Ako News
John Banning and wife were net
hunting pheasants last Sunday, but
were visiting at Union with relatives
and they say they had just as good a
time at that.
John Skinner drove over to Lincoln
last Tuesday and brought home the
wife and young son who was born to
them some two weeks before. John is
happy to have the family back home
again.
Jcscph Parscll was having a new
crib constructed on his 80 acres, so
he can have seme place to store his
ccrn until it sells for 65 cents per
bushel, which he does not think will
be long.
John B. Elliott, with a party of
friends from Lincoln were hunting at
Albion over the week end and report
a good time and plenty of pheasants,
for they say the northwest is alive
with them.
Frank E. Cook and Simon Reh
rr.eier were out to Friend for their
pheasants, and found it did not take
them leng to get the limit, but they
surely did enjoy the trip and the sport
cf hunting the b!rd3.
Frank L. Edwards, who is a farmer
and knows the ins and outs of the
agricultural game, is picking corn
for S. C. Eoyles and is turning many
bushels into the crib each day, to be

Peoria, 111. Eight thousand Illi

and then pronounced the measures
good and pledged their support. The

Appeased Their Appetites
Edgar Edwards, Carl Rosenow,
Lyle Miller and Elmer Rcsenow had
a decided longing for a few meals of
pheasant and on last Saturday they
drove out to Woodriver, where they
hunted a portion of the day Sunday
and got their limit, setting right out
fcr home with the birds and now they
are fed up cn pheasant for a while at
least.
Going on a Cash Basis
E. L. Nelson, who has been engag
ed in business in Alvo for four years,
has dene a general credit business,
piling up more than a thousand dol
lars in uncollectible accounts on his
bocks, and although he feels there are
seme who are worthy of credit, he
says he cannot go on losing money
as he has been doing, and ha3 con
cluded to turn over a new leaf the
first of November and sell for cash
enly after that date. With the credit
hazard removed, he will be able to
offer goods for less money and that is
what most everyone is looking for
nowadays.

Falling Commodity Markets

! Washington. The administration
pushed the price of newly mined gold
still higher, supported by a formal
opinion from Attorney General Cum
mings upholding the legality of the
method chosen for carrying out Prcs-
I ident Roosevelt's new monetary pol
icy. The gold quotation was fixed at
$31.54, a figure IS cents higher than
that of Wednesday, and 48 to 57
cents above the price of the metal on
th? London market.
Nevertheless, news from the com
modity markets brought the first re
verse in the chief executiv's campaign
for a lusher general price levl to
be achievd by artificially raising the

Found the Birds Timid
Mayer Arthur Dinges, Herman L.
Bornemeier, farmer, A. D. Stromer,
rural mail carrier and C. D. Ganz, the
banker, were cut in the wilds, where
they spent the week end and were
able to get all the pheasants they
were entitled to, but found that the
birds did not come up and ask to be
shot, for they had a time in getting
their quota with the birds more timid
than in j-ears heretofore. The speed
of the pheasant makes the hunting
of them snlendid sport and it takes
one with a quick draw and ready aim
to pull down everyone they fire at.
Lester Frolith and Wendell Kitzell
comprised another pair cf pheasant
hunters who went out by themselves
and got all the law allows, but like
wise had a time in getting them.
They enjoyed their trip however, and
the sport of chasing through the corn
fields of the northwest without hav
ing to throw the corn into the wagon.
l7akes Change in Store
The Barkhurst store has been
given a thorough coins over in the
matter of re-arrangement of the in
terior and plans for displaying their
goods and sure they hav? worked
wonders with the change. The can
ned goods now occupy the north wall
and present a neat appearance. The
ether goodj are all grouped and ar
ranged for quick selection by the cus
tomer, who has opportunity to see
just what he is getting. There are
fruit display stands and a special scap
display, also a department for confec
tions and tobacco. Then comes the
market department, with a display of
Jueats and kindred items and also the
dry goods and shoe departments still
in another place and withal the en
tire scheme Is very pleasing and so
well arranged that tho work of serv
ing their customers will be greatly
reduced.

