proposed as civil works projects, the
state emergency board in charge of
CWA for Nebraska has informed
southeastern Nebraska orchardists
who sought approval of a project to
eliminate sources of tree disease.

Rowland Haynes, federal relief ad
ministrator for Nebraska, submitted
the proposal to Washington CWA of
cials in long distance telephonic con
versations, it was said. While Wash
ington officials were understood tc
have said the projects might be al

ed out that the first purpose of the
CWA is to provide work at construc
tion jobs.

President Says
He Has the Right
to Manage Gold
But Official Secrecy Maintained on
Next Monetary Move No Cen
tral Bank Planned.
AVashington. President Roosevelt
asserted his light to take over the
gold of the federal reserve system,
but smilingly waved aside questions
asking whether he would do this or
make any other immediate move in
his monetary program. The president
let the wave of speculation over his
anaged currency effort which was re
vived by Thursday's financial confer
ences, take its own course and main
tained his usual guarded secrecy over
this complex problem. It is believed
he will call in the $3,600,000,000 in
gold held by the federal reserve banks
before he fixes the devaluated price
of the dollar to insure the treasury
obtaining th benefits of the increased
value of the gold.
It is also believed he has some
new monetary steps in contempla
tion, including .action on silver, but
necessarily he is saying nothing in
advance about it to assure the success
of the move when made.
He described talks with Secretary
Morgcnthau, Attorney General Cum-j
mings and Governor Black of thej
federal reserve board as a contin
uation of the usual conversations
checking up cn the progress of the
new monetary policy.
Coinage Hearing Monday.
The white house evinced no parti
cular interest in the hearings to be
gin Monday before the house coinage
committee, where the advocates of
various money policies will be heard.
Those who have agreed to testify in
clude Irving Fisher, Yale professor;
Father Coughlin of Detroit; Paul
Warburg, critic of the administra
tion's money policy; Frank A. Van
de'lip. New York economist, and
Prof. O. M. W. Sprague, who recently
resigned as a treasury advisor in pro
test against the Roosevelt monetary
policy.
There is no dcubt that the presi
dent intends to keep his own giip on
his monetary program and make his
own moves in the announced effort
to obtain higher commodity; prices
and a more stable medium i of ex-
serve system as well as all other gold.
Attorney General Cumminss had
earlier given him an opinion on this
oint. There is still some speculation
; whether he would not nevertheless
put lhe prOI)oral up to congress for
formal approval in the event he does
this.
No Central Bank.
Incidentally, the president brushed
aside reports of the creation of a cen
tral bank as a bad guess. The re
mark was made that this would be
taking a course just the opposite from
that of President Andrew Jackson,
who abolished a central bank.
Meanwhile, the price of gold was
maintained again by the treasury at
$3 4.0 6 for the nineteenth consecutive
day. Fixing the price at this figure
definitely would bring about a de
valuation cf the dollar to about 60
cents.
Chairman Somers, of the house
committee, said that after his mone
tary hearings begin he will advise the
president of the fact so that an ad
ministration official may be desig
nated to testify if the chief executive
feels such a course to ba advisable.
"The v.hoel situation is clouded not
only in this country but thruout the
world," Somers sc.id. "Members of
congress have difficulty figuring it
out, and each nation distrusts every
other nation. We hope to remove
some of the clouds."
CHARLES E. HACK KILLED
Mesa, Ariz. Charleu E. Mack of
the "Two Black Crows" vaudeville

of the team; Mack Sennett, motion
picture producer; Mrs. Mack and
Mary Jane Mack, a daughter, all rid
ing in the same car, escaped unhurt

GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN
DOES NOT HARM THE HEART
THE USEFULNESS OF TREES
U. S. Commissioner of Education
states:
There is no more important lesson
for the American people to learn than
the need of growing and conserving
forests and trees.
In the United States we use 23
billion cubic feet of wood a year.
Forest fires and insects destroy 2 bil
lion more feet.
Railroads use 130 million new
vood ties every year.
.rive minion trees are cut every
year to maintain telephone and tele
graph wires. You ' know the size o
these poles and you know it has taken
the tiee that provided it a long time
to grow.
One of the most important ques
tions before a great industry is the
production of paper on which news
papers are printed. Newsprint is i
forest product. It is made from ulp
wood. It takes '16 acres of spruce
trees to make the paper for one Sun
day edition of a metropolitan news
paper.
Every four years enough news
print is made for a strip as wide as
a daily paper and long enough to
reach the sun and back.
North America, with onc-twelftt
of the world's people, uses about one
half of all the timber consumed in
the world.
1 We are using and destroying our
forests 4' times faster than we are
replenishing them.
Think before you cut a tree.

