JAIL TEEM FOR HOAGLAND
Omaha. William B. Iloagland, jr.,
whose driving cxpoits have earned
him the title of Wild Bill, pleaded
guilty to second offense drunken driv
ing charges and was sentenced to 135
days in county jail. Hoagland's li
cense was revoked for one year by
Judge Yeager. Previous to being sen
tenced, however, Iloagland volun
tarily promised the court lie would
not drive a car again for a period of
five years.
Iloagland was accused of running
down and seriously injuring a pedes
trian named Dorberker. A few
moments later hi3 car crashed into
the rear of another machine. He
had twice before been convicted of
drunken driving, but on one occasion
the sentence was revoked upon his
promise to go to Arizona for his
health. A third offense charge would
have placed him in Jeopardy of a
prison sentence.
Persistency Is what counts most

Another State Pasture Contest.
Nebraska's 1936 pasture Improve
ment contest, is open to all Cass
county farmers. 11,500 in prizes go
to winners.
Again designed to show the way
to better pasture and grazing land
management, the 1936 contest is
sponsored by the Nebraska College of
Agriculture, the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, Nebraska Crop Growers'
Association and the Nebraska Live
stock Breeders' Association.
A state committee composed of P.
II. Stewart, Elvin F. Frolik, F. D.
Keim, W. V. Derrick, M. N. Lawrit
son, Val Kuska and D. L. Gross is to
act in an advisory capacity on the
contest details and procedure. Stew
art is chairman of the group. Frolik
will supervise the state contest for
the committee.
Pasture committees will be set up
in each county which will have
charge of all local details. The coun
ty agricultural agent in each in
stance will serve as secretary of the
group.
Trophies, ribbons and cash prizes
go to the winners. The ten highest
ranking contestants in the state get
cash prizes of $50, $40, $30. $20. $10,
$5, $5, $5, $5, $5. A silver trophy
goes to the highest ranking contest
ant in each county finishing 10 or
more contestants get additional cash
awards.
Cass county farmers have until
April 1 to f.le their entry in the
statewide contest. The 1936 contest
is :iot divided into three divisions as
last year but rather all participants
compete in one class. Winner3 will
be named on the basis of thsir pas
ture program and detailed plans nub
n.iited a report of pasture operations
and management and actual results
o their pasture programs.
Entry blanks will be in the hands
of the agricultural agent soon.
Finicky Eaters.
Does your child have a "finicky
appetiet?" Refuse to drink his milk?
Push away his cereal? Rebel at vege
tables? Is it your fault or the
child's?
Overanxious parents are frequently
responsible for poor eating habits in
Children. Refusal of food is cftea a
means of getting the special atten
tion a child desires. When he learn3
that there i3 no more concern when
he refuses food than when he eats
it, and that when lunch is over there
is no more food available till dinner,
even if he gets hungry, it is quite
likely that he will eat without ques
tion when the next mealtime comes.
Most children who are "finicky
caters" at home eat with enthusiasm
in a nursery school, where no child
in the group receives individual at
tention, and children in orphanages
seldom develop feeding problems.
Those in charge offer the children
only such foods as they should have,
serve meals at regular hours, and
leave the question of "how much" to
each child. Children differ greatly
in the amount of food needed, and
with a well-balanced meal set before
them their instincts in the matter of
quantity are usually to be trusted,
provided of course, their appetites
have not been jaded by over-indulgences
in sweets or other highly sea
soned foods.
Isn't it better to let a child mis3 a
meal than to force him to eat against
his will. Crying spells and temper
tantrums which follow the latter
method usually upset digestion and
do far more harm to a child than does
the omission of one meal.
When a child's meals are built
around milk, vegetables, fruits and
whole-grain cereals; when he gets
enough fresh air and play to stimu
late appetite; and enough rest and
sleep to promote growth and prevent
fatigue, it is seldom that he will be
a problem-eater.
A well-known psychologist (Wil
liam H. Burnham, Ph. 13. in "The
Normal Mind") says: "The instincts
of children are usually wholesome,
and as regards eating, drinking, and
play and sleep and the like, they
are usually more nearly right than
the overanxious parents."
Winter Vegetables.
Sauerkraut, retaining as it does
most of the good food qualities of
cabbage, is a wholesome vegetable
and usually inexpensive about 5
cents a pound. It is especially per
tinent to call it to mind at this season
of the year when fresh vegetables are
scarce.
It may be served cold, if one likes,
or cooked with meat and potatoes
Sauerkraut is a good source of vita
min C, but long cooking will tend
this health protective
oiialitv
- -
Eoth sauerkraut and sauerkraut
juice usually act as mild laxatives,
though long cooking with fat may
lead to indigestion.

