A run was made by the home team
and then came a series of excellent
stick work and base running by the
hard-hitting Greenwood boys,, amidst
much cheering by the fans and fan

won by the Greenwood team and

Have a Good Picnic
The three days picnic which the
community of Greenwood put on was
one which reflects great credit on
the town and the entire coterie of
committees and their faithful work
for the success of the movement. The
picnic was clean from start to finish,
as nothing else would satisfy the
committee. The shows were clean
and moral, the amusements were such
that all were satisfied and large size
crowds were in evidence every night
and all day on Saturday. The pic
jaie was a financial success and was
one that was pleasing to all the visi
tors. The people of Greenwood are
well pleased with the success of the
affair and will make this the first of
their annual meetings.

of the death on July 24th at Lemgo.
Lippe-Detmold, Germany, of his
mother, Mrs Fredericke Jasper.
Mr3. Jasper, who was sixty years
of age, had been apparently in her
usual health and had gone to the
business section of the city to look
after some trading and was taken
sick there, returning home and in a
few hours had passed away.
The deceased lady has spent her
lifetime in the community where she
passed away and was a devout mem
ber cf the German Reformed church,
in which faith she was laid to the
last rest.
She is survived by two sons, Paul
Jasper, of Berlin, Germany and
Henry Jasper of this city.
In the loss of the mother Mr. Jas
per will have the deep sympathy of
the many friends in this city for the
loss that has taken away the loved
one and especially sorrowing is the
fact that Mr. Jasper was unable to
attend the last rites.

just bank on it being a rare treat
funnier than the funnies.
Here's the reprint of a letter re

of this great stage play:

Messrs. Cloidt & Moore,

Gentlemen:
I want to congratulate you on se
curing "Safety First."
I had the pleasure of seeing this
play about eight weeks ago and I
certainly enjoyed every minute of it.
I can't help but feel that you have
made one mistake and that is that
you should have had this booked for
two nights instead of one, as I don't
feel you will be able to accommodate
all the people in one night.
Just to show you how good I think
this play is, I am coming to see it
over again.
Yours very truly,

than any other tire of such qual
ity on the market.
Courier Tires and Tubes are
other great Firestone-built values

AUGUST CROP EEPOET
By II. Nave, of the Federal
Game Bureau, D. C
Nebraska is in for another year of
heavy crops. From an unfavorable
start last spring, crops have pro
gressed until the situation is most
optimistic. High yields of all small
grain crops are now realized and the
corn crop has a splendid chance to
make a new high record. All crops
except tame hay and fruit are above
the live year average.
The condition of corn in this coun
ty is 94 per cent, an improvement of
per cent over a week ago. Cass
county, one of the best counties in
the state, will have one of the larg
est corn crops in the state.
44,000 acres of wheat in Cass coun
ty produced an average yield of 20
bushels to the acre.
Potatoes run up to 100 per cent.
Tame hay, SO per cent; wild hay,
90 per cent; alfalfa, SO per cent.
The farmers indicate an upward
tendency in crop acreages this season
and some shifting of acreages away
from hay and toward crops which
have given larger returns per acre.
There is a decrease of 7 per cent
in the spring pig crop of 192S from
that of 1927. The number of sows
bred or to be bred for fall farrowing
of 1928 point to a decrease in the fall
pig crop, assuming a similar relation
ship between breeding intentions and
actual farrowing as has prevailed in
other years.
With better prospects for the corn f
crop than prevailed a year ago and
the upward movement of a new hog
price cycle under way, the coming
hog price ratio is expected to be
come more favorable for hog produc
tion. The price situation is very con
flicting. Prices received by farmers
are averaging 14 5 per cent of the
pre-war level, while retail prices be
ing paid by farmers for commodities
used in production and in the farm
home are averaging 156 per cent of
the pre-war level on these commodi
ties. Thus the purchasing power of
farm products in exchange for com
modities bought is about 96.90 per
cent of the pre-war ratio.
In looking ahead, producers should
plan to stabilize production at a
reasonably profitable level and not
continue planning production on the
basis of the past year's prices on hogs
and corn. Should this year's corn
croD turn out to be larger than aver
age and be low in price, the policy J
should be to hold more of the corn
over another year and plant less next
year, rather than to plan to Increase
hog production in order to take care
of the low priced surplus corn. Hog
production should increase slowly as
the demand increases, rather than
having an over production and a de
moralized market.

est month in point or receipts since

W. Bass, chief of the gasoline tax
bureau.
Up to Wednesday noon, the re
