parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Thim
gan. having come to Cass county in

Naperville, Illinois, in the Evangeli
cal faith. With his message he re

MANY NOTABLE
PASS
WITH CONGRESS
General Isaac Sherwood. Ninety
Years Old of Ohio. Olieit Mem-
ber tc Pass Ont of Congress.
Washingtr.n. Fed. 26. When con
gress adjourns March 4. many prom
inent figures in the house will hear
their names called for the last tim.
barring later return.
Probably the most picturesque fig
ure of all who either relinquish their
seats or are advanced to the senate,
is Representative Isaac R. Sher
wood, democrat. Ohio, 90 year old.
Sherwood was answering roll calls
in congress: before many of its Bitting
members were born. Prior to this,
he enlisted under General Grant as
a private in 1S61 and was mustered
out in 1S65 as a brigadier general.
He first entered the national leg
islature in 1S72, when the forty
third congress convened. Serving two
years, Sherwood took a long vaca
tion and atrain showed up in the
house in 1906 for the sixtieth con
gress. He was re-elected to ?ach
succeeding congress until the sixty
seventh, in 1920, when his ronsitu
ency gave him another vacation. Un
deterred by his 86 years, Sherwood
made a vigorous campaign in 1921
'"eted again to serve in
the closing congress, which con
vened in 1922.
Despite his advanced age. Sher
wood is far from feeble. His onl'
trouble is that of bad hearing, bu:
with the aid of a tranpmitter and
ear phone, he manages to keep pace
with the proceedings of the house.
During the last congress, when he
was not a member, he could not re
sist the urge to be present at th3
sessions of the house, so he regis
tered in the press gallery as a rep
resentattve of an Ohio newspaper.
"I am about to retire to the simple
life of a private citizen." said Sher
wood. "I feel It due to my col -leagues
to express my deep appreci
ation for the uniform courtesies and
kindness I have received at their be
hest. During the remaining short
span of life, the years I spent in
comradship with so many splendid
gentlemen, in this historic chamber
will be most delightful and Faired
memories."
When Speaker Gillett raps his gav
el at noon on March 4. he will round
out thirty-two years of service In
the lower body. He was sent to the
house in 1892, and has served con
tinuously ever since. He has held
the speakership post since 1918. On
he goes, the way of some few hourte
members, to the senate, where he is
expected to be a leading Coolidge
lieutenant despite the unwritten
"freshman rule."
When Representative Samuel E.
Winslow. republican. Massachusetts,
retires voluntarily March 4. he will
relinquish a congressional champion
ship that he has held during his en
tire twelve years of service that of
weight.
Winslow tips the beam at approxi
mately 300 pounds and will pass t'ie
heavyweight litis down to Repre
sentative Tincher, republican. Kan
sas, who falls a few pounds short of
the Massachusetts member.
Mrs. Mae E. Nolan. California,
only woman member during the dy
ing session, also will pass out an
March 4. She has served a year and
a half succeeding her husband, who
died while in office.
Leaving voluntarily after sixteen
years' service. Representative John
O. McKenzie, republican, Illinois

time ago when he was elevated to
the chairmanship of the military af

of Representative Julius Kahn of
California.
Representative Frank Clark, demo
crat. Florida, will leave twenty year
at service behind him when he starts
March 3 for his citrus fruit grove in
St. Lucie county. Florida. Clark has
been a popular member of the ha i

sentative Everett Sr.nders. republi

be a great asset in the new job.
Minnesota has threi veterans

Sehall leaves the house to enter the
senate, while Representatives Davis
and Anderson enter private life. Da
vis quits after twenty years, while
Anderson has served fourteen. Had
not the seniority rule been !
aside several years ago, Davis would
have become chairman cf the pow
erful appropriations committee in
stead of Representative Madden of
Illinois.
In drawing up the annual fupply
bills, the appropriations committee
in the next congress will be hard
hit by the absence of Representative
Byrnes, democrat. Soutn Carolina.
Byrnes retired last fall to run for
the senate, but was defeated by
Governor Blease.
The "social bloc" in the house
will suffer the loss of Representa
tives Ward and Snyder. New York.
Both have been socially prominent
duuing their services here.
SANTE FE OBJECTS IN
GRAIN RATES HEARING
Sioux City. Ia., Feb. 26. Opposi
tion to Kansas City s request for
lower freight rates on grain ship
ments to the southwest, being held
before a representative of the inter
state commerce commission in con
nection with Sioux City's request for
similar rate reductions, featured to
day's hearing.
B. F. E. Marsh, of the Sante Fe
Railroad, representing the southwest
ern lines, had nothing to say of the
Sioux City's request, but objected to
Kansas City's demand on the ground
that the re-adjustment akd would
necessitate a complete revision of all
rate now in existence, and would
create serious embarrassment for the
roads.

SALE OF BUTTER
SUBSTITUTES HIT
Cc-r nt-retive Dfiirv Head Atteeka th
arge Amount of Margarine Pur
chased by Nebraskans.
Th; ."' r:i.-ka, one of the Isadirifc
dairy states, bought 165,000 pounds
of butter substitute.-; for the state in
stitutions in 1924. is the charge made
today by O. Hanson, general man
ager of the Farmers' Equity Co-oper-ative
Cre-emery association, Orleans,
Neb.
Hanson says that 90,000 fanners
throughout the state are interested
in dairying and that in 1921 they
paid per cent of the state taies
and have an investment of 400,00D,
000 in the dairy business and own
about half a million cows.
Forcing taxpayers to compete with
the south sea islands, where cocoa
nut oil, used as butter substitute,
comes from, is derided by Hanson,
who points out the methods used to
protect dairy farmers in other states.
Wisconsin, another dairy state,
pronibits the manufacture and sale of
margarine. Iowa has a bill provid
ing that state institutions should re
frain from butter substitutes. South
Dakota does not use substitutes in
its state institutions.
The present surplus of butter is
hurting the state dairy interests,
Hansen maintains.
EROTHERS OF COLLINS
TURN AGAINST FATHER
Munfordvill. Ky., Feb. 26. Three
brothers at Floyd Carina, who lost
his life when pinned by a boulder
while exploring the recesses of Sand
cave near Cave City, have filed peti
tions in the Hart county court to
have their father. Lee Collins, dis
qualified as administrator of the vic
tim's estate.
The estate consists principally of
Floyd's half interest in Crystal cave,
owned jointly by Lee Collins, as it
was discovered on the Collins farm
by the cave victim.
The brothers. Homer, Mar?hall
and Andy Lee, alleged in their peti
tions, that their father is "non com
pos mentis." Grief because of his
son's death and his are are stated to
be contributing factors to his alleged
condition.
Mrs. Cyril Kalina and children,
Edward and Betty, were among the
visitors in Omaha today where they
will enjoy a week end visit with rel
atives and friends in that city.
