SMALL RIOT AT UNION
From Wednesday's Dally
Sheriff Homer Sylvester and De
puty Sheriff Thomas Walling, were at
Union last night where they were
called by an outbreak occurring at
the camp of an extra gang of the
Missouri Pacific track workers.
It seems that one of the men, Don
Juan Salvador, a Mexican, and John
Jackson, a negro, had become In
volved in a quarrel, the men suffer
ing from the intense heat or other
causes, decided that the affair re-
quired violence to settle. The Mex-j
ican had taken his favorite' fighting
weapon, a knife, and started in to
carve sections off the person of the
negro, who singing, "That's Why
Darkies Were Born," grabbed a
shovel and proceeded to place the
Mexican out of commission. The men
had their wounds bound up and not
desiring to make complaint of each
other were allowed to remain in the
camp and carry on their work.

Bolt Strikes
Guard Camp
During 'War'
Infantry, Medical Regiment and Di
vision Train Start Daily
Drills at Ashland.
Camp Ashland, Aug. 7. A light
ning bolt which, struck a tree only a
few yards in front of the headquar
ters of the national guard camp here
lent a r;alistie touch to the mimic
battle in progress Monday after
noon. The bolt knocked a telephone from
tie hands of Maj. Frank B. O'Con-
nell. adjutant, and knocked Lieut.
L. J. Laughlin out of a tent into a
ditch. Lieut. W. C. Wood, in the
same tent, was stunned.
Rain drenched the camp on the
opening day, fulfilling a prediction
of Adjutant General Paul.
By noon all units of the state's
guard were in camp, the earliest
boar -nil have ever arrived,-General
Paul said. Although rosters had not
been brought to headquarters, the
general said approximately 1,700 en
listed men and 128 officers were on
the military reservation. On the
grounds were the infantry regiment,
the medical regiment and the 35th
division train.
No horses are at the reservation
this year, due to economy measures,
and even Governor C. W. Bryan will
have no horse to ride when he comes
here for the annual review near the
end of the 15-day training period.
But there are lots of mules, Gen
eral Paul added, and sufficient mo
tor trucks on hand to do the heavy
work.
All troops came by train except
the motorized units and Company F
of the 144th infantry which made
the trip from Hartington to Camp
Ashland by bus.
Daily they will drill five hours
and study three hours. The rest of
their time may be devoted to recrea
tion, provided, of course they do
not become assigned to extra duty
such as potato peeling, scrubbing
and other chores for military men.
SERVE NEHAWKA MEAT
At the Century of Progress res
taurants on the "Swift Bridge of
Service," the choicest meats are
served from the farms of the great
west.
Parr Young of Nehawka is the
latest of the group of noted cattle
raisers from many sections of theJ
country who have won "blue flags"
announcing that choice beef, from
their herds, is being offered to hun
gry fair-goers.
The steers fed by Mr. Young were
purchased several weeks ago through
the Walters and Dunbar Commission
firm, at the Union Stock Yards in
Chicago. The ribs and loins of these
cattle were then carefully aged for
the Crown Food Company, which op
erates the restaurants on the Swift
Bridge of Service.
As a tribute to the producer, the
menus in these restaurants carry
blue "flags" announcing that the
steaks and roasts are from the un
usually fine cattle fed by Mr. Young.
The story is going about that the
Indians in Oklahoma . are moving
from the lowlands to the highlands
in anticipation of a flood. The way
we feel right now, if we could be
sure of a good flood, we'd move right
down in a hollow.

Death Comes to
Former Cass
County Lady
Mrs. Carl Willonghby, Formerly Miss
Helen Hirz, Dies at Omaha
Hospital Tuesday.
Mrs. Carl "Wllloughby, 25, former
resident or this county, died Tuesday
at an Omaha hospital following a
short illness, bringing to the mem
bers of the family circle the greatest
sorrow in the taking away of this
young wife and mother.
The deceased was formerly Miss
Helen Hirz, daughter of Henry Hirz,
who was killed in action in France in
September, 1918, serving with the
A. E. F. Since the death of the
mother which preceded that of the
father, the two daughters made their
home with relatives, the deceased
with her aunt, Mrs. William Schutz
on the farm near Murdock.
The Schutz family later moved to
the vicinity of Fort Crook where
Helen made her home until her mar
riage some five years ago to Carl Wll
loughby, who is a sergeant with the
17th infantry at Fort Crook.
There are surviving the husband
and four small children, the oldest j
four and the youngest five days old,
one sister, Mrs. Hershel Dew of Om
aha, and a large number of other
relatives.
In the hour of their sorrow the
members of the family will have the
deepest sympathy of the many
friends over the county.
A DANGEROUS PASTIME
One of the residents of the north
portion of the city has a fine water
melon patch and which proved too
tempting to two boys one night this
week. They had visited the patch
and discovered that the owner of
the patch was also on the job. The
two boys were sprinkled with shot
that did some damage but not ser
ious as the shots were fired from
some distance. The owner of the
patch, however, has secured himself
a ten guage shotgun and the next
visitors are liable to be much more
seriously Injured.

