Hand Died at Green wood Thursday Prominent and Loved Resident Of , the rejease from his lone illness and suffering and to the aged man the death niessehger came as a blessed relief. Mr. Hand has long been prominent in Cass county and was a member of the state house of representatives in 1904. He was also a member of Greenwood lodge No. 163 of the A. F. & A. M. and of the Scottish Rite and Shrine at Lincoln as well as be ing an active member of the I. O. O. F. in his home community. William Edward Hand was born in Washington, Iowa, during the month of September, 1857. and when five years old, removed from t here to Illinois with his parents and later came to Nebraska. When he was a young man he came to Ithica where he entered the employ of the Rails back Grain company as manager of an elevator there. Later he came to Greenwood and in 1SS8 assumed con trol of an elevator in Greenwood for the some firm and has made his home there since has has ever been identi fied with the interest of the city and its activities. He become a member of the Christian church in his early boyhood, and has ever stood by the church doing his best in the vork which it called him to do. as wellas the Bible school, he being superin tendent and teacher in the school during the many years of his connec tion with this christian institution. Mr. and Mrs. Hand have been mar ried for over fifty years and their homo was blessed by three children. Warren Hand, the oldest, resides in Lincoln, while two girls died in in fancy. Mr. Hand was a republican all his life and active in politics until the last few years when his health has not permitted his taking an ac tive part in any public work. For years he was justice of the peace and made an excellent one al ways tempering his decisions with justice and mercy. A friend always of the poor and oppressed and ever ready to extend the helping hand to one in need. Greenwood city as well as the family have suffered during his period of feebleness, the help which he always rendered to the city, the family and the public. Disability to Youth Blinded Trying Suicide Court Allows $25 a Month to Eagle Boy Who 'Tired of Living;' Bank Cases Decided Lincoln. June 26. John Sneddon, 19-year-old Eagle boy, who vu u tai ly blinded when he attempted to commit suicide two years ago be cause he was "tired of living," will receive $25 a month under the dis ability clause of his $2,500 lif? in surance policy, in accordance with a decision by the supreme cour'. com mission Wednesday. When the guardian of the boy. Annie Ronhovde. applied to the Farmers Life Insurance Co. for pay ment under the disability clause, the company contested the clairi on the grounds that his attempted suicide had relieved it of liability. Property Sale Unheld The state law provides that no insurance policy shall be contestable on account of suicide when two years have elapsed from the date of issu ance, but the policy contained a one- year incontestability clause. The shooting occurred just a few days before the two-year limit expired, but the commission holds that the policy clause takes precedence. Another opinion upheld the val idity of the sale of some property by George Hahn, Octavia farmer, to his wife, which the Banking House of Folda contended was an attempt to prevent it from collecting on a $5,000 judgment against Hahn. The property was obtained by Hahn in the settlement of his father's estate. The commission finds that the trans fer was made in good faith and that no attempt was made to defraud the bank. Bank Loses Case Ruling that accommodation notes given a bank, for which a thing was received in return, cannot be col lected on, the commission affirmed the trial court's decision against the ! armors and Merchants bank of Sterling and in favor of Dorothy B. Graff The note for $750 was given the bank when Dorothy Graff was un able to pay an assessment demanded by the state department on her seven shares of stock. The president of the bank offered at that time to take t:it stock, according to the records, but explained to the woman that be- ciuse of his official position he could not pay for them at the time. He asked her to place the note in the , bank for the timA ltntr with ui.aers rstandintr that she wmilri i t- no way obligated,.

A federal investi gation of charges that five Phoenix policemen had slain two Mexicans and wounded a Nicaraguan in a "frame up"- of a drug store robberp here last January had resulted Wed nesday in their dismissal. The shooting was followed by com plaints of the Mexican and Nicara guan governments based on an affi davit of Rudolph Vielez said the offi cers gave him and his companions .liquor, took them to the store in a police car and shot them down after forcing them to attempt a robbery. The Mexicans killed were Joe Bustamente, twetny-six, . and Mario Garciag. Vielez was sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary for robbery. The officers dismissed were W. A. Walker, E. L. Guernsey, S. M. Shockey, R. S. Shockey and M. S. Frasier. Labor Willing to Encourage Larger Output President of Trade Union Affirms Workers Recognize Need of More Production Paris American Labor's willing ness to encourage increased produc tion through scient'iic management and machinery was conveyed in a letter from William Green, president of the American Federation of La bor, read recently before the fourth international congress for scientific management at the Sorbonne by Morris Lle'welyn Cooke, of Philadel phia. "Labor," said Mr. Green in his letter, "has an interest in increasing production, because only out of in creased output can come sustained rises in the standard of living. Trade unions are ready to co-operate in promoting economies in production when thre are set up agencies that a.-sure them justice and equity. "The American Federation of La bor recognizes that the interests of wage earners are interdependent up on the interests of all other groups. If industry is to maintain produc tion, if prosperity is to continue for the community and for the Nation, wage earners and other groups must have sustained purchasing power." Mr. Green said business expansion and technical advances placed a heavier burden on management, which must be mainly responsible for "eliminating waste in production, for assuring steady employment for those employed, for steadily increas ing wages as productivity increases and for planning in advance for workers displaced by machinery and technical change. "The workers also have a respon sibility for these problems which they can undertake through their trade unions when apencies and channels of co-operation have been established." the letted adds. "Labor realizes that is constructive oppor tunity conies when mechanical power and machinery supply tools of wider demand on judgment and informa tion."

