Two Men Killed
as Motor Train
Strikes a Truck
W. A. Stark and Charles Lathrop,
Believed of Cambridge, Victims
cf Collision at Fremont
Fremont, May 26. Two men, Iden
tified as W. A. Stark, about 2G, and
Charles Lathrop, 45, apparently both
of Cambridge, Neb., were killed near
here Sunday afternoon in the collis
ion cf their truck and a Burlington
motor train.
Tho truck, leaded with cattle, was
struck broadside by the motor train
and was carried about 200 feet down
the tracks. Stark was killed Instant
ly and Lathrop died a few minutes
after the accident. Seven of the eight
steers in tho truck were killed and
their bodies were strewn along the
right of way.
Stark's body was wedged under the
pilot guard of the train when it came
to a stop. Physicians said virtually
every bone in his body was broken.
The truck was going east on highway
No. 30.
The two men were identified only
by papers and Dcdge county authori
ties were attempting to verify their
names and addresses. Stark apparent
ly was the driver of the truck.
The motor train was en route from
Sioux City to Lincoln. The accident
occurred shortly before 3:50 p. m.,
when the train was due in Fremont.
Train Disabled
The motor on the train was dis
abled by the impact and it was neces
sary to dispatch a steam locomotive
from Ashland to move the motor
train.
Meanwhile, hundreds of persons
gathered at the intersection, blocking
traffic on the Lincoln highway and
impeding the work of trainmen. Fre
mont police were called to keep back
the crowd and direct traffic.
Windows in the train cab were
shattered and glass was thrown into
the engineer's room, but Engineer
Henry C. Burleigh, of Lincoln, escaped
unhurt.
None of the train's thirteen pas
sengers were injured. Burleigh Baid
the train approached the crossing
with its bell ringing and that the
truck slowed down as If It were going
to stop. Both the train and truck
then picked up speed, Burleigh said,
and the train struck the truck broad
side. Authorities were checking the pos
sibility Lathrop might be from In
dianola, Neb., since a bill of sale dated
at Indianola was found in his pocket.
MISS MIDDLETON VALEDICTORIAN
The many friends of Miss Marion
Mlddleton, daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
Walter C. Middleton, 197 Stone
street, Watertown, N. Y., but for
merly of St. Luke's Plattsnicuth, will
be pleased to learn of her gradu
ation at the Watertovn high school.
Miss Middleton, 16, is the valedic
torian of the June graduation class.
She has an average of 91.81 per cent
for her four years work. The oass
totals 154 members, and the averages
for graduation show there are seven
girls and three boys listed among
the ten honor students in the class,
with Miss Middleton ranking the
highest.
Trinity church, Watertown, N. Y.,
where Rev. Middleton is rector, is a
parish of about 1,500 communicants.
It has a very splendid church build
ing, with a large parish house. The
house has a gymnasium, swimming
pool, bowling alleys, billiard room,
a large auditorium with completely
equipped stage and a pipe organ, etc.
They have a crew of eight full-time
people and several people who work
part time. The church school has
an enrollment of 431, with an aver
age attendance of 82 per cent. The
Girls Friendly has an enrollment
of about 200, the Woman's Ancillary
about 100, the Mothers' Society, 95.
They have a Boy Scout troop, a
Camp Fire group, an Acolytes Guild
composed of 24 boys, and an Altar
Guild with about 75 members.
VETERANS IN CCC
The expansion proyram of the
Civilian Conservation Corps will re
sult in an additional enrollment in
the veterans' contingent. Honorably
discharged veterans of any war are
eligible for enrollment. Applications
for enrollment can be secured from
the Veterans Administration Facility,
Lincoln, Nebraska. The veterans
then selected are ordered to report
to the Civilian Conservation Corps
Camp nearest their homes and if ac
cepted for enrollment after examin
ation by the army authorities, are
forwarded to one of the veteran com
panies in Nebraska for assignment.
This enrollment will begin June 15,
1935.
SCOOTERS' CONFERENCE
The second annual Scouters' con
ference of the Cornhusker area, Boy
Scouts, will be held at Camp Kiwanls
near Milford, Saturday and Sunday,
June 1 and 2. This conference is for
adult leaders only. Saturday after
coon and evening will be devoted to
a balanced recreational program, in
cluding a campfire in the evening.
