Carl Stander, Sr., believing in
getting the best, last week made the
purchase from an Ashland house of
a new Chevrolet truck, which he will
use for the heavy hauling, both on
the farm and on the road.
Harold Bell who has heretofore
had an International truck, and was
well pleased with the excellent ser
vice it gave him, has traded the old
one in and gotten one of the very
latest models of this excellent gas
wagon.
Airs. Henry Wilklns was a visitor
at Falmyra, where she was a gueBt

days during the past week. The fam

and Douelas and had many close
friends in that neighborhood.
Mrs. A. V. Hudson has been kept
from the store and a good portion of
the time in bed as the result of a
very severe attack of the grippe, but
during the latter portion of last week
was reported as being much improv
ed and was hoping soon to be able
to be out again.
O. F. Peters and son, Glen, will de
part for California this week, where
they expect to remain for a time and
enioy the spring like weather. Mr.
O. F. Peters was a visitor there, ac

part of last winter and enjoyed their
stay there very much. It looks like
Uncle Otto likes the genial climate
of California.
W. E. Pailing, S. S. Petersen and

one night last week, where they were
visiting with friends and remained
for -the celebration of decorating one
of the older members of the order

will make their home for the present,
they having had a sale on last Tues
day and moved from the farm. Mer

Five Generations Meet
On Christmas day at the home of
Mrs. Dora Leesley, there were gath
ered as per the usual arrangements,
the families of Mrs. Dora Leesley and
her son, W. H. Leesley, who always
celebrate the Christmas day togeth
er, but on this occasion there were
others added to the list, which ex
tended the gathering to cover other
generations. Uncle Ben Coffin, the
father of Mrs. Leesley, who .makes
his borne in Greenwood, was the old
est, being 8S years o age. Then came
his daughter, Mrs. Dora Leesley, who
is 68 years of age, and her son, W.
H. Leesley, who is 4C years of age,
his daughter, Mrs. George Leaver,
who is 20, and their daughter, little
Joctih. who is six months of age. All
enjoyed the gathering from the old
est to the youngest and had their
picture takes in the open.
Had Excellent Time
The ladies card club of Greenwood,
held at the I. O. O. F. hall a very
pleasing evening on last Tuesday
evening, when they entertained their
husbands at pinocle and also fur
nished them good eats as well. The
luck seemed to be with Ivan Arm
strong and wife, as they won the first
prize while the other went to good
natured George Bucknell, who smiled
his grandest when he was awarded
the other prize. However, all enjoy
ed an excellent time.
Measles Mostly Over
The epidemic of measles which ha3
prevailed in and about Greenwood
for some time past, and which has
in a measure interfered with the
pchools and other matters has in a
degree subsided and but few are now
having them and they are getting
along nicely and it is hoped that all
will soon be well that have had
them.
Selling Excellent Cars
Matthews and Peterson, the hust
ling garage men, and by the way,
fine men as well as workmen, are al
ways on the spot to look after work
Stock Hauling

Hauling by Truck service. We will
give special attention to your needs
day or night. Very careful handling

