e if-- where the fall flowers were used
t decorate the tnb!- and furnished
a pk-asinu setting for the jolly party.
Aftvr the dinner ail of the nir.i
b r of th party adjourned to the
o;Fic rooms of the company in the
Leonr.rd building where they spent
several iiours in the discussion of the
plans and the purpose? of the Eetter
Home Lisrhtinsr campaign.
The plan was explained very thor
oughly by George C. Adwers of Om
aha, of the Grandn Electric Co..
who in th brief time that he had at
his disposal made very clear the pur
poses of this educational campaign
which is to be brought Into every
s.-ction of the nation.
The letter Home Lighting' cam
paign and contest is bcinp pushed
by the liphting educational commlt
t ". composed' of representatives of
?). leading representative companies
of the electric lichting industry. The
purpose of the committee is to secure
th- operation of a better home light
ing activity nationwide and educa
tional in nature. Th principal fea
ture of the activity is a nationwide
educational contest on better home
lighting operated through school
children and reinforced by adver
t isi r( p.
The purpose of the campaign Is
not one of selfish motives as the com
panies ft-nl that there is ne! f edu
cational efforts to learn the public
the proper use of lights to secure the
best service and which will give the
best result, as in most of the homes
that are lit by electricity there is
ample lisrht but not properly placed
to pi vr the best results and that de-f-
ctive lighting causes a great deal
of rye strain to the American peo
ple an 1 to eradicate this is one of
the primo moves of the campaign.
In each of the local communities
:! re will be prizes offered for c-c-F.'.ys
prepared by the school children

HUNTING SEASON
OPENS WITH A
BIG BANG TODAY
Lovers of the Sport of Duck Hunt'
ir.g Are Out Early in Pursuit
Of the Elusive Fovrb.
Fre?n Tuesday's Paily
The sound of heavy firing off in
!': east this morning alarmed the
arly raisers with the thoughts that
Ttrhars the Chinese war had been
iraiisferr(.ri to our midst and many
of the service men who had been
at the fn.nt in the late unpleasant-i;es--
ma ! for the c ellar where they
sr.u-'ht shelter from the bombard
ment that was opening.
The cause of the tiring was soon
j.seei t;: ine-d when it was learned that
the official hunting season of 1924
was being opened up and the local
hunters were out in force and from
the noise that rolled up from the
river front the slaughter seemed to
be heavy but whether of dnrfc nr
hunters was not learned Clitef rf '
lVIiee William Hinrichsen took ad- j
vantage of the opening of the season !
' grab his faithful weapon and start :
"ivTwarJ another of the hunting
parties comprised of Bruce Rosen
era ns and Bob Walling, who arose
at :.n early hour and with visions
of many flocks of ducks leading them
on. wended their way over to the
Mi-souri river to lay in wait when
the first light of day arrived, for the
ducks that might be stirring at that
early hour.
The season for squirrels, plover,
il-Kks and geese is now now open
and those who enjoy this line of
sport will sure have a real treat for
the rest of the season. The prairie
chicken season will open October 1st.
and other game later. Those who
would hunt have been busy securing
licenses at the office of County Clerk
George It. Sayles, as the law has set
a price on this suort.
CIVLL GOVERNT.IENT IS COSTLY
From Monday's Daily
The expense of supporting a Unit
ed States army will continue to make
militarism an unpopular policy of
government. Yet our standing ar
my, national guard and reserve
corps costs in taxes the ridiculously
small sum cf $2.20 per capita an
nually. In other words there are
one and a Quarter soldiers for each
thousand of our population. Less
than a day's average salary per cap
ita will sni'port the military forces
of the nation.
Quite on the other hand the great
army of civil officers, presidents, gov
ernors, mayors, justices of peace,
road overseers, government clerks,
etc.. require the American tax payer
to work one day of every twelve for
their support. Civil government,
rather than the military, is making
for heavy tax burdens.
SERIOUS AUTO AC
CIDENT OCCURS
HERE SATURDAY
Coupe Driven by Iowa Parties Crash
Into Ford Touring Car
of Murray Man.
From Uonila.y'a Daily
Late Saturday night a very ser
ious auto accident occured just at
the foot of MeConkey hill on South
Chicago avenue and while there was
no one injured to any extent the two
cars were very badly damaged in the
mix up.
The first intimation of the wreck
occurred when passing motorist
came on into the city and. notified
Constable Tom Svoboda of the ac
cident and who with Chief of Police
Hinrichscn hastened out to the scene
of the auto accident. Here the off
ficers found the cars over in the
ditch and while the coupe had been
turned over there was not a pane of
glass broken in the car altho the
whole front of the car was badly
damaged in the head on collision.
The accident as far as could be
ascertained occurred when the Ford
coupe occupied by two men from
Iowa, was coming north on the left
hand side of the road while the
tourin? car containing a young man
named Burrows, of near Murray,
with Lis wife and children were go
ing south on the road, and as Mr.
Burrows states going at a reason
oble rate of speed while the car
coming from the south was travel
at a very fast gait and on the wrong
side of the road. Mr. Burrows sup
posing the approaching car would
swing over into its proper place
f -und out to late that the two cars
were Leading for a crash.
The men were brought on in by
the officers and Dlaced in the citv
jail until yesterday when they were!
turned over to County Attorney J.
A. Capwell. The men from Iowa
gave the names of Floyd Finnell
and John Bunker and yesterday af
terneion they were released under
bonds of $500 for their appearance
on next Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
County Attorney Capwell filed a
complaint in the court of Justice
William Weber charging Finnell,
the owner of the coupe with pos
session of intoxicating liquors and
transportation of liquor and Bunker
also with possession.
