Want Better Streets
Murdock. along with the
cities of Cass county, wants
other
better
streets and has had a petition in cir
culation for the placing of gravel on
the streets, so that when the spring
of the year comes and many other
times during wet and muddy periods,
it will be possible to get around with
more ease than when the streets arc
muddy imd wiih ruts and water
holes. There are a large number of
signers and it v.i'l he held open a
short time more that all may have
opportunity to evince their desires
touching the question. The experi
ence of other towns is that after
they have had the streets made pass
able, they do not want to go back to
the old muddy streets.

State to Con
tinue to Use the
Covered Wagon
Design Claimed to Have Been Origin
ated by Matt Thimgan to
Be Continued.
State Purchasing Agent Pirie is
now free to enter into contract with
a St. Louis firm for the manufacture
of 5,500 road markers bearing a de-
sign of a covered wagon and I tm
f oxen. Secretary Cochran of the;
ur.L.UCUb i 1
ceiveu a jener Hum Ae&i&iaiiL miui- j
ney General Ayres expressing the'
belief that the department is justi-
fied in proceeding with the contract
for manufacture of these markers
and in using them "unless and until
enjoined from doing so." Mr. Coch
ran was out of town Thursday. He
said recently he would follow the
attorney general's advice.
Matthew Thimgan of Murdock has
threatened to enjoin the manufac
ture on the ground that he obtained
a patent upon the design of the cov
ered wagon in the fall of 1927. The
state department has been using the
markers for about two years. It is
estimated that the royalty claimed by
Thimgan would amount to $7,000.
Mr. Ayres advises the highway de
partment that Max Dusterhoff, a for
mer resident of Murdock, now living
at Los Angeles where he is a pro
fessioal decorator, says he is the de
signer of the covered wagon in ques
tion and that he says:
"I do not think that Mr. Thim
gan was entitled to a patent in hi3
own name," says Mr. Ayres, "upon
a design that was in reality the work
of Mr. Dusterhoff." He cites the
United States statutes to show that
they require a patent to issue upon
application of and in the name of
the real inventor.
The state highway department
originally called for bids on these
markers, a design to be submitted
with bids. The design submitted by
Mr. Thimgan was altered some and
has since been used by the state.
TAKES RIGID STAND
AGAINST ARBITRATION
Geneva, Feb. 24. A firm stand
was taken at the session of the
league of nations securities commit
tee Thursday by Lord Cushendun,
Britiph delegate, against multi-lateral
arbitration treaties or any too
rigid form of bi-lateral treaty
Alluding to the speeches of the,'?1 country appealed to a senate
Argentine and Chilean representa
tives at a previous sitting. Lord
Cushendun said they had called at
tion to the totaly different circum
stances for which they needed to pro
vide as compared with European
tvates. and asked why it should be
imagined that one treaty could fit
the diverse circumstances of the dif
ferent European states.

Murdock Friends Make Happy the
Passing of Anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Neitzel.
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Evangelical church of Murdock paid
a very fitting and enjoyable tribute
to their oldest member, on Monday
evening, Feb. 20th, when they, with
their husbands gave-a party at the
home of Mrs. Louis Neitzel iu honor
of her golden wedding anniversary.
They presented her with a beauti
ful bouquet of mixed yellow flowers,
and brought refreshments right with
them, so that they only needed the
use of the kitchen for serving.
There were over forty present.
Several members of the company par
ticipated in a short program. All
joined in singing "We Have an
Anchor.". then Mrs. Emma Ward and
Mrs. Edna Rikli sang "Silver
unreaas Among tne oia.
Mrs. Dorothy Mills followed with
1 a reading "That Old Sweetheart of
j Mine," by James Whitconib Riley,
1 Fifty years ago two young men
; worked together in the Studebaker
, Mrs. Mills, for he was none other
than the Hoosier poet.
A short outline of family history
was presented by A. J. Neitzel. which
gave a picture of the difficulties,
hardships, joys and satisfactions of
a preacher's life here in Nebraska
forty-five years ago.
Some of the difficulties of estab
lishing a business and home in Mur
dock were also reviewed.
Following this. Mrs. Hattie Kupke
sang "Put on Your Old Grey Bon
net." and Mr. Charley Long gave a
cornet solo, "When You and I Were
Young Maggie."
Mr. Neitzel spoke to the company,
and very feelingly expressed the ap
preciation cf himself and Mrs. Neit
zel for the fine spirit of friendship
and esteem which was demonstrated
by this gathering. He called atten
tion to the fact that affliction had
i seldom visited the family, and that
their e uas all
d; am, chracuristically gave the
credit to temperate living and the
to temperate
favor of God.
Mr. and Mrs. Neitzel both. come of
long lived stock, some ancesters hav
ing reached the age of ninety-five
years, and both confidently look for
ward to a good many more years of
joy and happiness.
The whole company joined in sev
eral amusing stunts, after which re
freshments of cake, ice cream and
coffee were served.
The last of the party left shortly
before midnigjit and nearly everyone
expressed the intention of coming
back again in twenty-five years for
another party.
LAUDS SMITH AND HOOVER
Boston. Feb. 22. The next presi

