He was the son of Henry and Edith Shrader who were also born in Taz well county. Virginia, whose ances tors were amongst the first colonial settlers to till the soil of old Vir ginia. Mr. Shrader came to Nebraska in 1S71 when a young man and made his home with his brother, George W. Shrader, now deceased. Here he worked on the farm until February, 8. 1S72 when he was united in mar riage with Miss Alice Albin the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Albin one of the well known pioneer , families or uass county. iu mis union ten children were born, three preceding him in death Grover, Mary and Rena. Those surviving him are: Benjamin of Fort Collins, Colo rado: Dora Murray of Parons, Kan sas: William of Chalk Butte. South Dakota: Eva Ford. Alma. Nebraska: Fern Gish of Weeping Water. Ne braska: Lester Shrader, Nehawka, Nebraska and George Shrader, Arri ba. Colorado Amonsr the decendants are thirty-i one grand children and eighteen j great grandchildren. j He is survived by his wife who has ; been his constant companion for 57 j years in happiness and through ad- versitv of the day of his passing. One brother, Z. W. Shrader of Nehawka and one sister, Mrs. Christina Hol brook of Tazwell county, Virginia, are the only members of a family of eleven now living. Mr. Shrader joined the United Brethern church at Otterbein, in his neighborhood, soon after its or ganization 4 3 years ago and has al ways been a constant and devouted attendant. He was also a member of the Modern Woodman of America, be longing to the camp at Nehawka. In 18TS he moved to his farm in Mt. Pleasant precinct which he had purchased the preceding year and where he lived up to the time of his death. j Mr. Shrader has passed from our j sight but the impression he made for good and the lesson he taught by j the noble life he lived, in one com-j munity for over a half century, will ; be carrier down through generations to eternity. No unkind nor unplea sant word was ever uttered of friend, neighbor, or stranger, nor by an act caused a pang of unhappiness. He inherited a talent for many name less acts of kindness and love which drew his neighbors to him and seal ed them in a life long friendship. In passing, the cheerfulness in his last hour was true to the life he had lived. "Therefore dread I not to go O'er the Silent River; Death, thy hastening oar I know, Bear me, thou life giver. Through the waters, to the shore Where mine own have gone before." VERY FINE MEETING From Tuesday's Dally Yesterday afternon the members of the W. C. T.

Governor's Code Bill is Transformed B.odmar.'s Committee Reports Code Consolidation Out as Sort of Civic Service In committee of the whole the senate advanced to third reading H. R. 263. a bill by O'Malley which somewhat amends the present law prohibiting discrimination in pay meut of prices for c ream. Vance said the bill is intended to prevent discrimination of prices paid for cream shipped in by train and cream shipped in by truck. Wellensiek, who spoke for the bill. said it does not limit price but if a company pays four cents more at one of its concentration stations it must pay tne same price at its oiner sta tions. Rodman said the bill contains an amendment to the proviso in the present law whereby it is declared not unfair to pay as much as is paid by any bona fide competitor in the same locality "or its trade territory." He asked what trade territory means. He asked if it means any distance cream is hauled by truck. The bill was advanced without a roll call. Several senators said a Minnesota decision held this law unconstitu tional in that state. Brazda was given full time to pre sent to the senate the good points of his bill. S. F. 107, creating the office of county tax commissioner, making assessors prepare tax lists, issue game licenses and collecting automobile license fees. Some found tault because it takes work away from the county clerk and county treasurer and abolishes elective pre cinct assessors and provides for ap pointment of as many deputy asses sors as are needed. It fixes no salary for the county tax commissioner. It is to become effective in 1930. At the request of Brazda progress was reported and no action taken. Governor's Bill Transformed. S. F. 218. by Griswold and Jeary, a substitute bill for one desired by the governor, originally intended to permit the governor to combine code departments and shift them about and parcel them out to any appoin tive office or among elective state of ficers, was advanced to third reading, after brief discussion. The substitute contains none of the original bill. It merely provides that examin ers, accountants, investigators or inspectors of code departments, if dismissed by the head of a depart ment, may have a right to appeal to the governor for a hearing for reinstatement, and that they cannot be dismissed for political, religious or racial reasons, but only for insubor dination or incompetency. The original bill has been referred to Rodman of Douglas and his com mittee on miscellaneous subjects. land that is what the committee and its authors brought before the senate Tuesday. It. was referred to as a sort of civil service bill, tho it does not apply to clerks or ordinary help in a code department. The mention of civil service was enough for Reed of Hamilton. He opposed it because he said any form of civil service is