CALVERTS UPSET DOPE IN TENNIS DOUBLES MATCH Defeat Ilahood ard Archard in Hard Katch Kay Larson Loses to Veteran of the Courts. From Saturday's Dally Friday's play in the Nebraska net classic now in progress on the uni versity courts, brought out grent matches iu all events ard when the smoke of battle had cleared cvay there were three Lincoln men and one Walthill player in the singles, and only one local team remained to carry the capital city colors in the doubles competition. York. Walthill, Ko'drege and Lincoln will fight it out for the doubles crown. The biggest upset of the day crane when Calvert and Calvert of York, father and son, eliminated Archard and I.Iahood. present state doubles champions, in two sets of sparkling play. John Calvert played a master ful doubles game, his placements be ing uncanny and his judgment of pace unfailing. Alfred, his son. came through with telling drives in the critical moments and his service was an important factor in the victory. Archard was not serving with his usual speed, but was killing lobs in great shape. Mahood was having trouble with hi3 backhand drive. It was anybody's match right up to the last point, and the many rallies brought much applause. Bearg Into Semi-Finals E. E. Bearg advanced into the semi-finals in the upper half of the draw, by beating A. Calvert of York, in a gruelling three-set match. Bcarg's service and volleys swung the battle in his favor. Calvert was serving veil and had good placement and speed on his forehand drive. They fought to a set apiece and with the games four all. Bearg took his service and then broke through ser vice to win the set and match. It was a very pretty match, probably the best of the day. Both men were playing a first class game. Charles Mathewson, veteran net artist from Walthill, put out Larson of Plattsmouth, in straight sets. Mathewson had the edge all the way, but the southeastern player made some beautiful passing shots and dis played a good brand of tennis. Both had their serves working well, but Mathewson had a forehand drive zip ping into the corners, forcing Lar&on to weak returns. Don Elliott Trims Calvert J. Calvert of York lost to Bon El liott, in a hard three-set match. The York entry won the first set, but weakened during the remaining two. Davis and Elli?, who have won the state doubles title four times during their tennis careers, won two matches during the afternoon. They defeat ed Monke and Mitten of Fremont in straight sets, but were hard pressed to win from Bek and Hellewege of Seward, in a three-set match, the final set being a long deuce affair in which every point was stubbornly contested. Elli used his lawford lob to advantage and made many kills by flashing rapidly from the side of the court. Davis was gbod overhead and was serving well. Hellewege and Bek played steadily. Bek's drive forced the winners deep into the back court and Hellewege made many points by killing the return. State Journal. John V. Egenberger and Harold Croscary departed this afternoon for Minneapolis where they will spend some time and maj' decide to locate in that city permanently if they are pleated with the country. SNOW, FOGS, CLOUDS BAR ETAH PLANES MacIIillan and Byrd Impatient when Nature Shackles Attempts to Find New Arctic Base. Washington, Aug. 14. Equipped with airplanes capable of sailing smoothly over hazards once thought impassable, the MacMillan Arctic ex pedition nevertheless has found the natural laws of the north constantly blocking its progress. WTith only IT days of flying weath er in prospect, Commander Donald B. MacMillan and his chief aide, Lieut. Com. R. E. Byrd. are becom ing impatient while low lying clouds, snows and fogs obscure the territory where they hope to establish a base on the Polar sea from which to ex plore an unmapped area covering 1.000,000 square miles. In addition to these troubles, fail ure to find a beach near Etah from which the planes could hop off, has been a disappointment. With such a situation to contend with, those in charge of the expedition feel it is es sential that an intermediate base be established and the planes have skimmed over the jagged snow clad peaks and down deep narrow valleys in sear' h of a landing base at which fuel and food could be cached. The most favorable conditions were found Monday at Beitsadf jord. but Lieuten ant Commander Byrd has advised against a flight to that point until the snow and fogs cease. Berg Nearly Wrecks Plane Commander MacMillan reporting by radio to the National Geographic society Thursday told of the narrow escape from destruction Wednesday night of one of the airplanes which wa. threatened by an iceberg. Such i'-e dangers have been constant and more bergs are looked for. "Vhn the weather clears suffici ently at least 10 flight will be neces sary for the planes to lay down suf ficient food and fuel to establish a temporary base. The geographic society Thursday described the territory over which the planes have been flying as a maze of difficult peaks and valleys. "Efah, the main base at which two sh:pi are anchored," it .said, "lies on the wrstermost tip of Greenland. From this point the shore line of Greenland turns back toward the east and runs in a general north eastern direction for some 600 miles to its most northern point. Etah at Head of Bay "The projection on which Etah lies is at the very head of Baffin Bay. Ellfsmrre Inland bulges eastward to Cape Sabine, practically opposite Etah, helping almost to close Baffin Bay. The narrow neck of water so formed is Smith sound, over which the planes first fly in striking west ward from the ship base. This sound has been found to be filled with ice. After the first advanced base is es tablished the planes will shuttle back and forth across Smith sound carry ing crascline and supplies from the ships. "The coast line of Ellesmere island, which the plains reach after crossing Smith sound, is little less jagged 1: ;i i; e:;tally than the interior I? ier t:cF'' This coast line is a skeleton of fiords, some of thm biting so deeply into the island that they al most meet other fiords from the west coast. It was one of these west coast fiords. Cannon Tiord, for. which the planes set out on their first recon naissance trip. "Although Ellesmere Island has been known at its southern point for several centuries and, although in the l:-st 3 5 years several of its fiords and inland valleys have been explor ed by dog teams first by Greely and his party, and later by Peary, Mac Millan and Sverdrup little is known of the mountain masses of the inter ior. In their initial flights over the interior MacMillan and the other ob servers in the planes have gained a new impression of the extreme rug gedness of this region. 