WILL REOPEN MARCH 1ST
The sand and gravel industry
which has grown in the past year to
be quite a thriving addition to the
activities of this locality, located at
Oreapolis. just north of this city, will
reopen for the spring and summer
run on or near March 1st.
The 'sand and gravel pits were
closed down the middle of Novem
ber with the setting in of the bad
weather and wintery conditions and
the workmen released for the win
ter months with the exception of the
necessary watchmen for the prop-
';. . . t
ltn the near approach of the
spring, the pits will be reopened and
a very busy season for 1929 is an
ticipated as the pits here supply a
great deal of material used in the
road construction work in Nebraska
and Iowa, and while last summer
was the first season the pits were
open they did a large volume of busi
ness. MIDDLE OF THE ROAD POPULAR
From Wednesday a Dally
Those who make the ascent of high
school hill in the pioneer and primi
tive foot method have found that
the safest and surest way of reach
ing the top or bottom of the hill
safely is to take the street for walk
ing, as the sidewalks are very heav
ily coated with ice and packed snow
that makes it a very dangerous means
of travel and only the school young
ster!? seeking a thrill will attempt the
descent of the hill via the sidewalk
route.

Legion Initiation
Will Bring Many
from Over County
Greenwood Legion Bunch Here for
Floor Work and Visitors From
All Posts to Come.
From "Wednesday's Dally
At the Legion community building
in this city on Thursday evening will
be held one of the largest gatherings
of former service men that has been
featured in this city since the first
district convention in 1926 when
representatives from all posts in the
county will be in attendance.
The occasion will be the initiation
of a large group of candidates by
the Hugh J. Kearns post of this city
and in which the visitors will join
in making a real event and which
to the candidates will seem like the
days before the armistice or even
worse.
The ritualistic work of the even
ing will be staged by the local post
officers and will be followed by the
general attack on the candidates that
will be in charge of the Greenwood
post under the direction of Col. Phil
Li. Hall and George Bucknell. The
Greenwood wrecking crew will bring
their own physician. Dr. H. W. Mc-
Fadden and it is hoped to have him
re-enforced by Dr. G. H. Gilmore of
Murray and Dr. R. P. Westover of
this city, as well as Dr. G. L. Taylor,
veternarian of Murray to assist.
Preceding the initiation the mem
bers of the posts and the candidates
expect to stage a parade through the
business section to give the candi
dates a chance to get limbered up for
the ordeal that will follow.
The Greenwood post will be here
100 per cent, they have assured the
local committees and large delega
tions from Louisville and Nehawka
are also expected to join in the im
pressive work as well as the fun and
frolic that will be a part of the
evening show.
The Legion is an order where ser
vice is the only qualification for
membership and in the gatherings
of the doughboy, gobs and marines
there are no distinction of rank, and
judges, bankers, farmers, laborers and
all are the boys who were in service
and race, creed and color make no
difference in the great common tie
. 5 x.
that is as binding today as in the
warlike days when the service men
were busy in the efforts to win the
war.
The members of the posts that par
ticipate will be the 1929 members
and from whom the class of candi
dates are to be selected.
Former Kaiser
Given Honor by
the Royalists
Forthcoming Birthday Anniversary
of Deposed German Ruler
Is Celebrated.
Berlin, Jan. 22. Two thousand
royalists tonight celebrated the
forthcoming seventieth birthday of
Former Kaiser Wilhelm. At a gath
ering in the "Kriegrevereinshaus"
under the auspices of the "upright"
organization, they cheered Prince
Eitel Freidrich, second son of the
former kaiser, and hailed Prince
Wilhelm, eldest son of former crown
prince, as "heir to the imperial
crown."
The assembly, adorned by many
ancient uniforms, and with many
women in the dresses of nurses with
red cross medals, made an unusual
picture. In the gallery children dis
played a large banner reading
"Youth Faithful to the Kaiser." A
military band played marches and
after almost every speech led the
audience in singing some song pledg
ing fidelity to Wilhelm or castigat
ing the present republican "shame"
of Germany.
The former crown prince did not
appear. He was not referred to in
the speeches and it was his son who
was hailed as the lawful ruler of the
country. Welcomed by Lieutenant
General Waechiter, the chairman, the
young prince Wilhelm who sat in
the front row, had to arise and bow
frequently. The audience greeted with cheers
the chairman's declaration that no
people was ever more ungrateful to
its ruler than the Germans toward
their kaiser and a few minutes later
when he began to read a message
from the exile at Doom, the entire
audience arose and stood reverently.
Tears were in many eyes as General
Waechter said:
"May the spirit of the 'uprights
so permeate the whole German peo
ple that the way to freedom and im
perial glory may be clear." State

