Frank Taylor added to his farm equipment one of the new disc har rows which is handled by the R. M. Coalman Hardware company, and is very well satisfied with the new ac quisition. The Alvo Cemetery association met last Wednesday afternoon at the liome of Mr. and Mrs. George Curyea. where they were looking after some matters pertaining to the care of the cemeteries. The Ladies Aid society of the Methodist church, of Alvo, were en joying a meeting at the home of Mrs. S. C. Boyles Wednesday afternoon, and were entertained by Mrs. Boyles in a very pleasant manner. John B. Skinner found business pretty good during the past week, he making a trip every day of the week and sometimes making an extra short trip about the country besides the ones which he made to Omaha. Roy Fcss and wife, of Denver, were visitinsr for a few days in and at Alvo. they driving in from their, home in a car and were guests at the home of their friends, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Fifer, northwest of town. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Frainne, of Lincoln, were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dinges. where all enjoyed the visit very much as wo!! as the excellent dinner which was ferved. Mesdames Fraime and Dinges are sisters. A. B. Stromer and Art Dinges were wiring the home of C. F. Rosenow so thty can have electric lights and do away with the old coal oil lights. Mr. Rpscnow was fortunate in that he wss able to get the work done by two Mich clever gentlemen. J. H.

On last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Coatman entertained and had as their guests for the day and a very fine dinner, R. M. Coatman and fam ily, of Alvo. and W. W. Coatman and family of Elm wood. Needless to say, everyone enjoyed the occasion very much. The Farmers Oil company, of Prairie Home installed a kerosene pump at the store of R. M. Coatman, whkh will afford an adequate stor pge of oil for all purposes and as the use of kerosene is gaining there will be much demand for this article for fuel for power farming. While working in Lincoln, Gayle Bird had the misfortune to allow a heavy piece of timber to fall on one of his toes, with the result that the member was quite badly bruised and Gayle had to lay off and so utilized the time by visiting with the par ents.

The father, Bert Kitzel. is doing nicely also and is sure smiling, and why not, for what greater gift f-ouid be given than a son to com fort them in the years to come. Edward Nelson was a visitor in Lincoln on last Wednesday, where he went to secure some goods for the store, he being kept at the store so closely on account of the increase in trade that it is hard for him to get away. Mrs. Nelson was down and looked after the store while he was away. This keeps Mr. Nelson very closely to . the business and Teally closer than he desires to be kept, but business is business and he is kept at it. With the professor, Jesse Brant, their teacher, as one of the crowd, the Senior class of the Alvo High school selected last Wednesday as their annual sneak day and all went to Omaha, where they visited many ft the bigger institutions of that city and had explained to them the p'ans of operation of the industries there as far as the length of tjxe day would allow. They returned in the evening feeling that they had been well repaid for the day they had spent in their investigation. For seme time past Carl Rosenow has been troubled with his tonsils and having gotten tired with the an noyance which they have been giv ing 'this gentleman, he concluded to rever his connections with them and accordingly he and the good wife went to Lincoln on last Monday and Carl underwent an operation for the removal of the same. Since then he has been getting along nicely, not withstanding that he has had some what of a sore throat. He and the wife were over to Lincoln again n last Wednesday, looking after some business matters. rjuranize Hew TownBoard The new town board, which is the result of the late city election,' brings to the new members the work of looking after the affairs of the city in a new light that it when one has to do it himself, it Is different than when the other fellow looks af- j ter the matter. Here is tne new line up and we are certain they will do i fl and - it the very best. Art umges, presi Let the Women Do the Work Sure and they will when they have an opportunity, for they truly love to work, and have the plans already ,,,i0r u-9v for beautifyine the park- inn, and the grounds around thel Methodist church, where they will set out posts and protections for the flowers which they expect to grow about the place. The Woman's Read ing club of Alvo is a force for the better appearing and better being of the city and all its activities. Is Feeling Some Better Charles Godbey. who was so badly injured during the past winter, is gaining with every day and getting stronger. On last Tuesday. April 30th, he passed his 64th birthday anniversary and barring the accident of last winter is feeling quite fine. Mr. Godbev was born in Iowa and came tcTNebraska about forty years ago. With the daughter and family they celebrated the passing of the anniversary on last Sunday, two days before the passing of the date, but as they were to be busy on the real birthday, the gathering on Sunday was a very appropriate one. Woods Quotes Bible on Farm Relief Problem House Bill Is "Long Step Ahead" Says Lincoln Man of Farm Legislation. Washington, May 1. Mark W. Woods of Lincoln, Neb., said today that the house farm relief bill is a long step toward enabling the farm ers' organizations to carry a surplus with as little damage to the price balance of their crop as possible. "While we are considering the farm problem of surplus crops, we need to remember the story of Joseph and the seven years of famine, as described in the holy writ," he said. "The wisdom of Joseph in storing wheat during the fat years to use during the lean years and years of famine was a divine precautionary measure that is as valid today as it ever was." he said. "When crops fail in the far east, starvation takes its toll in millions. It would be the same in Europe and America if there were not surpluses carried over as re serves. A certain surplus is neces sary as Insurance against famine. "Some plan should be devised," Mr. Woods continued, "by which a surplus can be carried so as not to. injure the man who produces it. That is one sound reason why we step in as a nation and enact meas ures to enable the farmers' organ- iztions to carry this surplus with as little damage to the price of the bal ance of their crop as is possible. "I believe," he said, "that the leg islation that has been passed by the house of representatives is a long step in this direction. It leaves the busi ness of aerriculture where it belongs the carrying; over and disposing of j surpluses without so seriously affect- ing the price of the part of the crop required for current needs.

