We happened to" be in the shop of Anton Auerswald when he was com pleting a wagon box, and we were pleased with the very fine appearance of the' box and the substantial build J of the same.

New Law to Aid in the Fight on Bindweed Fanncrs Thraout State Ask County Boards for Aid in Eradi cating Pest. Further interest in bindweed erad ication under the provisions of the new law enacted at the last session of the legislature is being manifested thruout the state, addtiional reports reaching the Nebraska college of agri culture indicate. William Beecham. J. P. Mahoney and R. R. Miller, farmers near Pal myra in Otoe county, have appealed to authorities there for assistance In preventing the spreading of the bind weed. The county board is expected to take action on their appeal. In Cedar county some interest has developed around the plan of giving unemployed some work on eradicat ing bindweed from farms and high ways. J. P. O'Furey, editor of the Cedar County News, advocated this practice last week. Bindweed here is supposed to be fairly heavily in fested. The 1933 bindweed law makes it the duty of various political sub divisions, such as the state and the county, and tbe farmers to destroy the pest. If a patch of bindweed is larger than an acre, the law says the farmer shall destroy one acre and then two percent of the remainder each year. Counties and the state and railroads must also destroy bindweed, under the terms of the law. HEW ATTACK ON JEW LOOMS Berlin, Sept. 30. Marrying a non- Aryan would be punishable by law if a proposal made by the Prussian min ister of justice prevails. "The prin ciple of the past egotistic age, to the effect that everybody who wears a human face is equal, destroys the race and, thereby, the ability of a people to live," a ministry official said. On this basis he declared that too "Jew, Negro or other colored person may mingle with German blood." Admixture of Germans with non Aryans would constitute treason against the race, according to this official's view, as would dancing with a Negro in a public place. Should Germans marry non-Aryans despite this pronouncement, such marriages may be annuled, the ministry offi cial said. REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE FARMERS STATE BANK of Plattsmouth, Nebr.

All railroads doing business in Nebraska were cited Wednesday by the state railway commission to ap pear before it on Nov. 1 to show cause why they should not comply with the provisions of the law regu lating the issuance of free passes and the order issued in 1912 designat ing the form to be followed in re porting upon free transportation is sued by the roads. They will also be required to show cause why issuance of free or reduced rate transporta tion should not be reported to the commission in a uniform and com plete manner as required by law and why passes not issued in conformity with the law and the rules of the commission should not be cancelled. The order recites the law and pre vious order of the commission in full, and also these facts that have come to its attention thru inspection of records filed: That some or the railroads oper ating in Nebraska are not reporting Lto the commission in compliance with the statute and general order; and the reports received by the com mission vary in form and contents materially. That numerous reports of free and reduced rate transportation issued by railroads show a superabundance of passes and free transpotration issued to alleged dependent children of em ployes, which children are more than 21 and beyond the ordinary age of dependency. That some reports of free trans portation received from carriers oper ating in Nebraska show passes and fre transportation issued to attorneys and other alleged employes, the ma jor portion of whose time may not be spent in the employ of such railroad. That exchange of passes and free transportation appear to be carried on on a large scale by railroads oper ating in Nebraska to such an extent that the commission feels that par ties not entitled to free or reduced rate transportation may be receiving the same. Ths commission says it will insist upon strict compliance with the law and its orders. MORE MEN ON ROAD WORK In the last two days the local em ployment department at the court house has been a busy place in sup plying the calls for men needed on the paring projects in the west part of the county, which is now open ing up. The contracting companies are required to employ as many &3 possible of the unemployed in the county and prepare their lists which are submitted to the office here and men to fill the requirements are sup plied. Judge A. H. Duxbury has been in charge of this work and has been very active in securing as many places as possible for those who are in need of work and can be handled by the contractor and sub-contractors on the various jobs. The - calls nave been for many classes of workers, common labor, truck driver, machine operators and others. The paving work will assist a large number this fall it is expect ed and place them in better shape for the approach of the winter sea son. NOT TO CLOSE FORT CR00X Omaha, Sept. 29. "War department officials will oppose the closing of any active interior army posts such as Fort Crook here, according to a tele gram today from Commissioner East burn of the Omaha chamber of com merce, now in Washington, to Chair man Byrne of the chamber's military affairs committee. East burn said he had interviewed Assistant Secretary of War Woodring and expected to see Chief of Staff Mc Artbur about obtaining a quarter of a million dollars of improvements now sought for Fort Omaha. "Woodring told Congressman Burke and myself that only inactive posts would be abandoned and that no survey of the Fort Crook situa tion had been asked," Eastburn said in bis message.