Herbert Hoover or Alfred Smith
men of "heroic ambition," Gov. Al
van T. Fuller, republican, said in a
Washington's birthday address to the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company of Boston today.
"The public are better informed
and therefore more independent of
the old time processes and influences
than ever before," the governor
said. "Fof the future we must have
a government that can be loved, not
merely supported. We must have
candidates of heroic ambition de
voted to the interests of the strug
gling' millions, men determined to
alleviate the misery of our industrial
towns and mining districts. We must
have men who because of their ideal's
or humble beginnings will be devot
ed to the interests of the people as
opposed to the sinister influences,
which, operating behind the scenes,
have played an altogether too im
portant part in our national govern
ment. DRUGGISTS SEEK RELIEF

MEXICAN CONSUL OUSTED
Los Angeles, Feb. 23. Carlos V.
Ariza, Mexican consul in Calexico,
Calif., for three years, today was
dismissed on orders from Jtnaro Es
trade, undersecretary of state at
Mexico City. Ariza was instructed to
turn over his office to Hermolao E.

More Hogs and
Horses of the
State Marketed
Decreasing: Horse Population Stirs
Kaiket 27 Per Cent More
Hogs are Killed.
Horses and hogs were the only
farm animals going to market in
larger numbers in January than in
the same month last year or for the
past five years, figures obtained by
the state and federal bureau of agri
cultural statistics revealed. Horses
showed a 77 per cent increase over
last year and hogs 24. S per cent.
Cattle decreased 4.2 per cent, when
compared with January, 1!C7.
The steadily decreasing horse pop
ulation seems to have stirred market
activity in horses and mules, the re
port said. Receipts totalled 87.55!
in January, compared with an aver
age of CS.SG5 head for the f;e years
1H2.U1027. Hog receipts were 1.2
per cent above the average for Janu
ary of the last live years, hut prices
were, ruinously low, clue in part to
the heavy production. Receipts this
year in January were 24 per cent
above the average for January of the
last live years, but prices were ruin
ously low, due in part to the heavy
production. Receipts this year in
January were 24. S per cent greater
than the same period last year.
Cattle received at markets totalled
1,272,396 head, a 4.2 per cent de
crease over last January; alves fell
off 1.1 per cent and lambs 2 rer cent
in receipts. More cattle went Lack
to the country for feeding than last
year, but 90,995 or 43.9 per cent
fewer lambs were shipped out for
feed'ng.
This year 5,305,840 hogs went to
sixty-seven reporting markets in
January, compared to '4,25i;663 last
year. Cut of that number, only 77.
471 were reshipped as stocker and
feeding hogs as compared with 9S,
671 head reshipped for that purpose
last year. The number of hogs
slaughtered showed a 27. S pc. cent
increase over last year in January,
and on February 1, 1D2S. the United
States had S7.7S0.000 pounds of lard
in storage compared with 69.756.000
pounds in February. 1927. On Febru
ary 1. 192S, there were 794.319,000
pounds of meat in storage, compared
with 750,5 03,000 pounds last Febru
ary 1st.
With this increase in reserve pros
pects of a large lamb crop and much
of the hog surplus still to come to
market, the prediction of 6 to 10 per j
cent reduction in cattle marketing
for the last year does not indicate an
early revision of present values to the
farmer.

