today that is thrity.three year old.
William Losey Of Council Bluffs,
902 Avenue F, is the owner OF this
stalk. 1t grew on the farm OF his
father, N. M. Losey, ten miles north
OF Fairbury thirty-three years ago,
and William, who was then small
boy, cut it for a cane while he was
out bringing in the cows. 1t was
exceptionally large. That is why it
attracted his attention. Today it is
as hard as bamboo, and looks very
much like a bamboo reed. He gifted
it over, so that it is quite handsome
curio today.
I'VE sold the corn off that stalk
and that field for eight cents a
bushel," said Mr.. Losey, exhibiting
the stalk in the Office of The Bee
yesterday. Look at the price of
corn today. ! guess there has been
some progress there, too, while you're
talking OF the history of the state"

cally German one applauded last night
DR.. Carl Hunsberger of New York
City, a republic n speaker. who

sons anti-hyphen statements, The
meeting was in tie Seward county
courthouse.
"Dr. Wilson talks Of hyphenism as
though every German in the United

great principles on which this nation
is founded. He seems to forget the
great service which Carl Schurz and
other immigrants from the fatherland
rendered in civil war days"
The speaker. himself a German,
says that most Germans in this coun-
try were actuated by the motto,
America first"
