CRUSADE BEARING LARGE FRUIT
Commercial club Hns Convinced Corn
OF Nebraska of the Ne
cessity for Selection of
Good seed.

Farmers all over the state are coming to
appreciate the necessity of exercising the
most diligeut discrimination in selecting
their seed to insure a good crop and are
responding to the Commercial clubs cru
SADIE.
The Commercial club Is deluged with let
ters from all over the state asking for in
and telling Of the results Of dif-
ferent seed corn tests.
An extensive farmer named Gibbs at
Craig %telephoned the club that he had been
conducting some experiments in that sec
ton and that he, as well as many other
farmers, had given up in their a,Jcmpt to
get good seed corn from the 1908 crop. He
said the more corn that was tested the
worse the situation became. He said that
200 bushels of the 1908 corn which had been
saved in cribs had been sold for seed at
81 a bushel.
The David Cole creamery and the Fair
mont creamery have taken up the crusade
and are sending out circulars to all their
representatives. all over the state asking
them to urge the farmers to use care In
the selection OF their seed corn and to past
the cards in conspicuous places telling how
to test corn.
Union Pacific Helps.
The Union Pacific has not only asked all
agents 10 post these notices, but the super

TWO OMAHA MEN WERE BOY
FRIENDS OF CLAY CLEMENT
DIR. w. H. DOrwRrd and A. ii. Burnett
Were to Greet Him at BrandeIs
In seats He Engaged for Them.

Clay Clement, the ~actor-author. who died
in Kansas City Monday, is mourned in
Omaha by many admiring friends and
especially by two friends OF his boyhood,
DIR. w. II, Dorward and A. H. Burnett.
These three went to the same school to-
gether at Ell Paso, Ill. They lived a mile
from the village. DR.. Dorward was born
on the neighboring 40 to Mr.. Clement.
while Mr.. Burnett lived about a mile dis
tant. Mr.. Clements real name was Glenn
ent Geigen, but for reasons he had it
legally changed. --- ae
whenever the actor visited Omaha ne.
always called his boyhood friends to his
motel for a luncheon and visit, where they
talked over their school days together.
Less than a week ago these Omaha men
received letters from Mr.. Clement. en-
closing orders for tickets. to see his per-
Torrance at the new Brandeis theater.
where he was to appear in a couple Of
weeks.
The last time Clement was in Omaha he,
Burnett, Dorward and a newspaper friend
dined together at the New Hanson, then
in it's bloom.
"WhereIl we go?" asked Clement as
they started out of the Merchants.
Let's try the Hanson" suggested Bur
nett.
As they started into the beautiful restau-
rant, Clement inquired:
Where are we? This is the prettiest
little place l ever saw"
They sat down at a table upstairs in the
front overlooking Sixteenth street.
"Oh here, boys, / don't like this location:
it's too public. Can't we get out of the
limelight, back in some corner where we
can talk about robbing trains and things?'
And so they repaired to one of the
booths in the rear Of the apartment. The
four men seated themselves and Mr..
Clement expressed a preference that his
should be straight. l never like 'em
mixed"
Whereupon the countenance of a very
prominent Omaha clergyman peered over
the partition.
Two ministers our next door neighbors,"
whispered one of the party to Clement.

INCREASE OF 100 PER

An increase of a fiat 100 per cent
in the receipts of the Rio, Grande
railroad Office is the record OF which
Olathe can boast for the past year
and the amount of these receipts
will also prove surprising to those
not familiar with the conditions. The
total receipts for this year are run
ming $4,000 per month. and for the
entire year will doubtless exceed this
figure.
In the month of May, which is con-
sidered the lightest month of the
year, the receipts of the local Office
were s7,l4S.96, is against s3,711.S3
for the same month of last year.
This is an increase of S3,437.13, or
mighty close to 100 per cent. This
