the guests walked up the railroad

being confined so closely to the home
fireside during the past month of sub
zero weather.

ed to their home in Denver after a

Like a crowd of school children af
ter a summer shower, a number of
the business men of Union got out on
the street the first of the week when
the snow really began to thaw and
run down the street in rivulets, and
spent a most enjoyable mid-day half
hour playing in the slush and water,
damming the water up and then let
ting the dams go out so the current
would sweep all the remaining slush
down the hill with it.
Renewing Efforts Twin-Fold
During the prolonged cold weath
er, when there was no school and
very little traffic, with farmers shut
off from mail service and unable to
get far from their home firesides,
tcrvicc3 at the Methodist church and
Eibie school were dispensed with for
a time. Nov, with the return of
better weather and the re-opening of
the reads, a redoubled effort will be
made to regain interest and attend
ance at both church services and
the weekly Bible school sessions, we
are advised by Lee Farris, who is one
of the very earnest church and Bible
school workers.
Promoting Picture Show
Elton Legge, Frank Lelli and Bob
Spanley, of Council Bluffs, were here
Monday making arrangements for
the opening of a picture show here,
to be operated one night a week.
They have leased the Modern Wood
men hall for this purpose and will
give their first show on Saturday
night of this coming week.
To Build New Cafe Here
John Fitzpatrick, the restaurant
man, has purchased a lot just west
of the Morris grocery store and be
gun the excavation of a basement
thereon. He expects to erect a cafe
building there, 22 feet in width by
50 feet in depth, rushing the work
forward to completion as rapidly as
the weather will permit. This will
give him ample room in which to in
stall one of the finest cafes in this
part of the state.
Mr. Fitzpatrick has faith in Union
as a business location and is demon
strating it by the erection of this
new building to house his business.
We are sure he will succeed, as he
well deserves to.
The new building will be con
structed of wood, fashioned along
modern lines and add to the appear
ance of the street and town in gen
eral, as well as provide the eating
public with the appointments of a
splendid restaurant.
Will Locate at Murray.
The Patrons of the Lincoln Tele
phone Co. of this place were greatly
surprised and sorely grieved when
they learned that Mrs. Yesta Clark,
chief operator-cashier, who has served
them so long and faithfully, and
with whom they have always sus
tained most pleasant relations, is to
be transferred to Murray where she
will serve that exchange in the same
capacity as at Union. This transfer
which will be consumated in a few
days, is occasioned, we are told, by
the company's contemplated change
in the form of service to bo furnish

from our village will be regretted by
the many friends she has made while
serving the community as telephone

Visiting at Union.
Mr. and Mrs. John Carper of Den
ver who have been spending several
weeks with Mrs. Carper's sister, Mrs.
Henry Rhuman who has been ill for
some time, were welcome callers at
the home of Mrs. Fannie Eikenbary
one afternoon of last week where
they enjoyed a reminiscent visit with
Mrs. Eikenbary and her sister, Mrs.
Joe T. Carper, covering a period of
about thirty years, that being the
time elapsed since they were last as
sociated together. Needless to say
there were some changes in each due
to the intervenrng years, yet they
were still recognizable to each other.
In tracing the relationship of the
Carpers it was found that John Car
per was a second cousin of Mrs. J. T.
Carper's husband, Jasies Carper, de
ceased, both cf whom lived on ad
joining farms north of Union before
they each sold their farm3 and moved
from this state.

