Last Tuesday, Frank Trotter, who is a truckman, hauling stock and merchandise all over the country, was caued to take a load of hogs, for a client and took them to Nebraska City. Frank has had a very friendly feeling for the hustling town of Otoe county, and has taken hogs there many a trip, to the benefit of the town. This time he unloaded his hogs, and started for home, and hav- snen.linsr ,..,. .

Now they are both doing some thinking. George A. Stites of Union was a visitor in Nehawka for a short time 0:1 Tuesday of this week and while in town was a caller on his friend, J.

Peter Opp, who is well past iwui fi;uie maiK. was a visitor in portion of the town, dropped off and ran into the store and procured Bronio Selzer, and as he rushed back to his truck standing in front of the store, was intercepted by a copper and toted off to the police court. where they assessed Frank, a fine and costs amounting to six dollars. This may be their style, but it has not made Frank feel any more frienly towards the city, and probably he will go to Omaha just as often as possible with stock in the future Tobacco, Not Cabbage Thomas Pitman of Avoca, who has seen many years in that town and knows well the quality of the soil, l has been growing tobacco, and knows ; just the kind of soil to make the l strongest or the weed, as well as .

Work Going Forward. The work of the Methodist church building which has been in progress for some time past, is going forward very satisfactorily at this time and all of the appointments are being met with promptness, as the commit now has sufficient funds in sight for the entire completion of the improve ments on the building, which is very satisfactory to the committee and the church. Doing Some Building Now. Paul Schlictemeier, who has been employed in Lincoln for the most part of the late summer and fall, was home for a number of days during the past and this week, was building some and making some improvements at the house where the hired help is living. Mr. Schlictemeier has been engaged in selling thrift investments, and has found it a very good business. UNION MEN LOCKED OUT BougTit Some Cattle. "W. O. Troop and son, Robert Troop, were over to Fremont on last Sat urday and were accompanied by Wm. Gorder, where they were looking over the feeders which were offered for sale. There were some good feeders, and at a very fair price, and Messrs. Troop and Troop purchased two car loads, which they had shipped to My nard and from there taken to the feeding lots where Robert Troop re sides, to be fattened and returned to the market.

Chicago The first nighters of the civic opera season who waited until Monday to pluck their swallowtails from the moth balls and found a spot on the waistcoat were in a pic kle. The clearners and dyers have shut down for the week. Ignoring the prospect of a peak oad of cleaning and pressing busi ness during the gala opening week of the civic opera, 110 plants affiliat ed with the Master Cleaners and Dvers association locked their doors Mondav against 2.300 union work ers. Hut they promsea to reopen in a week to nonunion labor. Fifty percent of the employes have signified their willingness to quit the Cleaners, Dyers and Perssers union, C. L. Patterson, executive sec retary of the Employers association, announced. He said the plants would reopen next Monday, "and the men and women who return to work will be protected." The union is losing $15, 000 a day, Patterson said, and the plants are losing $135,000. He ex plained that the fight is not with union labor but with Ben Abrams, who dominates the union and who has projected a $1,000,000 cleaning plant to be operated by the union. Patterson said he would confer with the federal district attorney con cerning possible government action against the union for violation of the Sherman antitrust act thru restraint of trade. ARMY REPORTS REQUESTED Washington Representative Bar bour, republican, California, chair man of the house war department ap propriations subcommittee, announc ed Saturday he had requested the war department to furnish him with the report of the army general staff upon President Hoover's military economy program to be utilised by his subcommittee which starts con sideration of that department's sup ply bill on Nov. 15. One of the general staff surveys. he said, was a study on the proposed abandonment of a number of smaller military posts in the nation. He said there were a number of posts which were not of strategic value and could be abandoned without injurying the national defense. He also said he had been in form ed that the war department is con templating suspension of construc tion work authorized under the $100,000,000 military building act at a number of posts which may be given up as a result of the economy survey. Representative McSwain. democrat, South Carolina, ranking minority member of the house military com mittee, said he favored the proposal to abandon military posts which do not contribute to the national de fense program. Move to Hurry Up the Tariff Work Fails Washington The first definite move to hasten action on the tariff bill ended in failure Tuesday in the senate and a subsequent proposal to abandon the measure until the regu lar session opening in December was allowed to lie on the table. Finding the measure still making little headway despite the urgings for quicker action from President Hoover and senate party leaders. Chairman Smoot of the finance com mittee who is steering the bill for the administration republicans, ask ed that beginning Wednesday and for the remainder of the week debate be confined to the tariff and nothing else. Altho Smoot allowed a half hour each in the morning and afternoon for introduction of other business the proposal met the objection of Senator Dill of Washington, who said he could not consent to interfering with the age old custom of permit ting free and open discussion in the senate. Plugging to Continue. Senator Walsh of Montana, acting democratic leader, endeavored in vain to induce the Washington senator to reconsider. Then, after a round of debate in which Senator Xorris ap pealed to senators to stop talking about procedure and "get along with the bill," Senator Blease of South Carolina, offered a resolution to post pone further consideration of the measure until the day following dis position of the Vare case in the regu lar session. The resolution cieated" no discus sion on the floor and republican lead ers expressed the view afterward that the senate would continue plugging away with the bill without a res pite between the special and Decem ber sessions. Senator Jones of Washington, act ing republican leader, said he did not believe that under the present pro cedure the resolution could be tak en up except by a motion to recom mit the bill. Smoot's Plea Vigorous. Smoot made a vigorous plea for agreement to his unanimous consent request. "I beg the senators to let this bill pass in some form," he as serted, after pointing out that only four and a half hours had been spent on the bill since the middle of last week. The Utahan conceded the coal ition had enough votes to defeat it. However, he urged the speeding of the bill to conference, saying then "the senate can decide whether it wants the bill or not." Senators Walsh and Norris had no objection to the agreement be ing entered into but did oppose un due haste, declaring the debate on the pending measure had been more to the point than in an tariff bill in history. Once the debate turned again to rates the senate was treated to -as wide a split in party and factional groups as has taken place since schedules were taken up. Democrats and republican independents left their camps on two occasions. to vote for republican committee amend ments providing for rate reductions, losing in one and winning in the other attempt. Debate to Be Limited. By a vote of forty to thirty-five the senate rejected a committee pro posal to cut to $1.50 a ton the exist ing rate of $4 a ton on crude pro duced in the southeastern states and used in the manufacture of paper and pottery. A proposal by Senator Fletcher of Florida, to raise the rate to $3.75 lost without a roll call. A little later the senate rejected, forty-four to twenty-seven, an amend ment by Senator Pittman, democrat, Nevada, to retain the existing rate of $4 a ton on crude silica, a raw 1 V V-r V JLJ1VU1M Coat Week Fridav.

Speculation may be "bad business" for the ordi nary mortal and the despair of econ omists, but it accounted for nearly $2,000,000,000 of American income in 1927. Speculation in real estate, stocks ami bonds netted $1,813, 395,000 in 1927 to that group of American pub lic which pays income tax returns, the bureau of internal revenue an nounced Monday in its anual analy sis of income tax statistics. It represented 6.92 per cent of the gross income of individuals of 26,- 208,000,000. Wages and salaries made up $10, 218,449,000 of the total; business, $3,287,000,000; partnerships, $1,- 755,000,000; and $1,081,000,000 cap ital net gain from. assets held more than two years. The speculative gains reported in income tax returns filed in 1929 based on the profits of 1928, big year in the stock market, undoubtedly will show a tremendous jump over 1927, since only in the last few months of that year did speculative activities gain heavy momentum. ca o ft mm 69c y and SPECIALS!
