Rabbi Goldman
Gives Address on
Russian Nation
t
Splendid Talk Given by One Who
Has Lived in the Time of the
Czars and the. Soviet - -
From Monday's Daily
Rabbi Joseph Goldman spoke to a
large crowd last night at the Meth
odist church and for over an hour
held the interest at a high tension
as he told the thrilling story of his
life and his conversion from Judaism
to Christianity. Highly educated,
having studied for twenty-five years
in the Hebrew universities of Eu
rope, a master of thirteen languages,
the author of sixteen books and with
a fund of experience that is seldom
found in the lifetime of one man,
he came well qualified to deliver his
masterly address on "Jesu3 the Jew."
He pointed out first of all that Jesus
was a Jew, never anything else. All
his disciples were Jews naU every
man who wielded a pen In the writ
ing of the New Testament was a Jew,
so after all it was tae Jew who pro
pagated Christianity and made it
possible for we of this century to
enjoy the blessing of that great
faith. Out of the eighty million
Jews in the world today eight mil
lion of them are Christian. As a
Jewish Rabbi over a congregation of
six thousand Jews he was himself
converted to Christianity through
the conduct of a young Christian
Jew whose life Impressed him pro
foundly. After becoming a Christian
he was ostracized by the Jewish peo
ple of his congregation, and bitterly
persecuted, became an outcast. This
all happened in his native land of
Russia, in which country he had
lived under the regime of three
.Czars. He witnessed the slaying of
his wife and six children, only one
son and himself escaping. He was
afterward arrested, stoned, placed
under the ice at twenty below zero,
then incarcerated in an insance asy
lum. Finally he escaped and Ced to
America as a stoker on a steamship.
His son afterward followed him and
during the war enlisted in the Unit
ed States army and was killed in ae-
tion. This left him absolutely, alone
in the world.
He has a story that is amazing
and wonderful. Four years ago he
returned to his native land to set
tle some business matters, but under
the Soviet regime he was forced
again to flee for his life. He gave a
vivid description of the conditions
under Communism in Russia. Due
to peasant labor, wheat can be raided
. and placed upon the markets of this
country at a profit at ten cents per
bushel. The five year plan of the
Soviet government Is virtually a
system of slavery for the peasants.
They are simply cogs in the great
wheel3 and are taught they do not
belong to themselves, but to the gov
ernment. As he sees it, Russia at the
present time is preparing very sys
tematically for war which he pre
dicts will occur within the next ten
years, beginning with Japan and
China and finally involving the
world. Throughout his story, how
ever, he keeps before the minds of
his listeners in a beautiful way that
the Christ who brought emancipation
and happiness to his life is the One
who can bring peace and happiness
to the world. The large audience
was delighted and the address of
this remarkable man will be long
remembered.
TWO HEN ARRESTED
From Monday's Dally
Saturday evening Deputy Sheriff
Rex. Young and Officer Libershal
were called to the northwest part of
the city where a complaint had been
received of an auto party that was
recklessly driving. The officers found
the men to be Jean Mason and Ralph
Kelly. The men were arrested and
brought on into the city and lodged
in tbe city jail. This morning Coun
ty Attorney W. G. Kieck filed a com
plaint in the. county court against
the two men charging Mason with
operating a car while intoxicated and
Kelly with being intoxicated.
After the filing of the complaint
the two men entered a plea of not
guilty, but later decided to change
the plea to one of guilty and were
accordingly given their sentences.
Mason was given thirty days in the
county jail and the loss of his driver's
license for the year. The law is now
that a driver of a car convicted of
driving while intoxicated must re
ceive the jail sentence instead of the
fine as under the old law.. Kelly or
"Whizbang" as he is known, was
fined 25 and costs for intoxication.
Both men were remanded to jail un
til Kelly can arrange the payment
.of his fine.;

Terman Farms
Nev Departure
in Hog Raising
Corporation Formed to Maintain
Large and Modern Breeding
Farm Near Murray
Cass county is fortunate In secur
ing a very up-to-date Institution
which is unique in that it is out of
tbe ordinary in the farming and stock
growing practice. The .Terman
Farms Incorporated is the initial unit
of the plan of this company in em
barking in the growing and breeding
of the celebrated Duroc Jersey hogs.