Prepare to
Handle Primary
Election News
Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
to Co-operate with the As
sociated Press.
Election news for breakfast! Ac
cording to J. N. Allison, state man
ager for the Associated Press with
offices in Lincoln, long distance tele
phone service will be employed ex
clusively for gathering and spread
ing the return of the primary elec
tion which will be held on Tuesday,
August 14th.
The plan for handling the elec
tion returns, briefly described, is as
follows: Associated Press represen
tatives in each of the 93 counties or
concentration points, begin to tab
ulate the returns from the precinct?
of that county immediately after tie
polls close. At stated periods they
telephone them direct to the Asso
ciated Press office in Lincoln where
a staff of ten telephone operators,
especially trained, take the count of
each state and congressional candi
date and pass them on to a tabulator.
This method continues until .all
the returns are in and tabulated.
Eerause of the speed of long distance
service, together with the personal
contact with the press representative
in the field, the Associated Press, ac
cording to Mr. Allison, was able to
complete the election job of 1932 a
day ahead of any previous election
returns. The plans for handling the
primary election returns was worked
out by engineess of the Linroln Tele
phone & Telegraph company.

Farmers May
Control the Crop
Supplies in 1935
Plan Hatching Which Sails for
Government Loans on Wide
Range of Produce.
Wr, qIi in crl nn A p i frn r. t i r rfOD !
loan plan which would leave control
of 1925 supplies in the hands ol
farmers who grow them is hatching
.n the farm administration.
Modeled after this year's corn and
cotton loans, the plan will call for
government loans on a wide range of
other crops. There will be a stipu
lation that suDulies must be sold
.vhen prices rise to a certain point.
Last year the government ad
vanced farmers 10 cents a pound on
itored cotton, and 45 cents a bushel
on corn sealed in trib3 or ware
houses. This pegged prices at those
leveis and officials say the plan was
a success.
Selling at Profit.
As prices advanced beyond those
levels recently farmers began sell
ing crops, paying off loans -and mak
ing a profit for themselves. The
farmer was continuously assured of
at ler.st those prices and the govern
ment was sure of recouping its in
vestment as long as the price stay
ad at cr above the loan value.
In the case of cotton, the plan
said it must be sold when the price
reached 15 cents. This, officials said,
prevents the price from rising too
far since the flow to market when
cotton reaches that point will tend
toward stabilization.
The farm administration declares
'.he idea will assist farmers in hold
ing their crops instead of selling at
harvest time when marketings are
ordinarily heavy and prices conse
quently low......
They will thus be able to obtain
some cash, keep their crops readily
marketable as needed, and sell them
xt any time the price ranges between
the loan value and the upper limit.
Keep Supplies at Level.
The program would be co-ordinated
with Secretary Wallace's idea
lor "ever-normal" granaries. In
bountiful years the stored grains
would be held off the market. Own
ership would be returned to farmers
without repayment of the loans if
they would agree to cut production
the next season. Thus supplies would
be kept at about the level of con
sumption plus amounts assured of
sales abroad.
Again pointing to this year's corn
loan program, officials said that
since the price has gone above GO
cents per bushel farmers have re
paid loans on about 20 million bush
els of the 270 million bushels stored
last fall.
Many, however, are retaining the
grain on tlielr farms because tne
drouth is curtailing feed supplies.
May Sell Part.
Later, if prices continue to ad
vance, part of it may be cold to ray
off government loans and the re
mainder fed to prospectively high-
priced hogs during the winter.
The expanded storage plan would
call for increased space on farms for
sealing grains, officials admit, but
they expressed confidence that suffi
cient funds could be made available
for building loans, possibly through
the farm credit administration's
production credit associations or co
operative banks.
Plans are yot in a nebulous stage
but officials backing them are deter
mined to bring them to evecution in
time to give farmers the ultimate
advantage from crop3 they produce
next year.