If we have your's it's a bargain) ALL THROUGH THE SHOP Hooey Bargains Crisis in Arms Parley to Rest on Reich Views England and France Appear to Be Aligned Against the Hitler Plea for Equality. Geneva. League of Nations circles believed the real crisis in the disarm ament situation would come with the return to Geneva of Konstantln von Neurath. German foreign minister who has gone to Berlin to consult with his chief. Chancellor Hitler. The departure of von Neurath and Dr. Joseph Goebbels, reich minister of propaganda, for the capital was accompanied by a noticeable stiffen ing of the German attitude, openly voiced in German circles. One declar ation was that the crying need is the disarmament of Germany's neighbors. The foreign minister told German newspaver men before his departure that Germany will insist on the right to possess arms at a level to which neighboring countries eventually would descend. This was joined with the understanding that Germany would be entitled to begin construc tion of these arms when any agree ment drawn up begin3 to function. If this German attitude is adopted, it was recognized in league circles as meaning pressure would be brought to bear on France to begin the de struction of big guns, bombing plane3 and like categories, in addi tion to reducing the number of men under colors. Some English delegates insisted there should be no rearma ment of Germany. 'A similar view was expressed by Jpscph Paul-Bon-cour, French foreign, minister. It was revealed in the German quarters that the unofficial disarm ament conferences which have been under way would be continued but that "we fight for this principle of equality." This would involve the acquirement of military airplanes which the reich now is denied by the treaty of Versailles. Meanwhile, Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, Chinese minister to France, told the League of Nations assembly "ominous clouds are rising on the far eastern horizon." "The race for armaments has be gun with the huge naval and air maneuvers, fleet concentrations, the fortifying of bases, and enormous in creases in war expenditures," he said. Disarmament efforts and the world economic conference, he continued, had resulted in greater skepticism in the far east, adding: "If the cove nant is a scrap of paper east of Suez, how can it become a reality in Eu rope?" IS CLEVER DESIGNER This city has a young man that has shown a real talent in the design ing and building of ship models and planes, Theodore Yelick, who is bet ter known as "Pete." This young man designed and built a speed boat model that was perfect in every de tail, provided with motor, lights and a real miniature speeu boat in every way. Thi3 model was exhibited at the state fair at Lincoln where it was awarded first prize in its class. It was later shown at the county fair at Weeping Water and where it also was awarded the first prize in its class. It is very pleasing to the young man that his efforts have been recog nized at the fairs where they were in contest with other entries in the same class. DRAW YEAR'S SENTENCE From Saturday's Dally This morning In the district court, Leonard Schrceder and Vilas Winters, who had plead guilty to sealing, were arraigned for sentence. The young men had plead guilty to the charge of stealing seme nine bushels of al falfa seed, the property of Ernest Ahrens, of Nehawka. The "court In consideration of the age of the two defendants, gave them a sentence of one year in the state reformatory at Lincoln, to wiiich place they will be taken later by Sheriff Homer Sylvester. Million Bonds Delinquent in State Interest Treasurer Finds $71,318 of Coupons for Interest and $110,987 in Face Value Defaulting. Without naming the municipali ties whose bonds are owned by the state, State Treasurer Hall, under authority of the board of educational lands and funds, has issued a state ment showing that out of a total of 114,005,548.63 invested by this board as of September 1, only $110,987.49 of the principal is in default, making the percentage of defaulted bonds to total investment only .792 of 1 per cent. But the total of Interest coupons in default, meaning past due coupons, is $71,318.76. A larger and more important item than either of the above, because of uncertainty as to the amount of prob able less to tbe state, is the sum of $1,098,207.48 representing the total amount of bonds owned by the state, Jiot due, but on which the interest is now delinquent. No light is thrown upon how much if any of this million of the state's investment may have to be compro mised or lost in the future, if the state board should prove in the courts that it has power to compromise with municipalities unable to pay their their bends in principal or interest. It is explained by the state treas urer that most of the $71,318 of in terest coupons in default belongs to the million of bonds not due on which interest is delinquent. In his statement the treasurer takes no account of accrued interest on coupons, but merely the face value of coupons. The item of bonds in de fault. $110,987, means bonds past due with no more coupons attached to be clipped. The second portion of the treas urer's tabulation shows interest col lected on bonds for the fiscal year 1931-32 and the fiscal year 1932-33. The interest collected for the fiscal year 1931 is $598,964.52 and for the year 1933 was $586,476.62, a de crease of only $12,4 87.90, which con sidering the times the treasurer be lieves is not so bad as might be ex pected. . This collection of interest on a to tal investment of $14,005,548 indi cates that the state trust funds are earning" now about 4.2 per cent in terest and if all the interest could be collected, it would approximate 4 per cent interest. The total interest collected for the two fiscal years, for each of the four trust funds, as compiled by Treasurer Hall, follows: ' 7-1-31 to 7-1 -.12 to M-.t-.t2 B-.tO-.T3 Perm, school . . .

