Essen. Sept. 6. If the government of Chancellor Stresemann decides to make direct overtures to France and Belgium to end the Ruhr deadlock, regardless of what Great .Britain does, it will have the support of an overwhelming' proportion of the in dustrial leaders and of the German population generally, provided Ger man sovereignty in the occupied ter ritories is guaranteed. TEls opinion was expressed to the correspondent of the Associated Press today by a prominent manu facturer who requested that "for ob vious reasons" his name be not men tioned. The manufacturer declared that there now was no use in hiding the fact that everybody felt it was time to begin to do everything pos sible to bring to an end an impossi ble economic situation. . ' Would Meet Half Way "We are ready," said the manu facturer, "to discuss any sort of set tlement which would leave each side with a reasonable amount of honor. Most of the manufacturers and heads of industry see there is no use of further counting on Great Britain. We must realize that if Germany, France and Belgium could throw away pride and come to reason we could reach an accord that would be best for all concerned. "For our part, we are willing to meet them half way." This manufacturer said he thought the more level heads on both sides were beginning to realize that the present situation could not last with out great loss to both sides and in tolerable suffering to the population. He added frankly that it was be cause the Germans thought if the endurance test was continued France CLEAN your closets and picture tops. Clean the grit from the bottom of your rug.

Pi " undoubtedly could force terms that the German leaders wanted to begin to talk business. Can Either Side Gain? "France apparently is all power ful." he said, "and eventually could bring us to our knees; but would she or we gain anything, materially or morally, by going to such an extrem ity? We still believe that continued passive resistance would keep France and Belgium forever from putting the Ruhr industries on a paying ba sis; but we quite realize tnat ranee and Belgium could prevent us from restoring our industries to a point where they would pay. "In the Ruhr each side has the other by the throat, neither can breathe until the other lets go.". Two prerequisites to a settlement of the controversy, in the belief of this representative of industry, were restoration of occupied territory to complete sovereignty and fixing. once for all time, the definite amount Germany must pay. "The main thing," he said, "is that conciliation is in the air, if France and Belgium want to make a bargain with us ot restore European civiliza tion on a real partnership basis." NEW CHARGE FOR REV. BUCKNER Goes to Congregational Pastorate at Chamberlain, S. D., Formerly Occupied by His Son. Aurora, Neb., Sept. 5. Lst Sun day saw the Rev. J. D. M. Buckner take his place in the Congregational church at Chamberlain, S. D. This writes another chapter in the ecclesi astical battle between this minister and the officers of his church. It will be remembered that Mr. Buckner was removed from the pastorate, ac cording to his claims in the papers by his bishop last fall, because he had been preaching a too liberal theology, disclaiming his belief in the Bible as an inspired book and his disbelief of other tennents held by the Methodist church at large. A reception was given tc Mr. Buckner by the church here of which he was the pastor for a number of years, m response to tne toasts given at the reception. Mr. Buckner explained that while he was taking up the work in the Congregational ! church it was because he had been iinamp tr utrnr& a nastnrnto in nf Methodist church in this or nearby ! states.

M. in This Lo cality and Last Until 3:58 60 Per Cent Complete The residents of the United States ;will have the opportunity on next ! Monday of viewing an eclipse of the !sun that will cover seven-twelfths of 'the surface of the orb of day and which in this portion of the country will enter into the eclipse at 1:44 in the afternoon and pass from the shadow of the moon at 3:58 p. m. This will be an unusual opportun ity for the students of astronomy as well &s science to make observations and a great many are planning to set up their cameras and secure photograps of the sun as it is shad owed. The following relative to the eclipse will be of a great deal of in terest to the persons who are plan ning to observe the eclipse as well as to those who are to try and photo- ! graph the unusual occurance. The eclipse will be seen in tne greater part of this country only as a partial covering of the sun's disk by that of the moon. The path of total eclipse, which is less than 100 miles wide, will pass through the extreme southern end of California, ljust including San Diego, tnrougn the northern part of lower i:amor nia and then down through Mexico. An eclipse is a great opportunity for scientific observers, many of whom will be stationed at different points along this band of totality for mak ing their photographs and experi ments. It is suggested that the smallest stop be used in the lens and the shutter set for the fastest speed, then make one exposure every five minutes without turning the film during the eclipse. A single exposure can of course be . made of the eclipse, in which case the camera can be held in the hands, but a succession of images at equal distances apart will make a more effective showing. A color filter would aid in preventing over-exposure if the day is unusually clear and the atmosphere free from haze. It is suggested however, that no change be made in the combination of stop and shutter speed mentioned above, even if a G filter is used. In place of a filter a piece of film that has been exposed to light and de veloped to ood density could be used in front of the lens to prevent over exposure. It is also recommended that if the sun is not obscured by clouds the time of development be reduced to half of that which would be given normally. Another series of interesting pic tures at the time would be photo graphs of the crescent-shaped im ages of the eclipsed sun. which are cast on the ground in the Ehadows of trees and on walls shaded by i foliage These imaees aDDear auite sharp - ly defined, being focused through tbe'nnnrni!

