BILL CREATES EXCITEMENT from Saturday's Dall William E. Rosencrans, II, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Rosencrans of this city, was the unknowing cause of a great deal of excitement around the Rosencrans home on Thursday night and for some little time the family and a number of volunteer workers were out on the search for the young man. It seems that the Rosencrans family had planned a big picnic and fishing party for Thurs day evening, expecting to leave about 6 p. m. for the Platte where Clate was to demonstrate to the family his adeptness in the angling art. The conversation were soaked up by the younger member of the Rosencrans family and he realized that fish as well as humans, must have bait, so quietly and without informing his parents he grabbed a bucket and started for the bottoms east of the city to secure minnows for bait. The time for the big hegira of the family to the fishing grounds came, but no Bill and then the search started. It was dark when Bill arrived home, having secured the minnows breaking up the party by his late arrival. It is claimed that when the loss of the boy was discovert d that Clate at onw drove out to the golf course to uy and locate him. SUFFERING FROM INFECTION From Saturday's Daily H. W.

With corn generally twelve days late and somewhat retarded in its growth by recent cool weather, much fear is said to be prevalent through out Nebraska over the possibility of severe frost damage to the crop. Reports from over the state indi cate that most of the corn is now in the roasting ear stage which indi cates that the crop will not mature until about October. A frost before that date, agricultural authorities de clare, will inflict severe damage on the corn. The maturity of the corn, however, it was pointed out, depends largely on the moisture condition. With much moisture prevalent the corn matures more slowly than it does in dry weather. High temperatures also help materially in the maturity of the crop. A recent report of the state de partment of agriculture said that all counties of the state had a moisture supply which ranged from sufficient to a surplus, which would indicate that the crop would not mature be fore the average frost dates. The killing frost which damaged Nebraskas corn in 1915 came on Oc tober 9, records at the United States weather bureau here show. Killing frosts since 1915 have oc curred on the following dates: 1916 September 29. 1917 October S. 1918 September 20. 1919 October 11. 1920 September 30. 1921 October 12. 1922 October 9. 1923 October 20. 1924 November 6. 1925 October 9. 1926 October 24.

HEROES AND PATRIOTS In a western city there lives a htro, a fireman who carried a child down a ladder from a burning ten- I ement in the midst of flames and smoke. He was badly injured while performing his brave deed and spent many weeks in the hospital. He re ceivtd the acclaim cf the public. We laud his courage. This is as it should be. There is another man in the same city who has received little or no at tention. No one has ever thought of calling him a hero. He is the quiet, hard-beaded business man who builds his tenements so that those who live in them are free from the fear of fire. He has saved dozens of lives by preventing fires. It is too bad that fire prevention cannot be made spectacular. However, we can at least honor the man who minimizes fire loss by spending thought and money in its prevention.
