Hear From the West.
Cards from Idaho Falls, Idaho,
where the party of potato pickers
went last week is to the effect that
they are all at work, with Lyle Kru
ger doing the cooking and are get
ting six cents per bushel for picking
potatoes and are able to pick on the
average about 100 bushels a day. The
potatoes are yielding from 350 to 700
bushels the acre.

Clarence Peck, living on a farm
of W. A. Ost east of Avoca, had
some corn on exhibition at the Korn

which seemed entirely perfect, won
$2.50. This is not bad for a year
like this. In a spot which was shield
ed by some timber and being low
near the creek, Mr. reck had twenty
acres of corn which he is sure will
make 30 bushels to the acre. An
other farmer near Nehawka says he

of corn on 35 acres of land, but said

want some one to come and steal it.
Home From Cleveland.

to the American Legion convention
which they all enjoyed to the very
fullest. They were at the convention
for the full four days and started
home the day following.
Speaking of the trip Mr. Kruger
had to say that they found the coun
try very fine and crops very poor
through Iowa and half of Illinois,
but after passing Galesburg they
found the crops had picked up some
and from there on they found the
crops very good. During the greater
portion of the trip they had good
paved roads but in Ohio they found
the roads very rough and rutty.
Mr. Kruger who drove the last
fifty miles into Cleveland said they
were making 65 miles per hour and
a string of cars continually kept pass
ing them. Returning they stopped in
Chicago ovtr night and waited for a
time for the weather to clearup as it
was raining and finally started, rain
or no rain, and drove continually in
the rain until they got to Osceola,
Iowa where the storm stopped. They
tell of whiskey straight selling at
40c per drink and highballs at 50c.
They dropped in one restaurant and
were to be served for dinner and
when the bill of fare was examined
they found the lowest price was $1.40
for the meal, so they quietly got up
and walked out on the waiters.
All in all they had a wonderful
time. There was 750 from Nebraska
and 500,000 in all at the conven
tion. New Ministers in Pulpits.
The Rev. W. Lanker, pastor of

D wight Griswold
Visits City Today
for Meetings
Gives Short Street Address and Is
Guest of Honor at Luncheon
of Young Bepublicans.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Dwight Griswold, republican nom
inee for governor, was a visitor in
the city today where he held two
meetings, the first a street address at
the corner of Fifth and Main streets
and later as a speaker at the luncheon
at the Jacobs cafe, arranged by the
young republicans. 50 attended.
Mr. Griswold was met h?re by a
group of the prominent republicans
including Carl Tefft, of Avoca,
county chairman, C. E. ay, Frank
E. Woods, C. E. Tefft of Weeping
Water, O. A. Davis of Murray and
others.
In his street meeting Mr. Griswold
was presented by Searl S. Davis and
gave a short address over his public
address system.
Mr. Griswold attacked the state
handling of the highway department,
the old age pension and assistance
departments, maintaining that local
management was much better than
that of state or nation wide control.
He also demanded a full report of
the findings made of the state insti
tutions by eastern experts and which
the speaker claimed had been with
held by the present state administra
tion. Griswold pointed out that the pres
ent governor had a two-thirds demo
cratic majority in both houses and
that there was every reason to be
lieve that the work of the session
would be carried out efficiently and
quickly.
"But what kind of .a record did
they make?" he asked. "The 1935
legislature dragged on and on
through five long months until the
people thought they never would ad
journ. It was the longest and most
expensive legislative session in the
history of Nebraska. Later the leg
islators were called back for a spe
cial sessions which was to last only
ten days. That session lasted for a
month and was the longest and most
expensive special session of the legis
lature in the history of the state.
"I feel that these facts speak for
themselves and that the present gov
ernor has shown a complete in
ability to cooperate with' and lead
the legislature.. Because of the com
ing first session of the unicameral
legislature a virile, common sense
leadership in the goernois office is
of the utmost importance."
Griswold pointed out tat in one
instance alone the amazing lack of
leadership on the part of the gover
nor cost the taxpayers more than
half a million dollars because of the
delay of four months in passing a
liquor law. Meanwhile liquor was be
ing sold throughout the state, he
said, without payment of any tax.
Turning to the tax reduction issue
Griswold charged that Cochran and
his supporters are misleading the
people when they g:ve the Impres
sion that reduction in the property
tax levy has been caused by a cor
responding reduction in state oper
ating costs.
Mr. Griswold spoke Monday night
at Louisville, first at a dinner attend
ed by some fifty-six guests at the
Hotel Louisville and later to an aud
ience of 200 at the Louisville city
hall.
