HAS UNUSUAL CASE
From Wednesday's Daily
Mrs. Earl Redd of this city has for
several months bpen RiifFprlne' from
! what is termed chronic tetanus, the
case being unusual In many ways
and which has attracted the atten
tion of the leading physicians in
Omaha. The affliction has been in
the hand and every finger as well
as the palm of the hand has been
lanced in order to eive the natlpnt
some measure of relief but she If
still suffering a great deal from the
nana ana some Infection still exists.
Dr. Hotz of Omaha has had the care
of the patient and has been able to
give her some relief from the ter
rible suffering that she has endured
but she is still far from recovered
and It Is thought that the hand will
probably be useless in the future.
The infection was caused when a
small piece of screen wire was ran
into the hand and developed an in
fection and this became so bad that
the patient was taken with tetanus
and suffered three attacks of this
terrible malady. The disease Is un
usual in the case of Mrs. Redd as It
seems to have affected the tissues of
the hand rather than the muscler
and while a case of tetanus usually
passes in ten days, her case has cov
ered several months.

The football team should hove the
patronage of the public and to give
them the community spirit in back

gridiron and those who enjoy foot
ball should make it a point to at
tend the home games of the locals.
PUBLIC FOOTS THE BILL
"Why Is arson so prevalent In
America?" asks the magazine, Safe-
euardlne America Against Fire
"Why Is it that today, with more and
more agencies, public and private
ferreting out and bringing to Jus
tice the incendiary, the crime remains
so common? Why is it that the fire
loss today in many lines of business
has become a reliable barometer ol
the condition, profitable or the re
verse, of these businesses?
"First and foremost, is the state
of public opinion. For some reason
extremely plain the American people
persist in winking at the most usual
form of arson, the fraud fire to obtain
the insurance. People do not compre
hend that when they wink at fraud
fires, they are winking at no one
but themselves. They do not seem to
understand that when insurance
companies unwittingly pay a false
claim, the ultimate losers are not
the underwriters, but every Insured
property owner.
"Arson losses are defrayed out of
the pockets of honest policyholders in
two ways: directly, since the insur
ance company Just collects from the
many to reimburse the few who suf
fer loss; and Indirectly, because the
more fires and the higher the burn
ing ratio, the higher the rate that
must be paid for insurance protec
tion. Nothing, it would seem, could
be any clearer or more rational than
this; and yet the American people
for generations could not, or would
not, grasp it.
Slowly now, but surely, the pub
lic attitude is changing. But there is
yet entirely too much sympathy
wasted on the individual who can
put it over on 'the rich, soulless in
surance company' when, in real
ity, he Is 'putting it over' on nobody
but his sympathetic friends and
neighbors. Only when the altered
public attitude towards arson be
comes general, will the Incendiary's
torch begin to flicked out In Ameri
ca. Meanwhile It persists as the
chief factor in making this country
the land of the self-destroyer of prop
erty."

Fifty Years
in Membership
of Masonry

James M. Robertson of This City Was
Raised in Masonary on Eep
tember 7, 1872
From Wednesday s Daily
James M. Robertson of this city is
today observing the fiftieth anniver
sary of his becoming a member of
the Masonic order in which he has
risen to be one of the most outstand
ing members in the state and has
been highly honored in the order.
When Mr. Robertson first came to
this country he was engaged in the
work of supervising the stone work
on the building now used as a part
of the state penitentiary, this being
in the early seventies, his work mak
ing it necessary for him to locate at
Lincoln. While he was residing there
he made his petition to Lincoln lodge
I No. 19. A. F. & A. M., and was on
September 7. 1877. made a full
neugea mfmucr ui iuc uiuci, ucmj u
very active member of the lodge
during the years of his residence in
the then comparatively young capi
tol city.
Later Mr. Robertson engaged in
the stone and sand business for him
self and moved to Cass county, to
live for a time at Weeping Water
where he operated a quarry and later
moved to Louisville where he resided
until in 1895 when he came with the
family to Plattsmouth. For the first
time since leaving Lincoln Mr. Rob
ertson found himself able to be in
touch with the higher branches of
Masonary and advanced in the York
rite branch of the order to the Royal
Arch Masons, being a member of Ne
braska chapter No. 3 of this city and
later became a member of Mt. Zion
commandery No. 5, Knights Templar.
In all these years Mr. Robertson
has retained his blue lodge mem
bership in Lincoln Lodge No. 19
and is now one of the oldest mem
bers of that lodge in years of mem
bership. Mr. Robertson has filled the var
ious offices in the Plattsmouth R. A.
M., and K. T. and was in 1924 elect
ed as grand high priest of the Royal
Arch Masons of Nebraska and in
1926 was elected at the grand com
mandery of the Knights Templar of
Nebraska at Plattsmouth, to be the
grand commander of that order in
the state, retiring at the command
ery held this year at Norfolk.
Mr. Robertson has been for several
years and is still the president of
the Nebraska Masonic Home asso
ciation and one of the leaders in the
work of securing one of the greatest
homes for the order that any state
possesses.
The Masons of Nebraska have a
distinguished figure in Mr. Robertson
and his selection to the many high
offices in the order is proof of the
love and confidence that his fellow
members have for their able as
sociate. On the fiftieth anniversary as a
member of the Masonic order Mr.
Robertson will have the best wisher
of hia friends in the order as well
as in the community at large, for
many more years of service in the
work of the A. F. & A. M.

Can Encourage Pullets to Lay.
Early pullets that are now quite
mature may be encouraged to lay
more eggs this fall by giving them
animal protein in a mash or by feed
ing them skim milk. Meat meal or
tankage is the most satisfactory ani
mal protein to use in a dry or wet
mash and can be mixed with finely
ground grains up to 20 per cent
with safety. Pullets can be forced
to eat more mash this fall by grad
ually cutting down the grain feef'
until they eat 10 pounds or more of
mash per 100 hens per day. A daily
feeding of moist skim milk or but
termilk before the pullets all the
time will take the place of half the
animal protein in the mash.

and successful fungicide for preven
tion of stinking fmut or bunt in
wheat. The seed wheat must be
thoroly coated by mixing two or three
ounces of copper carbonate dust
with each bushel of wheat. Unless
the seed is thoroly couted with the
powder, good results cannot be ex
pected. Smut is caused by a spore which
is on the seed when it is planted
This spore germinates when the
wheat does and infects the young
wheat seedling. If no infection takes
place at the seedling stage, there will
be no smut in the wheat when it ma
tures. If all the spores on the seed
are killed by treating, thre will be
no Infection. Since the best temp-
r erature for wheat germination is
higher than that for smut, early
seeding of wheat helps to control the
smut. There treatment and reason
ably early seeding on a moist seed
bed are the best preventatives of
smut. Treat the seed in the open, so
as not to Inhale the dust. It may
cause illness.
It is not advisable to use an ex
cess amount of powder in treating
the wheat since this may cause clog
ging of the drill. When seeding
wheat treated with copper carbon
ate, it is advisable to rock the drill at
the beginning of each day's work to
see that the drill shaft is turned
normally . This will prevent any dan
ger of twisting or creakage of the
shaft.
