At the store of White and Bucknell we noticed a very active air, and when we asked them how business was they confessed it was much bet ter and that trade was very satisfac tory. Their special sale which they put on a short time since, was well patronized and they are well satis fied. Uncle Sam. that is Uncle Sam Ar- ron. was a visitor in Lincoln on last' Wednesday, and the work of carry- ing the mail devolved upon his son. Ralph Arron.

Cars Collide in Omaha Last Sunday S. S. Peterson was a visitor in Omaha and after he had gotten there, thought he would re turn home, as the weather was not the best. He therefore started out on the return triD and just as he was getting out of Omaha, another car coming from the side, collided with the car he was driving with the re sult that both cars were considerably damage. Mr. Peterson sustained the greatest damage to his car, but as he carried insurance he will be remun erated for the loss sustained. Mrs. Reese Very Sick Mrs. Arthur Reese, who has been i'opv nnrtrlv fnr n lnno Hmp nnrl who ag at tne nospitai for treatment a number of times, has been critically ill during the past week, and only slight hopes are entertained for her recovery. Every care tnai loving hands could bring to her side and to minister to her wants has been given, but she continues very low. Receives a Severe Wound On Monday morning of last week, while two of the boys of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Palmquist were scuffling over a loaded .22 caliber rifle, each wishing to obtain the firearm, when the moth er asked that they give her the rifle, and reaching for it, it was discharg ed, the ball from the gun entering the hip of Mrs. Palmquist and lodging in the hip bone. She was hastened to the St. Elizabeth hospital, where the best medical and surgical attention could be had, and when an Xray had been taken and the location of the bullet was ascertained, it was thought best to take no steps for its removal. as there would be a great probability of rendering the hip joint useless and immovable. We are glad to report that the patient is getting along as well as could possibly be expected, considering the serious nature of the wound received. Save trouble of hatching.

Chickens Too Warm Last Tuesday at the home of Leo Peters the brooder which was in use which there were about two hundred, caught afire in the upper part of the building and gained considerable headway before it was discovered.

The fed- cral radio commission gave notice Thursday that hereafter the electrical frequency of power used in broadcast- jug oiauuiis. ah auuiicauis ior 11- cense to broadcast or to use radio tele graphy were notified to govern them selves accordingly. Hereafter allocations of space for broadcasting will be made on the kilocycle scale, by which 640 kilo cycles -will be considered the equiva lent of 55.2 meters in wave length, the scaler ising in frequency until at 1,500 kilocycles which is equivalent to. a 199.9 meter wave length, the broadcasting band regularly used, la exhausted.. Further, -the allocations will be spaced apart by even units of 10, running 540, 550, 560. and so forth up to the top limit. The commission announced, that no application will be favorably received which provides for use of a kilocycle phase interme diate td any bf the 10 unit divisions, since It has fceeft demonstrated that broadcasting at an intermediate phase will interfere with operations of both greater and lower frequency. ros Sale " Seasoned oak posts, sawed ends.

