Future State Champion
While attending the state husk
ing: contest I stopped at the home of
Harry Pricker near Ashland and saw
what looks like the future state
champion Perchon Stallion.
The colt was sired by St. Joseph,
once owned by the State Agriculture
College and now owned by Conant
Wolph near Nehawka.
The colt certainly has a great
future and if you are interested in
a stallion nee him.

freeze if the winter is average, ac
cording to Professor Swenk's cir
cular about control of chinch bugs.
Moisture and cold will kill 90 per
cent of the bugs wintering in no
more protection that these places
afford.
Fence rows of clump and matted
grass, trash heaps, ravines of this
tles and clump grass, and such heav
ily covered places are the ones to
be burned. The fire should be slow,
not a wind whipped blaze that only
takes off the tops of the grass
clumps. Complete burning of these
places will rid the neighborhood of
9S per cent of the bugs, the circular
states.
The burning campaign, If It ia to
get results must be community wide.
While one can do some good by
burning his grass and , trash, his
neighbors' bugs harbors will furnish
enough bugs for him again next
year.
No county-wide of precinct-wide
burning day will be set because the
weather is not dependable and the
fires should be set on a quiet, dry
day if best results are to be expect
ed. Neighbors are being urged to
cooperate, however, and whole com
munities to burn up the bugs this
winter as crop insurance for next
year.

Suit qf m- J
wood Parties
aHeadliner
Draws Large Crowd and Provides
Most Sensational Testimony of
' ' Any This Court Term.
From rWedneRdaysDaily
The $10,000 suit for allienation of
affeetfohs Which was - filed by Jacob
Sterner of Elmwood -against Lance
elites, of near Alvo, was the headliner
in. .the . district, court today before
Judge James T. Begley and the jury,
and was one of the spiciest and most
sensational of . the cases that have
been rtried this term, the basis of the
suit' being the eternal triangle that
has formed the basis of many dra
matic --stories and plays, furnishing
the -group of auditors in the court
room a sensation far different from
the usual dry and uninteresting pro
ceedings of the courts of law.
This case has attracted a great
deal of attention in the western por
tion f Cass county, where the par
ties reside, the plaintiff in the case
running a restaurant at Elmwood
while- the defendant is a well known
farmer in the vicinity of Alvo. The
interest in the -case out where the
parties are best known, is evidenced
by the number of parties from that
vicinity In attendance at the trial to
hear the domestic affairs of the Ster
ner family aired to the public.
There was a good deal of testimony
offered, the chief witness for the
prosecution being the plaintiff him
self -who related several occasions
when he claimed he had seen the de
fendant in company with his wife on
the streets at Elmwood, Lincoln and
other places. The plaintiff stated he
had several times remonstrated with
Mr. elites, but without success.
The witness on cross examination
acknowledged that prior to the time
he had known Mr. elites, he had had
trouble with a man named Cline on
charges that he had been writing to
Mrs. Sterner, and that they had had
more or less domestic trouble at that
time. The witness in response to the
inquiries of Claude Wilson, of Lin
coln, counsel for the defense, stated
that he had not struck hi3 wife, but
on further questioning stated that he
had been threshed by a brother of
Mrs. Sterner at one time for alleged
beating of the wife.
The wife of the plaintiff was on
the stand for some little time, but
did not answer a great many of the
questions, as she availed herself of
her rights not to testify concerning
any alleged relations with the defend
ant, elites. On the cross examina
tion by Mr.; Wilson. Mrs. Sterner stat
ed that she had been' struck at times
by Mr. elites.
At the noon hour recess was had
and further witnesses will be sum
moned from Elmwood to testlmy in
the case for the plaintiff.

returned monday from a month's
visit In Morrill county, near Bayard.

though It almost deafening.
He also spent many hours in the
saddle, riding over the vast estate
and says it would take more than a
day to 'ride over it all. It is 15 miles
across the place. The canyons are
very picturesque and beautiful and
are so high that when one is on the
top of them and" looks down, it might
well make one dizzy. They are cover
ed with pine trees, many of which
are SO feet in height.
: Mr Schlater employs several men
and one meets up "with regular cow
boys oh t there who thoroughly un
derstand the game; It is a fine, wild,
free life and - appealed very much
both to. Mr. Ossenkop and to his wife
who, state that they will live thru
the . coming year in anticipation of
another visit. out there next fall.

Finds Many
Uses for an
Automobile
Eddie Todd of This City Has Found
Car Useful in Farm Work as
Well as for Pleasure.
From Wednesday's Daily
Eddie Todd of Plattsmouth is quite
an enthusiast for auto traveling and
usually drives to California each win
ter spending the season in the vicin
ity of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
Eddie relates that on a trip in
Oregon at a certain place on a moun
tain road the engine was much over
heated and at last coming to a sort
ftf tavern he enquired about water
and was told that water was scarce
but he could have what was needed
at 50c a gallon.
Eddie thought this pretty high
priced and decided to go on, and just
around the corner (about 50 yard3
further on) he came on a natural
spring from where the man was pip
ing the water which he was selling at
a nice profit.
The Todd family arrived back in
Cass county in July. 1925. and after
arranging his farming affairs, Eddie
and Mrs. Todd and son. Albert, left
for a 3 weeks tour of the North,
visiting the summer resorts in North
and South Dakota. Ninnesota and
Canada.
They found many miles of fine
graveled roads particularly in Min
nesota and the trip was much en
joyed, also the visits with relatives
in North Dakota.
- Eddie believes in getting other
service from his car than travel, and
jhas rigged a stump pulling apparatus
with which he tan full stumps as
well as being a great aid in getting
out trees.
Any farmer who would like to get
some pointers on the stump puling
apparatus would do well to call on
Eddie and see his stump puller work.
During his trip back from Californ
ia, which was made during the month
of June, and to the North, which was
made In late August, Eddie say oats
being harvested in June and too green
to be cut in September.
