Sufficient dynamite to "blow up the bay" was discovered on property belonging to the Will Rogers estate in Santa Mon ica canyon by a group of small bo-s, Capt. R. G. Norris, army air repre sentative at the Douglas aircraft works here, reported. Detectives be lieve the explosives may have been stoln from road construction gangs working on the Roosevelt highway. The conjecture also wa3 expressed that the dynamite may have been stolen from the noted humorist's ranch, where Rogers had conducted much road building at his own expense. In A Quandary The person who faces, for the first time, the need for deciding upon a funeral director, is in a quandry in deed if he has given no thought to the matter in advance of the need.

N EB R. $ ; lb- i! ifcaj iie TalM p.--'-- . ftwwa!l4 sB-vwi '5;" VtJu-Cij yv'i-tri' j m55S Rail W orkers in Line for Pension by Congress Act Bill Is Speeded Through the Two Houses and Sent to the White House. Washington. A new railroad pen sion bill was speeded thru both houses of congress within two hours, and sent to the white house. The measure moved thru the senate bo quickly leaders had to hold up the vote until the house bill was mes- rsaged over, so it could be passed in stead of a similar senate measure. On the final vote only three "noes" crept into a chorus of 7G "ayes." They came from Senator Hale (r It. I.). Not a single objection was voiced in the house. Introduced by Senator Wagner (d., N. Y. ) and Representative Crosser (d., O.), the bill is designed to re place the law enacted last session and declared unconstitutional by the su preme court. Pensions under the new , bill would be about the same as in j the old. but the Wagner-Crosser measure does not attempt to levy taxes to finance the program. Taxes would be provided in a separate bill, on which the house ways and means committee is holding hearings. This companion measure would levy a tax cf 4 percent on payrolls against the ralroads and 2 percent on salaries of employes. Chairman O'Connor of the rules committee said unless the tax bill were passed the retirement plan would cost the government 50 mil lions a year. It does not have to be passed at this session, however, be cause the pension law does not be come effective until next March. A three-man board, appointed by the president, would administer it. Tensions, -based upon service and pay, would go as high as $120 a month. $35 higher than the maximum provided under the social security iaw. An amendment wa3 added to the bill excluding rail employes from the general old age pensions. Employes would be eligible for re tirement at the age of 5, or after thirty years of service, tho in the latter case, if the worker was not C5, his retirement pay would be re duced one-fifteenth for each year un der 65. , -'- Service in excess of 30 years, or pay of -more than $300 a month, would be counted in computing an nuities. These would be fixed ,by multiplying the number of years up to SO by 2 percent of the first $50 of monthly pay plus 1 1-2 percent of the next $100 plus 1 percent of the next $150. An employe would not have to re tire at 65 years, but for each year worked after that his retirement pay would be cut one-fifteenth. DEAF AND DUMB IN PRAYER London. One of the strangest and most touching services ever held under- the dome of St. Paul's cathedral saw 700 deaf and dumb persons from fourteen nations pray and sing with out a sound being heard. They were athletes attending the fourth inter national games for the deaf and mute beginning Monday. The service was conducted in the international sigh language. One after the other chap lains and missionaries, some of them also deaf, mounted the lofty pulpit and voicelessly acted out the pray ers, hymns and songs with eloquent looks and gestures. Then the con gregation joined in prayers and hymns. f Weeping Water Wm. Seymore is rejoicing over the arrival of a very fine son who came to grace and bless their home on last Saturday.

The quarry is to be operated by the Jasper Stone company and is not a new quarry but a new opening in order to get more stone, as there is demand for more for work being done on the river.

Beer Is Here Again. To the convenience of those who desire it in Weeping Water and to the detriment of our neighboring city of Manley which was enjoying a very J:ne trade Trom the thirsty ones from Weeping Water while the ban lasted, beer is back. The blanks arrived, ap plication was made and the licenses arrived which allowed the dealers here to sell again. It is to the credit of those who have been selling and who were deprived of the privilege during the time that the license blanks and approval of applications made, that they strictly adhered to the law and kept shut tight. Since they have received their licenses again they are enjoying a good busi ness. Confirmed as Postmaster. The press carried the confirmation of Stirling Amick as the appointee for postmaster of Weeping Water on last Tuesday morning and congratu lations were heard on every hand di rected to Mr. Amick, accompanied by good wishes and from the spontan eous manner in which the greetings came it was evident that the appoint ment met with almost universal ap probation.

