Mr. Latta would like to get a hold of the thief for just about five minutes which would be suffici ent as he is feeling rather incensed at the theft. which he used for lifting the lister out of the ground and while Mr. Til son was removing the broken parts to get the lister repaired the lever flew back, striking him in the face, breaking the cheek bone on the lift side of his face. Dr. J. F. Brendel hastened with him to Plattsmouth where an X-ray was taken, showing the fracture of the bone, and as it would take an incision to get at the injured part it was thought best to allow the bone to heal without an operation.

Governor IMnchot of Penn sylvania and Governor Ritchie of Maryland, upset the program of the annual governors conference here with attacks on prohibition and pub lic utilities. The Pennsylvanian dis carded the subject of reforestation assigned to him and instead launch ed into an address charging that the electric power interests are "milking the public," thru yearly overcharges estimated at half a million dollars. Governor Ritchie said if the pro hibition question was turned back to the states the resultant system of excise taxes might do away alto gether with federal income taxes and "at one stroke relieve capital, labor and agriculture from the tax burdens which rest so heavily upon them." The Marylander got in a few words also about economic conditions. "You cannot have from five to eight million people wanting to work and unable to get it without knowing that this constitutes a challenge to our social order and that it is the strongest argument for communism unless it is solved." he said. Remarks are Surprise. Governor Ritchie's remarks were a surprise to the score of state execu tives attending the conference inas much as a program arranged by the executive committee had purposely excluded controversial subjects. Governor Ritchie supported Gov ernor Pinchot's departure from the subject assigned to him. "Is there any imaginative reason why he should not have spoken on public utilities?" asked Governor Ritchie. "This is something which has he come a vital issue n a great many of the states and what could be more approprate than for the governors to discuss it when their people are so vitally interested in it." In his attack on the utilities Gov ernor Pnchot said that huge electric utility systems have grown up thru consolidations until "about 90 per ( ent of the total electric power gen erated in the United States is under the domination and control of four major interests." These interests, he added, "work together harmoniously under a common policy and toward a common end which Is th milking of the public." State Journal.

Winter wheat and alfalfa has been injured In the Nebraska panhandle, some southwestern counties and a small area in south central Nebras ka, according to A. B. Anderson, statistician, who has just returned from a 1.100 mile field inspection trip. The damage was due to an unusual combination of unfavorable circumstances. Anderson says: "What appeared to be the finest prospects for wheat tlat the pan handle counties of western Nebraska have ever had was blighted by an unusual combination Of adverse con ditions. Moisture conditions last fall and winter were ideal. As a result, the stand was exceptionally heavy, probably two or three times the usual stand and owing to the heavy mois ture Wheat was shallow rooted. Dur ing the past two months precipita tion was abnormally light. Temper atures dropped to 18 degrees above zero at Sidney and to 1 4 degrees ac cording to some private reports. This was followed by a high temperature and several days of high winds. A worse combination of adverse condi tions would be next to impossible. With the shallow root system, the exceptionally heavy stand and growth, the dry top soil and freez ing temperatures followed by high winds, wheat was subjected to a very unusual condition. In fact, no one had heretofore experienced such a combination of adverse conditions. "Examination of the wheat plants in the field and by experts at the agricultural college revealed that were killed. It is Impossible to state whether this resulted from dry wea ther or from the freeze, or both, since there has been no previous experi ence by which to judge. However, it is believed that a sufficient number of stools are uninjured to produce a fair crop under favorable conditions, except for areas of heaviest injury. "Alfalfa was Injured badly. Part of the field are completely brown and smell !'ke cured hay. Other fields were partly killed and again others were left, untouched except for minor discoloration of leaves. Farmers are unable to cut the in jured fields because the alfalfa gun. up the sickle. "Spring grain crops were appar ently uninjured. Soil conditions, are very favorable for corn as there is a good reserve of moisture in the subsoil. Conditions of wheat in a few counties of southwestern Nebras ka were quite similar, also a small section in south central Nebraska. The latter apparently is the result of dry weather and not the freeze. There was some injury to alfalfa thruout most of southwestern Ne braska, but as a rule it was slight. "Some farmers were plowing up their wheat and planning to sum mer fallow it in areas of greatest injury. Of the territory traversed, that section between f'happell and Big Springs seemed to be the worst. In some localities, the wheat looks good. Winter wheat that was stub bled in, seemed to be in the worst condition. Summer fallow wheat was in fair condition, but even some of that was injured. One farmer in the North Platte Valley was mowing his wheat. "Rains fell over the greater part of this territory and in some places it was quite heavy, ranging to very light in other places. Except for the areas of grea'est Injury, there is enough Uninjured wheat stools to mrke a fair crop providing sufficient moisture is received. However, a part of it could only make a very light crop under the more favorable conditions especially where the head is killed in the boot and where fur ther injury evident." from dry weather was GOVERNOR DEFENDS STATE TO PLAY RAIL SUNDAY Chet Smith, the Connie Mack of the Rock Bluff Coyotes announces that his team that defeated the Ly-man-Richey Gravelers. vail play Floyd Becker's All Stars on Sunday afternoon at the Herman Graham farm west of the city. FOR SALE Los Angeles Nevada may be prostituting its Statehood In the eyes of the general as.-i ::ibly of the Pres byterian church of the V. S. A.. Gov ernor Fred B. Balzar. said here but the "thirty pieces t silver" the state receives for "pandering to weakness" are enlarging a BomewhSt depleted state reserve. The governor was here for a "native son" ceremonial. Governor Balzar 's statements were made in reply to the general assem bly, which in Pittsburgh, agreed with reports of its commission on marriage and divorce and charted Nevada with "prostituting its state hood and pandering to .weakness for thirty pieces of silver." "Nevada has as many home lov ing, God fearing, church going peo ple as anywhere in the United States," Governor Balzar said. "We shall run the state of Nevada as we (state officials) think best."