bunk and intended to hold people in jobs when they ought to be fired. H. R. 414, by Sprick and Bailey, for separation of state taxes from other taxes on tax receipts, was ad vanced after the Omaha delegation attempted vainly to have their home county cut out of it on the ground that it would cost $5,000 or $10,000. The bill excepts for the present year counties that have bought blanks and books. Governor Weaver recommend ...... n i wuiu-.ini "d such hill RO K.?ed told Easton of Douglas, democrat, when the lat- ter asked who wants the bill. "It has been fashionable for demo crats to follow the governor," said Reed, "so I thought I would tell you the governor has it in his message.' Primary Amendments. The ioint conference committee on S. F. 105, Griswold's primary elec tion bill, has agreed upon amend ments to meet objections of Gover nor Weaver and will report Wednes day. The committee proposes to strike out the repeal of the presi dential preference voting at the pri mary and secret voting in the state conventions on election of national delegates and national committee men.

The farm surplus of the world rather than that of the United States is causing dis tress to the farmers of the country G. j. Coulter, president of the state agricultural college of North Dakota, told the house agricultural commit tee today in testimony on the new farm aid bill. Crops produced in other countries where lands and labor were cheap, he said, were driving American products from the markets and leaving Un American fanner with a surplus on his hands. They come into this country large ly in the form of substitutes, ho added, explaining that imported mo- lasses used in the manufacture of industrial alcohol was displacing! American corn, while starch imports) left growers in this country with po-i tatoes to throw away. He urged tar iff revision to preserve the domestic market for American producers and suggested that members of the agri culture committee present the case to the ways and means committee. Favors Fanner Control. Coulter favored creation of a farm board to aid the farmer in balancin production and demand. Stabiliza tion corporations also disagreed with suggestions that they should be con trolled by the government instead of the farmers. Coulter said that in anticipation of the enactment of farm relief leg islation that would be effective, plans already were being made to increase the acreage in production during the canning season. Turning to the problem of deal ing with the Philippine islands farm products. Coulter said congress should say frankly to them whether they might expect their independ ence and proceed accordingly. I "If we intend to give them their ! independence, we should put them I on the same tariff basis as Cuba and I not allow them to go abroad and build up an artificial situation on the expectation that they will even- jtually become a state," he said, j Suggestion by Brinton. j All alliance between American j wheat growers and the Canadian I wheat pools was suggested by J. W. Brinton of Lincoln. Neb., before the I senate agriculture committee as v (means of stabilizing the price of j wheat. J lie said 60 per cent of wheat of the I world is grown in these two coun tries and that if they co-operated they would be able to control the price rather than have the world market do so. Senator Norris. republican. Ne braska, observed that a higher price level maintained by the United States and Canada would result in increased production in India and Russia, but Brinton said that this did not neces sarily follow. Advocating the McNary bill, which is serving as a basis for the farm hearings. Brinton declared that the stabilization corporations could re turn a profit becuuse they would make "enormuos economies" in the handling of wheat. Speaks on Stabilization. Chairman McNary contended that the stabilization corporations would lose money in the end, but he also thought they would institute econ omies and that these savings could work to reduce their losses. C. C. Coffey, dean of the depart ment of agriculture at the University of Minnesota, told the house commit tee that funds should be made avail able to the agricultural colleges to as sist in educating young men and women in co-operative marketing. There is a shortage of men in the field he said, and organizations are bid ding for men capable of instructing others. Lincoln Star. SOUTHERN CROSS HUNTED Sydney. X. S. W. The search for the airplane Southern Cross and the four men it carried which has been carried on since Monday by native runners, launches and airplanes still was unsuccessful and nothing had been learned to relieve the general anxiety of the fliers. Nothing has vet been heard here from the native runners who are searching the snarseley peopled coun try in the vicinity of Wyndham. The silence of the lost men has not been regarded as necessarily a had omen since their radio generator was oper ated by air driven apparatus which would not function if they had land ed. The Southern Cross, veteran of a flight across the Pacific from the United States, was en route to Eng land with two of its original crew and two other men when it disap peared. The missing men are Captain Charles Kingsford-Smith, Pilot Chas. T. Ulm, Navigator Litchfield and ra dio operator McWilliam. , IOWA BANKERS' FARM COMMITTEE TO MEET Boone, la., April 2.

