Bright Lights a Menace. There was a law passed some time since in regard to the lights on an auto, one which required a lens on the lights of such refactory power that the glare would be taken out of the lights and the traveling at night on the highways be rendered the more safe. However, the bright lights continue to be used and in many cases cause accidents and much C::h Tells The Story With the beginning of November, the merchants have adopted the Cash system, and as a result we are to sell goods at a greater saving of money.

She tries to take in all that wish the service during the five school days in week. The following letter from Supt. J. H. Adee of the Consolidated School : at Eagle, tells of the reaction to this service. Eagle, Nebraska. Nov. 23, 1931. Mrs. Henry A. Toll Murdock. Nebraska Dear Mrs. Tool: At your request, I am stating our reaction in the schools toward Nutri tion work oifered by the Red Cross. The course has been oifered now for a period of eight weeks in each grade of our elementary school by the Nu trition worker of the Red Crops, Mrs. Stepp, each Tuesday and to an adult class from 2:30 to 4:30. The work has been scheduled in a large meas ure during the Hygiene period of the pupils and correlates well with the aims of the health curse. We realize that improved diet means better health and increated effici ency. Pupils and parents need to be informed that quality .f food is as important as quantity. It is more economical to properly balance a diet than to eat an improper one. Our experience seem to confirm the adage that a prophet Is without honor in his own country as the children-listen to the Nutrition worker better than to parents or teachers and are more responsive in trying to form the habit of eating the pro per foods. Even those pupils and par ents who are diet conscious often need to be reminded. To fix a habit, it is necessary that attention be cen tered upon it from time to time. This the Nutrition worker does in regard to proper food habits. As a parent, it is to be noted that our children are eating foods cheer fully which were taboo formerly with them. The consumption is that health is improved, a gain in weight is noted and a more cheerful attitude is noticeable. Personally, I can give the work my hearty approval as it carries out one of the aims of education which is health. I trust the rest of the county may be as fortunate as we have been in having the opportunity to have this work in our schools. Sincerely yours, J. H. ADEE. Mr. J. H. Adee is superintendent of the Eagle Consolidated Schools. SEED MARKET HIGHER Anyone having Clover or Timothy seed to sell, mail sample for offer.

HOWARD DEATH Grand Island News of the death in Boston of Clarence M. Howard came as a shock to old residents of Grand Island, many of whom were friends of his family. He spent his boyhood here and began his business career here. Blake Clinton Howard. Clarence's father, was a master mechanic in the Union Pacific car shops here for many years, and became closely identified with the community. He was inter ested in civic affairs, and because of his sei fice as a member of the school board of education, Howard school and Howard street were named after him. Clarence's paternal ancestors set tled in this country in 1634 and were Presbyterian in religious faith. His mother belonged to an old American family and among her distant rela tives was President Grover Cleve land.

So, don't miss it! Come to Plattsmouth Family Quarrel of Republicans Not Yet Settled Ranks Divided in Congress, While Democrats Put Up United Front Westerners Fight Moses Washington Republican forces divided before a united democratic front as congress went to work after receiving President Hoover's program for steadying government finances and speeding prosperity. First roll calls in both house and senate show ed the republican independents from the northwest kicking up their heels in the faces of regular administration forces. Standing together the house democratic majority scored a victory. The senate democratic minority held ranks and got a stalemate. The house vote made it possible for 145 members to bring a bill up for decision. A vote on prohibition probably will result. The new rules, sponsored by the democrats, won by 227 to 194 with 11 republican inde At these prices every income is big enough to afford chic The 1 93 1 coats for winter are characterized by wider holes, slim fit below the to the sleeve, a straighter silhouette, a wider wrap, two inch longer skirt, new materials, colors, luxurious furs.

It was a more personal affair in the senate, where the three roll calls were on the selection of a president pro tempore. Twelve republicans from the northwest bolted the party's candidate, Moses of New Hampshire. Senate democrats lined up solidly behind their candidate, Pittnian of Nevada, and sat back to aait a set tlement of the republican family quarrel. More votes will be taken Wednesday, but no decision is in prospect. Meanwhile Moses is still president pro tem "very still," an.l one of his close friends put it. He is saying nothing. Putting Hands to Wheel. But even as these routine neces sities of organization were permit ting the new congress to get off some of its recess steam, the legislators were putting their hands to the wheels for grinding out Presidential recommendations. The administration group lu.p?s for early action on the president's proposal for authorization of a gi gantic credit corporation to bolster up the emergency 500 million volun tary pool formed last fall. Bills to bring this about were introduced promptly. Democrats in the house hastened to organize the important appropria tions committee charged with fixing the funds for carrying on the govern ment next year. Representative Byrns of Tennessee, the democratic chairman, announced first consider ation would be given to the request by Mr. Hoover for an additional 200 millions to meet demands for loans on the soldiers' bonus insurance cer tificates. - The outcome of the senate vote cn president pro tem is clouded in considerable doubt. Despite the per sonal touch of the contest no bitter ness was displayed by the member ship. Senator Robinson, democratic leader, smiled as he called for the election of a president. Senator Wat son, republican, smiled too, as he nominated Moses, against whom the fight was directed. Senator Norris smiled and the senate smiled with him as he asked if a vote could be cast for any candidate without nom inating him. Moses smiled as he heard one after another of the "sons of the wild jackass" vote against him. State Journal.
