MRS. KLOEPPER TO
BE HELD ON FRIDAY
Mrs. Elizabeth Kloepper Dead At
Her Home At the Age of
Eight-one Years.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kloepper died at

after an illness of several months
of ailments incident to old age, at
the age of 81 years, 3 months and
16 days. The funeral will be held

Elizabeth Baacke was born at
Trevensoxen, Germany, on August
11, 1854. She came to America
when a young girl with her parents
and they located in Gage county,
Nebraska. On January 15, 1872,
she was united in marriage to
Henry Kloepper, at Claxtonia, Ne
braska. Seven children were born
of this union, five of whom are
living, two daughters and three
sons and are left to mourn the
passing of a kind and affectionate
mother, Mr. Kloepper passed away
in 1930. The children are: Mrs.
Henry Wayman, O’Neill; Mrs.
Martha Schernikm, Edgar, Nebr.;
John, Farwell, Texas; Walter,
Brunswick, Nebr.; Alvin, O’Neill.
Mrs. Kloepper came to this
country with her husband and
family in 1911, coming here from
Beatrice, Nebr., and with the ex
ception of three years had ma<je
her home in this county since that
time.
TO THE ORIENT
WITH CONGRESS
Kobe, Japan, Oct. 30, 1935
What a different Japan than it
was thirty years ago when we first
saw it. Then the mode of trans
portation was the Rikshaw and the
ox cart. The ox cart is still here,
i but the Rikshaw is used only for
tourists who want to be able to
say they rode in one. In Shanghai
and Hong Kong the Rikshaw is
still popular but here it is a thing
of the past. Elevated trains, rapid
transit bus lines, electric street
cars. The street car fare is about
two cents. Plenty of airplanes and
thousands of taxis and private cars.
Yokohama and especially Tokio are
modern cities. All buildings earth
quake proof and entirely rebuilt
since the big earthquake of 1919.
Paved streets and left hand drives
similar to England. Taxi fares are
reasonable—about twenty-five cents
for a ride to any part of the city.
Speaking of transportation, the
Ford car is the most popular. Mr.
Ford has a great assembling plant
here and half a hundred new cars
were assembled to take the con
gressional party around the coun
try. The Japansese, who are great
imitators, are now about to build
a car of their own. It will be put
out at lower cost than Fords. We
are told that even now the Japan
ese make a lot of their own Ford
parts. They have no regard for
patents. They buy a sample of
something and make thousands like
it. And they ship it to all parts of
the world.
What did the Americans see in
the first visit to Japan? In Yo
kohama and in Tokio and here in
Kobe? The general impression is
that they saw no unemployment
because everybody works in Japan.
Even the Vice-President admits
that he was impressed with the in
dustry—the numerous bicycles and
the thousands of school children all
dressed in uniforms herded by their
instructors.
Compulsory education here in
Japan. There is only four per cent
illiteracy. Civil service or the mer
it system only opens the door to
college or university education. A
V millionaire could not buy his son
a degree from the University here.
The son must earn it thru this mer
it system or go to foreign lands
for his higher education.
To prove a statement we are told
officially that there is a Paris, Jap
an—a Berlin, Japan, a USA Japan,
where certain pottery and novel
ties are made. These are shipped
to every country in the world to
compete with goods made in the
countries where this is sold. We
find thousands of items seen in
American stores which are copied
here. _
Japanese Sea, Japan,
Nov. 1, 1935.
All day yesterday was spent on
the top decks of this ship going
thru the Inland Sea. Senators and
congressmen, newspaper writers,
representatives of sugar interests,
oil interests, steamship interests,
watched from the decks the beaut
iful islands of the Inland Sea. But
they saw something else. They
saw a shore line which is lined with
warehouses and factories. They
saw thousands of extremely tall
chimneys belching forth smoke.
They saw great cities of factories
and manufacturing plants. Con
gressmen from Pennsylvania, one
from Pittsburg, unttered amaze
ment at the tremendous number of
chimneys and smoke stacks of hun
dreds of steel mills, cement plants,
etc. For two hours before the
steamer left the straits at the west
entrance of the Inland sea these
cities of mills and factories at
tracted the eyes of Americans.
Little attention was given to the
daylight bombs of welcome which
were sent up from the hillsides by
the Japanese. All talk was center
ed on Japansese industry. The Am
ericans suddenly realize why Am
erican trade in the Far East has
gone to Japan.
Speaking of Japanses factories
and mills—the president and sec
retary of Phillippine Chamber of
Commerce are in Japan today on a
“good will” mission to Japanese
business men. The Japanese news
papers carry full column stories
about speeches made by these Fil
ipino officials to the effect that the
Filipinos welcome Japansese trade.
The newspaper report states that
the president of the Philippine
Chamber of Commerce in a ban
quet address on Oct. 28 at Tokio
called attention of Japanese busi
ness men to the fact that the Phil
ippine Islands will never be an in
dustrial country and that the Jap
anese trade in the Philippines is
heavier than Philippine trade in
Japan. In this statement the Fil
ipino is quoted as stating that the
Philippine people want more Jap
anese merchants in the Islands and
that the Filipinos want more Jap
anese made goods because they are
cheaper. In return he would like
the Japanese to buy more Philip
pine raw products. Americans on
board this ship who read these
articles suddenly realize why the
United States has lost 90 per cent
of the textile trade in the Philip
pine Islands to Japan. Japan is
buying more cotton from America
this year. They have many mills
at Osaka where this cotton is made
into cloth and sold in the Philip
pines and elsewhere in the Orient.
Looking at these things quickly
members of the party begin to feel
that it is only a question of time
when all of the real business in the
Phillippines will be taken over by
Japan.
Thirty years ago when we came
thru this sea there were only fish
ing villages on the shore line.
Nearly every one of these villages
are cities now with electric lights,
electric street cars and with untold
number of mills and factories. An
army major who passed thru here
seven years ago says there were
but few factories here then. The
big push for factories and mills
started ten years ago. Today every
town thru these straits is a thriv
ing bustling factory town.
Baseball is a great sport over
here. Boys who had autographs
from Babe Ruth proudly show these
signatures to visitors. Altho every
body works in Japan, the boys find
a few minutes to play ball in the
vacant places after school. But
these boys combine business with
pleasure. It is not uncommon to
see a crowd of boys playing ball
with several of them carrying
babies on their backs. Americans
got a great thrill watching base
ball practice the other day in Kobe
when the youthful pitcher was
winding up with his baby sister
tied to his back. The baby swung
back and forth, sideways and every
direction as the pitcher wound up
and threw the runner out at first.
Discussion with reliable business
men of Japan indicate that Japan
ese business is giving good profits.
These statements are confirimed by
newspaper reports in Tokio and
Kobe. The average rate for 1,250
leading business corporations show
11 per cent profit up to this time
in 1935. Only sevently firms in
the country showed losses and 198
firms failed to pay a dividend.

