Mathews, who is a lover of music, the Greenwood band is now in excellent condition to begin the furnishing of music for any function whatever. They will provide the music for the Memorial Day service and also . will begin giving their weekly concesion on the streets in a short time. Did Excellent Work. Messrs Walter and Alonzo Stewart, on account of the warm evening, sat on their porch on last Tuesday eve ning before retiring and along near the middle of the night they per ceived a car come and stop a short distance from them, and the occu pants, two men, leave in a suspic ious manner. They shadowed the men, as they felt that there was something not right in their actions. They followed the men until they went to the store of Cope and Ander son, where they broke into the store. Then it was time for the watchers to act, which they did. They got A. R. Birdsall and George Trunken boltz. city marshal, and who called the State sheriff from Lincoln. Mar shall Trunkenboltz showed his firm hand when he went and crippled the car by detaching a number of wires, so that when the men were ready to go they would have difficulty in the starting of the car. They then went back and watched the workers at the store. Finally after they had gotten what goods they wanted piled up ready to load, the would-be rob bers left the store, one going to se cure some gasoline while the other went to the car. He tried to start it but it did not start. lie then got out and looked under the hood to pee why. It was then that the party had the rush and commanded the man to stick up his hands by Mr Trunkenbolz and he was arrested The other man had gone to the Burl ington oil house where he broke in and secured the gasoline and when he came back he was in like manner arrested. Following close on this the state sheriff nd posse came and securing the culprits took them to Lincoln Much credit is due to Fessrs Stewart Walter and Alonzo, for the clever shadowing of the men and also to A R. Birdsall and George Trunken bolz for the clever manner in which ihe matters were handled afterwards This is liable to deter some of the wjould-be bandits from their actions iu'ythe future. Bake Sale Pays Expenses. The best cooks and bottle washers, 4-H cooking club, held a bake sale, Saturday May 17th for the purpose of paying expenses of delegates to 4-H club week at Lincoln. In spite of muddy roads and continuous driz zle it was well attended. The club secured $7.55. They are grateful to Mr. White and Mr. Bucknell for the use of their window. Considering the fact that $20 is needed, it was decided to hold an other sale Saturday, May 24th at E. T. Smith's drug store. This club was organized this spring with Mrs. Carl Hoffman as leader. The officers are Virginia Newkirk, president; Irene Walrodt, vice president; Hazel Trunkenboltz, secretary-treasurer, and Velma Wal rodt, news reporter. Bills Fate Hangs Upon New Pitfall Cheese, Cherries, Watches and Rayon Cause Muddle; PLm Must Go Back for Debate. Washington, May 23. The fate of the Smoot-Hawley-Grundy $1,000, 000,000 tariff bill hung upon the out come of a trick parliamentary situ ation Friday, after the senate and house conferees had reached a com promise on the disputed flexible fea ture. No sooner had the conferees heav ed sigh of relief as their labors end ed than it was discovered they had exceeded their authority in fixing rates on cheese, cherries, rayon and watches. So a series of feverish con ferences among senate and house leaders began to extricate the meas ure from the latest pitfall. Bill May Die. The four items are subject to points of order, which means that the bill will be thrown back into con ference again, with the prospect that the house will insist upon taking the $1 per thousand cubic feet off of soft lumber, which is demanded by the northwest. In the event lumber is restored to the free list, republican leaders fear they will lose two or possibly three votes for the final conference report. With the narrowest sort of margin to work on, as demonstrated by the voters on the flexible and debenture provisions, the measure might die in conference. Fix Own Bale. While week-end conferences may straighten out this difficulty, the re publican leaders are greatly concern ed over the situation. One plan sug gested is to have the senate fix its own rule by a majority vote. If that fails, senate leaders are seeking an agreement from the house conferees to merely adjust the rates on the four disputed items and leave lum ber and other rates as previously agreed upon. j Senator Smoot, chairman of the finance committee, plans to submit the conference report to the senate on Monday and have a showdown on the points of order on Tuesday. Power to Veto. In view of the Bost speech made by President Hoover during the cam paign, the compromise on the flex ible feature, which is said to have the approval of the White House, is nothing short of amazing. In that address, the president declared that the American people would never agree to the tariff rate-making pow er being delegated to a commission. For that is just what the commis sion does. It makes the tariff commis sion a bipartisan, fact-finding, rate- making body and gives the president power only to approve or veto its findings within a 60-day period. Fight Compromise. The president had previously in sisted that no change be m.de in the present flexible law, which merely made the commission a fact-finding body and left entire discretion to the president in raising or lowering rates by 50 per cent of the existing duty. Democratic leaders immediately announced that they would fight the compromise provision. Senator Sim mons of North Carolina and Harrison of Mississippi protested that it would turn the legislative functions of con gress over to a commission. This opposition insures a real bat tle over the adoption of the final conference report. But that was to be expected in any event and the real worry of the republican leaders is to get around the trick parliamen tary situation. Omaha Bee-News.

