In the mix-up the scoop was thrown up against the wagon, edge up, in Euch manner that it caught his nose and cut the end nearly off. A doctor was called and it required four stitches to get the nose back in place. The injured member is get ting along very well, but is still very sore, although showing signs of heal ing. Hagood Wants Stop to Army's Red Tape Declares Many Eureaus of Service Could be Dispensed With No 'Tig Ecreans" Needed Kansas City, Mo., April 5. Term ing the United States army as "top heavy and extravagant," Major Gen eral Johnson Hagood expressed the hope President Roosevelt would slash away the red tape and get rid of overlapping bureaus. The command ing general of the Seventh corps area, with headquarters at Fort Omaha, used pungent language in calling for economy in army affairs. What the country doesn't need, he said, is "another big bureau in Wash ington" a consolidation of the army and navy in one department of na tional defense with separate land, sea and air forces. "Like every other deoartment of the government, it (the army) is top heavy and extra va gant," said the veteran regular army officer. "It needs close trimming to make it fit the pocketbook of the man without a job. It takes 300 millions to run the army under its present or ganisation. We can get a better or ganization for less. "So far as the army is concerned. we have too many bureaus already and we could spare six or eight of them with advantage to the national defense and to the joy of the taxpay er. There is no duplication between the army and the navy. But there is a duplication within the army and it is to be hoped that the president, with his extraordinary power will be able to accomplish a consolidation and simplication within the army it- seir that could not nave been ac complished with the complicated ma chinery set up by congress." Declaring the army is "overstaff ed," Major General Hagood said: "I have twice as many staff officers, clerks and orderlies as I need, but I cannot get rid of them under the ex isting set-up." He said the army for fifty years had been using a training system "based upon a three year reg ular army soldier when we should have had a sj'stem based upon a ten day draft replacement." In ten days, he eaid, a private soldier could be trained for work in the battle line. "He may not be able to compete with a follies girl in making a snap py Ealute," General Hagood contin ued, "but he will at least be able to shoot as well as a bootleg gangster." SAYS EES. JTJDD 13 T.TATi Florence, Ariz. With death on the gnllows in tv.o weeks confront ing her, Winnie Ruth Judd is go ing mad, Warden A. G. Walker of the state prison said. Tho warden is the only person empowered to grant a sanity hear ing. Altho declaring the "blonde tigress" is losing her mind, he said he had not yet determined upon a hearing. It is illegal to Lang an in sane person in Arizona. "The pris oner talks continuously of killing herself," Walker said. "But we are taking every precaution. Three mat rons are guarding her and watching her every move." BOY FALLS UNDER ENGINE Columbus, Neb. Edward C. Tom- check, 18, of Newton, Wis., fell be neath the whsels of a switch engine in the railroad yards here and waE killed almost instantly. With hi3 brother, Al J. Tomckeck, 25, he was en route to Pueblo, Colo. They rode a Union Pacific train here from Omaha and were put off by a Banking Reform easure is Soon to be Launched Joint Work by House and Senate Chairmen, With. Adminis tration Assent. Washington. Bearing tacit ad ministration approval of its principle, a sweeping bank reform measure based on the Glass banking bill and provided for a 2 .billion dollar cor poration to guarantee federal reserve member bank deposits 100 percent will be submitted to congress next week. Announcement of the pro posal was made by Chairman Stea gall, cf the house banking commit tee, after a conference with President Roosevelt. Even as he spoke a sen ate banking sub-committee was ten tatively drafting the measure, which will be sponsored jointly by Senator wacioo anil lu Aiuuauia uci.iuv.1 a.. . You may say," Steagall said, "that the proposal's principle is un derstood to have the approval of the administration. This bill is not in any sense a government guarantee plan," he added, explaining that the cororation would be formed with an initial capital of 500 millions along the ine of Senator Glass' proposal which died in the last congress. His bill called for the creation of a cor poration for the liquidation of the closed banks. As in the Steagall guarantee bank deposit bill that passed the house and failed in the senate in the last congress, the initial capital of 500 millions would be raised by requiring federal reserve banks to subscribe 150 millions of their surplus, while the treasury paid 150 millions, rep resenting a part of the earnings of the federal reserve banks paid in lieu of franchise taxes. The remain ing 200 millions would come from a levy of one-fourth of 1 percent on de posits in federal reserve banks. Steagall explainted that while he and Glass were agree din principle, there were many provisions still un settled, particularly relating to branch banking. He indicated that the wishes of President Roosevelt will be sought. "Senator Glass and I have been in conference several weeks consid ering a banking bill, which has been agreed upon in principle but not all details," Steagall said. "It will em brace substantially the provisions of the Glass banking bill as passed by the senate in the last congress and which failed to pass in the house. It will have regulatory provisions: separate affiliates from banks in about two years, and will separate