bash. There are some 2,000 bushels of
good 1933 crop seed corn stored in
the Wabash elevator which were

is a marked shortage of seed over the
country and the price is very good

after his seed interests and especially
the seed corn which he has stored in
the Wabash elevator and is unable to
move just now on account of the
shortage in cars.

Car Shortage in Wabash
With some 2,000 bushels of seed
corn stored in the Wabash elevator ;
and a number having just completed I
tVi shll?Tip- nf thpir last vear corn i
crop, the elevator building is filled to
its full capacity. Cars for shipping
the grain are rather scarce just now,
and a congested condition has arisen
that prevents the taking in of any
more grain at this time. However, it
is hoped to have this corrected Boon
and be able to handle all the grain
that may be offered.
Applied a New Method
Clarence and Albert Rueter, two
young men with latent ingenuity that
has beenjWaiting only an opportun
ity for development, found the occa
sion last week . and made the most of i
it. Having a lot of large wood to
saw, and two saws to do it with, they
starting their cross cut Baw3 at the
proper place for two lengths of stove
wood and made both cuts at the same
time, one pulling in one direction on
one of the saws, while the other was
pulling the saw in the opposite di
rection
They found it about as easy
as operating a single saw.
There is an old saying that the
way to get a thing done is by all pull-
ing together, but when it come3 to

Has Relic 86 Years Old
M. V. Wood was showing the
writer a copy of Harper's Weekly
Magazine which was the initial vol
ume running from June, 1850, to
November of the same year. This
volume, covering the first six months
of the issuance of the magazine, wa
bound in one volume, and while is
is 8 6 years of age. was in a good
state of preservation and contains il
lustrations which compare very fav-
orably with those in the magazines ol
todav.
Tractor Got Afire
While Carl Schlaphoff was shell
ing corn at the M. V. .Woods farm,
the engine got pretty hot and cough
ed for cooling fluid, throwing a hor.
oil spray over the outside. Immedi
ately the tractor was ablaze.
Mr. Schlaphoff and W. H. McBride,
who were at the tractor, grabbed a
couple of scoops and began throwing
dirt over the blaze. Others came from
the crib to aid them and soon the
flame was extinguished with no dam
age other than the oil that was lost.
After the engine had cooled off, the
dirt was removed from it and they
were able to proceed with the work.
Air. oods was having the corn
delivered to the Wabash elevator by
Ray Gamlin with his fleet of trucks.

Defines New
Racket in Arrest
of Motorists
Attorney General Wright Asks That
Probe of a Justice Conrt in So.
Omaha Be Made.
Upon complaints alleging that Jus-
Jtice of the Peace Walter Baker of
jScuth Omaha, in Sarpy county, has
; violated certain laws, including the
I remission of fine3 against motorists
!if costs are paid, a practice which
Attorney General Wright says might
furnish "enrichment to the justice of
the peace and the constable" and
vould be "nothing more nor less than
a racket." Wright has asked Coun
ty Attorney Ralph J. Nickerson at
Papillion to investigate. If he finds
the charges are true, it would be his
duty to bring action against Baker
to compel him to pay over to the
county the lines which it is charged
he has levied and suspended, and in
addition file action for removal 01
the justice of the peace from office.
The attorney advises suit, not under
the statute giving the governor pow
er to suspend and remove law en
forcing officials, but under a section
which applies to justices of the peace
and others and provides courts may
impose a fine and order removal.
The attorney general promises to
co-operate in such cases, lie has also
vritten Baker concerning the charges
jwith citations from the law alleged
to have been violated. The charges
are:
That the justice of the peace does
not keep any docket of cases tried
by him.
That he has failed to make reports
required by law relating to cases
tried.
That he has failed to pay to the
county treasurer fines levied by him
in criminal cases.
That he has suspended fines upon
payment of costs.
That he has levied excessive fees
under the guise of costs.
It is charged, said the attorney
general, that Eaker and his constable
have carried on a business of whole
sale arrests of motorists, that the
constable makes the arrests, com
plaints are filed and upon a plea or
finding of guilty a fine and costs
are assessed and that Baker then sus
pends the fine upon payment of costs.
The attorney general said no jus
tice of the peace has authority to sus
pend or remit a fine. This is a right
granted solely to the pardon board.
This plan, which would "enrich" the
justices and the constable, the attor
ney general says, would be nothing
more nor less than a racket.
"It is impossible to condemn such
a racket too severely," he said, "for
the reason that the very machinery
which has been set up to punish vio
lations of the law would be used to
perpetrate a fraud upon the people
of the state."
The attorney general said it is
charged that Baker charges an at
tendance fee of $1 for attendance
in court whether or not the case
run3 over one day, and charges a
SI docketing fee. If he keeps no
docket, the attorney general holds
he is not entitled to make this charge.
He asks Baker to advise him whether
the charges are true.
CRITICIZES STUDENT ATMS
Emporia, Kas. William Allen
White, Emporia editor, said most col
leges these days are turning out
pretty poor stuff." Addressing
alumni and faculty members of
church related colleges of Kansas,
White said the trouble with higher
education was that too many young
people view a college as a training
school for success.
"The kind of men and women the
state colleges and most of the other
great colleges are turning out today
is pretty poor stuff." White said the
trouble was with material which "is
fed into the state colleges."
"Young women and young men go
to the great universities, not to learn
the truth, not to gain that serenity
of vision which makes for inner joy
and happiness. They go to college as
a training school for success; to get
on, to learn table manners, to join a
fraternity or sorority and get social
prestige, to know how to wear their
clotes, trim their hair and raise their
voices in raucous yells in the sta
dium." CUT WPA FORCES
Beatrice, Neb. Orders have been
received here to reduce Gage county's
quota of WPA workers to 537 work
ers by the end of March. More than
600 now are at work. Reductions
must continue, according to the state
office order, until only 2S7 are at
work by July 1.

