Hemp a New
Crop in North
East Nebraska
Eastern Processing Plant Offers $15
a Ton for Product Effec
tive Weed Killer.
Hemp, a new crop for northeastern
Nebraska, may be introduced into
Cedar county. So says the Harting
ton Herald.
If farmers there decide to contract
for the crop, a local unit comprising
2,000 acres will be established. Grow
ers signing contracts would be pro
vided with seed and machinery. Un
der the plan offered to farmers by a
large eastern hemp processing con
cern, they would be given a basic
price of $15 per ton on the market,
the Herald says.
Hemp grows readily over wide
areas with varying climatic condi
tions and can withstand changing
temperatures. Long known as an ef
fective weed killer, hemp has come to
be known as an effective enemy to
the growth of quack grass and
Canadian thistles. It also follows
corn in some sections to an advan
tage. Harvesting of the crop usually

Countywide meetings of farmers
thruout the northeastern section are
planned to explain the growing of
the crop, the Hartington Herald ex
plains. Last year 6,800 acres of the
crop was raised in Minnesota on a
plan similar to the one proposed for
Nebraska. The fibre has a wide va
riety of practical use3 and is believed
to be one of the most durable fibres
known today. Thousands of articles
are made from the crop.
PET DOG ROUTS A BURGLAR
St. Louis. Mitz: has a distaste for

threatened harm to her mistress, Mrs.
M. F. Eckert, and her six months old
son. Mrs. Eckert answered a knock
on the dor of her home to be con
fronted by a s"5abbily dressed man
who pointed a revolver at her and
demanded money. Mitzi, a twelve
pouni toy bull terrier, leaped on the
intruder and forced him to flee. A
policeman, seeking the reasons for
Mitzi's ferocity, found her friendly
until he pointed his revolver at her.
Then he beat a hasty retreat as the
small terrier raged upon him, snarl
ing and barking and attempting to
bite him.

Miss Marie Kauf
maim Honored by
Woodman Circle
Plattsmouth Lady Is Named as State
Historian at the Convention at
Omaha Saturday.
The delegates and other members
of the Voodmen Circle from this city,
returned late Saturday night from a
delightful and inspiring state con
vention held at Omaha March first
and second. Nebraska ha3 chosen
Marie E. Kaufmann, local secretary,
as its first historian.
The selection of Miss Kaufmann
for this important office is a recog
nition that is most pleasing to the
local grove and one which is much
deserved, as Miss Kaufmann has long
been one of the active workers in the
order in the state.
Mrs Dora Alexander Talley, na
tional president of the Woodmen
Circle, told the state convention of
the group, that Nebraska groves of
the organization have displayed a
"remarkable increase in that civic
and social service which is our con
stant ideal."
"While we are very proud of our
financial standing as an insurance
group, yet we consider our greatest
achievement is in our fraternal ac
tivities. I am highly pleased at the
marked increase in these shown in
Nebraska's report at the state con
vention," Mrs. Talley said. "I wish,
too, to express "my sincere gratitude
to Nebraska groves of the Woodmen
Circle for their splendid contribu
tion to The Home for Orphaned Chil
dren and Aged Members maintained
by the Circle in Sherman, Tex. The
children and old folks at the heme
join with me, I know, in expressing
our appreciation to Nebraska for this
kindness."
Mrs. Talley said a third building
was soon to be constructed at the
institution, maintained by the organ
ization on 244 acres of land near
Sherman. The first structure in the
group was officially dedicated in
1930.
Mrs. Talley complimented Nebras
ka on making the second best record
in the six-month campaign, which
was recently held in her honor and
pointed to the splendid net gain of
three hundred members made by the
state in 1934. ;
Mrs. Talley emphasized, during
her address to the convention, the
stress the organization" k lays on its
welfare and civic activities: "We
aim to co-operate in all community
and welfare projects.' We recognize
that the glory of our nation depends
upon the character of our homes.
Next to the church, fraternal so
cieties like ours are doing more to
foster our homes today than any oth
er institution in our civilization,"
she declared.
"We shall constantly strive to do
everything in our power to make our
various communities better places in
which to llve this is the organiz
ation's ideal, and its" pledge," she
said.

livered in German, contributions
were dropped into a receptacle placed
on the platform in front of the hall.
Many mothers carrying infants kiss
ed her and men greeted her in her
native tongue.
Qutside the hall more than 1,000
persons, unable to gain admission,
waited for a glimpse of her. Mrs.
Hauptmann said her husband was in
excellent spirits and is confident he
will be given another trial and

ings," she said.
TEXAS HAS A BUST STORM
