While the treasury department in Washington is wrestling with mighty financial problems, Secretary Wallace of the agricultural department is al so busy with the preparation of a new farm aid plan that congress will be asked to enact at the special ses sion opening at noon today, as soon as it can dispose of emergency finan cial legislation. Leaders of farm organizations are asked to confer with Secretary Wal lace tomorrow. The new secretary 13 anxous to make the plan effective for this year's crop, which will require speedy action as planting begins in many sections March 15th. What New Plan Provides Wallace was reluctant to discuss the framework of the new plan, oth er than to admit that It "is to pro vide for an orderly retreat from pro duction of land now devoted to cot ton, wheat and corn." He said It would be a "modification of the al lotment plan and will involve rent ing of lands devoted to surplus pro duction." From other sources it was learned details of the plan have been worked out by Wallace and Dr. Rex ford Tugwell, new assistant secretary of agriculture, and that President Roosevelt has approved the principle of the measure. From the allotment scheme the new proposal will take the plan for having the secretary of agriculture determine at the beginning of the crop year the acreages of wheat, cot ton and corn needed to fill domestic need3. The corn estimate would be figured in terms of pork require ments. A possibility exists that to bacco would be added to the list of commodities. After this, quotas of lands to be removed from production would be figured for every state, county and township. The government would then call for bids from farmers in which they would set forth the lowest price acceptable for removing areas from crop production. Then, the government would con tract to lease and retire from pro duction the lands not needed to fill domestic needs. One reason for haste is that the expense per acre would be increased if bids were not called for until after plowing, planting and ether farm expense had been incur red. In short, if the plan is to be invoked thi3 year, almost immediate action will be necessary. How Financed How the funds would be raised to ineet the rental cost has not been definitely determined. Some farm leaders suggest that the revenue raising method proposed in the allotment plan be employed a tax on processors. Because cf the op position of processors millers, pack ers, cotton mills some backers of the plan favor payment of the rental cost out of the federal treasury. NOTICE OF SCHOOL DIST.

Boasts ills A Diuretic For the Kidneys Ex-Kaiser Has Given Up Hope for the Crown Seeks Only to Return to Germany to Spend His Declining Days in Home Land. London, March 8. Any prospect of former Kaiser Willi elm seeking to regain tho throne of imperial Ger many as a result of recent events there was stated today to have van ished through the former sovereign's act. If the London Daily Mail's corre spondent ai Doom, Holland, i.3 accur ately informed, Wilhelm Hohenzol- lem has completely and voluntarily abandoned the aim with which he has often been credited of again wield ing power over his own people. Instead, he is reported seeking per mission to spend his declining years in the privacy of his castle at Hom burg vor der llohe, the famous min eral spring resort in Hesse-Xassau. He was 74 years old in January. This request to return to Germany was said to be the special mission undertaken by his second wife, Prin cess Hermine, when she recently went to Berlin from their residence in exile Doom. She was reported seeking sanction of the scheme from the new powers in Germany. Any anxiety the ex-kaiser may have felt concerning the attitude of his sons toward his abandonment cf claims to the throne were reportedly removed by a. kind of confirmatory document of abdication. At a recent family council in Doom, the sons were reported to have turned over all their "rights" , to the throne to the ex-crown prince for his disposal. Before his fight across the Dutch border November IS, 1918, tho ex kaiser announced his abdication as emperor but not as king of Prussia. A decree of the German republic for bidding his return was discarded more than a year ago. The latest German movement for restoration of the throne, however. does liot involve him. Berlin reports said the plan now is to have his grandson, 26-ycar-old Wilhelm Fried rich, become emperor after a period during which the latter's father, the ex-crown prince, would be regent.

