In January, Jay He Los Rising ai.d
others commenced a forcible deten
tion action against Ira Parker to en
force a forfeiture of the balance of
his term under his . lease, on the
ground that he had not paid his rent
and other breaches of covenants;
Parker defended on the ground that
Rising had damaged him by reason
of having removed certain fences
which prevented him from pastur
ing on his corn fields after gather
ing his corn. On February 19th, Mr.
Parker made application to the dis
trict court for an injunction to re
strain Mr. Rising from declaring or
enforcing a forfeiture of the balance
o his term, which expired March 1st.
On hearing in the injunction suit,
the- court entered an injunction con
ditioned upon .the plaintiff. Mr.
Parker, paying the rent, which was
due and which was not disputed.
Mr. Parker's term expired on March
1st and he surrendered the premises
according to the condition o his lease
and was not dispossessed by the
court. After the injunction was
granted, the parties settled their dis
putes. Mr. Parker receiving compen
sation on his claim for damages and
stipulations were filed to dismiss the
two suits, each party paying one half
the costs.

From Wednesday's Daily
The residents of near Seventh and
Oak street still have their full share
of flood water which is seeping Into
the cellars as well as pouring through
the concrete pavement where the
water has found escape in the points
of the paving. So far the source of
the water has been undetermined
and Is gradually growing worse as
the flow in the street was augmented
yesterday by a great many additional
streams. The water boiling up in
the streets raises several inches and
indicates that there is a great deal
of water to force out. the stream in
such a volume. The condition is very
annoying to the residents who have
for several months lived in a semi
flooded state as there has been water
in the cellars practically all of the
time and requiring pumping to pre
vent the complete flooding of the
basements.
The matter is a rear problem and
if the result of a natural waterflow
should be remedied by tiling or some
other method to carry off the water
and should have a thorough investi
gation to get at the source of the
trouble.
DIES FROM EATING WALNUTS
Tragedy crept into the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Kay Blunt In this city
Sunday when Dale, four year old
son .died as the result of eating some
frozen walnuts, and three other
hildrn were made seriously sick
as the result of the experience.
The children had -dug some wal
nuts out of the ground, a low and
damp place and the green frozen
walnuts that had not properly dried
out caused a severe attack of stomach
and bowel trouble and shortly after
their eating them, the children were
in such shape that medical aid was
summoned and Dr. TC. P. Westover
hastening to the home found the one
child dying and the three others In
very serious condition. The three
children are thought will be able
to withstand the attack but which
was fatal to the four year old boy
The death comes as a very severe
blow to the family that has suffered
many misfortunes and adds the sor
row and grief to their other troubles
It is better to have insurance and
no fire than to have a fire and no
insurance. I write for the Farmers'
Mutual of Lincoln. "There are none
better, and rates are reasonable.'

1930 Plans for 4-H Clubs.
The 1929 enrollment or 4-H clubs
In Cass county was about double
that of 1928. The county hopes to
maintain the membership of 1929,
but since finding leaders of clubs is
such a great problem, an Increase in
membership is 1930 is hardly feasible.
Two plans have been suggested
by the State Office, to help in devel
oping leaders. First all clubs are
urged to have two leaders, one of
them an adult : or local leader and
the other a member leader to act nt
an assistant.
The assistant leader may be an
outstanding boy or girl, chosen by
the club, to serve the entire club
year. Another suggestion is to ap
point one member, as assistant lead
er, each month, thus giving more
members a chance to prove their abil
ity. The main duty of the assistant
leader will be tosee that the memheis
are up to date In their club activities

1930 4-H Clubs.
At the present time Cass county
has seventeen 4-H clubs with a
membership of 189. Ten of these
were winter clubs, including four
rope, three clothing and three hot
lunch. The other seven have re
organized and have started on their
summer work. They consist of two
baby beef clubs with Paul Wolph of
Avoca and Ruel Sack of Mynard as
local leaders.
S. Ray Smith's dairy club of Weep
ing Water, reorganized with an in
crease in members. The Up-N-Cum-N
pig club with Ray Smith as leader.
has found that club work pays and
have Btarte-d on their third year's
work.
Gertrude Chrlstensen's Sunshine
canning club of Alvo has reorganized
and are considering a garden club.
thus raising what they can.
The Green Pepper's clothing club
of Avoca. with Mrs. Eleanor Norris
as leader, stated in their first news
report that they have set out to
bring in the goods.
Last but not least, the Merry Mix
er's cooking club of Union, reorgan
ized as a Keep-Well club and have
taken the name of "Peppy Preserv
ers. ,
Who will be the next to send in
their application for1 1930?
Practical Suggestions.
Practical suggestions for the closet
and bathroom is the subject for study
and discussion by the Extension pro
ject clubs during March.
Colored Corn Starch.
Corn starch nudding of several
colors can be made to please the chil
dren by following the suggestions
given below: Divide the ingredients
of the recipe into two parts. Make
one plain. To the other add choco
late or cocoa. When this has cooled
pour a small amount of the choco
late and then a small amount of the
plain alternately into a mold. Set
the molds aside to cool, turn out and
serve. If a large mold is used, slice
the pudding before serving it. A
third color may be added by dividing
the Ingredients inthree parts and
adding vegetable coloring to one
part.
The pudding would quiver and
yet be stiff enough to hold It's shape
well. It may be served plain, with
fresh fruit or canned .fruit, or in
molds as suggested above. It is a
wholesome, attractive deBsert and a
good food for children.
Rope Club Finishes.
The Splicers rope club of Weep
ing Water, and led by S. Ray Smith,
ended their course this week with a
100 per cent finish-up.
This club organized October 8th,
1929 with a membership of nine.
There meetings were held every other
week and each time they secured a
new mmbr or two until th total mem
bership was eighteen.
Forty-seven knots and spllcee were
learned at the various meetings. The
lowest number of knots tied from

Pig CroD Contest.
If enough interest is manifested.
a 4-H club pig crop contest will be
held in Nebraska this year. Definite
plans about the contest will be made
bv Paul McDill. assistant state ex
tension agent in animal husbandry.
after a survey lias been made to de
termine whether there Is enough in
terest over the state to justify hold
ng such a contest.
The same rules that apply to the
adult pig crop contest in Nebraska
will probably apply to the club con
test, if it is held this year.
Cass county boys and girls inter
ested in entering such a pig crop
contest should let County Agent I).
D. Wainscott know at once.
"We have twice as many entries
in the 1930 adult pig crop contest
now as we had at tnis time last
vear." O. O. Waggener. state exten
sion agent in animal husbandry, said
today. "Nearly fifty Nebraska farm
ers have already entered and we be
lieve the 1930 contest will be among
our most successful ones ever had."
Several local farmers have entered
the contest already and more are ex
pected. Cass county farmers must
enter before the first sow farrows
as records in pork production from
that time on are to be kept. Kr.try
blanks are now available at County
Agent D. D. Wainseott's office in
Weeping Water.
In previous years, all farmers have
been grouped into one class regard
less or the number of sows entered
in the contest for average pork pro
duction. This year two classes are
to be formed and farmers entering
six to fifteen sows will be placed in
one group and those having more
than sixteen entered will be put. in
another group.
Honor M. Chosner of Madison
county won the 1929 pig crop con
test when his six sows averaged 16G.r
pounds of pork. lie has already en
tered the 1930 contest with ten tried
sows.

If enough Cass county farmers
signify their interest, an original
rainature big team hitch layout will
be on exhibition this spring in this

to Nebraska counties by the exten