An amended ruling on river labor was received Saturday by district river engineering offices here from Works Administrator Hopkins in Washington. The new ruling ex empts certain classes of skilled river labor from the former federal regu lation that 90 percent of the workers must come from the relief rolls. Captain II. B. Loper, district en gineer, explained that the exemp tions cover towboat pilots, engineers and firemen; dragline operators, pile driver engineers, and some of the tractor operators. "Altho the new rules provide that these men need not be taken from the relief rolls. they do provide that they must be obtained thru ice," Captain Loper said. CANNON BLAMES PACKERS Washingtoi. A democratic repre sentative from the farm belt, Clar ence Cannon of Missouri, charged Saturday that packers organized the Detroit housewives "strike" against high meat prices "as a part of their campaign against the processing tax." Cannon drafted for introduction Saturday a resolution calling for a congressional investigation of "who prompted the movement, selected headquarters, edited and supplied the literature used in dissemination of the propaganda, and defrayed the cost of printing, rental of quarters, preparation of placards, and other expenses incident to the agitation. Farmers are optimistic follow- Inn th sapina rains and foresee prospects of a bumper crop. Fall Seeding of Alfalfa May be Started at Once Chance of Winter Killing Grows With Delay Good Var rieties Listed. Despite the fact mat April and May seeding of alfalfa is a little safer than other dates, fall seeding In eastern Nebraska can be advan tageously practiced between Aug. 10 and Sept. 1. the college of agricul ture told farmers who have been in quiring about seeding and cultural practices. Chances of winter killing are greater if seeding is delayed, altho 'under certain conditions seeding as late as Sept. 15 is successful, says Dr. F. D. Keim, chairman of the agronomy department. In central and western Nebraska, seeding dur ing May and June seems most suc cessful. Seeding with a drill, set to sow about one-half inch deep, usually gives a better and more uniform stand 1 11 (111 W 11 V 11 DUltil UiUdUtaDl. ku fifteen pounds of good alfalfa per acre is sufficient. "In buying seed it Is always de sirable to get seed that is plump, a bright olive green or yellow corn and of high germination and pur ity," Doctor Keim declared in an swer to numberous farm questions. "Southern seed is very undesirable for Nebraska conditions, lacking hardiness. Utah and Kansas seed has not been quite so good as the Nebras ka or northern grown seed when tested at the experiment station." Ladak, introduced recently from northern India, is somewhat resist ant to wilt and is a good yielding variety. It is regarded as one of the desirable varieties! for conditions where wilt is severe, but the supply of seed is rather limited. If Ladak is not available, agronomists say the best seed to be had in commercial quantities for conditions where wilt is severe is common alfalfa. Turkestan is generally more re sistant to wilt than domestic alfalfa varieties but is more susceptible to certain other diseases. It is usually less productive. Hardistan, a strain of Turkestan alfalfa being increased by the Nebraska college of agricul ture, is more disease resistant than any other, variety. There are now ap proximately 300 acres of this variety under seed production and agron omists hope there will be some seed available for next year's planting. ROGERS INHERITANCE TAX Los Angeles. Inheritance taxes will take approximately one-fourth of the estimated $2,500,000 estee left by Will Rogers, state inheritance tax officials estimated. If the estate reaches a 5 millions valuation, as some of the late actor's close friends believe it will, taxes will take $1, 716,000 of the total. This amount would include $397,200 for the state, the remainder going to the federal government. Officials pointed out these figures were based on the be lief the widow would get the entire estate, and on the present federal and state tax rates. The assessed valuation of the real and personal property owned in Los Angeles county by the late actor, in cluding his large ranch near Santa Monica, is $226,440. Friends of Rog ers estimated he had earned $3,500, 000 in motion pictures in the last eight years. MATL FRAUD TRIAL SLATED Chicago. Federal Judge Sullivan set Nov. 18 as the date for the mail fraud trial of forty-two defendants in the "Sir Francis Drake estate case" as twenty-nine of those indict ed entered pleas of not guilty. The remaining defendants answered the charges similarly several weeks ago. At the arraignment Oscar M. Hart zell, brought here from Leavenworth penitentiary, where he is serving a ten year sentence as a result of a previous conviction on similar charges, was emphatic in his plea of innocence and asserted he wouldn't "be in prison three months longer."

Schuyleman, pastor; G. H. Palmer, S. S. Supt. "The moving waters are full . of life and health; only In the stag nant waters is stagnation and death." Justice Oliver Wendell HolmeB. This generalization on life is as true for our business, educational, and religious institutions. a3 it is for our fish-hatcheries, mountain streams and stagnant lakes. The faith that quickens the human spirit, the religion that is a challenge to action, the church that accepts the challenge of Christ and does some thing about it, these "are full of life and health." What is true of institutions is equally true of , your life. As long as you keep physically, mentally, and spiritually active you are "full of life and health," but Pi T'HE TEST of Automo- bile Insurance comes whenever you have an accident.
