The record low price on the Ger man mark was reached today when they were quoted at 5.000,000 for one American dollar, and practically wiped out the hope of the stabaliz ing or redemption of the vast sums of paper currency that have been placed In circulation in Germany in the last few months. In fact it is now so worthless that with a $10 bill one could gain control of the fortune of many of Germany's weal thiest men $5 for the marks and the other $5 to pay for a storage place for them. They have already gone below the value of the paper on which they are printed, so there isn't much hope' for them. A number of the residents of this city who have made purchases of the marks as an investment stand to lose by the transaction, as financial ex perts of the United States, England and Germany are almost a unit in agreeing that the only outcome must be in the repudiation of the vast amount of currency by the Germr.ns in an effort to stabilize monetarr values and to place the future money on a solid gold standard that will insure it taking its place with the money of the other large countries of Europe. Following the descent of the mark the French franc also reached a rec ord low mark of 18 to the dollar. DOINGS IN THE DISTRICT COURT From Thursday's Dally. This morning an action entitled Martha Celestia Reed vs. David T. GrifQth et al, was filed in the dis trict court in which the plaintiff seeks to have the title quieted in her name to certain real estate in Cass county. A. L. Tidd appears as the attorney for the plaintiff. Attorney C. A. Rawls today filed in the office of the clerk of the dis trict court the petition of his client, Lena Dyke, in which she asks for a decree of divorce from Charles F. Dyke alleging as the cause of action cruelty. The petition also recites that the parties to the suit were mar ried at Glenwood, Iowa, April 10, 1919, and have since made their resi dence in Cass county. PRESENTED WITH JEWELS From Thursday's Dally. Last evening Cass chapter, Order of DeMolay held a special session of the chapter at their lodge rooms in the Masonic temple, and on which occasion two of the past master coun cilors, Raymond Rebal and Edgar L. Peterson were given a very pleasant surprise by their associates In the chapter. The two past masters were presented with very handsome jewel ed emblems of their office, the pre sentation speech being made by Ed ward Mattschullat. present master councilor. The two past masters were in charge of the chapter the first part of the year and have been active in its work since the organi zation in June, 1921. Other business matters were taken up and handled by the chapter. LEAVE FOR INDIANA From Thursdays Dally. Last evening Mrs. J. E. 1 Douglass and son, Dean, departed for Bloom ington, Indiana, where they were called by a message announcing the serious, if not fatal illness of Evald O. Stiehm. well known athletic di rector. The illness of Mr. Stiehm has covered the greater part of the past year and has compelled him to lay aside his work at the University of Indiana, where he was engaged as athletic director. He has sought re lief at the Mayo hospital at Roches ter, Minnesota, but without success and has gradually been failing since nis return to his home. V W . rnnn niiT nP Tiir rnirn Z rnuiviuui ur inttmtn r J. Radio News Broadcasted each J J. Saturday by Station ETAO. Well, who's next: Sidney, Iowa, Tuesday night. Plattsmouth's next program will be given the latter part of Sept. And like its two predecessors, it will surely be "hard to beat." Next week we will give you the date and the name of the organiza tion sponsoring this one. The radio business will begin pick ing up soon after a period of com parative quiet during the past sev eral months. If you expect to overhaul or re build your set for the winter, now is the time to do it for you will be wanting it again soon after the first of September. The fight between the Music Pub lishers association and the broadcast ing stations has commanded atten tion in the columns of the Literary Digest. It is interesting to note the opposing viewpoints regarding pay ment of royalties for broadcasting copyrighted songs. One of the biggest problems of the broadcasting stations is to sup ply their listeners with the kind of programs they like. And that is where we, as listeners, can render valuable service and at the same come pretty nearly getting the kind of programs we want all the time. There isn't a broadcasting station in the country but that will appreciate suggestions and criticism. So, if you like or don't like their program tell them about it. It's mighty easy to write a letter or a postal card. Broadcasting Bargain Bills Plattsmouth merchants are again broadcasting from Station ETAO, the big monthly Bargain Wednesday an nouncement which will be of interest to all our readers." Look for it in today's Journal. More DX Theory Advanced Is radio getting worse with the in creasing number of stations? Last year at this time, when they were practically the only late hour broad casters in the county, WSB, Atlanta, was coming in fine through all kinds of static. But we haven't been able to learn of their being picked up so far this summer with any degree of satisfaction. Some have advanced the claim that the new Omaha sta tion here so close to us fills the air with radio energy that continues long after their broadcasting period and - counteracts the weak incoming waves from DX stations. What is the answer? Plattsmouth Talent in Demand Even when Plattsmouth artists do not give entire radio programs, the talented musicians from this city are frequently called upon to appear in conjunction with other entertainers of Omaha for numbers. Recently Christine Coughlin rendered a piano solo on an Omaha musicians' pro gram; Edna Marshall Eaton has been requested several times but never found it convenient to go at the par ticular time she was wanted; and last night Miss Anna Knoflicek, one of the talented violinists of Platts mouth and a sister of Agnes Knofli cek, whose fame as a Lyceum enter tainer has spread all over the coun try, appeared on the memorial service program given in commemoration of the passing of President Harding.

