Under the provisions of the new
st.it e motor vehicle law that becomes
In lores on and alter August 3rd of
this year, the school children from
fourteen to sixteen who reside at a
distance of more than a mile and a
hair from the school, may secure a
permit to drive a motor vehicle to
take them to and from the school.
The permit which the new law
gives is that the children drive over
the nearest and most direct route
from their home to the school and re
turn and does not give them general
driving privileges as is covered un
der the state drivers l'cense law. It
relieves a very complicated condition
that was occasioned under the for
mer law. There are a great many of
the young people residing in the
c tin try districts that attend the
higher grades or high schools in the
various towns and those who were
below the required sixteen years it
made necessary the parents or older
'brothers and sisters driving in with
'them and return each day, taking
i much time from the work of the
I farms.
The applications for the permits
for the young people from fourteen
I to sixteen to drive must be signed
by the parent or guardian of :he ap-
plicant.
Another provision of the new naw
j relates to truck registration and has
been tolloweu with a great deal or
interest by the truck owners of the
state.
Changes in registration effects only
trucks, and every person wishing to
transfer or makes a new purchase
before January 1 will be obliged to
fill out an application stating wheth
er he wants a commercial, local or
farm truck license. These who are
operating trucks at the present time
will be permitted to continue thre
out the year on present basis of regis
tration" but must fill out application
blank designating which form of li
cense is desired for the coming year.
Persons applying for a local truck
license will have to certify that the
truck will be operated wholly and ex
clusively within the corporate limits
of the city or village, or within Three
milt's of said limits.
For r Commercial truck the appli
cant certifies that the truck will be
operated wholly upon the highways
of Nebraska with a load not to ex
ceed a certain weight.
For a Farm license the applicant
must certify that the truck will be
used exclusively to carry supplies to

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The subject of the Lesson-Sermon
read at all Christian Science church
es and societies on Sunday. July 26,
was "Truth." The Object of the ci
tations read is to turn the atteini m
away from any attempt to Identify
God as a corporeal being, and to fix
it on the unchangeable, ever-depei. : -ent
qualities of divine Principle,
whom the Bible refers to as Truth,
which name is used interchangeably
with several other synonyms for God.
One of the selections read from
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures'' by Mary Baker Eddy (p.
.'522 i. is as follows: "Vhen under
standing changes the standpoints of
life and intelligence from a mater
ial to a spiritual basis, we shall gain
the reality of Life, the control of
Soul ov r sense, and we shall per
ceive Christianity, or Truth, in Its di
vine Principle." One of the Biblical
selections read is in part, "He is the
ttie nome of her eldest daughter, Rock, his wovk is perfect: for all Hi

There is no slack business period
for the merchant who advertises his
Toorie the year 'round.
Billie Ash, the veteran threshing
machine man and corn shelter of
hear Man lay Saturday completed the
threshing at the home of Harry Doty,
this after he had completed the run
of the crew and district near and
about Manley, being the first one
to finish his quota of threshing in
( ass county, while there were oth
ers pounding away after the work
had all been done by Billie Ash. In
cident to this is the long line of years
which this gentleman has been en-
gaged in this business. He first start
ed as a thresher for the farmers of
( ass county in 1884. Then he had
a horse power, and a long straw
stacker, and when it required from
four to six men on the straw pipe, a
band cutter and a feeder after the
bands were cut. After a few years
the horse power was discarded and a
steam engine invoked, and only a
short time afterwards were the tumb
ling rods discarded and the long two
hundred foot belt installed instead.
Then came the elevator to deposit
the grain in the wagon instead of
having to run it into a half with
from two to three men to empty the
grain into the wagon or more if it
was to be sacked. Then a measuring
attachment was invented and as the
grain was threshed it was measured
and a record kept. Mr. Ash has had
many machines and at the best times
in the threshing business he operated
five different and distinct outfits.
Then it took all fall and sometimes
away into the winter to get the work
done. Now three weeks is the long
est and mostly not that long. The
charges have varied, with the fur
nishing of coal by the farmer and
later gasoline and oil for the tractor.-.
When the power engines first
tame into use they were not used to
draw the machines which had to be
pulled by horses. Now the truck is
supplanting the horses for the haul
ing of grain to the bins and elevators.
In the other days the old horse pow
er in the morning sounded a clarion
call for the beginning of the shell-in-:
of the corn, now the power is a
tractor of a gas engine.
Mr. Ash has three outfits for shell
ing corn and they were busy a good
portion of the winter.