NEBRASKA STEAM AND LAKE POPULATION RAPIDLY GROWS Induced by a fixed determination in the minds of the members of Ne braska Game, Forestation and Parks Commission that the pleasures of the great out of doors in Nebraska shall be conserved and multiplied for pres ent and future citizens, the streams and lakes are being rapidly stocked with game fish. By annual planting of trout, perch, bass, crappies, catfish, bullheads, sunfish, pickerel and pike, all adapted to Nebraska waters, and the elimination of the native coarse fish carp, buffalo, gar and suckers which each fall are seined from lakes and streams and sold on the markets, the waters of this state are being made places of increasing in terest and importance to young men and old boys and everyone else who has not lost the native impulase to drop a baited hook in the water and pull out a finny monster. neighbors and friends of the Deitz family. Tinkham Re news His Attack on ihe Council Declares Church Group Is Backed by Large International Busi ness Interests. Wafjhinctnn Tlftiirwnisr Ilis charge that, the Federal Council of Churches has violated the principle of sepa ration of church and state by engag- ng in political affairs, Kepresenta ive Tinkham of Massachusetts said n a statement Wednesday night that .Tnhn D. Rockefeller, ir.. has contri buted about 10 per cent of the total income of the organization. "It is well known," he said, that the large international oil interests, international bankers and large in ternational business interests are nrnfonndlv interested in having the United States change its foreign pol- cy for their own purposes. "Tinder these circumstances, the following facts should be of much interest: That this council receives only about one-fourth of its income from its church constituency, the re m.iininer being received from 'other sources, on its face a highly danger ous financial policy for the organ ized church participating in politics to pursue. "Recent revelations show that John D. Rockefeller, jr., contributed 35,650 in 1926; $32,717 in 36,250 in 112h and $32,500 in 129. about 10 rer cent of the total annual income from all sources and about 35 to 45 per cent of the amounts received from contrioutors of -500 and over during those lour years - WANTED STOCK TO PASTURE Can pasture your stock on the old Falter farm, ti miles nonnwesi Plattsmouth.

The plantings are being made from two sources from sloughs, irri ra tion ditches and ponds, into whic. fish run at high water times, and from the four fish hatcheries located at Gretna, Valentine, Benkelman and Rock Creek in Dundy county. Last fall a total of 1,284530 game fish were rescued from . winter de struction in sloughs, ditches and ponds by agents of the game commis sion and placed in deep water. Most of the rescued fish were bullheads but perch and crappie in generous amounts were in the catch. The four fish hatcheries last year contributed 2,154,979 game fish and frogs to Nebraska lakes and streams. These were quite impartially distri buted over the state in the com missions fish vare Waltonia and in special tank trucks owned by the commission. Bullheads, a never ceas ing favorite with young and old fish ermen were easily first in number planted, but trout ,bass and perch were liberally provided.

In another decade the waters of Nebraska will teem with game fish and lovers of the rod will not need to go to distant lakes and streams in search of quarry. The program of the game commission includes a con tinuance of annual planting on a large scale and vigorous enforcement of game laws devised to protect fish from wanton destruction and true sportsmen from the invasions of wholesale fish hogs who have not ac quired the virtues of that patron saint of out door sport, Izaak Walton.
