Elmwood News
Louis Bornemeier and Roland
Schlictmeier were over to Omaha last
Thursday afternoon, Doth going to
look after business matters in their
line.
A car from out of town was en
deavoring to back out of a parking
place on the west side of Main street
and came back with such force that
the car crossed the street and over
the curb to wreck the barber poll of
Charles west.
Make Good Will Trio.
Postmaster of the National House
of Representatives Louis F. Lang
horst and Congressman Henry C
Luckey of the First Nebraska district
were over to Nebraska City last Mon
day where they were making a good
will visit and on Wednesday they
made a similar visit in Plattsmouth
meeting with the many people of all
political beliefs and showing that the
present administration has wonder
fully restored confidence and re-estab
lished business on a more substantial
basis.
These two gentlemen are also to at
tend the banquet at Lincoln Friday
evening in appreciation of the work
of Mr. Lucky in congress.
A Bit of Reckless Driving'.
We read of careless and reckless
driving of automobiles, and on last
Wednesday Elmwood citizens were
given an example of this. A student
of the Elmwood high school who re
sides on the farm east of Wabash
and drives to school here, following
the closing of school last Tuesday
had secured his car and was going
home, stopping at the Trunkenbolz
station for some fuel and was driving
out of the station to proceed home,
when a bar bearing C Lancaster coun
ty license, 2-406 came hopping up
Main street at a clip exceeding 40
miles an hour and when over a hun
dred feet away slammed on the
brakes, grinding the gravel under
the wheels and weaving about when
both sides of the street was lined
with cars and was not able to stop
until it hit the car of the school boy.
In this instance the impact was
but slight, for we can say that the
driver of the Lincoln car was an ex
cellent one and did his best and stop
ped the car with but slight damage,
but people's hair stood on end. L. F.
Langhorst and the writer were sit
ting In the car of the former directly
In the path of the vaulting, swerving
onrushing bundle of steel and for a
few seconds it looked like an account
ing would be had, but the car came
to a stop without any fatalities.
The City of Elmwood has an ordin
ance forbidding the operation of mo
tor vehicles on their Main street more
than fifteen miles an hour, but this
man without any regard for the wel
fare of others was scooting through
the crowded Main street endanger
ing the lives and property of the
people, at a fast sclip. Such people,
whether they are good drivers or not.
should be refused a license to operate
an automobile until they have learn
ed to respect the rights of others.
The Girls Were Winners.
The young married peoples class
of the Christian Bible school have
been having a contest for new mem
bers as well as for stimulating more
interest in the work and after noses
were counted it was found the ladies
of the class had won over the gents
and the latter have to sponsor a party
for all. The gathering was held at
the parlors of the Christian church'
last Tuesday evening when the men
served their worthy spouses with a
supper and a general good time.
The Maxwell House.
No not coffee, but the airplane
which three young men of Elmwood
made last summer but which came to
grief when they had a try out. The
company composed of Virgil Woods,
George Blessing, jr., and Russell Mill
er are now at the work of getting
the ship "in shape again for the com
ing spring when they will give it an
other trial. The young men are true
Americans and cannot be discouraged
and with a spirit that wins over all
obstacles they are at It again and we
are sure they will succeed.
Fire Department Meets.
Last Monday evening was the regu
lar meting of the Elmwood fire de
partment and after they had looked
after the business calling them to
gether they indulged in a social time
and had a bridge party where they
enjoyed the evening until late.
In the summary of the games which
were played it was ascertained the
winners of high score were L. J.
Hayes and Guy Clements.
The fire boys who are a progres
sive set, also have in the field a com
mittee of three conslstinf of E. C.
Parish, Milo Frisble and Emmett Cook
to look after the organization of a
county fire fighting league and to
hold a convention in Elmwood at an.
early date. The committee visited the
various towns in the county where
there are organized fire fighting com
panies and reported that all the
places visited were agreeable but that
the matter had to be ratified and
delegates elected to attend the con
vention, which will take some time
to accomplish.
Aeed Pioneer Receives Injury
Jacob Flaischman, 81 years of age
and a pioneer of Nebraska and Cass
county, having resided near Elmwood
for more than half a century, sus
tained a fall last Friday which caused
a great injury to his hip bone, frac
turing the same. He was attended
and given first aid, after which he
was taken to the Bryan Memorial hos
pital in Lincoln for care and treat
ment. His advanced years and rather
infirm health is making it difficult
for him to battle the effect of the in
jury. Showing Wonderful Sales.
