FALLS FROM WAGON; DIES
NTehmskn Citv. Nov. 18. Law
rence Hope, jr., four year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hope,
was instantly killed when he leu
from a corn husking wagon driven
bv his father while working on the
John O'Neal farm near Dunbar this
morning.
The father had taken his son to
to the field with him ana tne Doy
was driving the horses. The ground
was frozen and extremely rough
and when the wagon hit a deep hole
the boy became overbalanced and
fell to the ground. His neck, was
broken.
NOTICE
There are several families of chil
dren in the community that are in
great need of clothing. Dresses and
underskirts for girls from five to
thirteen are especially needed.
There is one boy of three years that
can use whatever clothing you may
have that is suitable. These families
have been deserted by the father and
merely burned. This caused carbon
to form, and by trickling into the
crangcase diluted the oil.
The new plate vaporizer consists
of a steel plate so thin that it heats
up to 600 degrees within a few min
utes after the engine starts. The gas
oline is caused to strike his hot plate
with an effect precisely similar to
Dourinc water on a hot stove. The
liquid is transformed instantly into
a "dry" gas. The result, it is said.
is that the gasoline explodes with
out burning or condensing. The Ford
company claims that no gasoline is
wasted and that it does 'not escape
to dilue tin? oil or to form carbon.
From a national standpoint the ef
fects of the new system, in this one
company if they are substantiated
by ' practice, will be far-reaching.
officials at the Department of Com
merce said. If the S, 000, 000 or more
Ford cars now registered could all

by the company, 10 miles to the gal

gallons of gasoline a year.
While there is no exact estimate
of the proportion of this total used
by Fords, it is believed it would be
over 25 per cent, or 2,000,000,000
iallois. With such large figures, to
reckon with any ptimary saving has
more than a parochial interest, offi
cials point out, and promises to be
of value in conserving the nation's
dwindling liquid fuel supply.
300,000 POUNDS OF

were found at Erickson's home.
The mother of a Yale student com
plained that bootleggers were selling
liquor to her son, and Erickson was
apprehended on the campus. He was
released on bail.
A year ago Erickson was connect
ed by the police with the "Trumbull
Literary circle," which maintained a
secret "key" society in the heart of
the business district. The raid of the
"literary circle" attracted attention
because raiders seized, among other
things, an extended list of patrons
which was never made public.
A detective sergeant and a police
woman are keeping tab on two gad

So seriously were the attentions

some time ago that a number were
sent to institutions and many more

FARMERS WARNED TO BE
CAREFUL OF SEEN CORN
Nebraska farmers will be seriously
in their corn planting next spring,
unless they take special care now in
selecting and storing their seed corn,
according to a statement issued by
the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foun
dation. Continued rains and over
flowing streams have caused much of
the Nebraska corn to stand in muddy
fields in thep ast month, and excep
tional care must be taken by the
farmer who wants a good stand and
who would reduce his feed bill next
spring.
