JJ: PAGE THREE PIATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL MONDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1925. College Days and Daze Seen as Lloyd Stars He Sought the Throne of Popularity, bnt They Crowned Him Boob Here Four Days. Harold Lloyd brings to the Par mele this week in "The Freshman" a story of college days the most magical days of the most envious age the Age of Youth! The age when a fellow comes to grips with life when he begins to realize he's going out into a big world, either to be a leader or a followej of men. In this feature picture, which is i lu-'luled to open its four day run "i re Wednesday, Lloyd plays the 'e of Harold Lamb, who goes to Urge with the worthy ambition to o the most popular boy in the en tire school. College meant tearing liimself away from all the associa tions of his boyhood away from his mothers loving influence and his his father's wise advice! Away from his admiring friends, into a new world. A world that he wanted to see at his feet, worshipping him as the best regular fellow it had ever known. Hut how unkind is youth! When Harold got to college all they saw was a chap trying so hard to be popular that he tipped over back wards and was just funny! The very first day the school bully sized up Harold as being so innocent that he'd swallow a hook big enough to catch a whale, and never even gulp! Oh. it was great sport practicing jokes on him razzing him riding him playing him for a boob! Then, when he thought he had just about dethroned the present college hero, they told him he never could win that coveted place until he got on the football team. So. undaunted, he made a try. The only position cpen was the one of dummy. The team was in rotten shape. The coach gave them his choicest bawl ing out it was a sizzler. They need ed tackle practice, but the dummy had given up the ghost, so Harold volunteered. and when the coach called a halt Harold understood why the dummy passed out! But was he down-hearted? No! So they took him on as water boy and let him think he was a sub! At last, he'd made the team! And then he won the heart of Peggy, the cutest thing in the co-ed school, and everyone was having a rearing time (and Har old a ripping time in a basted dress suit) at a party of which he was host when the crash came! Youth's dreams, alas, must ever burst. Their beautiful bright hope3, ideals and ambitions get ground be neath the steam roller of Life as it is. Disillusionment was inevitable, and when it came it left Harold with a broken heart! Peggy offered balm that was soothing and advice that was priceless. "Be yourself! Stop pretending! Be the thing you are, not what you think they want you to be." Good psychology sound ground work for a drama, and. as it is used in "The Freshman," it is a founda tion for a story of rib-shaking laughs heart-touching tears and spine-tingling thrills. This is Harold Lloyd's most ambitious comedy effort. "The Freshman" has large sets, a large cast of principals Jobyna Ral ston. Hazel Keener, Pat Harmon, Brooks Benedict. James Anderson and Joe Harrington and hundreds of real college boys and co-eds for extras. The football scenes were taken be fore eight thousand persons gathered at Berkeley Stadium to witness a big Stanford - University of California game. The fact that the picture will be shown here four days, affords every one opportunity to see it and no njoviV fan will pass up the opportun ity, we venture to say, of seeing the former X- braska boy who has risen to the pinacle of success.

Old Poorhouse Has Become a Relic in West Modern Structures With Larger Bugets Serve Fewer Dependents Chicago, The county poorhouse of song and story, a place of drudg ery and unpleasant environs, has virtually passed from the middle west and now serves chiefly as a warning to youth to be thrifty. At the same time the poorhouse popu lation generally is showing a slight but steady decline. In most middlewestern states the poorhouse population has declined several hundred in the last 10 to 30 years. The good crop years in North Dakota have emptied two of the State's six poor farms, and at the other four there are only 52 per sons. Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan also show de creases in the infirmary population, but a great increase in the amount expended for their care. Comfortable homes have replaced the squalid institutions recalled by the famous poem of Will Carleton, which was commemorated last week by a tablet on the poorhouse "over the hill" near Hillsdale College, Michigan. A few of the poorfarms are en tirely self-supporting, notably tne "rich poorfarm" near Bristow, Okla., on which oil was discovered. The greater part of the oil revenue, how ever, goes to other county expendi tures, besides the care of the infirm ary inmates. Self-Supporting Farms Iowa is a leader in the develop ment of self-supporting poorfarms, more than a dozen counties in the State having farms of 200 acres or more which pay all their expenses Wifh 95 poorfarms, the number of inmates was decreased 300 in five years to 32S9.. Minnesota's county homes are op erated on a scale comparing favor ably with the best privately owned farms, yet the number of persons in them as public charges remains about the same from year to year. Many of the places are modern farms with all the conveniences of city homes and all modern appliances. They at tract many visitors. Expenses are borne by the counties individually, which are spending this year 1.312,760 for maintenance Tumbledown shacks have given way in Michigan to modern brick and frame structures, and landscaping has been tried. Denudred farms have been made to flourish again. These improvements are attributed to the increasing prosperity of the communities. Ten years ago there were 9374 residents of county farms. for whom $964,94 3 was expended compared with 9291 persons in 1924 and expenditures of $2,678,503. Modern Improvements Indiana's homes for the indigent and elderly, while not of monumen tal proportions, are modernized, and a majority of the institutions are of brick. Furnace or steam heat running water, bathrooms, electric lighting, and the increased prices of food and fuel have increased the cost of maintenance approximately 400 per cent in the last 20 years Thirty years ago there were 3731 persons cared for, the population now being 3301. The state now spends nearly $2,000,000 annualy for such institutions. Oklahoma has county homes in 29 of the 77 counties. The majority of counties care for paupers by pension systemsand by caring for them in private homes. Several of the homes are modern. In Kansas, where children and insane and feeble minded persons are cared for with the indigent, the total population of homes has in creased approximately 100 in 10 years to about 1000. Missouri counties as a whole are spending more money for improving almshouses than in past years. PAIR TO BE RENOMINATED Pierre, S. D Nov. 18. While factional leaders claimed control of the republican state nominating con vention to be held in Pierre Dec ember 1, returns complied from all of South Dakota's counties except three indicate that both Senator Norbeck and Governor Carl Gunder son would be renominated if propos ed men followed their instructions. Senator Norbeck will have pro- nosal men commanding 50.270 votes in the state meeting, Governor Gunderson will control 44.86S votes. Uninstructed delegations who have a voting power of 26,344 votes have desisnated "leanings" to a sufficient deree to sive each the 53,763 votes necessary ior nomination BOX SOCIALS Thursday, November 26th There will be a box social and a program at School District No. 38 on Thursday evening, November 26th, 1925.

