A survey conducted by the bankruptcy division of the fed eral court here has revealed that benefits to Nebraska farmers under the Frazier-Lemke amendment to the federal bankruptcy act have been practically nil. Since last July 1, the Burvey re vealed, a total of 441 farmers have filed applications for debtor relief under the amendment. Of the 441 petitioners, an undetermined num ber have succeeded in getting hear ings with their creditors before a conciliation commissioner. However, Miss Florence A. Moore, deputy clerk of the court, says, "Very, very few creditors have accepted the settle ment." With debtor settlements failing, the next step la regular bankruptcy proceedings and "many of the farm er debtors are resorting to it," she added. Omaha and Lincoln divisions of the federal court have each received a total of 115 farmer-debtor petitions. The Chadron district has had only two In the last seven months. East month thirty-nine petitions were filed here and forty-six at Lincoln. CONSERVATION PLAN MAPPED Chicago.

Head theml doctors Know! ... and they use liquid laxatives You'd use a liquid, too, if you knew bow much better it makes you feel. A liquid laxative can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is the secret of reed and safe relief from constipation. Just ask your own doctor about this. Ask your druggist bow popular liquid laxatives have become. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help and the right amount of help. When the dose is repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until the bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without aid. People who have experienced this comfort, never return to any form of help that can't be regulated 1 The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara. and these are natural laxatives that form no habit. It relieves a condition of biliousness or sluggishness without upset.

SYRUP PEPSIN Liquor Locked Snugly within Committee Den Special Group Is Unable to Agret Child Labor Amendment Is on Main Deck. Liquor legislation again fell into a hopeless deadlock late Friday Chairman Dugan's special house com mittee, after completing its second perusal of the substitute bill, mean ing the Wright bill with one major and a few minor amendments, tossed in the sponge with little or no hope of reaching a decision Saturday. ' The chairman tried once more to induce his colleagues to vote to send out the substitute and the Wright bill proper In order that the house may determine for itself the import ant state control feature, dividing line between majority and minority in committee. The majority wrote state control into its substitute. The majority, by twist of luck, was turned Into a minority with two of its members. Dr. Cummins and Em- mett Dinan, absent. Word was given that the former will not return until Monday. This leaves the forces tied at five-all. If Dr. Cummins is absent Saturday, a move to send out the substitute presumably will result in a tie vote and no go. If attempt is re peated to send both measures out, unless there is at least one conver sion, again a tie is the best in sight and a tie is rated in legislative cir cles as a loss. House Alone in Saddle. There is noUiing to prevent the house, on its own floor, if it so de sires, from making the attempt t force out the substitute, the Wright bill or the two of them. The commit tee majority, with all cn deck, pre sumably consists of Havekost, Steele, Obblnk, Weber, Dinan and Cummins while rumor lists on. the minority or Wright bill side, Chairman Dugan, Long, Burr, Sallander and Ratcllff. This rating is unofficial and may be subject to challenge. With the ranks of the majority crippled when the committee met late Friday, it is possible that a minority may have taken control. It did not elect to do so. The members of the minority are not sold 100 per cent on the Wright bill. They do, however, prefer It to the substitute with its state control feature. This state control is made mandatory in sofar as concerns wholesaling of li quor. The substitute gives option to the commission as to whether or not it shall set up a system of state distilleries. Members of the minority in conr- mlttee, majority for the time being. urged that If both bills go out, the membership may decide the question of control right off the bat. Steele, opposing the Wright bill, said that the Issue was settled in committee, 6 to 4, Ratcliffe absent, against re porting the administration hill and that such record should stand. Otto Weber Insisted that if the Wright bill goes out, he will want his own liquor bill, not considered in commit tee, produced. From the existing status in committee, some members of the latter may not be averse to having the house proper take command. If such command Is not taken be fore a committee majority is on hand, the substitute presumably will be sent out with recommendation from the majority of six. The report will not be alone. There will be a minor ity report headed by Chairman Du gan recommending that the house se lect H. It. 44 8, Wright bill, in pref erence to the committee substitute, Wright bill with trimmings and a new number. That should inspire debate for a day. TEUCKES IDENTIFIES GOODS Wehoo, March 7.

