QUIET ON THE FRONT
From Tuesday's Daily
The local Farm Holiday situation
has been quiet Bince Sunday, there
being but little activity displayed In
the picketing of the highway and the
Platte river bridge. A rumor was
spread during the day that the high
way would be closed by the pickets
to all trucks of stock, grain and
milk, causing a general rush of the
truckers to Omaha before the zero
hour of 5 o'clock. The' stopping of
traffic, however, failed to materialize
and " the traffic was g"o:ng on as
usual Monday night and with ilo
guards on the highway.
Sheriff Ed W. Thimgan, acting at
the requsst of thT state sheriff, had
a force of some twenty deputies
sworn In to act in keeping the roads
open, but their services were not
needed last night.
The Louisville bridge had several
pickets on Sunday and who had also
given out that there would be a
blockade of traffic o nMonday night,
but this too, failed to develop, and
last evening that bridge, on highway
Xo. 50, was free of all pickets. -
There has been little complaint of
any restraint ,of travel on the Ne
braska roads, the pickets, who are
largely from Iowa, evidently await
ing meetings which will be held to
enlist the Nebraska farmers into the
holiday movement if it is possible.
Here for years Mr. and Mrs. Phillip
Cook made their home, and they,
with their children and grandchil
dren were present Sunday for the re
union.
The hearts of the family were sad
dened this year again by the death
of the eldest brother, J. D. Cook, of
Ord. which breaks another link of
the family chain. All of the remain
ing brothers and sisters of the fam
ily were able to attend, being Phillip
Cook of Hadar, Nebraska, Mrs. W. D.
Wheeler, Plattsmouth. Mrs. T. W.
Vallery, and Mrs. S. O. Cole, My
nard, John F. Cook, Beaver City,
C. E. Cook, and J. II. Cook of Platts- j
mjouth.
The main feature of the day was
the dinner which found the members ,
of the family group .gathered around
the table loaded with all of the good
things to eat. V
The business meeting was held -at j
3:30 in the afternoon and presided!

THOSE TIRE TESTERS put your old headline hunter on the spot. That car on Safety Silvertowns went around that

HELLO EVERYBODY
Floyd Gibbons speaking. I've
just seen a most wonderful demon
stration of progress.
I think it is BIG news, and 111 tell
you why: 34,400 were killed in auto
mobile accidents in this country last
year.
Almost a miUum 997,600 were injured.
These figures overwhelm me. What do you
think? If a way has been found to make tires
that will prevent some of these tragedies
isn't that BIG news?
I leave it to you.
I stopped at the Goodrich plant In Akron.
I heard they were making a safer tire the
safest tire ever built. They call it the
SAFETY Silvertown.
They convinced me. They showed me a
test that was a sock-dologer.
These Goodrich tire testers put your old
headline hunter on the spot. That spot was
right in the middle of m street intersection.
And the street was wet.
They drove, a car with these new safety
tires on it drove it straight at me at the
speed of 42 miles an hour.
lust nefore If reached me, going at that
speed, ihe driver turned suddenly. Just
missed me by inches.
They said it wouldn't skid. I had to believe
them. It did not skid. But, boy, what a test!
I asked them if they were testing Goodrich
or Gibbons.
That car on Safety 8iiveitowns went
around that sharp corner at 42 miles an
hoar. Not a carve a mharp corner
sharper than a right angle. But those tires
clutched that wet, asphalt surface like they
were running; in a groove.
THEY DIDN'T SKID AN INCH.
II they had skidded well, some other
boy'd be writing this copy insteaU of me.
When I got my breath back, I wanted
to know how such a tire could be made. I
mean, I wanted to see the works.
They showed me a plant so big I wore my
legs out and only hit the high spots.
One place, I stood in a shaft eight or ten
stories high, and watched them drop a heavy.
wicked-looking metal prong like a guil
lotine on an inflated tire. Forty fifty
sixty feet thcyjdropped it. Then, at 75 feet,
the tire gave way. It didn't burst the air
came out like a sigh.
That's one way they find out whether their
tires are safe against blow-outs.
I saw them place a tire in a chamber rein
forced like a prison cell, and blow it up to 200
pounds pressure before it burst.
Test, test improve, improve I That's
what it's all about. They're at it 24 hours
a day. Trying to find weak spots in tires
that are already tougher than the Gas
House Gang. That's how they prove It's
the safest tire ever built !
They told me these Safety Silvertowns sell
for the price of any standard tire. Not a cent
more.
With thousands smashed up or killed in
skidding accidents every year, I'm willing
to pay something extra to save my neck.
Maybe they're makicg it too easy for us.
I'M FOR THIS LEAGUE,
TOO! Here's something: Th
Silvertown Safety League. It
give me driving rules to follow
for safety. It gives me aa
emblem for my car. I joined
up! Any Goodrich dealer wIU
enroll you. they tell me. No
cost.

