looking after some business matters
The Union filling station has erect
ed a very pretty sign calling atten
tion to the station against the wall
of the Ira Clarke restaurant and
which makes a very fine sign.
W. II. Mark was a visitor in Omaha
on last Monday driving over to the
big town in his car going to consult
a specialist regarding his health only
to find that the doctor had gone on
his vacation.
Little Deede and Punk Nickles

visiting at Uncle Frank Baucrs are
at this time having a siege with the
whooping cough but are getting alon
nicely.
R. D. Stine has a new sign em
bellishing his store front, which sure
looks good and new and neat, and
we are sure that Mr. Stine also has
goods within and a determination to
treat every one the very best who
conies to visit his place of business.
County Commissioner C. F. Har
ris and son, Stirling, were over to
Lincoln on last Monday where they
went to have a clinic given to Stirl
ing who has not been in the test of
health for some time and as they
were desiring to know his condition
and ailment they thought best to
have the clinic, and will return the
latter portion of this week for a
. decisive answer.
. Ira Clarke, chairman of the pub
licity committee of the Old Settlers
Association, was out in Otoe county
early this week posting advertising
telling of the picnic which is to oc
cur on Friday and Saturday, August
22nd and 23rd. and for which great
preparations have been made. Be
sure and be at the picnic which is the
42nd since the organization and since
the first picnic was held here.
Albert A. Stock who some sixteen
years ago' worked for J. L. Niday
on the farm but who has been away
since arrived in Union on last Tues
day from their home in Texas, accom
panied by Mrs. Stock and were visit
ing with Mr. and Mrs. George Mar
tin. Mr. Stock says that their corn
is ripe, has been gathered and a
portion of it marketed before he
started norjlh which was a few days
since.
Ray Cross and family of Arriba,
Colorado, arrived in Union a few
days Union afv days ago driving
and will visit here for some time re
maining until after the Old Stttkr.;
picnic which occurrs next week.
Speaking of the crops in either sec

they were good and that they had
not suffered from dry hot weather
and that everything is now looking
nice there.
Joseph Wood of Carpenter, Indiana,
a cousin of W. II. Mark who it will
be remembered visited here some
three years ago at the home of Mr
and Mrs. Mark, died last week of
heart disease, and at the time a tele
gram was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Mark
announcing the death, but as they
were both in poor health at the time,
it was not possible for them to at
tend the funeral. Many people of
Union and vicinity will recall Mr.
Wood and his visits here.
E. B. Chapman, who is the candi
date on the democratic ticket for the
position of County Commissioner for
the Second district was a visitor in
Plattsmouth one day last week and
while there called at the Journal
office and visited with the force there
for a time, impressing them of his
especial fitness for the position for
which he aspires. Mr. Chapman has
been a life long democrat, and an ex
cellent citizen of Liberty precinct,
and we are sure that should he be
ele cted he will make one of the very
best commissioners the county has
ever had.
last Saturday night a very fine series
of plays was gladly received by the
people of Union, though on account of
the intense heat and other things
the attendance was not as large as
was desired and not enough to make
the guarantors come out safe.
Just what will be done about hav
ing a chautauqua again is in doubt
but the matter will soon be settled
and all will know. No contract has
as yet been made. A wind one even
ing bent the center pole and collapsed
the tent, creating a flurry but not
harming anyone.
Will Institute Golf Course.
This will be a miniature and will
be on the Becker lots between the
Fitzpatrick cafe and the empty build
ing on the corner. The course is be
ing built by Messrs Joseph Bauer
nd Florence II. McCarthey. They
are working on the materials which
is to be used and will endeavor to
have it ready for playing in a short
time. It will be under the shade of
the trees and will be made one of
the very best and most attractive.
There will not be the opportunity
to perfect the course as they desire
this fall but with the returning of
spring they will beautify the place
and make it iudeed an ideal spot.