Reviving pioneer days, the federal government at Washington completed plans for a sample migration from the drouth blighted northwest to Matanusca valley, under Alaska's northern lights. Two hundred families and 400 un married laborers are to be transferred this spring, their travel and prelim inary expenses advanced them under the lellef administration's rural re habilitation program, It was an nounced. They will be selected immediately after a conference next week of state officials with Lawrence Westbrook, head of the rural rehabilitation divi sion. Claims will be staked out on 8.000 acres of public land in the val ley. The first shipload will leave Se attle or San Francisco around May 1. The remainder will follow later In the month. Landing at Seward the settlers will be moved with their baggage to Anchorage, fifty miles from the valley, then will be shel tered under tents. Officials said the summer would be devoted to clearing a part of the forty acre homestead tracts allotted each family, building cabins and a school, and preparing for the first crop next spring. Some of the 400 unmarried men will operate land clearing machinery supplied by the Rural Rehabilitation corporation. Others will work at a. co-operative creamery to supply An chorage, the Willow Creek gold field, and nearby coal mine communities. Grains and peas are expected to be the chief products from the 100 day growing season. Clearing the re mainder of the land, officials said, will give the settlers plenty to do in the long winter months.

Conduct of Grazing Confer ence Assailed Denver Meeting Was Not Advertised Properly, Wyoming Stock man Claims. Washington. Action by the house public lands committee on proposed amendments to the Taylor grazing act was again delayed as the com mittee became involved in a prolong ed discussion of the conduct of the recent national grazing conference in Denver. Center of the storm which broke in the committee was J. Elmer Brock, a livestock man from Kaycee, Wyo., and past president cf the Wyo ming Stockgrowers association. Brock threw his hat on the hat rack, identified himself and then testified the Denver meeting which considered amendments to the Taylor act was not representative of west ern livestock men anrtl the time and place of the meeting was unknown to many who were in Denver for the conference. This assertion was denied by R. G. Poole, assistant solicitor for the in terior department. Poole declared Erock's remarks constituted a "ser ious charge" to which he took ex ception. Several members of the committee all started to speak at the same time. When Chairman Derouen (d., La.), restored order, Representative White (d., Ida.) who has repeatedly indi cated his opposition to the amend ments, said he believed Brock was right. Repressntative Robinson (d., Utah) sided with Poole. When Brock got an opportunity to proceed he told the committee the meeting in question was held after most of the stockmen had left Den ver, that it was not properly adver tised and "rather unfair in the man ner in which many were invited." White said he wanted the record to show that representatives of the interior department and forestry service failed to prepare and publish a definite program for those attend ing the conference. "I am not satisfied with the repre sentation at the meeting which con sidered the amendments now before the committee." Brock said he saw no necessity for removing, the. 80 mil lions acres limitation on public lands which may be included in grazing districts as provided in the principal ameadment under discussion. He told the committee the stockmen fear a broadening of the powers of the secretary of the interior. HUEY DECLINES INVITATION Washington. Senator Long of Louisiana, Wednesday wrote H. D. Strunk, publisher of the McCook, Neb., Gazette, declining to partici pate in a debate with General Hugh Johnson at McCook. Strunk had pro posed that Long and Johnson debate their differences in McCook at a time agreeable to both and promised to the event. In declining the Invita tion, Long said he did not enter debates.

Ice Eemains routh of Eridges, Snificient Moves to Open Waterway. The Missouri river at this point has fallen Feveral feet from the height of Friday morning and reliev ing the condition that late Thursday and early Friday threatened to cause damage to the lowlands on both sides cf the river. The huge banks of Ice still remain in the river but these have yielded in several places and a small channel opened that is carrying off the vater that had been dammed back of the huge ice barrier on Thursday even ing. With the opening up of the channel there was a relief brought to the dwellers in the low bottom lands who faced a serious problem if the ice had remained a few hours longer. The ice started opening Thursday when the weather warmed to some extent and as it is porous type it is thought will not cause any great damage until the river Is entirely ; opened up. The contracting companies that ! have rig3 in the river and material j-ards along the banks in the vi cinity of the river were fearful Thursday that the rising water might cause them great property damage but this trouble is avoided fcr the present at least. mm cm? filial s - WITH THIS Mere is the fire you need to drive oyer trie muddy, icy, slippery roads this winter.
