1 a Promised Land
William B. Porter, One of the Early
Settlers Describes Territory to
Wife Back in 1856.
Frank M. Bestor in checking over
Borne old family documents a few
days ago, came upon a letter that
had been written by his maternal
grandfather. William 13. Porter to
his wife, whom he had left behind
as he came west to the new and
practically unsettled territory of Ne
braska in 1856, which tells the deep
impression Mr. Porter received of
the section where he later settled
and made his home. The letter fol
lows: "Sunday. June 1st, two miles west
of the Missouri river and about
three miles south of the Platte, Ter
ritory of Nebraska.
"Dear Deborah:
"We have just got to Nebraska
and found the most magnificent
country I have ever seen, as rich a
prairie as lays out of doors, moder
ately rolling, no weeds, nothing
srarcely but grass and the beauty of
this country is that slough are all
dry and always are, except the prin
cipal ones, and they are kept up by
never failing springs, always plenty
of stock water, and plenty of well
water, but they have to dig 25 to
50 feet.
"Good claims may be got within
five miles of good timber, seven miles
of the county seat of this country.
"The land kept getting worse as
we come west till we came to the
Nishnabotna waters and it changed
for the better and now it is as good
here as it is on that prairie with
out any flat land on the divides or
broken land on the watercourses.
There is a claim of twenty acres of
timber that they say may be 50,000
railsmade, that can be secured for
$120 within four miles of good va
rant prairie land, so the prospects
Is that we will stop here, and move
out as soon as we can get ready this
fall.
"We are about to start this (Mon
day) morning out to the country xand
pick on a location, which will not be
hard to do. Tell Mr. Shonbpll that

"Isaiah : A Life Dedicated
to God"
Isaiah 6:1-13.
The world has had many great and
eloquent orators, but when we read
arid study Isaiah, we come to the
conclusion that the world has not
heard his equal. But as the theme
inspires the orator, then we do not
hesitate to say that no speaker ever
had a theme like Isaiah. Other ora
tors had wars and revolutions and
great public and national questions
that have kindled their oratory;
but Isaiah had the greatest theme
'that has as yet been given to mor
tal man; the grace of God and the
glory of God's coming salvation.
This theme is incomparable and un
approachable to any by any subject
mankind has ever spoken on. We
omit Isaiah's ancestry and youth
they are insignificant when com
pared with the great experience
that came to him in our lesson.
We study four phases of Isaiah's
experience in this lesson, namely:
(1) The Vision, verses 1 to 4; (2)
The Confession of Sin, verse 5; (3)
The Cleansing from Sin, verses 6
and 7. and (4) Tire Commision,
verses 8 to 13.
It should not be hard for any
teacher to master the lesson and
bring it to the class intelligently.
1 The Vision. It was an awe in
spiring sight that this man beheld.
In the year that King Uzzlah died;
who had ruled Judah fifty-two, years
under the special favor of God. Peace
and prosperity crowned these years,
but instead of serving God with a
grateful heart, they forgot their giv
er and turned their back to him and
rejected God's leading; not ' under
standing that the goodness of God
leadeth to repentance (Rom. 2:4).
God needed a man in his business,
and he seeks and finds the man he
needs. He appears to Isaiah in his
holiness, in the temple, where God
had said that he would dwell. Many
of God's servants have had such
heavenly visions. See Amos 9:1;
Ezekiel 8:3 and 10:4-5.
John in his gospel (12:1) says it
was Jesus whom Isaiah saw. The
seraphin, the shining ones are the
symbol of purity, and are only here
mentioned in the Bible. In anti
phonal song they declare the lioli
ness of God, the separate one, "the
true light, spotless purity, the per
fect one 58 times repeated by
Isaiah: "The Holy One of Israel."
The cry of this unnumbered host
shook the foundation of the temple.
The 6moke here in the symbol of the
he is wanted here and if he seen it
he would want to be here. I think l
am now on a claim of 140 acres
with twenty of timber, 80 with a
good stacked rider fence around it,
twenty-five or ' thirty broke, fifteen
acres enclosed with a pole fence for
a cattle pasture, a good cabin, two
wells dug, a log stable that can be
had for $800 or subject to be en
tered at $1.25 per acre, as soon as
the land office is opened which will
probably be this fall.
"Tell the children there are lots
of strawberries and the nicest place
I have ever seen, here it is thicker
settled than on Cannan. There was
a school last summer of twenty
scholars and things are nice I do say
and they say zero was never known
in history.
"All things considered this Is the
most desirable place I have ever seen
for me. I remain your affectionate
husband, W. B. PORTER."
Mr. Porter, who had left his family
in their old home in Ohio, had come
to the west the year prior to the
letter and had spent a year in Iowa,
moving west over the Missouri river
in 1856. lie built a house, a one
room dwelling with the cottonwood
board without and batten, as he had
believed the stores that there would
be no severe winters in this section
of the west, but it developed that
the winter of 1S36-57 was extremely
severe. Three cows were kept In a
hay covered shed and two froze to
death and the third had its ears and
tail frozen. This pioneer home was
located about a mile and a half
northwest of Mynard. Later the
Porter family erected a large brick
house near the present Charles Jean
place.

