Quiet Wedding Saturday Night.
On Saturday the home of Rev. W.
A. Taylor at Union was the scene of
n very pretty wedding when Miss
Grace Buelah Duff of Cedar Creek and
Charles L. Greene of Union were unit
ed in the bonds of wedlock. The mar
riage lines were read by Rev. Taylor
and the ceremony witnessed by Mr.
and Mrs. Harry O'Brien, the latter a
sister of the bride.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of the late Dr. J. B. Duff and wife and
was born and reared in Cedar Creek
and is a graduate of the Plattsmouth
schools and since completing her
school work has been engaged in
teaching over the county in the rural
schools.
The groom is one of the young
business men of Union, being a part
ner in the firm of Rihn & Greene and
is, one of the most highly esteemed
young men of that portion of Cass
county.
The many friends will join in wish
ing Mr. and Mrs. Greene many years
of happiness and success in th future
years that lie before them. '

We chanced to see Raymond Irwin
and some of his boy chums carrying
a very fine cedar chest to his home as
a present for his mother and a fact
which we think one of the very nicest
acts which a son can do to remember
the mother with such an acceptable
present. This is one of a number of
such ' pieces of workmanship which
the students of the manual training
department of the schools have ac
complished during the past winter.
David Mead has also constructed one,
and it was hinted that there were
others, but we were not able to find
who they were.

Details Reasons
for Failure of the
GrainCompany
Failure to Sell Stock Is Given the
Blame by Rosenbaum Testi
fies at Hearing.
Chicago, 111., April IX. A co-operative
marketing plan for grain farm
ers was wrecked on the indifference
of those it sought to aid, Emanuel F.
Rosenbaum, New York and Chicago
broker, who started the plan, told
the grain investigating committee of
the Illinois legislature today.
Inability of farm organizations to
sell stock in the Grain Marketing
company, which they had accepted aa
a vehicle of remedy in 1922 and 1923,
caused the failure of the company,
tho broker declared.
The marketing organization had its
inception in a conversation between
Rosenbaum and Frank P. Walsh, a
Chicago attorney, in 1922. Walsh had
investigated co-operative marketing
in Russia, Denmark, Germany and
Ireland. I
After many conferences with gov-j
ernment officials, elevator owners
and farm group heads, the marketing
company was organized by the Rosen
baum Grain coroporation. Rosen
baum Brothers, the Armour Grain
company and Davis-Merrill company
of Kansas City.
Besides elevators, terminals and
offices worth 17 million dollars, the
companies turned over 30 million dol
lars of contracts to the company,
Rosenbaum declared. A year's option
was given the farm organizations to'
acquire the properties, during which j
they were to pay four million dollars:
to the founders. It was to be obtained I
from the sale of stock. When the'
stock selling proposal went to the:
, wall, the Grain Marketing company
followed.

The Pure McCoy!
Pordon the slang; we're excited.
We can't keep our enthusiasm for this New
Goodyear Tire below a college cheer!
They said when they announced it that
it's "The Greatest Tire in the World!'
That's putting it about as you can in good
English.
But when you see this tire when you know
what this new-type tread specially designed
for balloon wear really means to you
you'll get pepped-up, too.
No more skidding, no more uneven and fast
tread wear, no more of the things that have
made some fellows say of other balloons,
"I'd almost as soon have old-fashioned tires."
It's the pure McCoy! That's all.
and you'll say the same.

BENEFITS OF COMPULSORY
INSURANCE QUESTIONABLE
Compulsory automobile liability in
surance is being experimented with
in the state of Massachusetts and is
prominently discussed in political
circles in many other states. Figures
recently preparted by Frank E. Hel
vey of the Insurance Federation of
Nebraska, give information which
can be applied to practically every
state with suitable changes of pro
portionate increase or -decrease in
population, as compared with Nebras
ka.
Mr. Helvey's figures for Nebraska
show a total registration of 337, 9S9
passenger cars and 2S.784 trucks, or
a total of 366, 773 registered auto
mobiles for the year 1926. Of this
number, 112,878 passanger cars and
12,137 trucks, or a total of 125,015
automobiles, were owned and used on
Nebraska farms, and it is estimated
that farm machines will increase to
140,000 in 1924.
Personal injuries and property
damage from automobiles as check
ed up from Nebraska newspapers for
a period of more than a year, from
May 1, 1925, show that only 1.3 per
cent of th etotal reported accidents
were traceable to farm-owned cars.
Under compulsory automobile lia
bility insurance in a state like. Ne
braska, a farmer would have to pay
40 per cent of the accident and dam
age bill, although liable for only a
little over one per cent of the actual
damage. Under a compulsory law in
Nebraska, it is estimated car owners
would be forced to pay annually $5,
686, 36S, of which sum the farmers
would pay $2,240,00 per year to in
sure solvency on their part for a
1.3 per cent responsibility for acci
dents. The benefiits to be derived from
this tj'pe of compulsory insurance are
questionable when compared with en
couragement of increased litigation
and possible recklessness.