Following is WOC's mid-summer schedule now in effect: Sunday cnurcn service, 8 p. m. Two hour musical program by P. S. C. orchestra and soloists, beginning at 9 p. m. Wednesday Pipe organ recital at 8 p. m. Late musical program, 10 to 11 p. m., furnished by Blackhawk Hotel orchestra. Tourists' road re port immediately following this pro gram. Saturday une hour dance pro gram, 9:30 to 10:30. Baseball scores and weather fore cast every night except Sunday and Tuesday, at 6:50 p. m. Sunday night at 8:30 and Tuesday night at 6. Chimes concert every week night except Wednesday at 5:45. Sandman's visit every week night except Tuesday at 6:30. ' Some Aerial "Don'ts" Do not expect best results from a loose aerial. Place a coil spring at one end just outside the insulator to keep It drawn taunt at all times. Es pecially will this be needed if you have it attached to trees, as their swaying with the wind will require it to be kept very loose otherwise in order to prevent it being broken. Do not let your lead-in wire touch the siding, window sill or other part of. the frame work on your house, even though it may be insulated. Al though it might work well In dry weather, in a wet season the dialec- tric loss would be enough to cut down the efficiency of your set a good deal. Do not use a poor lightning arres tor that isn't moisture proof. If you do you are apt to set up a circuit to the ground in advance of your lead- in wiring that will carry away much of the radio energy before your set gets a chance at it. Do not splice your aerial unless it la absolutely necessary. An unspliced wire offers the least resistance and you don't have to worry about cor rectly soldered out-door connections. Do not neglect paying as much at tention to your ground as to your aerial. A poor ground connection is juiieu iub cause ui many amicuiues I in correct reception. 1 RAISES QUESTION OF WHETHER THE STATE PAYS ENUF Dr. Stewart, Head of State Institute, Resigned Because $2,500 Year Was Insufficient Pay. When Dr. Stewart, superintendent of the state institution for the feeble minded at Beatrice, resigned a few weeks ago, he said that his chief rea son was that the salary of $2,500 a year was not sufficient. This has been more or less debated among the doctors and laity. One. of the an swers is found in the large number of physicians who are applicants for the position. State flicers think that the pay is enough and several of them have been heard to declare that outside surgeons and some of the specialists there are not half a dozen general practitioners in Lincoln who fare so well, when it is taken into consid eration that the state furnishes these things: Quarters for the superintendent and his family, no matter how large the latter may be. Furniture and fixtures. Food for the whole family. Telephone service. Books and magazines. Exemption from payment of per sonal taxes. The state does not furnish an auto mobile, but it pays the superintend ent 8 cents a mile for every mile he travels in it on state business. All of his maintenance, therefore, is for whatever pleasure trips he takes. A doctor in the city must maintain an office of at least two rooms in a downtown business block, must have a girl to attend to calls and take care of his books and must pay for tele phone service and all supplies. He pays his own living expenses, buys his own medical books and maga zines, maintains ris own automobile. NATURE TELLS YOU As Many a Plattsmouth Reader Knows Too Well. When the kidneys are weak, Nature tells you about it. The urine is nature's index. Infrequent or too frequent passage. Other disorders suggest kidney Ills. Doan's Kidney Pills are for dis ordered kidneys. Plattsmouth people testify to their worth. Ask your neighbor! M. Lauderback, contractor, paint er and paper hanger. Locust street, Plattsmouth, says: "I had lumbago and kidney trouble. I believe the turpentine fumes from the paint was responsible for it. I could hardly bend or life, and I couldn't even turn in bed without help. I had no con trol over my limbs and when I tried to walk, I could not lift them just had to scuff along. My kidneys act ed irregularly and the secretions were highly colored and passed with a burning sensation. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and before finishing the first box which I got at Fricke & Co's. drug store, I felt better in every way. I used three or four boxes and they gave me fine relief. I had an other little attack this spring, but I went to Doan's the first thing and they Btraightened me out again in quick order." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Lauderback had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
