CATTLE TRUCKED TO MARKET
Omaha, Neb., (UP)—All
records for trucking cattle ana
calves to maiaet was broken to
day when more than 3,000 head had
been received in this manner at
the South Omaha stock yards. The
previous record was about 2,000
head. Drying up of roads following
weather of the last week allowed
farmers to get through with their
stock today from all points within
a 100-mile radius for several days.
About 8,000 head of hogs were al
so received by truck at the yards
today. This, however, is far from
the record of 11,000 hogs trucked in
a single day.

AGED PREACHER
ALSO SCIENTIST
Attains Honor Through
Study of Plant and Bird
Life of Nebraska
Red Cloud, Neb., (Spe
cial)—A country tow’n minister for
more than 40 years, Rev. John M.
Bates, of this city, has won at the
age of 82 years distinguished hon
ors in the realm of science, and
was recently thp chief truest, at the
annual banquet of the leading
scientifics fraternity at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
Rev. Mr. Bates has been an Epis
copal minister in a number of Ne
braska communities. When he was
stationed at Valentine, up in the
cow country, he had 20 stations to
serve, each of which were visited
during a period of six weeks. That
was before the days of the automo
bile, and in his driving and riding
from one place to another in the
leisurely methods of transportation
then in vogue, he was attracted by
the brilliancy of the flora of that
region, much of which had never
been gathered or classified.
He communicated with Dr. C. E.
Bessey, one of the country’s leading
botanists for years, who taught him
how to make classifications and
sent him books to aid him. He was
the first man in the state to make
ar study of the particular flora. In
time his fame grew, and for years
he has been filling orders from
great eastern herbariums for botan
ical specimens of unusual character.
His own herbarium has 12,000 class
ified specimens in it, and in addi
tion has a rare collection of birds,
a study he took up after his ap
pointment by the federal govern
ment as a reporter of bird mogra
tlons.
The minister has made a number
of valuable discoveries in botany
and a number of plants have been
named after him. The best known
one is a species of buffalo bean, un
earthed in the wallows where the
bison formerly had their habitat,
and it has been named Astralagus
Batesii.

Mrs. Ethel Cromwell of Bridgeport, Conn., with three of her
four children, believes there must be a loophole somewhere in
the law which will let her obtain a divorce from her husband.
She is the mother of thirteen children of which only four are
living. The others have died through her being unable to pro

wants her to have more children but the doctors say no. Prose

The Rural Interests
Chicago Journal of Commerce
When farm unrest Is spoken of,
there Is a necessary Implication
that the unrest prevails not only
among the farmers but to some de
gree among other elements in the
rural regions. Any impediment to
farm prosperity is an Injury to
those whose prosperity depends up
on the farmers. Storekeepers sel
ling to the farmers are affected. So
are bankers holding farmers’ notes.
The general level of prosperity in
the entire rural region is held in
restraint.
In a newly issued bulletin by the
Bureau of Business Research of the
University of Illinois, dealing with
conditions which have caused a
decline with conditions which have
caused a decline in the sales of vil
lage merchants in Illinois, it is
duly noted that the increased mo
bility of trade, due to the automo
bile and paved roads, has an impor
tant effect; but. after that effect
is allowed for, the fact remains that
a considerable part of the village
merchant’s troubles is due to condi
tions which check the farmers
prosperity. Many of the dealers gave
the low price of com as one of the
most adverse factors in their situa
tion
“The agricultural depression is a
very real factor with the village
merchants,” the bulletin says. “If
the farmers do not have money they
cannot buy—or at least, they can
not pay their bills. In much of the
territory covered, corn is the im
portant money crop. Corn has been
relatively cheap during the past few
years, its purchasing power is less
than in the years preceding the
World war.”
When village merchants need a
higher crop price in order to at
tain a satisfactory volume of sales,
it is natural that they should feel
a personal interest in the agricul
tural situation. That is why the
rural business interests, as well as
_f___Un.ro

in the demand for farm legislation
to decrease the maladjustment in
return between agriculture and
other elements. The fear as to
what the farm west may do politi
cally Is based upon the realization
by political leaders in rural regions
that farm unrest characterizes not
only the farmers but the rural busi
ness interests which are dependent
upon purchases by the farmers.
System Far From Perfect.
From "Money.”
Periodically, millions of men are
thrown out of work, at the very
time when there are abundant tools
to work with and materials to work
upon, and a world in dire need of
the goods which these idle men, by
the use of these idle machines,
would gladly make out of these sur
plus materials. During 1921. for ex
ample, thousands upon thousands
of people, even in the United States,
were suffering for want of innumer
able products of labor. At the same
time there were vast stocks of un
sold. finished goods awaiting con
sumption, warehouses crowded with
raw materials, factories and ma
chines ready to do their part, and
several millions of idle men and wo
men who were eager to go to work.
Yet there was sustained business
depression.
Why?
In order to reach a solution, it Is
not necessary to abolish selfishness.

