The culprit tok the gander to a
vacant barn, where he stored him,
and returned to town to negotiate a
trade with the market man, and then
returned for the bird. Meanwhile
some things had been happening
which the goose thief did not know
about. He had been observed by Mr.
Miller and also by other parties, and
when he returned to the barn for the
gander, Mr. Miller was there with a
shotgun and ready for the delivery.
When the barn door was opened and
the thief had gotten the gander, Mr.
Miller arose to see how the title had

the sheriff, but with a good trusty
shot gun and itching trigger finger,
he feels that he can amply care for
the situation.

Pioneer Kansas

Manhattan to Celebrate Seventy-Fifth
Anniversary With Jubi

Manhattan, Kan. A jubilee cele
bration has been planned to com
memorate the founding of this com
munity, which was a far western out
post of the New England Emigrant
Aid Company 75 years ago.
The celebration also signalizes the
peaceful growth of Manhattan from
a settlement, that, organized to as-
jist in making Kansas a free state.
was removed from the stirring events
that characterized the early history
cf the Massachusetts aid colonies in
the eastern part of the State, yet
whose activities in the antislavery
movement were sincere but eornpara-
tively undramatic
An historical pageant in the Kan
sas State Agricultural College stu
diura. reviewing the early days of
the region, has been prepared as one
of the events of the celebration dur
ing the week of Oct. 20-2 6.
Coronado, the Spanish explorer, is
thought to have penetrated to ap
proximately this point in Kansas
when he led his ill-fated expedition
in search of gold. Next came Gen. J.
C. Fremont and Kit Carson, who in
1S40 gave to the present site of Man
hattan the name of Bluemont. One
of the colonizing groups arrived here
i In a steaniooat wnica. cemms irom
Cincinnati, O., navigated the Kansas
River. This craft was burned here,
but its ship's bell was rescued rr.d
hangs n the belfry cf the local
Methodist Church.
The founding of the Kansas State
Agricultural College is one of the
later episodes cf the pageant. This
was one of the pioneer land grant
institutions of the United States and
today is regarded as the largest. An
old time train, similar to the first
Union Pacific train to enter Man
hattan in ISC 6. is being brought here
for the occasion.
The original settlement, called
Canton, was located here in the fall
iof 1854. It joined with two other
groups m the following spring, one
of which had established a nearby
town site called Boston. The narre
Manhattan was chosen because the
charter of one of the companies
specified it, and Canton and Boston
merged their identity in what became
the settlement's permanent name.
Four pioneers, three of whom were
college graduates, the group repre
senting Ohio, Maine; and Iowa, states
was located the following March by a
committee of the New England Emi-
grant Aid Company- near the site of
Canton. In Anril of the same year a

STORM BAUPvIES PLANNED
Chicago A chain of islands along
the Chicago lake front was suggested
Friday as a means of shackling Lake
Michigan in time of storm to pre
vent a repitition of the devastating.
(damage wrought by wind and wave
! during the gale which swept the
great lakes early this week.
City officials and engineers con
ferred plans for preventing future
damage, estimating that the havoc in
the wake of the recent storm would
cost well up in the millions, it was
shown that a chain of islands off the
Chicago lake front would serve as a
break water for the city and fit in
nicely with the city's plans for its
world fair in 1933, which is to be
located chiefly on islands yet to be
built.

Mortgages on
Husker Farms
Top Averages
4.6 Per Cent Greater Than U. S.
Mark Despite Drop of $18,
490,000 in Four Years
Lincoln, Oct. 25. According to
tabulations just completed by the Ne
braska and federal division of agri
cultural statistics, the aggregate of
farm mortgages in this state has de
creased $1S,490,000 in the last four
years.
In spite of this, however, the fig
ures show the farm mortgages in
debtedness to be 23.7 per cent of
the actual value, or 4.6 per cent
greater than the average for the
nation. For the entire country the
greatest increase is quoted in the
north central states.
Nebraska farm land is mortgaged
at $399,026,000 based on the 192S
figures which are the latest avail
able. This is a decrease of $18,490,
000 since 1915.
Eased upon 6 per cent interest
the annual interest bill on Nebras
ka farms is $35,941,000. Based upon
1925 census valuation of $2,524,
073,000 Nebraska farm land is mort
gaged at 23.7 per cent of its full
value.
This compares with 19.1 per cent
for farm land for the United States
as a whole.
NEERASKA RANGE
CONDITIONS GOOD
Lincoln, Oct. 25. Western Ne
braska range conditions, says the
state-federal statistician, are good
just now except for somewhat lower
prices on cattle. Hay and forage
are sufficient for expected needs.
The district, moreover, is called
one of the few having a favorable
outlook. Hay and feed is short in
Pacific and a few other states. Sheep
men were hit by high feed prices
last winter, heavy losses and lower
prices for wool and lambs. Though
cattle prices are lower, they still are
favorable as compared with those of
recent years.
Montana and Texas ranges are be
low normal, although the latter have
been improved somewhat by rain.