Mrs. Bess Streeter Aldrich, author
ess, was over to Omaha early this
week autographing books for the
trade featuring her last book, "Come
On Spring Forever," which is now
on sale and she has a number of the
books in the stores in Elmwood auto
graphed and which are being sold
very rapidly.
A week ago the sale of new books
placed Mrs. Aldrich's new book as
15th in number of sales, while this
week she has gained until she is
ranked as 6th which is a very flatter
ing gain and one which tells the very
popular place in the public estima
tion in which her new book is held.
Say, people, did you know that we
have here in Cass county and at Elm
wood an authoress who has recently
completed her eighth book and all of
which have met with a wonderful
reception by the reading public. Elm
wood, Cass county and all of Nebras
ka should be proud of this wonderful
authoress and the eight wonderful
books depicting Nebraska life which
she by long and hard work has pro
duced for you to read and enjoy.
Will Steam Heat Building.
The committee having in hand the
heating proposition o the Elmwood
Community building have at last de
cided upon the placing of a steam
heating plant in the building and
have the matter well in hand. The
city of Elmwood 13 to be congratu
lated in having as a good a building
as the one now In use and as well a
citizenry who have the enterprise to
keep the building in the best condi
tion. Want Picture Show.
Speaking with a number of the
people of Elmwood, the writer was
told that there is a demand for a
moving picture show in town. With
a good place to meet and a building
especially adapted to this kind of en
tertainment there should be found
someone who would engage in this
entertainment as a lucrative business.
Every week hundreds of people spend
hundreds of dollars for picture shows
which goes to other towns instead of
Elmwood. Why not keep this money
at home?
Entertained at Hallowe'en.
Misses Golda and Era a Kunts,
members of the E. L. C. E. of the
Evangelical church of Elmwood en
tertained the E. L. C. E. members at
their home last Thursday, Hallowe'en
when they all enjoyed a very fine tire's
with all the games which make the
celebration of this event so popular
and say they had some eats as well
and a good time for there will be no
Hallowe'en again until next year.
SECURES CATTLE
Ray Price, of Nebraska City, owner
of the truck wrecked near this city
Tuesday morning was a busy man
Tuesday afternoon in rounding up
the load of cattle that had escaped
from the truck when overturned. Mr.
Price had been driving a truck load
of cattle that preceded that driven
by Oney Made and in which August
Herzog was riding, he being unaware
until sometime later that his second
truck had been . wrecked. On his re
turn from Omaha he secured the scat
tered cattle that had roamd into near
by field 3 and loaded them for mar
ket, taking them on into Omaha late
Tuesday.
'FINDS FOR PLAINTIFF
Tuesday the case of Walter Engel
kemeier vs. Frank Linder was on trial
in the county court before Judge
A. H. Duxbury and a Jury. This was
an action for damages for an auto
wreck that occurred near Nehawka
on September 22, 1935, in which the
plaintiff and defendant both asked
damages. The Jury was composed of
Michael Hild, J. E. Meisinger, John
Bajeck, Henry Trout, W. C. Tippens

Win Many Ribbons at Ak-Sar-Ben.
With the stlffest competition Ak-Sar-Ben
has seen for several years,
Cass county 4-H club members
brought home the second largest
number of ribbons of any county ex
hibiting. Seward county won the
largest number of ribbons, Cass coun
ty the second and Fremont county,
Iowa, the third largest. Cass county
showed 11 beeves, 9 fat barrows and
12 head of lambs. In the sale ring,
they averaged $13.00 per hundred on
the beeves, $9.60 on the hogs and
19c per pound on the lambs. The
calf owned by Warren Rikli, of Mur
dock, which was grand champion of
the Cass county fair, placed fifth at
Ak-Sar-Ben and brought $15.25 per
100 in the sale.
One of the enjoyable events of the
week was a special tour provided for
the 4-H boys and girls. D. D. Wain
scott conducted the tour, leaving the
Ak-Sar-Ben, with 76 youngsters in
tow, at 9:30 In the morning and go
ing to the Swift & Co. packing plant
for a tour of inspection. At noon they
enjoyed a dinner on the tenth floor
of the Livestock Exchange building
as guests of the Exchange. Follow
ing the dinner, a special demonstra
tion on meat cutting was given by
Max Cullen of the National Meat and
Livestock Board. Chartered busses
then took them to the Orpheum the
atre where they enjoyed the after
noon performance, following which
they were conducted to the 17th floor
of the Woodman of the World build
ing, where they were dinner guests
of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
A special program concluded the din
ner.
Another highlight of the week was
the banquet, attended by three or
four hundred 4-H club youngsters,
agricultural agents and other guests,
given by the Wellman & Sons Com
mission company. Cars, with special
police escort, took the guests to and
from the Ak-Sar-Ben grounds.
