The judges of the event at the conclusion a wanted the first place to Herbert Oehlerking, shucking 1803 pounds, or close to 25 and 5-7 bush els cf corn, a coed record.

J. Lorcnz, who for the past fourteen years has been making his home on his farm near Blount, South Dakota, arrived here Friday for a visit with hi3 brothers, L. W. and E. A. Lorenz. Mr. Lcrenz came here in 1901 with hi3 brother Emil, to establish the present successful groc cry and meat market of Lorenz Brothers. He later sold his interest to his brother, L. W. Lorenz, and re moved to Butler county, where he was engaged in merchandise business over a period of several years. Fol lowing the death of his wife Mr. Lorenz moved to a farm in South Da kota and since that time has resided In that locality. The past week he has sold hi3 farm equipment and leased his farm for the coming year. He states that the farmers of hi3 section were badly affected by the drouth of 1931 and which has, with the low prices of the farmer's crops this year, made it a hard matter for the farmers to hold their places. Corn, Mr. Lorenz states, was selling at three cents a bushel in his local ity. He will visit here for a short time with his brothers and their families and expects to later go to California-where he will spend some time and may decide to locate.

DAVIS Exclusive Agent Missouri Pacific to Fight Order on Brakeman-Porter Railroad Starts Action to Eestraia Commission as Well as Of ficers cf State. The Missouri Tacific filed suit in federal court at Omaha Wednesday to restrain county and state officials from criminal prosecutions against the railroad fcr not employing a bral&eman on trains. At present a Negro "brakeman and porter" per forms the brakeman's duties. The porter-brakeman is paid $120 a month; a brakeman wouia cosi two hundred dollars a month. J. F. Moredick, representing the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, was sustained by the state railway ommission October 13 when he com plained against tho practice. The commission, after dismissing his complaint twice, held this time that on the Missouri Pacific'3 two Kansas City trains the Negro brake-man- porter arrangement violates the state law, and makes tho railroad liable to criminal prosecution. The law requires a train crew to be made up of five men, one a brake man. The Missouri Pacifio uses five men, one a brakeman-porter, whose duties as porter are "negligible in volume," the petition states. The railroad contends that the state commission has no jurisdiction in the matter, since the trains involv ed are interstate, and argues that it is made liable to financial loss in th- ruling. Tho difference in sal aries if the change were made would increase Its expense $6,700 a year, it says, "reflecting" a gross loss of 125 thousand dollars. If the road were prosecuted on every train move ment involved the maximum fines would amount to $1,460,000 in a year, the petition states. attorney General Sorensen, mem ber of tho state railway commission and also the peace officers of the counties cf the state which includes Cass, Douglas, Otoe, Nemaha, Rich ardson, Sarpy, Lancaster counties, are made defendants in .the suit to Invalidate the commission order. Tho railroad charges that More dick's purpose Is to force from the train crews Negro brakemen-porters who have been thu3 employed for 10 years. It quotes the railway com mission opinion a3 saying that al though a Negro brakeman-porter's "race and color disqualify him for holding the position of brakeman, he is capable of performing all these duties and ha9 passed the same ex aminations required of one wlio bears the title of brakeman." POSTPONE MEETING The October meeting of the My nard community club will be post poned until Friday evening, Novem ber 4th. All persons are urged to note the change In meeting.
