A piece of wood containing a nail flew when the piece was broken and striking Mr. Wtndt cutting a gash in the ball of his eye.

On last week the report arrived in Murdock that there was some loose game in the northwest, which needed looking after, and that as winter was coming on. it had better be looked after, and that if there is any of the people of M.urdock are itnerested in the game they had better look after it at once. When this came to the ears of H. W. Tool, W. O. Schewe and Wm. Klyser. they immediately loaded their guns and ammunition and started for the hunting grounds where they will spend a week or s trying to relieve the situation. We will hear waht the results are when they return.

The injured man was hurried to the hospital at Lincoln and where he is now being cared for and all that is possible is being done to re lieve his condition which, however, is still very serious. FACING DRASTIC ACTION Minneajpolis, Sept. 2S. Twelve academic fraternities, that have fail ed to raise their scolastic averages since being placed on probation a years ago, face drastic action. Of twenty-three placed on probation last year by Loftus D. CofTman, president of the university, fourteen remain be low a "C" average, it was announced. Two have made gains in the aggre gate grades, while twelve continue with no better rating than before. When probation was ordered, President Coffman declared that he would seek revocation of charters if improvement" was not shown. Dean E. E. Nicholson, of student affairs, did not indicate today what action would be taken, declaring we ex pect to deal individually with each situation as the need requires." The general average of all frater nities is reported the highest since 1914-15. Twenty-one sororities as well as all professional fraternities have maintained an average above "C." MAKING HAY WHEN SUN DOESN'T SHINE IS GOAL Princeton, N. J. Farmers can make hay while the sun isn't shin ing, if the invention of Arthur Mason of Chicago, which had its first demonstration at the Walker Gordon Dairies near here, becomes popular. The Mason invention takes alfalfa green from the field, desires it, and grinds it to meal, all within 30 min utes. A strong air furance forces gases at a temperature of 250 de grees over the grass as it moves through a 150-foot oven cn an end less belt. Smoked hay, supporters of the new process, assert, is more pal atable. The new process not only permits farmers to gather their winter alfalfa in rainy weather, but is claimed to furnish a product one-third more nutritious than that which is sun dried. Promises are made that It will revolutionize farming by sub stituting alfalfa for growing corn. U. S. AND CANADA PLAN TO STOP EUM-BUNNING Toronto, Ont., Sept. 28.

Rail Employes of Long Service inJReunion Q. Organization of Old Time Workers for Railroad to Meet in Iowa Town Next Monday. A large number of Burlington em ployes, officers and others, will attend the meeting of th Burlington veterans at Burlington, la., October 4. Lincoln and Havelock will send perhaps the largest delegations fom the lines west, but Plattsmouth, Alliance, Ster ling, McCook and Wymore and other Burlington terminals west of the river will be represented at this gathering of men who have been in the service for twenty-five and more years. More than 100,000 years of con tinuous service for the Burlington railroad will be represented by 3,500 employes of the system who have per formed this vast joint service, when they meet for the annual gathering of the Burlington Veterans' association. Continuous service of at least twenty five years is essential to membership in the association, but the records of many of the employes cover very much more than a quarter of a cen tury. Many of the men have seen the railroad develop from a small, strug gling property into one of the great transportation systems of the contin ent, and they are proud of the parts they have played in bringing "the system up to its present importance and efficiency. P. S. Eustis. passen ger traffic manager, and himself a veteran in the service, will address the association. Mr. Eustis will tell of the general development during the last half century, pointing out that in 1876 the Burlington operated in only three states over 1,343 milea of track, while today it traverses eleven states and has 9,404 miles of track . The eleven states served by the Burlington pro duce 50 per cent of the food in the nation cattle, hogs, sheep, corn, oats, wheat, etc. Fifty years ago the Burlington had 305 locomotives, while today, it has 1,950 modern engines in active op eration. Within the span of the half century the Burlington's gross earn ings have risen from $12,000,000 to $163,000,000 annually, and the tons nf freight handled have increased twenty times. The Burlington's employes number 50,000 and there are 1,200 stations on the system. U. S. to Withdraw Its Application for World Court Seat Issne New ?Dead," Officials Print After Trick Resolution of League Nullifies Reservations. Washington, Sept. 30. The admin istration Wednesday decided definite ly to withdraw application for mem bership in the world court, it was learned in high official quarters. Just what form the withdrawal will take and whether at some later date this country again may seek ad mission, are yet to be determined, it was stated. It was emphasized, however, that the administration considers the world court "dead" so far as this country is concerned. Until the State department receives the official text of the action of the committee of the league of nations which passed upon and nullified the American reservations, it was said no formal statement will be made. Apparently the committee meeting in Geneva has adjourned after adopt ing what officials consider a "trick" resolution. While superficially adopt ing the American reservations the member nations adopted another that would permit them to withdraw their approval at any time. The chief obstacle was the fifth American reservation, which the sen ate adopted as a protective measure. It provided that the league of nations, of which the world court is a branch, could not ask the court for an advis ory opinion in a matter in which the United States has or claims to have an interest. As the situation now stands the American application for membership still is before the international body meeting at Geneva, which has ad journed for several months while their individual governments act on the- American reservations. President Coolidge now is debating whether formally to withdraw his application and issue a statement on the subject, or whether to let it "die," it was stated. He was said to feel, however, that to all intents and purposes the United States definitely is out of it. Politically, it was expected to part ly remove a major political issue from the fall campaigns. G. 0. P. IMPROVED FARMER CAPPER Chaciago, Sept 29. The farmer was declared Tuesday by Senator Arthor Capper, republican, Kansas, to be better off than at any time since the world war and his partial revival from the slump of post war years was attributed by Capper to me esorts oi ue jepuoucao pany iui his behalf. Arc and Spark Give Way to Vacuum Tube Coast Guard Craft to Use Tube Transmitters as Standard Now. By Dec. 1, 1926, the use of arc and 6park transmitting equipment will be obsolete in bo far as it pertains to service on vessels of the United States Coast Guard, in other words, this government bureau is scrapping arc and spark transmitters complete ly, and it will be the first branch of the government service to adopt electron tubes exclusively as a means of radiating electric energy- The Navy Department, however, is dis carding the arc and spark transmit ters as rapidly as funds will permit of the purchase of vacuum-tube transmitting sets. The Coast Guard, in awarding a contract recently to the General Electric company for the manufac ture of 40 200-watt tube transmit ters, has taken steps to equip its full complement of vessels with at least two transmitting sets. The 40 200-watt transmitting sets are to ye installed on the second-class cutters. The 20 first-class cuters are already equipped with radio transmitting sets with a power rating of 500 watts. The most powerful radio transmit ting in use by the Coast Guard is in stalled on the four largest vessels, of the type of the Tampa and Modic, ice-patrol cutters. Each transmitter on the four vessels of this type has a power rating of 2000 watts. In this connection, it is recalled that the Coast Guard is the first organization to employ the so-called "XA" high frequency set for handling regular traffic over such a considerable dis tance as intervenes between the Grand Banks, off Newfoundland, and Washington, D. C: direct eommuni cation being effected with regularity on a wavelength of 35 meters. All told, 375 patrol boats and oth er vesels of the Coast Guard are equipped with transmitters with a power rating of 50 watts. Or, putting it dicerently, every floating unit of this government service carries on board one of these low-powered ra dio sending sets. These transmitting units are for intercommunication be tween vessels of the Coast Guard and for communication with shore sta tions withing short ranges, and even they could be used as auxiliary sets in case the more powerful transmit ting outlts are impaired of tempor arily out of commission.