Trenton, ZI. J. Adam Schmidt, a
12-ycar-old schoolboy who worried
about a $5,400 mortgage on the fam-
ly home, found out he won't have to
'sleep under a tree" as he wrote Pres-
dent Roosevelt he was willing to do.
Puzzled a bit by the legal machinery
but fully cognizant of the significance
of it all, Adam was jubilant as fore
closure of mortgages on his parents'
home in Trenton was averted, the first
n New Jersey to benefit under the
Home Owners Loan corporation.
Adam, his mother and father, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Smith, and a friend
of the family, were present in the of
fice of G. F. Shanley, state manager,
to see the two mortgages cancelled
and receipts for corporation bonds
made out to the mortgagee. The fam
ily's plight, resulting from six
months' unemployment by the fath
er, long had weighed heavily on
young Adam. Then he heard in school
about "some things" the president
was doing in Washington.
Unknown to the famliy, he ad
dressed a letter to "Pres. Roosevelt."
"Please, sir. Pres. Roosevelt," he
said. "I feci sorry for my mother.
Mother cries day and night because
we are going to lose our home. There
are seven in the family, counting me.
Please, sir. Pres. Roosevelt," he con
cluded, "I always worry that some
thing might happen to my mother.
Please, can't you do Eoim thing for
our family? l am willing to sieep
under a tree, but I feel sorry for my
mother and father and sister and the
rest of the family. Thanks a thcu-
and times."
The boy's letter was forwarded
from Washington to Shanley, who investigated.

Felland died a short time later in a

Another man was near death and
a dozen others were nursing minor

Witnesses said the truck proceed

refused to give their names reported
they had "stopped to see the excite

in the truck were armed, they went
back to their car. That was before
the shot was fired. They said they
followed the truck into Madison but
lost it.

VALENTINE KL0TZ IS QUEEN

crowned queen at the farmers' for

cial event, at the Student Actviities
i building Friday . 'night. Mildred
Tickler, Inland, was Miss Klotz' maid
of honor.
Miss Klotz is a senior in the col
lege of agriculture, majoring in home
economics, a member of Tassels, wom
en's prep organization, and of Mor
tar Board. She was chosen by popu
lar student vote in the college. About
150 couples attended the "formal"

out in the decorations for the ball
room and stage on which Miss Klotz

Washington. President Roosevelt
and his advisers are considering ask
ing congress to increase the huge
fund set aside for public works con
struction in an effort to stimulate em
ployment. Congress last spring au
thorized the expenditure of Z.Z bil
lions. To date $2,105,21G,525 has
been allocated to federal and non
federal projects in all parts of tha
country. About a quarter of this has
actually been withdrawn from ttu'
treasury.
The exact amount which the pres
ident may ask of the next cor.giess
has not been determined, altho Sec
retary Ickes, public works administra
tor, is known to favor an ad iiticr.al
1.7 billions. Enough to bring the to
tal for public works to 5 b;llio:i.
Pending a decision of the amount
of new public works to be sanctioned
Mr. Roosevelt is deferring completiop
of his fiscal program for the ensuing
year. He expects a report next week
from the special committee invent!
gating proposed taxes on liquor in the
event of repeal. A tentative deadline
on which the present 3.3 billions s
to be allotted has been set for Jan. 1.
A rapidly mounting number of ap
plications from states, smaller politi
cal subdivisions and private sources
for funds has convinced Ickes that
manv communities will have to be
turned down unless the fund is aug
mented. In addition, several hun
dred millions must yet be taken from
the fund for the federal housing cor
poration. This corporation will direct
actively the erection and leasing of
low cost housing in all parts of tho
country.
Creation of the corporation and
the allocation of a large sum to it
would leave less than a billion to
meet several thousand applications
now at the public works administra
tion.
