About $200,000 of state gasoline
tax money will be added to $1,000,
000 of the federal money to complete
the projects announced Wednesday.
In a formal statement, the gover
nor said "we have used particular
care to connect up the home-to-maiket
roads with the federal high
ways so that both the country roads
and the federal highways can be used
;o the fullest extent to get crops to
markets in all hinds of weather."
The gasoline tax money will be
available next spring, he said, when
the projects are nearing completion
end final payments are required.
"We have given special attention
to supplying work thru this feeder
road system in the proximity of large
numbers of unemployed in the cities
such as Omaha," he said. "This pro
vides fcr the completion of the ex
treme west end of the Dodge street
road in Omaha together with the
middle section included in the high
way program announced last week.
"If later we can find that funds
are available to extend this program
!t is our intention to include every
read development possible."

Primary Election August 14th
Yonr Support Appreciated!
Fred Bossie was over to Crab Or
chard cue day last week, where he
went to visit at the home of Fred
Neben, who formerly resided here.
Henry H. Gerbeling was getting
eight bushels per acre from his sweet
clover, field, but has only seven or
eight acres. Still this is worth while.
The home of Elmer Colbert was
made happy on last Thursday by
the arrival of a very fine blue eyed
baby girl which came to bless the
home and the parents.
Threshing of small grain is done
in Cass county, the yields being very
iight. There is some sweet clover to
be threshed yet, but the return from
this will also be very light. With
the corn crop withering from lack of
rain, prospects are for the smallest
crop in years.
John Woods well is dry and he
has been working on a sand bucket
to sink it some deeper, hoping there
by to secure more water for the pres
ent when the need is great. This dry
weather is testing many of the well3,
some cf which stand the test, but
many of which do not.
Bernard G. Wurl, of Plattsmouth,
democratic candidate for county
clerk, was a visitor in town during
the past week. Formerly a cigar man
ufacturer in Plattsmouth, he often
made this town in the olden days
looking after the sale of his good3,
and is well known to quite a few peo
ple here.
At Wabash on the banks of the
Weeping Water, the hospitable little
town was meeting and greeting a
large number of candidates during
tlit past few days, they coming from
all parts of the county as well as
from different parts of the state all
of them anxious to lay their claims
before the voters.
Messrs Robert, Lloyd and Harold
Richards were over to Elmwood last
Wednesday afternoon, where they
were looking after some business.
Robert has been cutting his clover
seed, which he estimates will make
about eight bushels to the acre, and
having twenty acres, he will realize
something in these distressing times
from the government use lands.
ests of that great humanitarian orga
nization, was in Wabash last Wed
nesday and was accompanied by the
officers of the Cass county chapter,
Miss Augusta Robb, of Union, and
Mrs. Henry S. Tool, of Murdock.
While here, they stated there is to
be established at Louisville a swim
ming school, where there will be
taught every available means of life
raving from drowning and the prop
er methods of resuscitation, as well
as the giving of instruction in swim
ming and life saving as applied to
removal of drowning persons from
the water. Arrangements will be
made for a large number of Cass
county people to attend this school
and secure the needed instruction.

and Miss Myrtle Woods.
Suffers Loss of Gocd Horse
Dan Rueter, who makes his home
at Alvo, but who has land here which
he farms, often keeps his surplus
stock here, turning it into the pas
ture. During the past week he suf
fered the loss cf a good horse, which
in play probably threw itself on a
steel post that penetrated the body
and killed the animal. Mr. Reuter
has been shipping a number of his
cattle to the South Omaha market,
where he received a very good price
for them. Jchn Gerdes took them to
market for Mr. Rueter.
The "Jest So Sewers" 4-H Club
The "Just So Sewers" 4-ir club met
Thursday, July 19, at Mildred and
Doretta Schlaphoff's for an all day
meeting, finishing up the laundry bag
project they had undertaken.
Hannah Menke's was voted the
best. The club members have now
started work on their aprons.
At noon a delicious dinner was
provided, after which the business
session was held. We appointed Mil
dre Schlaphoff leader. A few songs,
and then we had a light lunch of
ice cream and cake.
Next week most of the girls are
going to a 4-H camp for three djy.4.

STRIKE PLEDGE TO WAGNEE
To Establish Life-Saving School
M. R. Edminston, from the head
offices of the American Red Cross,
who is touring the west in the inter
laid Away Fund in Gocd Times
During the oppulent times, follow
ing the close of the world war, there
was great attention paid to the Amer
ican Red Cross for the great humani
tarian work it had done in war time,
and many were glad to subscribe to
(membership n the organization. A
few years later, however, with no
concerted drive for membership, the
number dwindled rapidly. During
the pest-war years, with little need
for relief work in this community,
the treasury of the local chapter was
able to accumulate a goodly sum for
this type of work, which remains un
expended and now can be put to fine
use in providing relief even to some
of those who in better times were
themselves giver3 to the fund. The
money has been most ably handled,
and it is a tribute to Red Cross offi
cers that it is now available for the
very best use to which it could be
put, as it would have been easy to
spend it in those "fat" years for one
thing and another, which in fact a
great many communities did.
The officers of the local branch of,
Portland, Ore. The strategy com
mittee of the central :.or council
here said it had pledged Ser.ator Wag
ner of New York that it will use its
influence to postpone the calling of a
general strike in Portland, until the
senator has had time to reach San
Franci.sco to present to the federal
mediation board the information he
has gathered here.
The senator sold lie will leave for
San Francisco Friday morning.
The district attorney's office here
contemplates no action against four
youns special ofiicers who fired at
an automobile carrying men who
were accompanying Senator Wagner
cf New Rork cn an Inspection of
Portland's strike blockaded wharves.
District Attorney Langley. making
this announcement, Eaid "an officer
has the right at any time to stop a
car on the highway in the perform
ance of police duty."
The guards said Fred R.oss, labor
attorney and driver of the car fired
upon, refused to heed repeated com
mands to halt for the customary
"checking out" at the dock entrance.
Senator Wagner was in the car ahead
which checked out properly and pass
ed unchallenged.
SAY HEALTH ENDAUGEEED
San Francisco. A warning that
the health of hotel dwellers is en
dangered by closed laundries was
made in a plea of the San Francisco
Hotel association that the strike
bound laundries be reopened.
