Tnas. where they were to visit for a time and then continue on to California. They are still in Rockdale, however, and will remain there for some time to ome. as a nephew who lives there and is manager of an elevator, was injured in an auto accident and has been unable to resume his work, so Mr. Shackley has taken charge of the business and will continue to look after it until the nephew is able to resume his duties. It depends on how soon this will tie, whether Mr. and Mrs. Shackley will go on to California or not.

This is a most worthy cause, and all contributors, large or small, can feel that they have done something really worthwhile. When disaster strikes, no community is able to re habilitate itself without outside aid. and if we were in the same position, we would certainly want the people of othe communities to come to our rescue.

Advised of Uncle's Death Albert Riser, who makes his home on highway No. 1. received word last week of the death of his uncle at Eden. Kansas. The deceased man was a brother of Albert's father, who is making his home with the son here. As the elder Mr. Kistr was unable to go to Eden, Albert went down to at tend the funeral. Sees Wolves Frequently Myrtle Wood, the mail earlier, re ports she has been seeing many coyotes lately while on her rounds delivering the mail. One clay las; week. Guy Hinds went along on the trip, taking a gun in the hope he might be able to get a shot at one or more of the animals. However, no wolf was sighted that day, but Fred Towle reported seeing two near his home. No one has been able to get a shot at any of them "s yet. It is quite possible a well organized wolf hunt would result in rounding up a goodly number. As they prey on chickens and other animals, farmers are much interested in seeing their number reduced to a minimum. Preparing; for Summer We often hear of folks preparing for winter, but only a relatively few make preparations for summer. Fred Towle and Fred Weycrs are two who are doing just that, however, for they are putting up ice in prepara tion for the hot weather that will ar rive some months hence. They are laying in a sufficient supply for their respective families and as a result of their labors will be able to have cooling drinks and frozen desserts all through the hot weather season. Lost a Good Horse Jerry Smith, who resides west of Wabash, had the misfortune to lose a valuable horse last week. The ani mal was in the stalk pasture, and slipped on some ice. breaking its leg in the fall and having to be shot.

While going to the home of Gust Wendt, Sr.. for a visit, Mr. Horton came upon the Journal field man, whose car was stal led in a snow drift, and he kindly aided us in getting out and on our way making the rounds of the county in quest of news. Our thanks are ex tended to Mr. Horton for this very kind assistance and to two young gentlemen, also from Plattsmouth, who helped. more officers are to be installed at tie next meeting, Feb. 4.

In recognition of dis tinctive service as a volunteer lead er, Miss Evelyn Wolph, leader of these three clubs, was presented a beautifully finished RCA radio equip ped with the most modern devices The awards were based on records ot the clubs competing, as follows: rxtent and results of social activ ities of the club 90 points; Project nd achievements 10 points. In addition to the above prizes, which were state awards the club re vived a handsome history and year book, approximately 12x14 inches, profusely illustrated and arranged so that the club secretary may keep a complete record of activities. Miss Wolph received a gold medal, as a county award, in appreciation for ser vice to the clubs and community.

