Greenwood Has an Auto Wreck.
A large car from Omaha, the name
of which we did not get. on last

was making at a very rapid rate and
struck the car of Mis. W. C. Wtn
rantz. Jr., as she! was in the avt of
backing out cf the middle of the
street, throv.inc her car around, and
breaking it somewhat, crumpling up
tbe fenders and at the same time
struck the c:r of Mrs. Thomas D.
Mahar, also crumpling the fenders or.
this car. The man who was a travel
ing Falesman carried a policy on his
car and had the other cars as well as
his taken to the garage where the
damage was repaired. There was no
injury to the persons wltn the ex
ceptie'n of a shaking up when the
crntact came.
Ditching Machine at Wark.
The ditching machine which is
straightening out Salt Creek between
Greenwood and Waverly, is getting

some of the new ditches at this time.
They have gone about a mile with
their work and are getting along
nicely. In cutting through the neck
of one loop with a ditch about 200
feet in length they were able to
shorten the, course of the stream a
half mile or more.

$2 WHEAT SEEN
Chicago. July 1. Wheat will sell
at 2 a bushel before the 1925 crop
is marketed, P. V. Kwing, director of
the reaseareh division of the Sears
lloebuek agricultural foundation,
predicted today. Ilhis forecast was
based on a study of statistics.
"There will be a shortage of nearls
200.000.000 bushels in the present
winter wheat crop, as compared with
last years." Kwing declared. "The
world carry ever shows a decrease
of nearly 15o.000.000 bushels. Spring
wheat prospects are favorable, but
the crop probably will decrease in
condition as harvest approaches."
Ewir.g said the total wheat crop in
the "United States probably would not
exceed 6 65.000.000 bushels, which is
about equal to the average domestic
consumption, and does not allow for
the inevitable export business.
"We would not be surprised to see
$2 wheat before the 1925 crop is all
sold, , Lwing said.

Fight Against Live Stock
Law
Inaugural steps of a campaign aim

stock for tuberculosis were taken
by Watcrloon and Elkhorn farmers
Thursday night et an indignation
meeting at Elkhorn.
Farmers of Douglas, Sarpy, Wash
ington and Saunders counties attend
ed and pointedly expresseel them
selves in favor of curbing "onDres-
sive tactics" of state livestock in
spectors. Four hundred farmers attended the
meeting, which was sai.l to he one of
the largest of its kind ever held in
Douglas county.
The meeting was tlie outcome of
the arrest and fining of Jonn Burke,
farmer rear Klkhcrn. for striking Dr.
C. G. Hays, chief of the state bureau
of animal industry. Purke, roiled at
methods of state inspectors, struck
and forcibly ejected Dr. Haj's from
his farm when he sought to Inspect
his cattie.
Dr. Hays today informed Chief
Deputy County Attorney John Yea

Monday, against John Burke for in
terference with enforcement cf the
testing law. He intimated that he
would not take this step if tbe farm
ers would consent to the tests.
Fanners Open Fund.
Elkhorn and Waterloo farmers
pledged SC20 to a fund to te.st the
constitutionality of th state law be
fore the state supremo court. A com

with full authority to determine the
legality of the law.
Farmers from other counties