investment banking from commercial banks. It will require a higher mini mum capital for national banks, in creasing it from ?25.000 to 550,000. It will provide for dsimissal of bank officials who for any cause are found unfit to serve. Steagall said the measure also would embrace a plan for the guar antea of bank deposits along the lines of his own earlier bill. "The guarantee plan," he said, "sets up machinery along the lines of the provisions of the Glass bill es tablishing a corporation for liquid ation of closed banks. The corpor ation will be authorized to expand by issuance of obligations, so as to create a potential sum of 2 billions. It would sell its obligations to the public. It would be empowered to loan to closed banks and otherwise assist them." State Journal. WAIT NEW MORTGAGE BILL Washington. Chairman Steagall of the house banking committee pre dicted to newspapermen after a call at the white house that the admin istration's bill for mortgage relief for small home owners would be in troduced Monday in the house. The bill probably will follow the general outline cf President Roosevelt's plan for alleviating the burden of farm mortgage indebtedness. In the sen ate, democratic leaders began the final work on the bill to aid urban home owners. Details were withheld, but it was understood the measure would limit the value cf homes to be leaned on to $20,000. The measure was understood to contemplate the use of the existing home loan bank system as distributing agencies. SAYS CHILDREN ATHEISTS Omaha. Dr. Fred Morrow Fling of the University of Nebraska assert ed in a lecture here that "We in America hsvs unconsciously been making atheists of our children, just as Russia has been consciously with bers." He deplored the emphasis placed upon natural science in the rchooU. In advocating the study of religion as a part of America's edu cational system, he denied it should lbs taught a3 dogma or theology. ViV --u S) -i-tit, 4 3 (MRUS big help to BOWELS What a joy to have the bowels move like clockwork, every day! It's easy, if you mind these simple rules of a famous old doctor: 1. Drink a big tumblerLql of water before breakfast, and several times a day. 2. Get plenty of outdoor exercise without unduly fatiguing your self. 3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly the same hour every day. Everyone's bowels need help at times, but the thing to use is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. You'll get a thorough cleaning-out, and it won't leave your insides weak and watery. This family doctor's prescription is just fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin, and other helpful ingredients that couldn't hurt a child. But how it wakes up those lazy bowels!

Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN A Doctor Family Laxative Bluffs Frees Two Seized Beer Trucks Assistant Attorney Generals Rule Po lice Can't Halt Shipment from St. Joseph, Mo. Council Bluffs, April 7. Council Bluffs police seized their first ship ment of the new 3.2 percent beer Fri day morning and released it Friday afternoon. Two trucks loaded with 600 cases of beer bound from the Goetz brew ery at St. Joseph, Mo., to the Mar shall Fruit Co. at Marshall, Minn., were seized by Traffic Patrolmen Harry Saint and Charles McTwigan at East Broadway and Locust Lodge. They arrested - the- drivers, I. C Strasburg of Hartfwlck, Minn., and Charles Bartlow. of Marshall, and Jame3 Dugan, of Ilardwick, a pas senger, and charged them with il legal transportation of liquor, in vio lation of the Iowa state prohibition law. The trucks were driven to the city jail, thence to the courthouse, and thence to a Council Bluffs garage, where they were laboriously unload ed under guard of deputy sheriffs. Rule Against Seizure. Then, Friday afternoon, Robert Organ, county attorney, in compli ance with an opinion from the attor ney general's office" at Des Moines, ruled that Council Bluffs police had no right to seize a sealed shipment from Missouri, a state in which beer is legal, to Minnesota, another wet state. Assistant Attorney Gen. LeRoy A Rader said he had suggested to Coun cil -Bluffs authorities that the matter be dropped. An opinion by three as sistants in the attorney general's of fice follows: "In answer to many inquiries concerning the interstate ship ments of 3.2 per cent alcoholic liquor through, over and across the state of Iowa, this depart ment is of the opinion that the Webb-Kenyon law does not pro hibit such interstate transpor tation and that the statutes of the state of Iowa do not and can not interfere with inter state commerce and do not con trol a3 to interstate shipments. "Assistant Attorney Generals L. W. Powers, C. E. Walters, LeRoy A. Rader." The trucks were reloaded again being carefully checked against the bill3 of lading the drivers released and the shipment continued on its way. Goetz Opinion Upheld. The action upheld an opinion from W. L. Ooetz, president of the Goetz Brewing Co. at St. Joseph, that the shipment was perfectly legal, based on tho findings of counsel for the American Brewera association, of which he is president. "We have opinions that we have a right make a bona fide shipment of beer through a dry state," he Baid. "That shipment was sealed and perfectly legal in every way. I do not know on what theory the arrest was made. The company to which that beer was consigned is a re putable firm of . long standing." The opinion of the Iowa attorney general's office was that shipments of beer across the state in interstate commerce were legal, but there might be come cause for action if. trucks or other carriers handling the beer were not licensed in interstate commerce.