D L D Highway will Have Fifteen Miles Paved Ccchran Announces Plan for Rerout ing Parts of the Highway Completed Next Year. Lincoln. Neb.. April 1. The state highway between Lincoln and Omaha by way of Gretna and Ashland will not he entirely paved until next year. State Engineer Roy Cochran stated in an interview with a World-Herald reporter at Lincoln last night. But the road will be entirely paved next year, Cochran promised definitely. The chief obstacle to immediate paving of the completed stretch of road from Lincoln to the Douglas county line, Cochran said, is a plan to make changes in the present route of the D. L. D. The road is completely paved in Douglas county. The relocation will be made to se cure the best permanent road base and to avoid railroad crossings. Pav ing could not reasonably begin, de clared Cochran, on the new grade until it has settled through a win ter. About 15 miles of the Omaha to Lincoln road will be paved this year from the new increased gasoline tax fund, he said, but most of this pav ing will be on the west end, where the route is settled. It will doubtless be,Tln at the end of the Lancaster county paving just out of Havelock and extend clear to Greenwood. Only 50 miles of paving can he dor.e this year on all state highways, Cochran said, from the additional gasoline tax. The Omaha to Lincoln road, he said, would get nearly a third of all the paving done on all state highways this year. "And it will he completely paved by next year,' he said. "This road has to bear a very heavy traffic and it needs paving as badly as any sec tion of highway in the state." Relocation of the D. L. D. highway will begin near Greenwood and take the road away from the Burlington railway tracks to a point near Ash land. There is also the possibility that the present route around Ashland will be relocated in order to elimi nate rail crossings, it was learned, although Cochran would not confirm this. JUDGE WINSX0W OFF BENCH New York United States District ' Judge Frances A. Winslow. sixty-six. ; Monday announced his resignation! from the bench, and so halted con-j gressional investigation Into malady ministration of justice made against! him in tne nouse oi represemain es. Winslow. who was appointed to the federal bench by President Harding six years ago, sent in his resignation to 'resident Hoover last week. It reached the president Monday af ternoon and was accepted. Counsel for the congressional sub- : committee, which was to have begun ; preliminary investigation into the juror's official conduct within little more than an hour after the resigna- i tion was announced, said mat mere probably would be no further action. "The act speaks for itself," he said. Announcement of the resignation was made by Winslow's counsel, Martin Con boy, who also issued a statement saying that Winslow had decided to resign because he felt that the charges against him im paired his usefulness on the bench, even tho those charges had not been proven. Additional reasons for the resignation, as listed by Conboy were strain on Winslow's health imposed by anxiety abuot the charges against him and lack of sufficient funds for such legal conflict as continuance on tne nencn wouia mane necessary. Winslow was charged in the house of representatives by Congressman F. H. LaGuardia with "grave irre gularities" in the conduct of bank ruptcy matters. PET COYOTE ATTACKS BOY Bradshaw. March 29.