Its study courses, meetings. trips, recreational program open for many an entire new social and cul tural world. They learn by doing. Gar boys and girls are our future citizens. There is training for the highest type of moral character and citizenship. What finer tribute could be paid to any organization!" Fami'y Food Supply. Wi'h Cass county homemakers faced with the unusual problem of necessarily buying more foodstuffs than usual, the 1937 food supply and price trends was pointed out this week as a means of helping efficient buying. When homemakers go to the store to buy canned vegetables they will fnd a large assortment of products. There was a large carry-over of the 1935 pack of vegetables. Packs of tomatoes, tomato juice, lima beans and asparagus were larger than the previous year. Packs of sauerkraut, peas, corn and spinach were less. With one of the largest onion crops in history marketed, prices have been lew. A light crop of potatoes has increased the price which is expected to continue until the new southern crop of potatoes comes on the market. The price of rice, in view of an exceptionally large world crop, is ex pected to be reasonable. The supply of dry beans for the winter is ten per cent below normal and prices are higher. Price trends of cabbage have been unstable due to larg- southern acre ages and favorable weather conditions but the price now is higher than one year ago. Sweet potatoes have in creased in price from an average of 74 cents to $1.02 per bushel. This is partially due to the rise in prices of white potatoes. Certified Seed List Furnished. Nebraska's 1937 certified seed di rectory is row off the press and Cass county farmers can secure copies from the county farm bureau office. In cluded in the list were names of pro ducers offering superior varieties of barley, sorghums, alfalfa, and hybrid corn for sale. In view of present seed conditions, a greater interest than ever before is expected to be manifested in certified seed this year. Farmers would do veil to consider j j buying certified seed this year in j view of the supply situation. In many; car.es their own seed stocks have been lost during the extremely dry seasons fid as a lesult they s ill lie forced this spring to look elsewhere fori seed. This publication gives a description of each variety of ?ood , rrair. and the results they experimental tests. have given in Fell Steam Ahead for 4-H Clubs ! In looking forward to the 19 4 II c lub year, perhaps it might be veil o pause for a moment to look back upon the accomplishments of the past year, and set a new goal toward which to strive. A total of 400 girls and boys en rolled in F3G projects, were members cf sixty-four active 4-H clubs. Eighty-six per cent of them com pleted their project and tiled a final report shewing their accomplish ments. Of the 53 G projects carried, were in garden, 14 farm shop. 25 rope, 14 poultry, 22 dairy, 2:1 swine. 4 2 baby beef. 12 sheep, 1 farm ac count. 99 cooking. III canning, 99 clothing. 127 girls room. IS keep well, and 19 i:i weed clubs. Eighty boys and girls received spe cial assistance in judging, other than in their own club, during the year, at county and district meetings. Five judging teams and one demonstra tion team represented the county at state fair. Six -II club m?mbers attended the 193 6 4-H Club Week in Lincoln, v ith all expenses paid, for outstand ing 4-H wcrk in 1935; two members ar.d one leader attended the second annual wild life conservation camp at Seward, with expenses paid, as cc.-itest winners, and four br.ys at tended the Chicago International 4-II Club Congress. Three of these boys were awarded their trips, with ex penses paid, as members of the state (ham: ion livestock judging team, and the fourth boy went as alternate. w;th railroad transportation furnish ed. Fifty-two girls and boys attend "d the annual 4-H Club Camp at Brewster. Aside from participation in county and state fairs and Ak-Sar-Fen. 4-H club activities included the holding of 52 local achievement pro grams, one community achievement program, and various club picnics and tours. Space does not permit mention ing all of the major winnings at fairs.! b.it we recall that Cass county had the grand champion beef at state fair, the grand champion group of five baby beeves, first place group of Herefords, state champion health frul, trrand champion 4-H giris room exhibit and state champion in song identification contest. Such accom- plishments for the year 1S3C should surely be an incentive to make 19S7 bigger and better than ever! Looking Ahead in Fashions. There's fun ahead for tashion ninded folks. Be gay. be young, be original, pleads fashion, as it pre sents us with styles that are easy to take, and to the delight of the many who like to do their own sewing, are eisy to make. Anticipating a new frshion season is always an exciting and interesting job. And this brand new- year of 1937 bids fair to over whelm fashion seekers with a glor iously colorful array cf styles that a-e unique and original. It's a gay. colorful year. It's to be seen in every seam, and every bit of draped fold. The silhouette remains much the same with great interest in skirts, shoulders and bodices. Some skirts are flaring and swing-time in their movement others are tailored and so sleek they take inches off one's silhouette. Hemlines grow shorter, from 12 to 14 inches, depending upon one's height. We've become very conscious cf the back of our frocks these days, with the result that there's to be much of style importance evident when we turn our backs. Pleats running from the yoke down to the hem, and con centrated fullness in swing-time flares, etc., lend interest and give graceful movement. Because modern patterns are sim ple and easy to use, women who have never done much sewing may learn tc sew professionally. The numerous instructions printed on each pattern niece indicate definitely just what is to be done with that particular piece. Numbered notches, notched according to number, make play of assembling the smartest frock. There's a variety of colors to choose from with coppery rust shades. soft rose, bright greens, and royal blue. Our favorite navy, of course. l" higniignted. bilks, spun rayons.; novelties, linens and cottons, all have j a new look to them, with interest ' running r.ign in texture. Brightness is the keynote of color harmonies. The clever girl or woman, has fun in store for her in the way of a good time with her needle, because there has never been a more glamorous A. E.

County i-.sricultural conservation c-.mmittees in the 34 eastern Nebras ka counties will assign corn limit ar-rcaces to individual larms in their r spe:tive counties. Farmers in these counties who participate in th 1 roc-ram will be asked to lln.it the-ir corn fteace to that acreage assigned to i.eir farm.

Nebraska as a state ranks s'-eor.d in corn acreage and either second among it was or third in corn production states in the United States. pointed out by the state1 committee i:i discussing the limits of corn pro duction. Administrators cf the pro cram in Washington considered the limitation of corn acreage in the ma jor corn producing counties of the coinbelt as "economic use of the land" which is designated as one of the fundamental purposes of the Acri-cultu:-al Conservation program. Corn, oartie ularly on rolling land, is the most depleting crop of any commonly crown in this section of the country. Ccn limit acreages for the 3.4 counties will be established as qui' k ly as possible by the state commit tee under the direction of the North Central Region. It is expected that it will b - possible for county commit tees to notify farmers regarding their corn acreages by the litst e-f April, before they begin to plant their 1937 c cvs. National Camp Delegates. Some Cass county boy or girl may be one of Nebraska's lour de!egats 'to the National 4-H Club Camp in Washington. D. C. it appeared this v eek as the time for se lecting ti e outstanding farm boys and girls from the 21.000 Nebraska club members n eared. Announcement of the 1937 del?- I rates is expected soon after February jl5, the deadline for filing reports for I tne trip w ith the state office at the (Nebraska college of agriculture.

They riist have been an active club mem ber in 1936 and he either a club member or leader in 1937. Winning a trip to the national cump is regarded as one of the top honors in 4-H club work in the slate. Cass county has had four su h delegates in past years. They wer: Henry Scxson. Clarence Nori is. Maize Foreman, and James Wall. Improving our rarm-to-market roads will be of direct benefit to everyone in Cass county.
