The negro, whose suit was filed in behalf of ail members of his race by the city, will have to be adver tised for the purpose of permitting the property owners to express them selves as they wish in regard to the matter. These streets are largely hill streets where the city has had to spend from $200 up each year in the removal of mud that was washed down from the hills and the crea tion of the paving will prove a real saving to the city at large and add to the value and improvement of' the property along the streets. The council voted to have the districts created and the program for the year in paving will add sev eral additional blocks to the perman ent roadways of the city. The city council received a com munication from the boad of edu Cozard, Neb., July 23. The Rural Letter Carriers association of Ne- j braska is holding its twenty-sixth annual convention here, to continue through Tuesday. A total of 148 de legates had registered early today. S. W. Schooley, resident of Cozard for 52 years and one of its early post masters, substituted on the program for Dr. A. T. Gatewood of McCook the first postmaster here. He told of having taken the postoffice with him to a cornfield, making patronr interrupt his farm duties to get their letters. He also told of the change of name of Cozard to Gould, honoring the financial interests then controlling the Union Pacific, and the change tc Cozard again in the Cleveland admin istration. George S. Schwab of Sutton, in a response to thq welcome, outlined the purposes of the association. He said that shorter hours had come with displacement of horses, but that mail bags are heavier beacuse of increasing commercial mail. Nebraska City and Wahoo are in viting the 1929 convention. Counties with full representation to carriers include Boone, York, Antepole, Pierce and Dawson. State Fair Banners to Boost State by unanimous vote. The finance committee then pre sented the ordinance No. 669 fixing the levy for the year 1928-29 and which was unanimously adopted and the ordinance passed. The levy is somewhat below the estimate made by the council at the last meeting. In the consideration of the peti tion for paving on Marble and Twelfth streets, a supplemental peti tion was presented that the concrete paving be not more than $140 a lot to the lot owners. This brought on considerable discussion, as to the city out that the greatest wage paying in guaranteeing the cost and the engi-idustry in the United States is the neer representing the Bruce Engi-j railway repair industry the repair neering Co., the city engineers, stat-jof cars and locomotives by the rail ed that the cost last year had been i roads that own tbem.

Preliminary organization of the league now is being conducted here, but the working headquarters is slated to be established in the middle west by September 1. "Because there is no partisanship in patriotism," Hansbrough Raid in a statement, "I consider It my duty to support the one candidate who re gards the fanners of this country as men and not as peasants, for eight years the farmers have been faithful to the party which has been faith ful to the party which has been faithless to them. "Comnare the Candidates." "The duty of the farmer, regard less of his party affiliaton, may be determined by comparing the attitude of the two candidates toward agri culture. Mr. Hoover says in regard to this pressing matter that "if we can determine what are the long views over a decade, then current practice can be better directed to ward those ends. Consideration oC the long view is vital to any pro gram." "However, Governor Smith, the ex perienced executive, proposes, should he be elected, to immediately call a conference consisting of farm lead ers and expert economists, with a view to arriving at a solution of the farm problems, the findings to be laid before congress early in Decem ber. Quite a different thing from the 'long views over a decade' by the republican candidate. Governor Smith means forthright action, not procrastination. "It is therefore up to the farmers themselves to do their part in No vember if they prefer intelligent ex pedition at comprehending hands." OMAHA SCOUTS MAKING TOUR Omaha, July 23.