A Progressive Institution.
Several years since George Buck
nell wa3 sent to Greenwood by the
Searle Chardn Lumber company, as
their manager, and conducted the in
stitution here in excellent manner
After having remained here for some
time, he with Mr. W. A. White be
came associated together and pur
chased the W. A. Armstrong hard
ware store. They immediately re
arranged the business and found
good field for operation in the hard
ware and furniture line and after
having conducted the business in the
old stand at the east end of the
street on the south side, they had an
opportunity to secure the I. O. O. F
building, on the closing out of the
store which was there, and after the
building was placed in excellent con
dition, they moved their stock into
this place, where they have remain
ed1 since. They had a very nicee bus!
ncss when they moved to the new lo
cation and since then by good busi
ness practice and an endless amount
of hustling, looking always to the
best Interests of their clientele, they
have increased their business in every
line, and the past year has been the
very best and by a good margin over
any year since they have been en
gaged in business. They are looking
to the present year as one which will
be even better for they are in a way
better prepared to give better service
than in the past, and service and the
best goods are what counts in the
long run. They extend an invitation
to come and see them when needing
anything in their line as well as to
just drop in and visit with them at
any time.
Sells Excellent Radio
A. R. Birdsall. the caterer and
radio dealer sold last week one of
the famous Majestic radios of the
console pattern, with eight tubes and
?apable of getting news from "Dark
est Africa." Dr. L. D. Lee, of Mur
dock. "was the purchaser, and the
new machine was taken over a few
days ago and installed and is now
working in fine order.
Cafe and Ticket Office
The Interstate bus lines, which
have been stopping going one way at
one of the restaurants and going the
other way at the other restaurant,
have arranged to have their ticket
office with A. R. Birdsall and tickets
an be purchased from this office to
any point covered by the Interstate
lines.
Think to Organize Clnb
It might be only just thinking.
but one cannot tell, they may even
do it. There are fourteen men in
Greenwood by the name of Bert, and
they are contemplating the organiz
ing of a "Bert" club. Bert Birdsall
and Bert McElwain are as much in
terested as any, but such a club might
be the means of having a pretty good
time once in a while.
Injured in Kansas City
While driving in Kansas City a
short time since, Mrs. John Schulling
was injured in an auto accident. Just
how and to what extent we were un
able to find oat, but our informant
said she was more or less injured.
The Schullings on leaving here went
to Beaver Crossing, where they are
still making their home.
Will Join Louisville and Plr.ttsmouth
The Odd Fellows of Green wood will
this evening join with the two lodges
of the order at Louisville with the
Louisville lodge and the one from
riattsmouth in their installation of
officers. They are expecting to have
good time at the meeting, and they
will surely have some good eats fol
lowing the celebration of the event
of inducting the newly elected offi
cers into their respective offices.
Delivering Much Corn
The farmers near Greenwood have
been very liberal since the very
near completion of the picking of
the corn crop on making deliveries.
And especially is this true with those
who were compeled to pile any
amount of corn on the ground. The
corn is in excellent condition with the
exception of their being considerable
moisture in the corn, which prevents
the obtaining of the best prices.
FILE BANKRUPTCY
Omaha The Byrne & Hammer dry
goods company of Omaha filed a vol
untary bankruptcy petition in fed
eral court Thursday afternoon. The
wholesale house recited in a brief
petition that the company owes debts
which it is unable to pay; that it is
willing to surrender all its property
for the benefit of creditors except
such as is exempt by law, and that
it will file a schedule of property and
list of creditors within ten days. It
asks immediate adjudication of bank
ruptcy. It was learned on good author
ity that assets of the company will
be found to exceed the liabilities by
$100,000. The voluntary action, it
was explained, will make possible the
greatest saving to stockholders.

W. L. Nelson
Heard in Plea for
River Ports
'Square Deal for Farmers,' Is Theme
at Last Session of Organ
ized Agriculture
Lincoln, Jan. 9. Congressman
William L. Nelson of Missouri, in an
address before the closing session of
organized agriculture here Thurs
day afternoon, advocated a govern
raent aid for construction of termin
als at river ports.
If the nation is willing to spend
$50,000,000 on opening a stream for
navigation, he urged, surely it should
be willing to make the shipping
facilities of some use.
A Democrat, a farmer and a news
paper man, congressman Nelson
poke on "A Square Deal for the
Farmer." He is now a member of
the house agriculture committee and
formerly served on the flood control
committee.
Had the same amount of effort
been spent in the last eight years in
helping the farmer as has been spent
in trying to convince him of poster
ity. Nelson asserted, much might
have been done by now towards
creating a real prosperity.
Changes Needed
Now that the farm board is in
existence, the only thing to do is
to aid it. If it proves inadequate,
the law can be wiped off and one
with teeth in it substituted.
But many other changes than
those available through the farm
board, he said, must be made. Either
the farmer must get more tariff pro
tection, or industries must have less.
He advocated the development of
Muscle Shoals and declared that
branch banking must not be encour
aged.
'Produce more efficiently was the
advice given by President M. D. Munn
of the national dairy council to mem
bers of the Nebraska Dairy Develop
ment society.
Dairymen cannot expect the pub
lic to keep increasing its consump-
ion of their products, he said, at the
prices set by inefficient methods.
Addresses 18,000
Carl E. Gray presided at the De
velopment society meeting. He said
that the society's agents had ad
dressed more than IS. 000 persons
during the year and that the organ-
zation has done much to secure pure
bred sires for dairymen in the state.
More orderly marketing of fat cat
tle, finishing younger and light
weight animals, and use of more
economical feeds were the things
that Prof. H. J. Gramlch cf the col
lege' stressed in his address to the
Improved Livestock Breeders asso
ciation.
Winners of the stock judging con
tests were announced as follows:
J. C. Adams of Lexington, first:
William Snyder of North Platte and
Mansel Phipps of Whipman, tied for

