was coined with 420 grains of silver
instead of the standard of 412.5. The
coin had evidently lain in the ground
for many years, but was in a good
state of preservation, as those dol
lars were polished after being coin
ed and do not tarnish easily.

Chicago Re
building Burned
Stockyards
Hint of Incendiarism Refuted After
Investigation 1,000 Workers
on Job Day and Night
Chicago, May 20. An army of
workmen today began speedy recon
struction at the scene of Chicago's
big fire.
Meanwhile, City Fire Attorney T
J. Sheehan and others were carrying
on investigations in efforts to deter
mine the cause of the 10 million dol
lar blaze that swept through the
Union stockyards and environs late
yesterday and last night, consuming
more than a dozen major buildings
and scores of small business houses
and homes.
Sheehan said he was convinced
from his preliminary investigation
that the fire was accidental and not
set.
1,000 Workers on Job
No bodies were found in the de
bris. Earlier reports had been that
two persons were believed lost, and
that other bodies might be discov
ered in the ruins.
More than one thousand men
went to work cleaning up wreckage,
and rebuilding in the stockyards to
day. They worked by artificial light
tonight to rush construction so that
business at the world's largest meat
center could carry on almost as nor
mal tomorrow.
Police Prevent Looting;
The blaze started apparently in a
cattle pen at Morgan street and Ex
change avenue, inside the yards, late
Saturday. It spread quickly through
out tinder-dry pens and barns in the
yeards, and until midnight the skies
flared red.
Large police details patrolled the
desolated area to prevent looting.
Governor Henry Horner said relief
funds would be made available for
the 1,200 or more homeless.
Build Emergency Pens
Men were busy today clearing
away wreckoge and emergency pens
were built hurriedly to care for cat
tle shipments already en route.
Railroads and officials at the Union
live stock yards were quick to give
assurance that cittle, hogs and sheep
already shipped would be cared for
adequately. It was expected that
within 24 hours most of the razed
pens would be rebuilt.
About 60 per cent of the pens es
caped the fire, which zig-zagged thru
the yards, O. T. Henkle, general man
ager of the stockyards, said.
Greater part of the loss was repre
sented by razing of the Live Stock
Record building. Exchange building
that houses offices of commission
men and several packers, the Dexter
pavilion, the Live Stock National
bank and the Stock Yards inn, with
its famous Saddle and Sirloin club,
all owned by the Union Stock Yards
company.
Packingtown Saved
Packingtown itself, the vast aggre
gation of slaughtering houses, refrig
erator plants, storage houses, by-product
processing plants and major of
fice buildings of the big packers, was
saved, although for a time it appear
ed that all would be burned.
The only packing plants damaged
were those lying east of Halsted
street the P. Brennan Packing com
pany plant, a huge warehouse of the
Omaha Packing company, the Inde
pendent Packing company and the
Levi Pfelzer Packing company, all
small plants compared to the large
concerns.
Fourteen separate structures, hous
ing stores, offices and hotels on the
east side of Halstead street were eith
er destroyed or damaged badly. The
four-story Drovers National bank
building was demolished. The Live
Stock National bank its interior a
reproduction of Independence hall at
Philadelphia was damaged badly,
but its officers said they were cer
tain records were intact within the
fireproof vault, and they expected to
open for business tomorrow.

Plant Atlas Sorgo and Soy
beans for Forage Crops-
Farmers who have gecond year
sweet clover ground as contracted
acres and would like to hay or pas
ture it can change their contracted
j acres by applying at the corn-bog
office. This will mean one of the lo
cal committee looking over the new
ground and appraising it In compari
son to the sweet clover ground, as to
yield, and changes made on the indi
vidual's contract. This is the only
change that has come from Wash
ington at this time on helping the
farmers with the hay and pasture
problem as far as contracted acres
are concerned. Some are taking their
oat ground as contracted acres in
place of second year sweet clover as
they feel the oat crop will be a fail
ure anyway.
Crops That Will Make
Feed Next Winter
Under present circumstances prob
ably the best assurance the farmer in
this county can make for plenty of
hay and forage is to use some of the
Atlas sorgo is a cress between black
Atlas sorgo is across between black
amber cane and kaffir corn. It can
be drilled in with a lister at the rate
of 15 pounds per acre, cultivated a
couple of times and will make an
abundance of fodder, it has nice
green foilage, a sweet stalk and also
makes excellent silage. It can be
planted on oat ground or any other
ground on the farm as it does not vio
late the corn-hog contract. It is more
resistant to chinch bugs and hot
weather than corn.
Soybeans seeded at from one
bushel to one bushel and a peck per

an excellent hay crop, are absolutely

A total of 569 boys and girls are
if handled and cured right, will be
practically equal to alfalfa in feed
value. It probably would be well to
innoculate the seed as the crop has
not been grown much in this country.
Inquire at the Farm Bureau Office for
details concerning either crop.
Many 4-H Clubs Enrolled
A otal of 569 boys and girls are
enrolled in sixty-four 4-H clubs scat
tered throughout the county. Many
of these boys and girls have been in
club work from one to five and six
years, while a good many are making
their first entrance into the club
band. June 1st is the deadline when
all clubs must be organized. If you
are interested in club work and have
a group of at least five boys and j
girls who wish to organize get in
touch with the agents.
Attend Nineteenth
Annual Club Week
May 28 to June 2 will find Doris
Hoback, Marjorie Zink, Dale Reed,
Milford Smith and Malcolm Pollard,
Cass county 4-H'ers attending Club
Week in Lincoln with some 400 other
club members and local leaders from
the state.
Monday will be known as local
leader's day. A special program has
been planned for local leaders who
can arrange to spend only one day
in Lincoln.
Mr. George E. Farrell, Chancellor
Burnett, P. C. Taff, assistant direc
tor of extension in Iowa and others
will appear on the program. The pro
gram starts at the Agricultural Col
lege at 10 a. m. and finishes with a
program by the University 4-H Club
in the evening. All local leaders who
can attend the Monday meetings will
find it very helpful.
Sees Danger Ahead
from Codling Moth
E. H. Hoppert, state horticultural
specialist, in offering suggestions to
fruit growers, says: "The hot weath
er of the last three weeks has speed
ed up codling moth emergence. Moths
are being caught in considerable
numbers at Shubert, Nebraska City
and Lincoln. Temperatures have been
favorable for egg laying. It looks like
the beginning of the worst codling
moth season we have ever had in Ne
braska and the middle west."
The first cover spray should be
applied by May 26. Use lead arsen
ate for the codling moth. In old or
chards and in young orchards where
the infestation was heavy last year,
use 2 pounds to 50 gallons. In or
chards where there were very few
worms last year, 1 to 50.
With the' codling moth as serious
as It threatens to be this year, eup
plementary control measures are ad
visable in orchards where there was
a heavy Investatior. last year. The
chif one of these to be used at this
time cf year is banding the trunks
with chemically treated bands. First,
however, the trunks and main
branches must be scraped to remove
alt Joose bark. The bands are tacked
securely and snugly to the trunk,
using large headed tacks. The two
"inch width is satisfactory for Ne
braska. The bands should be in place
by June 1, so as to catch the worms
for the first brood after they come
out of the apples. If your regular
dealer in spray materials does not
have the bands, perhaps he can sup
ply you with the materials and you
can make them yourself, or the Shu
bert Co-operative at Shubert can sup
ply the bands. They come in rolls
about 100 feet long. The cost is ap
proximately 1.3 cents per foot.
Caution: The chemical used in
the bands irritates the skin. Use
cotton gloves when working with
treated bands.