The Year's Pro
gram of Good
Roads Assn.
Resolutions Call for Enlargement
and Continuance of Read Pro
gram ; For Gas Tax Boost
The Nebraska Good Roads asso
ciation is a state-wide organization
composed of business men, farmers
and community service organizations.
I The object of this association is to
co-ordinate the citizenship of Ne
braska in a centralibed and con
tinued mass effort to promote the
construction and maintenance of the
modern highways of the state, that
state-wide distribution and communi
cation mal be developed to the high
est degree.
The 1928 program as adopted by
pproximately five hundred men as-
embled in convention at Norfolk, is
a
sembled
composed of five resolutions:
That as fast as funds are avail
able, we proceed to complete the
present gravel program.
When the system of state roads is
completed, they will carry a large
percentage of all traffic.
II
That the two cent gasoline tax.
as it now stands both as to use and Capons, over 8 lbs., per lb
appointment, be continued.
This is necessary to continue the
present gravel program.
Ill
That an additional tax of one cent
on gasoline be added, the proceeds of.
which shall be used to construct and I
maintain county roads as feeders to
state highways.
The object of this resolution is to
furnish funds for graveling the coun-i
tv .nnric if,r,t nont.i:H. r,f a
county tax levy. This additional one
cent would furnish about one and
nn-half million iriir nrr vo.-ir .-ill
of which would go to the counties,
It is estimated this will gravel an-
proximately two thousand miles of
county roads each year and would
connect every town and market with
every ether town and market in the
state. There are about three hun
dred towns in Nebraska not on the
state system.
IV
That legislation be passed or pres
ent laws be so amended whereby
counties can vote bonds for perman
ent improvement of state and federal
roads, said bonds and interest to be
retired out of the state 2c tax ac
cording to each county's apportion
ment. The association is not asking for
and dees not approve of any larg'
pnving program, however, there are
some short stretches of highways
where the traffic is so heavy that the
cost or maintenance of gravel is an
economic waste. This resolution simp
ly asks for permission to anticipate
the 2e gas tax and federal aid, by
the counties, that wish to vote bonds
for the purpose of paving these short
rtretches. This would in no way in
terfere with any other county's ap
portionment of these funds. It will
largely apply to counties where the
present gravel program is completed
or nearly so, and where it has been
impossible to maintain other sur
facing.
V
That the auto registration license
fees be restored to the original figure
which existed prior to 1925 and that
a division be made as follows: Fifty
per cent of the total registration fees
to go to the counties for construct
ing and maintaining county roads as
feeders to state highways: Fifty per
j cent to go to the state for the main-
tenance of the state highway sys
tem, provided that not to exceed
forty per cent of such state share
may be used by the department of
puonc woikb ior construction oi
highways, or to assist in the con
, ftruction cf highways where such
construction is neccrssary to obtain
( conti,luitv. cf jmDrovement
The main nliippt the association
j hag iu offering lhis resolution is to
create a floating fund. This would
. f!.nish f,1?1f, ut ran h shifted
about for the betterment of the en-
. tirp svstenK Tiie average license fee
in Nebraska is ten dollars. The av
oraee in the rnjted States is thir-
. tepn fonars. if Nebraska adds two
doiIars to her license fees. Nebras
kans WOuld still be paying one dol-
ilar under the average in the United
cfa(.s
The work of the Nebraska Good
Roads association is the carrying on
of an educational campaign. Their
principle means of doing this is by
means of lectures, talks and dis
cussions with community clubs,
chambers of commerce and other
civic organizations.

St. Louis, Feb. 23.-Next summer
when you are cutting dandelions out
of your lawn, you probably will have
more respect for them than you have

ped from Texas over that railroad
for northern and eastern markets.
This is said to be the first solid car
load of dandelions shipped to market
over the Missouri Pacific lines, al
though smaller quantities have teen
