William Langhorst was spending a
few days Iat week in Elmwood, visit
ing with hi3 many friends there, af
ter which he returned to hi3 home
Jiere.
Will Murfin, who has been work
ing in Platteraouth with the read
improvement force, is still driving to
and from work, keeping the employ
ment as long as there is anything for
him to do.
Frank Resso, who has been getting
short of water fcr the home and stock
has added a few more feet to the old
well and now there is an abundance
of water. The same problem is facing
a number of ether people.
J.Irs. Fred Tcwle, who has been in
very poor health for some time, was
taken to a hospital where she has
been placed under observation to as
certain the cause of her poor health,
and given a rest from the daily work,
in order to build up her strength.
Operator Sloan, cf Alvo, who is a
member of the Wabash orchestra, has
had his hours cf work changed and
r.ow gees to work at nine o'clock in
etead of eleven, thus making it im
possible for him to engage in prac
tice as heretofore. A new schedule
will have to be devised by the or
chestra. John Woods has not been fgeeling
very well and was compelled to have
some one else look after the driving
of his trucks cn the work of deliver
ing stone from Queen Hill near Ro:k
Dluffs to the work on the Missouri
river at I'lattsmouth. While he has
teen at home, Clyde Lau and Louis
Reese hae been driving the trucks.
The rain of last Tuesday evening and
Wednesday morning caused the work
at the quarries to be halted on ac
count of the slcppy condition under
foot and so the boys brought one ot
the trucks home and gave it the once
over, returning in the evening to re
sume their work again.
Will Hake Home in West
With the passing of one of the
very best of women, Mrs. H. P. Hinds,
Mr. Iinds is left desolate by separa
tion from the companion of years, the
former home has been closed, the
husband having accepted the invita
tion of their son, Jesse Hinds, to
make his home at that cf the son, re
siding in Colorado. They both depart
ed for Colorado a few days ago, and
Grandfather Hinds will make his
home ther for the present.
This leaves the home which has
been maintained in Wabash for years
closed and desolate. The cordial hos
pitality which greeted everyone is
there no more and the visitor sees but
closed doors and drawn window cur
tains. Mr. Hinds has been a familiar fig
ure in the business activities and the
social life of the village, and will be
greatly missed.
Hears cf Death of Brother
John Cardwell was selected to dig
the grave for Mrs. James Clarke, and
while he was at work on the last
resting place of the remains of this
grjod woman, he received a long dis
tance phone call from Horton, Kansas,

! tation came an automobile a vehicle
that has changed the transportation
methods cf the world. The coming of
this particular season has inspired
Hcbart Hanson to build a corn har
vesting machine which would save
the farmer much hard work in car
ing for his crops when an emergency
ccmes, like the one this summer. And
while he has invented a machine and
built one, it was found the lightness
would net keep the machine in the
right row, and so he has tacked it
cnto a mewing mcahine, thinking ha
could crnvert that inio just what is
required. We say this much, if there
is any person who can do this thing,
it is Herbert.
Mrs. James Clarke Dies in Omaha
Mrs. James Clarke, who has attain
ed the advanced age of S5 years and
is the mother of our townsman, P. H.

country.
The deceased lady was a devout
Catholic and remained faithful to the
precepts of that religion right up to
the time cf her death. The body was
brought here for burial and interment
was in the Catholic cemetery.
The husband died more than 20
years ago. The only remaining mem
ber of the family residing here is P.
H. Clarke, a son. Two sons, Mark and
Clement, make their home in Omaha;

The many old time friends who

lias gone, although she is well past
the alloted span of life and has lived
a life resplendent with good works
and kind deeds.

and with his daughter and husband,
Hubert Franks, immediately depart
ed fcr the bedside of the sick brother.
Mr. and Mrs. Franks are changing off
in the driving. When they arrived
they found the brother somewhat im
proved, and remained, visiting for
several days with him and another
brother, Peter Urish and family and
returning home last week. In their
trip they found the condition of the
weather and the crops througn Iowa
much the same as in Nebraska, but
in Illinois they found the vegetation
very thrifty and green as they had
been having much rain there and the
prospects for a corn crop were never
better.
Have Located Oil Deposit.
Frank Rhoden who has had much
experience in the oil fields of the
south and especially in Texas, and
John Urish who has given this mat
ter great study have with their study
and investigation found a deposit of
oil in Cass county a half mile in
width and nine miles long. The
writer was with them and while we
do not know anything about oil ex
cept to buy it at the filling stations,
it seems that they have found the
deposits in an abundant quantity as
indicated by their methods of investi
gation. They are ready to begin op
erations when they can complete the
leasing of the block which contains
the deposit.
UNCLE SAM GETS PLANT
Federal operation of the Wilson
company packing plant at Nebraska
City for the slaughter and curing of
meat to be used for relief purposes,
is now authorized, according to State
Director of Federal Relief, Royland
Haynes. Authorization for the open
ing of the closed packing establish
ment under government operation
was received by telephone from
Washington, Haynes said.
According to the relief director,
the contract is on a $1 per year basis,
but all Improvements made by the
government will become the perman
ent property of the Wilson company.
It is planned, Haynes said, to op
erate the place for the slaughter of
sheep purchased by the government
in drouth stricken regions. The ani
mals wiil probably come from Ne
braska and Wyoming ranges.
Completion of arrangements to
open the plant hove been delayed
until the present, Haynes said, be
cause of the cost which would have
been involved if the plant was to
be conditioned to handle beef ani
mals. Opening the plant under federal
direction will mark the first entry
of the government into actual oper
ation of a slaughter plant in this
state. All previous operations have
been on a contract basis.
Re-employment officials believe
that the opening of the plant, togeth
er with the expansion of river work,
will absorb virtually all Otoe coun
ty's unemployed.

