' (Special)— An unusual experiment In inter urban transportation is to be tried out here for the next six months. The Omaha St Lincoln company op erates a line from Omaha to Pap ilion through the village of Ralston. The more frequent service has been between Omaha and Ralston. A little while ago two enterprising Omahans put two busses in operation between the city and the village, and by running them Just ahead of the street ear schedule, took most of its passengers away. The railway ! commission took a hand and re quired the bus men to run all day andc-at regular intervals, spacing them between the street cars on the schedules. The Interurban company then car ried the war to the bus men by buy ing two busses of Its own. It now has found these to be so much more profitable to operate that it has nsked and secured the consent of the commission to try the substituted service for half a year. HAS SOLVED CAR SHORTAGE PROBLEM Lincoln, Neb., Oet. ■. (Special)— Railway Commissioner H. G. Tay lor, wlio as head of the regional com mittee has in charge the supplying of cars for grain movements, say! that the reports received and studied In his office show that at last an effective method of preventing car shortages has been devised. A much larger movement, than the average has been handled this year so far without delay. While the shipper has failed absolutely In the co-oper ative plan arranged, In that he still takes all the time he wants and can get In hnndling ears furnished, the state commission, the Interstate com mission and the car service depart ment of the American railway as sociation, by combining their pow ers over the railroads, have solved the biggest part of the problem. In this way they have kept a larger per centage of owned cat* on the western roads, have stopped the stealing for temporary use of cars from the strong roads by the weak ones and have expedited return of cars when they go off the system. Mr. Taylor snys that Nebraska roads have al most 100 per cent of their cars on their own tracks. DEMAND TAXES FROM A FAILED BANK Lincoln, Neb., Oct. ' (Special)— The county of Lancaster has gone Into supreme court to find out 1* the deposit guaranty fund cannot be made to pay the $1,700 taxes due It. levied when the American State of Lincoln was still alive. The re ceiver says that being In Its essence a state fund It is not liable fi» taxes. The legal point Is unusual. The county says that when the re ceiver took charge there was ample personaltv with which to pay the taxes, which are a prior lien to the claims of depositors. The receiver used this money and a part of the guaronty fund to pay off depositors In full, and the county Insists that when that Is done the Inviolability of the fund against tax claims Is no longer available as a defense. RED CROSS ROLL CALL TO START NOVEMBER 11 Lincoln, Neh., Oct. -—The annual Red Cross roll call will start In Ne braska November 11, and continue until Thanksgiving, It was decided at a state meeting of chapter dele gates of the organization here. The newly formed state control council of the Red Cross will have charge of the roll call, L. W. Trester, of Omaha, was ap pointed chairman of the council un til the annual meeting next spring, and O. T. Lastman, of Omaha, was named financial advisor. Represen tatives from each of the six con gressional districts were named. More than 100 delegates attended the sessiop. FALL FLIGHT OF WILD GEESE IS ON O’Neitl, Neb., Oct. The fall flight of the geese Is on and as a consequence so Is the fall flight of the real hunters. The vanguard of the thousands that will come down from Canada and the Arctic regions this fall reached the Niobrara river Friday night and early Saturday morning, and a few hours later the lakes and bottom lands of the cen tral part of norlh Nebraska were alive with them. Hunters were quick to respond to the honking call to arms. Deputy Sheriff Bergstrom, Fred Lowry and John Kersenbrock, all of O’Neill, wore the first In with a sub stantial kill. Saturday afternoon they drove their car full tilt into a flock on nn open meadow and dropped 14 birds before the startled flock could get away In the heavy wind. Another heavy flight was on Sunday night and a number of bags are reported from around Fish and Bony lakes In southern Rock county. IT WAS A REAL SNAKE-KILLING AFFAIR Harrisburg, Neb., Oct. * "Special) —A large rattlesnake den was dis covered in the hills of northern Ban ner county by Idle Cross, Otto Yer.ge and Henry Cross.