Leeds, Eng. Despite the multi tude of industries varying from ; shipbuilding and the iron and steel of the Tees in the north, the wool and clothing trades of the Wset Rid liner. n1 th Hfl-tool manufacture around Sheffield, to the coal mining in the Doncaster area in the south agriculture still remains the staple industry of Yorkshire. Exact and up- to-date figures are not available, but it is safe to say that almost all of the country's "broad acres" are giv en up to farming. Naturally, methods and crops vary considerably. The largest holdings. generall, are found in the woods of the East Riding, where the average Is some 90 acres; in the North Rid ing the average drops to some 65 acres, while the West Riding, which in 1925 had 1,094,691 acres under crops and grass a somewhat sur prising area In a district better known as the workshop of England is a land of small holdings. Decline in Live Stock. The decline in the number of horses, cattle, and sheep bred in the industrial areas is a marked feature of more recent times. The actual breeding qualities of mature animals may be unimpaired through living in a smoky atmosphere and on grass soiled by soot deposits, but it is not possible to rear the best of young stock under such conditions, and only a small proportion of those so reared are used in turn as breeding stock. On the dales of the North Riding, however, where cattle and sheep can be reared under more hardy and natural conditions, the farmer in the industrial area can draw to maintain his herds, and there has thus developed a consid erable trade between what may be called the rearing and the produc ing centers. Devoted to Pasture. The Vale of York that large plain which surrounds the capital city is almost entirely agricultural and is probably the richest grain-producing district for its size in the whole country. In the dales, on the other hand, there is scarcely any corn, owing alike to the elevation of the ground and the general inclemency of the weather. Here the rich ground in the bottom of the valleys is almost entirely devoted to meadow and pas ture, while the higher moorland is used for the grazing of sheep. These are the districts of dairy produce. One dale in particular Wensleydale has become famed throughout Eng land for its cheeses, although to a certain extent the term "Wensley dale cheese" has been given by cus tom a wider application than the produce of the actual valley itself. Gainford, on the edge of the North Riding, has similarly won extended notice for the quality of its short horn cattle mainly through the many show processes- of one noted breeder. In the East Riding, an area almost entirely agricultural, 66 per cent of the land is arable to 34 per cent pasture, and there are some 69,000 acies of wheat. Potatoes are a very important crop, In fact often the most important crop, on many of the farms in the Selby district, and here, too, sugar beet has been increasingly grown in recent years. On the heavy alluvial soil and good crops are ob tained with a very satisfactory sugar content. An unusual crop cultivated for a great number of years near Ponte fract is licorice, a plant with roots three or four feet long, the juice of which is made into stick, or "Span ish," licorice and "Pomfret cakes," a sweetmeat. Another agricultural oddity is the number of acres some 2,500 devoted to the growing of rhubarb, which far exceeds that put to a similar purpose in any other county. Pigs Prove Paying. Pigs, during the last year or two, have proved a paying "side line" to many farmers and a farmers' bacon factory at Sherburn-in-EImet was es tablished in 1927. Poultry breeding, too is extensively practiced. Accord ing to the latest poultry census tak en by the Ministry of Agriculture there were 30,500,000 fowls in Eng land and Wales, and Yorkshire's share of this number was well over 3,500,000. These figures are remark able when it is remembered that the returns only include the poultry on holdings over one acre. There must be millions of birds kept by dwellers in the large industrial areas on land in many cases only a few square yards in extent. No article on the agricultural ac tivities of Yorkshire would be com plete without reference to the edu cational work performed by Leed3 University. Experimental Farm. From small beginnings the Depart ment of Agriculture has, with the help of the three county councils, now acquired an experimental farm, wiar a fixed dairy school, and pro vides county lectures (consisting of single lectures or courses) on such subject, as dairying, agricultural eco nomics, farriery, poultry keeping, bee keeping, etc. In 1919 four univer sity leaders on agriculture were ap pointed to be stationed each at a selected center of the county, each to be in daily touch with the farmers In his dietrict, and so successful has thi3 been fcusa thtt th estaff has siuce been increased. Valuable work is also 'done on - a fruit-testing: sub . station, which is equipped "with a ' meteorological station, and it is hop ed in time to encourage and revive ' a culture that is somewhat neglected !in the county. f H-H-!-I-M-I-I-I-I-I--M-M- t INDUSTRIAL NOTES Te following record of industrial activity lists items showing invest ment of capital, employment of labor &nd buslnes8 activities and oppor- tunities.

Dry Senator Urges Drinks; Wine and Beer Gould of Maine, Elected on Arid Platform, Tells Views in Grape Juice Testimonial. Presquc Isle. Me., June 28. Maine, which 75 years ago adopted a prohibitory liquor law, Friday learned its Junior United States sen ator, elected on a dry platform, was an advocate of modification. Senator Arthur R. Gould (R.) in support of a testimonial letter in which he told a grape Juice company he had secured "some very good re sults" from the concern's unferment ed product, asserted it was his "right to have, make and drink" light wines and beers. For Beer and Wine. He said licensing of light wines and beer would be a great improve ment over the present prohibition law "which seems impossible to enforce." The statement drew announce ments from anti-saloon leaders that the state's dry forces would be align ed against his re-election a year hence. The letter was made public in a St. Louis civil action after counsel for the grape Juice company said it would be introduced to refute claims that the concern's produt was unsat isfatory.