'A :ir FARM BUREAU NOTES t i A Copy for this Department A furnished bv County Agent A ; T. B. Testinq: We are now re-testing cattle in the county. Only herds where reactors were found will be re-tested tlm fall. We hope for the same fine co-operation we had on the first test. Fresh Eggs The hen does her part to help the people in the cities to have fresh eggs for breakfast every morning, for she lay? no other kind; and when that luxury cannot be enjoyed, the blame is not justly laid in biddy's nest.( Maintaining the high quality of her product and then, delivering that quality as close to the consumers' breakfast table as possible is clearly the fr.rmer's job. If he cannot do it satisfactorily without the co-operative help of his neighbor he is justi fied in seeking other co-operation. Receipt Books Popular Trading recipes has long been a favcrite pastime of housewives, so the recipes being made by over 2,- j 000 Nebraska farm women this year under the direction of the agricul tural extension service are proving : mighty popular. The books contain the pet recipes of these 2,000 women jfor preparing potatoes, cabbage, to matoes, apples and prunes. Each county taking this food selection pro ject has its own book. The books were maue for those women who en rolled in the project.

Landholm Murdoch, Nebraska FARMERS U RESIST ANCE TO COMPANY Consumers Service & Supply Com pany Seek to Enforce Payment of Notes Given in 1920. C. II. Steward, secretary of the Ne braska bureau federation, appeared with Gust A. Partzat and other farm ers of Raymond, before Attorney General Ppillman and Assistant At torney General Basye to ask that legal steps be taken to prevent the Consumers Service & Supply Co. of Chicago and Minneapolis from col lecting notes given by farmers on contracts sold by the company in February, 1920. Seventy farmers near Seward are said to hold contracts similar to those sold at Raymond. Holders of the contracts asked If the blue sky law applies to the sale of such contracts. It is the opinion of the attorney general that the blue sky law formerly did not, but that the amendment covers such transactions. The contract with Mr. Bartzat at Raymond calls for the payment of a total of $85. An initial payment is called for. The contract is for five years. The company agrees to act as the farmer's commission merchant in buying of goods and machinery. The company represents that it can buy goods and farm machiney cheeper than the ordinary consumer, and that the farmer vll find it to his ad vantage to get along without a mid dleman other than the company. It also offers to advise the contract holder in legal matters, offers to serve as his medical adviser and to furnish the services of a veterinary surgeon. One farmer informed the attor ney general that his original con tract called for the payment of $G3, but that the company charged him for each letter of advice on subjecto he had inquired about and at the end of five years the company had him charged with $161.. Collection is now being pushed in some cases. Notes given in 1920 are said to be out lawed. MRS. ROOSEVELT TO JOIN INDIA PARTY Chocorua. N. H., Aug. 14.

George Trunkenbolz Oil Company Murdock -:- -:- Nebraska MOBILE M JL JL RAILROADS ASK RATE RAISE GF 5 PER GENT Assert This Is Necessary to Give Them a Proper Beturo on Investment. Chicago, 111.. Aug. 1". Western railroad-, whose ape:'.! tr the inter state commerce committee for an in crease in rates will be given a hefir :: in rates next month in ChicaT'. an nounced in a joint statement today that they would ask for an advance of approximately 5 per cnt. On the basis -of valuation fiuri's prepared by the railroads, the state ment said a greater amount 'if addi tional earnings than the 5 per cent advance was estimated to brinv would be needed to give the carriers the return of f 94 per cent on their property investment, which ;eturu the interstate commerce commission has power to grant. The curriers, it declared, do not. however, "intend i ask an fncrease in rates that might prove an item of importance in any instance to the commerce of the west ern states, and do not intend to de mand the full measure of their rights under the law." "They propose," the statement as serted, "to ask at this time the res toration of only a portion ef the de crease in rates imposed upon them in 1922. confident in the belif f that tbi moderate advance will have no ad verse effect on any authority ;:nd with the hope that this advance, to gether with such individual relief as may be granted by the int rstate com merce commissi in cither individutal readjustments may avoid the neces sity of a greater general incre.ise. "As a practical mtans of carrying this emergency program into effect, the carriers are proposing r.cncrul advance in freight rates which ap proximate 5 per ce-nt; maintaining established rate relationship.-:. In tin instance of certain commodities, the carriers will propose as a matter of expediency that the percentage of advance be converted into one ap plicable in an equal amount to all rates. As a few illustrations: on grain they will propo; e a unii Tm ad vance equivalent to approximately 1 per cent per bushel; on coal. 15 cents per ton; on clay, gravel and stone. 7 1 -2 cents per ton; on cement, 2u cents per ton."
