.S0LONS BATTLE
 ON HOUSE PLAN
Nebraska Legislators Are Struggling to Retain
 Their Old Districts

Lincoln, Neb. (UP)--Nebraska's $ 5Oth State Assembly, charged with creation of machinery for organt- zatiOn of the states first unicam- eral legislature, is finding the task one of tho most profound in the legislative agenda.
 Provisions of the unicameral majority at the November elect tion, call for single house of from 30 to 50 members"
 The legislature must decide the number of seats in the House and the state. The cause of the legislative wrangle is the fact that of the 100 state representa- tives and 33 senators now sitting in the assembly, only 50 at the most may return.
 Veteran legislators. secure for years are faced with a situation where they may be placed in dis trict with some powerful colleague who certainly would defeat them in They are prepared to wage a die hard fight to maintain their in- dividual districts in as near the present form as possible.
 Senator George w. Norris, fath- CT of the unicameral idea and through whose personal power the amendment was swept to victory. meticulously is keeping aloof from the controversy.
 "The problem or organization and redistricting is one for the legislators to settle" Norris said. When they have done their work. I expect to defend that accom- plishmeEt to the utmost of my abil- ity."
 The legislators, however, do not appear ready to take any immedi- ate action. They have forced the unicameral problem far down on the legislative calendar = u move probably calculated to enable eau tious sounding of ground before any definite action is taken.

I case among plants, just as the
 mosquito does among human be- ings. Aster yeliows and dahlia stunt. for example, are spread only | by the aster leaf hopper and the green fly.
 A good contact insectire, such
 as nicotine sulphate or pyrethum
 with soap, may be used in check
 eases. Sometimes a spray may be
 necessary.
 Protecting the plants from ipfec.
 ton is vitally important factor
 in the control of plant disease, and
 no gardener should be without a sprayer or duster. Bordeaux is the
 dusts used for plant disease con- | troi.
 Dusting sulphur is inexpensive.
 and is the most generally effective
 and easily used. These sulphurs
 must be very fine. They are effec- tive against all mildews, rusts, and
 a few canker diseases. Some have even been dyed green to prove i less visible on the foliage. Plants which are resistant to dis ease should be used whenever pos- sible. VAxieties of asters resistant to wilt have been developed in all shades and in al types. There are also varieties of snap dragons resistant to rNst, while
 some roses are known to be more
 resistant to black spot and mildew
 than others. Keep a careful watch
 for resistant individuals from
 which seed may be saved or cut-
 tings taken.

 The gardener who wishes q healthy garden must destroy dis eased plants, control insects, pro- tect his plants from infection by using sulphur dusts or copper sprays, and last but by no means least, he must grow diseae re- sistant varieties whenever possible.
 Eradication of diseased plants or their infected parts means keeping the garden plot in q sanitary con dition. If a single cane on rose bush or a shoot on. a shrub be- comes cankered, 1t is impossible to save the infected part and it should be immediately pruned off or des- troyed.
 This stey is important, because it is on these diseased plants or plant parts that the fungi and bac- teria, which are the cause of dis ease, multiply and produce spores or seed. It is these spores which subsequently, cause infection on the nAarby plants.
 Insects also must be efficiently controlled if many familiar gar. den diseases are to be checked. Certain types of insects spread dis

Jack Manners cIasped his hands
tightly about his knees and val
iantly tried to blink back the tears
that welled In his eyes.
Gosh, he hated that man Han
cock! He could stand being treat
ed like a little kid; lots of people
! thought Is wasn't very old. But
nobody could laugh at that stamp
collection and get away with it!
And Hancock had. Laughed de-
risively at the collection that dad
and he had determined would be
the best ever that was before
dad died, last year. 1t was just like
laughing at dad to laugh at that
stamp collection.
And tonight wasn't the first time,
either. Jack had tried to be nice to
him, although he hadn't liked him
from the first. Mr. Hancock was
just one of those people a fellow
couldn't like, for some reason or
other.
Gee, he had tried, but mother
had looked so pretty tonight. She
seemed happy lately happier
than she had been since dad died.
Jack sat up with a start. A queer
sensation was coursing down his
spine. No, no-he was imagining
things. That Hancock guy couldn't
have anything to do with mothers
being happy. But he had
heard of such things. Hadn't Jim
Harris mother married somebody
or other a couple of years after Mr.
Harris diod0
All the resentment of which
fifteen years is capable welled
up in Jacks heart. The idea that
anyone could replace the father he
had idealized was revolving. Mother
couldn't-she-why, she had loved
dad as much as he had. No tears
shone in his eyes now; bleak anger
blazed in their blue depths as Jack
rose to his feet, fists clenched.
Well, he'd see that this guy
didn't marry mother. He'd see to
that all right. A few minutes later
he knocked on his sister Susan's
door.
Susan was two years Jacks
senior and wasn't inclined to take
her brother very seriously.
"Well, what's on your mind? !
thought you were helpins nom en-
terrain Mr. Hancock"
II hate that guy, SUSAN"
"Jack!-why?"
"Susan, he wants to marry
mother!" There it was out! A lump
rose in his throat and he stared
hard out the window. Susan swung
around in her chair, startled be-
yond speech.
"Jack!" The two youngsters
were silent for a moment, both
young hearts rebelling against the
thought that was uppermost in
their minds.
Jack, that's absurd! Why,
mother wouldn't"
Listen, Sue-you admit yourself
that mother has changed. Why,
she almost looked as young as you
tonight-that' always a sign. And
besides he's been around here too
much. We've gotta do something,
Sue, that's what I came in for"
But what? We can't do any.

"'You can't marry my mother!' =
please. mother" And imme-
| diately Mrs Manners started up
the stairs, flinging over her
shoulder to Jack: Let him in
dear"
It was slightly trembling but
very determined young man who
opened the door of the Manners
home to Robert Hancock. He
wouldn't give him chance, Jack
had determined; he'd tell him right
away.
Hello, kid" That was the final
straw, Jack blurted it all out.
Listen here, Hancock! You
can't marry my mother. I won't
let you. And furthermore"-(th
sounded very severe when he had
| rehearsed IT'D - you'd better get
out of this house and stay out OF

By this time the older man was
staggered-and then he burst into
peal after peal of uproarious
| end. When he turned to see his
mother descending the stairs he
| did not dare to look at her! his
courage failed him and he ascend
ed the steps two at a time and
burst into sisters room.
"Oh, Jack! Is he gone?"
| A small beaten mo" was the
reply.
Mother thought / was insane, /
guess. made all that fuss just to
show her the rip in this dress I
told her about last week. Jack,
do you think"
A few minutes later Mrs Man
| ners entered the room. She was
smiling and her step they noticed
was lighter than it had been for
a year. The hearts Of the boy and
girl who faced their smiling mother
sank to the depths Of despair,
Jack, Sue" She began gaily
and then noticed the expression OF
utter detection on their faces.
Whatever is wrong with you
tonight?" But when she did not
receive an immediate reply con-
tinued happily
"I've sold the farm Aunt Susan
left me! Mr. Hancock gave me the
check tonight. He's going to live
there himself. Now, Sue. you can
go to college in the fall and jack
you to military school"
Jack looked at his mother ana
then at his sister. Their glances
met and both burst into gales q
laughter--that for all its mirthrui-
ness was not far from the border
of tears.
