Would Make a Good Yield A good yield of wheat is expected in this portion of the country, as those who are interested in the yield of this cereal have made some pretty searching investigations and by taking heads of wheat, including the largest and the smallest from the fields find that they have averaged 20 grains to the head. Thus apply ing the rule which has been quoted, Boaikby's Cafe ' Alvo, Nebr. A GOOD PLACE TO EAT Get a cool refreshing drink or an ice cream. Prices are right. David L. Boothby Goods for the Spring! Oil Stoves the housewife will appreciate, Cream Separators for more cream, Lawn Mowers to beautify the home surroundings, 'Big Ben' Alarm Clocks for early risers, Paints, Varnishes and all seasonable spring goods.

See Us for Your Needs Coalman ALVO :-: they say will give a bushel for every grain average and would make an average yield of 36 bushels to tne acrp. We do not know about the j rule, but would be pleased If this large a yield can be realized on all the wheat fields in Cass county. The farmer has a hard enough time mak ing anything these days and a bounc ing crop of wheat will help bring up his year's receipts to a point where he can more than eke out a living unless the bottom falls out of the price due to a large yield the coun try over. Weaver Denies Would Give Rod man the Field Eut McKullen's Lowden Talk May Mean Seeks Third Term Standpatters Control "No basis whatever" exists for the report that he will not make a fight for the governorship if Speaker Rod man of Omaha decides to run, de clared Arthur J. Weaver of Fall3 City in Omaha Friday. Mr. Weaver said, however, that the time is not ripe for him to make a "statement on the candidates." and added, "when I do. it will be address ed to the people of the state." Showing reluctance to make any statement at this time cn tho polit ical situation as a whole, Mr. Weaver said positively there is no truth in the report that he had made a defin ite decision either to favor Rodman or to run himself. Word had read Omaha Friday that he would withdraw in favor of Rod man, after he had praetlcaly told his friends that he intended to file. At this juncture, a number of the Rodmanites, coming from the ex treme standpat wing of the party, held a hurryirp meeting in Omaha and informally launched a boom for him. Thoy gathered together a group of men who nad been active during the recent legislature, and these are said to have pledged Rod man support. Mr. Weaver's hesitancy at this time is said to be due to his desire to avoid controversy, a trait which he showed when his name was men tioned years back for the same office If he persists in the position, it is possible that Governor McMullen may push his claims to a third term. The net result, if the situation does not clear, will be greatly to the adjGuess j had better go ahead, pain' vantage of the democratic party fo it is said, that many of Weaver'r friends are "clear off" both Rodman and the governor. Governor McMullen3 announce ment he i3 for Lowden for president is taken as an indication of his claim for further honors. Some republican? recently returned from Chicago, re oprt that Lowden will have a diffi cult time getting Illinois delegatef since the rise of Mayor Thompson tc power.

Mr. W. B. Estes. Wo are taking the liberty of ouotin? a few extracts from Secretary Estes' article to show other communities and other citise, have tne same prob lems and ideals, of our own good com munity. Mr. Estes writes: "Certainly we should evidence our gratitude by our cooperation by offering construe live criticism, coupled with mora" support and financial aid, or a gen uine spirit and practice of communit; patriotism." And again "But simply wanting prosperity does not beget it The desire Is bu a day-dream, realibation constitute-! a record of deeds." Also "Rights, privileges, and means o' ingress and egress were, are, and wil continue to be important problem' and assets to Sarasota's growth am" development." Here at home this i: evidenced by the need of good roads and most important, a bridge acros. the Missouri. Writing further "It is well to illustrate here, with a text assumed by an olu negrr preacher, 'Bredderin and sistahs, mal text am taken feom de Scripture what says. Fait wid-oupt de wurrs am 1 ai de possom wid-out de sweet taters.' ' Mr. Bekin stopped in for a fev minutes' visit. He claimed hard time; were due today to talking and think ing them.