For the first : time in the history of western rail roads, one of the companies and their maintenance of way employes will set tle a wage dispute by arbitration un der an agreement signed here today by the Chicago & Northwestern rail road and 15,000 employes belonging to the maintenance of way brother hood. Tne agreement to arbitrate wage disputes in which the maintenace of way men seek a 5 cent an hour in crease was brought about by former Governor E. P. Morrow of Kentucky and T. E. Bickers, representative of the United States board of mediation, after conferences with the two forces over a period of several weeks. The agreement to arbitrate, inci dentally, is the fourth of similar agreements which Mr. Morrow and Mr. Bickers have obtained from west ern railroads and their employes in wage disputes during the last four months, but is the first agreement in thew est ever reached by maintenance of way men and the railroads. ihe dispute will be settled by a board of arbitration which will meet In Chicago immediately after the con ductors and trainmen wage contro versy has been settled, also by arbi tration. The increase Fought by the North western maintenance or way men would amount to an annual increase of two and one-half millions. The agreement to arbitrate its dis pute followed the agreement reached yesterday by the Northwestern rail road and its clerks. Urged to Curtail on Certain Crops Farmers Warned by Agricultural De parment Not to Plant Too Heav ily Lest Market Be Glutted. Washington, March 22. Farmer? were warned today by the depart ment of agriculture that their inten tions to plant thi3 year large area3 of certain crops., as Indicated by the March report, are not warranted by the general agricultural outlook. "The slightly larger acreage of the principal crops," said the depart ment's statement, "is not desirable in view of the general agricultural outlook, but some of the shifts in acreage contemplated may be bene ficial. "Farmers' plans to plant as much corn as last year would result in a continuation of the present level of corn prices. The intended reduction of baout 2 per cent in acreage in the corn belt would still produce a a larger crop than in 1926 if aver age yields are obtained. "Inter ded increases of acreage of oats and barley would produce larg er crops of these era ins. and this if not considered desirable, except where these grains &rs needed for feed to be used on the farms where produced. These slight changes in the acreage of tame hay and grain sorghums could not materially change the present market situation. "The slight increase in hard red spring wheat acreage appears desir able in view of the probable increase in harvested acreage in winter wheat. In areas not well adapted to durum wheat farmers should hesitate to re place hard spring wheat with dur ums, tho it .may pay to substitute some durum for cash oats or barley. "Flax-growers intend to reduce acreage, but may be more profitable than other spring grains on land that return good yields. The pro posed reduction in rice acreage seem? desirable. "Growers' intentions to Increase potato acreage by 15 per cent with a favorable season and good yields might lead- to a larger crop than can be sold at profitable prices. In the western states the intended Increase: are most ly likely to have serious results if average yields are obtain ed." i NEW METHOD PREVENTS SKIDDING ON PAVEMENT A new method of finishing the sur face of a paved highway with stone screenings has been devised to pre vent skidding.

FRAMED A JOB ON MAGNUS St. Paul, Minn., March 23. Shouts of "It's a lie" from United States Senator Thomas D. Schall late today interrupted the state senatorial in vestigation of charges of corruption in his 1924 campaign. A. N. Jacobs of Minneapolis iden tified with Schall's campaign, testi fied the senator had discussed with him means of opposing the contest of Mr. Schall's election in congress. The witness said Senator Schall sanction ed Jacob's plan to publish in a pub lication owned by the latter, a false account of the arrest of Magnus Johnson, alleging it was the former senator who was contesting Schall's election. This story, Jacobs said, was intend ed to show "how honorable Magnus Johnson was in attacking Senator Schall." When he said the bling sen ator had approved the plan, the lat ter broke the silence he has main tained since the hearing began. "It's a lie; it's a lie," he shouted. "Before Got, it's a lie. Put it into the record it's a lie." His counsel and Mrs. Schall, his constant companion, quieted the sen ator, while the senate chamber re sounded with cheers from the crowd ed floor and galleries. For publishing the story of the Magnus Johnson" arrest for drunk enness, Jacobs testified, he was ar rested, found guilty sentenced to sixty days and served thirty days in the Minneapolis workhouse for crim inal libel.

In the board of education cam paign there is less tendency to hold to party lines than in the regular city ticket and good candidates have been named on both of the tickets. Dr. R. P.

DUCE AGAIN IN TEIUMPH Rome, March 23. The Italian In terpretation of the conference with Jugo-Slavia over Albania is that Pre mier Mussolini has again triumphed in a highly romantic, but intensely dangerous diplomatic duel between Rome and Paris in which the prize was predominance of influence in the Balkans. The dure, it is asserted in quar ters close to officialdom, has, in hand ling the Albanian incident, won his '.ourth Balkan victory in as many months. They are the conclusion of the treaty of Tirania and Albania, confirmation confirming the predom-' inance of Italian influence in that country; the winning over of Bul garia to sympathy with Rome; the shattering of the Francophile little entente by ratification of the treaty recognizing the cessation of Bessar abia to Rumania and by checkmating Jugo-Slavia's alleged effort to reopen the Albanian question.