Words to New "Star Spangled Banner"
by II. W. Ellis, Washington, D. C.
II. W. Ellis, e,f Washington, is the latest to ndvocate changing
the words oi the '"Star Spangled Banner." He likes the music but
thinks Key's words no longer appropriate. He explains:
"They seem to have been written in the midst of or prompted
by the circumstances of a particular battle, with the author's heart
stirred by the ccr.fu.-.ion , terror and hatred of such an awful ex
perience. Some of the verses are difficult to follow and to memorize
under any ircumstances, i nd they do not couvey a sentiment which
is appropriate for a national song of this kind. Possibly it is the
words which have prevented its official recognition as the national
anthem."
These are the word s he pre poses:
Oh, say, do you see gently waving in flight
What so proudly we hail with a joyful devotion?
Just the stars anel stripes iu the blue anel the white,
But the emblem that stirs every loval emotion!
Let our cheers fill the air, let our hearts breathe a prayer
For the country we love so exemplified there.
Oh, long may that Star Spangled Banner still wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh, say, do you know of the le ng, bitter fight.
Of the struggle, the hardship, the cruel privation
That our fathers went through but who stood for the right.
And who finally gave us this wonderful nation?
Oh. the praise that is due to the good men and true
Who have leit us this emblem of lied. White and Blue.
Ah, yes, may that beautiful banner now wave
As the token of freedom, a gift from the brave!
Oh. say, shall we stand as eur fathers have stood?
Shall wo carry our share of the great obligation
To continue their work and preserving the good.
Pass along still more good to the next generation?
Yes, we stand for what's just, and we'll fight if we must,
With this our assurance "In God is our trust."
Yes. ever, with honor that banner must wave
This a prayer to our Godthis 'our plea to the brave!
AMERGAN OiG GAME
ANIMALS SHOW GAIN
California Leads States in Number of
Animals in National Forest Re
serves Says Eeport.
Washington, June 10. A census
of big game snitnals in the 159 na
tional forests which has just been
taken by the Forest Service shows
CS7.000 head, ail increase of about
44,000 head more than last year.
after allowance has been made for the
44,300 heael of bears not included in
the estimates of former years.
This may be elue in part to the
fact that 1024, being a very elry year,
the animals were concentrated
around watering places to an un
usual elegree and were therefore
easier to count.
Deer represent the bulk of the big
game animals with a total of 550,
000 for 1921, compared with 511,124
for the previous year.
The five states crcaited with the
largest number of deer are, in the
order of their rank, California, Ore
gon, Montana, Idaho, and Arizona.
Alaska, also is- credited with about
the same number 50,000 head as
the two last named states. More than
half the deer listed on the national
forests in Arizona inhabit the Kai
bah forest. Efforts are now being
made to reduce this Kaibab herd
since tha amount of forage available
is insufficient to support it.
In the 19 24 estimates bears were
included as game rather than as
predatory animals, the figures shew
ing 44,300. head on the 159 national
forests. Of this total 3S.700 were of
being inspected to death," said J. E.
Quinn, chairman of the meeting.
"We are pestered to death, by in
spectors from Lincoln, prying into
our affairs."
H. B. Grobeck, who said he repre
sented Omaha Milk Producers asso
ciation, said, "we want to co-operate
with you."
Mullen Hits Facts.
Arthur Mullen, Omaha attorney,
engaged by the farmers to press their
action, said the agents do tnelr work
in an offensive, unreasonable and im
proper way.
He warned farmers not to use vio
lence in resisting inspection of their
cattle. "Inspection laws are good if
properly administrated,' he said'.
"Alleged incidents of where cattle
condemned to death as tubercular
sufferers were found to be healthful
animals and where cattle which were
pronounced to be "O. K." were found
to be in the last stages of the plague,
were given.
Other reported Incidents of where
whole herds of cattle were tested
without sterilization of instruments,
thus exposing them to Infecion, also
were cited.
URGES PLAIT TO STOP
RAVAGES OF PLATTE
Lincoln, Neb., July 3. An effort
is being made by George K. Leonard
of the Woods Brothers' Construction
company, Lincoln, to interest State
Agriculture Secretary McLaughlin,
Chief Game Warden Jenkins, and
Superintendent W. J. O'Brien of the
Gretna fish hatchery in a project for
protecting the north bank of the
Platte river from further washing
away by the current, where it ad
joins the hatchery grounds and
threatens to cut into some of the
fish ponds.
Protective work of steel and trees,
placed along this bank at the point
mentioned, will step tbe gradual en
croachment of the river which has
betn going on for several years, Mr.
Leonard s:;id today. The estimated
cost would be a little over 5 thou
sand dollars.
CULL0P MAINTAINS HOME
RUN LEAD IN SOUTHERN
Nick Cullop. former Buffalo first
baseman and pitcher. but now a
member of the Atlanta Southern
league term, adeied two home runs to
his' total during the last week and is
still showing the way to Southern
league circuit drive hitters with a
total ef IS. Cullop was farmed to
Atlanta by the New York Yankees.
the black and brown varieties, the
balance of 5,600 being grizzlies.
