arre field of wheat combined and

!. bushels of grain had been har
vested. This is not very good, but
i:i some fields the yield has run as
high as 13 bushels of grain testing
5S pounds to the bushel. In quite a
i' fields it is found that the grain
is not worth harvesting and the
ft Ids are being plowed up and placed
lo sorgo in order that sufficient feed

To Have Dial Telephones
Dial telephones are to be installed

manager, and her daughter, Mrs.
Doannie Stark as assistant are con
tinuing their work at the switch
board. Mrs. Stark has taken the
place of Miss Clara Dennis, who was
recently married and gave up her
position. As the change is to be put
into effect soon, Mrs. Lyle did not
believe it would pay to break in a
new operator, who, at best, could
no more than get nicely started be
fore the change is maid. The cut-o-.er
will take some time to com
plete and the service of the opera
tors will be required until then.
Dial systems are being installed in
many of the towns served by the
Lincoln Telephone company, and by
th way. how many of our readers
know that Lincoln was one of the
fist towns in the country to take up
dial phones, back in the days when
thew were a lot more troublesome
and hard to maintain than at the
present time.

man of sterling qualities and very
industrious.

Innd Mark in Danger
The McCaig house, fashioned of
native logs and built just after the
Civil war, is about to be wrecked, as
a new farm home will be erected on
the site it occupies. This historic old
house is located two miles north, a
mile east and then another half mile
north of Elmwood. The house was
built by the five McCaig boys, as
their father. had died before the fam
ily came west Beside the five boys,
there was one sister, who became
Mrs. John Hall in later years. At
the time the family located here, the
country was "wild and wooly" as the
expression goes. There were few con
veniences and the early settlers were
beret with privations a plenty. In
this house was established the first
post office, with David, McCaig, one
ot the elder brothers, becoming the
first postmaster. Constructed of logs,
the house was covered with clap
boards, as they were called, sawn
frc m native lumber and nailed over
tre logs. These rough, unpainted
boards have withstood the ravages of
the elements for many years, but in
lrte years have rotted very badly.
The farm passed out of the hands
of the McCaig family into possession
rf the Bourkc family, but in recent
years has been acquired by a party
in Omaha, who now desires to con
siruet a new, modern dwelling on the
farm. Not desiring to tear down
this historic old landmark, the owner
offered it to the Commercial club of
Elmwood and they were considering
removing it to the Elmwood park.
The committee sent fo examine the
building found it so badly decayed
it would be impossible to move it
and equally impracticable to tear it
down and rebuild it. Just what will
fcs the outcome of this historic old
land mark has not yet been deter
mined by the powers that be.

Wheat Not the Best
In the combining of the wheat
crop of Louis Roeber it was found
that the yield was 15 bushels to
tht acre and the test showed 57
f ounds to the bushel. However, much
cf the wheat has shown lower yields
p.nd lower tests. In all there is some
wheat, but not as much as desired or
enough to make the raising of this
ci op profitable. However, all are
locking forward hopefully to a good
yield of corn this year, as so far the
moisture has been adequate.

Question of Title Delays Action
The old church building in Wa
bash still stands and may continue
t: do so for some time. Whn the
imich heralded sale of the property
was called up some time ago, the
natter of ability of anyone to give
a title to the building and land it
ccupies was questioned and now we
hear rumors that someone high in
authority in ,the church who has
claimed to hold title to the premises
s;ivs he fears the church cannot give
good title, so the matter lags there
at the present time.
Hoppers Bavishing Oats
L. R. Stanley was mowing his
oat crop last week to be used for
bay. He says he planted the oats
with that purpose in view. He has
tad to hustle to get the crop har
vested, as the grasshoppers have
been devouring the leaves, leaving
only the stems of the oats, which are
not worth much for hay or other
wise. He has observed that in many
places the 'hoppers have been eating
tht green oats and as they riddle
the fields, the stems supporting the
unripened heads of grain have fall
en to the ground. It is bad when the
grain isn't ready to be cut and still
is destroyed in this manner. Perhaps
someone will devise a more satisfac-'
tory way to rid the country of its'
hopper plague than has yet been
found. We hope so. I