At the time the men were brought
in by Mr. Svoboda and Chief Hin
ricksen it was claimed that they
were intoxicated.
While the cars were smashed up
to a greater or less extent it is
very fortunate that none of the oc
cupants were injured to any extent
aside from being bruised and shaken
up when the two cars came together
head on.

HOLD VERY PLEAS
SERVICES AT THE
GHURGH SUNDAY
Two Quite Notable Gatherings Are
Held at M. E. Church Here
Yesterday.
Fr"rn Monday's Paliy
Yesterday at the morning services
at the Methodist church, the last of
the confrence year, the members of
tho congregation were treated to a
very able discourse by the pastor, the
Rev. Frank Emory Pfouz. which was
his last me? sago before leaving for
the conference which opens at Oma
ha Wednesday and will run over un
til Tuesday of next week.
The subject was taken from the
words of St. Paul, "I was not dis
obedient Unto the heavenly wisdom."
and those who were present were
hold to the closest attention by the
force and beauty of the sermon and
while the church has had many very
able sermons delivered within its;
walls, those who were present felt
that it was one of the very best that
thev had the privilege of listening
to.
The return of Rev. Pfoutz has been
requested by the local church of the
conference, but the matter is one up
on which the conference and the pre
siding bishop will exercise their best
judgment and with the well known
reputation of the ability of Rev.
Pfoutz the church here will be most
fortunate if it is able to retain him,
although no effort will be spared to
try and have the bishop heed the re
quest of the local church.
At the evening services, yesterday,
Mr. Corwin Taylor, member of the
foreipn activities of the church, was
present and gave a most interesting
account of hi3 fifteen years of labor
in the mission field in Korea and
from his abundant experience he
gave many interesting points of the
Christian mission work among the
people and the growth of the Chris
tian faith in this little known land.
While in this city, Mr. Taylor was a
guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert B. Hayes.
Miss Cook of Kansas City, a guest
here, was also heard in a very pleas
ing vocal solo. t
LEAVE HOSPITAL
From Tuesday's Palls
Mrs. A. H. Duxbury and little
daughter, who have been at the
Methodist hospital in Omaha have
gained strength so that they were
able to leave the hospital and go to
the home of Mrs. Chris Metzger, an
aunt of Mrs. Duxbury where they
will remain for a short time and as
soon as possible will come on to this
city where little Miss Duxbury will
have her introduction to her future
home.
SUFFERING FROM I
HEART TROUBLE
From Tuesday's Paily
The many friends of Mrs. W. F.
, Clark will regret ery much to learn
that Mrs. Clark i3 eiuite ill at her
home at Seventh and Kim streets,
following an attack of heart trouble
and her condition lias been such as
to give her family a great deal ot ap
prehension. Mrs. Clark is quite ac
tive in the work of the Christian
church and her illness is regretted
very much by the associates in the
church work.
ROAD APPROPRIA
TIONS AND THE
FEDERAL TAXES
States That Do Not Avail Themselves
of the Appropriations Do Not
Lessen the Takes Any.
On a recent date an article en
titled "One-Sided Ta Affair" was
published in one of the -tatc papers
which showed that in 1023 Nebras
ka paid into the federal treasury ovei
$11,000,000 and received in return
from the federal government alx..t
$1,000,000.
On the face of it it would appear
to le a "one-sided tax affair." On
the other hand, it is not supposed
th:.t taxes will be returned to the
state, or to the individual, in dol
lars and cents. Were that the ca"e
it would be useless for government
to go to the expense of collecting it.
Taxes are collected to raise revenue
to run the government's business,
whether it be federal, state, county
cr municipality.
"Of the $1,000,000 a year received
from the federal gcveniinent. $750,
000 is for road work," thus continues
the article. If Nebraska did not ac
cept this $750,000 for roai work Ne
braska's share of federal taxes would
not be reduced on that account, for
the law provides that if a state does
not accept its quota that amount will
be re? portioned among the other
states. It is very important then
that Nebraska accept all the federal
aid for roads available.
Where does this federal aid to the
states cota? from? WI pays it?
In the first place, it is all appro
priated out of the federal treasury by
congress. It is collected by the fed
eral government as internal revenue,
customs duties and miscellaneous,
The latest complete fgures at
hand rhow that, of the total re
ceipts to the federal treasury, Ne
braska pays a fraction more than
fifty-two hundredths of one per cent,
or a trifle more than half a cent of
each dollar collected.
The distribution of federal aid
for roads is made cn the basis of one
third in proportion to the population,
one-third in proportion to the area,
and one-third in proportion to the
number of miles of nail routes. On
this basis Nebraska receives two and
sixteen-hundredths per cent after
about two and four tenths per cent is
deucted by the Federal Bureau of
Roads for administrative purposes.
Or, cut of each dollar paid to all the
states as federal aid for roads Ne
braska receives a little more than
two cents.
For 1923 congress appropriated
$50,000,000 federal aid for roads. Of
this amount Nebraska's quota is $1,
056,126. Of this $50,000,000 Ne
braska paid into the federal treas
vrv. fifty-two hundredths of one per
cent, or about $260,000. By divid
ing the amount received by the state
$1,054,126, by the amount the state
paid into the federal aid road fund,
$2C0,O00, we find that Nebraska re
ceives more than $4 for each dollar
paid by the state.