I 1 nn I &r I Tut Railway Taxa tion on Net Earn ings is Sought Proposed to Railway Commission in Order to Save the Coburn Wynot Branch. Taxation on the basis of net earn ings instead of physical valuation was proposed Tuesday in an attempt to svae the forty-five mile Coburri Wynot branch of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway. Railway Commissioner Drake said E. C. Bundell, general manager of the B. & O. lines in Nebraska, would submit the proposal to higher offi cials of his road as a result of a con ference with the state railway com mission recently authorized its aban donment. DrUke said It was proposed in this manner to relieve the railroad of its tax burden, now about $17,000 an nually on the branch, and by permit ting it to operate trains only when there is sufficient business to war rant, reducing operating expenses The theory was, he said, that in this way it would cease to be a burden on interstate commerce and the road might be saved. If the proposal is not accepted, Drake said the Nebraska commission probably would go into federal court to enjoin abandonment of the line in a further atempt to -save it for the affected territory. Draka said this course would be followed rather than an appeal from the I. C. C, as a stronger case would be presented on the ground of necessity of the line. The proposal Blundell carries, Drake admitted, might prove to be a step toward a radical reduction of railroad taxes. He expressed the oe lief it was justified under the cir cumstances. "They are ready to remove the road and if they do so, there would be no taxes," Drake said. "It would be better to prevent taking the line out and keep the road going so that territory can be served on its heavy commodities which can's bemoved oy truck." Federal Job Hunters Pushed Aside for Time President Roosevelt Has More Im portant Duties to Attend to for the Time Being. Washington. The national emer gency has forced and permitted Presi dent Roosevelt to sidetrack the par ade of democratic job hunters. A rather steady line marches in and out of the white house executive of fice, but it is shunted aside, neces sarily, from the president's room to other trusted leaders in the new gov ernment, including Jame3 A. Farley, the new postmaster general and party chairman; Louis M. Howe, political secretary to Roosevelt, and Marvin H. Mclntyre, another secretary. With the government manned al ready in key positions by the demo cratic lieutenants of Mr. Roosevelt, it is unlikely he will fill any other places much before a week or ten days. The one exception is a comp troller of the currency. He is looking for this man. So, the democratic speculation con tinues apace. The name of Robert M. Gore of Chicago and Florida stands at the top of those in line for com missioner of internal revenue. lie is liked by Farley. Angus W. McLean, former governor of North Carolina, who has been mentioned for this place, is regarded as a possibilty for governor of the federal reserve board or membership on it. W. Forbes Mor gan of New York, another of the Roosevelt political family, is down on the books for assistant secretary of commerce. The highly prized diplomatic corps posts are destined to be laid aside for a while, also, as the president gives full attention to the domestic economic crisis. Nevertheless, Rob ert W. Bingham, Louisville publiher, is destined to go to the premier post in London. Jessie I. Straus of New York, appeared certain for the im portant Cuban ambassadorship. The name of Ira Nelson Morris, former minister to Sweden, is believed under serious consideration for Berlin. Some Impatient members of con gress already are . knocking at the Roosevelt door with patronage peti tions ,but they are not able to get any farther Just now than the aver age Job hunter. State Journal. Plattsmouth stores offer every shopping advantage of the larger city, plus a personal contact be tween buyer and seller that means far more than tho "opportunity of choosing from an extra shade or two of pink." Alvo News Grover Rhoden, of Manley, who is the representative of the W. T. Raw leigh company was looking after business in this portion of the coun ty on last Thursday. Miss Annalee Lancaster, daughter of Mrs. Vera Lancaster, has been quite ill for the past week and while she is still far from well, Is some what improved at this time.

Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Barkhurst and their daughter, Miss Velma, were over to Nebraska City on Thursday of last week, where they were visit ing with friend3 and relatives for the day. Miss Glena Jewell, daughter of Mr and Mrs. C. W. Jewell, who has been employed in Lincoln, on account of the slackness of work, returned to the home of her parents here, and will remain here for the present. W. II. Warner, who is best known as Billie, has been feeling rather poorly, but nevertheless, considering his many years, he would not give up, but has kept going and getting about seeing his many friends. The Alvo Reading club will meet this week at the home of Mrs. Sam Jourdan, where they will have a most interesting program as well as a sociable time. Let all the mem bers try and be out for this meet ing. Mrs. John Skinner and Mrs. Chas. Kirkpatrick, both feeling rather poorly, were over to the doctor's of fice at Elmwood one day last week, where they went to consult with the doctor regarding their respective ail ments. While at his work, W. M. Fairfield had the misfortune to fall and sus tained two fractured ribs, which have proven very painful, keeping this gentleman from his usual activities until the injured members shall be come healed. The Missionary meeting of the ladies of the Methodist church was held on last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Emma Jourdan, where all en joyed the time most pleasantly and later were served a very delightful Juncheoh by the hostess.

Mr. Sherman is a soldier and is lo cated at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mrs. P. Kahler has been very Elck at her home in Alvo for some time and is at this time being cared for by her friend, Mrs. Joseph Arm strong. Mrs. Kahler's many friends are hoping that she may soon be able to be about again. Because the bank moratorium has I ate Ladies Toggery Shop of Personal Ssrvics made cash mighty scarce and pre vented the cashing of checks, the Eales of Alva Skinner, set for March 7th, and John Gerdes, also to have been held last week, were postponed to later dates, yet to be selected. Mr3. E. L. Nelson has been quite poorly for the past week, and while she has been able the greater part of the time to be up and about, she was net well enough to assist with the work at the store and John Woods was assisting Mr. Nelson with the work. Reflect Public Sentiment There has been something over a hundred signers on a petition which was circulated in Alvo asking the state legislature to abolish the office of County Agent, they believing there was too much expenditure for the amount of good the office was doing the farming community. Kanaged to Celebrate, Anyhow March 7th being the birthday of Misses Dorothea and Dorris Coatman, as well as their brother, Phillip, they had in mind the celebration of the day properly. Phillip was in Hcnolula, where he is presumed to have looked after the proper observ ance of the day. Miss Dorothea be ing at heme was expecting to be joined by her sister, Miss Dorris, who is the instructor at the Bushberry school, but with an abundance of snow on the ground and traveling not any too good, she was not able to get home, so remained at her boarding place at the home cf Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stout, while Doro thea went to Lincoln and attended a picture show, thus celebrating for all.