HAS FINE HERD OF CATTLE
The field man fcr the Journal in
his travels happened to step at the
home of Phillip Schafer, and notic
ing a very fine herd of Holstein cat
tle took particular pains to inquire
into the status cf the herd and found
that he has eight full blood cows
and beauties at that, with a bull
which he purchased recently at the
North Platte Holstein farm. The
bull sure is a beauty and away be
yond this is the fact that he comes
front a line of very heavy butter fat
producers. II i3 dam has a record of
over nine hundred pounds of butter
fat for the year, which is very good,
while some cf the cows on the sires
side has run as high as 14 00 pounds
and many of them as high as twelve
hundred. The mother of this bull is
being tes
and with 251 davs hac
a record of 6."3.5 with the remainder
of. one haunrlred and fourteen days
yet to run. The entire herd which
consists of eight, last year showed by
test an average oi 307 which makes
a very profitable heru. Of course
it costs a little more to start with
good cattle but in the end it pays
better. Phillip is at this time paint
ing his house, having just re-sided
it and when completed will present
and be virtually a new house in all
respects. If the winter stays away
long enough he will also paint the
barn and other out buildings, be
lieving thatpainting is a good in
surance for all buildings.
FAIR VIEW SCHOOL NOTES
Our ycung folks have been doing
very nicely in making their club a
success which is "Junior Citizens of
Fairview."
Our club has put up a tooth chart
about two weeks ago and nearly
every one has kept the motto "Wash
Your Teeth Twice a Day." We are
awarding each person a gold star
for living up to the motto for every
washing. "
We have a large Indian bulletin
upon the wall which has many var
ious pictures of Indians from maga-
zines and newspapers. Our teacher,
Miss Tritsch has also brought many
real pictures from the Garden of Gods
of Colorado and Rose Bud Reserva
tion in South Dakota. One of our
brilliant school pupils, Vivian Terry-
berry brought a small Indian doll
papoose and a pair of moccasins to
show the children. The first grade
has been making wigwams, the 4th
grade has ben acting plays they have
made u pas Indians and white men.
They got their ideas from the history
books. The smaller folks got some
clay and are making utensils as the
Indians did.
We had the pleasure of having Miss
Peterson as our visitor October 2nd.