Herman E. Pankonin, a dis
tinguished and highly esteemed resi
dent of Louisville for many years,
was discovered dead at the family
home in that city late Sunday even
ing, the death being quite sudden
and being a great shock to the fam
ily and the entire community. While
he had been seriously ill in the
fining months from heart weakness,
he was around as usual on Sunday
and looking after small tasks around
the home. He was missed by Mrs.
Pankonin In the atternoon. but as he
was accustomed to making trips
around town and in the country on
business, nothing was thought of the
matter until toward evening, when
alarmed, Mrs. Pankonin called her
sons, C. J. and William Pankonin
and a search was made for the fath
er, he being found later in one of
the buildings on the premises which
was seldom used and where the wife
had not thought of looking.
The deceased was born August 28,
1S57 In Germany and came to Amer
ica when he was fourteen years of
age. locating at Kalamazoo, Mich
igan, until he was thirty-one when
he came to Nebraska and has lived
in the Louisville community since
that time. On January 17, 1884 he
was married to Miss Mary uaenle, a
daughter of one o fthe pioneer fam
ilies of Louisville. They have made
heir home since marriage in and
near Lousville. Mr. Pankonin was
very active in the community life,
serving as mayor of Louisville at the
time ot the flood in 1923 which did
thousands of dollars of damage. He
has been a member of the school and
town boards as well as serving as
an officer of the Home State bank
and the Farmers Elevator Co.
He is survived by the widow, two
sons, C. J. and William Pankonin of

Damage Is Heavy.
A firebug traveling westward
over he Lincoln highway in an auto
mobile equipped with a blazing red
spotlight was being hunted in west
ern Nebraska today after he had left
a trail of fire and destitution in at
least four Nebraska towns.
Lumber yard fires Monday night
:ind early Tuesday in Lexington, Co
zad and Gothenburg, causing damage
estimated at 140 thousand dollars are
attributed to the pyromaniac and of
ficials are of the opinion that he also
is to blame for the 75 thousand dol
lar fire which destroyed the Luehrs
Christensen lumber yard at Fremont
Sunday night.
The first was discovered - at the
Fheldon & Sheldon Lumber yard at
Lexington about 10:30 p. m. The
fire truck from Cozad. the next town
west, was called to aid in fighting
the flames and soon after the Cozad
Iremen arrived in Lexington, flam m
broke out in the Sheldon & Sheldon
vaids in Cozad. The loss at Lexing
ton was about 7 5 thousand dollars
and at Cozad 40 thousand dollars.
While firemen of the two towns,
then augmented by the department
from Gothenburg, combined to com
bat the flames at Cozad. M. D. Mor
ris, manager of the telephone ex
change at Gothenburg 'phoned that
the Community Lumber & Supply
Co., at Gothenburg was afire.
The three departments brought
the Cozad fire under control and
hurred on to Gothenburg. The loss
there was about 25 thousand dollars.
Morris, in the meantime, suspect
ing the three fires already started
were the work of a firebug, tele
phoned an alarm to towns on further
west to be on guard. Soon after the
Gothenburg fire broke out, Morris
learned a light auto with a brilliant
ied spotlight sped out of town, head
ed west. The same car also was re
ported earlier along the highway east
and Morris believes this was the car
ued by the firebug.
More colleges are making the study
of Greek and Latin optional. That is
l to say, they are putting them on par

with English.
