Paul and Herman Richter who are
hustlers when it comes to work have

nicely and happiness reigns supreme
in this fortunate home.
Messrs Eyers Hamsey of Sarpy
county were down looking over the
Duroc herd of hogs of Albert Young

tion herd, they have tried other
breeds and find for quick and heavy
development large letters and easy
fattening, none can excell or even
compare with the Duroc. this was
in evidence at the fair this year the
demand for gilts was far in excess
cf the ability to furnish, men want
ing to get back in the Duroc class.

Gets Buffalo for Christmas.
George Nickles and wife of Mur
ray and Lee Nickles and sister, Miss
Etta Nickles of Plattsmouth. are to
enjoy a very fine buffalo steak for
their dinner Christmas day, which
was presented to them by their bro
ther, Charles Nickles, as the follow
ing tells from a South Dakota paper:
Since the time that the Pilgrim
fathers stepped thankfully out r-f
the Mayflower on to Plymouth Rock,
the turkey has been the symbol of
Thanksgiving festive board. Not
only that, but it has become a uni
versal Christmas dish as well. Some,
however, prefer goose, while still
others think no Christmas: meal is
complete without their favorite en
tree, what over it may be.
But three hunters who were in
Rapid City early this week, thir.k
that they have the makings of a
perfect Christmas f ast. The three
big game stalker?, C. F. Nirkles. A.
E. Richards and Charles Burnett,
all living near Wall, are geing to
have Buffalo steal; for Christmas.
They came to Rr.; id City armed
with a special permit that g.vt- ;htr
the right to go ou. in the S ait- park
with one of the wardens and shoxt
a nice big bull.
Three shots it required to bring
the former monarch of the plains
crashing to earth. Drer-sod. he weigh
ed over 1.2no pounds. Nickies said.
So the three hunters are hack in
the hemes, each with enough buffalo
to assure him plenty of what h
terms the perfect Chrimas meat.
Other people can have their turl-ey
or goose or roast pig with an apple
in his month, but the three hunter?
will dine upon buffalo, as the fron
tier fathers d;d before them seven
times a week.

IMPROVE FARM MARKET ROADS
Good roads have reduced the aver
age automobile operating cost from
10 cents a mile to six and one-half
cents in the last five years, accord
ing to an authoritative report. Sav
ings are effected in gasoline and wear
and tear on tires and machinery. As
well, the good road provides greater
comfort and safety.
It has long been observed that good
roads pay for themselves many times
ever. They are not an expense, but
a dividend-returning investment.
Wider trunk roads and waterproof
surfaces on thousands of miles of sec
ondary or farm market roads is of
main importance today in any well
balanced road building program.
Alabama Demo
crats to Consider
Party Bolters
Cases of Heflin and Locke Chief in
Group Latter Is Critical
Instance.
Montgomery. Ala., Dec. 15. The
state democratic executive committee
meets here Monday to determine,
among other things, the status as
candidates, cf democrats who refused
to support the party's presidential
nominee last year, regardles of their
reasons. Ordinary voters who "bolt
ed" are to be given only passing con
sideration. Uppermost consideration was be
ing given to the cases of United
States Senator J. Thomas Heflin, who
has said he voted the democratic tick
et in its entirety with the exception
cf the presidential nominee, and
Hugh A. Locke, of Birmingham, a
candidate for governor in the demo
cratic primary of next August. Locke
was one of president Hoover's most
outspoken champions" among the
democrats of the state last year.
It was pointed out that to exclude
Heflin, Locke and others would en
able them to appeal to the electorate
as independents in the role of
martyrs.
Locke's case, in the eyes of exclu
sionists, because of the number of
candidates, presents the most crucial
test. Including Locke, there are four
formal gubernatorial candidates, the
others being Attorney General
Charles C. McCall, Lieutenant Gover
nor w. c. Davis of Jasper and Pro
bate Judge Jefferson; A. Carnley of
Coffee county. Davis and Carnley are
! for "party harmony," McCall, who
i could not be reached for an expres
! rion of his views, was strongly op
posed to Hoover and the republican
forces last November. World-Herald.
FIRE INSPECTIONS NEEDED
Many homes, far from being the
safe haven their occupants think
i them, are potential furnaces in im
i minent danger of destruction by fire.
The sense 'of danger is deadened
by living in company with the most
! obvious f.re hazards. A pile of rags
i or refuse lies unattended in a corner;
j the electrician is not called to at
tend old or faulty wiring; a poor
chimney is allowed to go uncorrected
thousands of American homes have
many such risks which could be re
moved wtih but little effort and ex
pense. As a solution to this problem, per
iodical inspections by experts are re
commenced by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters and other author
ities. The attention cf an outsider
with engineering knowledge is often
required to make a danger evident to
the home owner, and may be the
means of preventing a costly blaze.
In some cities ordinances are in
effect imposing penalties for non ob
servance of fire prevention recom
mendations. It has been proven that
such procedure bears fine fruit. In
one city, a decrease in home fires of
51 per cent was effected in seven
years, due to a campaign of inspec
tions by the safety council.
Every locality should require fire
insepctions and enforce adequate fire
laws. The general public, if wise,
will welcome such procedure, in the
knowledge that it will result in
greater security for life and property.
CHOICE DATE TO KEBASKA FAK
Lincoln, Dec. 17. A recognition
of the greatness of Nebraska's state
fair, says Secretary George Jackson,
was the fact that it got Labor day
week for its 1930 exhibition.
This date was awarded by repre
senatives of the International Asso
ciation of Fairs and Expositions,
meeting a few days ago in Chicago.
The Labor day week is one always
clamored for by expositions all over
the country.
Again an eight-day fair will be
held, opening Aug. 29 and ending
Sept. 5.
John Robinson's circus is to be
the major entertainment feature.
Harness, saddle and auto races will
be run as usual.
Mr. Jackson was selected presi
dent of the Middle West Fair circuit

irEBRASKA PLANTED HP.ST
LIVING CHRISTMAS TREE
"Feace on earth, good will to
men," the old. old Christinas carol,
sung in connection with an event
that happened some 2000 years ago.
j Yet the sentiment expressed in the
! carol goes back before that time, and
I is still th cry of the present day. Nor
' is it a seasonal cry, but one tnat is
; constantly before the public.
Feace
I and the contentment and love
that
, goes with it are the desire of most
human beings the world over.
It was some such idea as this
that Mrs. B. G. Miller of Crete had
in mind when she conceived th? plan
of planting living Christmas t: -:s,
symbolic of the spirit cf peace and
good will, as something constant and
! enduring. Under the auspices of the
! organization of the Children of the
j American Revolution, the first liv
I ing Christmas tree was planted in
; Crete on April 2o, 1923. The chil
' dren of the public schools attended
j the dedication in a body and parti
I cipated in the exercises, each child
' having his share in the planting of
i the tree. The names of over 60 3 pu-