divine presence, as in the tabernacle

II The Confession of Sin. Verse
5. In the presence of such purity,
glory and holiness, any mortal being
will at once realize that he is unfit
for such association; with fear and
trembling he shrinks back and cries
out: "Woe is me, for I am undone,
etc." Isaiah is overwhelmed with
the sense of his own unworthiness.
He cannot worship God because his
lips are unclean. A pure lip is re
quired for the worship of Jehovah.
(Zeph. 3:10). How many people
pretend to worship God who use
foul language, swearing, cursing,
lying. Isaiah confesses his sin, and
as we read in I John 1:9, "If we con
fess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness." His
tongue must be clean for the mes
sage. The cry of the soul is what
God loves to hear. After the cleans
ing Isaiah can say out of his ex
perience: "Wash you, make you
clean; cease to do evil, learn to do
well, etc."
3 The Cleansing from Sin. This
is God's part; He alone can do this.
Men have attempted it; and we have
them with us today who claim to
have power to forgive sin. This les
son should convince any sane man of
the futility of such act. Even the
learned scribes in Jesus' time knew
better when they said: "Who can
l forgive sins, but God only?" (Mark
2:7). Having his message prepared
we hear now:
4 The Commission (verses 8 to
13). Isaiah has surrendered all to
the Lord, who has conferred such a
great boon on him; in gratitde he
offers his servfice to God. He might
nave nesitated had he known the
work he was to perform. No living
man was ever given a harder task;
to preach to his own people, know
ing before of not having any con
verts, but rather to make them
worse mai required more grace
than the average Christian possesses
His orders are: "Go, and tell this
people not 'my' people, God had re
jected them. What a fearful doom
awaited them. No mercy is offered-
the day of grace is past God's love
has been spurned there is nothing
more God can do. Hear his lament:
"What could have been done more
to my" vineyard, that I have not done
in it?v (Isa. 5:4).
The day of salvation is past; the
justice of a holy God demands the
punishment of the. sinner. Jesus
said: "Ye will not come to me, that
ye might have life." (John 5:40).
Barren Sands
Said to Grow
Bumper Crop
Scientist Holds Solution Lies in
Placing Seed on Diet Five
Years of Experiments.
By J. EDWARD MURRAY
CHICAGO (UP) Howard D.
Silins, engineer and scientist, believes
he has conquered sand, bugaboo of
scientific agriculture, by growing 12
varieties of vegetables, corn and a
lawn on an acre of sand amid the
otherwise unproductive dunes of In
diana. He said his triumph over sand, re
sulting from five years of experimen
tation, was made solely by treating
the seed before planting, and with
out the use of fertilizer or chem
icals. "My process of treating seed is
biological and bacteriological," he
said. "The seed is placed on a diet
which contains all the elements of
the human body: calcium, phosphate,
nitrogren and carbohydrates. The
process, taking five or six days, con
sists of soaking the seed in a mixture
prepared by a secret formula.
Ezra J. Kraus, chairman of the
botary department at the University
of Chicago, said the treating of seed
prior to planting had been tried with
moderate success several years ago
by the University of California.
Potash Strengthens Seed
At that time, he said, scientists
soaked wheat in phosphorus and
fpund it made the seed more produc
tive. He said potash was added later
to the soaking mixture and seemed
to strengthen the seed somewhat.
"But I shall have to see vege
tation growing in sand before I be
lieve it," Kraus said. "There is
nothing in sand but a little oxygen,
and there are so many things essen
tial to plant life that adding them
to the seed artificially seems impos
sible. I should like to know, for in
stance, how nitrogen is added."
Salins admitted that, sand must
have life-giving elements supplied,
but that his process was capable of
generating all the essentials in the
seed. Heal so said that seed treated
by his process regenerates the soil
by starting a bacteria life, making
possible continuous planting on the
same ground without deterioration.
"I have offered to make compar
able tests with all the universities
on acreage," he said. "I have chal
lenged the University Of Illinois and
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
to plant a 20-acre plot of ground
the best way they know how in com
petition with a similar piece of
ground planted my way to deter
mine which gives the greater yield.
They have not accepted."
Besides his fertile acre of sand
near Miller, Ind., Salins had sam
ples of his seed to show from other
parts of the nation:
A box of wax beans measuring
6' inches a bean from seed planted
at Fond du Lac, Wis., May 11, this
year; zenias from seed planted in
Chicago beds in late May which
bloomed on stocks a foot and
half high and a half inch thick
zenias planted the ordinary way have
not begun to come out yet; alfalfa
and clover from Lakewood, N. J.,
from sandy fields planted without
the use of lime or fertilizer.

