The early spring rains left a large amount of moisture in the soil but this haF been soaked dee'p into the earth and left the surface decidedly dry and very hard for the farmers and gar deners to carry on their work. In the past week need of moisture was much marked and the farmers 'had begun to see the need soon of rain if 'there was to be any corn crop or gardens in this section. The average person has the habit of complaining about the weather, when it rains they want dry weather ard when it Is dry they want rain and there you are. However the weather man generally sees that this DOrtion of Whraslf.1 Jhaa ahnul the J right kind of weather to produce a Igood crop and help feed the world. masssssssaob 1 Journal Want Ads bring re&uKs.

Improvement of the Roads in Western Cass Vicinity of Eagle to Have Secondary ( Roads fixed Up in the Rest of Shape. Last Friday afternoon County Com missioner Fred Gorder came down from Weeping Water and in com pany with a party, including the editor of The Beacon, made a trip over the rural roads in the vicinity of Eagle for the purpose of locating the most needed work. The object of the inspection at this time is to have the work done early in the sea son so it will be well packed before next winter. For many years the policy has been to do road work dur ing the farmers dull season late in the fall, with the result that the roads are left in a miserable condi tion just when needed most. Mr. Gorder was heartily in favor of our plan to work tmt a program for early improvement especially of the mail and school routes and readily agreed to lend every assistance possible. It is expected that some of the farmers even at personal expense in ousy times, will assist in pulling their neighborhood out of the mud by placing teams and men on the work. All the really needed work cannot be done this year, but Mr. Gorder, after viewing the situation, will know- how to handle it to the best advan tage. There are several places where small steel bridges will be substituted for prsent drains, and these drains i placed elsewhere. Some grading will be done in the worst places, and the drainage looked after so the water will not stand in the road. He in formed us that he would have a crew at work on these places by the loth of June, and that this program of more substantial work properly dis tributed, and with the co-operation of adjacent farmers, would in a few years place our roads in fine condi tion.

Ask your neighbor t The owners of Beautiful Arcade Rest, which has been established in this city at the former Walker resi dence property in the north portion of the city, are planning a number of improvements and changes that will make it a place where the sick and ailiug may be cared for with all of the comforts of home and the most restful of surroundings. Mrs Gertrude Epperson, the matron states The management of Beautiful Ar cade Rest plan, if the response to the efforts they are making is sufficient to have an annex erected at the grounds on North 4th street that will permit the handling of a larger num ber of patients. The equipment of the Arcade will include electric. steam, sun and massage baths, as well as the electric vibration treat ments for the patients who may be n need of them. The pleasant surroundings of the Rest and the careful treatment that will be given the patients should make this place one of the most popu lar resorts in this section of the state. In addition to the treatments af forded here the Arcade Rest will also have in connection, a large farm where nervous patients can be cared for and under the most skillful treat ment and rest be lured back to health the farm srivine ample room for th recreation of the patients and assuring the quiet and rest needed This is a fine opportunity for the residents here to encourage the mana gement of Arcade Rest who are get ting their institution established and which will fill a long felt want in this locality. ZESS GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS DAY NEHAWKA HAS ROBBERS From Saturday's Pally Some time during the night Tues day. $25.00 was stolen from the Willis Cash Grocery. Mr. Willis had $48.00 in bills and placed the mon ey in a drawer among other papers during the day. Forgetting about the money, he locked up the store that evening and the next morning the money was gone. Whoever took the money evidently knew where it was put and was fa miliar with the store. Entrance was gained to the store by breaking the lock on the cellar door and entering the store from the basement. As only $25.00 of the $48.00 was taken, it is thought that the job was tne work of some youngster who did not have use for so much money. rivdc Duckworth sleeps above the store and it is thought the money was taken after Mr. Willis closed up for the evening and before Clyde re tired for the night. Nehawka En terprise. CLAIMS HE WAS SLAVE Governor AdamMcMullen issued r proclamation Friday setting aside June 14, as Flag day. The proclama tion follows: The flag, our star spangled banner was born into the family of nations June 14, 1777, by act of the con tinental congress. The colonies, fight ing for independence from the moth er country, could hardly be called r nation in the technical sense, but by final success this embryo nation dates from the great declaration, almost a year before the adoption of a flag. What a transformation in that brief span in the life of a nation. The 4,000,000 have grown to 115,000,000. From being among the weakest it has grown to be one of the strongest na tions. Its preeminence rests on the fact that the power or the gcverr ment is in its citizens. The flag p; claims the divine right of liberty 5 man. rower unuer tne nag cannot. l. inherited. It must be the free-choice of a free people. The flag stands for the inalienable right of the pepole tc be their own rulers. The flag is the symbol of soverignty, the sign of au thority, the guarantee of liberty and justice. It has ever been imagination to the poet, wisdom and eloquence to the statesman, ambition to the stu dent, inspiration to the scholar, hope and happiness to all who labor for home and country. It is dedicated to the peace of righteousness. Now, therefore, I, Adam McMullen. governor of Nebraska, call upon all the people of the state to do honor to the flag on its one hundred and fiftieth birthday. Let it be displayed in all public buildings, on the streets of our cities and at the homo of our citizens. Children should be told its history and taught to love the flag as the emblem of cur liberties. Done at Lincoln, tne capital, this 3d day of June, 1927. ADAM M'MULLEN, Governor.