WW FIRST LADY KEPT GOING New York, Nov. 19. Mrs. Cool idge passed a busy afternoon on her arrival in New York city today with President Coolidge. The shopping tour, which it was expected she would make, was crowded off the program by a visit to the Metropo litan museum of art, and a tea at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Mor row. Tonight, while her husband was attending the banquet of the New York state chamber of commerce, Mrs. Coolidge was guest of honor at a private dinner at which Mrs. Fred Ecker, wife of the president of the chamber of commerce, was hostess. Mrs. Coolidge arranged, however to hear the president's adress aftar the dinner from a box in the grand tier of the Wal dorf Astoria ball room. Farm Problem is National, Says Sec'y Jardine Duty of Land Grant Schools is Educate Urban Communities on Agriculture. to Chicago. Nov. 19. The problems of agriculture, particularly its eco nomic and sociological problems, will never be solved by farmers and agri cultural workers alone, declared Sec retary of Agriculture Jardine here Wednesday night in addressing the Association of Land Grant Colleges So comnlex and inter-related are the conditions of our civilization to day that no one group could perform a service in interpreting agriculture to the people of urban communities. who do not know farming or farm ers. "In a more specific sense than ever before, our problems are national problems and they will be solved through our taking into consideration not only all parts of the country and all institutions, but all groups in the population," the speaker assert ed. Dr. Jardine said the passage of the Purnell act providing enlarged federal support for agricultural ex periment stations is one of the most notable instances in history of the granting of public funds for the ad vancement of knowledge through re search. "Extension workers are doing a great deal in reaching not only indi vidual farmers, but organizations of farmers. The individualism and the isolation which in the past have kept farmers from coming closer together are disappearing under the Influence of contemporary conditions. In orga nization after organization farmers are working together effectively and the information given to them by ex tension workers has been both a pow erful stimulus and a steadying force in their work. "The development of co-operative marketing enterprises furnishes a growing group of new farm organi zations to which valuable informa tion can be furnished. Because of their large and increasing member ship, information utilized by them will affect the agriculture of the country directly and substantially Moreover, co-operation is not simply a marketing matter but a way of life. It is a group expression of our agricultural population. To Nullify the Higher Inherit ance Tax Rates House Ways and Means Committee Moves to Make - Lower Levy of 1921 Law Apply for Present. Washington, Nov. 18. The house ways and means committee moved today to nullify the increased inher itance tax rates provided by the 1924 revenue law. by making the lower rates of the 1921 law apply on all estate settlements from the time the 1924 rates became effective until the modified rates proposed in the new revenue bill it is writing become law. Under this plan, the government would return to taxpayers the dif ference between the higher 1924 rates and the 1921 levies on settle ments already made under the last act. In addition, the 20 per cent credit allowed in the 1924 inheri tance tax section for payments made n state inheritance taxes would be retained. With the latter provision retain ed Chairman Green estimated that lower taxes actually would be paid on estates of those who have died since the 1924 act became a law, June 2, 1924, than under either the 1921 act or the proposed new act in which the committee has cut the max imum rate from 40 to 20 per cent and increased the state tax allowance to 80 per cent. How much the govern ment will have to refund under the provision agreed to today is problem atical, some committee members es timating the amount at several mil lion dollars. The American sport fan is loyal and generous to his favorites, but he Is not always consistent. He likes to see Red Grange win as an amateur, but he wants him to go out in the world and try to make a living at something else which he can't do nearly so well as he can play football.