Sow Spinach
for Fast Growth
Plant in Rows and Thin to
Inches Apart Rich, Mel
low Soil Best.
Six
One of the first spring operations
in the vegetable garden is sowing the
seed of spinach. Thi3 fast-growing,
hardy edible can be put into the
ground as soon as the soil drains
enough so that it can be worked,
and will be ready for the table with
the earliest radishes and the leaf
lettuce.
But a "crop of spinach doesn't
ay," say a few housewives. Let them
grow a crop of the new, spinach and
find out for themselves, for the new
thick-leaved varieties are as far su
perior from the ordinary run of the
garden types which are found on the
market, that they are almost entire
ly new vegetables.
Like many other vegetables, spin
ach must be given the attention
which only the amateur with a small
garden can give it. The old-time
method of broadcasting seed as If
sowing a lawn and letting the plants
shift for themselves never gave the
best results and is even worse for
the heavier leaved types than it was
for the old time skimpy types.
For best results plant in rows,
thin to 6 inches apart, an deach spin
ach plant will produce a huge rosette
of leaves. By this method the plant
can be made to do triple duty by cut
ting the leaves and letting it grow
more, instead of pulling it up bodily
as is usually the custom, thus limit
ing each plant to a single crop.
Make the soil as mellow and rich
as possible for spinach. It is a short
season crop and all short season crops
must make speedy growth to produce
best results. Warm sandy soil which
has been well supplied with plant
food is ideal for a good stand. Culti
vation speeds the growth.
Spinach seed can be sown just as
soon as the soil is in condition, re
gardless of late frosts. It can even
be sown in the fall and allowed to
come up in the spring as soon as ger
minating weather arrives. Get the
seed in early, thin the plants care
fully, cultivate, and fertilize with 4
pounds of complete plant food for
every 100 square feet of area, and
you will have a surprising yield of
real greens.
Make sure you buy one of the new
types. Some are more heat resistant
than others. If you have light warm
soil or a southern slope to your gar
den where it gets the full force of
the sun the better heat-resisting
types will be best for you.
RETAIL PURCHASES GAIN
New York. While flood conditions
interfered with the normal flow of
trade in various regions, retail vol
ume for the country as a whole dur
ing the past week ran 18 to 20 per
cent ahead of the corresponding
eriod last year, Dun & Bradstreet re
ported in their weekly business sum
mary. Easter buying gained momen
tum, and wholesale markets turned
more active as merchants in flood
areas were forced to make heavy re
placements of ruined stockB, it was
stated.