The negroes in France find almost ill positions open to them. There are four negro members of the Cham ber of Deputies—MM. Candace, Diagne, Jlol.sneuf and Logrosllliere. l’arla has five negro lawyers, more than twenty negro doctors, and Prince Tovalou will lecture this win ter in tfco important school of social science. Mixed marriages are permitted. During the war, however, the French government frequently warned the white women against these unions, stating that their black sweethearts were not sufficiently civilized to make good husbands for white Frenchwomen. No legal opposition can be interposed to the marriage of a black citizen with a white wom an. These unions, however, are scarce, because of the difference in race and color, although there is no feeding of revulsion toward the black race. Nevertheless. Professor Charles Rlchet is the only scientist who has said that nil contact between the two races ought to be avoided. And 'In the latest competition of the well known publication Eve, it was de nied that there is any reason at ail against the marriage of a whits woman with a negro. it is this policy of generosity and co-operation of France toward her black citizens that justifies—if this is necessary—the participation of negro troops in the national defense. Ruling Works Injustice. From the Des Moines Tribune. The Evening Tribune is informed that there was a lot of state money on deposit In the United State bank. The state treasurer, Burbank, has a relative in the bank and had large deposits with hira. There was also a lot of county, city and school money on deposit. The supreme court has held that public moneys where a hank closes are preferred, those moneys must be paid out first. This means, in the opinion of men who ought to know, that the small depositor will get mighty little If he gets anything at all. If (his Is so, the state in particular ought not to draw a dollar of its deposit until every small depositor is paid. The condition of the hank has been known to the state banking de partment for a year or more, the state insurance department must have known of the relation of the bank to the Insurance company, the whole business should have been in vestigated long, long ago and brought to rights. It is scandal to Iowa that we have state departments that will wink at what has been going on and cover it up until a lot of wage earners are fleeced. The Obvious Way. From the Sydney Bulletin. •'But, dear, I can’t afford a chinchilla for you. The bank’s overdrawn.” ’’Well, try some other bank—they can't all be overdrawn, darling.” Stephen G. Porter of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House Foreign affairs committee, will again head the Ameri can delegation to the International conference for the control of narcotics in Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 17.

FEEDERS GAIN BIG ADVANTAGE Nebraska Rail Commission Orders “Feed in Transit” Rates Walthlll, Neb., Oct. - (Special)— The stock men of normeast Nebraska along the C. St. P. M. & O. railroad have been trying for a long time to get a feed in transit rate privilege and freight rates accordingly. A feed in transit privilege gives the farmer the advantage of buying feeder cattle on the range and have them shipped to his local station and fed on his farm for a period of months and then shipped to the mar ket for one freight rate the same ac though they had been shipped from the range to the terminal market. In most instances this is a saving of the entire freight from the feed ing point to the terminal market and means the saving of thousands of dollars in freight rates for the far mers of Thurston county alone. In August the Thurston County Farm Bureau began working on this problem and Mr. Winter, the county agent, filed a complaint before the railways to show cause on or before October 3, why a feed in transit rate" should not be put in force. The hearing was held and Mr. Winter attended and with the help of C. B. Steward, sec retary of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, the case was presented. The railway company was repre sented by its attorneys and Mr. Win ter and Mr. Steward fought the case for the farmers alone. The Nebraska Railway Commission made it findings and sent out its order Saturday, deciding the case in favor of the farm bureau and against the railroad companies. The rail roads are now being compelled to furnish ‘‘feed in transit” rates at all points along the C. St. P. M. & O. in northeastern Nebraska. Any stock men wishing to take advantage of these rates should immediately make application to the railway company through their local agent and if rates are not granted, apply to the farm bureau. WAYNE COUNTY FARMER IS SERIOUSLY INJURED Wlnslde, Neb., Oct. ~ (Special)— Emil Bronzinski, a .armer living near Wlnside, was seriously injured about the head and face while de horning cattle.

