The suit filed here Thursday by the United States against the Northern Pacific rail road involving millions of dollars and millions of acrew of land seeks to decide differences between the government and the railroad and to make a final adjustment of land grants. In the complaint the government charges that as a result of violations of legislative contracts, the carriers' right to additional lands was lost; that the road wrongfully obtained several million acres of land and that it took an unnecessarily circuit ous route thru the state of Washing ton thereby acquiring wrongfully 1,500,000 acres of land. Another government contention is that because of erroneous classifica tion the Northern I'acinc has no right to satisfaction for 2,400,000 acres of alleged mineral lands re turned to the government. Charles Donnelly, president of the railroad, authorized a statement saying the Northern Pacific agrees with the government that questions involved can only be settled in court.

In the Matter of the Application of Carl D. Ganz, Administrator C. T. A. De Bonis Non, for License to Sell Real Estate. Now on this 2nd day of August, 10 30, this cause came on to be heard on the duly verified petition of Carl D. Ganz. Administrator C. T. A. De Bonis Non of the Estate of Sarah Thimgan. deceased, praying for li cense to sell so much of the following described real estate: Lots seven, eight, nine (7, S. 9) and the South half (S) of Lot six (ID, in Block three (3), in the Village of Murdock, Cass county, Nebraska as to bring the sum of at least Seven teen Hundred Dollars ($1,700.00) for the payment of debts against the estate of said deceased and expense of administration and costs.

WATER AND DUST-PROOF ROADS HELP THE FARMER Good roads, in the opinion of Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, "have revolutionized the business of the nation, and the end is not yet." In 1904 the State and Federal frv ernmcnts spent $2,500,000 for high ways and in 1928, the last year for which complete statistics are avail able, they spent $827,000,00(, or 330 times as much. In addition, the ex penditures of counties and other local units of government reached the to tal of ?S3:,000.000. Since 1921, the annual aggregate expenditure for roads has been above $1,000,000. These are impressive figures and one might think we have all the roads we are likely to need for some time to come. But such is not the case. Out cities have been adequately pro vided with expensive streets and highways but most of the agricultur al and rural country depends on the same type of road that existed in the horse and buggy days. Five million of our 6.250,000 farmers are cut off from their markets during several months of each year by a barrier cf mud. It is a lucky fanner who is as sured of all-year contact with the outside world over water and dust proof surfaced roads. Good low - cost farmt- to - marke roads offer better economic and living conditions to our farms.

COCKERELS FOR SALE Lincoln, Neb., July 30. Nebraska candidates for non-political offi -e, justice of the supreme court, members of the board of u'niversit; rerret.ts and those who seek the office of erintendent of public instruction, fine about the same in elections as d Texas candidates for state political positions, for they must go through a "run off" contest.

After a care ful survey of the field of motion pic ture advertising, the Fox Theaters corporation, operating hurdreds cf movie houses announced today it had instructed its house manager.-:, with out decreasing thc:r advert l.-inr: ap propriations to drop all other forms of advertising and spend the money for newspaper space. The Fox company lias ;fou:i 1 newspapers the logical medium to advertise current, programs to trie notion picture public," G. S. Yorkc , director of advertising, dc-claret. He listed six reasons for this de cision. Frequently the theaters must make quick changes in programs. These can always be advertised in newspaper columns. "The newspaper columns also per mit the best use of decorative adver tising which is so essential to the advertising of our theaters. "Increased space is always avail able in newspaper columns. "Newspaper advertisement can be changed or corrected with greater dispatch, minimum cost and greater convenience. "Except in rare cases, theatrical advertisement do not have to com pete with nontheatrical copy. Newspaper advertisement can be digested at the convenience of the reader."

UNEMPLOYMENT IS STUDIED Washington William Green, pres ident of the American Federation ol Labor said Wednesday unemployment increased by one per cent in July over June. A statement issued by Green said reports from trade unions in twenty-four cities showed 21 per cent out of work as compared with 20 per cent last month. "An increase in unemployment in July is not unusual," the statement added. "Our figures for 192S showed more out of work in July than June, but this year the increase is parti cularly unfortunate, for wage earn ers already have a long period of lowered income and privation behind them. "Also, their buying power is im portant at this time when stimula tion of trade and production are es pecially needed."

Dispatches from the town, which is located in an isolated region that has poor communication facilities, said the fighting began be tween groups of young men from rival towns. A band of visitors made disparaging remark.-, to the residents. Hot words were exchanged and this quickly led to fighting with revol vers, clubs and stones. About 100 shots were fired. Many were ar rested by yolice sent from other towns. Order was restored in the evening. SAYS AL SJHTH TO RESUME ACTIVITY IN POLITIC LORD BYNG TAKES REST AFTER HEART ATTACK New York, July 29.
