All credit and 'honor is due each individual of the class for the spirit shown in the work pre paratory to that hour. For such an examination gave proof of their dili gent work in which they acquired such a thorough knowledge of the catechism, as was revealed by them. The address given by the pastor was chosen from the text, John G: 67, "Will ye also go away?" His words of admonition well served as a guide to the class. He stressed the point that they should not turn away but should prayerfully overcome the temptations with which all Chris tians are confronted and so be fol lowers of God and remain faithful unto the end as they had vowed to do. After the sermon, the song "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes," was ren dered by the choir and immediate ly following, Ida Schuelke was re ceived in the Christian faith by the act of Holy Baptism. Then the members of the class partook of the Lord's Supper, after which they were received into membership of the church by the regular confirma tion ceremonies. This brought to a close the church services and then everyone present enjoyed a big dinner which had been prepared by the ladies of the congregation in honor of the con firmation class. The entire day proved to be a great success and should be well remembered as any confirmation day should be. It is one of the most important steps taken in life and should there ever arise any doubt in the minds of the members of the class, they will do well to remember the words of their text, "Will ye also go away?"

The state railway commission Thursday overruled the objection of intertown bus operators, and grant ed the Burlington Transportation company, a subsidiary of the railroad of that name, permission to increase the number of buses in operation be tween Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island and Hastings, and approved the schedule submitted. Twelve will be operated. The new schedule matches in num ber of buses between Omaha and Lin coln, those now operated by the bus companies, and provides for local ser vice between the two points, with an average running time of two and a half hours. Buses leave both cities at 6:30 a. m., 7:30, 9:30. and 11:30; and 1:30 p. m., 6:30 and 9:30, with one leaving Omaha at 3:30 p. and one leaving Lincoln at 4:30. Three of these buses run thru Hastings by way of Crete and Fair mont, leaving Lincoln at 10:05 a. m., 2:05 p. m, and 6:05 p. m. Return ing they leave Hastings at 7:30 a. m., 12:30 p. m. and 5:30 p. m., with a four-hour run. Connecting buses leave Lincoln from Grand Island by way of Seward, York and Aurora, at 10:30 a. m., 2:10 p. m. and 6:30 p. m. Returning they leave Grand Is land at 6:30 a. m., 11:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. A thirty-minute spread is made between the schedules of the bus companies. With Commissioner Miller dissent ing, the commission holds, on ob jections of the bus companies, that the general powers given it by the constitution give it no right to pass on whether, public .convenience and necessity call, for additional service; that no concern can acquire the ex clusive right, by reason of use, to use highways for bus service, and that there is no specific evidence to prove the charge that the Burlington con templates eventual monopoly of the highways with buses, trucks and taxicabs. Moreover, the law does not give the commission powers that em brace the prerogative of attempting to curb monopllstlc tendencies in the motor transportation field. Father's Ex periences Recit ed by Governor Had His Boot Stolen by a Horse Thief and Shot His Horse on Buffalo Hunt. Go.-ernor Weaver returned Thurs day morning from the dedication of the new county court house of Saline count, where he met a few of the pioneers that knew his father, when the elder Weaver was district judge there. County Attorney Dredla gave to Governor Weaver one of the early dockets of the court, dated in the year 1878 on which his father's name was inscribed as district judge. Governor Weaver was but thirteen years old, when his father died, but he told of several incidents in his father's life that he remembered from his youth that were later substan tiated by old settlers who were wit ness to the events. One of them: In the early days at Nelson, when the county was Just being settled it was customary for the district Judge in his travels to sleep in the court house. This is how it was, related the governor, that his father had one of his boots stolen by a horse thief who was awaiting trial. It seems that the governor's father, the sher iff, the district attorney and the horse thief were sleeping in the court room. When morning came the horse thief was gone as was one of the judge's boots, and one belonging to the district attorney. The governor also told of his fath er's abilities as a nimrod. The elder Weaver went hunting buffalo in the Republican valley and the outcome was that he paid for a horse that he shot, while the buffalo at which the charge was aimed, was uninjured. Judge Weaver had rented a horse and was pursuing a buffalo and her calf. On drawing near to the quarry he fired his pistol, but the ball pierced hs horse's head instead of striking the buffalo. He then returned to jtown and paid the liveryman for the horse, believing it head. However, the horse lived. DAWES' ARRIVAL AWAITED Washington Having made it plain that a personal conference be tween President Hoover and Premier 'MacDonald of Great Britain would be i heartily welcomed, administration ; leaders are quietly awaiting the ar rival of Ambassador Dawes at Lon don for tho next move toward bring ing the meeting about, j Instructions and information con . ecrning the proposed visit are un derstood to have been transmitted to I Mr. Dawes on board ship, since he left the United States before reports of t jcT-kon5.1c! s d Cii rc to discuss ' Angle-Aiaerican relations with the president became known. Equal Rights Move Renewed at Washington Woman's Party in Observance of Suf frage Anniversary Calls for Next Step Washington Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the passage of the woman's suffrage amendment by the Senate at a garden function here, the Woman's Party called upon its members to demand speedy action on the proposed Lucretia Mott equal rights amendment. Earlier In the day the amendment had been introduced into the Senate by Gerald P. Nye (R.) (, Senator from North Dakota. It was first introduced by Vice-President Curtis in when he was Senator from Kansas and provides that "men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction." -"Why there should be one stan dard of law for men and another for women In this great, Republic is beyond my understanding. Yet it is true that there ia this measure of Inequality here within our own borders," Mr. Nye declared in Intro ducing the amendment. James E. Watson (R.), Senator from Indiana, made the following statement on the floor of the Senate: "Twenty-throe men who are now members of this body have the dis tinction of voting for the suffrage amendment in the Senate when it was passed on June 4, 1919. I be lieve I can say that every man now in the Senate would gladly bear testimony of the fine results of gr?nting to women political equality with men. Many indeed clearly see that the right of women to complete equality is convincingly demonstrat ed by the manner in which American women have borne their pait In our national life since the suffrage amendment was adopted in the Senate 10 years ago today." "Don't mix equality with ident ity," Mabel Vernon, executive secre tary of the Party, urged the women. "We do not want to imitate men. We want the course and opportunity to be ourselves." Florence Bayard Hilles. chairman of the Delaware section of the party, presiding at the meeting called upon the members to remove more than 60 discriminations against women now appearing in state laws.