TOTALS $598,964.52 $586,476.62 The income for the soldiers relief fund is interest unon $2,000,000 of state funds voted by the legislature, but under the statute $1,950,000 of that amount was the total invested. The otal trust funds involved, ac cording to the treasurer's last month ly report: Permanent school, $11, 053,945.10; permanent university, $272,737.04; agricultural endow ment, $664,180.37; normal endow ment. $82,027.46; soldiers' relief, $1, 926,318.66; Bessey memorial, $6,340. In the foregoing statement of inter est collected, the permanent univer sity fund includes the agricultural college endowment. The Bessey 'me morial fund of $6,340 is not included in computation of interest. FARM SHARES PRICE GAIN Washington, Sept. 29. Dr. Fred C. Howe, consumer's counsel of the farm adjustment administration, said that "by paying an additional 20 per cent for the representative foods that fo into the typical family market basket, consumers have made pos sible a 50 per cent increase in pay ment to farmers." He said the "extra dollars that consumers are paying" were going almost entirely to the farmers, although he added the "goal of a pre-war dollar" for the grower was still a long way off. The consumer's counsel said a sur vey based on bureau of labor statis tics, showed buyers in some cities were having to pay considerably above average prices reported for food. "For instance,' he said, "la Boston, eggs average 15 cents a dozen Jiigher than the averages of 25 cents for the 49 cities covered. They are 23 cents a dozen more than con sumers in Springfield, 111., or Omaha Faave to pay." Every printing Job nlven to an out-of-town conoern helps hold down Journal payrolls, which are expended almost 100 per cent in Plattsmouth. DEPART FOR PLAUJV1EW Frcm Saturday's Daily Early this morning Mr. and Mrs. Louis Born of this city, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Meisinger of Santa Ana, Cali fornia, with Mrs. Adam Meisinger of Cedar Creek, departed for Plain view. They will enjoy a visit with Mrs. Adam Frederick, a sister of Mrs. Born and Mr. Meisinger and sister-in-law of Mrs. Adam Meisinger. They ex pect to spend several days in north Nebraska territory. the Federal Road Funds May be Called Back Punishment for States Slow in Con struction Work Contemplated Call Back All Unused. Washington, Sept. 27 Displeased and disappointed by the delay of fourteen states in beginning highway construction with federal money al loted to them, the public works ad ministration considered withdrawing the funds from the "dilatory" states. The special board for public works, which approves allotments from the 3.3 billions fund, adopted a resolu tion instructing its general counsel, H. T. Hunt, to advise whether allo cations made to the states and so far lying unused might be taken back. The sum of 400 millions was set aside from the public works funds for road projects in the states and in all but fourteen construction work has started. In some of the states where no construction lias been be gun, bids have been advertised for and in some cases contracts have been let. The funds were made available soon after the public works adminis tration was set up in order that men could be employed in as large num bers as possible during the summer and fall months. The fact that win ter is approaching without work be ing under way in some states has caused considerable disappointment. In connection with other state public works projects. Secretary Ickes made it plain that the public works administration is not concerning it self with limitations on the borrow ing of funds which are written into some state constitutions and that such states cannot expect special help from the government. TITLE SHE CANNOT RELINQUISH IS SCORNED BY LADC W0LSELEY London. While Sir Reginald Wolseley was dive, he and his wife couldn't agree on how worth while it was to be called "Lord" and "Lady." He much preferred running an ele vaotr in Waterloo, la.; she wanted the honors of Ue aristocracy. She had her way. But now he is dead, and she, who is Lady Wolseley. wants to be known simply as Mrs. Marion Baker Wolse - ley. Wednesday she declared her in tention to renounce his title to the baronetcy. She had nursed his mother during her last illness and, carrying out a death-bed wish, went to Waterloo to marry the son. He refused to leave the job he held 14 years and she sail ed back without him. He obtained a divorce, charging desertion. She returned to Iowa in December, 1931. They apparently patched up their differences; the divorce was an nuled, and they left for England. "It's not my money she wants," said Dick Wolseley, "for I haven't any. She already ha3 my title. So I guess she must still love me. But I want to stay here." Although she requested solicitors to publish notices that she was re nouncing the baronetcy. Lady Wolse ley can never be divested of the title except through death or remarriage. mm Suede Suede-Tex Chrome Leather Cossack or Blouse Style 02-25 t) 59-05 Wescott's -Since 1879 BETTER III AT Novak Auto o.

MANY WILL BENEFIT BY SURPLUS PURCHASE The president's authorization of the purchase of 75 million dollars' worth of surplus food and clothing materials will not only help to re lieve the destitute unemployed. It should also show itself in gome bene fit to those whose want is born of plenty the farmer and those who transmute his products into the ntc esrwics of life. It will, moreover, to some extent at any rate, relieve our minds of the distressing "economic paradox" of unprofitable " surpluses existing side by side with extreme want. A precedent for this tction was set last year when quantities of wheat and cotton were bought by the government and dispensed through the Red Cross. Forty million bush els of wheat and 330 thousand bales of cotton were voted by congress for free distribution out of farm board's supplies for the nation's needy. More recently there has been a distribu tion of meat. But even if there were not such precedents. the pressing paradox Would suggest. if not compel, some such provision. The number of fam ilies stated to be still on the relief rolls (3,500,000) is not likely to be reduced for the winter, despite the increase in employment, for resources have been depleted by the very lapse of time and cannot immediately be replenished.