PANTAGES JURY LOCKED UP
Los Angeles The jury of five men
and seven women, which took the
assault case of Alexander Pantages at
4:17 p. m. Friday, was locked up for
the night at 9:35 without reaching
a verdict. The theater man, charged
by Eunice Pringle, with having at
tacked her on Aug. 9 last in a con
ference room in his theater offices
went to his home in custody of two
deputy sheriffs. One of the deputies
was instructed to remain in the same
room with him while he slept. Un
til Friday Pantages had been at lib
erty on $50,000 bail.
Pantages visibly was startled when
he was ordered in custody, pending a
verdict. He slumped perceptibly in
hair chair, and whispered excitedly
to his attorneys. During the jury din
ner hour earlier in the evening Pan
tages had been accompanied to his
home by a deputy sheriff.
Wisconsin Puts
New Force Into
Traffic Rules
Uniform Code in Effect November
4th Holds Tight Rein on
Offenders.
Madison, Wis. Hitch-hiking, Jay
walking, one-arm driving and perch
ing your pals on fenders and running
boards of "the li'l old bus" a la col
legiate simply can t De done any more
in Wisconsin. At least not after Nov.
4, when the new uniform traffic code
takes effect.
The Wisconsin League of Munici
palities has drafted a model ordi
nance, based upon the code, which it
will ask all member cities to adopt.
One of the outstanding provisions
holds the owner of a car liable for
the acts of the operator, and a per
son who continues to employ a drunk
en driver subject to penalty.
Well defined rights, as well as lia
bilities of the pedestrian, are laid
down by the code. Cars must yield
right of way to persons afoot when
crossing marked intersections except
when a "go" signal is flashed, but
the pedestrian forfeits his right of
way by "jay-walking."
When traveling a rural highway he
must stayon the left side. He may
not loiter on the road and to stand
in the middle of a highway to solicit
rides Is unlawful.
Roller skaters, coasters, sleds and
toboggans are barred from the high
way and it is unlawful for a bicyclist
to cling to a moving vehicle. Board
ing or alighting from a moving ve
hicle is also prohibited.
Speed limits are removed from
country highways, but no driver may
proceed "carelessly or heedlessly in
willful or wanton dfsregard of the
rights or safety of others."
Rights of way are clearly defined.
Slowly moving vehicles are required
to operate as closely to the right side
of the highway as possible and no
car may pass another unless there
is a clear view ahead and the road
way free.
Warning signal must be given
when passing another car. Passing
highway intersections is prohibited
and it is unlawful to "cut corners."
Vehicles emerging from alleys or
private driveways must stop before
entering a street. One car may not
follow another "more closely than is
prudent." All traffic signs and sig
nals maintained by the various lo
calities must be -standardized.
Penalties for violation of the code
range from revocation of the drivers
license to fines and imprisonment.
PASSING OF LANDMARK
The past week witnessed the pass
ing of one of the historical landmarks
of the Missouri river bottom when
Chas. Allen residing south of Pacific
Junction, tore down an old log cabin
which has stood there for 77 years
This cabin was built by John Gil
lilland, great grandfather of present
County Attorney Whitney Gillilland,
of Mills county Iowa, back in 1852.
It was in this cabin that W. C. De-
Lashmutt of Glenwood started house
keeping when he was married in
186S, and where he lived for one year
before moving to Old Pacific
The cabin was a one-room struc
ture and was built of cotton wood
logs, the rafters were cotton wood
splings, with the bark intact. Mrs. Al
ienf who is a niece of Mrs. LcLash-
mutt had 2 eighteen inch blocks saw
ed from one of these logs and pre
sented them to Mr. and Mrs. DeLash
mutt, who will use them as bases for
ornamental flower stands on their
lawn.
A NEW THEORY ON DITEJIAN
Menominev Wis. The Menominee
Herald-Leader Friday said the theory
had been advanced that an airplane
which twelve persons saw fall in Lake
Michigan Wednesday off this port
was was that of Urban F. Diteman.
Montana aviator who took off from
Harbor Grace, N. F., Tuesday with
London as his announced destination.
The paper said that because a check
has failed to reveal any planes miss
ing in the middle west it was thought
very possible that Diteman, described
by friends as "eccentric," had de
cided after his hop-off to return to
his home in Billings, Mont. On a
direct route, that would bring him
over this city. He is known, the
paper says, to have made several
flights in the past over Michigan.
High winds prevented a search
from the air today for possible
wreckage.