For further information inquire at the Farm Bu reau office. 7000 Trees Ordered. Farm and homeowners in Cass county have ordered over 7,000 seed ling trees through the Farm Bureau office this spring. This number com poses 2100 Chinese elm, 1400 Aus trian pine, 800 Russian olive, S00 Scotch pine, 400 green ash, 400 Rus sian mulberry, 500 eastern white pine, 100 caragana, 100 jack pine, 200 yellow pine, 200 catalpa, 200 cottonwood, 100 soft maple, and 100 American elm. These trees are available, with the exception of jack pine and Russian olive of which the supply is exhaust ed, under the Clarke-McNary con gressional act and are distributed for one cent each which covers the pack ing and shipping charges. These trees will probably be shipped from the Nebraska national forest at Hal sey, Nebraska and from Btorage in Fremont, beginning the first week in April. Persons getting the trees should place the roots in a bucket of water or thin mud as soon as possible after they are received. A few minutes exposure to the direct sun and wind will often damage the tender roots The trees should be planted from the bucket. Applications will con tinue to be received at the Farm Eureau office until April 15th. Cheddar Cheese from Surplus Milk The steps involved in converting sweet whole milk into Cheddar cheese, were demonstrated to a group of 23 womenfi of the Nehawka vicinity last week. The majority of these women have a surplus of miik during April, May and June and the making of cheddar cheese offers a means of conserving for later use, milk which otherwise might be wasted. A large kettle or boiler, a ther mometer, a home made drain rack and homemade press or lard press is all the equipment necessary for mak ing this cheese. Anyone interested in cheese mak ing can receive detailed Information by calling at the Farm Bureau office and securing a copy of Extension Cir cular924. Ground Corn Cobs for Chick Litter.

Certified Nebraska 21 oats and Tall Type Comfort Barley are avail able in the county. Both of these varieties are free of all weed seed and are a pure variety. 2They out yield the common varieties of these grains from 5 to 15 per cent. If you wish to buy or trade feed grains for these certified varieties call or write the Farm Bureau office for Infor mation. A few farmers in the county have Krugs yellow dent seed corn for sale this year. The original seed was put out through the Farm Bureau office in order to get the variety started in the county. This variety of yel low dent has been an outstanding high yielding variety in the plots Jor four years. - 10 Cent Corn 9 Dollar Coal Tests at the College of Agriculture engineering department show that $9.00 Franklin county, Illinois bitu minous coal is equal to ear corn at per bushel in actual heat value.

Washington. A move to reconsid er the- thirty-hour work week till because imported products were ex cluded from its drastic terms was made in the senate simultaneously with introduction of another meas ure by Senator Black, Alabama, to establish a six-hour day for railroads. Senator Trammel, Florida, entered a motion to reconsider Thursday's vote of 53 to 30 whereby the senate pass ed Black's bill for a five-day week and a six-hour day for labor in manufacturing industries. Trammel later told newspapermen he had sev eral amendments to offer, one of which would extend to imported products the ban against interstate shipments of industrial articles pro duced by labor working longer than the prescribed time. Opponents of this amendment claimed it would be a virtual em bargo against foreign' manufactured articles, as hardly any foreign coun try employs the thirty-hour week. "I don't like the idea," Trammell said, "of a bill saying to the people at home they shall not be allowed to ship in interstate commerce un der restrictions and then leave the door wide open to foreign-made goods without restriction." Trammell said he would call up his motion next Tuesday, thus holding the bill in the senate at least that long. "There is a lot of dynamite In that bill," the Illinois democrat said. There are a lot of complications. They must be considered. There is the question of constitutionality which might be submitted to the judiciary committee." The house bill contains an Import ban similar to that of articles de- Eired by Trammell. Asked if this pro vision would not reduce imports from 90 to 95 percent, Raincy replied: "I suppose it would. That i3 another complication." 'Would this not interfere with President Roosevelt's negotiations for reciprocal tariffs?" he was asked. "That is another complication that must be studied," he answered. Of course, we must protect domestic industry." The bill, Rainey said, "is not a part of the administration legislative program as yet." It may be included, he added. Black's six hour day bill for rail road workers was referred to the in terstate commerce committee. It would repeal the existing eight hour law for the carriers and make the shorter day effective next July 1. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, said n a statement that Benate approval of the Black bill "can be properly in terpreted as a blow at the vital spot of unemployment." He added: "In operation it will create work oppor tunities for millions of idle working men and women." State Journal. TAKES STOMACH "IN HAND" Chicago.
