FIRE DEPARTMENT HINDERED
Curtis, Neb. Curtis citizens who
persist in following fire department
trucks when they are answering an
alarm got a surprise the other day.
The fire department was summoned
but on arriving at the scene of the
alarm found it had responded to a
fales call. Police Chief McConahay,
however, was on hand and the tick
ets he handed to all motorists who
had followed the fire trucks were
not false. The motorists were order
ed to appear in police court and ex
plain why it was necessary for them
td follow the trucks. The firemen
have been bothered and delayed by
the large number of persons who re
spond to every fire alarm. They claim
it makes their work difficult and ex
tremely dangerous.

' Using Much Grain Now
The Miller Cereal Mills, of Omaha,
which huilt cribs and stored at Green
wood and Alvo some 80,000 bushels
of fine white Cass county corn tor use
in making the corn flakes and other
food preparations which they produce
at their Omaha mills, are enjoying a
sDlendid trade and finding an in
creasing demand for their products.
The representative of this concern in
speaking with the Journal correspon
dent at Union stated that the mills
are using four car loads of this and
other corn daily in the manufacture
of their line of breakfast foods and
are operating the mill twenty-four
hours per day, seven days a week,
with three shifts of workmen. Re
cently they put a nice wage increase
in effect among their employees. The
Miller Cereal Mills has grown into
rnore than a Nebraska Institution,
having distribution facilities in many
of the large cities all over the coun
try and selling their goods in com
petition with some of the older lines.
Their success goes to show the truth
of the old adage that if a man turns
out a superior kind of mousetrap, the
world will make a beaten path to his
door. The cereal business is full of
opportunity and the Miller company
is making the most of it. Their pop
ular line includes corn flakes, oat
flakes and bran flakes, all whole
some and tasty, and best of all made
from grain produced right here in
Cass county, thus helping to build up
a better market for home products.
Nicely Arranged Store
The Rihn and Greene place of busi
ness in Union, which has just re
cently become associated with the
Clover Farm Stores, a national orga
nization, but still retaining their in
dependence as a home owned store,
have entirely overhauled their busi
ness place, having John Alwin, of
fixtures, while 'fiarl Merritt, the
painter and decorator, has been mak
ing use of his art and the paint pot
and brush to beautify the interior,
which he has done with abundant
success.
The new arrangement places the
first twenty feet of the store room in
use for drygoods, and following this
there is a space on the west devoted
to vegetables and from there on south
along the west side, the shelving is
devoted to the storage of square and
oblong package goods, extending back
to the meat department. Along the
east side, just back of the dry goods
division comes the canned goods, tak-j
ing up a good part of the space, but
leaving room for the display ot bread
cookies and other bakery goods. In
the center at the rear of the room
and adiacent to the refrigerator, is
the meat serving counter and also the
cooling receptacle for the holding of
the meats, cured and fresh.
This new arrangement will make
the display of goods very efficient,
and will also enable the salesmen to
better work and serve the customers
It is in line with the standard store
arrangement of all Clover Farm
stores, being worked out by experts
who have made long study of store
arrangement.
Affiliation with the Clover Farm
organization will give Messrs Rihn
and Greene a buying power greater
than any one store could command,
yet leave them entirely free to con
duct their business in the same in
dependent and efficient manner they
have in the past.

Johnson Counts
on Quick Revival
of Employment
Sees Jobs for 5 to 6 'Million Men
under the President's Re
covery Plan.
Washington. An estimate that
Between 5 and 6 million workers
would be re-employed before Labor
day was made by Hugh S. Johnson,
the administrator ot national recov
ery, as he told the nation that "noth
ing can stop" President Roosevelt's
economic program. The key man of
the administration's program for bet
ter times addressed the nation just
twenty-four . hours after his chief ap
pealed for support of the program,
and during the interim some 10,000
replies had poured into the white
house pledging support. Telegraph
wires Into the capital were reported
burdened by the response of the peo
pie, and white house attaches said
the deluge of messages were the
greatest in history.
It was upon the basis of this in
pouring of encouraging reactions to
the plan to raise wages and spread
employment thru limitation of work
ing hours that Johnson based his esti
mate of new jobs the first definite
calculation he has made since under
taKing nis task, wew codes were
coming from industries to supple
ment the 400 already in hand, in
eluding oil, wool textiles, lumber and
rayon upon which hearings pro
ceeded during the day.
"Nothing will even hamper the
president's program," Johnson said
in his address. "The power of this
people once aroused and united in
a fixed purpose is the most irresist
ible force in the world. Unity and
powerful purpose are not frequent in
a democracy. They are possible only
when two essentials are present, an
elemental human .aspiration and
leadership toward which it can turn."
Johnson said the response to Pres
ident Roosevelt's address presented
"a cross section of employers, great
and small, so thoro as of itself to
insure success."
Intermingled with his appeal for
continued support, Johnson warned
against strife between employers and
workers. "We can't do this job in
an atmosphere of sniping and suspic
ion," he asserted. "There is no doubt
at all that as soon as this law was
passed some ' companies' which' had
never before thought it necessary to
consult their own workers about con
ditions of employment went about
the hurried organization of company
dominated unions with something
less than unseemingly haste and, in
a few cases, with questionable state
ments to the men as to what the re
covery act really requires. Neither
is there the slightest doubt that the
works in many industries were cir
culated with equally questionable
statements that men could not get
the benefits of this act without join
ing some .particular union. This
jumping the gun was equally bad on
both sides. State Journal.

investigation of the sale of stocks
of several breweries and that action
likely would be taken against specu

whose stocks were being dealt in
were not yet in operation. They said
that in several cases, investigation

State Land Surveyor Lawson has
returned from the western part of
the state where he made arrange
ments with lessees of state school
lands to permit the federal govern
ment's reforestation army to move
onto the timber lands when federal
lands and forests are completed, by
the tree army boys. The Nebraska
timber lands are in the Pine Ridge
country and total approximately 10
thousand acres.
Lawson said the Pine Ridge coun
try was one of the heavily wooded
sections of the state fifty years ago,
but had been thinned considerably
when large lumber companies moved
in and practically cut down the
forest.
The-reforestation army, when fed
eral projects are completed, which
will probably be next spring, will
concentrate on planting trees along
the streams in the Pine Ridge area,
opening up and widening small
springs that have been covered by
silt and removing all fire hazards and
dead wood.
Lawson said that officials at Fort
Robinson and at the state park at
Chadron were in hope that the pro
gram for maintaining conservation
camps would be extended for at
least eighteen months. '-'
