Gives Address
Before Rotarians
Urges Local Business Men to Closer
Co-operatior. in Activities
of the City.
From Tuesday's Daily
Cliff Crooks urged more cooper
ation among the business firms in his
address before the Rotary this noon
Mr. Cooks is a feature writer for the
Nebraska Farmer and a former mer
chant of Fairbun He has also served
as president of the retailers of Ne
braska for two years.
He emphasized the fact that too
many business men were afraid to
remodel the stores, to put in new
stock and fixtures, which would not
only add to the comfort of the cus
tomer but also of the employes, be
cause of the fes.r that the business
would not pay. "Too many do noth
ing just play safe" he said.
"If our whole job is to sell our
selves we would not have time to
criticize others" he said. "Too many
spend their time criticizing, compar-;
ing, and finding fault with the other
fellow while their business remains
idle."
The speaker also stated that the
farmer's income in Nebraska was con
siderably more during 1926 than
1935 and that there was business
among the farmers. He quoted Henry
Ford in stating a way to gain that
potential business, "If you want the
farmer to be your customer, you must
find a way to make you the farmer's
customer."
"It so often happens," he said "that
the merchant feels the people from
nearby small towns-should trade with
him, while at the same time he does
not do business with his fellow mer-

4-H Boys Peed Large
Number of Baby Beeves.
Sixty-six baby beeves are being fed
by Cass county 4-H club members this
year. 2A special feed ration for these
calves has been worked out by the
agent, and is being mixed by the
Allied Mills of Omaha. This complete
ration is costing the boys a little less
than corn and cottonseed meal which
is the usual feed. This spirit of co
operation on the part of the Allied
Mills will do much to help these 4-H
members through a year made diffi
cult because of the feed situation.
One of the most popular 4-K activ
ities, baby beef production has grown
rapidly not only here but through
out the state. Walter Tolman, assist
ant state club leader, estimated this
week that there will be about 1600
calves on feed for 1937 in Nebraska.
Christmas Oranges, Then and Now.
The custom of puttirg bright gol
den oranges into the children's
Christmas stockings started over a
generation ago. Oranges were a lux
ury then, to be enjoyed chiefly at
the holiday season. When they did
appear on the breakfast table in
those days, oftentimes only half an
orange was served to a person!
What a contrast that is to the
present day habit of consuming many
dozens of oranges by American fam
ilies. And we suspect that a good
many of the lovely big bowls which
the members of womeus project clubs
are fashioning this month from tin
cans and crepe papers, will be used
in their homes to hold a tempting
array of oranges and other fruits
during the holidays as well as days
to come.
What would the people of that
long 'ago generation say to the gen
erous glasses of chilled orange juice
that Americans consume almost daily,
to make sure of getting enough of
vitamins and other protective ele
ments, Of what would they say to
the two tablespoons ol orange juice
a day that every well-fed baby now
has from early infancy; or to the
countless ingenious ways we- use
oranges on the table, in sauces, des-:
sert, and preserves? And what would
they think of buying organges by
the bushel basket, or the crate, or in
large net sacks?
Perhaps you have read about the
recent test made comparing the vita
min C content of tomato and orange
1 juices Even though the test shows
that orange juice contains from two
to three times as much vitamin C
as tomato juice, it must also be re
membered that when tomato prices
are much lower than oranges (which
is often the case) it is possible to
get as much or more vitamni C pro
tection per dollar from tomatoes. Re
member either juice loses vitamin C
if allowed to stand before using.
Home Accounts an Aid
to Wise Spending.
Home account books, kept during
1036 by Cass county homemakers will
be collected some time between
Christmas and New Years, according
to present plans.
Knowing where the pennies go is
one of the Srst steps in making them
go farther, is the opinion of the ma
jority of these 25 home account
keepers. These women find that
spending the family income is one
of the most important activities of
the home. Their family's level of liv
ing depends both on how much of an
income they have and how much
"living" they are able to buy through
wise spending. The latter depends
only partly on the cost of goods and
services. By getting pennies to buy

