Eighty Years and Going Uncle Samuel Aaron, the carrier of the mail from the Burlington sta tion in Greenwood to the post office, both ways and who has been a faith ful worker always on the job and very courteous and careful of the work, has made his home in Green wood for the past thirty-five years. He was born in LaSalle county, Illi nois, on July 3rd, 1849. Just about the time when the excitement of the discovery of gold in California was rife. Uncle Samuel came to Nebras ka from his native state more than forty years ago, and farmed for two years near Alvo, then again at Sew ard as well as as at Valparaiso, be fore coming here.

Very Accommodating Firm The firirs of Wcite Bucknell. which does a business m Grs wood and the surrounding territory, j kept the store open on laBt Thurs day, the Fourth of July, not for the paltry dollar, but that they might ac commodate their patrons, who are at this time very busy in the fields and would be gTeatly inconvenienced in case the store was closed when they were needing1 some minor article and made a trip to town especially to get it in the pressing of the work on the farm during the very busy season. The firm is looking at the question in the right way. Makes Excellent Showing The Greenwood State Bank, in the closing of their half year's business on July 1st. were well pleased with the findings from their report, for the report, which they have to make shows that most of the borrowers have reduced their notes which the bank has been carrying and are in much better condition than at the beeinning of the year. With the ex cellent condition of the crop of small grain and also the good prospect for the corn which now exists, it is reasonable expected that by the end of the year another and even more favorable report will be made. Con servative management of the bank, and it being conducted on sound business principles accounts for the showing as much as any other cause.

Seek Change in Highway That the heavy traffic may be di verted from the main street of Green wood, where it congests everything very much, a way to solve the prob lem has been talked and it was thought that a good way would be to pass along the railroad west of the business portion, but this was after discussion dropped and sur veyors have been working on a plan to pass the highway on the east and south of town, which is now being considered. Just what will be done regarding the matter has not as yet been fully determined.

VESSELS COME TO CHIEF Santa Barbara, Calif. Three ves sels came to grief on th; rugged California coast in a dense fog early Tuesday and one of them, the steam ship Anne Hanify, with its crew of about thirty aboard, was still on the rocks off surf, opposite Point Arg uello Tuesday afternoon. The ship is owned by the Hanify Lumber and Shipping company. At about the time the Anne Han ify piled up on the rocks two steam ers, the oil tanker District of Co lumbia and the dimon freighter Pa cific Oak, collided off Point Con ception. Both vessels proceeded to Los Angeles after clearing from the crash. The Anne Hanify lost one-third of a heavy deck cargo of lumber but was believed only slightly damaged. The sea was smooth and some ob servers predicted the craft could be refloated. The steam schooner com manded by Capt. Frank Zabbart was en route to San Pedro from the Co lumbia river. Several vessels were standing by. The grounding was within a half mile of the point where seven de stroyers went ashore several years ago. CURTIS ENDS VISIT; STARTS FOR T0PEKA Chicago. July 4.

The three members still to be amed are to represent the dairying and wheat industries and possibly banking and finance, altho there is some doubt about the latter selec tion. The president has asked that a man versed in major financial oper ations would be named to the board to give the benefit of his experience n handling the $500,000,000 to be made available to the board.

JOE EUmASEK Implements Phone No. 364 Poor Quality Food for Vets is Good's Finding Milk Not Served in Walter Eeed Hospital for Year Patients Rant About Eggs Washington. July 4. An amazing condition in the quality and quant ity of food served disabled veterans at Walter Reed hospital, the largest and most important service medical center in the country, was revealed Wednesday by Secretary of War Good, in a letter to Senator Reed (R.) of Pennsylvania. The investigation was begun last May, after Reed, the chairman of the senate military affairs committee, had brought numerous complaints of veterans as to the mess and their treatment at the hands of the mili tary personnel of the hospital to the attention of Surgeon General Ireland. The inquiry was conducted under the direction of Major General Riv ers, inspector general. Plars Quick Action Conditions listed as unsatisfactory in the complaints submitted by Reed included: That the food served them is in sufficient. That the food is of poor quality. monotonous and poorly prepared. That they say they get "slum." under some other name, three times a week. That they do not get frcfdi milk. egg3 and green vegetables except when on a special diet, and Yr milk, which is one of the thi:.. tubercular patients should have, if given only to bed patients. Fruits Said Wormy That one group described the fruits that they get as "wormy." That patients who do complain are either "ridden" by the hospital personnel or invited to leave. That there are many occasions when the men not only go hungary because of the inadequacy of the food but because the quantity pro vided for the mess is insufficient to go around That nurses and hospital attaches openly make insulting remarks about to be high. According to some farm world war veterans. ers the yield will not erceed the ten That theater tickets intended for hospital patients are given instead to hospital personnel. That hospital attendants are per mitted to attend theater parties ar ranged for patients. Tickets Held Out That approximately 100 tickets for the presidential inaugural sup plied tor patients through the tour tesv of the Vice President found their way into the hands of hospital personnel. That the individuals in charge of the distribution of tickets in the Red Cross building were responsible for the conditions mentioned in the two proceding sub-paragraphs; and that. in general, the veterans receive little consideration in this connection as compared with that accorded hospi tal personnel. That veterans are told occasion ally that limited appropriations are responsible in part for the quantity and quality of the food served. That one veteran, I. T. Josephs, was threatened wnn expulsion ior failure to consent to an operation when reasonable notice of the opera tion had not been given him. No Water on Tables Inspector General Rivers in his re port concluded that criticism of the mess was warranted for the follow ing reasons: Water was not served in the din ing room.

Soup has not been given to those on full diet in the patients' mess for several months. Milk for drinking purposes has not been furnished for more than a year. Hard-boiled eggs have been served at breakfast, this not with the inten tion of furnishing hardboiled eggs, but because the cooking arrange ments were such that by the time the eggs in the bottom of the large cooking utensils have been removed they have been allowed to cook be yond the soft-boiled stage. Cooking Is Poor So-called "scrambled eggs" were not inviting. The eggs were not really scrambled, but were broken and mixed with milk and then beaten and cocked, resembling egg custard i mere man scrambled eggs. Food has not always been warm and only during the last few days have hot individual plates been used in the dining room. Because it was the understanding' of the patients that only one egg was allowed for breakfast. This under Standing: was justified -because only one egg per individual was placed upon the tables and ihe patients did not understand that they might ob tain another egg upon request. Because hot cakes and toast are not hot when served in the mess. With a large mess of this kind it is doubted that this is practicable. Because jellies and jams are not being served in the mess.