ARRAIGNED ON MURDER CHARGE
CAMDEN, N. J., Aug. 29 (UP)
The Rev. Walter Dworecki, Polish
Baptist minister, was arraigned on
a murder charge today, accused of

HILL FOLK EBB IN CALIFORNIA
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, C a 1.
(UP) California's hill population is
rapidly declining, according to Jan
O. M. Broek, assistant professor of
geography at the University of Cali
fornia. This decline in the "hill billy"
population, he said, was taking place
despite a steady increase in popula
tion throughout the state.
"The passing of the old hill fam
ily and many of its descendants,"
he said, "is due to the decline in
lumbering and range operations, de
cline in the birth rate, the competi
tion of valley and rural commun
ities. '"inese combined with the fact
that California has a low birthrate
as compared with the country as a
whole, have brought about the phe
nomenon of lower population in the
uplands, while population in the
lowlands is increasing."
As a result of this situation, he
declared, a high number of schools
in the hill country have been closed,
not because of the establishing of
consolidated schools for several for
merly independent districts, but be
cause the number of children has so
decreased that even the required
minimum of five for each district
cannot be mantained.
"The situation has become so
marked," he said, "that certain coun
ties in the hill districts are obliged
to depend on migration to maintain
their present population."
1940 WHEAT CROP INSURANCE
Numerous inquiries have reached
the county office concerning payment
of indemnity on 1939 crop insurance.
Martin Blum, county committeeman
in charge of crop insurance, reports
all claims should be cleared up with
in the next two weeks. Many claims
have been held up until an accurate
check on harvested acres could be
determined, in view of the fact that
a number of farms In the county
made disposal prior to May 1, 1939,
and that acreage disposed of had not
been determined' until recently.
Settlements are rapidly coming in.
Four hundred and twenty-one claim
ants have received their payments
amounting to about $36,000.
Corn Loan Program
A number of local elevators are
applying for permission to keep seal
ed wheat in storage. We hope to
have a complete list of these elevators
which are complying in the near fu
ture for the help' of' farmers wish
ing to reseal their corn.
1939 CORN PARITY PAYMENTS
The first shipment of 1939 corn
parity checks was received in the
county office the week of August
20th. These checks totaled $15,-
234.96. The applications for pay
ment are being mailed out for signa
ture as soon as the corn and wheat
acreages are determined.
Question Eox
Question: What would be the exact
cost for me to reseal my 1937 or 1938
corn?
Answer: The cost of resealing 1937
or 1938 corn Is a filing charge of
.25 for each mortgage. It was orig
inally thought that l5c per bushel
insurance charge would be made, but
notice has been received lhat the
original policy on corn under seal
shall be extended, at the expense of
the producer, to cover the corn until
the loan expires.

C0NVENTI0N ATTRACTS
MANY TO LINCOLN SUNDAY
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday was opening day of the
Nebraska American Legion conven
tion in Lincoln. Meeting simultan
eously with the Legion is the Legion
Auxiliary, and the event drew a large
attendance from over the state. The
registration tables at the Lincoln
and Cornhusker were kept busy thru
out the day putting out badges to
the Legion, Auxiliary, 40 and 8 and
8 and 40 members who came to the
capital city for the three day ses
sion. Plattsmouth is represented by
a total of some twenty from the two
organizations.
One of the highlights was the
joint, opening convention session at
the Cornhusker ballroom, addressed
by the National Auxiliary president,
Mrs. James Morris. The evening at
traction was the 40 and 8 parade
on downtown Lincoln streets. The
afternoon air circus was attended by
a tremendous crowd, but proved
pretty tame in comparison with sim
ilar events held in Omaha. The only
new feature was the descent of a
glider towed to a high altitude by a
tri-motor and cut loose. The operator
manipulated it with precision thru
a series of loop-the-loops, etc., land
ing in. the center of the field.
OLD RESIDENT BEDFAST

In a peculiar accident stepping
from her porch and falling Into a
hole Mrs. Boyd pulled her hip from
the socket, but, luckily, did not
break any bones. Living alone, Mrs.
Boyd had lain there helpless for
several hours. Her pleadings for
help seemingly unheard, they were
finally recognized and aroused the
neighbors who came to her assist
ance. Although In a cast hardly able
to move, Mrs. Boyd, at her advanced
age, seems to remain cheerful dur
ing her illness.
During her residence here Mrs.
Boyd was a prominent figure In the
Degree of Honor, Rebekah lodge,
and was a very active member of the
First Christian church.
Mrs. Frank Boyd's address for
communication is Room 315, General

JUDGE ACTS AS UMPIRE
From Monday's Dally
This morning Judge A. H. Dux
bury was back from his vacation to
take up a large number of matters
that had been pending and the first
of these was a case of assault and
battery preferred against a Union
resident as the result of a dispute In
the baseball game there on Sunday,
August 20th.
The complaint was filed by Coun
ty Attorney Walter H. Smith against
Otis Kean, charged with having
struck and injured Fred J. Allen.
The defendant and complaining
witness were both umpires In the
baseball game on Sunday the 20th,
and the decision in the game was

Kean calling the ball fair and Allen
foul. In the ensuing dispute and
argument it was alleged that Kean
struck Allen In the mouth.

in the dispute between the umpires
today gave Kean a sentence of fif
teen days In the county jail.
