Temperatures
Soar as Crops,
People Suffer
Friday Sees 107 and Temperature for
Night Remains Over 90 to
Cause Great Suffering.
One of the most severe heat spells
of the summer swept over the middle
west Friday to cause heavier loss to
the rapidly wasting crops and bring
ing untold suffering to the residents
of all parts of the state. Grand Island
with 117 degrees was within one de
gree of the all time record in that
part of the state.
In this city and nearby territory
the mercury rose to 107 and Friday
night registered one of the hottest
nights in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant of this part of the west.
At midnight the thermometer stood
at 9S degrees and at.no time dur
ing the night or early morning fell
below the 90 mark. At 8 o'clock the
mercury had risen to 101 and at noon
had mounted to 108 and still climb
ing. Accompanying the intense heat of
Friday was the hot and burning
winds that kept their force well into
the night and made rest an impos
sibility under the most favorable cir
cumstances. Very little hope of relief is felt
for this part of the west that has suf
fered from almost a month of the
heat that has been practically over
the 100 mark every day.

BUDWEISERS WIN FROM CARDS
Last evening the Budwelsers turn
ed back the Cardinals in the local
kitty ball league by a score of 12 to
7 before a large crowd of perspiring
heat infested fans at Athletic park.
. The Buds opened in the first frame
with a bid for victory when Gib Hirz,
leadoff man, was safe on an error and
scored on the double of McCarthy,
who also registered when Rolfe hit
safe.
The big inning of the Buds was in
the second when they massed half of
their total scores In a six run rally,
largely due to' errors with a double
by Brittain and singles by Newman
and Rolfe to help out.
The Cardinals had their big
moment in the fourth inning when
they massed four runs on the Buds,
these all being through the hit and
run method and with home runs by
Ileim and Davis, a double by Speck,
singles by J. Kaffenberger, E. Mei
singer, and Lohnes.

HONOR FORMER TEACHER
From Saturday's Dally:
Last evening the patrons and
pupils of the Center Valley school,
district No. 21, near Weeping Water,
tendered a miscellaneous shower in
honor of Mrs. Arlie Christensen, for
merly Miss Elinore Smetana, teacher
in the school.
Mr3. Ernest Bates was chairman of
the committee in charge of ar
ranging the very delightful event and
in which over fifty of the residents
of the community participated.
One of the features of tho evening
was the mock wedding and which
was participated in by the members
of the Jolly party and was enjoyed to
the utmost by the large group.
In honor of her marriage Mrs.
Christiansen received a large number
of very beautiful and useful gifts
that will serve as reminders of the
many friends in this lovely and
friendly community.
Dainty rsfreshments of home made
ice cream and cake and iced tea
served to complete the pleasant even
ing.

Stores Feed a
Year - and Then
Forgets It
E. J. Wetenkamp, Lancaster Fanner,
Thus Makes Sure of Supply
for Next Season.
E. J. Wetenkamp, Lancaster farm
er a few miles east of Lincoln, has
found one way to avert a serious im
mediate feed shortage. He stores feed
ahead one year and then forgets
about it.
Feed conservation by means of the
trench silo is at least temporarily
beating the drouth for this farmer,
as it is for thousands of others over
the state. Right now he has a 100
ton trench filled with palatable live
stock feed which his 60 head of
dairy animals and others will relish.
He put the feed in last year and for
got about it.
The silo has remained unopened
until this week. An upright, with a
capacity of about 120 tons, was filled
last year. Now it ' is about empty
Pastures are gone. There will prob
ably be no more alfalfa this year.
The silage will come to the rescue.
It took from 36 to 40 acres to fill
the silo last year. The corn contained
but little grain, but is expected to
make excellent feed for the animals.
So short was the born that it was
cut with a binder, then run thru an
ensilage cutter and put into the
trench.
Wetenkamp believes in silage as
a livestock feed. He has used it for
years. Uprights are better in some re
spects than trenches but in case of
emergency, the latter can be con
structed rapidly and cheaply, he says.
By use of a fresno, a team of horses
and one man and a boy this trench
was built in 1934 at an estimated
cost of $12 to $16. Today it holds
100 tons of choice ensilage. Last fall
Wetenkamp was offered $4 a ton for
the feed. Today he is happy that he
did not sell.

ALMOST BAD ACCIDENT
On Tuesday morning Norval Both

ceived a terrific thump on the head

BY JEAN ALLEN
International Illustrated News
Feature Writer
Hollywood The odd3 are distinctly
against tall stately women succeding
as act.-csses in Hollywood, judging
by n recent suivey of heights and
weights of leading screen stars.
Not only is this true, but it seems
that smaller .women are favored for
featured ro!c3 while their sisters in
the chorus are usually a bit taller and
and a bit heavier.
There doesn't seem to be any defi
nite reason for the petite and dim
inutive type standing a better chance
of celluloid success. One factor which
may contribute to the situation is the
general smallncss of the male stars.
The numerous leading men are who
are five feet six inches or less make it
necessary to cast them with leading
ladies who are . one or two inches
shorter.
It is also true that a chornie shows
to better advantage if she is about

basement Saturday afternoon.
Quite a large crowd was present
and a very pleasant afternoon was
enjoyed by all. The honor guest re

The committee in charge served
delicious refreshments.
Fishing at Memphis
Many from this vicinity are tak

Memphis. A goodly number drive
over on Saturday afternoon or even

for a fine Sunday dinner, enough for

Camera Adds oundage
Fifty chorus girls in the cast of one
current musical averaged five feet fiive
and one half inches in height and 118
pounds in weight. The average holds
for most of those who sing and dance
"in the line" of Hollywood musical
shows.
Chorus girls range in height from
five feet two inches and 103 pounds to
five feet seven inches and 126 pounds.
One reason why the young ladies of
somewhat larger proportions are less
likely to succeed is because of the tend
ency of the camera to exaggerate size.
Even the most willowy of feminine
stars take on a few pounds under the
