tetrachloride. Wipe off any excess li
quid and let the rest evaporate.
Spots which may be removed with
water may be treated by wringing a
cloth dry and sponging. Repeat the
treatment but do not soak the fabric.
Test for color fastness by sponging a
hidden portion with a white cloth
before removing the spot.
Leather covering dries out easily
and may be rubbed with castor oil to
restore it. Bub it well into the leather
and wipe off any excess.
Water spots on velours or mohairs

ly pass a warm iron over it. Ee care

Suggestions About Cleaning
Upholstery.
When cleaning upholstered furni
ture, remember that there is a. pad
ding or filling under the upholstery
which, if wet or water-soaked, wiS
be difficult to dry thoroly and it may
become musty. It is best not to use
strong chemicals as they can. not be
rinsed out well enough to insure
against damage. Grease spots may
be removed by sponging with carbon
Seedling Trees Still Available.
Many people ask what per cent of
those seedling trees will live. This
could v.cll be answered by two men
that called at the Farm Bureau of
fice last week. Ernest Pankonin of
Manley reported he ordered 100 Rus
sian Olive last year and all of them
are living and doing nicely. Wm.
Brandt of Nehawka, reports that 180
of the 200 Austrian Pineare living
and made a good growth.
Under decent conditions 85 of
these trees should livo and grow.

Production Costs on Corn
25c per Bushel
A summary of the records kept by
twenty-five Cass county farmers on
the costs of producing corn show that
the average cost per bushel was 25c.
One farmer produced 230 acres of
corn at a cost of 15c per bushel while
another produced 72 acres at a cost
of 45c per bushel.
The charges made in the records
included man and horse labor for
manuring, stalk cutting, discing,
plowing, harrowing, planting, listing,
cultivating, weed cutting and husk
ing. Man labor was charged at 20c
per hour and horse labor at 9c per
hour. Where tractors were used
Cjhyges were made on the fuel con
sumption plus depreciation basis.
Don't send your money away if
you want to see real prosperity in
Cass county. Piattsmouth is the
logical "big town" shopping point
for every resident of the county.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 21. A puzzled
judiciary committee of the house of
representatives today conducted pub
lic hearings on Governor Eryan's
moratorium bill, wondered what to
do about the farm mortgage situa
tion, and decided nothing.
Speaking against the moratorium
was W. E. Barkley, veteran Lincoln
banker, now president of the Joint
Stock Land bank here. Speaking for
the moratorium was F. C. Crocker,
assistant secretary of the Nebraska
Farmers' Holiday association and
state manager of the Farmers Mu
tual Life Insurance company of Des
Moines Milo Reno's company.
"I'm afraid this bill would result
in more foreclosures, because many
creditors would want to put the
court in charge of their collections,"
said Mr. Barkley.
Half Borrowers Delinquent.
"I admit I don't know what to do
about this situation. I'm open to
conviction. I know that 55 per cent
of our borrowers are delinquent now.
I know 100 per cent of them will be
if these prices continue. And I know
in that case we'll be bankrupt. But
we don't know how to run our own
business these days."
"What can this legislature do to
meet the situation?" asked Represen
tative E. J. Dugan of Omaha.
"I don't know," said Barkley. "To
my mind the only answer is inba
tion, and that can't be done locally.
We're trying to carry all our borrow
ers now. We are giving them two
years' time if they will give us the
landlords' share cf their crops. We
are paying our borrowers twice the
market price for the crops they apply
on their loans, in order to let them
make payments. One of our borrow
ers told us he couldn't get more than
II cents for his corn. We paid him

Effect on Credit Asked.
Crocker, who Baid he had been a
farmer for 52 years before joining
Reno's insurance organization, said
he had been in close contact with
farmers during recent months, and
told the committee he feared for
the future if the moratorium is re
fused. "I tell you, gentlemen, I know the
temper of the people," he said. "I
wouldn't want to guarantee peace
ful procedure in Nebraska if these
foreclosures continue."
Under questioning he advanced the
bqlief that some financial institu
tions are trying to acquire title to
properties on which they hold mort
gages, in the belief that inflation
would soon restore fair values.
TV. R. Johnson, republican floor
leader, proposed an amendment pro
viding that cases now under fore
closure, in which the original owner
is occupying the premises during a
nine months stay of execution,
should be included in the bill. At
present it applies only to cases in
which no decree has been entered.
The committee decdied to consider
the amendment Wednesday.
Representative W. II. O'Gara of
Laurel raised the question of how
the bill would affect the future credit
of the etate. World-Herald.
GATHERED IN THE WOOD
From Monday's T)ally
Yesterday was another one of those
"busy days" at the Legion woodyard,
southwest of town, with more than a
score of workmen out. The day was
Ideal for such work and a lot of pro
gress was made. The workers were
provided with a hot mulligan stew at
the noon hour by Comrade James
Farnhain, to which they did ample
justice.
One important detail of the day's
work was the trucking of a large
quantity of the wood to town for dis
tribution among the workers, dis
abled and widows of deceased veter
ans, as well as a supply placed In the
bins at the Legion building.
Ray McMaken, who has responded
to innumerable calls for being of as
sistance In Legion activities in the
past and is one of the organization's
most loyal supporters was out with
one of his largest trucks and made
three trips in during the day with
great quantities of wood which were
distributed about town, with Legion
members aiding in the loading and
unloading.
Bernard Rakow was also out with
his light truck and made four trips
to add considerable to the amount
brought in during the day.
There is estimated to be enough
timber on the tract purchased by the
Legion to supply wood for all ex-ser-vice
men willing to chop the same,
not only the rest of this year, but
the greater part of next fall and win
ter as well.

HEEEUIG FOR REPEAL VOTE
Des Moines. Governor Herring
announced he will ask the Iowa legis
lature within the present week" to
submit for an immediate popular
vote in Iowa the proposal to repeal