WANT YOUNG AS PRESIDENT
Paris, Jan. 22. Arrival here to
day of the Japanese members of the
new committee on reparations revived
speculation concerning organization
of the commission. There was gen

ANOTHER SMALL FIRE
This morning shortly after 8
o'clock the fire department was call -
ed to the residence on North 7th
street occupied by the Joseph Boyd
family where sparks from the chim
ney caused a small fire to start on
the roof of the residence but which
was extinguished with very little
damage being done to the building
altho the fire caused a great deal of
excitement in the family and neigh
borhood. The fact that the wind was
not blowing allowed the blaze to be
checked at once. This is the third
fire in-as many days and the extreme
cold weather has kept the fire de
partment on the alert for calls that

Budget is
Explained by
Gov, Weaver
Recommends Million Dollar Reduc
tion ; Penal and Charity Needs
Are Emphasized.
Lincoln, Jan. 22. The financial
needs of the state government and
its institutions were outlined to the
state legislature Tuesday by Gover
nor Arthur J. Weaver, in his sup
plementary budget message. He re
commended an expenditure of $31,
200,839, a reduction of 11,716,442
from the 1927-29 budget.
He reviewed in detail existing fi
nancial conditions and requisites of
many of the state departments and
subdivisions. He placed special em
phasis on the needs of the 17 state
penal and charitable institutions.
The governor limited the amount
for improvements at the University
of Nebraska to 1SO,000. but he in
creased the maintenance fund 10 per
tent, recommending $3,987,500 and
which is $103,500 more than was re
quested by the regents and $S7,500
more than was appropriated two
years ago.
Need High Standards.
"We had better have a good uni
versity with limited buildings than
a large physical plant with decreas
ed educational standards." Governor
Weaver said in explaining his re
commendations for the school.
I "The tax lew for 1929. based on
j this budget, will be slightly higher
than the levy of 1928," Governor
Weaver said. "Based also on this
budget, the levy of 1930 will be de
creased in comparison with the levy
of 1929 because the emergency and
deficiency appropriations will be pro
vided for by the levy of 1929.
Of the $i3.999.912 from property
taxes, $12.C24,o35 goes to general
governmental purposes, while $1-
375,376 is for completing the Capi
tol.
$4,176,000 for University
For the University of Nebraska,
$180,000 is recommended for per
manent improvements. The regents
asked for $1,250,000. Former Gov
ernor McMullen recommended $600,
.

Propriated two years ago
r or lour normal miidim.s, ji.i,vuv
for each school, or a total of $180.-
000 is recommended for improve
ments as against $475,000 requested.
Code Changes.
The code changes recommended by
the governor are:
Finance Department Merged
with tax commissioner's office.
elfare Department Placed un
der labor secretary.
Motor Vehicle Registration
Transferred from public works de
partment to secretary of state.
Gasoline Tar Bureau Abolished
and placed under state treasurer.