usually increase their real income.
As an end to wise spending, home
accounts are invaluable. They help
to measure needs, picture your
habits, and furnish a guide for plan
ning future spending. They help in
spotting unnecessary leaks, in show
ing up haphazard buying, which rob
you of the chance of success as a
money manager.
Home account books are available
to any one interested. The home

they are kept and help the home

Seedling Trees Available
For Spring Planting.
Applications for 2700 seedlings
have already been received at the
Farm Bureau office. Last year, Cass
county farmers obtained and planted
16,600 seedlings through the exten
sion service, ine varieties avaiiaoie
th?s year are Hackberry, Chinese Elm,
Green Ash, Honey Locust, Cotton
wood, Catalpa, American Elm, Rus
sian Mulberry, Russian Olive, Cara
gana, Austrian Pine, Yellow Pine,
Scotch Pine, and Jack Pine. The most
popular broadleaf variety is the Chi
nese Elm, a.nd the Austrian Pine leads
the field of evergreens. The trees are
available at a cost of only $1.00 un
der provisions of the Clark-McNary
Act. This amount is to take care of
the handling charges and shipping
expense.
The possibility of establishing nar
row strips of trees in .fields to take
the place of slat snow fences was
advanced this week by Earl G. Max
well, junior extension forester at
the college of agriculture. Success
ful establishment of these strip
plantings of trees would take the
place of many miles of snow fence
and result in saving of considerable
expense to the state and counties.
Such strips after a few years would
also protect crops against hot south
ern winds.
Many farmers have been successful
in establishing wonderful windbreaks
as a result of the practice of erect
ing sncAv fences which serve to pile
snow on the area to be planted to
trees in the spring. This is the means
of adding several inches of precipi
tation to the area where it will be
most needed. After a few years the
tr'es themselves catch the moisture,
hold it, and build up sub-soil mois

Ancient Grave
is Uncovered on
Third Street
While Scooping Dirt a Grave Is Re-
vealed in Bluff Along; the
Street This Horning.
From Tuesday's Daily
This morning Ira Clinkenbeard
was engaged in scooping off dirt from
the high bluff on the west side of
Third street, unearthed a skeleton,
thought to be one of the early
dwellers of this section.
The skeleton was found lying face
down in the grave and had appar
ently been there for many years, the
bones being in such shape that they
must have been buried at least a nun
dred years ago.
The lot where the bones were un
earthed was part of a bluff that at
one lime extended almost to the
river front where the Missouri
flowed at the foot of the present Main
street, long before the coming of the
white man to Nebraska.
There have been many finds of this
kind made along the bluffs in the
east part of the city where at an
early day no doubt the then inhabit
ants were laid away to face the
rising sun from the east, across the
waters of the mighty Missouri.
The find was one that greatly
shocked Mr. Clinkenbeard and he at
once notified the sheriff of the fact
and Sheriff Sylvester visited the scene
but was convinced that the bones
were of a long vanished race of Ne
braskans. It is expected to get in touch with
Dr. G. II. Gilmore of Murray, presi
dent of the Cass County Historical
society and who has had a great deal
of experience, in excavations of ruins
of early Nebraska Indian villages.
Service Station

by Red Cross
Ofe Oil Co. to Be Second Pirst Aid
Center in Cass County Sup
plies Arrive yesterday.
From Tuesday's Daily
Supplies for a first f id station ar
rived at the Ofe Oil Co. yesterday.
This is the second station to be es
tablished in Cass county. Fort
George, three miles south of Weeping
Water, was established last spring.
The station will be subject to calls
for any accident. Three local physi
cians, three Omaha hospitals, and
ambulances available are listed at the
station for immediate call. Two men
who have completed first aid courses
will be available at the station, one
to be ready to answer emergency call3
at all times.
Often more injury is done to a
person hurt in an accident by the
method of moving him or transport
ing him to a hospital than is actually
done jn the accident. First aid sta
tions are being established through
out the United States to give trained
men for emergency calls.