Sunday sessions will open with a sun
rise religious service, followed by dis
cussion cf the problems of Scouting,
along the line of la3t year's group as
semblies at Crete. Meals will be pro
vided at the camp.
The conference will be attended by
a number of Plattsmouth Scouters and
it is hoped to be able at this time to
pay the Plattsmouth quota of expense
for the maintaining of Scouting in
lhi3 area. Many other towns have al
ready met their assessment, which is
based on a three cent per capita
charge, figured for the next lowest
hundred or thousand of population,
as the case may be. Thus towns that
are slightly under 4,000 population
get the benefit of a 3,000 figure and
are assessed but $90, the amount for
Plattsmouth. Towns under 1,000 are
reduced to the next lowest hundred,
with a minimum charge of $7.50 per
year. Response to the call for renew
al of memberships in the "150 Club'
will provide the necessary funds to
not only make this payment, but meet
overhead costs connected with main
taining tho Scout cabin at Camp
Wheeler, such as insurance, telephone
and overhead costs. So far, the return
has fallen woefully short. Member
ship dues in the club, which were
signed up for last year on a three
year basis, are but $1 per year from
each person enrolled.
FINDS CONDITIONS IMPROVED
Charles R. Troop of thi3 city re
turned ThursdayAfternoon from a
few days stay in Colorado where he
has land interests in the vicinity of
Holyoke. Mr. Troop departed Sunday
for the west and states that he drove
through rain all of the way and
found that eastern Colorado, sorely
stricken by the drouth, had been
having a wonderful rain this season
and the residents there have gather
ed new courage after several years
of extreme dry weather. The vicin
ity of Holyoke has had eight inches
of rain so far this year and while the
fall and winter wheat will not be
much owing to the dryness- of the
early part of tho 'year, a large num
ber of farmers are preparing to put
In corn in hopes of a crop to supply
them with feed for the winter. To
illustrate the extent of the rain in
that section of Colorado, Mr. Troop
states that a small boy of the family
residing on his place was out re
cently and killed 100 frog3 in a pond
near the place not bad for a gen
erally arid country.
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
The seventh birthday anniversary
of Marjorle Ann Devoe was observed
on Tuesday afternoon by a pleasant
athering of the young friends and
associates at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Devoe.
There were fourteen in the party
and the afternoon was spent in
games of all kinds which made the
time pass most delightfully for all
of the young people until an appro
priate hour when a dainty luncheon,
featured by the birthday cake, was
served. Miss Yvonne King, teacher
of the little folks, was a guest of the
occasion.
In honor of the event the guest of
honor received a number of very
handsome and attractive gifts from
the little friends.
In the serving Mrs. Devoe was as
sisted by Mrs. Searl S. Davis.
ENTERTAIN FOR FRIEND
Prom Thursday' Dally
Miss Frances Cloidt last evening
entertained a number of the school
friends in honor of Twila Fae Hen
drix. who is to leave the city soon
for Milligan, Nebraska, where she
will make her home with her uncle
and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Otre
dosky.
The occasion was a dinner party
that was thoroughly enjoyed by the
group of young people. The evening
following was devoted to cards and
in which the prizes were awarded td
Frances Hadraba and Eleanor Minor
for their skill.
Those who were in attendance
were Patty Cloidt, Eleanor Minor,
Jean Knorr, Laura Mrasek, Margaret
Ann Vallery, Shirley Keck, Frances
Hadraba, Twila Fie Hendrix and
the hostess, Frances Cloidt.
Mrs. J. D. Cross, who, after the
funeral of Mr. Cross, accompanied
her sons as far as Overbeck, Kansas,
on their return to their homes in
Colorado, visited her nieces there for
two weeks, returning home Friday
evening.
Rain and Cold
Check Moths in
the Orchards
Condition is Favorable to Scab, How
ever, Horticulturist Warns
Foresee Good Crop.
Tho cold rainy weather durning
the past weeks has been extremely
unfavorable for codling moths in the
orchard section cf Nebraska according
to E. II. Hoppert, extension horticul
turist at the college of agriculture.
"Only about 40 per cent of the
overwintering larvae have begun to
pupate," he says. "Even with warm
weather, there would be no need for
a codling moth spray for ten days to
two weeks."
