endeavoring to secure him. he being
a large jack, the rabbit in his efforts
to get away, kicked and on.; of the
toe nails which are long inflicted a
gash half an inch deep and fully
two inches long on the top of one
of Sterling's feet, and he is about
laid up from the wound. Donald,
who is about the same age, also had
some experience the same day. . He
got one of his feet in too close prox
imity to the head of a snapping
turtle, and that gentleman took a
grab at the young man's foot, also
inflicting a very ugly wound. Foth
the- boys, however, are getting along
nicely, but have quite a time nursing
their wounds.
Will Straighten Salt Creek
Salt Creek, which is a meandering
stream, doubling back on itself in its
course and occupies much land in
this neighborhood which is very
valuable for farming purposes, will
be made to run straight in the fu
ture. The idea has been conceived
of straightening its course and thus
salvaging some of the valuable lands
which are now wasted, unless the oc
cupancy of the land by the creek may
be counted worthwhile. However,
the channel of the stream is to be
straightened and this land reclaim
ed. The ditching machine, which is
to be used, is in readiness at this
time and work will soon be begun
on the project.
Will Visit in Northwest
Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Blain and
daughter, Lois, who have been mak

try for his firm, were visiting in

B. Blain, started for the northwest on
Monday of this week, his first stop
being at Winner, South Dakota, and
from there he will continue on to
the mountains. His firm is contem-
Pting sending him to Florida fcr
the coming winter.
Will Greenwood Have Waterworks
The Question will come up for
settlement about July 1st, and all
who are wideawake to their best in
terest, are working very earnestly
for the consumation of this proposi
tion. We are in hopes that the pro
posal will win out. The matter of
paving at Weeping Water has awak
ened the town to renewed efforts in
the advancement of the town and
she is going forward now as never
before.
To Give Miscellaneous Shower
Mesdames Clyde Newkirk and A.
E. Failing will give on Thursday of
this week a shower in honor of Miss
Cecile Newkirk, who is to be married
during the week to Mr. Lawrence
Dewey Lee. An account of the wed
ding will be given in these columns
in next Monday's Journal.
Say Business is Better
While speaking with the Sanborn
garage of Greenwood last week, they
said they could see a better feeling
in business circles since the coming
of the rain, and that more rain
would also be beneficial.
CALLS KING CORDIAL MAN
New York, June 15. John II
Cownie, glove manufacturer of Des
Moines, la., who shook hands with
King George and introduced his lit
tle son at the Wembly exhibition last
month without going thru the usual
formalities, arrived today on the
Adriatic, vastly amused at the furors
his unconventional act caused.
"I didn't say 'mitt me, king,' in
the first place." he said, "nor (lid I
push thru a crowd to meet, him as
some of the papers reported."
What actually happeneg, he said,
was that the king happened to stand
near him and his son at one of the
booths.
"I looked at the king and nod
ded." he related, "and he, in turn,
nodded back cordially. I said, How
do you do," and asked him if he
would like to shake hands with a
young American, meaning my son.
The king said, 'certainly, and said
it as if he meant it, and shook hands
with both of us. After chatting with
us several moments he passed on to
another booth, expressing the hope
we would enjoy the exhibition and
our stay in England."
The episode stirred the English
papers to protest against the king's
being subject to informal greetings
when in public.
LOUISIANA TOWN WILL

hundred." proudly announces, will

will be available without cost to tax
payers. Most every school demand ia. the
way of stationery, pencils and ink
may be had at the Eates Beck and
Gift Shop. The very best grade of

