Chicago, 111., April 15. Indica
tions that the American village and
hamlet may be following the road to
oblivion already traveled by the
"litle red school house" and the coun
try side church are contained in re
ports available today from the 1930
census.
Figures from eight states sur
rounding the 1920 center of popula
tion on the Illinois and Indiana line
show that 92, or nearly 60 per cent
of 'he 1 ; 1 small towns counted.
suffered a reduction in population
of from 5 to 100 per cent, while
those showing increases in most
cases have added few residents, fre
quently less than the normal birth
increase.
While the total population is con
ceded to litive increased materially
since the ID 20 census, the indica
tions are that the accretions are in
larger towns and cities. In six of the
eight states, villages showing de
creases run from 62 to SO per cent
of the total tallied, but in Michigan
and Ohio only 30 per cent show de
clines.
Illinois, with the largest number
of towns reported, shows a decrease
in 62 per cent, including one hamlet
auctioned as a deserted village. Iowa
and Nebraska have a slightly higher
percentage of decreases, while Indi
ana and Minnesota have 75 per cent
and Missouri 8 0 per cent.
Motor transportation over good
roads, motion picti:res in the larger
towns and the broadened view con
veyed in farmers and villagers by
radio and daily newspapers are said
to account for the indicated shift in
population.
More modern farm houses and de
ivery of goods by rural five delivery
have caused tillers of the soil to
stay on the place rather than go to
the nearby village and has thus
caused the closing of many general
stores in the small towns. World-

The United States supreme court
has announced a decision in a cas
of the greatest interest in that sec
tion of Nebraska bordering the Mis
souri river, the test of the law of
Nebraska that prohibits the use of
nets and seines in the stream on the
Nebraska side of the river. The cap
has been followed closely here where
there are large numbers of fisher
men and who have watched the out
come of the suit brought by William
Miller of Blair to prevent the state
fiish and game department of the
state from the enforcing of the law.
In the trial of the case in the
state supreme court the court held
that the law was constitutional and
from this decision Mr. Miller car
ried the matter to the highest court
in the land.
Miller contended that as congress
has granted Nebraska and Iowa joint
jurisdiction over the Missouri river
and as the two states had not adopt
ed anv joint plan of regulating fish
ing, Nebraska was without author
ity to prohibit the taking of fish
from its sida of the river by nets.
etc., while Iowa was licensing the
use of nets, etc., on its side.
He also attacked the law because
it made the possesion of nets, traps
and seines in Nebraska illegal un
less permission had been obtained
from state authorities.
The Nebraska supreme court lus-
tained the act. holding that the
state had authority to regulate fish-
ng on that part of the river within
its boundaries.

The war department at Washing
ton has just announced the promo
tion of our state engineer, Robert
Leroy Cochran, from the grade of
major in the coast artillery reserve
corps to the grade of lieutenant col
onel in the coast artillery reserve.
Colonel Cochran commands the
507th Coast Artillery (Anti-aircraft).
This regiment is composed exclusive
ly of Nebraska and Iowa officers and
in time of war vill operate the new
ly developed robot controlled anti
pfane puns. This summer Col Coch
tan will take his regiment to Camp
Knox, Ky., for two weeks active duty
training.
Colonel Cochran's promotion has
been earned by the excellence of his
service at the army training camps
in the summer and his work as regi
mental commander of the 507th Coast
Artillery. Although above draft age,
he enlisted in the summer of 1917 in
the service for the World war, receiv
ing training at Ft. Snelling Mille
sota, and later at Ft. Monroe, Vir
ginia. On finishing his training at
Ft. Monroe, Virginia, volunteers were
asked for immediate service overseas.
He volunteered for this service and
went overseas in December 1917,
having been given the rank of First
Lieutenant at Ft. Monroe. He was
promoted to rank cf captain in the
Coast Artillery Corps during his over
seas service. Overseas he served as
captain of the 44th Coast Araillery
in action against the Germans and
also as instructor in both his regi
ment and the Officers' Training
Camp of the AEF.
On his return to the United State3
in February, 1919, and upon his dis
charge from active service, he enlist
ed in the reserve corps and has been
in the reseive corps continually ever
since.
Colonel Cochran was born on a
farm near Avoca. Nebraska, Janu
ary 2S, 1SS6. When he was six his
parents moved to a farm near Brady,
Lincoln county, Nebraska, this farm
being located near old Fort McPher
son south of Maxwell, Nebraska He
was graduated from the Brady high
school in 1906 and from the College
of Engineering, University of Nebras
ka, in 1910. The following year he
worked for the Santa Fe railroad, be
ing located at Chillicothe, Illinois.
During 1911, he returned to Ne
braska to become county engineer of
Lincoln county, which position he
held until 1915, when he became
state bridge inspector. Two years
later he was made deputy state en
gineer. He has worked continuous
ly in the state engineer's office since
April, 1915, with the exception of
the war period and a period in 1922.
On March 18, 1919, he was mar
ried to Aileen Gantt at North Platte,
Nebraska. They have two children
Mary Aileen, age 7; and Robert Le
Roy, Jr., age 5.
In March, 1919. he again returned
to his work in the Nebraska State
Department of Public Works in the
capacity of district engineer. In
March, 1923, he was appointed state
engineer and secretary of the Depart
ment of Public works in which of
fice he continues to serve the state.
Although a democrat, Mr. Cochran
has served under two republican gov
ernors as well as one democratic gov
ernor, and has in each instance been
unanimously confirmed by the legis
lature. He is a member of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, Alpha Tau
Omega college fraternity, American
Legion, Reserve Officers' Association,
and various Masonic bodies. He is an
ardent booster for adequate national
defense and for the National Defense
Act of 1920.
BLOW IS DEALT STRIKERS
Harrogate, Tenn. An injunction
forbidding aid to students on strike
at Lincoln Memorial university was
issued anil was served Monday upon
two discharged professors, their
wives and the strike leader. Granted
Monday morning by Chancellor J. H.
Wallace, at Tazewell, the injunction
named Professors M. G. Miller and
E. Van N. Diller, Clay McCarroll, ex
pelled president of the student body,
and the professors wives.
Seemingly undismayed by the
legal proceeidngs and by a renewed
warning that suspension would fol
low further "rebellion" the students
continued their activities unabated.
They said that less than fifty of
about 415 attended classes. Judge
J. II. S. Morison, acting president,
said he told them Monday that sus
pension would be the penalty for fail
ure to return to classes Tuesday.
The "dead line" thus set, will be the
sixth day of the strike called by the
students as protest against dismissal
of faculty members and as a demand
for an impartial investigation to de
termine why the school has not been
recognized as standard by southern
and national educational bodies.
1I0P.E MOISTURE RECEIVED
Good rains were received Sunday
in northwestern and parts of central
Nebraska, according to reports here.
In the Alliance vicinity the second
heavy rain in two days fell, proving
of great benefit to crops and cattle
ranges. The Burlington reported that-
in the vicinity of Hastings and Har
vard an inch and a quarter was re
ceived. Grand Island, Fairbury and
Superior had showers, according to
the Lincoln Telephone company.
President Hoover has quit shaking
hands with visitors. Perhaps too
many of them were inquisitive about
this depressed prosperity we are more
or less enjoying.