Receive Heaviest Rain
Here Since Last June
The heaviest rainfall that has
visited this section of the state
since last June fell here Tuesday
afternoon and night, turning to
snow sometime in the early morn
ing hours. The rainfall measured
.92 of an inch at 6 o’clock Wednes
day morning, according to Observes
Harry Bowen. The moisture that
has fallen since, up to noon Wed
nesday, will probably bring the
amount of moisture up to an inch.
The only time since the latter
part of June when we had over
half an inch of moisture here was
on July 22 when the rainfall meas
ured .73 of an inch. Then again
on August 25 we had .78 hundreths
of an inch. Since then moisture
has been very light, the heaviest
precipitation being on September
1 when we had .39 of an inch. It
has been so dry in the county that
many .farmers who planted rye
some six weeks ago say that a lot
of it has not come up, the ground
being too dry for the grain to
sprout. A little warm weathec
now and the rye crop will yet get
a good start this fall.
From all reports the rainfall has
been quite general over the state.

PEOPLE AND THINGS
The Misses Rose and Mary
Grady and Owen Grady and Mrs.
Dennis Carlon, of Denver, Colo.,
arrived in the city last Friday to
spend Thanksgiving with relatives
and old friends here. Mrs. Carlon
was a former roi’dent of this city
and as Allie SrtlWry was one of
the prominent members of the
younger set of this city some forty
five years ago. She was married
in this city to Dennis Carlon and a
year or so afterwards they moved
to Colorado, where she has since
made her home. It has been about
forty years since Mrs. Carlon left
this city, but she still finds many
of the friends of the olden days
still residents of the city.
The last democratic legislature
in Nebraska completed their duties
and adjourned a few days ago,
without any regrets on the part of
the taxpayers of the state. They
added about $6,000,000 to the tax
burden of the people of the state,
most of which goes into their social
security program. Whether their
old age pension plan will amount to
anything or not time alone can tell.
It is the present intention to com
mence paying old age pensions on
or about February 1, 1936.
Word reached this city about
5:30 that C. B. Yarnell, local man
ager of the Golden Rule store, was
in an automobile accident south of
Atkinson, while returning home
from a state managers meeting at
Holdridge. No information had.
been received as to the extent of
the accident or whether Mr. Yarnell
had been injured or not.
Mrs. Agnes Sullivan took over
the duties of postmistress of this
city last Friday morning, notice of
her appointment having arrived a
couple of days before. Mrs. Sul
livan is the first woman wno has
ever held this office in this city and.