IOWA’S “ONIONS KING" DIES ON CROSSING r'avrnport, la., Oct *' — William Schutter, of Pleasant Valley, la. known as “Iowa’s oninon king” was Instantly killed Monday when his automobile was struck by a freight train a few miles from the city. *.RE GIVEN PENALTIES Watertown, S. D., Oct.. - -Steve McNaught and Charlie Anderson, Sioux City youths, drew heavy pen altles in the local municipal court when *hey entered pleas of guiltj to possession of liquor on a public highway. Judge Marquis imposed a sentence on each of $600 fine and 60 days in the county Jail. The two youths were arrested several days ago on a highway just outside the city limits of Watertown by officers who stopped their coupe and took about five gallons of liquor from It. Interstate Commerce Commission Would Go Slow on Merging Railroads From the New York Times T^ie merging of all the railway systems at once, according to the tentative plans of the Interstate Commerce Commission, is. theoretically desirable but economically and practically difficult There are many clashing interests to be reconciled. More pro gress can be made taking shorter steps at the beginning, when- . ever the commission holds any proposed consolidation to be in> the public interest. For that purpose the Transportation act can cels all “State or Federal” prohibitions in the nature of anti trust laws or otherwise. Sfate laws are more favorable than Federal. In several states minorities cannot indefinitely oppose consolidations approved by majority interests. In New York and New Jersey the majority required to bring the minority into agreement is two-thirds. Probably the Interstate Commission would welcome private agreement for consolidation in the public interest. The recep tion of the Erie-Nickel Plate merger was so cordial that it has. been followed by a proposal of the consolidation of the Eastern trunk lines into four systems instead of the nine suggested by the Interstate Commission. If these rivals can compromise, they might either divide up the New England roads or the latter might be erected into a sort of universal terminal acceptable to all, and facilitating access to coal consuming territory from coal producing territory. The special interests of this city would be cared for by the proposal that the Baltimore & Ohio should have j the New Jersey Central, but that the New York Central should have compensatory trackage rights. That would also meet the port Authority’s objection to the development of individual terminal properties instead of a terminal available to all. Con solidation by agreement is the best solution of the dilemma cre ated by the law substituting consolidation by force for the laws making consolidation conspiracy in restraint of trade. The Effect of Example. We scatter seeds with careless hand, And dream we ne'er shall see them , more; But for a thousand years Their fruit appears In weeds that mar the land Or healthful shore. The deeds we do. the words we say— Into still air they seem to fleet, We count them ever past; But they shall last— In the dread Judgment they And we shall meet. I charge thee by the years gone by For the love sake of brethren dear, Keep thou the one true way In work and play, Lest in that world their cry Of woe thou hear. —John Keble. Moral Cancers. From the Los Angeles Times. Never was there a time in Amer ican history when the stage and the so-called best-sellers enjoyed the freedom and liberty of expression they possess today. Every schoolboy knows where he can buy a copy of Rabelais and every flapper has tack led the Decameron and found it dull. Certain well-meaning but impractical reformers are trying to have the laws made more stringent. The clean books bill In the state of New York was personified stupidity. In their dealings with the newspapers, maga zines and theaters the reformers have failed even more miserably than in their dealings with books. In the middle nineties, when a few "new-thought” magazines that sprang up in that day began to print reproductions of more or less nude paintings and statuary, the thing was a nine days’ wonder. Today tne news-stands are piled high with magazines devoted frankly and ex clusively to sex. Hundreds of writers make their living producing this gar bage; its mcrchanting has become one of the largest of American industries. Against all this poor Anthony Com stock struggled, sweated and died. There is no form of printed porno graphy that is not on open sale today and little that is not heavily in de mand. The book shelf of the most innocent flapper now contains books that would have made her grand mother yell for the police. What she calls dull and pious books would have sent her grandmother into a swoon. Surely, here is a problem for the psychologists. Hughes’ Tactics. From the Wichita Eagle. Among the pieces of heavy artil lery recently unlimbered on the big front, which