news in the average weekly publi

Omaha last Monday, remaining for
over to Tuesday morn'fig and parted
with all but three of his teeth and
while the mouth was rather sore as
a result of the lacerations incidental
to the extractions, he was feeling re
lieved from the possession of the
aching molars.
Dr. Gilmore during last week had
a call to make some four miles west
of Murray and on account of the
roaui- had to make the trip via Union
and Xehawka, consuming some twen
ty miles when to have gone directly
west would have required only four
miles. Cameron Cathey who lives just
four miles west of Murray, also had
a trip of some twenty miles to get to
town, he having to go to Xehawka,
then to Union and up the Highway to
reach here.

BENBY STILL
HANGS ONTO
NAVY POST
WALSH RESOLUTION TO EVICT
NAVY SECRETARY IS PUT
OFF SECOND TIME.
POLITICAL RANCOR IS SHOWN
Denby Says He Acted For the Best
and Will Not Resign if Reso
lution Is Passed.
Washington, Jan. 29. The move
for annulment of the naval oil leases
proceeded slowly today in a thicken
ing atmosphere of political bitter
ness. The senate again failed to act
on the Walsh annulment resolution,
and engaged in an all, day debate in
which the demand for the resigna
tion of Secretary Denby was renew
ed and a similar attack was launch
ed against Attorney General Daugli
erty. During the day Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, enlarged the
area of oil fields to be recovered by
introducing a resolution to assert
title to sections of naval oil lands in
California now in possession of the
Standard Oil company.
Taking note of the attacks on him,
Secretary Denby, after attending a
two-hours' session of President Cool
idge's cabinet, said he believed he
had acted for the best in the oil
transactions: that he would do the
same things again and that he would
not resign even if the Robinsou res
olution demanding that he do so
were adopted.
Cabinet Discusses Developments
At the cabinet meeting, the presi
dent and his advisers discussed in
every detail the course of the admin
istration and it was apparent tomgnt
that the two lawyers to be employed
as special counsel in the annulments
suits virtually had been selected. An
nouncement of their names probably
will be deferred until congress acts.
On the floor of the senate cham
ber. Chairman Lenroot, of the oil
committee, revealed that Mr. Cool-
idge had been informed in advance
of the sensational testimony given a
week ago by Archie Roosevelt relat
ing to charges of a 5GS.000 payment
to the foreman of former Secretary
Fall's ranch. -
Senator Willis, republican, Ohio,
then announced that on the same day
Mr. Fall and his foreman, Thomas
Johnson, had been placed under sur
veillance by agents of the depart
ment of justice who were instructed
to prevent their departure from the
country.
Advised that Mr. Fall was unable
to appear before it today because of
a threatened nervous collapse, the
oil committee decided to examine
his physicians tomorrow before de
ciding whether to accept an invita
tion to question him in his sick
room.
ILLINOIS FARMERS BUYING
CATTLE NOW TO FEED
NEXT WINTER
Omaha, Jan. 29. "More Illinois
tockmen are buying light cattle thii
winter to rough through the summer
and feed out next winter than ever
before," said John Johnson, proprietor
of Riverside Farm, near Syracuse,
that state, who took out a load of
good Shorthorn stockers yesterday.
"A eood many cattle will be summer
fed, too,' he said, "as some of the
tockmen have quit winter feeding
altogether."
Only One End.
There should be no end to the search
for truth, other than the finding it.
Mrs. John J. Cloidt was a passen
ger this morning for Omaha to 6pend
a few hours looking after Borne mat
ters of business in that city.
V NEUTRALIZED
RHINE IS PLAN
OF PREMIER
MAC DONALD FLINGS FIRST IN
TERNATIONAL BOMBSHELL
WITH PROPOSAL.
BELGIUM IS THE INTERMEDIARY
New British Leader Believes He Has
Solution with Assurances to
France and Germany.
Paris. Jan. 27. Premier MacDon-
ald of England flung the first inter
national bombshell today when, thru
Belgium as an intermediary, he un
officially proposed a settlement of the
question of France's security by in
ternationalizing the Rhine frontier
and putting the neutral strip under
the league of nations.
The narrow "no man's land" thus
created would become a literal bar
ricade protection for both France and
Germany, obligating members of the
league of nations to wage war against
any nation violating its sanctity.
With France's security thus guar
anteed, Premier MacDonald believes
the way will be opened to revise the
treaty of Versailles and put the whole
European situation on a firmer basis.
These proposals are reported to
have been put forward in a secret
conference which Premier MacDon
ald held with the Eelgian ambassa
dor in London Friday, the reason for
the detour being MaeDonaM's hope
that Belgium will be able to persu
ade France to adopt the plan.
So urgent did the Belgian govern
ment consider the proposals that For
eign Minister Jaspar hastened rim
mediately from Brussels to Paris.
where he had an hour and a half
conference with Premier Poincare
this afternoon.
The strictest secrecy surrounds the
conversation, but from reliable and
authentic sources. Universal Service
is able to indicate that the meeting
was practically only concerned with
the project put forward by Premier
MacDonald.
In diplomatic quarters, however,
it is realized that Premier Poincare
is hostile to almost any English pro
gram and that therefore as long a3
he heads the French government,
there is little likelihood that Mac-
Donald's idea will bear fruit.
P0ST0FF1GE DE
PARTMENT MAKES
A NEW RULING
Places Newspapers in Same Class
With First Class Matter Which
Insure Better Service.
As a result of several months' of
investigation and study by experts
of the postofhee department. Post
master General New today issued the
first definite, concise and complete
program that has ever been put out
by the department for the mailing,
transmission and delivery of news
papers. This order is most important. It
is far reaching. It gives the same
expedition to newspapers as is ac
corded to first class mail.
The order is the result of pains
taking effort on the part of the post-
office inspectors, under the direction
of First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bartlett. Carefully worded and
minute instructions have been is
sued to all employes engaged in han
dling the maris, so that there will be
no possibility of misunderstanding
the importance of getting newspa
pers to the reader with a minimum
of delay.
The essence of the order is that
newspapers shall not be mixed with
parcels post at any point in their
dispatch from the publisher's offices
until their delivery to the addressees.
Papers shall be handled by them
selves, and kept in constant transit,
not being sent to railway terminals
to be reworked. In other words,
they are to be handled in the same
manner as first class mail.
An important feature of the or
der is that no publication shall be
given any less efficient or less expe
ditious treatment than at present.
That means that publications other
than newspapers will not suffer one
iota from this progressive innova
tion, made by the postofhee depart
ment. Another striking feature of the
order is the elimination of sacks of
mail which are known to the busi
ness world as "mixed mail." Sacks
of mixed mail sometimes contain let
ters, papers and parcels post, and
often times the entire contents were
treated as parcels post. This order
will 'prevent a recurrence of that
condition.
Another important feature of the
order is that postmasters are requir
ed to notify publishers in each in
stance when they do not bit the dis
patch which they advertise to hit;
also to notify publishers when they
are sending to wrong addresses and
to the addresses of deceased persons.
Publishers will also be notified when
they are putting up their mail in an
incorrect manner.
Under the new system, newspapers
will be made up in separate sacks
plainly labeled with the word
j "newspapers." If there are only a
few copies of newspapers at the
point of dispatch, they will be placed
in pouches with first class mail or
mm

This order means much to the
American public. It is one of the
most important and far reaching
steps in postofhee history. It is for
the benefit of those who desire to
have their newspapers placed before
them at as early a moment as pos
sible. This should keep both the
city and rural population in closer
and quicker touch with their sev
eral fields of activities.
