needing to be shod on account or. tne
condition of the roads and the fact
that the farmers were taking advan
tage of the time when they could not
shuck corn to deliver what they al
ready had picked to the elevators.
Raymond Bramblett shelled and
delivered corn to the Cj. G. Mci
Carthey elevator on last Saturday,
he did not care to have it shelled
at that time, but as the crib which
was well filled burst and this allow
ed an opportunity for getting room
for the remainder of the corn which
has not been picked. So Ray shelled
and delivered the corn and now will
pick the balance.

forgot-the matter of safety, and i'ttJ
some way Elmer w ltnrow iounu
himself precipitated in. the scalding
vat, and Jack Lidgett had to hasten
to town for another, suit of clothes

tt Mto;r, Service Restored.
The motor ibfwhfch' did service
between Union and Lincoln"' some
time since, and which was burned
several weeks since, when the round
house burned at Lincoln, has been
rebuilt and the service of the car
will be restored this week, and the
steam train taken off. The differ
ence between the maintenance of
the two kinds of service strongly
recommends the use of the motor car
for this run. All may now expect
to see the "Galloping Goose" as
many call it, in the future. .

I wish to thank everyone for the
beautiful cards that were sent to
me last Thursday which was arrang

SAYS RAILWAY'S NEGLECTED
Houston, Tex., Dec. 10. Samuel
O. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age,
tonight told the Knife and Fork
club that the federal government was
"trying to promote the welfare of
all other industries, and fostering de
velopment of other means of trans
portation, while doing absolutely
nothing to help the railways."
"On the contrary," "he said, "it is
imposing burdenp and restrictions
upon them which constantly increase
the danger that, as before the war,
they will be unable to render satis
factory service."
As promoting competition with
railways, Mr. Dunn cited the con
struction of the Panama canal and
operation of the Mississippi barge
line.
"The effects of this dual govern
ment policy of spending the taxpay
ers' money to promote competition
which diverts traffic from the rail
ways, and at the same time so regu
lating their rates as arbitrarily to
restrict their earning to less than a
fair return, are becoming apparent,"
he said. "Within eight years, the
railways have lost one third of their
passenger business."

LOSES CHICKENS AND TURKEYS
The office of Sheriff Bert Reed was!
notified this morning of the fact that I
someone had visited the farm of
Martin Doud near Greenwood, last
night and made away with the chick
ens and turkeys that have been the
pride and joy of the farm. The loss
will be quite heavy from a financial
standpoint as the chickens and the
turkeys were ready for the Christ
mas market. Sheriff Reed drove out
to Greenwood today to investigate
the matter and learn if Dossible of
some .trace of the party or parlies!
that had committed the depredations
in that locality. There has been a
great deal of this form of stealing
going on in all sections of the coun
ty and by the time the theft is dis
covered the parties have had time to
get well under cover with the chick
ens and makingit hard to locate the
persons that are staging the rob
beries. Those who have large flocks
of chickens should maintain a watch
ful eye on them at night and if the
chicken thieves appear give them a
good warm reception that they will
not soon forget.

Tourists Helping
Europe Maintain
Money Reserves
Visitors From United States Spend
ing Far More Than War
Debt Eeceipts
Washington Tourists from the
United States will have spent $900,
,000,000 in foreign travel by the close
of 1928, Dr. Ray Hall, economist of
the finance and investment division
of the Commerce Department, esti
mates. This sets a new high peak
for total expenditures, and also for
the increase over the preceding year
of more than $100,000,000.
It also has a marked influence on
the burden of international payments
in equalizing the flow of goods and
money around the globe. For ex
ample, the total war debt receipts in
the United States last year were
$206,000,000, compared to the much
higher grand total which the Amer
ican tourists are carrying out with
them to other lands.
Every tourist bound for Europe
and spending American dollars helps
the financial rehabiltation o that
continent. Dr. Hall points out, by
equalizing the reserves of the Atlan
tic. Passports issued by the Depart
ment of State show an increase of
21.4 per cent over the corresponding
period of 1927.
Record-Breaking Increase
The npTiartment of Labor records
318,419 citizens departed in the first
nine months of the present year, as
against 284,999, an increase of 11.7
per cent. With the summer peak of
tourist travel now well past sufficient
figures are believed available to make
a preliminary estimate for the year.
A record-breaking total, and a rec
ord breaking increase of American
tourist expenditures during 1928 now
seem assured," is the way Dr. Hall
sums it up.
The United States is getting the
money for its "trip to Europe."
largely from Europe itself, the record
of international finances disclosed.
There is the sum brought to the
United States by reparations, and
alsa the interest on the tremendous
sum invested by Americans abroad,
which gave the United States a fa
vorable balance of $500,000,000 in
terest payments last year. These fa
vorable balances are now being off
set in considerable part by the ex
penditures of American tourists
abroad.
Hoover Commented on Facts
Herbert Hoover commented on this
same fact in the foreward to Dr.
Hall's survey of "The Balance of In
ternational Payments," made last
year. The sum expended by Amer
ican tourists abroad, plus the remit
tances of imniigr&3tr, In the United

