Town Beard Canvasses Vote
The election in Greenwood this
spring developed a let cf interest and
resulted in a large vote being polled.
In fact, there were more votes cast
than at any time in a geed number
of years. In the canvass of the votes,
it was found that a number of the
voters had written in the name of E.
Li. McDonald on their ballot, but had
not placed a cross in the square op
posite the name and that these were
thrown out when the votes were be
ing counted by the election board.
Inquiry directed to the attorney gen
erals office disclosed the fact that the
state supreme court has ruled that
the writing in of a name on the bal
lot is evidence of the voter's intent
to vote for him regardless of wheth
er he marks an x in the square or
not.
With the recount of the ballets by
the canvassing board it was found
that Mr. McDonald iia;l received the
highest vote of any candidate for a
place on the town board, and lie was
accordingly declared elected.
Seventh District Assembly
Members of the Ilebeckah lodges i
of the seventh district met at the1
Masonic hall in Greenwood cn last!
Thursday. The business session was
held during the afternoon and in the

terest to the occasion.

Doing the Right Thins
The American Legion, which is
always endeavoring to assist those in
need of help, has arranged to pro
vide seed for the growing of a garden
to those who cannot afford to pur
chase the same. In addition, they
are also providing a place for tho
various gardens that may be planted.
One of the members of the organiza
tion, alter he had planted his pota
toes, had a bushel and a half of seed
left, which ho gave to the cause and
which if properly planted and culti
vated during the growing season,
should provide enough spuds to feed
several pecple during the greater part
of the coming winter.
The interest of the Legion in this
worthy project is very commendable,
indeed.
Will Grganizc New District
There is a move on foot at this
time to form a new district for the
subordinate lodges of the I. O. O. F. of

grees. In this way it is hoped to
greatly increase the prcilciency of
all those taking part. This will also
make available for putting on cf the
vcrk two trained degree teams, so
it can le made mora impressive than
would be possible otherwise.
It will take a let cf work to mas
ter the ritualistic ceremonies incident
to conferring the various degrees and
those selected for a place on the team
will be chosen with a view to their
ability to handle it in the best man
r.er possible.
Held School cf Instruction
During the holding cf the Ilebeck
ah assembly here last Thursday, one
of the features of the afternoon pro
gram was a school oi" Instruction. A
goodly part of the membership of the
(various lodges present was enrolled
to receive the instruction thus pro
viding a much more uniform method
of giving the work in the district.
All enjoyed the instruction provided
and derived much good therefrom.

Wyoming, has been visiting with
relatives and friends in Greenwood
and Ashland for some time past and
was a guest at the home cf Mr. and

Ella Marshall, of Ashland, and Mes
dames K. A. Landon and Aaron
Wright formed a party cf four who

Ashland, to visit for the day last

Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Holt are home
frcm a tedious trip which they made
to southwestern Illinois to attend the
funeral cf the husband of a sister of
Mr. Holt. They found the travel dif
ficult due to poor train service. First
they went to Lincoln, from where
they took a train for St. Joseph, Mo.
At that point they were delayed in
getting a train for Hannibal, Mo. Ar
riving at Hannibal on the morning of
the day of the funeral, they went via
auto from there to the point in Illi
nois where the funeral was held, and
afterwards were driven back to Han
nibal, where they caught a train foi
st. Jofeph, then to Lincoln and on
home. During the entire four days
consumed in making the trip, they
were unable to have their clothes off
tr get any perceptible amount cf
sleep, and they were surely tired out
and ready to go to bed when they
arrived home.