Health and Economy.
Do you try to save the minerals
when you cook vegetables? As much
as 50 per cent of the health pro
tecting factors may be dissolved in
the cooking water, and If the water is
not used they are lost. This means
only half the health protection that
might be provided, and a waste of
half the money spent for vegetables.
Tto prevent this:
1. Cook vegetables in only a small
amount of water and use the water
for soups or gravies. (Some people
like to drink this water a commend
able practice.)
2. Leave vegetables in large pieces
when cooking so that less of the
minerals will be dissolved.
Farm Windbreaks.
Some 2,000 Nebraska rarmers have
helped Earl G. Maxwell, extension
forester at the Nebraska College of
Agriculture, determine farm wind
breaks plantings can be made suc
cessful. Lack of adequate protection,
poor spacing and failure to utilize
water conservation measures have
been largely responsible for most of
the failures to establish successful
windbreaks, the farmers replied to a
questionnaire sent them through the
offices of agricultural agents. All
have planted Clarke-McNary seed
lings and transplants distributed by
the Agricultural Extension Service.
"The results clearly show that too
many evergreens are lost by lack of
protection from the hot sun and
winds during the first summer," Max
well declared in summing up the re
plies. "Planting in the nursery row
for two years before transplanting
to the windbreak is an advisable
practice. Shade and protection fo
the trees can be had by tacking bur
lap strips on stakes on the south
side of the trees."
Many windbreaks have not been
too successful, the survey showed, be
cause the trees have been planted too
close together. Wider spacing, 12 to
20 feet between rows, and a moderate
spacing of trees in the rows depend
ing upon the species . will help in
growing the trees. Clean cultivation
to conserve moisture and keep weeds
out of the planting was also brought
out as important factors in establish
ing farm windbreaks.
Forester Maxwell says Nebraska
farmers are taking much better care
of their Clarke-McNary seedling this
year than ever before and are anxious
to learn more about recommended
growing practices. He estimates that
75 per cent of the million trees plant
ed on farms throughout the state
last spring have survived the sum
mer and will go into the winter In
good shape.
What About Adults T
No one questions the importance of
M-I-I-I-I-I-
good food habits for children, but
what about adults? All too often
they feel there is little necessity for
having regular meals, and when there
are no children in the family, well
planned ones seem entirely too much
work.
. The right or wrong food makes as
much difference in the pep and en
ergy of adults as of children. The
"maintenance" of health for adults
requires essentially the same food ele
ments as the "building" of health
during childhood. No better plan for
the meals of a family, regardless of
its make-up, can be found than that
of using generously the two groups
of foods; milk and its products, and
fruits and vegetables.
If meals are. planner around these
foods, other articles can be chosen
largely according to personal taste
and the amount of food allowance.
Rabbit Repellents.
The Bureau of Biological Survey
reports success with the salt-strychnine
bait to kill rabbits which are
damaging young trees, etc. The for
mula 13 one ounce of powdered strych
nine alkaloid, three pounds of table
salt and one pound of corn meal.
These three dry ingredients are thor
oughly mixed. .For exposure of this
preparation cut a 2 x 4 in 4 inch
lengths and in one side bore a 2
inch hole inch deep. Fll the holes
with the mixture and place the blocks
about every two rods along the rab
bits' regular trails. These blocks
should be exposed where they will not
be accessible to stock.
This poisoned bait does not, accord
ing to the bureau, give spectacular
kills, but if the blocks are kept filled
with the poison mixture they are
continually on the job and when the
material is taken it removes many
rabbits from an area.
A number of other repellents,
which do not kill the rabbits but keep
them away from the trees, such as
sulphonated linseed oil, Resin-fish
Oil-Copper Soap may be used with
good success. These formulas may
be obtained at the Farm Bureau of
fice upon request.
Sweet Potatoes.
Because sweet potatoes are plenti
ful this fall, they will be inexpensive
during the coming winter. The lower
cost will be welcomed by families who
like them, and those who have not
used them will be interested in know
ing what health protection they can
get from this vegetable.
Sweet potatoes are higher in energy
than white potatoes and the deep
yellow varieties are very rich in vita
min A, a factor almost .lacking In
white potatoes. Since sweet potatoes
contain less of the blood-building
iron, however, green leafy vegetables
or other iron-rich foods should be
served with them, to compensate for
this deficiency.
The sweetness Is likely to cause one
to tire of them if used too frequently,
but whn included in the menu once
or twice a week in place of potatoes,
they give variety in both flavor and
health-protective qualities.