cannot function alone in successfully
combatting criminals, Donald S.
Leonard, Detroit, a lieutenant of the
Michigan state police, told delegates
to the thirty-seventh anrrrnl conven
tion of the police chiefs here on
Aug. 5.
The state, and the stae alone,
should be the main unit around
which the law-enforcement machin
ery should be constructed, he held.
The difficulties of the smaller cities,
he said, to equip themselves for law
enforcement and combatting crime,
and even the larger city's difficulties
in this field, are criterions of the
need of state police.
Miss Sarah V. Dunn, Harrison, N.
J., atorney, only woman to address
the 400 police chiefs of two na
tions, declared that the influx cf
women into protesional and business
life, even though they be mothers, is
a great factor in contributing to Ju
venile delinquency. She Faid that
when women neglect their hornet
and children to pursue a business
career, they are endangering the wel
fare of their children, because the
proper influence in their upbringing
is lucking.
Reliable and accurate criminal sta
tistics will never be provided to cen
tral agencies without the assistance
of individual police departments, ac
cording to a paper prepared by Rruce
Smith, director of the National In
stitute of Public Administration, New
York City, and read in his absence
by Capt. John A. Lyddy of Dridge
port, Conn., assistant secretary of
the association.
Mr. Smith, in his papv-r, said:
"The real responsibility rests with
the polite, because they can never
be more accurate than each depart
ment's record. It is up to each po
lice department to make the records
of the crime uniform."
As far back as 1871, his paper
paid, when the first police conference
in this country was held, the work of
gathering uniform statistics was be
gun, but because of varying classi
fications of crime in different states
and lapses the work has just really
ebgun to bear results during the
last six or seven years. His paper
urged that departments keep accur
ate, written records of all police work
and supply copies to the National
Committee on Crime Statistics of the
Police Chiefs Association to aid it
in gathering the proper and auth
entic statistics demanded.

and weed seed identification contest.
Thirty specimens of common weeds

n to the Farm Bureau office.
Trench Silo for Emergency Use.
A trench silo offers about the only
chance for winter feed on some Ne
braska farms where the corn is too
far gone to make a crop. The most
satisfactory dimensions for the trench
are eight feet deep by ten feet wide
by as long as necessary to hold the
tonnage available. Since the silago is
fed off the end of the pile, the farmer
should figure on how much stock he
will winter on it and dig the trench
narrow and shallow enough to pre
vent spoilage. For example 6 milk
cows and 10 stock cows will eat about
40 pounds per day and use the sil
age from an eight by ten foot trench
without spoilage.
A trench of this size will hold
about a ton of packed silage per foot
of length. A fence should be built
around the top of the trench and the
silage packed in to the top of the
fence. When the silage settles it will
be about level with the ground. Clay
soils will stand up fairly well for one
season but some crumbling of the
walls is bound to occur, the following
is added. No permanent floor or cov
er is necessary for a temporary
trench. The silage may be covered
with straw to prevent spoilage. Ex
tension circular 713, available at of
fices of county agents and the agri
cultural college in Lincon gives many
more details about the construction.
filling and use of trench silos and
silage.
Chicago E. W. Sheets of Wash
ington, chief of animal husbandry,
United States department of agricul
ture, said Monday that the drouth
has put so much livestock on the
market that the American dollar buys! Vrfl
more meat now than at any , time in 1
the last twelve years. I
in making the statement Sheets
was summing up the first day's find
ings of the annual conference of
twenty-five state agricultural experi
mental stations, the United States de
partment of agriculture, the Amer
ican Institute of Meat Packers and
the National Livestock Meat board
Sheets declared that the price of
meat to retail trade is coming down.
He said that the farmer is getting 36
per cent less for his meat this year
than last. For 35 cents today the
housewife can get a steak for which
she paid 55 cents last year, he said.
The last strong hold against lower
ing meat prices is the restaurants, he
said, but predicted that shortly they,
too, would cut their charges on meats.
In Sheet's opinion, however, the low
ered price of meats is only temporary.
0RD CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
Ord In answer to Secretary
Hyde's inquiry about local drouth
conditions, County Agent Dale re
plied Monday that recent rains gave
Valley county prospects for 80 per
cent of a corn crop. Dale said the
small grain arid forage crops were
near normal. Conditions as a whole
here are near normal and corn needs
but little rain now to assure a crop.
Mr. Dale said there is enough feed to
carry through the winter.

Des Moines. Ia., Aug. 12. A world

tional guard.

ceived orders carrying him some dis
tance down the line.
"Bring along my pack there," he
shouted over his shoulder to what
he thought was a private, and they
set out.
Three miles down the line, Ilun-
ner Whitemore turned to get some
thing from his pack. Holding out
the pack to him was General Mac
Arthur, then commanding the Eighty-fourth