Sketch of Life of Mrs. Mary J. 1 Fry, Deceased Funeral Services Held Ye-terday Af ternoon at the First Christian Church of This City. Mary Jane Watson was born in the state of Ohio January 8, 1856, and died at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, I June 7, 1927, after a long and pain ful illness. Mary Jane AVatson, early in life began experiencing the priva-! tions and hardships of the early set tlers of the middle west. Wlien she was but six months of age, with her parents, she journeyed in a covered vagon from Ohio to Illinois and later from Illinois to Kansas by the same medium of conveyance. With her parents she took" up the duties of making a home on the broad and rolling prairies of Morris county, Kansas, near what is now known as Council Grove, the county seat of Morris county. Here she spent her girlhood days. In those days the scorching hot winds from the south west during many of the summers and the unhindered sweep of the icy winds from the rjolar north during the winters made pioneer life on the Kansas prairies a' strenuous and not altogether pleasant one. Amidst such difficulties she grew to womanhood and naturally her nature was molded into a form of rugged hardiness and resolute deter mination as was common to so many of the better class of early settlers of these western prairies. It was at Council Grove, Kansas, that she made the acquaintance of Theodcre T. Fry who wooed and won her for his wife while she was yet in the years of her early woman hood. During the years of their married life they were residents of various communities. Two years were spent in Colorado, two years in Johnson county, Iowa. They also resided for two years in Warren county, Iowa, from which locality some 41 years ago, during 18S6, they came to take up residence In Plattsmouth. Here they continued to reside until the deathof the husband, which occur red January 18th, 1916. After his death, she continued on with her residence here until the grim reaper came and called hr hence. Giving heed to his summons while the sun was sinking low to the west on Tues day evening of this week, her spirit fled from its mortal home to other shores. Two sisters and two brothers have already gone on before. One brother. S. E. Watson, of Colorado Springs Colorado, remains to mourn -her go ing. Two children. Mrs. Grant Hacken berg. of this vicinity, and Mrs. Philip F. Rihn, of Union. Nebraska, both of whom have ministered faithfully to their mother's nedes during her late illness; are grief stricken at their Iofs. During the 71 years, 4 months and 30 days which the deceased lived, she was, after attaining sufficient age, a steady and constant attendant at church services. She was always i urging and helping those of her fam ily to likewise be at religious serv ices. Her belief and her trust was in the goodness of God and that he would deal mercifully with all of his children. In His hands she will re ceive justice and kindness and mercy A good woman and a true mother has gone from us. Our loss is great and in the years that are to come the children and their families and all of us who knew her will hold in our memory affectionate thoughts of her goodness and her kindness to us. Funeral services were conducted over the remains yesterday afternoon by Rev. Walter R. Robb, of Nebraska City.

Mr. Schreiber made a second test on the soil at the southwest corner of the building, which has been dry ing out somewhat spongy, thinking it might be necessary to further re inforce the footings before the wall at the south end of the building is erected, but decided that the 5-foot piling there every 30 inches apart together with the added width of the footings will carry the load all right without cracking. The construction work is moving along rapidly and 40 thousand of the 100 thoustand brick required to com plete the present portion of the struc ture are already in the walls. The steel sash and west grade door entranceways are being walled in today and with completion of the east wall to the same height, pour ing of the re-inforced concrete win dow areaways can proceed, as well as setting of the steel I beams support ing the future floor of the main audi torium.

W0SK UNDER WAY From Thursday's Dally Graveling of the K-T highway be- Jtween La Platte and Fort Crook was started yesterday ana nearly a nait imlle of hard surfacing completed by j night. The entire job should be com ipleted by the. end of this week and ) then all that will be left of the con tract cohering the Improvement of (the nine mile stretch of highway be jtween here and Fort Crook gate will be the placing of the guard rails. In a number of places where ex cessive fills have been made the road is unprotected at present and anyone driving off at night from the glare of blinding lights or otherwise, would find himself due for a long roll down the embankment into a deep ravine. When these are protected, as they will be soon, the road between Platts mouth and Omaha, which has been a source of so much grief to travelers and highway officials as well, will compare favorably with any stretch of hard surfaced road in the state.