Lawyers Claim
State Banking
is Threatened
Attorneys in Filing Motion for Re
hearing on Guaranty Act See
Only One Way Out.
Upholding by the supreme court
of the Nebraska state bank guaranty
aw will mean the end of state bank
ing in the state, attorneys for state
banks declared in a motion for a re
hearing on the bank guaranty case
filed Friday with the supremo court
at Lincoln.
"If the present decision up
holding the guaranty law con
stitutional remains permanent it
will mean the nationalizing of
solvent state banks and the li
quidation of the others," Leon
ard A. Flansburg of Lincoln and
Frank H. Gaines of Omaha, at
torneys for the bankers, set forth
in their motion.
"No act of the legislature can
help now," they continued. "It
is too late. Already three as
sessments under the guaranty
law have been levied and four
more assessments will be due be
fore an act of repeal can be pass
ed." The attorneys further insisted that
an appeal to the United States sup
reme court would be Ineffective even
f favorable to the bankers because
the state banking system would have
broken down before the higher court
could act.
They further argued in their mo
tion that the conditions that existed
when the law was originally upheld
have no bearing on present conditions
They pleaded for an immediate re
hearing.
COLLEGE VIEW BANKS MERGE
Lincoln, Jan. 10. Consolidation of
the Normal State bank at College
View with the recently organized
State Bank of that place, was an
nounced Friday. Officers of the joint
institution are W. E. Barkley, presi
dent; George Frampton, vice presi
dent, and R. Unzicker, cashier.
The bank has deposits of $107.-
577, and capital stock of -25,000.
Removal of the Normal bank takis
from that former suburb what was
long known as the smallest state
bank in Nebraska. This character
istic applied solely to the dimensions
of its banking quarters which con
sisted of a tiny frame structure ot
one room.
BRAVE STORMS TO
WELCOME
RUBI0
Prescott, Aria., Jan. 10. Gather
lng from hundreds of milea around,
Mexican residents of northern Ariz
ona Friday braved a heavy snowstorm
to welcome Pascual Ortiz Rubio, Mex
ican president-elect.
Ortiz Rubio, said to be fearful of
assassins, was carrying a specially
made cane -gun, with a fur-covered
handle, according to information re
ceived from a railroad employe who
accompanied the party to the grand
canyon.
The Mexican president-elect is ac
companied by two guards, similarly
armed, it is said.
Ortiz Rubio canceled his planned
visit to the Pacific coast with the
announcement that Mrs. Ortiz Rubio's
health would not permit.
He was hurrying southward thru
Arizona to re-enter Mexico at No-
gales.
Taylor Urges
a State School
Tax be Levied
In Favor of Special Commission to
Study Revenue Problems
Facing Nebraska.
Lincoln. Jan. 9. State Supt
Charles W. Taylor made his annual
report to Governor Weaver Thursday
and again declared himself for a spec
ial state tax commission to study the
school revenue problems of Nebraska.
A state school tax should be levied,
he said, and distributed among the
districts.
He repeated a former declaration
that the $50,000 appropriated by the
legislature for state aid to weak dis
tricts under the Mallory act is inade
quate to give such districts the
amount of money allowed by that
statute.
Shortage is $35,600.
The shortage in this regard for the
biennium of 1927-1929, he said was
$35600. Either the law should be
repealed or sufficient money appro
priated to carry out its provisions.
The total sum which the state paid
for support of its common schools in
1929, Taylor reports, was $1,242,002.
Of this amount $1,019,519 was rep
resented by two regular apportion
ments, while $172,483 was alloted
from the proceeds of fines and n
censes collected and $50,000 was dla
tributed as provided by the Mallory
act.
Lists Board's Work.
The following subjects are listed
by Superintendent Taylor as out
standing elements in the educational
work of Nebraska:
Library facilities; extra qualifica
tions; certification; rural education;
adult education; normal training;
character education; physical and
health education; safety education
and financial support.
Adult immigrant education for the
foreign born was begun three years
ago on a systematic scale in a number
of communities, in accordance witn
a legislative act of 1927. On Dec. 15,
last, 63S adult immigrants were re
ceiving instruction at tho hands or
35 teachers.
The state pays the salaries of five
teachers at Omaha and one each in
Lincoln, Beatrice, Wahoo, and Gilead.
All others are paid locally. Omaha