is the north central states, was Secretary of State Hughes who hadn’t figured very much in the previous fighting. He made a big speech at Indianapolis. There was an interesting twist to this speech. He began by saying that the campaign had reduced itself to a battle between Coolidge and La Follette and that the real issue wai Coolidge or Brvan. That was strict ly according to the rules and reguia- I tions laid down for republican speakers at headquarters. Hughes lasted on this tack about one-third of the way. At least two-thirds of his address was devoted entirely to Davis. He went after Davis very thoroughly. He forgot about the real issue, as emphasized in the begin ning, until the final paragraph when he wound up by saying that after ad it was Coolidge vs. La Foliette. Or rather he didn’t forget at all. Hughes is no amateur campaigner. Hughes knew very well that the democratic drive in the north central states couldn’t be dismissed with a non chalant wave of tfe'i hand. Hughe* knew that every sign points to a terrific battle in Indiana. He is al together too smalt a campaigner and too ab.i a speaker to think ho could cut any ice by simply ignoring the Davis bid for votes. It can’t he done there. It will take a lot of real bounding to beat Davis in this region, if it can be done at all, and Hughes knew it when he spent two-thirds of his time talking about Davis, not Coolidge vs. La Follette. The Homestake mine, at Lead. S. D., the largest gold producing mine in the United States, continued operations gninterruptedly In 1923, according to the Department of the Interior, as re ported by C. W. Henderson, of the Geological Survey. Dividends were paid monthly. Because of the in creased cost of mining, the Trojan mine was closed in February, 1923, af ter many years of operation, riacer operations contributed a small quanti ty of gold. The total metal produc tion in South Dakota in 1923 was 16, 319,000 in gold and 94,235 ounces of silver, as compared with 36,517,788 in gold and 118,760 ounces of silver In 1922.

Another Woman Nominated For Governor. From the New York World. Wyoming democrats hava nomin ated Mrs. Nellie G. Ross for governor. This lady-governor business is get ting serious, isn’t it? And it raises a number of perplexing questions. What does one call a lady governor? With a gentleman governor it is simple—anybody can remember Gov ernor and Gov. But with a lady Gov ernor there are difficulties. Obvious ly, we can’t say Governorcss. Madam Governor is pretty flat, and Mrs. Governor is impossible. Of course, intimate friends might say Govie, but what ar^ihe rest of us to say? Then there is Hie question of dress. It ap pears to be mandatory upon a gentle man governor to wear undertaker clothes and a half-gallon hat. But how about a lady governor? Here is something for Poiret to put his mincl on. He should design a nifty model called ‘‘Special for lady Governors,”" and not to be too long about it either, else the demand may seriously de plete the supply. Hunter’s Fearsome Plight. From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. He had had many strange and won derful' adventures in Africa, so lie said. As soon as he got talking wilto any of his pals he mounted his fav orite hobbyhorse and he was invari ably much put out if he was not ac corded the attention which he con sidered was his due. On this occasion he was the center cf an Interested group. “Yes,” he was saying, "hardly had I taken aim at the lion on my right when I heard a rustle in the jungle grass and, seeing an enormous tiger creeping up on my left, I found my self on the horns of a dilemma." “And which did you fire at first,1* Inquired one of his bored listener* very quietly, “the lion, the tiger or the dilemma?'* _ Mayflowers. From the Louisville Courier-Journal For members of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants life now adays isn’t altogether one of lilies* and roses. Names on tN> society’* roll are increasing so rapVJly of late that the organization’s president is hanging out signs of distress. The gist of his protest seems to be that, in his Judgment, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants is becom ing somewhat too “general’’ and not sufficiently “particular.” Gross imports of wheat by Great Britain fell from 13,0547000 cwt. ire July to 12,366,000 cwt. in Augus*. but the value per cwt. rose by 9.2 per cent. Imports of flour fell from 748,000 cwt. to 646,000 cwt. and trie value per cwt. rose by 11.4 per cent. According to advices received by the Bankers Trust company of New York from its British Information Service, the cereal year ending August 31, taken at a whole, resulted In imports of wheat Into Great Britain of 125,992.000 cwt. a» against 115,347,000 cwt. in the previous year and 115.600.000 for two years pre vious. These figures include flour reckoned in terms of wheat.