Business English.
From Harper’s Magazine.
A singular branch of learning,
featured by more than a score of
American universities, is £nown as
"Business English.” This is, briefly,
the art. of writing sales letters; and
is based upon the theory that the
prospect’s vanity may be excited by
a hearty informality which is lack
ing in the English of literature or of
polite intercourse.
One reads, for example, in the
textbook used by classes in Business
English at New York university:
Business English is a useful art
rather than a fine art. Its pur
pose, like the purpose of busi
ness, is to gain profit. "Follow
the line of least resistance” is
an axiom of Business Enelish.
Business English is typically
conversational—in many cases,
colloquial.
It is worthy of note that the col
loquial English recommended by
New York university finds enthusi
astic reception in some business cir
cles. One block from the univer
sity’s headquarters in Washington
Square is a subway station where
a great news corporation prods the
vanity of prospective clients by the
printed auestion:

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
One hundred and fifty years ago
tiie British colonies in America, al
ter long and prayerful thought,
declared their independence of Brit
ish allegiance. The anniversary of
the date of the action is celebrated
as if the declaration were passed
spontaneously in a burst of indig
nation and wholly under the in
spiration of an aggressive and
unanimous demand lor independ
ence. The fact is that the colonies
were in open rebellion when the
declaration was made. The so
called Boston massacre occurred six
years before. The British army’s
defeat at Ticonderoga and Lexing
ton was history, as was the British
army's costly victory at Bunker
HilL George Washington was in
command of a competent field
army. Indeed, Washington had
forced the British troops from New
England, capturing 200 cannon,
hundreds of small arms, and ships
laden with supplies for the British
troops. The British king had
spurned the peace overtures of the
colonies. His reply was a procla
mation declaring the colonies in a
state of rebellion, and the purchase
of a force of Hessian troops to force
the rebels into submission.
But the declaration was all the
more fraught with high purpose be
cause it was made as the climax of
a &ries of challenges to the au
thority of British injustice. Its
ringing language shook the alle
giance of the Tory colonists, three
cut of every ten, who refused to
break their ties to the mother coun
try. The revolutionary leaders
were 10 years winning a working
majority for their cause, but when
they got a majority they could de
pend upon it. The seriousness of
the step is measured in the realiza
tion that the declaration severed
the relations of the colonies and
their best customer, cut them off
from their source of necessary sup
plies, and. for all they knew at that
time, placed them in position where
the British navy might cut off all
their contact with the world. The
declaration was the most coura
geous stand for liberty in man’s
long struggle to rest the power of
government on the consent of the
people.
This country was 20 years build
ing its character around the princi
ple of independence—20 years from
the Boston massacre to the first
Inauguration of Washington as
president. In that time its faith
In the principle of independence
was expressed in every form from
mild protest to death in battle. No
government's central principle ever
naa a more trying test, me years
since have testified to the wisdom
of the choice. The country has
flirted with alliances, has. in fact,
even entered into them, but always
secure in the knowledge that its po
sition between the two great oceans
gave to It practically a complete de
fense against invasion, provided it
maintained its armv and navy, and
that its alliance involved no un
breakable entanglements. Its- in
dependence was never more clearly
asserted than when it hurled its
■>rmy and navy into the world war.
Tt took this plunge to nnticinate the
hreat to its independence involved
n the possibility of a German vic
tory.
Todav the United State* is the
only first-class power which has
"ejected an opportunity to become
a member of the League of Na
tions. Behind that decision is a
*entury and a half of growing faith
in the thought that was uppermost
in the minds of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. By
'oans since the war to impoverished
countries, by generous funding of
war debts, by famine- relief, etc . the
United States has shown that it has
no desire to remain aloof from the
world. Its independence does not
go as far as that: but its spirit of
mdeoenderce does compel it to
maintain itself as a sovereign na
tion. not as a state submitting to
higher mortal authority. In a
world tinkering weaklv with inter
nationalism. this country is frank
ly and aggressively strengthening
its nationalism. This spirit of in
dependence is the lifeblood of the
United States. The nation will sur

The thirty mile Droiect will place
15,000 acres of Platte Valley land

skirts the north edge of the hills
for 35 miles and the waste water re

Cozad.
Farmers organized the company
to build the ditch in 1926. They
hired engineers, let contracts, and
completed the ditch at a cost of $25 /
