Will Install Truck Dump
The changing of the mode of trans
portation of grain from the farms to
the elevators from the former use of
wagons to that of the truck, has
made it necessary for the elevators
to install truck dumps, and as Geo.
Stites has two elevators, he ia in
stalling a truck dump in one and
leaving the wagon dump for the
other. Thus he will be able to care
for both as they come, the wagons
and- the trucks. The truck dump
will be installed in the south ele
vator and as the continued increase
of truck hauling over wagon haul
ing comes, as it must, will make the
south elevator more accessible tor
the larger volume of the trade.

Old Settlers' Reunion
With some thirty-three members
of the Union Business Men's club of
Union at the dinner last Monday,
the largest representation which has
thus far gathered, there was much
interest manifested in all questions
brought before the club, and in fact
the time of the club was turned
over to the committee and those in
terested in the Old Settlers Associa
tion reunion.
During the past week, petitions
were circulated for the removal of
the picnic from the grounds to the
city, and an adverse one, asking that
the picnic be kept on the grounds,

the
the
grounds southwest of town.
The dates selected for holding the

Extension Club Meets.
The Women's Extension club of
Union met with Mrs. Herman Comer
last Tuesday afternoon. About thirty
members and friends were present.
A short business session was pre
sided over by the president, Mrs. Ivan
Balfour during which time several
items of business were discussed, a
report from the treasurer was read.
and each lady was given a card on
which to write a favorite receipt
which would later be u.ed by our
4-IT club girls in their work. Meet
ing was then turned over to our ex
tension leaders, Mrs. Rhin and Mrs.
Atteberry, who put us through a
"bean drill." Several of our ladies
who took the "drill" were repaid by
receiving a huge stick of candy. Our
hostess, Mrs. Comer, also put us
through several guessing .contests
one of which soon convinced us that
we were not very good carpenters,
and some of the other games were
very amusing as well as educa1
tive. (?). The "baby picture" guess
ing game was a hard one indeed, but
afforded us all heaps of amusement.
Then last but not least, was the "re
freshment" game, which was delici
ous. By this time it was getting
very late and all hastened to express
our appreciation to our hostess for
the royal good time all had enjoyed
in her home.

Relief Board
First Meeting of Farm Aid Group
Today With President Hoover
Reviewing Situation
Washington, July 14. The new
federal farm board with a fund of
$500,000,000 will begin to adminis
ter relief to the agricultural indus
try Monday.
The eight members of the board
already named are to gather with
President Hoover in the cabinet
room of the White House and then
will plan what is to be done with
the vast fund which congress has
put at their disposal to stablize the
marketing of products of the soil.
President Hoover, after a long
series of preliminary conferences
with Alexander H. Legge, Chicago,
formerly president of the Internation
al Harvester Co., and chairman of
the farm board, has worked out a
complete program which is to be sub
mitted to the meeting Monday. It
is to be a long-detailed statement
which will be made public immed
iately upon its delivery.
Reviews Situation
In this statement the President
will review the situation in. the
rural and farming industries of the
nation. He is to stress overproduc
tion, increased acreages and the im
possibility of many foreign countries
absorbing the. surplus produced on
the American farms as well as the
tariff.
His statement, it is understood,
is to be without recommendation,
but a careful analysis of the eco
nomic situation.
This first matter which is to re
ceive the attention of the new board
is that of grain. With 1.100,000.000
bushels of wheat in sight there will
be a surplus of approximately 300,
000.000 bushels, which must be
taken care of by exports or a foreign
market. The grain is now beginning
to pour into the various elevators
and there is a congestion.
No Price Fixing
The President and the farm board
wilPwork out at their first meeting
a plan or policy to deal with this
particular situation. It was learned
that the President, after his exper
ience with -the' food administration
is to urge caution in anything which
may be construed as an effort at fix
ing a price on grains, but rather to
devise some means of getting rid
of the surplus to the very best advan
tage.
I this he fs in almost continu
ous conference with Chairman Legge.
who was his associate in the food
administration during the world war.
Realizing that anything they may
say or do may upset the grain, cot
ton and other farm stock3 on the
market, it was learned that the board
and the President will proceed with
caution in any : and all pronounce
ments and with the exception of the
President's opening statement. The
board will meet in executive session
for several days. Omaha Bee-News.
Dawes is Dry
Guest at Drink
ing Party
Ambassador Passes Convivial Cup
Along at Luncheon in London
Vintners' Hall.
London American Ambassador
Dawe3 Tuesday was one of the cen
tral figures in a quaint English
drinking custom as the guest of honor
at a luncheon by the Travel Associa
tion of Great Britain and Ireland.
General Dawes and about 200 other
guests sat down at the hospitable
board of the famous old Vintners
hall, which was built near the river
Thames just after the great fire of
London of 1666. The hall is noted
for its oak panels and fine stained
glass windows.
The very name of Vintners com
pany savors of drinking and the
flowing bowl, and there were plenty
of both circulating at the luncheon
Tuesday, Ambassador Dawes abstain
ed from them all, but he could not
refrain from taking part in the an
cient ceremony of passing a huge
loving cup around the circle of
guests.
Filled with specially brewed sack,
a large cup was handed to Lord
Derby, who presided, he turned to
General Dawes and drank the am
bassador's health with due ceremony.
The ambassador then was supposed t
turn and drink to the health of the
guest on his left, who was Lord Rld-
dell, well known London publisher.
General Dawes accepted the cup,
raised It and then passed It along.
Ambassador Dawes made a char
acteristic energetic . speech, inter
spersed with his dry wit and humor.
He said there was too much talk
about improving good relations be
tween Great Britain and the United
States. Good relations were there
already, he declared, and what was
needed was to get people to recog
nize the fact. State Journal.

Walther Head Says Lutherans Seek
Regulation by Christian
Influence.
Fort Wayne, Ind., July 15. Dele
gates to the thirty-seventh interna
tional convention of the Walther
league, a young people's organization
of the Lutheran church, were stir
red to enthusiasm today by the ad
dress of the league president, E. J
Gallmeler of Fort Wayne, in which
he assailed killings during prohibi
tion enforcement raids.
"Lutherans," he declared, "believe
in regulation through Christian in
fluences and not through a police
man billy."
The speech of the league president.
in the course of which he defended
modern youth, brought a round of
applause from the convention which
is largely made up of young folks
Gallmeler has been nominated for re
election. Mr. Gallmeier declared that the
rank and file of the youth of the
present day is as fine and chaste as
that of any age.
Points to Perils.
The whole youth movement is far
from being jazz crazy, he said. He
expressed a belief that "there Is a
constant danger of certain groups
forcing their conception of morality
into laws and not placing them upon
our statutes but writing them into
the constitutions of our state and na
tion."
A program for the future work of
the league was outlined by Rev. Er
win Umbach of Chicago, the organ
ization's executive secretary in an
other address.
"Our league," said Mr. Umbach
"has a full program of endeavor that
will appeal in its entirety or in its
various parts to every young man and
every young woman. As a guage to
determine our measure of league ac
tivity and efficiency standard was
proposed to our affiliated societies
during the past year. Judging by
the returns which have reached us
we are still far from that Ideal state
where the majority of societies are
near to league perfection."
Many New Organizations.
Prof. E. H. Englebrecht of Oak
Park, 111., international secretary, re
ported that last year 87 senior and
41 junior societies were added to
the league.
Rev. Paul Miller of Fort Wayne,
chairman of the international exec
utive board, said that in 1,200 cities
of the United States and Canada the
league is now operating its hospice
system, which extends aid to young
Lutherans who are traveling or who
have moved into new locations.