dwindled to $2,034,403,292, the mule
shows up on State Tax Commission
er Smith's reports as an army con
sisting of 53,839, with an assessed
valuation of $3,282,255, an average
of $60.96 a head, as compared with
an average of $43.61 In 1933.
It is nip and tuck between Gage
and Otoe county in mules. Otoe,
being nearer Missouri, home of the
mule, leads with 2,395 head, worth
to the assessor $72.30 each. Gage
has 2,230, averaging $65.15. Lan
caster county is third with 1.S78
head averaging $61. S7.
Hogs, cattle and horses are classi
fied with dogs in the official records.
The assessors found SS3.009 hogs in
the state and valued them at $7,
553,969, or an average of $8.55 each,
and got away with it except when
the chop3 are sold over the counter.
Cuming leads in number with 34,369
hogs, assessed at $277,305, average
$8, but Burt leads in value with 2S,
053 head assessed at $285,940 or
$10.19 each. Grant county does not
care much for raising its own hogs.
It had for taxation only 240 head,
the lowest in the state, assessed at
$6.50 each.
Dogs no longer appear on the state
records in number. They are turned
in in bulk with a valuation from
each county, Lancaster leading with
$55,435, while Douglas harbors only
$20,590 worth. All the dogs in the
state are worth $1,275,400, not ac
cording to their oVners' idea3 but the
assessor's. Gage county appears long
on dogs with $36,255 estimated
value.
More Horses in Custer.
Custer county, which is four times
as large as the ordinary county but
much smaller than Cherry county,
leads with 19,177 horses assessed at
$597, S67 or $31. IS a head. Cherry
has 16,450 head valued at $512,545
or $31.21 a head. Total number of
horses assessed in the state is 562,
S51, total value $21,701,550 or

The number was less than at any
time since 1933 but the average value
per head was noly $17.3 4 in that
year.
Goods and merchandise on hand
in the state totals $37,562,668. Doug
las county leads with $10,916,415,

$275,070. Every county in the state
has "typesetting machines, etc."
No Movies in 8 Counties.
Eight counties have no moving pic

the state is $355,977 valuation. Doug
las leads with $138,200, Lincoln
county second with $14,275, Lan
iaster with $5,990.
Banner rounty people displayed
only $15 worth of jewelry and dia
monds. Lancaster county people let
the assessor list them for $20S,855,
which tops the list. Douglas county
people do not brag much about dia
monds when the assessor comes. He
found only $136,403 worth of jew
elry and diamonds in the entire
county.
Arthur county people depend most
ly on sun time. They reported 6nly
seven watches and clocks. Douglas
county people have 6,700 watches and
clocks to look at when they want to
know whether It i3 time to go out
for refreshments or for other pur
poses. Lancaster people get along
with 5,315, valued at $69,280. Doug
las time pieces are listed at only $33,