A number of men and Mrs. Sam Pit
man have associated themselves to
gether to form this incorporation,
and have located their first farm
unit on the 240 acre farm of Mrs.
Terrace Pitman, on which Irl A. War
rick has been farming for some time
past.
The Farm Equipment
The equipment will be composed
of a number of units of hog colonies,
the first unit will consist of some
eight houses, and each unit will be
26x42 feet with twelve pens, this
structure is built from Fort Dodge
vertified tile which is laid flat wise,
extending about five feet in height.
On this is the superstructure of wood
supporting the roof. Over each pen
there is a ventilator with windows
and screens with heavy wire netting.
The floor of the house Is first under
laid with six inches of gravel, on
which is placed vertified Fort Dodge
tile laid flat at an angle which
allows the drainage to flow in
to a concrete gutter at the edge of
the pens, formed by six on each side
ofa ten foot drive, where a truck
can drive through.
This Is the first of what will re
quire eight to form the first unit,
and when done will be enough to
accommodate two hundred sows,
which are capable of farrowing twice
a year and producing some four
thousand hogs twice a year, a sale
In the spring and one in the fall.
Walter Briggs will have charge of
the farm as superintendent, and will
move to the farm, the coming week.
Mr. Walter Brigs is one of-the fore
most breeders of Duroc swine in the
United . States and is known from
coast to coast as being the best in
formed man on the culture of Duroc
swine In the country. The head of
the herd will be "Illustrator." which
is the sire of thousands of swine over
the entire United States and at this
time weights slightly over 1100
pounds and stands over four feet In
height.
This is the world's champion of
this strain and has had the blue rib
bon in all shows where he has been
exhibited for the past seven years.
Strain Takes Many Ribbons
Mr. Walter Briggs has just re
turned from the Texas State fair
where the get of this boar secured
all of the fifteen ribbons, and of
which were given to Mr. Briggs with
the exception of two, those going to
his get, though owned by other par
ties. Arrangement of nooses
The unit houses will be so ar
ranged that they will have access
to pastures which will be In twice
the number of the houses and each
pasture will be used one year, and
put to grasses of different kinds the
alternate year, which will assist in
the obliteration of any liability of al
lowing infestious disease.
The entire herd will be doubly
innoculated which will be a guar
antee of there being no opportunity
to contract any hog ailments. Every
scientific mode of treatment and care
will be used.) Every pen will be
washed with the hose 'during the
year when the weather Is not severe
ly cold, and as the draining facilities
will be the best there will be left
no liability for infection.
The Feeding Schedule
Every care will be taken to have
and to keep the hogs' health and
their dally ration besides the pas
ture will be corn, tankage and alfl
fa of which they will use immense
quantities and the growing of four
thousand hogs every six months will
require a lot of each of the three
kinds of feed. This will produce it
self a large market for corn and al
falfa, which must be produced in'
this locality. The tankage, which is
a commercial feed, will of course be
gotten elsewhere. Mr. Briggs will
require the assistance of a number
of workmen to care for the herd.
Only the Prime Used
Of this four thousand hogs but a
limited amount will be offered for
sale as breeding stock, as probably
eighty per cent of the herd and may
be more, will be disposed of at the
markets and not sold for breeding
purposes. A very critical examin
ation will be kept for the selection
of only those which pass the most
severe tests.
There is but one house now com
pleted but it is hoped there will be
three more completed by the first of
the year, and the remainder of the
first unit of eight will be complete
by early spring. The extra fine herd
of Mr. Walter Briggs will be used
as the nucleus for the entire herd'
but new blood will be injected all
the time that the strain may be kept
the very best.
Mr. Brisks A Veteran Breeder.
