APPLE CROP NOT KILLED
Falls City, Xeb. A careful survey
cf Richardson county orchards Fri
day revealed that Wednesday's frost
caused only approximately 12 to
15 percent damage to the apple crop.
This was the report made Friday
afternoon by J. F. Shubert and Dearie
Baker of Shubert, prominent orchard
ists in the heart of the fruit belt
who made the check.
The damage was great in the low
lands, Baker said, but even there
will amount to only about 45 per
cent since only half the bloom was
out when the frost occurred.
The delayed blooms have appeared
within the last two days and little
damage is shown on them, he added.
"We find that 25 percent of the
bloom that was out thruout the fruit
belt at the time of the frost will be
hurt," Baker asserted. "Ideal weath
er for the bees to polenize the bloom
is prevailing now. We might find
later some blooms weakened by the
frost which we are unable to deter
mine at present. This cannot be as
certained until after the June
drouth.
"After the drouth period, we will
be able to tell exactly the extent cf
damage from the freeze and the per
cent of the crop that will be carried
thru to fall. Some of our orchards
escaped completely from the 2 4 de
gree weather."
HO SUCCESSOR TO SAND ALL
Washington. Selection of a Unit
ed States district attorney for Ne
braska was still in doubt despite the
fact that the term of C. E. Sandall.
present holder of the office, has ex
pired. It was understood that dis
agreement among democratic leaders
as to the appointee had held up the
selection. Among the names men
tioned for the post were those of
Howard Saxon and Joseph Votana,
Omaha attorneys: William Ramsey,
assistant state attorney general, and
Fred Hawxby of Auburn, now assist
ant to Sandall.

With Lives.
Victorville, Calif. Deputy Sheriff
Stanley Sneidiger shot and killed
Wanda T. Stewart and Walter H.
Wyeth, convicts who escaped from
San Quentin prison, in a gun battle
here, he reported.
Stewart and Wyeth were fleeing
north from San Bernardino, forty-
five miles south of here, where they
had an hour before released two po
licemen they had kidnaped at San
Rafael, and then held up a drug store.
San Bernardino police and sheriff's
officers were in close pursuit. Deputy
Sneidiger sought to stop them, but
the escaped convicts elected to shoot
it out and the officer killed them
both.
At San Bernardino A. M. Dewey
and Phil Lecornec, the kidnaped San
Rafael police officers, said they had
been released in the northern part
of the city with a warning to wait on
the corner ten minutes.
In the meantime residents tele
phoned police that two suspicious
appearing characters were loitering
on the corner.
The police found Dewey and Le
cornec and sounded an alarm that
sent all available officers in pursuit
of the escaped men.
Advised by telephone to watch for
the fugitives. Deputies Sneidiger, Lou
Miller, M. M. Black and Carl McXew
drove south to meet them. An auto
mobile with a red police light loom
ed ahead. The officers let it pass
arid then sped after it. As the offi
cers' car gained, the fugitives open
ed fire, which was returned by the
deputies. The officers overtook Wyeth
and Stewart and in the exchange of
bullets shot them to death. None of
the deputies was wounded.
The convicts escaped from San
Quentin penitentiary Thursday aft
ernoon. CHURCH CONFERENCE OPENS

"The Haven cf Safety"
The following verses were written
by Miss Mary J. Pool, 12, student of
the Wabash schools:
The angry, foaming sea
Beats upon the shore;
Washing o'er the lea.
It droans its sullen roar.
High on the cliffs of the beach
A lone sentinel stands;
Sending its warning glow
Over the desolate strands.
Quiet is the life of the
keeper
Of the light-house upon the
shoals;
But many are the lives
he saves
From the ocean's icj hold.
When the storm king rules
the waves.
A-nd the sky is dark and
low
Then the anxious seaman
Watches for the friendly
glow.
The tender cf the light is
well repaid.
For the faithful care of the
lamp;
For sailors and travelers
bless the light
That glows through the fog
and the damp.

Fruit Aids
Trim Figure
HOW would you like to have to
keep your wei;,ht down t
one hundr?d and ciqh:r-::i
pounds? Fruit, cither canned or
fresh, according to American Air
ways' stewardesses is an it-;,!
brer-kfast for accomplishing that
object.
Fcr tiro reasons, these modern
young women are recogr.iae-!!
authorities cn the subjects of d:;-t
and weight control. First: becauco
of the fact that their duties aro
aloft, on giant Of teen-passon r
planes on the air lines' New York-BufiVio-Detroit-Chicao
and South
ern Transcontinental routes, ar.d
they are required to maintain
their weight at or under this pre
scribed maximum of one hundred
and eighteen pounds. Seconulj :
because all of tiiem are registered
nurses, and acquired dieiew?
knowledge in the course of their
training.
Makes Dieting Esry
The stewardess shown ah-ive
thrives on a breakfast diet toil
of fruit. She says it permits h r
to indulge as she pleases at lunch
eon and dinner, without fear ;
gaining weight. For the morn.'.'sq
meal she particularly recommends
pineapple, grapefruit, pear.-,
peaches, prunes, figs or tomato
juice. In her opinion, canned
fruit is equal in nutritive valua
to fresh.
The duties of an air line stew
ardess are to answer passengers'
questions, aid them in securing
maximum pleasure from the
flight, and to serve delicious fall
course meals aloft. American Air
ways' menus, arranged by com
petent dietitians, include tomato
juice, orange; juice or steaming
bouillon; , tti iken, . dive -nut,
cheese or egg salad; baked ham,
roast beef, tongue, veal or tuikry
sandwiches; fruit salad, includ
ing canned and fresh varieties;
olives and pickles; wafers cni
cake; coHee, and mints.
