Nebr., where he intends to help his brother, Howard, harvest the wheat ' crop. Guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Brown on the 4th of 'July were Mr. and Mrs. Ira Cappen and sons of Omaha.

Building; Himself Chicken Eouse Leslie Bosworth, who carries the mail between the post office and the depot, and works at other jobs the rest of the time, has been putting in part of his time constructing a new thicken house in which to keep the flock that he anticipates will more than pay for their board and keep. Cut of Bread. No Yeast Due to a strike among the Lincoln bread truck drivers, the Sniith Bak ery truck did not make its usual call at the Stanley Hardaway store Wednesday. As a result there soon developed a bread shortage that has worked some hardships on the people of this vicinity. It. was not so many years ago that any woman could in a few minutes have a pan of hot rolls pre pared and ready to serve, but under this modern mode of living the art of baking has been largely lost. To alleviate the situation, Ralph Richards, who had some business in Mnrdock. laid in a supply of bread sufficient to last for a day or so, and many are hoping the bakery strike will be settled promptly so they may be assured of their "daily bread." Sixty-Seven Years Young Bert Barden v.-as at Avoca Tues day o" last week, making the trip on Iih E'.ooter, and while there vis ited with his many friend.

He is employed on WPA wotk and it chanced that his birth day came on ? day when he was not v.orking. thus giving him an oppor tunity to celebrate. He is 67 years old. hale and hearty. Congratulations and best wishes to you, Bert. Says Wheat is Very Poor Frank Marshall, local elevator man. who is a very good judge of grain. says the wheat crop last year, while nothing to brag about, wa3 at least twice as good as this year. He de clares a few of the best fields may make as much as 25 bushels to the acre, but they are the exception and not the rule. On the other hand. there are a good many that will not viold more than three bushels to the acre, thus putting the average down to a pretty low figure. In fact, he avers this is the worst year for wheat raisers in this section he has ever seen. Miss Myrtle Wood has a field that will not return enough to pay for cutting anil threshing it. She had expected to rosow the land to this crop, hut fears the soil is infested with chintz bugs that cannot be eradicated and is still undecided just what to do.
