France and Great Britain are ready to let Chancellor Hitler buy more guns and airplanes while they are limited in armaments, it was indicated by the government in a memorandum to England. The two nations were snown to oe in agreement that a new arms limita tion conference is necessary, but the question of a parley was viewed as one which should be decided by all countries at Geneva. It was said the two powers now believe the only way out of the present disarmament im passe is to throw all the old legal arguments into the ashcan and start ever with new premises. Disarm ament was regarded as a thing of the past and its replacement by "arms readjustment" was urged by the communication to Britain. HOLD HEARING ON ESTATE From Saturday's Dally This morning the equipment and machinery of the D. T. Reichstadt shoe repair shop on upper Main street was removed to Clarinda, Iowa, where Mr. Reichs:tadt will be located in the future, having purchased a re pair shop there and to which he will add his own equipment.

TAX BOTH CORN AND MONEY An estimated 48,000,000 bushels of Nebraska corn owned by 40,000 farmers upon which the federal gov ernment has lent an estimated $21, 00,000 is taxable in the crib and if any of the proceeds of these loans are on hand or are on deposit in banks the money also is taxable. That both the corn in crib and any money as proceeds on hand are tax able are the instructions given to county assessors, said State Tax Com missioner Smith, who had been ap pealed to by a county assessor for ad vice. Smith said Assistant Attorney General Ayres gave an opinion Feb. 1C so advising the state board of tax ation. Smith admitted the ruling means double taxation, but he said it ap pears to bo the law adn it was his opinion that not much of the money lent by the federal government on the corn would be found on hand or deposited in banks to the credit of the owner. The tax in each case is to be assessed against the owner of the corn and owner of the money. Money is taxed at 5 million on the dollar. Corn is taxed at the prevail ing property tax rate in the district where it is found. Smith said the corn is treated the same as property under chattel mortgage, the owner being required to pay the tax. LOUISVILLE RETAD?S BOARD The voters at Louisville Tuesday returned to office the three retiring members of the village board, Dr. E. II. Worthman, C. A. Gauer and John H. Busche, they all receiving good majorities for the offices. C. E. Pettit and Forest Brunson are the holdover members of the board, Mr. Pettit serving as the mayor of Louis ville at the present time. Dr. Worthman and LaRue Y.'il liams were named as members of the board of education at the election. From Friday's Daily A hearing was held this morning in the county court in the estate of Charles E. Noyes, deceased, who in hia lifetime was one of the promin ent residents of the county. Mr. Noyes had made a bequist of some $20,000 to the Wesleyan university many years ago, claim for which was filed against the estate. The value of the estate, however, had deceased greatly in the past few years and the heirs at law in their presentation of the case sought to have the dower rights of the widow protected against the claim due on the note, contend ing that her half should not apply n othe division of the other property. GARDEN CLUBS ORGAN IZED IN THE SCHOOLS , The Catholic Daughters of Amer ica held their regular monthly meet ing this week at the home of Mrs. Frank Mullen, a large number of the members being in attendance at the gathering. The court received with deep re gret the resignation of Madam Grand Regent, Mrs. Mary Rea, whose health does not permit her former unlimited activities in the court. Mrs. Mary Creamer, vice regent of the court was unanimously selected for the position of regent to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna tion of Mrs. Rea. Mrs. A. G. Bach, one of the active workers of the court was selected as vice regent. The social meeting on April ISth will be at the home of Mrs. John Bergmann. 'GLIDER TRAINS' FORESEEN London. The first clider to be towed by an airplane across the Eng lish channel, a possible forerunner of aerial trains, arrived In London with a 23 year old English girl at the helm. Joan Meakin, the pilot, hitchhiked all the way from Frank fort, Germany, to begin the trip at Ostend. At IleEton airdrome, London, she cast off the 200 foot towing cable, performed gliding evolutions and landed without mishap. The theory of glider trains is that with the de velopment of aviation gliders could be hooked to a big plane. They would cast off and land freight and passen gers at any destination without the locomotive plane slackening speed. m P H I N B p ii H K if N y if H g ii M if M is j if ii B jg B B H Pi ja pj ji if ii 5 ii jrj if N 3 B n ii if p pi a Plat tsmoufh's Leading Cash Store RED 'A'-tle All of the mild, mellow smooth ness of superior Santos Coffees, freshly roasted, freshly ground for you.