and forestry board.
Blue Sky Bureau Abolished; tem
porarily placed under insurance com
missioner; recommended by governor
to be turned over to attorney gen
eral. Fire Prevention State fire mar
shal and his activities placed under
state sheriff.
"For the biennium 1927-29. a to
tal of $1,756,545 was appropriated
for salaries and wages out of the
property tax." Governor Weaver as
serted. "For the coming biennium
I have recommended for salaries and
wages $1,695,485 out of the prop
erty tax. making a saving in this
item.of $61,060."
"For law enforcement an addi
tional $5,000 has been added for the
administration of the state sheriff's
office, and $10,000 to the attorney
general's office, to provide for either
law enforcement or litigation."
School Budget Cut.
Budget recommendations for the
commissioner of public lands and
buildings was $33,930, plus $135,000
for maintenance of the capitol.
Appropriation recommendations
for the executive departments fol
low: Governor. $38,380; secretary of
state, $42,480; state auditor. $61,
280; state treasurer. $37,645; sup
erintendent of public instruction,
$418,080.
The budget of the state superin
tendent was decreased by Governor
Weaver and the recommendation is
less than the appropriation two years
ago. Supt. Charles W. Taylor asked
$544,680.
For a new boys and girls club
building at the state fair grounds.
the governor recommended $75,000
for construction of the first unit. He
also recommended $10,000 for a st3t
publicity agency under the state
board of agrirulture.
Governor Weaver approved the
joint heating, lighting and power
plant for the capitol and university
as recommended by Governor Adam
McMullen.
For revision and compilation of
the Nebraska statutes, the governor
recommended an appropriation of
$60,000.
Student Increase.
In commenting on the University
of Nebraska, the governor said:
"A careful survey of the situation
with reference to the university leads
to the inevitable conclusion that ap
propriations for maintenance, in or
der to maintain adequate standards,
are necessary at this time. Appro
priations for this purpose have not
kept pace with the increasing enroll
ment, particularly in the years fol
lowing financial depression. As an
example, on Nov. 1 , 1921, the total
number of gular students in ac
tual and continual attendance was 4,
784. On November 1, 1928, it had
grown to 6.4S4.
"The amount appropriated for
salaries and maintenance for the
university for the biennium 1921-23
was $3,418,250, while for the 1927
29 it was only $3,500,000.
"It has been this condition which
has rendered it difficult for the uni
versity to retain many valuable pro
fessors, avoid large classes and in
general to maintain a position com
parable to other universities.
"Approximately state, the increase
in enrollment has been 25 per cent
while increase in appropriation has
been approximately 3 per cent. These
comparative percentages are not
wholly accurate as the maintenance
funds for the reason that the main
tenance available was materially in
creased by the fees received from stu
dents.
"However, I deem it important to
materially increase the budget as to
university maintenance.
"This maintenance represents
money used largely for teaching,
which determines our real education
al standards. We had better have
a good university with limited
buildings than to have a large phy
sical plant with decreased education
al standards. Because I deem the
quality of instruction of primary im
portance. I have increased the main
tenance for all purposes 10 per cent
over the previous biennium.
"In view of this necessary increase
and its allowance, and also in view
of a prior demand at this time of
the capital investment for our 17
penal and charitable institutions. I
have recommended only $160,000 for
lands and buildings for the univer- j
sity. i

'Old Alex' Sued
for Divorce in
Lincoln Court
Great National League Pitcher Who
Has Visited Here Frequently
in Limelighc.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 21. Grover
Cleveland Alexander, 42, veteran
pitcher in National league baseball,
was sued for divorce here today by
Aimee Marie Alexander, his wife of
11 years.
The Alexanders have regarded St.
Paul. Neb., as their winter home but
this year have been living at a Lin
coln hotel.
"Extreme cruelty is charged in the
petition filed in district court. Mrs.
Alexander, contending that her hus
band's earning capacity is large, asks
for "equitable compensation" and at
torney's fees.
Her attorney would not comment
on the action, except to say "we tried
to make it as easy on the boy as we
could."
Mrs. Alexander was Miss Aimee
Arrants of Omaha before her mar
riage. Her father had owned a
large ranch at St. Paul, and she and
Grover had known each other as
children.
Efforts to find Alexander tonight
were futile, and friends said they did
not know whether he was in Lincoln. !
Mrs. Alexander had suffered an at
tack of influenza shortly after Christ- i
mas. and her husband was with her ;
during the illness. The reparation, j
so far as could be learned, was re- ;