Special We We POPULARIZING POLO AT HOT SPRINGS Hot Springs, S. D., June 12.

New Towing Hook Makes Tugs Safe from Capsizing Releasing Gear, Lessening Risks From Lateral ull, Invented by German Concern London One of the things to be guarded against when a tug is tow ing another craft is the risk of cap sizing or taking a heavy list through being subjected to a lateral pull. A German concern has invented a hook operated by a new method of re leasing gear whereby the hook is automatically released before the lat eral strain reaches danger point. The releasing of the hook is worked by the ship's movement be ing transferred to a quantity of mercury in a U-shaped glass tube. The mercury, of course, goes up or down in the tube according to the movement of the ship, latinum con tacts are melted into the glass tube at points to correspond with an an gle suited to the ship's stability conditions. These contacts are con nected with a small battery, the cur rent being led to the releasing gear by way of the mercury in the tube. The hook is held in its working position by a coupling which is only exposed to a slight extent to the tow ing pull. Two circuits connect the mercury column with the platinum contacts. In the coupling are two re sistances which, when heated by tV.c electric current, burn out a fuse which forms pa,rt of -the coupling. Thus part of the coupling being de stroyed, it opens and the hook turns on its axis, drops and releases the two line. The replacement of the hook and of a new safety fuse can be easily and quickly done by any one. XERMIT ROOSEVELT HOME San Francisco Kermit Roosevelt, son of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, arrived here Wednesday en route to hi3 home in the east after a hunting expedition in China.

However Under 'Vcluntaiy' Contracts It Is Reported. Lincoln, Neb., June 12. The movement sponsored by the mid-west wheat pool organization for contract pooling of Nebraska and western Wyoming wheat has failed for this year because of lack of sufficient sup- i port from growers, it was assorted here Wednesday by officials of th pooling group, organized as the Mid west Grain Marketing association. It was announced that the organ ization had been unable to bring into j the pool 50 per cent of the wheat i growers in the territory represented. and that directors therefore had found it necessary to abandon plans for the 1929 pool. Say Prospects Poor. All contracts signed by growers, it is explained, contain the proviso that the agreement to pool was not to be binding unless the total pool ing amounted to 50 per cent by July 1. There is no prospect of bringing the total up to the required amount, directors decided in agreeing to call off this year's pool at once. The organization will continue to function, it was said, and will ac cept for merchandising all wheat turned over to it under "voluntary" contracts. It will also continue ac tivities to form a 1930 pool repre senting the required 50 per cent t wheat grown on Nebraska and we:' ern Wyoming arms, officials said. Had Stormy Meeting. According to one of the highest officers of the pool organization, tin1 decision to release from contracts all those who had signed pooling agree ments was reached here Saturday at a stormy meeting during which di rectors learned that only 11 thou sand contracts were available. This discovery, according to tbrt same official, led to dismissal of Philip F. Press, who has been serving as managing director of the pool, and J. W. Biinton, who has been assistant director. Defore adjourn ment :it 1 a. m. Sunday, the directors had agreed, according to the infor mation obtained Wednesday, to pro ceed in future under the leadership of Earnest Peterson of Axtell, presi dent of the pool organization. Printon late tonight denied that he and Rross are no longer connected with the pool, since, he says, the old board is not qualified to act and the new board does not become effective until after July 1. The meeting here Saturday night was conducted by leaders of an old wheat pool, he says, which has no bearing on either him or Dross. World-Herald. S'.Hieriiitend'-nt K. K.
