Only slight damage was done to
apple crop, but other fruits will In
some cases be almost a total loss as
a result of Sunday night's freeze, ac
cording to agricultural college au

20 degrees in Lincoln and in places
in Nebraska was as low as 8 degrees.
Peaches and apricots may be a
total loss in some parts of the state
and the damage to plums and pears
was also considerable, according to
Prof. S. C. WIggans, of the horticul
tural department. None of these
fruits is of much commercial Import
ance in Nebraska, but thousands of
dollars worth of apples and grapes
are marketed every year.
The full extent of the damage can
only be determined by examination
I of the trees, according to Professor

j Lincoln, indicated that this crop was

English were marching to Concord
and Lexington, the daring patriot,
Paul Revere, started on his ride that
was to render him undying fame in
the national history.
The Minute Men of the country
side, aroused by the message from
Boston assembled on the green at
Lexington commons and near the
creek that was peacefully flowing in
the dull dawn of the April morning
the English found their sons of the
New World were standing for their
own rights and as the scarlet coated
soldiers advanced on the colonists,
a shot was fired and the war was
on to last through four years of
trial and privation for the brave men
and women of the colonies but des
tined to end in triumph when the
surrender of Lord Cornwallis, com
mander of the English forces at York-

power and the independence of our

Race Won by
Senator Howell
Outside Omaha
Plurality of 18,269 Recorded With
571 Precincts Out; Norris Aids
Fight of Incumbent.
With reports from more than half
of the state in hand late Wednesday,
Senator R. B. Howell appeared to
have suffered defeat in his home town
in the face of election returns giving
him the senatorial nomination by
aDDroximatelv 20.000 majority. He
lost Omaha to Attorney General Spill
man by 1,000 plurality. Senator Nor
ris left the Omaha campaign to
Howell and Bob Smith. They lost it
The success of Howell was Norris
success in corraling the votes In the
state.-
Senator Howell's lead continued
to grow as outstate returns came in
When 1.412 precincts out of 1,983
had been tabulated by the Associated
Press, the vote was, Howell, 63,-
851; Epillman, 45,582.
E. E. Placek of "Wahoo gained i
few votes on R. L. Metcalfe of Oma
ha for the democratic senatorial
nomination, as late returns came in
from rural districts. The vote on
1,412 precincts was Metcalfe, 26,-
388; Placek, 20,456.
Arthur Mullen, democratic nation
al committeeman, continued to in
crease his lead over William Ritchie,
jr., the total on 1,293 precincts beini
Mullen, 27,151; Ritchie, 21,556.
Another serious feature of the elec
tions, for Norris as well as Howell,
was the indifference of approximate
ly one-half of the republican voters
This indifference, which amounts
substantially to refusal to vote, is a
low water mark for the Norris ap
peal.
As a result of his victory in the
primaries, Howell will seek re-election
in November against Richard
L. Metcalfe of Omaha, who won the
democratic nomination from E. E.
Placek of Wahoo.
The vote in 953 precincts gave
Metcalfe 18,280 and Placek 14,784
Returns indicate the election of
five McMullen delegates-at-large to
the republican national convention
and two McKelvie delegates. McMul
len delegates are pledged to support
Senator Norris, Former Governor
Frank O. Lowden, or, if a deadlock
occurs, a candidate who is favorable
to the equalization fee principle of
the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill.
Governor Adam McMullen made an
extensive speaking campaign in be
half of his slate.
The McKelvie delegates are pledg
ed to support a presidential candidate
who is favorable to President Cool
idge's administration.
Returns from 818 precincts out of
a total of 1,983 precincts in the state

AN ODE TO MOTHER NATURE
Oh lovely pine tree, straight
and tall.
With outspread branches
of bright hue.
Thy glorious green, through
spring and fall.
Pine tree, I admire you.
Oh red, red rose to me's
more fair.
That lovely flower of the
dust.
Forever you. I'd love to
wear.
I know that thou wilt fade.
Thou must.
Oh sweet, canary of the
cage.
Thy music is still sweeter
yet.
Increases, joy, banishes
rage.
Our sorrows, you make us
forget.
The earth has many pretty
things.
There's beauty in each
thing we see.
Some kind of Joy, it always
brings.
And lessons too, for you
and me.

Delegates Divided.
Latest returns, incomplete in each
instance, divides the district dele
gates between the two slates Mc
Mullen. 6; McKelvie, 4 with the
delegation from Douglas county not
included.
The race attracting the greatest
attention in the democratic party
was that made by William Ritchie,
r., who sought to deny Arthur Mul
len, veteran democratic leader, the
rewards of a grateful constituency.
Available returns, make it apparent,
however, that Ritchie's strenuous
campaign fell short of the mark and
that Arthur Mullen would again oc
cupy the democratic national com
mitteeman's chair from Nebraska, i
The vote in 817 precincts . gave:
Mullen, 17,983; Ritchie, 13,638.
Returns from less than half the
state gave Arthur J. Weaver a big
majority in the republican guber
natorial contest. In 456 precincts
he polled 25,676, as compared with
Robert G. Ross of Lexington, who
polled 6,861. and 3,882 for Roy M.
