• aluo of crops raised in Nebraska
this year Is $223,994,929, ag.-.nst a
total value cf $153,360,690 liu-t year,
according to a report issued today by
Leo Stuhr, state secretary of agTb
culture. This increased value will
enrich Nebraska farmers $70,634,239.
The most marked increase in valu
ation is In corn, according to th«
**tuhr figures. Value of corn raised
last year was $45,921,087, while this
year Stuhr estimated the value at
*'-M ,471,552. This In the face of a
25.7S9.107 bushel decrease in produc
tion. The increase is due to the bet
ter prices paid In 1922 for coin now
that tho country has recovered, in
1-art, front the deflation in 1920.
Increase in Wheat.
There is an In ri ur in value of
winter wheat amounting to approxi
mately s • 000,000. according to Stuhr.
The production of wheat, also has in
creased. Production last year was
04.340,841 bushels again-1 56,978.123
this year. The value last year was
$46,189,715, against '5.1,280,311 this
year.
In fact, only three crops raised in
Nebraska, potatoes, timothy ami clo
ver, show decreased value The po
tato decrease is extremely large, the
value of th. l:• 21 crop being *7.342.
''•12, against a value «.f $4,080,409 this
> ea r.
Tills loss of $3,262,203 to Nebraska
potato growers is in the face of an
incre ase of 4,315.698 bushels in produc
tion. Poor prices, high fi • glit rates
and 'in inequitable! market are given
as reason * The timothy value this
year Is '236,970, against '319,568 last,
year The clover value last year was
$1,120,864, av iin.«t $1,000,809 this year.

Miss Fulton is a soprano. For sev- ;
en years she has been choir director

Veer and Reed Miller of New York.
Last spring Mine. Van de Veer pte

Redhead," by tlreen. Mrs Brown
will give “If,” by Kipling; Kilmer's
"Trees," a musical reading, and “The
Early in the Electric.” by finest.
Sparks
Many experienced radio enthusiasts
are able to predict with a fair degreo
of accuracy the advent of cloudy or
rainy weather. When the "static” Is
particularly heavy, as evidenced by
loud sounds and crashes in the tele
phone receivers, It is a fairly certain
sign that bad weather is close at
hand. This tnay he observed on small
crystal sets as well ns on more ela
borate ones.
A novel way to mount the detector
crystal in the cup is here given, l’ro
cure a little mercury and stir into it
some fine lead tilings, enough so that
the mixture becomes a very thick
paste. ITacp it in the detector cup
and place the crystal in it. In a few
minutes the mixture will harden and
hold the mineral lirtnly.
With this simple method, there is
no bent applied to the crystal to de
- rroy its rectifying properties, and un
less one learns how to mix the low
melting point alloys the mineral will
be ruined even with some of the very
soft solders.

Wealthy McCook Fugitive Lo

In Sheriff-Schoolmate.
St.inh for Michael 1'. Moore, 33.
lord of 1,300 acres of Nebraska farm .
land a* McCook, ended yesterday
when George McClain, sheriff of Red
Willow county, and boyhood school j
mate of Moore's. found him in a cell
at the city jail.
The st arch has been conducted j
since November 31. chiefly by Sherift
McClain and George t'r.iidiagan. chief!
of police at McCook, after Moore
sawed his way out of jail there and
escaped with Ralph Durham, IS.
Turk. Neb., held m motor theft eases.
Durham still is free.
Moore was arrested here Monday
when Detectives Killian and Knglish
recognized hint in a Fourteenth and •
Douglas street pool hall from a pos
ter hanging on the Cential police j
headquarters bulletin board.
In January, 1921, Sheriff McClain
related. Moore was haled into district
court on liquor charges. Prominent
citizens of the town pleaded for him
and he was paroled for three years
on his promise to straighten up.
The warrant on which McClain
claimed Moore charged him with
drunkenness, taking a check from the j
office of a just.ee of the peace, reck- j
less driving and breaking jail.
When they met in the cell, McClain .
merely said, "llcllo. Mike. ’* and Moore I
replied. "Htllo, George,’' as they j
clasped hands.
"Mike is a prince of a fellow.** said j
the she? iff "Hut booze got him. A j

FORD CARS ARE N< >T
MADE TO CHATTER
When they do they are not properly lubricated. There
is no chatter to a Ford when En-ar-co (Light) Motor Oil
is used and kept at the correct level; the crank case
drained, flushed and refilled with fresh, clean En-ar-co
every 500 miles.
EN-AR-CO
MOTOR OIL IS BETTER
It has the “body” to hold up and withstand the greatest heat any mo
tor will develop, retaining at all temperatures its cushioning properties,
which is essential to prevent friction and insure a smooth-running
motor. En-ar-co Motor Oil has greatest adhesive qualities. It forms a
seal around the pistons which tends to prevent excess oil to accumu
late and form carbon on cylinder head and plugs and to save power
that is lost by gases passing the pistons.
Try En-ar-co FREE Lubricating Service
We drain out the old oil, flush out the crank case and refill with fresh En-ar-co Motor
Oil. Also fill your transmission and differential with En-ar-co Gear Compound. You
pay only for oil and grease actually used. Give this free service a trial.
WHITE ROSE GASOLINE
Quick Starting—Smoother Acceleration—Pure, Free From Moisture
POWERFUL
Use White Rose Gasoline, Winter and Summer. You will have no un
necessary motor repair bills. You will save money. Beware of the
high cost of so-called low priced gasoline.
