S3 Church Men of Cass County Plan to Hold Banquet Six Clubs in the County to Sponsor couniy-wiae meeting at Weep ing Water, Jan. 30th. An event of outstanding import ance In Cass county Las been plan ned for Wednesday night, January 30th at Weeping Water when the Men's Brotherhood organizations of the county will sponsor an all-county banquet. There are six of these church men's clubs in the county at present with a total membership of ever 200. An invitation will be ex tended to all men of the church in the county to attend this banquet and a speaker of outstanding impor tance will be secured and a fine pro gram of music arranged. A committee on local arrangements in Weeping Water is headed by J. J. Meier and a committee at Nehawka has as its chairman, Mr. Rutledge, editor of the Enterprise. A commit tee from the Plattsmouth Presbyter ian club has been appointed to assist in the arrangements composed of Carl J. Schneider, L. O. Minor and Dr. H. I, aieciusky. K. F. Patterson of Plattsmouth has been aeked to assist with the program. At present there are church men's clubs in Greenwood with Supt. E. E. Warren, president; at Nehawka with Mr. Elmer Stoll as president; two at Weeping Water, the Congregational with Mr. Chas. Gibson, president and Methodist, Mr. Joe Bender, president; and Plattsmouth, Roy Olson, presi dent. Mr. E. C. Alfrey is president of the club at Louisville. E. H. WeBcott of the local Meth odist Men's class is also co-operating in the movement. It has been the keen interest mani fest by the men In these monthly meetings that has led to the demand for a county banquet. The Idea has become popular to organize the men of the churches together Into organ izations for not only a social purpose, but for interesting and educational programs as well. It gives the men who are interested in church affairs an opportunity to meet together in a spirit of fellowship and good will. In Borne communities, the Brother hood Is not strictly denominational but includes all of the men of the community who are interested in fos tering such an organization. The experience of the six clubs formed so far has been so pleasant that they are co-operating together to hold the county meeting as they feel that it would be a splendid op portunity for the men of the county to meet together in a most pleasant and profitable way. It will be a dis tinctly unique meeting for as far as can be recalled no meeting of this kind has ever been held in Cass coun ty and a permanent organization may be perfected to perpetuate the Idea of a county-wide get-to-gether. Ministers and laymen of all churches will be invited and asked to co-operate and more definite an nouncements with reference to the program will be made at a later date. Business, professional, political and other religious meetings have been held in' the county, but it is believed this is the first time that a banquet and program for church men over the county has ever been planned.

All oats will be good quality white Kherson variety. The grain has been thocghly cleaned and is free of noxious wdii It has a test weight of 34 to 36 pounds per bushel. We are informed that 50,000 bushels have been bought for this state and it is feared this may not be sufficient to meet the demand, so it will be wise to get applications in early. Application blanks are being put in the hands of the corn-hog precinct chairmen, who are as fol lows: Greenwood Precinct Lloyd A. Grady, Greenwood. j Elmwood Precinct Fred Stock, Sr.. Murdock. Weeping Water Precinct A. C. Munn, Weeping Wateri'i. South Bend Precinct A. D. Zaar, Ashland. Tipton Precinct Clyde West, Eafgle. Salt Creek Precinct C. D. Ful mer, Greenwood. Stove Creek Precinct R.

Louisville Precinct Wm. H. Hoo ver, Louisville. It is imperative that orders be placed at once if farmers wish to save the expense of storing the grain and also to facilitate the shipment of grain to the desired point of distri bution as soon as possible. Ask your precinct chairman for an application blank or ask for it at the Farm Bureau office. Farmers will be notified which ele vator their seed will be distributed from. HAVE VISIT WITH BR0THE2 Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McMaken and Mrs. Eva Reese were at Omaha Sat urday to spend a short time visiting with their brother, Edward Mc Maken, of Sheridan, Wyoming, who passed through that city en route to Rochester, Minnesota, where he will have an examination at the Mayo clinic.

TLe bill gives to the 50 districts an average population of 27.0CC with the Otoe county district the baby in population with 19.69C. Butler and Saunders combine to constitute dis trict of heaviest population, 33,794. Average for each of the four desig- Lancaster county districts Is j24,4S9 with the district average for Douglas county, 2S.044. The setup, according to mandate, must be on population basis only. Rastial, republican of Keith, one of tho introducers, said that if the man date permitted, he would prefer ap portionment on this basis: 75 per cent on population and 5 percent on area. The house created a special or ad ditional standing committee to han dle the unicameral issue, this con sisting of two members from each of the five congressional districts with Speaker O'Gara chairman and mem ber at large. This committee quite naturally Is of democratic complex ion. Introducers of the unicameral are Herrick of Frontier and Thomas cf Clay, both democrats, and the fol lowing republicans: Reilly of Thurs ton. Rasdal of Keith. Thompson of Red Willow, Bentzen of Boyd, Frank of Kearney, Hanthorn of Nuckolls and Cushing of Valley. Those interested worked up to midnight Monday ironing out the final details. The measure will per haps receive much Juggling In com mittee. One or more additional bills on the subject may follow. It is not. however, considered in itself a poli tical issue. Democrats and republi cans perhaps are near evenly divided. In the past, whenever congres sional or legislative redistricting was attempted, politics did insert a nose. It always was the fear that new lines would give one party or the other undue advantage in one or more dis tricts and the major parties conceded that they were not averse to an ad vantage here and there. The bill sets up the following dis tricts: No. 1 Sioux. Box Butte, Dawes. No. 2 Scottsbluff. No. 3 Kimball, Banner, Morrill, Cheyenne. No. 4 Sheridan, Cherry, Brown.