Bryan Lays It
to Money and
Press, Creeds
Leaves Support of Burke in Doubt
But Praises State Nominees ;
Reviews Campaign.
"Money and the press, beer and
liquor, youth and religion, were the
strong factors which probably affect
ed public opinion and influenced the
result more than others," said Gov
ernor Bryan, commenting upon the
primary election in which he was de
feated for democratic nomination for
United States senator by Congress
man Burke cf Omaha. He returned
to his office Friday apparently In
good health and spirits and discuss
ed results philosophically and yet in
a signicant manner. He made nc
mention of the "special interests"
having been responsible for his de
feat. When asked the blunt question as
to whether he would support the
democratic nominee for United States
senator his answer was far from
blunt, and apparently left the ques
tion up in the air, at least condi
tionally. His signicant reply was:
"If the false accusations and dis
honest misrepresentations made
against me by my opponents in the
primary campaign were true it would
be most unfair, unkind, ungenerous
and unsportsmanlike on my part to
voluntarily endanger the success of
the democratic senatorial candidate
at the November election by an
nouncing at this time that I was
determined to support him."
He praised the state and congres
sional democratic ticket and said the
"democratic state officers who had
been renominated had very material
ly aided the past two years in giving
the Nebraska state government a
place in the sun" and that "they are
entitled to re-election with others
nominated on the legislative ticket
and that he would assist in every
way possible to bring about their
success in November. No congratula
tory message has gone from Bryan's
office to Burke, it was learned.
Reviewing the primary campaign
the governor said he had no alibi to
offer nor complaint to make. He said
the surface publicity to the effect
that he was not in accord with the
president was without foundation
and has been proven false was so
well known "that publicity to the
contrary, in his gudgment, had very
little effect on the results of the elec
tion." FIEE HAZARDS IN SCHOOLS
State Fire Marshal Butcher said
that 57 S rural schools which have
not complied with his orders for cor
rection of hazards by Aug. 25 will
be ordered not to open their doors
for school this fall. His statement
says the fire hazards to be corrected
are:
Stove located too near door. Should
be moved so as not to cut off escape
in case of fire. Must be at least six
feet away.
Fuel must be kept outside, in base
ment or in separate room with door
to be kept closed.
Smoke pipe too close to ceiling or
floor joists, must protect with asbes
tos board where closer than 18 inches
in basement and 12 inches to plaster
ed ceiling in school room.
Stove or furnace too close to walls
or wood. Protect by moving them
3 feet away or place metal shield be
tween same.
Place metal underneath stove.
Must ertend 18 inches in front to
protect from hot coals, etc. If not
that now, add an additional piece of
galvanized iron.
Fix screens on windows in frames
and hinge at top or side, and fasten
with hooks so same can be used as
an exit if necessary in case of fire.
Swing all exit doors leading from
school room outward. If wind both
ers build a portico to protect it.
We earnestly request that you in
stall a fire extinguisher, one quart
size or larger, a kind that will not
freeze. It may save a life. This is
the only order herein that is not
compulsory.

WAITE
That the greatest weakness of
some cities is apathy and lack of co
operation. Apathy is deadly and so is lack of
co-operation.
A city that allows these conditions
to exist has a l.opi Irss future.
To be asleep at the post is a crime
against yourself as '.veil as meaning
a slow, lingering death for the home
city.
Cities in this condition should
come to life; the pfople should unite
and fight aggressively for the bet
terment of the home city.
If a city needs attention at all,
the sooner it gets it tht better.
Nothing can possibly be gained by
putting it off, and if they do their
present condition probably -will be
aggravated.
The wisest course to pur?ue In
building a city is to unite, get busy
f.nd stay busy.
NOT TO RAISE TAX RATE
Spokane, Wash. Representative
Hill, (d.. Wash.), chairman of the

"On the basis of the present tax rate

raised to meet the current expenses

looking chiefly for loopholes thru
which certain interests have been
escaping taxation."