Miss Margaret Fede. head of the LEGION WINNER OF RACE TO SEEK -PARDON FOR VET Mississippi Slayer Freed by Acting Governor While Executive is Absent Frcm the State. Jackson. Miss., Sept. 7. The American Legion today obtained a pardon for Sharp Welborn, former service man, and in accomplishing the feat afforded that part of Missis sippi between Pickens and Jackson and along the Illinois Central rail road from McComb to the Louisiana state line great excitement. It was a race between two powerful automo biles, one from Jackson to Canton, 24 miles, the other from Pickens to Can ton, 20 miles, and an Illinois Central flyer with Governor Russell aboard bound north from New Orleans. The legionnaires had set out to meet Lieut. Gov. Homer Sasteel at Canton before the train crossed the state line at Osyka and they won the race with only eight minutes to spare. "Welborn served in the navy and later became mentally defective from exposure at sea. In 1919 he com mitted manslaughter in Jasper coun ty. He had hardly begun to serve a sentence of eight years before the le gion, the veterans bureau and hun dreds of Mississippians started a cam paign for a pardon in order that the offer of the veterans bureau to send him to a hospital for treatment might be accepted. Governor Russell stead fastly refused clemency. Governor Russell visited Memphis, Tenn., for a day last spring and dur ing his absence the lieutenant gover nor issued a pardon. As a result of the controversy that followed legal authorities ruled that the lieutenant governor had power to grant clem ency while acting as chief executive. The governor countered with the declaration that not until his term expired in January would he again leave the state, but he did so last night and it was this the legion took advantage of. Curtis Green, state commander of the legion, head that the governor was in New Orleans. By the time he had confirmed the report he was ad vised Mr. Russell had boarded a train for Jackson. Legionnaires were or dered to report the time of its arriv al at Osyka on the state line. Green and his co-workers here tel ephoned the lieutenant governor at Pickens to go to Canton as quickly as possible. Green, Welborn's attor neys and Secretary of State Joseph V. Bower armed with the legal par don forms, started from Jackson In another car. The lieutenant gover nor drove from Pickens to Canton. Meantime the party from Jackson was rushing northward. Both cars drew up at Madison county court house simultaneously and the lieu tenant governor signed Welborn pardon at 10:18 a. m. The train bearing the governor crossed . the state line at Osyka at 10:26. BRYAN TALKS OF RECENT PROTES "If such a resolution was adopted by the Nebraska farm bureau federa tion," said Governor Bryan, "some one who has been inoculated more with politics than, bovine tuberculo sis must have imposed upon the fed eration," says the State Journal. The governor had reference to resolution which says he has refused to recognize the new state law for the eradication of bovine tuberculo sis and recommends that steps be taken by farm organizations to com pel the governor to permit the en forcement of the law, He said he had heard no complaint about failure to enforce the law. "The state has made all arrange ments- and is prepared to carry out the intent of 'that law and all other laws under the governor's jurisdic tion," said Governor Bryan. The federal government has been asked to meet the state appropriation of $2S5,000 for eradication. The state department of agriculture has ap proved rules submitted br the fed eral department, The governor explained that the legislature amended the law relating to so-calld area work so as to require a petition representing a majority of tne owners and a majority of the livestock in a county. Only one county. Polk, has filed such a peti tion. This petition is beiher checked for sufficiency and form. Fifteen per cent of the appropriation Is ac credited herds, but only one inquiry has been received under this head. and he was told that part of the law Is to be enforced The law seems to eliminate dairy interests of the state," said the gov ernor. Though much has been said about eradication as a health meas ure there is no provision in the law to permit owners of dairy cattle to get indemnity. The law covers only breeding cattle, but I hope it can be construed so as to cover dairy in terests. "I have communications from phy sicians in this and pther states which say human health is not endangered by bovine tuberculosis. We have no such law in the state north of Ne braska nor in the state south of us. so if eradication protects health we " . t are without this protection along our hnrflor. "Condemned cattle are approved by federal inspectors at packing houses and the meat is sold at full price for beef. The medical profes sion has not approved laws for eradi cation of bovine tuberculosis. It is the horse doctors and the packers. MAULEY NEWS ITEMS : i TfT..T.T. IT A.

FOUND THEM ALL BUSY The representative of the Journal accompanied by his better half took a trip through the country last Sat urday to see how the farmers were prospering and the first stop was at the home of S. G. Cisney where we found he has been picking corn from this year's growing for the feeding of his hogs and an excellent quality of corn for this year, hard enough to feed and grown on the farm of C. R. Troop. Mr. Cisney himself was over on the north and south road cutting trees and brush which over hung the road and in the winter af forded a place for the snow to lodge. Mr. Cisney was endeavoring to get the road in such a condition that K. L. Kniss the mail carrier could get through. We next stopped at the home of Nelson Berger who had just returned from a trip to Omaha where he had taken his neighbor. William Jourgeson to the hospital for a spe cial examination since having his leg broken with a gas engine sometime ago. Mr. Jourgeson will have to re main at the hospital for some time. Mr. Berger had us visit his vineyard and orchard and loaded up with grapes and apples on our departure. Thanks. Nelson. We next found Nick Klaurens in the hay field, he having it all on his hands now as John Frans who has been with him has accepted a position in the Bur lington shops at Plattsmouth and Roy Klaurens with the M-ife has gone to Peru to attend the normal school there. Leaving there we stopped at the home of W. C. Hodge where we found him and son Sterling having the farm work in good shape and their crops looking fine. At the home of C. W. Fleischman we found that gentleman harvesting his po tato crop and from about quarter of an acre has secured a wagon box with the side boards on of excellent tubers about fifty bushels and of a very fine quality. We next stopped at the home of W. A. Ost where we were greeted by that genial gentle man and his amiable wife, visiting for a time with them.
