All Expected to Mature if Freeze Holds OS Three Weeks Ears Free From. Insect Damage Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 18. Forty seven per cent of Nebraska's corn crop was beyond danger of frost on September 15, and 87 per cent of it will be matured by October 1, if frost holds off, according to an official check made today by F. K. Heed, as sistant statistician for the state and federal division of agricultural sta tistics. The estimate is based upon a per sonal tour of inspection which cover ed the entire state, and upon prelim inary compilations of the regular mid-month crop reports received from bankers in all parts of the siate. The hot weather during the first half of September matured a large proportion of the Nebraska corn ord or near-record crop for the rest of the state. In the drier sections of the state there will be some chaffy corn as a result of the hot, dry weather, the report indicated, but the damage ; done in this way will be much more nan offset by the good done in other sections, most of which had pienty of moisture with the burning sun. The ears are unusually free from insect in ft station and disease. More than 4 0 per cent of the crop in this section is now beyond frost danger and if good weather continues 90 per cent will be mateured by Octo ber 1. The rest of the crop will take to October 10 to reach 100 per cent maturity. However, October 10 is j earlier than the average date of the fint killing frosts in the southeas ) ern section, according to weather bureau records. The Missouri river that forms the boundries between Cass and Mills counties is the source of unfailing trouble as each year the Btream threatens to change its course from near Folsom and lay out a new chan nel that will be considerably east of the present course and near the curve bridge of the Burlington. The river overflowed to a great ex tent this spring and summer, the farm lands west and north of Pacific Junction and took toll of a great deal of land near Folsom and placed the river in a position of even great er menace to the residents of the western part of Mills county. In the past years the U. S. govern ment, the state of Iowa, Mills county and the C. B. & Q. railroad have spent hundreds of thousands of dol lars in an effort to subdue the river but with very little success. There seems to be only two nithods of solving the river problem, one that of allowing the stream to seek a new channel through the farming land of Mills county, or the creation of concrete walls and break waters at points above the menaced sections that would turn the course of the main current to the Nebraska side of the river where the forma tio of the land seems more resisting to the river, particularly near this city and south. Engineers representing the gov ernment have been in th-? vicinity of I olsom, inspecting the condition jOC the river at that place and to de ! cide on some steps that might per manently remedy the condition that exists in the stream along the Iown side of the river. A change in the current of the r!ver and the flowing of the stream 'through Mills county would leave he piesent Builington bridge over the river as the fording place of the '.mains of the mighty river as the li.;: In cruise of the river would un doubtedly folow the new stream.

Kroi'i Wednesday's Dally The Quality bakery, located in the : Fro Bekin building was sold yesterday afternoon to D. II. Wentworth of Omaha, well knwn baker of that city and who will take over the plant in the next few days and start the active management of the baking and sales department of this modern establishment. The bakery has been in charge of Harold G. Renner since the death of hio grandfather, the late C. L. Her ger, and the bakery has been en larged with the placing of large modern ovens and a great deal of the latest type equipment that has made the bakery one of the most up to date in the state. Mr. Renner has desired to move to the west for the past year and having the opportunity, disposed of his in terest to the Omaha baker and who will prepare to at once take over the plant and start the active operation of the bakery. The new owner of the Quality bak ery comes to this city very highly recommended as a baker and one whose years of practical experience should give the people of this local ity a real up to the minute service in the line of the best of the bakery ; goods. . Mr. Wentworth will receive a very FUNERAL OF STANLEY HALL WVdnesrta y's Dally Yesterday afternoon the funeral services of the late I.'iac Stanley Hall was held at the Itcck Bluffs school building south of this city and the services attended by a very large number of the old time friends and neighbors who came to pay their last tribuates to the departed old friend and neighbor. The services were conducted by the Rev. IT. G. McClusky, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city and who paid a tribute to the de parted and spoke words of comfort to the family of the departed. During the services Frank A. Cloidt and II. G. McCIusky gave a duet, "Jesus Lover of My Soul." and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." At the conclusion of the service the body was borne to the Rock Bluff cemetery overlooking the old home where the deceased had been born and reared and laid to rest there in that city of the silent. , ELECTED S0R0ITY PRESIDENT mm B Sunday, Sept. 25th Two Good Fast Games Turn Out and See Them!

The telephone, through research and experience, has become the father of an illustrious family of communica tion instruments including the Vita phone, which furnishes a voice to motion pictures; an audiometer to to test hearing; an electrical stetho scope which amplifies the faintest heart sounds; a public address system! which carries a speaker's voice to tens of thousands; and the microphone the heart of the radio. Many of these devices are used in some form by the telephone industry in transmitting human speech; others have found a big and useful field in other industries. A force of 3,800 peo-i pie, composed of scentists, engineers, chemists and research workers, are seeking better, cheaper and fasterim provements in telephony. This service is part of the contri bution to the general welfare and happiness of the public which a pri-j vately owened and optrated utility; makes, and is in vivid contrast to the; nonprogresive attitude of goverment owened and operated telephone sys tems in Europe where the service isi iSO wretched. j May day festivities in her senior year at the Plattsmouth school.
