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

is kept at it.

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

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.

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. It ot

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

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.
