Last Saturday evening between the hours of 5 and 6 as people were loitering on the streets just before going to their supers or waiting for the evening mail, suddenly out of the north appeared a cloud of dust and out of the cloud shot forth a Buick touring car with but a single occupant and moving with t he speed of a hurricane. It bore down upon the town with a swish. The car was easily making 60 miles per hour as it shot to the north crossing entering the business section and when it reached the postoffice was possibly running at a speed of 40 miles. When the brakes were applied the car slid fully 'A) feet and fragments of scorched rubber could be seen on the ground us a result of the intense friction on the sur face of the tires as it slid forward to a dead stop. The first impulse of the on lookers was "What the Sam Hill is the mat ter with that fellow?" The driver was soon able to explain his haste which was occasioned by his having to meet an ambulance from Lincoln, bringing a pulineter to Weeping Water for use in an attempt to re vive the 12-year-old son of Leslie Wiles, who had been sucked into the pit at the elevator and had smothered underneath an avalanche of corn. The ambulance had not yet arriv ed and the attention of pedestrians was attracted to the direction from which it should come. Suddenly it came dropping over the hills at a tremendous speed. The pulmeter and two attendants were transferred to the Buick and away thev sved on their way to Weeping Water. All efforts had failed to save the child and nothing had been spared it was a race with death in which death was the victor. But everybody concerned had the satisfaction of knowing that all in the power of human endeavor had been done to save the life of the little son. Harvey Philips drove the Buick and it can truthfully be said that the car showed its excellent speed and endurance. The trip from Weep ing Water to Elmwood was made in exactly twelve minutes.

TREASURY REFUSES TO AID INFLATION Secretary Houston Tells the Farmers Tnat Prices Are Surely on Down Grade. Washington. I). ('. Oct. 14. Secre tary Houston reiterated today to rep resentatives of agricultural interests in conference here that the treasury would not be a party to the with holding of any commodity from the market of any commodity from the market in order to maintain artifici ally high prices. Spokesmen for the delegation were frank in their criticism of Mr. Houston's recent statement that prie-; es had begun to recede, but the secre tary told them as frankly that his statement properly represented con ditions. The delegation sought mainly to have the treasury revive the war fi nance corporation. arguing that through it they would be able to ob tain funds to finance exports which they claimed were falling off, creat ing a stagnant market. Secretary Houston said the de cision of the treasury not to revive the war finance corporation had been approved by the president and "nu merous prominent senators and rep resentatives." lie said the consen sus of opinion was that the benefits derived from restoration of the cor poration would not counterbalance the evil effects it would have on gen eral money market and credit con ditions.