LAUDS RECORD OF DEMOCRATS
Baltimore. Jan. 9. The demo
cratic party, responsible under the
administration of Woodrow Wilson
for establishment of the federal re
serve system, through that banking
policy saved the nation from paraly-
zation of business in the recent stock
market collapse, Jouett Shouse, exe
cutive secretary of the democratic
national committee, said Wednesday
night in an address at a Jackson
day dinner, attended by 1,000 Mary
land democratic leaders.
"Our democratic senators,
with the assistance of practically
every progressive member of the
other party, succeeded in break
ing down the conspiracy to put
over in the country the exorbi
tana, discriminatory and alto
gether outrageous Smoot-Hawley
tariff bill.
"We have raised the agricul
ture schedule to make the tariff
helpful to the farms, which is
the one seriously distressed in
dustry in the country.
"The most important feature
of the democratic tariff program
is reclamation by congress of the
authority delegated to the presi
dent, under the present flexible -tariff
law, of altering rates en
acted by congress."

League Measure
Has Defect
Attorney General Rules City Electric
Lines May Extend Fif
teen Miles.
Examination of the original bill
in the office of Secretary of State
Marsh, enacted by the last legisla
ture, for the extension of transmis
sion lines from cities of the first
class having from 5,000 to 25,000 in
habitants, discloses that the title of
the bill permits extension into rural
territory a distance of twenty-nve
miles, while the body of the bill limits
the distance to fifteen miles. Tho con
flict between title and body of the
bill is taken advantage of by any
city.
"The title of a bill can be broader
than the body of the bill, but the
body cannot be broader than the
title, so this office has ruled that the
body, providing for extension to fif
teen miles, governs," said Attorney
General Sorensen.
The bill contains provisions which
are considered unworKaoie, in tne
opinion of city officials, and few cities
are likely to attempt to work under
it. The cities of Fremont and Hast
ings are the only cities reported as
likely to enforce its provisions.
The bill is the only one of import
ance out of a long list of measures
proposed by the Nebraska League of
Municipalities, when the Nebraska
legislature met one year ago. The ex
tension into the country for the sale
of electric light Is conditioned upon
the city's entering into contracts for
electric light service with persons,
firms, corporations or associations at
rates which will produce an annual
gross revenue to the city equal to not
less than 15 per cent of the cost of
construction of the line, and the city

Governor Weaver signed this bill.
In vetoing S. F. 223, another muni
cipal league bill, he approved the
principles in II. R. No. 19 and said
the measure should have been pass
ed in its original form. The senate
bill restricted the warrant indebted
ness of cities in cases where bonds
could be voted instead of issuance of
warrants for aid of municipal plants.
The vetoed bill applied to cities of
the second class and villages.
HOOVER PLAN IS OPPOSED
Washington Opposition to Presi
dent Hoover's proposal for a Joint
congressional committee to investi
gate a proposal to concentrate the
prohibition enforcement units under
the Justice department has develop
ed among some house republican
leaders. Chairman Snell of the house
rules committee said on Thursday
night that some of the republican
leaders felt that the Joint committee
was not necessary to transfer the
prohibition enforcement united from
the treasury to the Justice depart
ment. "We prefer," Snell said, "to legis
late in the regular way; to let the
regular committees handle the trans
fer of the units."
