The way to reduce taxes is to re duce them, says Speaker A. X. Math ers, who is president of a National , bank at Gering and also one of the ' big beet producers of that section. ' A year ago Mr. Mathers sounded a j rtnci n a 1 tmt tor t-zH nt inn that w o c printed in the Lincoln State Journal, and which gave him much fame and j a lot or letters to answer. Here is the story as he tells it of how it was done in his home town: "Just about one year ago the board of directors of the Gering pub lic fchools decided that there must be a radical and positive reduction! of the World building, he was tin of school expenses for this district, j able to do it. The call already had The school was not running behind, been allotted by the government to financially, but it was Dlacinc uDon a government ship at sea. the taxpayers of the district Mirdeust Definite plans for schedule of cn - which they could no longer bear.

Thev:anas oi a t-peciai njuiumire ui me appreciated the situation and not only did they lend their personal co operation, but took it upon them selves, to reduce our teaching force, to arrange a teachers wage sched ule, and all other things necessary to bring the expenses of our school down to the amount that we. the board, decided was a possible budget for school expenditures. t "For two months and possibly longer the superintendent and prin cipal and board of directors labored with these aggravating problems and by March a definite and possible plan was worked out. Possiblj- not entirely satisfactory to everyone, but the best that could be done under the circumstances. "Now what are the results? We find that we have in Gering this year, a splendid school, capable teachers, plenty of hard work, sat isfactory results and a striking re duction in school expenditures. "The one hundred mill levy which some extravagant legislature voted upon the people has in the Gering schools been reduced to sixty-two mills. I believe it is the hope of those directly in management of school affairs to even reduce this to fifty mills for the coming year. "The theory that schools can be made more efficient and at less cost absolutely correct. Gering. and no doubt other towns, have demonstrat ed it and Fheer necessity and the in ability. of taxpayers to carry the bur den will force all communities. "The one gratifying conclusion is that our schools can be kept at: J even made more efficient and th-t scnool taxes can De reuueeu to a point possible for the taxpayer to meet."

J1U GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM TOSACCO OMAHA TO HAVE POWERFUL BROAD CASTING STATION 500 Watt Output from Aerial 100 Feet Above W. 0. W. Building . Will Carry Many Miles. Omaha is to have a mammoth radio broadcasting station that will ; be the equal of any in the country in the near future, according to an- ' nouncement made by W sovereign commander of A. Fraser, the Wood- . ,j Tho studio will be located on the 19th floor of the W. O. W. building in Omaha, and the 100-foot antenna towers are now being raised from th r-)of of the building. "It is said that within , six rftv. according to specifications, the j iant. costing more than $20,000. 'will le without peer in the country, end v.-ork on its installation begins Immediately.

Atlanta, Pittsburg and Den ver in radio entertainment for the i l. .. .1 , . l7u -u ""i! talent, together with the cream of visiting notables, will address the country from Omaha. It is expected that the new station will be licensed to send on the Class B. 4 00 meter wave length, which is governed by rigid restrictions, par- i ticu'arl' in the matter of sending mechanical music, the giving of edu cational lecture-; at frequent inter vals, etc. Wanted W. 0. W. Call Although Mr. Fraser endeavored to get call letters TVOW for the sta - tion to be located stop the Woodmen j nroaacast are now unaer way in me Omaha Chamber of Commerce "The broadcast apparatus will be of standard Western Electric type to be installed by Western Electric company expert", from New York," said Mr. Fraser. Will Render Programs Programs will be radiated from a sound-proof studio second to none in the country and so arranged as to give the most volume to the voice or music without the hollowness that is noticeable in the case of soundproof studios now in use by several of the larger stations of the country. This i studio is being constructed on the nineteenth floor of the Woodmen of the World building at a cost of some $1."00. The broadcasting apparatus will cost more than $14,000, and with in stallation costs, the entire station will represent an outlay of approxi mately $20,000. However, it should be worth several times that amount from the standpoint of advertising Omaha and Nebraska to the world, and if the business interests of Om aha subscribe to the expense of its daily operation they will find it money well spent. Specifications call for a 500 watt output, which is five times that of Omaha's most powerful station now, and the equal of all the premier broadcasting stations of the country today. Its radius should cover the entire United States and Canada and under favorable conditions it mes sages should be picked up as far away as Alaska and the Hawaaian islands. The 100 foot high antenna fromatop Omaha's tallest building will place the station at a distinct advantage compared with those of many sta tions over the country. Plattsmouth radio fans will wel come, the appearance of WOAW on the air and take great interest in the fine array of talent we feel sure will be made available from its fine new studio.

Government officials today frankly admitted they were investigating reports that Rus sian crown jewels to the value of $4,000,000 had been smuggled into this country in the coffin of an Amer ican sailor and buried in the nation al cemetery in Brooklyn. While au thorities in Washington continued to disclaim official knowledge of pre vious efforts to locate the jewels in the Brooklyn grave, as set forth yes terday in a copyrighted story pub lished by the Chicago Daily News, it was announced both here and in Washington that the story of the smuggled jewels, now that it had been printed, would be thoroughly investigated, but that the dead would not be disturbed unless sufficient evidence should be produced to war rant opening the grave. William B. Williams, special agent of the treasury department, who pre viously admitted he was working on "a Russian jewel case." preserved strict silence today until Assistant Secretary Clifford in Washington had issued an official statement, announc ing that an investigation had been ordered. Meanwhile the grave of Seaman James Jones, who died on the army transport Edellyn at Gibralter in August, 1920. on the way to the Uni.ted States from Vladivostok and into whose coffin the jewels were re ported to have been slipped, remain ed undisturbed under its mantle of snow. A band of reporters who assembled at the cemetery shortly after dawn, and who remained there during the day, obtained from Superintendent Buschman confirmation of the fact that Jones was buried In the ceme tery.

"Before I began taking Tanlac a ! half hour at cleaning house would j tire me more than a whole day's work does now." is the statement of Mrs. F. P. Jones, 200 S Halstead St., i Chicago Heights, 111. "I have answered lots of questions lately about what it is that has made me look so healthy and happy and full of energy and it always gives me pleasure to speak a good word for Tanlac. i "My troubles were indigestion, ex treme nervousness, poor appetite and countless headaches. I was so tired and worn out I often had to sit down and rest while about my household affairs. ; "My daughter took Tanlac and praised it so highly that I began tak ing it, too. and after the first bottle I felt more active than I had in a long time. Three bottles made such a difference in me that my friends stopped me on the streets and said I looked fifteen years younger, and I certainly do feel that way, too."
