BOEDEKER, Clerk Another Scrap Over the Control Board in Sight Appointment of Mrs. Benson Arouses Opposition; Weaver's Second Appointee to Job. Lincoln, Feb. 1. Another senate scrap over Governor Weaver's board of control appointments loomed Fri day when members of that body de clared considerable opposition pre vailed against Mrs. Nellie Benson of Silver Creek, the governor's second appointee. Just a week ago the sen ate refused to confirm the appoint ment of Mrs. Charles G. Ryan of Grand Island, and Thursday the gov ernor submitted the name of Mrs Benson. The only direct action taken on tne appointment Friday morning came when Senator Rickard of Guide Rock moved that a committee be named to investigate the qualifica tions of Mrs. Benson. Senator Rick ard was appointed chairman of the committee, and Senators Kennedy of Broken Bow and Schepman of Falls City were named as the other two members. Man Favored. Questioning of nearly half the members of the upper house uncover ed that the opposition is not so much to Mrs. Benson, personally, since practically none of the senators are acauainted with her, but because there is a general feeling that a man should have been appointed. This opinion was expressed by practically every member interviewed. Furthermore there is considerable dissatisfaction among the democratic members because of the report that Mrs. Benson bolted the party ticket for Hoover. One democrat asserted that he would rather "a republican had been appointed than a bolter." It was also rumored that the W. C. T. U., which led the opposition to Mrs. Ryan, would also oppose Mrs. Benson, though it could not be learn ed on what grounds. No messages of protest have been yet received by the members of the senate so far as could be learned. May Go Through. It is predicted, however, that un less some serious objection is raised the appointment wlil be confirmed. This prediction is based on the as sumption that a number of the mem bers who are more or less on the line, will vote for the confirmation in order to save the governor the embarrassment of having a second appointment turned down, even through they are not entirely satis fied. Senator Harry K. Easton. Omaha, democrat, said he would insist on a thorough investigation of Mrs. Ben son's qualifications. The senate went into the commit tee of the whole for a Bhort time be fore adjourning and advanced S. F. No. 88 to third reading. The bill provides for state inspection and supervision to be paid by bee owners. The body then adjourned until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Omaha Bee-News.

Asks Twenty Thousand a Year to Boost State Bureau of Immigration Proposed to Attract Peope to State Club Met Here Friday That Nebraska should have a pub licity and promotion . bureau doing the work that the Chamber of Com merce does in each city is the belief of the 50 members of the Greater Nebraska club which met Thursdav noon at the Ad-Sell restaurants at Omaha. "All possible effort should be ex pended to induce the state to ap propriate 30 thousand dollars a year for the establishment and mainten ance of a bureau of immigration un der the state department of agricul ture," L. P. Carpenter of Hastings told the club members. He pointed out that numerous inquiries were re ceived by the secretary of state re garding conditions and descriptions of various counties by "people desir- ng to move to Nebraska, but that there was no state bureau especially designed to handle these requests. "People will only realize the op portunities offered by Nebraska when hey are told about them," said Mr. Carpenter. In a study of the similar bureaus n other states. Mark M. Shaw, sec retary, said that in 192o Oregon pent 3F thousand dollars for pub- icity and brought Cs2 new families o the state who invested $1,950,- 000. "The taxeB alone on this new mo ney would more than "jnain tain such bureau of immigration, he said. 'The six New England states have banded together in the realization that they must 'sell New England' and have appropriated 300 thousand dollars a year for a period of three ears. California and Florida have been at it for a long time." Mr. Shaw read a letter received rom Harry K. Eastman, state sena- or. He wrote: "The co-operation between all civic, cvommercial and booster clubs and kindred agencies is most important, but to my mind the greatest object of your club would be to undertake to induce our legis lature to establish and adequately maintain, by a liberal yearly appro priation, a state department of pub licity and development, such a de partment properly functioning can add, on the overage. So to the value of every acre of farm land in Ne braska." The club is headed by W. F. Poff of Omaha. Hugh Meyers is vice- president. JURY BELIEVES BLIND MAN Chicago, Feb. 1. A jury today believed the story of a blind organ ist that he could recognize persons by their voices and in ten minutes found Fred Leonardi guilty of rob bery, carrying with it a sentence of from one to twenty years miprison- ment. Richard Boehler, the organist, testified that Leonardi had been his best friend. He said he and Leon ardi were driving home in an auto mobile when Leonardi stopped the car. A few seconds later a voice commanded him to hold up his hands and he was robbed of $100 and bis watch. The blind organist said he recognized the robber's voice as Leonardi's and declared he could not possibly have been mistaken. ELECTION COSTS RUN HIGH New York. Feb. 1. The New York City board of elections reported today that its expenses for 1928 totalled $2,298,656, which is more dollars than there were votes cast here for all the presidential candidates in the November elections. There were 1,973,758 such votes.2 The money- spent by the board of elections, how ever, cannot all be charged up again st the one election, almost $85,000 for instance being spent for new vot ing machines which will serve in future elections also. The largest single item was $723,249, the pay for election officers. J DAWES PLANS TRIP TO OLD WORLD SOON Washington. Feb. 1. Vice Presi dent Charles G.