WORLD'S MOST FA
MOUS POLICE CHIEF
WRITES 'INTO NET'
Richard E. Enright, Police Commis
sioner of New Yor,k Writes
Story of Police Methods.
"Into the Net," the title given to
the new ten chapter Patheserial fea
turing Edna Murphy and Jack Mul-
hall. has a double punch, for its
story, which is by Richard E. En
right, commissioner of police of New
York City, shows hew many beauti
ful girls are caught in the net of a
gang of clever crooks who seek in
the hotres of the wealthy and the
best families for, their victims. And
then it shows how the highly syste
matized and efficient police depart
ment of a big city operates to gather
the criminals into the net of the law.
The Farmele theatre has booked
"Into the Net," to be shown every
week for ten successive weeks, the
first episode showing Thursday and
Friday. Nothing like it has ever
been seen on the screen before. Its
story is based on actual experiences
of the police cf the world's metrop
olis. New York City. It shows how
girls of wealth and social position,
whose associates arc apparently
'bove reproach, suddenly and mys
teriously disappear; it shows where
they are taken and for what purpose,
and bow the crooks profit by their
nefarious trade. But the police are
ever close on their heels, pursuing
them relentlessly and with a cun
ning and cleverness matching their
own. often frustrating their move
ments by anticipating them.
During the unwinding of the
story, which contains mystery, in-1
trigue and romance, every branch of J
the New York police department ia
seen in operation. The strong arm
squad is seen in action in raids;
the department of criminal identifi
cation is shown matching finger
prints; the riot squad uses tear gas;
and machine guns; an underground
telegraph system, with no exposed
wires that can be cut by crooks, is
used to send messages from police
headquarters to precinct stations and
then to signal boxes on the street;
police dogs, police autos and patrol
wagons are used; also boat3 that pa
trol the harbor to the three mile
limit.
Many beautiful girls were required
in producing "Into the Net," and
great care and much time was given
to their selection personally by Mal
colm Strauss, the producer, who
claims that he has found twelve of
the most beautiful girls in the world.
And Mr. Straus3 ought to know as
he is famous for his portrait paint
ings and illustrations. Two beauti
ful women in important parts in the
cast are Edna Murphy and Constance
Bennett. Miss Murphy is featured
in the role of the heroine who is slat
ed by the crooks for abduction and
who succeed after their first attempt
is frustrated by her sweetheart,
played by Jack Mulhall. Miss Ben
nett, as the hero's sister, mysterious
ly disappears in the first episode.
She is the nineteenth rich young
woman reported missing and evi
dence secured in this case draws the
net tighter about the crooks involved
in abduction, gambling, drug smug
gling, robbery and murder.
Frank Lackteen, whose splendid
performance of Hamid Bey in "The
Fortieth Door" won him muih praise,
plays a suave and polished villain,
and Frances Landau is one of his so
ciety decoys. Real policemen were
used, performing the duties written
in the scenario by Frank Leon Smith
exactly as they would have done
them in such an incident in real life.
The fact that "Into the Net" was di
rected by George B. Seitz, the famous
Fatheserial director, guarantees
thrills, sapense, speed and action.
No expense in prodhction was spared
by Malcolm Strauss Productions to
make this the most spectacular, sen
sational and unusual serial ever pro
duced. WOMAN IS ATTACKED BY
WILD BEAST IN WEST
O'Neill. Neb., June 23. Mrs.
Ralph Frice of Lewana, Cherry coun
ty, sister of R. E. Gallagher of this
city, is in a hospital at Broken Bow,
recovering from wounds received
Sunday when she was attacked by a
lynx or wildcat at her ranch home.
The Frice ranch is on the banks
of the North Loup, nine miles from
Brownlee, in Cherry county. The
morning of the attack, Mrs. Price
arose early and stepped out to open
the chicken house. The animal
sprang upon her either from the roof
of the house porch or from the chick
en coop as she entered the yard. Her
screams attracted her husband, who
beat off the beast with ai club. It re
sembled very much an overgrown do
mestic cat.
Lynx and bobcat occasionally are
encountered along the upper Loups
and along the Niobrara, but seldom
unless cornered, attack men. Mrs.
Price received 27 cuts and lacera
tions about the arms and legs in the
encounter.

MRS. LA F0LLETTE DOES
NOT SEEK TO BE NAMED
Madison, Wis., June 23. Activity
among the various forces in the pro

day over the selection of a candi
date for the unexpired term of the
late Senator Robert M. La Follette.
Word was unofficially passed to
day that Mrs. La Follette was not de
sirous of becoming a candidtte, but
it is understood that she is not averse
to having her son, Robert M., make
the race. As a consequence, a boom
has been started in behalf of him.
The candidacy of the son would
undoubtedly cause some resentment
from men who during their lifetime
have fousht shoulder to shoulder
with his father in behaJf of progres