1 Cass County Farm J
f Bureau Notes
Copy furnished from Office
of County Agent Wainscott
Some Corn Germination Poor.
Germination tests run at the Farm
Bureau office on some samples of
1933 and 1935 corn are varied from
20 to 100 percent.
Some old corn of the 1935 crop
that germinated better than 90 per
cent last fall shows a germination
now of less than 50 percent.
This unusual situation should make
farmers alert to test all seed corn as
soon as possible.
A good way to take a sample is to
select 100 ears at random through
the crib. From the ears pick two
kernels from each. Then run two
tests of 100 kernels each. One will
be a check on the other. The 100
ears that the sample is taken from
should be laid aside as some selection
may be done from them if the test is
slightly lower than desired.
Where this method has been tried,
with a resultant germination of 80
percent, a careful study of ear type
may show that the big rough ears
were dead and their removal brought
the germination to above 90 per
cent.
Some cribs that are running as low
as 25 percent, crib run, can be pick
ed over and enough good ears can
be found that will germinate 95 per
cent or better to make sufficient seed
for two or three farms.
The extremely smooth small ear
with a solid feel is the type to pick
to get a high germination.
The Farm Bureau office is equip
ped to run tests and farmers are en
couraged to bring or mail samples in
at their first opportunity. The re
sults will be kept on file so that any
one having a surplus of seed can be
referred to these that will want to
buy seed.
Samples that are sent in should
give the name of the grower, address,
uumber of ears the kernels were
taken from, variety of the corn, year
grown, th eamount for sale, and price,
and if the sample is crib run or ear
selected.
Grasshoppers Not Killed
by Low Temperatures.
If you think the heavy snow and
extreme cold weather has killed off
all insects, you are wrong. At least
O. S. Bare, extension entomologist at
the Nebraska college of agriculture,
says nothing could be farther from
the facts.
"The deep snows form almost per
fect protection for the pests and both
insects and unhatched eggs are lying
safe and sound under the thick warm
blanket," Bare says. "Insects or eggs
that have been exposed in the open
to extreme cold of the past few weeks
may in some cases have been injured
or even killed by the long continued
low temperatures but probably 90
per cent of the insect pests and their
eggs are safe under the protecting
snows."
A survey made last fall, the ento
mologist says, showed grasshopper
eggs are safe in the upper couple of
inches of soil and there seems to be
little danger of weather conditions
injuring them; particularly while
thy are protected by snows. A cold,
wet month of May followed by
warmth with plentiful moisture in
June and early July would be much
more unfavorable to grasshoppers
than the present weather.
Except in a few small and scat
tered localities, very little trouble
from chinch bugs and Hessian fly is
expected in Nebraska in 1936. Neith
er were plentiful last year.
Pasture Contest evelopments.
Snow blocked and practically im
passable country roads have caused
cancellation of proposed crops and
pasture meetings in Cass county but
have not decreased interest and en
thusiasm in the 1936 statewide pas
tine improvement contest.
The 1938 contest, wherein $1,500
will be awarded in prizes, was to be
officially opened here with the hold
ing of farm gatherings., However,
with weather conditions making this
impossble farmers are being urged to
get detailed information about the
contest at the office of the agricul
tural agent.
The adverse weather changes our
plans for the meetings but does not
mean that we will not support the
pasture contest. If it is impossible
for producers to get to town, they
might drop a penny postcard in the
mail box asking for detained infor
mation. A large supply of circulars, done
up in attractive color and describing
the contest in detail as well as an
swering pertinent questions regard
ing pasture management, has just
been received at the county farm bu
reau office. Farmers may get copies

A Neglected Habit.
An advertisement for a well-known
laxative claims such extravagant
numbers of purchasers that one is
appalled to think how large a pro
portion of the population must be
suffering from constipation.
Meals eaten hurriedly with one eye
on the clock; rushing for school
such habits upset regularity and
cause a nervous tension that may de
lay digestion and fail to stimulate
natural peristalsis.
An improvement in health habits,
including the drinking of an ade
quate amount of water, balanced
meals, enough sleep at night to pre
vent excessive fatigue, getting up in
time to allow proper attention to reg
ular toilet habits, and a little slow-ing-down
of one's daily routine, is
usually found helpful in preventing
constipation.
Those who have omitted breakfast,
or limit it to only a cup of coffee,
may find that taking a small glass
of orange juice or a dish of cooked
fruit and eating one or two slices of
toast in the morning, is effective in
establishing regularity, too.
Increased Interest in 4-H.
Judging from the large number of
cards received, in answer to ques
tionnaires sent out on 4-H, there is
an increased interest among boys and
girls to carry club projects this year.
A standard 4-H club requires only
five members, boys and girls, between
the ages of 10 and 20 years, with a
local leader in charge. Each club
project has its own special require
ments which gives the boy or girl
practical training in agriculture or
home economics. Club meetings pro
vide parliamentary training, subject
matter discussion, demonstrations,
judging and recreation, all of which
helps to make a well-rounded pro
gram. Baby beef, swine, poultry and gar
den clubs should be organized right
away. In fact, March is the ideal time
for all club organization. The home
economics projects this year are
"Meal Planning and Preparation,"
"The Room a Place to Live" and
"Learning to Sew" with "Canning"
as an optional.
Application blanks and detailed in
formation are available at the Farm
Bureau office. The extension agents
will be glad to assist with organiz
ation metings, if desired.