K There 50-watt transmitters, In stalled on 375 "Vessels, imply the necessity of installing receiving units and this implication has been met by the Coast Guard in equipping the patrol boats or so-called rum chasers with super-heterodyne radio receiving sets, these having eight vacuum tubes. This government bu reau finds this type of receiver satis factory for voice communication but the results in employing it for radio telegraph purposes are not altogether pleasing. In addition to complete ra dion sending and receiving stations on approximately 40 vessels, the Coast Guard is now equipping 100 of its patrol boats or rum chasers with radio direction-finders. As the term implies, the direction-finders wore de signed to enable a patrol boat, en shrouded in fog or other obscure conditions, to determine its own posi tion and locate the positions of other units of the rum-chasing fleet. DEMOCRATS FOR DRY LAW Concord, N. H., Sept. 2D. The democrats of New Hampshire failed to follow the lead of the party con ventions in New York and Massa chusetts, which, during the past two days, have adopted platforms calling for modification of the prohibition laws. The New Hampshire conven tion went on favor of enforcement of all laws, "including the eighteenth amendment," and held the rrpubli can party, now in full control of enforcement, responisble for failure to enforce the latter. The platform also urged relief for farmers, relief from numberous tax ation, retention of the primary law with stricter limitation of candi date's expenses a forty-eight hour law for women and busines, honesty in government, abolition of the poll tax for women and non-abandonment of railroad lines. Former Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma declared in his keynote address that the farmers of the west were displeased with the adminis tration, which he charged, had pro mised everything and given nothing. FLORIDA FUND NOW $3,000,000 Washington, Oct. 1. The Red Cross Florida disaster relief fund crosses $3,000,000 Thursday. In announcing the figure. Red Cross headquarters made public a re port from James L. Fieser, vice chair man, who is in Florida, saying the number of families in desperate need Jias risen to more than 18,000. Donations received today include a '$500 personal check from Ambassador vIPtsudaira of Japan and $850 from contributors at Murphysboro. 111., which was destroyed by a tornado in March, 1925. AT THE nti Stationery ia-di8iflonerv ran WHERE THE PRICES ARE Germany and France Showing a New Spirit Schurmann Says Co-Operation Bringing Both Nations to Mutual Harmony. is Washington, Sept. 29. Recogni tion by Germany and France that constant discord Is "not worth while" is leading them to mutual harmony, Jacob Gould Schurman. ambassador to Berlin, said today after a confer ence with President Coolidge. The ambassador asserted the most amazing thing he has noted is the "change in the psychological atmos phere between Germany and France," as the two governments, he said, are committed to friendly understanding and economic co-operation. Large commercial interests are leading thf way, he added, through noncompeti tive arrangements similar to that re cently effected between Franch and German steel manufacturers. The only major problem now con fronting Germany, in the opinion of the ambassador, is in the unemploy ment situation. About a million and a half persons, largely former sol diers and employes of war supply (factories, are now being sustained by jthe government. SINCLAIR STOCK DOWN j New York, Sept. 29. Common stock of the Sinclair consolidated oil i corporation was hammered down to ja new low level for the year at f 18.50 a share on the New York stock ex 1 change today on selling inspired by ithe decision of the United States cir !cuit . court of appeals at St. Louis, re- vorcirnr tho Hppicinn nf thf lrtwr rmirt ! which had upheld the lease on the Teapot Dome oil reserves. The stock rallied to 19 U at the close, as against a high of 27 earlier in the year. The Sinclair corporation, in a statement tonight declared the circuit court decibion can have little effect upon that company, stating that the Sinclair company is not a principal in the case, its interest being due merely to the ownership of about 25 per cent of the stock of the Mammoth Oil company, which controls the lease. "The Sinclair company is now en joying record breaking earnings. Latest available information indi cates that the amount available for common stock so far this year has been at the rate of more than 20 per cent on the present market price of the shares." iargins!