Olson Asks a
Limit on Term
on High Court
Minnesota Governor Would Hold Jus
tices to Ten Year's Service
Favors Third Party.
St. Paul. Slashing political foes
with his oldtime vigor, Gov. Olson
invited formation of a national third
patry and proposed to the state farmer-labor
convention federal govern
ment ownership of business with a
check rein on "despotic powers" of
the supreme court. Reiterating de
mands fo ra changed economic sys
tem based on need rather than profit,
the party's avowed candidate for the
U. S. senate and self-styled radical,
suggested a constitutional amend
ment creating social security pro
grams, an NRA, and nationwide pub
lic ownership.
To attain this objective, the gov
ernor declared: "I am willing to Join
with other groups in formation of a
third party movement thruout the
United States. In my opinion that
party could well run candidates for
,the v g senate and house, but on the
question of going further In 1936
that is a question for you, not for
me."
Buttressed by lengthy argument,
in which he quoted Chief Justice
Hughes as saying "the constitution
is what the judges say it is," Gov.
Olson urged a ten year term for
judges of the supreme court -and
the "200 judicial satraps who preside
over the inferior federal courts."
"Independence of the despotic fed
eral judiciary without check is the
equivalent of dictatorship," said the
governor, who departed from his pre
pared speech to declare: "After the
supreme court held in the AAA that
the imposition of the processing tax
was illegal, they said it was legal for
those who collected the illegal tax
to kee pit. Here is the classic of
the century."
JOLLY WORKERS CLUB
The Jolly Workers club met on
March 27th at the home of Mrs. Fred
Buchler. This being the last meet
ing of the year, a short business
meeting and election of officers was
held. The meeting was then turned
over to the leaders. The lesson for
the month was "Flowers for Every
Yard." How and when to plant and
care for them. This proved very in
teresting as time is here for planting
of flowers. A handsome gift was
presented to each leader by the club
president for the year's work, in
which they proved very capable lead
ers.
The club members regretted that
their term had expired. A delicious
lunch was served by Mrs. Fred
Tschirren, Mrs. Roy Tschirren and
Mrs. Fred Buchler.
Those elected for the club offict.-s
were: President, Mrs.' Richard Liv
ingston; vice-president, Mrs. Fred
Buchler; Secretary-treasurer, Mrs.
Max Vallery; social leader, Mrs. Wal
lace Warner; reporter. Mrs. Edgar

HOW TO BE GOOD TEACHER
The two factors most needed for
successful teaching are the desire to
succeed and the will to work, in the
opinion of Miss Agnes Samuelson,
president of the National Education
al association and superintendent of
public instruction for the state of
Iowa, who addressed a group of
teachers at a convocation in the Tem
ple Friday morning at Lincoln. Dean
F. E. Henzlik of teachers college of
the University of Nebraska presided
and introduced the speaker brought
to Lincoln by the university in co
operation with the Nebraska Prin
cipals and Superintendents associa
tion.
Miss Samuelson emphasized the
necessity of acquiring the right atti
tude on the part o the instructor,
not only to the profession but to the
community.
"It is just as important that you
teach well in the country school as
in the city," she declared. "Young
students soon find out when you're
just trying to get by. If you would
attract state wide and even national
attention to your school, just remem
ber to do the common thing uncom
monly well."
She gave the following recipe for
successful teaching in rural schools:
Learn to instruct, to manage seat
work and to manage the playground.
Later in the afternoon she addresseo
members of the faculty on problems
of teacher training.
COLD ENDS LN CALIFORNIA
Kansas City. Springlike weather
inched back into the west as Cali
fornia packers estimated 20 percent
of some early fruit crops had been
lost in a three day frost. It was
clear In the "blow lands" of Okla
homa, visited by intermittent dust
storms for the past several days and
temperatures over most of the region
were rising slowly.
The three day cold wave in the
California fruit valleys broke as
moisture laden clouds drifted down
from the northwest. Wet snows and
rains were in prospect as a parting
thrust from winter.
There wa3 a prospect cf more snow
peratures generally were ris.ng alter
unseasonally low readings.
A belated spring blizzard raged
across northwestern Montana, bury
ing parts of Glacier and Flathead
national parks under nearly two feet

eight degrees above zero was reported
there.
PICKETS CHARGE WORKERS
New York. Blackjacks and bricks
served as weapons when 200 striking
radio workers and 'non-striking em
ployes clashed in a Greenwich village
street. A shot also was fired in the
15 minute encounter, which resulted
in the arrest and injury of several.

To the Voters of Cass and Sarpy Counties :
I am soliciting your support at the Primary Elec
tion APRIL 14, 1936.
As I was born and raised on a farm in Cass county,
and having been engaged in farming for a number of
years myself and since 1916 have operated a lumber
yard at Murray. I have been continuously in close
contact with the people of small town communities,
throughout an agricultural section of the state. I be
lieve I am in a position to know the struggle that is
being made by the taxpayer.
Having this experience and serving in the last two
sessions of the Legislature, during one of the most crit
ical times in the history of the state.
As my voting record will show and most especially
in the last session 'when I served as Chairman of the
Finance Committee, and the actual figures will prove, I
stood for ECONOMY ,in every State Department, and
for a reduction wherever possible, but not to the point
to hinder efficient operation, and for conservative leg
islation. For your consideration, I will quote the following
figures from property tax for all purposes: The request
of all State Departments was for $15,243,615.52. The
Governor recommended $11,616,064.00. Your Chair
man recommended $11,550,453.85 a saving of nearly
four million dollars from the amount requested.
The peak year for all taxes was 1926, when the
total reached $66,028,255.00, and declining in the year
1935 to $43,878,947.00 making a reduction in the
cost of state government of $22,149,308.09.
If you approve of my record, I agin solicit your
support on Primary Election day.