SEES HIGH DISCOUNT BATE Washington Finances and the tariff occupied the attention Wednes day of delegates to the annual con vention of the United States cham ber of commerce. Increase of the federal reserve re discount rate from 5 to 6 per cent or higher, was advocated by Profes sor O. M. W. Sprague, of Harvard university as a means of restricting the- amount of money used in specu lation. Chairman Hawley of the house ways and means committee told the delegates that the making of a tariff bill is entirely a domestic problem and that the United States alone has the right to say what tariff barriers shall be erected. He added, however, that suggestions from foreign coun tries had been considered in formu lating the house tariff bill which, he said, probably would be reported out of committee Saturday. COMMISSION IS UNDECIDED Washington Robert E. Healy, chief counsel of the federal trade commission, Indicated Wednesday that the commission probably would hold no more public hearings, at least in the immediate future, in its in vestigation into the alleged financial interest of the International Paper and. Power company and its affiliated concerns, which were placed in the official record of the testimony at Tuesday's hearings of A. R. Graus tein of Boston, president of the In ternational Paper and Power com pany. FOE BENT I have a nice pasture "with plenty of good water. Will rent pasture or take in stock. Call phone 55. P. A.

Spring Business Conditions Good Expansion of Operations More Pro nounced Than Usual Eeports Federal Reserve Bank "The expansion of business throughout thetenth federal re serve district in March was more pronounced than that which usu ally takes place at the opening of the spring season," the federal re serve bank at Kansas City says in its monthly review issued Tuesday. "The returns show production and distribution of commodities and banking operations to have been at the highest level for March in recent years, and the accumulated volume for the vrst quarter of 1929 greater than that for the first period of 1928," the review states. "Prelim inary reports for April indicate a continuance of the high rate of ac tivity and a good beginning for the second quarter." Car loadings of twenty-nine prin cipal commodities in. the district were larger in March and the first quarter than last year, the report continues. Estimated requirements for April, May and June reported by manufacturers and shippers called for moer freight cars than in the second quarter of 19 28. Record-Breaking Sales. "Department store reports indicat ed distribution of goods to customers to have been in recordbreaking vol ume for this spring month," the re port declares. "Their accumulated sales for the first three months show ed a gain of 3.6 per cent over the same period last year. "Productive activity in leading in dustries during March was at the hiehest level of recent years. Man ufacturers of combines for cse in the coming harvest, and of grain storage bins and other fram machinerq, and car-building shops were working at full-time capacity. The flour output was larger than a year ago, while that of meat-packing plants was smaller. "Building construction made a good start for the season. The num ber of permits issued in leading cities was the highest for March since 1926, and the value of permits the highest for March since 19 25. The value of contracts awarded in the district was smaller than in March and the first quarter of last year. Planting Progresses. "Farmers throughout the broad agricultural area in the district made good progress with the plant ing of a well-balanced acreage of leading crops. At the middle of April reports indicated that in most sec tions farmers were almost as far along with their spring work as usual, although on account of heavy rains a few sections were still be hind in their plantings. Winter wheat was making a much better showing than had been anticipated. The condition of 80 per cent of nor mal on April 1 in this district com pared with 76.9 per cent a year ago. with indications that abandonment would not be as large as last year. "This year's March receipts of cattle, sheep and hogs were smaller than in March, 1928, although re ceipts of calves were somewhat larg er. Final figures for the first quar ter of 1929 showed receipts of all classes of meat animals at the six markets fell short of the receipts in the preceding year. Cattle de creased 13 per cent, calves, 9.1; hogs, 10.9. and sheep, .3. "The demand for bank loans for commercial and agricultural uses in creased seasonably in recent weeks and was heavier than at this time last year, while the demand for col lateral loans was less active than in the corresponding period last year. Loans and discounts of sixty- three reporting member banks in the dis trict, totaling $447,632,000 on April 3, were $511,000 higher than on April 4 last year, the review con cludes. " KING HONORS BOOTH London, April 29. King George today ordered conferred on Gen. Bramwell Booth, deposed commender-in-chief of the Salvation Army, the order of "companion of honor." The order carries no title, or precendence, but ranks after the first class of the "oder of the British empire." Only a limited number of awards have been made, going to members of both sexes. "The general naturally is pleased that the honor has been conferred," his secretary said this afternoon, "not so much for his own sake, as for the sake of the Army. He feels that a great many people in the army will regard it as a mark of esteem for the work of the Salva tion Army." The general passed a faid week end, his secretary stated, and has been on the upgrade from his lnog illness for several days past. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, 83.