The weather has been decidedly
favorable, however, to the develop
ment of scab. Fungicide applied dur
ing the calyx spray will probably re
main effective ten days to two weeks
after application, but probably not
until the time cofes for the first cover
the last spray, and It has no proteo
spray for the coddling moth. Consid
erable new foliage has developed since
tion whatever.
Young apples, Hoppert says, have
grown seme also since the last spray,
and it is advisable therefore to apply
a fungicide a3 soon as the ground is
dry enough to stand the weight cf a
sprayer.
"Weather has been favorable for
shot hole fungus on cherries," Hop
pert adds, "and black rot on grape3.
Use liquid lime sulphur 14 gallons to
50 for shot hole fungU3 and Bordeaux
3-4-50 on the grapes when the new
shoots are 8 inches long. Watch for
the chain-like holes on the grape
leaves and as soon as they begin to
appear apply lead arsenate, 1V1
pounds to 50 gallons of water. The
larvae of the gray beetle that make
these holes, feed on the roots and thus
cause tadly infested vine3 to turn
yellow later in the summer."
PRISONER IS NOT KARPIS
Chicago. A garrulous prisoner
who had kicked up a flurry while
being rushed across the west in a
plane by claiming he was Alvin Kar-
pis, public enemy No. 1, was identi
fied by authorities as Jack Loague, a
burglary suspect, when he reached
the Chicago airport. Detective Ser
geant A. O. Clark of the Memphis,
Tenn., police department, identified
Loague as his prisoner and dispelled
rampant rumors that the notorious
Karpis had been captured. Clark said
he had gone to Vale, Ore., to get the
suspect and was returning him to
Memphis for trial on burglary
charges.
Several score of persons three
federal agents, a detective squad, a
host of reporters and cameramen and
a crowd of curious stampeded to
the plane when it landed. Loague i3
husky, sandy haired, full faced and
bears no resemblance to the dark
and slender Karpis.
SHOWER COMING BRIDE

Tho time was spent in games at
which a great deal of pleasure was
derived by the members of the groiTi
and much merriment enjoyed.
The members of the choir joined
In presenting Miss May with a very
beautiful gift that will long be cher
ished as a token of the pleasant as
sociations in the choir work of the
church and the friends.
The evening was closed by the
serving of dainty 'and delicious re
freshments and the extending of the
well wishes to the bride-to-be.

Slary Varieties of Each are Being
Planted in Order to Compare
Yields Over the State.
Testing of approved varieties of
soybeans, corn and forage and grain
sorghums on nuferous Nebraska farms
for comparative yields and local adap
tation was announced from the col
lege of agriculture at Lincoln this
last week.
Five big corn variety tests will be
planted this week and next in five
different counties, P. II. Stewart, ex
tension agronomist, said. The plant
ings are to be made on the farms of
Arch Ilcstermann, Auburn; Amos
Gramlich, Fort Crook; Honor Ochsner,
Madison; Vernon Euhling, Oakland,
and Earnest Peterson, Concord. Thirty-five
varieties, fostly hybrids, are
being put in each plat.
Farm and experiment station re
sults in past years indicate that the
better hybrids will outyield superior
corn varieties by about 15 per cent
and Nebraska farmers apparently
will watch the 1935 test3 to compare
the results. The better hybrids have
a more erect and etiffer ctalk and pro
duce a more uniform stand, results
show.
In addition to tho Ave big tests,
farmers in ten different counties are
also co-operating with tho experiment
station in cofparing 15 hybrids and
varieties with local corn. Fifteen
varieties will be used in each plat and
will be planted at the usual local rate.
The exact location of these tests ia
to be announced later, according io
Stewart.
Increasing interest in growing of
sorghum is being followed by a com
parison of fifteen different varieties
in twenty different counties where
farmers are co-operating with their
local agricultural agents and the ex
periment station in the project. Most
cf the tests are being put in the
south Platte territory.
Five varieties of soybeans have
already been planted In fifteen coun
ties, mostly in the southeastern and
northern counties. In another pro
ject, thirty Nebraska farmers are co
operating in comparing foundation
atlas sorgo with other varieties. The
seed will be eligible to certification
and help produce a "pure" atlas
seed In the state. More than 200 acre3
of the foundation atlas will be plant
ed by the thirty co-operators.
