NEVER ON ABIGCER SCALE jffi cV REDUCED RAILROAD RATES-FARE STATE CORN CROP WILL BE BIGGEST IN MANY YEARS Only Sunshine Needed Now to Make It Mature Ahead of Frost, bay the State Experts. Prom Monday Dally. "If the weather man will shut off the rain and give the state a lot of warm weather in the next two weeks, Nebraska's corn crop will be the best in many years," A. E. Anderson of the federal bureau of crop statis tics. Lincoln, declared Sunday. "The corn has all the moisture it needs, but heat to mature It before frost will be the most welcome," he added. The latest federal estimate of the state's corn yield. 220,399,000 bush els, which exceeds last year's crop by 17,000,000 bushels, probably will be further increased with a liberal supply of sunshine, he stated. Heavy winds have blown down some corn in spots, but will not materially af fect the yield. No More Rain Needed for Corn Professor Burr, of the state univer sity department of agronomy, at Lin coln, concurs In Anderson s optimism 'The corn from now to maturity will use one-fourth of an inch of moisture daily, but this is now in the soil. A light shower now and then can do no harm, but it is not especially needed." he said. "A great deal of fall plowing is now done, and this will put the land in fine shape for fall wheat." jOther farm and garden crops in the state are equally as good as corn, both Anderson end Professor Burr reported. Oats are very good thru- out the state, running 50 per cent higher yield than last year, and ap proximately 10 per cent greater than the ten-year average. Big Potato Yield Potatoes will produce a big yield. the early varieties probably only fair in quality, due to some second sprouting and scab, but in the late potatoes, both the quality and quan tity will be good. The state's yield of barley will be double that of last year with an acreage double that of 1922, both the crop experts said. Hay crops are immense, averaging 15 per cent more than 1922 for both tame and wild varieties and pastures are equally as good. Stockmen are experiencing some trouble with an unusually bad scourge of flies and mosquitos. The Insects are more numerous this year than for fourteen or fifteen years. Professor Burr declared.

All of the favorites stood the gaff of first round play in the annual state tennis tournament which got under way Monday afternoon at the University courts.' W. Hellwege; Seward, defeated Ray Phelps, Omaha in straight sets. This was the clos est to a surprise match of the after noon as Phelps, while playing this spring as a candidate for the univer sity team showed signs of being able to weather several rounds in the state meet. . Probably the hardest battle of the day developed between Lawrence Mc Cague, formerly of Omaha but now a Lincoln resident, and Charles Pat terson, Arapahoef 'official referee of fhe tournament. The first set went 11-9 for McCague, Patterson rally ing In the second for a 6-2 victory but falling in the deciding set 6-4. Mr. Patterson has been suffering from neuritis in his arms and it ham pered his play noticeably. It looked bod for a time for Fred Archerd, Lincoln ' city champion, when P. H. Bek, Seward, took the first five games of the first set. Ar cherd pulled it " out,' however, and won the next set handily. His run ning mtae, Clyde Seymour also had a mighty difficult time disposing ot Al bert Finkle, present-junior champion of Omaha, and junior champion of the state last year, Ced Potter, runner-up in the Lin coln- city meet, won from G. Wlnkin son. Lincoln, in straight sets. Don Elliott, former city champion of Lin coln and present', holder with E. R. McCormick of the state doubles title, was forced into extra games to win the first set from A. H. Staley, a young player from York, but Elliott won the second set handily. George Stocking, Omaha, who has been a dangerous contender in for mer tournaments, appears to be right on top of his game. He had no trou ble surviving the first round. The players repaired to the cham ber of commerce where they were guests at a banquet following the play. - Secretary Potter announced that all first round play in singles must be completed by 10 a. m. Tuesday and those matches not finished by that time will be defaulted. Play in the doubles starts Tuesday morning in both divisions From the looks of things Monday the junior singles title will probably rest between Alfred Calvert, York, son of Rev. John Calvert, president of the state tennis association, and Finkle, the youthful flash from Om aha. Finkle plays n, steady sams and young Calvert has every move in dicative of a comer, Rev. John Calvert of York defeat ed Robinovitz, 6-4, 6-4, while Ray Larson of this city was defeated In the opening round of the tournament by Weaverling of Lincoln, 6-4, 6-4.

URGE OBSERVANCE OF CONSTITUTION BY ALL CITIZENS American Bar Association Starts a' Movement to Bring About Return of Respect.. Prom Monday's Daily. The American Bar association, of; which D. O. Dwyer of this city is a' member, has started a movement that is destined to bring to the minds of the citizens over the nation the need for a re-awakened respect for the law of the land, particularly the Constitution of the United States. It is proposed to have a series of meetings in every community over the country, starting on Sunday, September 16th, with a church serv ice for a fitting opening of the law respecting campaign and throughout the week meetings are to be planned in the schools, among the different societies and patriotic organizations to teach a greater respect for the law of the land and especially the, basic law found in the Constitution. ' The founders of tbe Constitution set about to form a government that would above all else give them and their posterity the blessings of lib erty through organized government and for this purpose was enacted the Constitution - of the United States. This was the first document that gave full measure of liberty to the peo ple of the world and has served as a model for the constitutional gov ernment of the nations of the earth since that time. In late years it has grown to be a habit of attempting to tack on amendments to the constitution and this has led to a growing disrespect for the great fundamental law of the land and the trend in that direction is even greater at this time, when many would encumber, the document with unnecessary amendments that tend to weaken it. The laws that have been made a part of the Constitution should have the respect of the American people as long as they remain a part of the law of the land and the people should be educated to realize just what the Constitution means to them as the guarantee of their right of liberty of thought, speech and action. Prepare to do your part in ?lls ob servation of Constitutional week and bring closer to the people an under standing of the law of the land. STANDARD OIL GO. SLASHES GAS PRICE Cut from 22i2 to 16 Per Gallon is Announced in This City Is Welcomed by Motorists. Front Tuesday's OariT. The effect of the gasoline cut price war that is now sweeping tnrougn the northwest, was reflected in this city today when the Standard Oil company cut the retail price of gasoline from 22 cents to 16 cents per gallon, thereby making a great saving to the gas consumers of the community. The cut is the result largely of agitation of the past week that led Governor Charles W. Bryan to an nounce that the state would estab lish filling stations if the price was not cut to a reasonable figure and in conformity with the price at which it is being sold in other states ad joining Nebraska. The gasoline war waged between the independents and the Standard company in Kansas City was one of the first indications of the enormous profits derived in the handling of gasoline and was followed by the ' slashing of the price there by the J Standard : company. Since then, all over the northern and central states there has been a movement to force down the retail price of gasoline. The telegram from the Standard Oil company to their representatives authorizing the' cut in the price Is the first indication of the war reach ing this city as the auto owners have been paying the higher price here all of the time. The result will be a marked rush for the filling stations and many tanks that are infrequently filled to their capacity, will be 'loaded up by their owners, for fear that the cut will not be lasting. BAINB0W TBOTJT FOB GBETNA From Tuesday's Dally. Chief Game Warden Koster has re turned from Denver where he ob tained 200 rainbow trout to restock the state fisheries at Gretna. Many trout died at that fishery thi3 spring and the stock must be replenished.