Young Teddy
Enlists to Aid
in Campaign
Son oL the Late President Tenders
Seivics in Republican Cause
for Fall Election.
Washington Col. Theodore Roose
velt, Jr., oEertd his services to re
publican leaders in the G. O. P. cam
paign to capture control of congress
next fall. Young "Teddy" made it
clear in a series of conferences with
party chiefs he thinks the time i3
fast approaching when a concerted,
militant attack oa the more vulner
able policies of the new deal would
be the best republican strategy. He
is preparing to make a vigorous on
slaught on "brain trust" experi
ments and preach the gospel of abol
ishing governmental interference
with industry as the best means of
assuring permanent recovery. In a
brief interview Colonel Roosevelt
predicted the republicans would gain
a large number of seats in the next
house of representatives. He de
clined to reduce his predictions to
liguies.
He said many normally republican
districts which fell to the democrats
in president Roosevelt s landslide
victory over Hoover would unques
tionably return to the republican
column in the fall. Other gains are
expected by t2 republicans as the
first flush of enthusiasm over the
democratic administration's achieve
ments gives way to dissatisfaction
and fear that the president's advisers
are planning to go too far, he said.
It is understood, however, repub
lican leaders are not so optimistic
at this time as to expect to gain ac
tual control of the house. Their pres
ent hope is to increase the party's
representation from 115 to about 200
teats, leaving the democrats only a
slender majority. Among those with
whom Colonel Roosevelt conferred
was Representative Wadsworth of
New York, considered a contender for
the republican presidential nomin
ation in 10'ZG.
Small Riot
Snarled by Angry
Taxpayers
Batter Way Through Steel Doors to
Voice Their Protest to Coun
ty Commissioners.
Pottsville, Pa. A crowd of angry
taxpayers, protesting their assess
ments had been raised while coal com
panies were not affected, battered
thru steel doors in the courthouse
annex, seized two county commis
: ioners and hustled them to an indig
nation meeting. Leaders charged
that assessments were increased on
private dwellings in some instances
as high as S00 percent. A mass
meeting was arranged and the com
missioners were ordered to appear.
They declined.
This infuriated the crowd, esti
mated at one thousand persons.
Shouting and jeering, they invaded
an anteroom in the annex and, using
benches as battering rams, forced the
loced doors of the offices of Commis
sioners Brownmillcr and Adamson.
The crowd rushed them to the meet
ing in a courtroom. Peter Iiavolac
and Ray Burchill, clerks caught in
the raclee, were taken along with
the struggling commissioners, lia
volac was beaten and Eurchill's
glasses were broken.
The crowd swarmed into the
courtroom, which seats about five
hundred. Taxpayers and their fol
lowers climbed over seats, perched
cn railings and stood on the judge's
bench where they displayed a ban
ner emphasizing their demands. City
police had restored seme semblance
of order before they were reinforced
by rtate police called from the Tama
qua and Ilazleton barrack". James
H. Kirchncr, minority commissioner,
was at the meeting as the two other
official! were thrust into the room.
Shortly afterward the commission
ers unanimously decided to hold hear
ings on revision of assessments at
public places thruout the township
rather than, with individuals in their
office. The commissioners said they
did not contemplate prosecutions cf
leaders of the disorder.

A GASTRONOMIC REVIEW
I stand and look across the sea
and hear the billows roar,
And gently touch the hand of
Him who led me to the
shore,
In solitude I love to dream of
days we looked for shells.
To decorate a treasured spot
where alone my memory
dwells.
Homer never drained a cup of
sweets more sublime,
Nor does his Iliaid prove that
grace came from rhyme.
But love amidst the dense in-
terpid gloom.
Opened the floodgates of heaven
and gave it plenty of room.
Nestling in the forest by the
restless sea,
Lingers in my memory a long
ing to be,
Where gleams of the beacon
that flashes out bright,
To guide the mariners to steer
their sbi:s aright.
The hills all covered with grass
and trees,
Bow their heads to the lasting
frieze,
That decorates the gorgeous mon
uments formed and built,
By nature that removed the
rocks and silt.
As the great ships pass by the
ope-n door,
And the rays of the moon fall
across ti;e floor,
The joy of living seems to steal
serenely across
My open hearth, ablaze with
fragments of wood and
moss.
That cottage by the sea where
the roses bloom.
And the honey f;uekl2 twines
and shades my room.
The humming bird eips its blos
som for sweets
As the clew drops down upon
the vine it greets.
There stands the oak, the lick-
ory and ash,
These giants cf bearity and
sentinels rash,
And as the last ray of light
gleams in the west,
The cottage and trees go to
rest. J. R. T.

