If the garden is fall plowed or spaded, it is much easier to get the planting done on time. Then harrowing or raking in the spring is the only preparation need ed prior to planting time.

Do you have a chair, davenport, davenport cushions or foot stool that needs repairing? If so, enroll now for the reupholstering clinic to be held in Cass County, November 17 and 18. Last fall 18 Cass County women estimated a saving of $143.08 when they reclaimed one davenport, 1 dressing table stool, 4 overstuffed chairs, 2 occasional rockers, 1 straight chair, 14 davenport cuch ions and 2 chairs with cane seats. This two day clinic makes it pos sible for women to do their own repair work under experienced su pervision. Any woman interested in attending this clinic should con tact home Demonstration Agent, Miss Baldwin for further informa tion. New Bulletin Published Results of experimental work with sunlight lamps for laying hens at the University of Nebraska Col lege of Agriculture are reported in Bulletin 344, recently published by the Nebr. Agricultural Experiment Station. The sunlamps were used for furnishing the energy ordinarily fur nished by summer sunlight or cer tain types of fish oils. A copy of the bulletin may be ob tained from the County Extension Office in Weeping Water. Effect of Feeding Weed Seed Contrary to ideas of many people, seeds of bindweed and other weeds often live- through the process of passing through the digestive tract of a farm animal.

S. D. A. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Prices received by farmers generally will be higher than on the average iu 1942, and farmers' income will increase correspondingly. Farm prices in generpl, however, proba bly will rise only flight iy above current levels. Governmental con trol rcacinn vy bus been grtatiy strengthen?'., and is expected to pre vent in large part the reflection in prices of inerci-i-M consumer pur chasing pocr and military demand Price trends for the rest of the war will be determined more I y Kavern inental action than by the utuai le-;oand-suprif relationships, n'tiiough one cannot be considerett without ibe other. The progressive rise in demand for farm products during the year I94J and the .mrtaje !:. the year as a whole ar2 expei.vd to be substantial although unilli-r than in 1U42. This outlook is based on the following expectation': (1) a higher average level of donest'c jr.nsumer income more than sufficient to offset any probable increase in individual taxes; (2) a EuiaUer velum3 of r.on agricultur&l products for consumers to buy, leaving an abnormally large portion of income which ,uld b spent for agricultural products; and (3) larg.1 iu.reases in miiiiary and lend-leasa requirements for agri cultural products, particularly f.-f.ds. Speculative and storage demand will be less of a factor in the over-all situation than during the past three years, owing to the effect of broader governmental controls in limiting price advances. Some factors important in deter mining the demand for farm pro ducts such as industrial. production, employment and wage payments, will contribute in varying degrees toward further improvement in do mestic demand, at least well into 1943. Others appear to be already approaching virtual plateaus, and are expected to contribute relatively little to further gains after this year. This is particularly true of prices of commodities and services generally, and to a somewhat lesser extent of wage rates. Willard H. Waldo, County Agricultural Agent Jessie H. Baldwin, Home Demonstration Agent. One hundred and ninety 4-H club 1 members, parents and leaders attend-1 ed the 33rd annual county-wide 4-H achiement party. . A short program presented by 4-H members included: patriotic numbers by the Busy Bees Clubs of Plattsmouth; cornet solo by Richard Cole; Mynard; "Spirit of the Flag" by garden and canning club members southeast of Nehawka; two trio numbers by the Schafer Sisters of Nehawka. Mr. Waldo compliment ed the 4-H's on their fine work the past year and urged immediate reor ganization calling attention to the way in which 4-H activities contribu ted to the war effort, through their food production and conservation pro jects, r 'f!JQ Ralph Copenhaver, Extension Re creational Specialist had charge of the games which provided an uproar ious two hours of fun long to be re membered. Refreshments of popcorn, apples and candy, served, by the coun ty 4-H committee, furnished a pleas ing finish to the evenings program. Members of the Plattsmouth Ro tary club had a very interesting pre sentation of Latin America and its people given by Mrs. Edith Aller, the guest speaker of the luncheon Tuesday. Mrs. Aller has given a great deal of time to the study of the Latin American nations and their people and these studies were given to the Rotanans. The historical back ground, the racial standards of the countries and the customs of the people were all discussed by Mrs. Aller. The speaker pointed the necessity tor a better understanding of the Americas and a closer rela tionship between the North and the South American. The fasct was pointed out that in this part of the j continent, more of the Latin spirit ! was to be noted and chiefly in the musical trend. The meeting was in charge of Dr. P. T. Heineman as the program chairman. The two high school students who will be members of Rotary for the month of November are Robert Cole, senior and Eldon Vroman, junior, who were presented to the club. Senator Norris Shows Emotion At His Def eat Returns to Washington Scene of Forty Years of Useful Service To The Nation applications are to be in when the office closes Thursday, Nov. 7. Ac cording to Miss Buster Blauvelt, clerk of the board, about half of the applications have been received. Those bringing in applications are asked to have them filed in when they come to the office. Undergoes Operation Birth of Son THANKS TO VOTEES Mable Gillespie, unsuccessful can didate for the legislature in thanking the voters for the support, said, "Of all my campaigns for the leg islature", none has been more heart warming than this. Old friends have been kind and new friends have been made. Cass county, like Sarpy, is rich in the history of its pioneers. Among the high lights of the campaign was a dinner at a community hall in Lewis ton. There were enjoyed a bountiful feast in a hall, donated by pioneers which has long been the heart of that rich rural community. There showers are held for the young brides in the neighborhood. Marriages are held there, too, and festival dinners and farm meetings of every kind. The last funeral rites for many in the neighborhood are conducted from this same little white hall nestled so snugly in the hillside. Across the road is the cemetery, a quiet shaded spot, a resting place indeed. Other high lights in the campaign in Cass county were the groups of pictures of the boys in service. I came upon the first one at the Weeping Water fair unexpectedly and it brought tears to my eyes. Tears but pride, too, as one studied the clear eyed eager faces. Later I saw the flag decked pictures of the boys in the drug store windows in Plattsmouth and on my visit to Elmwood the flood gates of emotion surged again when I noted the gaily decorated counter cf a grocery store made into a shrine for the pictures of the Elmwood boys in service. There the grocer reached over and picking one picture from the group said simply, "This one is my boy." YeB, it has been a heart-warming campaign in a thousand ways. In times like these one does not merely run for office; no, indeed, instead one prays for Divine guidance and re dedicated themselves to the best ser vice they can give." Guests at the Bourne Home The home of Mrs. Bessie Bourne was the scene of a most pleasant family party on Sunday with a din ner to mark the day. Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Bourne and daughter, Rose mary, and Mr. and Mrs. Homer Eourne, of Humboldt, Nebraska, came here for the occasion and were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Lester Gan semer and family and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bourne and Leslie Ann. Mrs. Ellen Spangler Treasurer Mrs. Ellen Spangler, Murray, was elected Treasurer of the National Home Demonstration Council at the National meeting held in Kansas City, October 30 and 31. Mrs. Henry Tool, Murdock accompanied Mrs. Spangler and as state representa tion will report on the reports from other states through a news letter to all affiliated Nebr. clubs. Many outstanding speakers rep resenting Canada, England, Argen tina, Columbia and the United States were heard. These were fol lowed by discussion under the di rection of a discussion leader. The department of 'agriculture was rep resented by a speaker who conveyed a special message from Secretary Wickard. Outstanding among the speakers was Miss Winslow, Co-or-dinator of American affairs. Mrs. Spangler and Mrs. Tool helped make up the five Nebraska delegates to attend this National meeting. Twenty-six other states had representatives present. Washington. November 4, (UP)) Senator George W. Norris, Nebraska j independent, defeated after 40 years in congress walked slowly from a railroad sleeping car into Washing ton's joint union station at 7:23 a. m. today. Now the election waB over and Norris had come back from his home state to serve out the remaining two months of his term. A United Press reporter was the only person to greet him. His eyes moist, Norris spoke just five words: "Well, there is no hope." The people of Nebraska have elect ed Kenneth S. Wherry, the republi can candidate in a three way race to succeed "Uncle George". Norris could answer no question. He had no statement for the press. He gripped the reporter's arm and dropped his eyes as though to hide the emotion poorly concealed in them. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ulrich was made very happy by the arrival on Sunday afternoon at the St. Catherine's hospital at Omaha of a fine little son to the proud par ents. An added pleasure was the fact that the little one was born on the birthday of his maternal grandmother, Mrs. E. J. Ferrie, of near this city. This is the third son in the Ulrich family. Wednesday morning at the Clark son hospital at Omaha, John P. Sat tler, Sr., was operated on after being at the hospital for several days un der observation. The patient came through the operation in excellent shape and it "te hoped will soon be on the highway to recovery. Receives Promotion The many friends of Joe A. But tery, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M.