State Farmers
Union is to With
hold Its Dues
National Organization Will Receive
No More Until After Probe;
Pannenter Defeated.
Omaha The Menrata state Farm
ers union late Thursday voted to
withhold dues to the national union
pending an Investigation to be made
by a Nebraska committee at national
headquarters.
This action, which closed the state
convention here, was taken after a
stormy session during which severe
criticism was voiced aganist the na
tional union administration and
charges of misleadership were made
against National President John A
Simpson of Oklahoma City, and Na
tional Secretary E. E. Kennedy of
Kankakee, 111.
These charges will be investigated
by the Nebraska committee which, he
said State President II. G. Keeney of
Omaha, will act soon." Keeney, a
conservative, was re-elected state
president by acclamation. lie will be
serving his tenth term in that post
The conservatives in the Nebraska
union scored another victory when
Harry C. Pannenter of utan was
defeated for re-election to the board
of directors of the state union. Par
mcnter, president of the Nebraska
Farmers Holiday association, was
elected to the national board of di
rectors at the national convention
here several months ago. John Hen
thorn of Aurora, a conservative, re
places Pannenter on the state board.
Upon recommendation of the reso
lutions committee, the convention left
the question of Nebraska secession
from the national union to the dis
cretion of President Keeney and the
state board. The convention passed
a resolution asking congress to au
thorize the use of postoffices as clear
ing houses for produce checks unless
bank service charges are reduced to
one-fourth of 1 percent.
Kennedy a Target.
Shortly after the final session
started, John Havekost of Hooper,
state union director and member oi
tho legislature, demanded that
charges against Kennedy be brought
before the convention. He called on
R. V. Graff, manager of the Farmers
Union Oil association at Bancroft:
who mounted the stand with a port
folio which, he told delegates, con
tained affidavits signed by two Illi
nois men concerning the activities of
Kennedy as former secretary of the
Illinois union. Kennedy rseigned the
Illinois post in 1931.
Referring to Simpson's statement
of Wednesday night that he came be
fore the convention as a "papa" for
a "fatherly little talk," Graff told
the convention, "But before we ac
knowledge this parentage, we want
to be sure he won't disfranchise his
children in Nebraska as he did in
Illinois."
Graff then charged that the ac-
tiviteis of Simpson and Kennedy had
resulted in schism of farm union
ranks in Kentuck, Minnesota and
Iowa as well as Illinois.
LIFTS BAN ON PORK SALES
Washington. The farm adminis
tration announced it would relax its
prohibition against butchering and
sale of pork by farmers. New reg
ulations now being drawn will pro
vide for an exemption from process
ing taxes of 800 pounds of dressed
pork per year for sale or exchange.
Present regulations allow exemption
only on pork processed for use by
the farmer's family or his employes.
Decision to enlarge the butchering
lmit was reached at a conference be
tween farm administration officials
and seventeen congressmen. The lat
ter maintained the present restric
tions were unjust to farmers who for
merly made a little extra money by
butchering a few hog3 and selling the
meat either to retail stores or direct
to consumers.
EXINGEMAN POULTRY WENS
Norfolk, Neb. John Klingeman,
prominent Ulysses poultry breeder
Thursday was declared to have the
best display of birds in the Nebraska
poultry show here. His Single Comb
Reds were winners. Paul Pospisil of
Colon, exhibited the champion male
bird of the show, and the champion
female was owned by Rev. A. H. Chol-
cher of Crete. The Newman Grove
hatchery is owner of the champion
pen of birds.
Other winners of special events
follow: Best bird, Mediterranean
class Lloyd Colglazier, Falls City.
Best bird, Asiatic class Mrs. Henry
Neidig of Madison. Best bird, Eng
lish class John Skinner of Herman.
Best bird in show, Rev. Mr. Cholcher.
The Norfolk hatchery placed first in
the hatchery flock competition.
HAS CAR STOLEN
Fred Kaufmann, residing near
Union, had his car stolen in Omaha
Thursday evening, the car being
found this morning in the vlcintiy of
Avery, where it had been abandoned
and wehn discovered and reported had
been stripped. The officers here and
at Omaha were unable to locate the
owner of the car who had driven it
to Omaha Thursday.
Falls City
People Plead
for Cedars
Governor Bryan to Make Further
Inquiry Into Nebraska Leaar
Rust Statute.
Governor Bryan lias received so
many remonstrances against enforce
ment of the cedar rust law that he is
holding in abeyance his contemplated
notice to owners of cedar tree3 near
commercial orchards to destroy such
trees.
Henry Gerdss, formerly member of
the state board of control, accom
panied by Henry Wittrock and Henry
Wyatt, all of Falls City, called in
person on the governor Thursday to
protest. They told the governor that
there is no truth in the statement of
orchard men that opposition to the
law has been withdrawn. They said
people in Falls City are almost unani
mously against the terms of the law.
The law would mean the destruction
of 1,000 good cedar trees in Falls
City as orchards of A. J. Weaver and
John W. Towle coma right up to the
city limits. The delegation said
Weaver and Towle as orchardists
have said they would not complain
against trees in Falls City.
Governor Bryan said he was re
ceiving vigorous complaints against
enforcement of the law, some of them
containing statements contrary to
statements made by orchardists.
"I will examine more carefully in
to the provision of the act, its re
quirements and exceptions," said
Bryan.
He said complaints allege that the
original state law did not require
owners of cedars to remove trees at
their own expense, but that it was
amended without the knowledge of
cedar tree owners that the expense
would fall upon them.

CORN COMES ROLLING IN
Omaha. Elated grain men were at
a los3 to explain a sudden Jump in
corn receipts on the local market.
From scattered points, sixty-four cars
were received Friday the largest
daily corn receipts for some time. Re
ceipts a week ago totaled fourteen
cars.
The decline in receipts has been
steady of late, because of the increas
ing volume of corn loan money paid
out to Nebraska and Iowa farmers
on corn in cribs on their farms.
"I can't figure out today's in
crease," said E. A. Lucke, president
of the Omaha grain exchange, "un
less it represents the last corn piled
on the ground and not In cribs. But
what I can't figure out is why these
farmers would sell at thirty-two or
thirty-three cents a bushel when, by
spending a few cents a bushel, they
could put the corn in a crib and be
come eligible for the forty-fiTe cents
a bushel government loans. What
ever the reason, we are mighty glad
to see it."
DEPARTING FOR CALIFORNIA
Mrs. Michael Sedlak and daugh
ter, Miss Florence, leave this week

They are to make the trip by rail and
as this is their first visit to the west
coast they are anticipating a fine
time in taking in the many points of
interest in southern California.