make an efficient and accomodating
postmistress.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gartner,
living south of Emmet, returned
Monday night from their old home
at Randolph, where they buried
their little son, who died in a Nor
folk hospital Saturday from lock
jaw.
Last Sunday was a day of gen
uine Indian summer weather. House
flies, ants, bugs, spiders and even
garter snakes were animated, men
went without coats — and some
claim without underwear, and boys
talked of going swimming until
parents talked of making “flying
switches.” #
The Presbyterian ladies are hav
ing a bazaar and food sale on Sat
urday, December 7, at 2 o’clock p.
m. Lunch will be served during

Monday morning for Lincoln, where
they will spend Thanksgiving at
1 the home of their daughter.
THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
by James R. Lowell
Thanksgiving dinner at home ap
parently was the lure that got the
boys out of the legislative trenches.
Considerable interest was attached
to the adjournment of the special
session as it probably was Nebras
ka’s last sitting of a two-house
legislature. Newspaper men who
have seen a number of legislatures
come and go say this last one was
about average, but was handicap
ped by being called upon to enact
in a short time a group of social
security laws which the lawmakers
and most others concerned knew
little about.
Final revision of the old-age pen
sion law indicates funds will be
available for between 20,000 and
25.000 persons over 65 years old.
Payments of pensions will not start
before February 1, next.
A total of $2,028,238 of state
money will be available for the
pensions, the bulk of the money
coming from an additional one-cent
tax on gasoline. Liquor revenue
and a $2 head tax will help swell
the fund.
The pensions will run from about
$5 to $30 per month maximum, de
pending upon the financial status
of the recipient. Each county will
have to decide pension rates for it
self, and if there is not enough
money to go around the average
pension will have to be scaled down.
The counties will get their share
on a population basis.
In addition to the state old-age
pension funds, the federal govern
ment thru its social security act is
expected to put up an equal amount.
Figuring on this basis, if the aver
age pension is $25 a month, there
will be money for approximately
20.000 persons.
The entire social security pro
gram as finally passed by the leg
islature will be co-ordinated thru
a state board and county commit
tees. A director for the program
is to be appointed at a salary of
$4,000 a year.
Two per cent of the social secur
ity funds will be set aside for state
administrative purposes. This
means that about $140,000 a year
will be available for this purpose.
Two new tax measures, origin
ally framed by the legislature in
regular session last spring, but re
vamped by the special session so
as to be workable, (we hope), are
the laws requiring automobile own
ers to pay their personal taxes on
their cars before they can obtain
license plates, and the delinquent
tax liquidation bill.
The first-mentioned law is ex
pected to increase the state’s rev
enue by bringing in taxes on about
90,000 automobiles in the state that
are licensed but upon which no per
sonal taxes are paid. There has
been some muttering, however, to
the effect that the law smacks of
class legislation, and allows owners
of pianos and diamond rings to go
on enjoying their music and sport
ing their jewelry regardless of
back taxes, while the delinquent
car owner must enjoy his rides
within the confines of his garage.
Under the delinquent tax liquid
ation law, forgiveness of interest
and penalties on delinquent real
estate levies is provided if the
principal is paid in 10 equal in
stallments and current taxes are
paid. The taxpayer must take ad
vantage of the plan not later than
September 1, 1936.
Where personal taxes are con
cerned, interest and penalties are
forgiven if such taxes are paid in
five equal installments and current
taxes are paid. This plan must be
taken advantage of not later than
January 1, 1937.
This law is expected to greatly
increase tax collections within the
next year.
The investigation of the banking
department instituted by the leg
1 islature last spring has given birth
to a most surprising political an
imal for which the state officials
and other politicians have no name
but a “whozzit.”
To start the ball a-rolling, W. J.
Williams (R), chief investigator
for the investigating committee,
let forth a sudden blast several
weeks ago, alleging that certain
state officials were trying to head
off the investigation, presumably
to hide rotteness in the banking
department.
Williams declared that four
types of law violations had been
unearthed by the investigating
committee, altho his colleagues
didn’t seem to think that there was
anything so far amiss as to war
rant prosecution. But Williams
said that improper loans had been
made to bank directors, state funds
appropriated for political purposes,
assets of failed banks sold without
court orders, and excessive salaries
paid banking department officials.

that section of the county joined in
the hunt. The Millers recently
moved to the Garver place from a
j ranch south of Atkinson.