spring. Requests for the manual
have been piling up since that time.
The manual takes up practically
every problem of hog raising. The
statements in it are based upon the

cases reference is made to experi

states.
Womens Project Club Work
The first fall meeting Of the pro
ject clubs Is to be held the first week
in October. Five hundred and fifty
women already belong to 34 clubs
which have elected and reported their
project leaders to the Farm Bureau
office. Other groups of women may
form their , organizations and elect
leaders between now and September
28th;
: The September, lesson is about fix
ing up and making over clothing.
One of the first suggestions of the
lesson is that each homemaker take
stock of what her family has on hind
that might be Improved or re-made.
Project leaders may bring garments
to the September meeting if they
want suggestions from the ether
leaders.
Other lessons this season will be
about inexpensive Christmas plans
and gifts, home nursing, taking care
of the summer meat supply, the use
of dairy and poultry products, and
home baking. All the clubs in the
state, totaling a membership of more
than 15,000, are taking the same
series of lessons in the emergency
project called "Live At Home."
Women who belonged to project
clubs last spring had two emergency
lessons, one about gardens and the
other about canning.
Trench Silos Satisfactory
About twenty Cass County farmers
built trench silos last year from
which to feed their livestock and all
of the men are enthusiastic about
the results they had. Several of them
are so pleased with the results that
they are now making them of con

Hessian Fly this fall will have to disk
up or distroy their wheat between
now and the first part of September,
the entomologists say. If the wheat
is destroyed the maggots which hatch
out of the eggs will starve to death
and not be able to infest the wheat
that Is sown during the latter part
of September. Allowing: the volun
teer wheat to grow not only estab
lishes a menace on the farm where
it is growing, but also in the neigh
borhood because the Hessian Fly will
spread to nearby fields.

Hessian Flies Lay Eggs Now
Hessian Flies have already start
ed laying eggs on volunteer wheat
in Lancaster county. O. S. Bare of
the Nebraska Agricultural Extension
Service and F. D. Butcher of the U
S. Dept. of Agriculture found the fly
eggs on volunteer wheat near Ray
mond this week.
Warm weather following the rains
of a few days ago brought the flies
out of the flax seeds unusually early
and started them to laying eggs. Bare
explains. The rain which fell in Lin
coln Thursday morning, if followed
by warm weather, will bring out
another heavy emergence of the flies
which will lay their eggs within a
day or two after they come out of
the flax seed.

Oppose Dry Re
peal in Kansas
Platforms Says That Their Stand
on "State Tradition" Is
Unchanged.
Topeka, Kans., Aug. 30. Declar
ations against prohibition repeal
were written into the democratic and
republican state platforms at the
meetings of the Kansas party coun
cils here today.
Governor Harry H. Woodring,
nominee for re-election and a sup
porter of the presidential candidacy
of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
read the democratic platform, which
was adopted with this prohibition
plan:
"We reaffirm our adherence to the
traditional Kansas policy of prohi
bition. We will oppose all attempts
to weaken this law, and pledge the
strict enforcement of this and all
other laws."
The republican prohibition plank
echoed the stand of Vice-President
Charles Curtis, who voiced his op
position to lepeal in his recent ac
ceptance address here. It reads:
"The republican party of Kansas
adheres to its established policy of
strict and impartial law enforcement
and prohibition of the liquor traf
fic. We are opposed to the repeal of
the Eighteenth amendment.
The republicans endorsed the Hoover-Curtis
administration.
In touching on agriculture the re
publican platform recommended "any
practicable legislation to help eecuro
an American price for American
agriculture." The democratic plank
demands "removal of the high tar
iff barriers which have destroyed the
foreign markets for our agricultural
products" and "an effective market
ing policy providing for disposition
of crop turpluses without depress
ing the domestic market to the world
price level." World-Herald.