Twenty-five :years ago, Walter
Briggs then a lad of eight years, first
entered the breeding ' business as
pig club 'boy and has for the past
quarter of a century made the breed
ing of fine . pair bred Duroc swine
his business ail has given his en
tire study to tlis particular strain
and has sue peeled beyond expecta
tion and is considered the foremost
breeder as well las the one best ac
quainted with this strain of swine
The need of the Herd
"Illustrator," ! tbe . head of the
strain and the World's champion, has
left his impress on most of the
Durocs of the- jcountry and which
with the mosfcreful breeding dur
ing the years r pceeding his farrow
ing, has works, (to make of this in
dividual the r ty foremost hog in
the world. ... J
The object a?; this farm Is to pro
duce both gilts and boars for the
breeders of the cii tire Union and with
the very critical selection of only the
very best and tae. sales two times a
year will permit all wno want the
very best to tale advantage of the
opportunity tot secure what they
shall desire In this line of swine.
The- Terman -Farms Incorporated
ask all who are interested in any
way in the breeding and growing of
hegs of any strain and especially of
Durocs, to visit the farm and observe
with what care every detail is taken
to insure tbe beat and onTy the test
of the thousands! which are farrowed
and grown on the farms.

From Tuesday's Dally
"The board of county commission
ers opened their regular November
session at the court house today. The
Session this morning was largely de
voted to the consideration of claims
filed for the operating cost of the
county for the past month..
Athletics are
Losers to Army;
Score is 12 to 6
Barring the First Moments of Play
the Plattsmouth Team Shows
Great Form.
The football team of the Fort
Crook soldiers, taking advantage of
a large and driving team in the first
moments of their game with the local
Athletics, swept over the Plattsmouth
goal for two touchdowns, the only
scores that they were to acquire in
the battle, but enough to give them a
12 to 6 victory.
The Athletics were unfortunate
that a number of their players were
late in arriving at the park and the
doughboys were able to get away
with scoring until the local line was
strengthened.
The game was a field day for Chet
Renner, local guard, whose tackling
featured the contest and took many
of the soldier's best men out of the
play during the last part of the
game. George Stoll and Charles Ful
ton on the line also were large fac
tors in the local resistance. Chet
Wiles. Richard Herold and Hubert
Dew, from the backfield served as
the chief ball carriers.
In the opening of the game Platts
mouth kicked off to Fort Crook, who
muffed the catch. Plattsmouth re
covering, and on a try of the soldier
line, Herold secured two yards, the
locals were held and forced to kick,
the ball received by Fort Crook was
fumbled and Fulton recovered for
Plattsmouth, but attempts to advance
were checked by the soldiers.
The soldiers made their first touch
down on a succession of line smashes
and around the end plays, making a
steady march to the Plattsmouth
goal line where a line smash carried
the ball over but the try for point
was not good.
The second scoring of the Fort
team came a few moments following
the first. The soldiers kicked to
Plattsmouth. "Pud" Herold in at
tempting a play was tacked back of
the line for a loss. Tbe Athletics, re
sorting to an air attack, started a
pass; that instead of being' received
by their , players .was grabbed-out of
the air by a doughboy and - he. was
around the end of the local line, for
a touchdown and making the score
12 to 0, the try for point not being
good.'"
With the game in the last half the
Athletics showed some excellent work
on their offensive and were threaten
ing the soldiers at all stages of the
game, but in the critical situations
were unable-to carry over the ball
In the last quarter of the game
the Athletics made a strong bid for
victory and scored their first touch
down. - Starting from .their own
thirty yard line the Athletics opened
a smashing attack that brought the
ball to the enemy territory and from
where they were able to score. A
beautiful pass from Rich Herold ' to
Chet Wiles brought the ball to the
Fort Crook five yard line, from
where Wiles plunged for three add!
tional yards. From the two yard line
Hubert Dew carried the ball over for
the coveted tally. The try for point
was not good.
The soldiers brought with them
three complete teams and this reserve
force was badly needed as the play
ers suffered a large number of in
juries in the drives against the
Plattsmouth line.