Nearly all grizzlies listed were found
on the two national forests in Alaska.
Montana is the only stale in which
the forest rangers were able to find
more than a scattering few of thi,3
bear.
Elk have increased in all western
forests, more than 52, COO head be
ing listed for 1924 compared with
4!,.:00 in 1923. On the Teton Na
tional Forest bordering the Yellow
stone National Park the elk herd
has shown a notable increase. For
ost service officials are again facing
the question of keeping this heril
down to a number than can be sup
ported by available forage.
Antelope, or pronghorns, are still
in a very unsatisfactory conelition.
The 1924 count., shows only a few
more than 5,000 of these animals,
most of which arexto be found iii
the national forests of Arizona and
Idaho. In northwestern Nevada and
southeastern Oregon there is a large
antelope herd grazing on public
lands outside the national forest
areas. An effort is being made to
obtain the establishment of a game
refuge which will cover the habitat
of this herd so that it may be saved
from extermination.
The number of moose found in
192 4 shows a loss compared with
1923. only 5,100 head of these ani
mals being shown last year compared
with S, 000. in 1923. However, it is
explained that this difference in fig
ures may be attributed in large part
to more accurate estimates. The num
ber of mountain seep and mountain
goats in the national forests is given
as 12,400 and 17,200, respectively, a
slight increase over 1923. Buffaloes
were dropped out of the 13 24 esti
mates a? these animals are now to
be found only in protected hards.
DOHENY'S WAR
SCARE STORY !S
A TRUE ONE
Conflict With Oriental Power In 1921
Only Averted By An Act Of
Providence.
Washington, July 1. "Every word
of Doheny's statement regarding Ad
miral Robinson's description of the
imminent danger of war between the
United States and an Asiatic power
in the Pacific in 1921 is true in
fact, it is a conservative statement
of the facts."
That assertion was made today b$
a high naval officer after reading Ed
ward L. Doheny's own story of the
Elk Hill oil leases, which the federal
court in Los Angeles recently de
clared invalid because of alleged cor
ruption in the transaction.
While details as to the processes
and personalities concerned in the
actual leases are inaccurate and, in
parts, untrue, according to Edward
C. Finney, acting secretary of the in
terior, and an evident attempt to in
fluence public opinion and prospec
tive jurors, that portion of Doheny's
story relating to conditions in the
Pacific in 1921 were amply confirmed
by naval officials.
Quake Averts War
"Only an act of providence an
earthquake averted war in the Pa
cific," said one high naval official.
"Had that earthquake not destroyed
vast stores of oil and war supplies
and interrupted a tremendous naval
and aerial program, the United
States might have been invaded by
an oriental army."
Anti-American feeling in Japan
growing out of the California alien
land laws, combined with desire of
Japan to extend its territorial do
minion, were given by naval author
ities a3 the motives behind the war
preparations of Japan.
A crisis was precipitated by the
attack of a Japanese mob on a shore
party of bluejackets from the gun
boat Albany. Two of the crew were
killed and several injured.
It was a report on this incident by
Rear Admiral Cleaves, then in com
mand of the Pacific fleet, which
prompted Rear Admiral John K. Rob-i-on.
chief of the naval bureau of
engineering, to lay before Doheny
his plan for establishing a fuel oil
storage base at Tearl Harbor, Ha
waii. Deposition Clipped
The war crisis in the Pacific at
the time the Washington arms con
ference was called, and the necessity
for establishing an oil supply base
at Pearl Harbor, were described in
a deposition made by Admiral Rbbi
on for use at Cheyenne.
By agreement of counsel for the
government and for Harry F. Sin
clair, lessee of Teapot Dome, that
portion of the deposition was clipped
hut with a pair of shears.
While attorneys for Sinclair ad
mitted today that they had seen the
deleted portion of the Robison depo
sition, they refused to discuss it for
ethical reasons.
Wilbur Covers Facts
Full details were set forth in the
o dispatches, 51 letters, 50 reports
and five memorandums made to the
navy department by Admiral Cleaves,
Commander L. C. Richardson of the
Albany and other naval observers in
the orient.
Counsel for Sinclair called for
these documents in the Cheyenne
trial. They were forwarded by Sec
retary Wilbur with the statement
that they were of "a confidential
nature, the disclosure of which
would be injurious to the public in
terests." Friends of Admiral Robinson said
today that he had sealed orders from
Secretary Wilbur to "go to jail"
rather than reveal the details of the
Pacific crisis in 1920 and 1921.
HALF BILLION TAX CUT
ADVOCATED BY JONES
Washington, July 1. Tax reduc
tion of ?500. 000.000 at the next
session of congress was advocateel to
day by Senator Jones, democrat. New
Alexico, a member of the senate fi
nance committee.
Such a reduction would be possible,
he held, if the British debt payments.
approximating 2 hundred million
dollars a year, were applied to the
sinking fund to take the place of a
like amount annually appropriated
out of tax revenues for reduction of
the bonded indebtedness.
Favoring retention of a federal in
heritance tax, he believes it should
be made to apply only to the actual
inheritance by each individual after
reduction of all taxes.
