De Molay Chap ter Holds Very Fine Banquet Parlors of the First Presbyterian Church Scene of Host En joyable Event. From Saturday's Dally Last evening the members of Cass Chapter, Order of DeMolay with a number of the parents and lady friends as well as members of the ; Masonic order, held a most delight ful banquet at the parlors of the I First Presbyterian church and which ' was attended by some fifty-one per sons. The parlors of the church were attractive in the purple and gold, the colors of the Order of DeMolay, these being carried out also in the table decorations of the fall chrys- anthmums. This is the first large public gath ering that the DeMolay has held in some time ami was filled with the greatest interest and enthusiasm on the part of the guests and the splen did array of young men that com prise the membership of this chap ter. The banquet was presided over by Morris Cummins, master councellor of Cass chapter as toastmaster and who was very well cast in this role Mr. Cummins gave a short address on the order and its work and which was very pleasing to the members of the party who have not been familiar with the DeMolay workings. Judge James T. Begley gave a very able address on the history of Dc Molav. taking first the history of Jacques DeMolay, one of the victim? of the persecution of the members of the orders of the Temple in the early history 'of France and who was con demned by Philip the Fair of France to the stake and was burned to death in the square in front of the Notre Dame cathederal. and thence the for mation of the order for the sons of Masons and their friends, which has in the last few years grown into one of the largest -orders in the United States and has several branches In Europe at this time. The virtues of the order, the parental love and obedience, the protection and main taining of the educational facilities of the country and the promotion of the chivalry of the membership in their dealings with their fellowmeii as well as the good morals and clean, upright living of their membership were stressed by Judge Begley in his remarks. During the banquet the Masonic male quartet composed of Frank Cloidt. R. K. Knorr. II. G. McClusky and Raymond Cook, gave several numbers that were much appreciated. Mrs. Knorr served ' as the accom panist for the dtiartet. The menu was one of the greatest delight and was prepared and served in the usual pleasing manner by the ladies auxiliary of the church and will long be most pleasantly remem bered by all of those in attendance. CANVASS MAIL VOTE From Saturday's Daily Yesterday afternoon the canvassing board that will make the official count of the votes cast in Cass coun ty, consisting of D. C. Morgan, demo crat, and I. J.

Sayles was one of the candidates and therefore the duties of the canvass de volve on the county judge.

Life is largely a matter of com parative values; comparative morals; comparative religions. A man to be an expert mathametician would not stop at arithmetic; a man to be a schooled railroad executive would not stop at driving spikes in the ties. So values are largely balanced by variety of experiences, and much general information. A visit to Chicago the first time is apalling. One is overwhelmed with the masses of people; the magnitude of the business structures; the mon ey required to build such a city of steel, iron and stone! Yet, when $1.05 per bu.; in Jan. $1.82; in April, 1924, $1.25; the farmer who had to dump his grain in September lost this. In 1925 January wheat was $1.51; in Dec. same year, $1.65. This illustrates the change of mar kets available thru extending deliv eries over a period of time. The average corn on Iowa farms runs 2,00 bushels. After deducting for seed and feed, approximately 1, 200 bushels left for market, which would be two loads per month, or 100 bushels if marketed monthly. In hiring trucks to deliver to mar ket in a volume the cost at Murdock is lc per bu., per mile. Storage are 7c per bu., for 6 months. Farmers today in Kansas, and points in Nebraska are paying $1.00 per bushel for corn, where they sold last year for approximately 50c. This could have been prevented thru monthly marketing and putting aside a surplus. And again, a poor corn crop, by utilizing the green feed, thru the silo, and the dairy products turns failure into profit. Some farmers near here have a weekly income of $15 or $C0 a month from cream. Droughty years, corn borers, will eventually for his ultimate success, so that we all may prosper. W. G.

His wealth builds the foundation for all this city." A thing that filled me with pride! And yet it is a truth economically unquestionable. We do not speak of a farmer as a "merchant" because he is a pro ducer, yet truthfully he is a pro ducer, jobber and a retailer and the highest type of a "general businesr man" the world has produced, and on account of difficulties encountered in being able to organize, has in dividually handled his own problems unassisted. Until man took a crooked stick dropped seed, and covered it the world was a nation of savages. The stability of the heme, the city, the financial world, has progressed only so fast as men reached out and be came farmers the first business of mankind. If the farmers today would cease to produce only what" they needed to feed themselves, New York, Chicago, Omaha. Kansas City, Den ver, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Boston, Portland, and Seattle would crumble into ruins like the old pyramids of Egypt! If every grain grower in Americr and Canada could agree after de duction of their grain for feed and seed, to market the balance in twelve equal deliveries monthly, market? would be stabilized; car supply equalized; a monthly cash revenue secured for the farmer; better prices from the merchant and less cost for storage charges and interest in handling the great volume that is plunged onto the market immediate ly after threshing. In September, 1923 wheat sold for From Saturday's ' Dally The matter of the estate of An drew Hendricksen, which has been pending an appeal to the state sup reme court has been settled and the appeal of the case dismissed by agree ment among the heirs of the estate. At the trial of the case in the coun ty court here on the application for the probate of the estate the will was sustained but later on appeal to the district court the will was broken by the verdict of the jury and the matter has now been pend ing an appeal to a higher court. In the will the real estate consisting of a farm was left to the widow of the deceased. The will was contested by a daugh ter by a first marriage, Mrs. Hulda Fritz and by the guardian of the minor heirs of a deceased son of Mr Hendricksen. The members of the family have made a settlement of the case to the satisfaction of all of the parties and which includes the payment of $1, 500 to Mrs. Fritz as her share of the estate.

Five more pure-bred Holsteins put into Cass county by Kex loung yes terday. In talking with hundreds of farmers I have met since coming to Plattsmouth, am sure the dairy cow is becoming recognized as a farm necessity. C. J. Fleischman of near Weeping Water Just bought two Hol steins. Says his boys in high school can milk those cows before and af ter school and pay their way thru high school. A farmer's son in school, has little time to help on the farm, but he can take care of sev eral milk cows and add to his owr cash as well as the farm by this method. Personally I consider the farmer is the natural aristocrat of America. He stands bock of the success of every business, factory, and merchant in the country. And his failure is as wilting to the prosperity of a na tion and as certain as the boll weevil is to the prosperity of the sunny south. W. T. Weddell, Murdock, has a spanking little herd of ten Jersey cows; they are making him good money. It is not "advice" or "lectur ing" we "dote on."