American charitable contributions
and freight charges to foreign coun
tries, Mr. Hoover said, "almost ex
actly offset the net amount paid to
us by foreigners for interest on their
private debts and upon their war
debts to our Government."
This year, according to the prelim
inary figures, an even larger return
is being made by Americans to the
outside world through the agency of
foreign travel.
Banker Killed
Beneath Train
Bradley, of Wolbach, Apparently
a Suicide at Central City
Benk is Eeported Sound
Central City, Neb., Dec. 8. C.
Bradley, banker and wealthy land
owner of Wolbach, Neb., apparently
committed suicide here today, by ly
ing on the rails in the path of the
Union Pacific Gold Coast . limited.
His body was dragged more than
one hundred feet ana Daaiy man- chamber.
gled before the engine was brought Senator Dale, (R. ), Vermont, led
to a stop. The act was committed 1 a drive to use marble, while the ori
beforc more than a dozen persons ginai plans called for stone work,
standing on the platform at the he subcommittee will report next
depot. j Saturday.
Bradley, who was seen around Cen-
tral City Saturday morning appeared )
at the depot about 1 o clock and con-
versed with several men.
"I talked to Bradley for several
minutes just before the train was
due," Paul Lenhardt, a farmer who
witnessed the tragedy, said.
"Finally he left me and went to
a group of men to talk. He appeared
calm and we talked about state poli
tics and farm relief.
"The next I saw, Bradley was
walking down the platform. The
men with whom he had talked were
paying no attention to him. Just off
the end of the platform, I saw Brad
Icy walk to the center of the rails,
and calmly lie down. The train was
whistling for the station.
"I shouted, but before I could at
tract the attention of more than a
dozen persons on the platform, the
train swept over Bradley. I didn't see
it strike him," Lenhardt said.
Bcdy Badly Mangled
Lenhardt said Bradley's body, bad
ly mangled, was carried more than a
hundred feet along the track.
The Gold Coast limited stops
at
Central City only to receive or dis-
WQ nn

It was due through here at 1:30 p. fi
m. The train was traveling aoout -
25 to 30 miles an hour when Brad
ley was struck. When he was sight
ed by the engineer, the whistle of the
locomotive was jerked open and sent
a shrill blast, resounding thru which
with the grinding of the brakes brot
hundreds of townspeople and shop

WILL LET LIGHT IN ON SENATE
Washington, Dec. 9. If there is
a special spring session of congress
the senate will probably meet in
temporary quarters.
Remodeling of the senate cham
ber to give more light and air, under
the Copeland bill, would begin in
March, 1929, if suggestions endorsed
by the senate rules committee are
accepted by the senate.
The measure, passed last session,
provides for the expenditure of
$440,000 to move the senate chamber
to the front of the north side of the
capitol, and to put three huge win
dows in the wall to provide light and
air. The chamber is now ventilated
solely by skylights. It is expected the
work will be completed by the open
ing of congress next December.
A subcommittee of Senators Smoot,
(R.) , Utah; Reed, (R. ), Pennsyl
vania, and McKellar, (D.), Tennes