LUMBER MEN TO AID IN
WAR ON INDUSTRIAL WASTE
Washington, June 23. General
use of short-length lumber, nine feet
or less, will save enough forest ma
terial, now wasted, to build 300,000
eight-room dwellings annually, ac
cording to Arthur T. Upson, lumber
technologist of the National Lumber
Manufacturers' association. The as
sociation has set up that objective as
part of its contribution .to the cru
sade on industrial waste being waged
by Herbert Hoover. Data gathered
by the association, the United States
forest products laboratory at Madi
son, Wis., and the lumber division of
the department of commerce now are
in the hands of a committee wnicn is
considering how to stimulate tne
public demand for short lengths,
which are said to be cleaner and. us
ually, of better quality than long
lumber. Mr. Upson said tne snort
length economy proposed is equival
ent in forest conservation to giving
the 20,000 lumber mills of the United
States an entire year's holiday every
tenth year, or about 38,000,000,000
feet of lumber, which would require
all the saw-timber on 380,000 acres
of land.

A worn out furnace is a luxury. It consumes
more fuel. It dirties up the house. It needs
repairs. Even then you can't depend on it,
to keep the house healthfully warm and com
fortable. In actual dollars, a worn out furnace
costs more than a new one.
Buy a WEIR Furnace and the savings in fuel
alone will pay for it. Many WEIR Furnaces
have been in actual 6crvice for from 30 to 40
years, so you know they are good. If you
don't know about the WEIR-come in and let
us explain its advantage and features to you.
You may make the old furnace do, but you'll
spend more than you save.

Sends Letter to Ccunty Treas
urers of the State.
The ftate department cf public
works has sent out the following let
ter to the various county treasurers
over the state covering the amended
automobile law that goes into effect
July 1:
In having your registration books
printed have your county number in
serted before t.'ie receipt number.
Also, have receipt number with the
county number printed on the bot
tom cf tlie certificate that is given
to the owner.
Wo emphatically wish to call your
attention to the form of transfer
which must be used by the dealer in
every instance lor wnicn it is in
tended. (Copy Enclosed.) You are
instructed to keep on hand a supply
of forms to accommodate the small
dealer and individuals. You will
note that Section S365 provides that
every car must be re-registered every
year, regardless of it being in use or
not. If same i3 not registered by
the first of February, penalty must
be charged. This does not apply on
cars for which re-registration is ap
plied for, for 192". on car previously
registered. In Section S37D, you
will notice the change of form which
section explains itseif, except to call
your attention to that part which
reads as follows:
"Provided, that for motor ve
hicles equipped to carry more
than seven persons, the fee shall
be twenty-five dollars ($25.00)
plus seven ($7.00) additional
for each person which said car
is equipped to carry and it
shall be unlawful for the own

$50.00 or a total of $81.00
You will notice that the minimum
fee on trucks has been reduced to
$8.00. All trucks having a maxi
mum total weight ard carrying ca
pacity, not to exceed 3.000 pounds
are included in this class on which
passenger car plates are to be used.
The second class of trucks, includes
aving a 'total weight and car- surance a state monopoly. The peo
capacity of 3.000 to 4.000 bJ an overwhelming vote defeat-
those I
rvins: capacity
poVmd. on which the fee i.s $15.00
On the heavier type of trucks, those
having a total weight and carrying
capacity of more than 4,000 pounds,
the minimum fee is $15.00, 50 cents
for each 100 pounds in excess of 4,
000 pounds.
For example: A truck having a

STATE MUST COMPETE
In Oregon a strongly socialistic
element tried to make casualty in-
in ine piujutsuiuu 10 wipe out all
casualty insurance written by stock
companies. But the 1925 session of
the legislature extended the compen
sation act to take in all state, coun
ty and city officials drawing a sal
ary. Such salaried officials automat
ically go under casualty insurance
by having their occupations classed
as hazardous. In like manner, work
men associationg themselves in part
nership or as individuals to perform
public work, are automatically tak
en under the state casualty Insurance
act.
An individual employer or mem
ber of any firm can become entitled
as a workman to the compensation
benefits taking in farming and oth
er non-hazardous occupations
As larger groups of employers
adopt private casualty insurance and
withdraw from state casualty insur
ance, state commissioners reach out
to declare by law nearly every occu
pation hazardous housewives may
be included next.