Newspaper stories regarding this order have, in some instances, given the public an erroneous impression of the effect of these priorities upon Long Distance service. As a matter of fact, the establishment of priorities for various types of war calls actually results in clarifying the Long Distance situation for civilian users. This clarification results from the fact that the new priority order gives holders of Priority No. 1 the right to interrupt any existing conversation while Priority No. 2 and Priority No. 3 are given preference in filing over ordinary business and social calls! The number'of persons or agencies authorized to use" Priority No. 1. and the occasions upon which it may be used, have been quite rigorously limited. We feel that we can safely assure our toll customers that the possibility of interruptions by Priority No. 1 calls is extremely remote. It is not likely that many calls of this nature will touch this territory. As stated above, Priorities No. 2 and No. 3 take precedence over routine calls only in the matter of filing time, but will not be privileged to interrupt existing conversations. As travel restrictions become more drastic, Long Distance service becomes increasingly essential to the nation's business and social life. For this reason, we feel obligated to assure our patrons of its continued availability an availability subject, of course, to the delays incident to our war effort We do, however, reiterate our previous words of caution: "Do Not Make Unne cessary Calls to Centers of War Activity!" We also reiterate our previous warnings against "double parking" (excessive holding time) on local calls. While it is true that the present priority system extends only to Long Distance calls, it is quite possible for the common equipment (switches, switchboards, etc) used in giving local ejxhange service to become so tied up that urgent priority toll calls will have considerable trouble getting through. Our business office will be happy to explain all the various angles of the recent priority order to those telephone, users who need or desire this information.