Urge Wilbur Order Dirigible Probe Stopped Counsel for Mrs. Lansdowne Implies Foley Matter White- j washed. Washington, D. C, Nov. 19. Aa counsel for Mrs. Margaret Ross Lans- !downe. Joseph E. Davis asked Secre tary Wilbur, in a letter sent to the I navy secretary tonight, to discharge the Shenandoah court or inquiry be cause of the manner in which it con ducted the inquiry into charges brought against its former judge ad vocate. Captain Paul Foley, by Mrs. Lansdowne. Mr. Davis added that if the naval secretary "sees fit to approve the conduct of the Shenandoah court of inquiry, in the manner in which it has handled the controversy between Captain Paul Foley and Mrs. Lans downe," then, as counsel for Mrs. Lansdowne, he requested that the secretary direct and order the Shen anudoah court to do these two things: "Furnish to counsel for Mrs. Lansdowne. a stenographic copy of the testimony of all witnesses heard before it on the question of any controversy of fact as between her and Captain Foley. "Reconvene and recall witnesses whose appearance is requested by counsel for Mrs. Lansdowne and that counsel for Mrs. Lansdowne be per mitted to cross examine such wit nesses for the purpose of eliciting all the facts." , "Permit me to say in conclusion," Mr. Davis wrote, "that the facts which have not been disclosed upon cross examination under oath which . are germane and pertinent on the question of what influence was brought to bear on Mrs. Lansdowne either not to testify at all or to mod- j ify and change her statement." "A hostile Judge advocate was the . judge of the propriety of his own questions," Mr. Davis contended, adding that Mrs. Lansdowne was denied the right, granted to Captain Foley as a defendant, to have adverse witnesses cross examin ed by her attorney. I Statements made by Mrs. Lans-j downe were assailed twice today be- i for the tribunal, first by Captain Foley, and again by Lieutenant Com mander C. E. Rosendahl. senior sur vivine officer of the wrecked ship. I Captain Foley entered emphatic denial that he had sought to sway Mrs. Lansdowne's testimony before the court while Commander Rosen dahl declared than any "inference" or "insinuation" that Lieutenant Commander Lansodwne took the Shenandoah out. believing weather conditions would jeopardize her safe ty and that of the 42 men aboard, "approaches the height of absurdity and slanders the dead." W. C. T. U. MEETING ENDS IN DETROIT Detroit, Mich., Nov. 19. The 51st annual convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union closed Wednesday night after a declaration of principles looking toward a cam pjaign of enforcement and observance of the prohibition laws. Miss Cora Frances Stoddard of Bos ton, head of the department of scien tific temperance instructions and in vestigation, said that a questionaire sent to high school principals and teachers in Massachusetts, revealed their opinion that drinking in viola tion of the prohibition law was on teh wane. A message was received from Presi dent Calvin Coolidge extending to the convention "my sincere thanks for the message of encouragement and support" and appreciation for "the expression of approval and co-opera tion." The 1926 convention will be held in Los Angeles. ADRIFT IN A SMALL BOAT New York, Nov. 19. Three men who had drifted five days without food in a small boat were picked up at sea today by the Collier Isaac T. Mann, bound from Portland. Me.. to Norfolk, Va.

News Writer Says Officials Tried' to Control Reports of Dirigible Disaster. Washington, D. C, Nov. 18. Statements that the airplane car rier will be the battleship of the future, able to destrop a capital ship at will, and testimony that reduc tion of the Shenandoah's gas valves from 18 to 8 reduced the safety of that craft 100 per cent, were heard today by the Mitchell court martial. Rear Admiral William S. Sims, re tired, gave the court his ideas re garding future naval construction, and Anton Heinen, German Zeppe lin expert, criticized naval authori ties for reducing the number of valves to conserve helium gas. Six other witnesses were crowded into the day's proceedings and contrib uted varying statements in support of the published charges against army and navy control of aviation which brought about Colonel William Mitchell's trial. Four of the witnesses, Major Frank Kennedy of McCook field, Ohio; Captain Charles Clark, Langley field, Virginia; Lieutenant Colonel John A. Pagelow, Scott field, Illinois, and Lieutenant A. C. Anderson of Kelly field, Texas, testified on structural and operation phases of lighter-than-air craft. Ernest Sheehan, Cambrige, O., newspaper man, said attempts had been made to control press reports from the scene of the Shenandoah disaster, while Major W. M. Blair, signal corps meteorological expert, told the court that limitation of funds, personnel and equipment pre- vented his corps from giving army fliers better and more extensive weather information. . Admiral Sims reiterated his charge ; that "ignorant" and "unfit" officers were in 'control of the navy." When Representative Frank R.

While the main part of the structure is complete, there are numerous things yet to do to finish up the work. In fact, when the road to and from the bridge on either side are placed in proper shape and the banisters plac ed along the sides, the people will have one of the finest bridges in the state of Nebraska, or anyother state for that matter. And those who can concieve the idea of a new concrete bridge deserve the praise of not only the wayfarers but the people in general, the enter prise displayed by the builders of this great bridge is to be greatly commended as the great gathering yesterday and the great interest in the solid beautiful and durable struc ture did.