ELKS TO HAVE MINSTREL The Elks lodge of this city are ar ranging to present a minstrel show here after Easter, sometime in March, which from the advance dope should be a real knockout. Many of the public will recall the big minstrel that the Elks staged here back in the days "before the war," when Jim Pollock and the chorus of some thirty or forty assort ed varieties of singers and comedians staged and which proved a real suc cess in every way. This year the minstrel will lack many of the features of that of yes teryear, Fred Dawson not being here o supply the explosions for the cli max of the first part, but Sidney Bell. the exalted ruler, states they will have many features qually as good and lacking the danger.

There are many reasons for the ease of steering the new Ford THE new Ford is exception ally easy to steer because of the well - proportioned weight of the car, the eteel ppoke wheels, the co-ordinated design of springs and shock absorbers, the size and design of the steering wheel, and the simple me chanical construction of the steering gear. The Ford steering gear is of the worm and sector type used on high-priced cars and is three-quarter irreversible. In simple, non-technical language, this means that the car responds easily and quickly lo the steering wheel, yet there is no danger of the wheel being jerked from the liands of the driver by ruts or bumps in the road. A light touch guides the car, yet you always have that necessary feel-of-the-road so essential to good driving. Strength of materials and careful workmanship give unusual stability to the Ford steering gear and housing. The steering worm, for instance, is ep lined to the steering worm shaft and is stronger, of course, than if a single kev were used to bold a Ford Motor Company YOUNG PEOPLE MARRIED From Saturday' Darty This morning at the office of Coun ty Judge A.

The young people are well known in the county where they have spent their lifetime, the bride being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T.

Don't delay-first ones get them. the shaft and worm to gether. The steering worm sector is forged and ma chined in the same piece with its shaft. The housing of the steer ing gear mechanism is made of three steel forgings, elec trically welded together. This housing is then electri cally welded to the steering column. Such a one-piece steel unit is naturally much sturdier than if several parts were used and bolted or riv eted together. Throughout, the new Ford steering mechanism is so simple in design and so care fully made that it requires practically no attention. The only thing for you to do is to have the front steer ing spindles, spindle con necting rods, and drag link lubricated every 500 miles and the steering gear lubri cated every 2000 miles. For this work, you will find it best to consult the Ford dealer. He has been specially trained and equipped to help you get the greatest possible use from your car over the long est period of time at ' a minimum of trou- ed by those who have the pl assure of his acquaintance. Mr. Sampson is veteran of the World war and well known in this city and vicinity. Mt. and Mrs. Sampson will make their home in the future on the farm of the groom near Mynard and where they will be at home to their friends in the future. N. D.
