This is not the first visit of robbers to Murdock as thht place has been visited frequently in the past by the unwelcome callers-and looting the stores is nothing new to the busi ness men there, as this has taken place numerous times in the last ft w years since the cars and trucks have made the raids a matter of ease in permitting the speedy getaway of tiie parties. there some were dam- The Murdock School The work at the Murdock school building which has been in course of construction for the past few mouths, is now Gearing completion, the finishing of the wood work is well along while the laying of the lloors is beginning and the work which, the painters will add will has ten the matter of getting the build in ready for occupancy at the be ginning ejf the school year.

July 31. Henry Ford may enter the race for the republi can nomination for United States senator from Michigan, according to a report from Washington in a semi official way by a high state official, says a special dispatc h . from Lansing to the Detroit Free Press.

FREMONT LIGHT RATES REDUCED Fremont, Neb.. July 31. A sweep ing reduction in light and power rates that will mean a saving be tween $30,000 and $40,000 to con sumer? has been ordered by the Fre-:-ioni eicy council. New equipment that lias accomplished a saving at the municipal plant was the reason given for the reduction. Despite the cut. the plant's income will r mount to ? 40.000 annually, it .v 'c s pointed out. and this amount will pay for the upkeep and mainte nance cf the machinery. Under the new light rate, the minimum charge is decreased from $1.26 to $1.17. in cluding the 10 per cnt reduction for prompt payment. The new power rate runs from 6 cents for the first 100 kilowatt hours to 3 1-4 cents for over 600 kilowatt. The new rates give Fremont peo ple light and power at less cost than most cities of equal size. The slash in rates comes with surprise to con sumers who were not expecting re ductions. LA FQLLETTE FORGES SUGAR PROBE ACTION Tariff Commission Hastily Submits F.epcrt of Findings to Presi dent Coolidge. Washington, July 31. The tariff commission transmitted to President Ccolidge today its findings in the in vestigation cf the sugar tariff insti tuted more than a year and a half ago. The fcrm iu which the results of the investigation was communicated to the president was not disclosed either by the commission or at the White House, but the expectation had been that a majority report finding that the present rate was unjusti fiedly high, and a minority report holding th&t existing duties accurate ly represent differences in cost of production at home and abroad, would be laid before the president. The sugar investigation was initi ated in March. 1923, by direction ofj President Harding and has through out been a subject cf dissension within the commission. The inquirv, which covered Cuba and other sources ' rf f" " rni c ti cuinlr 'na cc n- r1 c.t a A erv ' er.il weeks ngo but the commission found itself unable to reach any agreement as to the form in which its report should be presented. The inquiry was brought to the fore two days ago by demand of Sen-( ntor LaFollette. independent candi date for president, for information in j the hands of the commission. Sena-I tor LaFollette also charged that rep-, resentatives of the "sugar interests", had been working to delay comple tion of the commission's work. I It now remains for the president to determine what action shall be taken for. under the law. he alone can make changes in the duties withiu a maximum of 50 per ceut up i Political Aspect to the National De fense Program Brot About by j Action of Gov. Bryan i Washington, Aug. 1. There was no doubt in party leaders minds that the "national defense test" pro posed for September 12, has assumed a startling political significance. j In taking a position squarely be-j hind his running mate. Gov. Charles j W. Bryan, of N'ebiaska, regarding' the mobilization of civilian and in-, dustrial units, John W. Davis, demo-j cratic presidential candidate hurled i the question in the campaign, lead-i ers agree. With that conviction they seek to gauge tiie extent to which the issue would have a bearing on the No vember elections. They see the possi bility of a fierce controversy between the republican and democratic parties, involving military prepared ness on one hand and militarism and war-like demonstrations calcul ated to disturb world peace, on the other. Doth President Coolidge and Mr. Davis ere- now on record on the is sue. Senator La Follette. independ ent presidential candidate, lias not expressed himself on the question, although he has always opposed any thing smacking of militaristic move ments. With Davis' warm approval of Governor Bryan's stand some demo cratic leaders, believing they have the best end of the argument, were inclined today to carry the fight to the republicans. They are contrast ing President Coolidge's rebuke of a pacif.st group, in which he asserted that efforts to construe- 'defense ny' as a "mobilization" were "un fair' to the official instructions is--lUeil by the war department. The latter, they say, makes it plain that a general mobilization is nought. While a general mobilization iu America could not possibly arouse the grave concern that such action by a European nation would cause, tiie democrats believe that it ail be comts this country to engage in such a demonstration at a time when the 'ague of nations is meeting with the question of reducing armaments en its program. lie publican leaders admitted they were- surprised by Davis' prompt ap proval of Bryan's action, after first reports that Bryan's attitude was t i.'.!:-.rassing to the democratic can didate. They contend, however, that Davis can not afford to permit him self to be placed in a pacifist posi tion and say he will have some tx i'.iairing to do before the country uu lerstar.ds his attitude. m "Thresh Your Own with the Advance-Rumely Steel Separator Two-Plow Tractor Size FoR the man who wants to "thresh his own here is an "individual" separator that ha no real rival In the Crt place it is a Rumely.
