FARMERS' UNION REORGANIZED From Tuesday's Dally The Farmers Union of Murray, known as Maple Grove Local No. 1941. has TertrtrartiTPtl nnrl harl its ber of the members have had to maintain their membership by pay- ing individually as members ftt large and the reviving of the local is for the purpose of making it more con stores over the state; A. O. Jones, field secretary, and E. L. Shoemaker, state secretary. The Cass county secretary, H. L. Bornemeier, of Alvo, was also present and other visiting members from neighboring locals. There are at the present time six teen active locals In Cass county and about half this number of co-operative business enterprises. A large portion of the Cass county members are patrons of the Farmers Union Livestock Co., of Omaha, and other shippers have been anxious to be come in good standing in order that they may participate in the patron age dividends at the end of the cal endar year, these dividends being re stricted to members only. BENEFITS OF DAIRY SPECIAL "There will be a great difference in the spread of influence for better purebred dairy sires between the ex change thru the plan of the Burling ton Dairy Sire Train than thru a direct sale of just as good a purebred sire by a breeder to a farmer in a new community," Mr. E. W. Frost, President of the State Holstein As sociation, believes. According to the plan of the Train a farmer in each community will receive a purebred bull in even exchange for the scrub he has been using, the freeders of the state standing the difference in the value of the animals. "If this farmer receives his purebred with all due ceremony from the Burlington Spe cial Train when it stops in his town and he is the only man so honored in his community, his neighbors are going to watch the success of his dairy business," says Mr. Frost. The outcome of all this encour agement for better dairy sires will be that Nebraska people will become more interested, the farmers who have been growing into the dairy business will breed up herds of higher producing cows, take better care of them, and pay more attention to the marketing of their products. "We breeders expect this improve- NEBRASKA ment to last over a period of years, not to be an over-night revolution. but a gradual, progressive develop ment. We really hope that the first year's results will not be so notice able as those in years to follow be cause We want the foundation that we are laying this year to be only a foundation upon which to improve the production of the cows in each of these 31 communities and in every other part of the state," says Mr, Frost. Business conditions among the breeders were never better, he re ports from his visits to practically every leading Holstein herd in the state. Demand for good young bulls is greater than the supply right now, he has found, and choice of the 1924 crop will sell at a premium this fall. Breeders were anxious to support this movement for more purebred sires giving their best Dull to the train for an exchange with a de serving farmer. Not one of these men refused to let the committee pick their choice from their young bulls. Mr. Frost says. This kind of support speaks well for the spirit behind the present dairy business in the state. EXPERTS FORECAST MISHAPS TO AUTOS Fifteen Thousand Lives Lost Annual ly in Motor Accidents Fear Entertained of Increase. Louisville. Ky., Sept. IS. A meas ure to effect a national reduction in puuuc ai-i-mem mmm-i" - operative effort of all national asso ciations whose interests touch upon the street and highway traffic proD- lem will be proposed at the safety congress to be held here September 29 to October 3. the National Safety council announces Among the associations to partici pate are the United States chamber 0f commerce, the American Automo- bile association, tne tnuea Mans automobile chamber of commerce. tne American Railway association the International Chief of Police as- sociation. the national bureau ot cas American electric railway association and the American mutual alliance "Fifteen thousand lives are lost l in automobile accidents each year and fully 75 per cent of these acci dents are avoidable," said the an nouncement. "Since 1910, the death toll has been increasing at the rate of 1,000 each year and, with the in creasing registration of automobiles resulting in street and highway traf fic problems, which cannot easily be solved, it is probable that the an nual death rate may be in the neigh borhood of 30,000 in 1930. "The collection of public aceidfnt statistics and their analysis is prob ably the most important jphase of accident prevention" work at the present time. Col. James Sinke, di rector of public safety of Grand Rapids", Michigan, will explain the system under the universal accident report forms adopted by the national safety council. Mark Graves, New York state tax commissioner, will outline the organization and opera tion of the New York motor vehicle bureau which keeps an accident rec ord for every motor vehicle driver in the state. Many well known lead ers of the safety movement will speak." ARBOR LODGE OPEN FOR ANOTHER MONTH Arbor Lodge State Park will prob ably be open to visitors throughout the year, but the house is likely to be closed in a month, Supt. Frank Wil liams intimated yesterday morning. The Tark Board will hold a meet ing in December and plans will be made for the improvements for 1925, provided the legislature will appro priate the funds which will be neces sary. The legislature gave only $10,000 to the Board to be spent during the first two years. It is known by ev ery member of the board that this sum is entirely inadequate. With so much to be done to impress visitors, including the proposal to add exhib its to those now shown in the house, at least $10,000 a year will be re quired. People who have visited the Park this year, including many members of the legislature seeking re-election, are convinced that the park must not be permitted to suffer for lack of funds. Every visitor this year will be a "lobbyist" for the enterprise when the legislature convenes. Nebraska City Press. MEDICAL SOCIETY MAY MEET IN OMAHA NEXT Des Moines, la., Sept. 19.