Near 13 Million
Shares Traded In;
CollaDse Halted
Heads of Three Big Banks Stem
Frenzied Wave with Reas
suring Statement.
New York, Oct. 24. The remark
able era of avid public speculation
in stocks which has swept over the
country in the past five years came to
a climax today in the most terrifying
stampede of selling ever experienced
on the New York Stock Exchange
and other leading security markets.
Not since the war panic which re
sulted in closing the exchange for 17
weeks in 1914 has Wall street seen
such a dark and trying day, and never
in financial history have security
jnarkets been thrown into such a
tumult.
It appeared for a time that the
stock markets would be unable to
face the situation and that trading
would have to be suspended, but the
leading exchanges saw the ordeal
through, although a few floor traders
collapsed and had to be aided from
the trading floors."
By early afternoon, the situation
became so grave that a hurried meet-
ing of leading bankers was called at
the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co., and
a reassuring statement issued from
the conference by Thomas W. La
mont. one of the Morgan partners,
finally checked the sickening drop of
stock prices and saved the market
from a complete impasse.
Millions in Selling Short.
Scores of important stocks tumbled
from $15 to S70 a share, paper values
vanishing at the rate of tens of mil
lion of dollars a minute, until mid
afternoon, when tht bankers' state
ment prompted large operators who
were reaping millions in selling the
market short to cover their commit
ments. Prices of many issues re
bounded substantially.
Total sales on the stock exchange
reached the amazing figure of 12,
S94.6S0 shares, surpassing by more
than 50 per cent the previous record
of 8.246, 740 reached on March 26.
The ticker quotation service fell four
hours eight minutes behind trans
actions, and traders who were un
able to get quotations from the floor
through their brokers proceeded
blindly, save at intervals when a few
stock quotations wer sent out thru
the bo'nd market tickers.
Standard dividend paying stocks
were thrown overboard along with
the more speculative issues. Stocks
were sold for what they would bring
in blocks cf from one thousand to 150
thousand shares. Traders on the floor
of the stock exchange shrieked and
howeled their offers for desperate
minutes before they found takers.
Roar Heard for Elocks.
Such a roar arose from the stock
exchange floor that it could be heard
for blocks up and down Broad and
Wall streets. Speculators and sight
seers poured in Wall street in such
volume that extra traffic police were
required to handle them, and the
stock exchange gallery, to which
spectators are admitted only upon re
commendation of a partner in a mem
ber brokerage firm, was closed to the
public. World-Herald.

and huge generating units of a size
that a few years ago would have been
believed impossible, are now rapidly
being constructed.
It is the rural areas of America
the small town and the farm that
will reap the greatest benefits from
this change. The great cities have,
for many years, had adequate, de
pendable electric service. But before
the adoption of the principles of mass
production and distribution by the
electric industry, the small town gen
erally had poor and expensive ser
viee, or none at all.
Today the small town is rapidly be
ing given the same unexcelled ser
vice as the cities and will have an op
portunity to develop Industrially on
a scale formerly restricted to metro
politan areas. At the same time, farm
electrification is gradually bringing
about a happier and more prosperohs
agricultural civilization.

ciation Designed to Enable Pro
ducer to Retain Control.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 24. A million
dollar farmers' co-operative live stock
marketing corporation was created
today in Chicago and announced to
night by the federal farm board at
the close of a two-day session, with
6 6 representatives of the live stock
industry.
The new sales agency is to be call
ed the National Livestock Marketing
association, and a committee was ap
pointed to take immediate steps to
draft the necessary papers for in

string Qf central farmer-owned and
farmer-controlled commodity market
ing agencies started by the federal
farm board. Similar corporations are
already under way for the handling
of fruit and vegetables, grain and
wool and mohair.
General plans for the organization,
financing and operation of the gi
gantic sales agency for live stock pro
ducers were approved by the official
delegates coming from live stcok sec
tions throughout the United States
at the call of Alexander Legge, chair
man of the farm board.

already operating in the prin

have united to "pool their forces and
to strengthen their bargaining pow
er," according to officials tonight.

the live stock producer collectively
to control and direct the movement
of his stock from the time it leaves
the farm or ranch until it reaches
the place of slaughter, regardless of
the marketing route.

will begin immediately to perfect the
corporation, it was said tonight. Thi3

MUST CARRY YOUR
DRIVER S LICENSE
There appears to be some mis
understanding about what to do with
your driver's license after you have
paid for and received the same. It is
just like your hunting and fishing li
cense it must be on your person
when an officer steps up and asks
to see the same. Here's the law:
"Every person licensed to operate
motor vehicles under the provisions
of this act, shall, upon receipt of
said license card endorse his or her
signature thereon in the space pro
vided for such purpose, and no li
cense shall be valid until the license
card is so endorsed. Said license card
shall at all times be carried by the
licensee when operating a motor ve
hicle on the public highways of this
state and shall be presented by the
licenseee for examination or he shall
present proof of ownership of same
upon demand by any police or peace
officer recognized as such by the laws
of this state. Such officer must in
every case of making demand on th i
motor vehicle operator to show a
motor vehicle operator's license, first
display proper evidence of his lawful
authority to act as an officer of th?
law. Outside of incorporated villages,
towns and cities no officer, except th
sheriff and his authorized deputies,
shall exercise the authority to de
mand presentation of a motor vt-hiclo
operator's license between the hours
of sunset and sunrise of any calendar
day."