Wool Co-operative MemLcrs vVill
County members oi the Mid-West
Wool Growers association have made
arrangements to pool their wool at
the Farmers Union Grain and Supply
Co., at Weeping Water. The first
advance will be made when the wool
i3 weighed there. From this point it
will be trucked to Fremont and go
in carload lots from there to Boston.
This saves making about four
transactions that wool usually goes
through, thus the profits go to the
grower. The present advance is 23c
per pound for most grades of wool.
The national association aims to keep
the advance at about 75 of the
Boston market. A second advance
will be made after the wool is grad
ed at Boston and a final payment
made at the end of the wool market
ing season. Most of the members re
ceived about 32c last year when the
final settlement was made. Anyone
interested should get in touch with
Fd Lorenson, manager of the Fann
ers Union Grain and Supply company
at Weeping Water. He is handling
the wool and supplies for the asso
ciation in this county.
Gioup Achievement
Two hundred project club mem
bers and friends from Rock Bluff and
Plattscouth precincts were in attend
ance at the group achievement pro
gram at Murray, Friday, April Gth.
The program included an . original
song, readings, vocal and instrumen
tal numbers and a musical comedy,
"The Ranch Frolic." This comedy
depicted the various lessens in the
past year's work. Readings, accord
ian and guitar numbers made this
skit especially enjoyable.
This was the last meeting of the
year for the clubs in the Murray
group. Other groups will hold their
achievement days cn the following
dates:
Louisville, Wednesday, April 11th
at 1:30.
Nehawka Auditorium, Wednesday,
April ISth at 1:30.
Eagle, Methodist church, Thurs
day. April 19th at 1:30.

Feeders Day Program
Programs for the annual livestock
feeders day which will be held at
the Agricultural College, Lincoln,
Friday, April 20th, have been re
ceived in the Farm Bureau office.
The morning sessions will be divided
into programs for the men and pro
gram for the women. The morning
session for the men will be held at

the Activities building, starting at
9:15. The morning session for the
women will be held in Room 306,
Agricultural Hall. The afternoon
session will be a general program
for both men and women, at the Ac
tivities Building.
Special attention is drawn to the
two principal speakers on the after
noon program. C. A. Cobb, chief of
the cotton division, AAA, Washing-
ton, 1). C, has for his topic, "Cattle, 1
Cotton and Commerce." The cotton
program is one year ahead of the
com belt. Furthermore Mr. Cobb has
been closely associated with congresa
in the development and passage of
the Bankhead bill for enforced con
trolled production. He is a tplendid
speaker. We feel confident it will be
well worth vour time to find out
what the south is doing as told by
Mr. Cobb.
Mr. James E. Poole or Chicago has
an interesting topic, "My Opinion
Take It Ore Leave It." He has a
very unique method of telling what
he think-!, jje does net mince words.
I am eure everyone will find him a
very interesting speaker. He has had
one car to the ground listening to
omens pertaining to the cattle mar
ket for so long that he has developed
an uncanny ability at forecasting
what is around the corner.
Of special interest on the women's
program in the morning is a talk by
Helen Reader on "Our Experience
With Lard for Cake Baking." Many
ether worthwhile topics will be dis
cussed. Families who are planning
on attending the program should try
to Le there promptly at 9:15 so that
you may have a chance at the prizes
to be given.
Hhubarb and Bate Pie
With the oncoming of rhubarb
fresh from the garden, we believe
the following recipe for rhubarb and
date pie will appeal to most families:
1 recipe of plain pastry.
2 c. or lb. rhubarb.
1 c. or 'i lb. dates or raisins.
23 c. sugar.
3 T. flour.
1 egg.
Mix the sugar and flour, add to
the beaten egg. Cut rhubarb in about
one inch pieces and chop the dates.
Put in pi dish which has been lined
with the pastry. Cover with a top
crust or with a "lattice." Bake in a
hot oven for about twenty-five or
thirty minutes.