Caps Scientist's Career.
More than 30 years ago a Depart
ment of Agriculture scientist sought
the cause of hog cholera, established
the fact that it leaves surviving ani
mals immune, and .'ater developed
anti-hog cholera serum.
The scientist was Dr. M. Dorset.
He died last July, but he left as a
monument to his persistent genius a
new vaccine crystal-violet which
the Bureau of Animal Industry has
just announced, and which, it be
lieves, may be the most satisfactory
product yet developed to light hog
cholera. A patent on crystal-violet
vaccine dedicated to the public wel
fare has been applied for.
Although crystal - violet vaccine
must be tested further, indications
are it will be not only as effective,
but cheaper and safer than the com
bination serium-and-virus treatment
now used.
Dr. Dorset studied the diseases of
many farm animals and developed
many products for their control. Eut
he was never fully content with his
cholera serium. Year after year he
and his staff worked for improve
ments in cholera prevention.
In recent years, they sought, par
ticularly, chemicals to mix with the
deadly virus which would destroy the
infective element and at the same ,
time preserve the protective element
that creates immunity to hog cholera.
They experimented with various sub
stances phenol, glycerin, formalin,
and other chemicals.
One of the last was crystal-violet,
a water-soluble dye. Dr. Dorset did
not live to test, to his full satisfac
tion, vaccine made with this product.
But his coworkers now announce
that, in their experiments with 200
pigs, crystal-violet vaccine has given
about 99 percent protection against
hog cholera.
Llore Steaks on the Way,
Eut Fewer Than Average.
More good beef will go to market
in the first 4 months of 1936 than in
the same months of 1935, if cattle
feeders carry out their first-of-year
plans, says the Bureau of Agricul
tural Economics.
But cattle in the feed lot at the
first of this year in the 11 corn belt
states numbered 25 to 30 percent
less than the 5-year average, altho
41 percent greater than last year,
the decrease in fattening cattle from
January 1, 1934, to January 1, 1935,
was the greatest ever recorded.
Feed-lot operations increased about
4S percent in the western corn belt
as compared to about 29 percent in
the eastern corn belt. Greatest per
centage increases were: South Da
kota, 220; Nebraska, 195; Missouri,
160; and Kansas, 110.
Cattle on feed in the 11 western
states, Texas and Oklahoma on Jan
uary 1 numbered 78 percent more
than those on feed a year ago and
nearly one-third larger than the aver
age for the 1 years, 19'0 to 1934.
Receive Club Week Awards.
Thelma Ward and John Ahrens,
both from Weeping Water, will at
tend 4-II club week at Lincoln, June
1st to 5th. These awards were made
for outstanding work in clothing and
swine projects in 1935.
Margie Ruth Pollard received a
three dollar cash award from Ball
Bros, for outstanding work in can
ning. These prizes, which are always
greatly appreciated, are a big incen
tive for more and better 4-H club
work. Now i3 the time to be think
ing seriously about your 1936 project.
Who knows, you may be a 1936 trip
winner.
Washington 4-H Trip Winners.
Nebraska's 1936 Four-H club cham
pions who will represent 18,000 rural
Cornhusker youths at the National
4-H camp held annually in Washing
ton in June were named this week,
Agricultural Agent D. D. Wainscott
has been notified, hey are Cora
Mae Briggs, Seward county; Mollie
Svoboda, Saunders county; Rex
Brown, Fillmore county; and Avera
Jesperson, Washington county.
Each year four Nebraska 4-II club
bers are selected for the national
camp. There they join with similar
youths from all other states in the
Union for a big week. Cass county
club members are eligible to compete
for the honor each year.
Mollie Svoboda comes from Weston
in Saunders county. For the past five
years .through her 4-H work, she has
done all of her own sewing. Prize
money won on 4-H exhibits went a
great distance toward paying for her
clothes.
Cora Mae Briggs is one of Nebras

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL
Legion By-Laws
for State Relief
Funds Changed
New Definition of Ex-Service Men
Is Included in the Re
cent Changes.
New by-laws of the American Le
gion, department of Nebraska, gov
erning disbursement of . the state
soldier relief fund, being proceeds
from interest on nearly 2 million dol
lars of state funds invested in bonds,
recently adopted by the state board
of educational lands and funds, con
tain some changes which Chief Clerk
R. G. Douglas of the relief commit
tee said were long since placed in
force but which had not been for
mally adopted by the state board,
which is trustee of the state relief
fund.
By law the state board is author
ized to designate the Legion organ
ization committee to disburse relief
to World war service men and nurses.
The state fund relief committee of
the legion is made up of three mem
bers, formerly appointed by the le
gion department executive commit
tee, but under the new by-laws ap
pointed by the department command
er with approval of the department
executive committee. Formerly the
by-laws required one of these three
to be designated as chairman, and the
latter to give bond in the sum of
$10,000. This is changed so that each
of the three give a $5,000 bond to be
deposited with the state board of
educational lands and funds.
The department commander, ad
jutant and finance officer are as be
fore desginated ex-officio members of
the state fund relief committee and,
as formerly, the finance officer of the
department gives a $10,000 bond.
The new by-laws make it plain that
the committee shall employ such as
sistants as are deemed necessary by
the committee and that the chief
clerk shall be secretary and shall give
bond as before in the sum of $10,000.
As before, relief shall be dispensed
to World war men, no distinction to
be made between members and non
members of any organization.
Relief as before is confined to ex
service persons bona fide residents
of Nebraska. The new by-laws add
"for two years or more immediately
prior to his making application for
aid except where the veteran's en
listment i3 credited to Nebraska."
Ex-service men l ire ; defined in the
new by-laws as "persons serving in
the armed forces of the United States
between the dates April G, 1917, and
Nov. 11, 1918, both date3 inclusive."
All relief, as before, shall be grant
ed thru the commander, adjutant or
service officer of the local post thru
which the application is made. A
new provision says such power shall
not be delegated to any person not
recognized as an honorably dis
charged World vvar veteran under
the act. A duty enjoined upon the
committee under the old rules, to
present meritorious cases of ex-ser-
vico men before the government bu
reaus, is continued in the new by
laws. Conscientious objectors aud per
sons not holding an honorable dis
charge are not eligible to state fund
relief under the old and new by-laws.

years and belonged to 51 different
