McMullen Says
Will Stand by
Mr. Morris
Former Governor Tired cf "Mess'
in Which Senatorial Race
Has Fallen.
Former Governor of Nebraska
McMullen came out of his wheat field
near Beatrice Monday night to tell
he was tired of the "mess" into which
the Nebraska senatorial race has fal
len and he will in any way c un i to
the aid of Senator Norris' campaign.
McMullen said that if necessary be
would become the campagin manager
of the senator.
It is the plan of the former gnv-
ernor to campaign for the senator re
gardless of whether he becomes the
senator's manager.
"I am a republican and want to
see the traditions of Nebraska re
publicans maintained," McMullen
said. "All this unfair practice in the
senatorial race should be stopped,
and I'm going to do my part, as all
good republicans should, to stop it.
"There is one thing to be 'said in
behalf of Senator Norris, and that
is he would not do anything unfair
to hinder the attempt of others to
gain office. Norris, is a straight, hard
fighting republican, and he is true to
his convictions, whether others agree
with him or not."
When asked whether he was in
vited to attend the Nebraska G. O. P.
meeting at Fremont Monday night,
McMullen said he had been reading
about it in the papers, but he was
not invited to attend the confab.
"I have not given a lot of thought
to the exact plan I will follow in my
aid to the Norris campaign," MmMul
len said, because I have been busy
with harvesting. You know it takes
two bushels of wheat to bring as
much as one did a year ago, and then
a year ago there was no federal farm
board."

Head of D. A. V. Asserts Measure
Will Aid Additional Men; New
Rulings Cited.
Washington, June 13. Thousands
of world war veterans will receive
their first benefits or additional com
pensation from the new amendments
to the law governing the veterans
bureau, according to a statement to
day by Captain Herman II. Weimer,
f Chicago, recently elected national
commander of the Disabled American
Veterans.
"Provision is made," said Captain
Weimer, "for the disability allow
ance to any honorably discharged
veteran who saw service at least 90
days during the world war, and who
entered the service prior to the arm
istice. These allowances are on the
following scale: 25 per cent perman
ent disability, $12 per month; 50 per
cent permanent disability, $18 per
month; 75 per cent permanent dis
ability, ?25 per month; total perman
ent disability, ?40 per month. These
benefits start from the date of appli
cation and in no case are retroactive.
Persons paying income tax are not
eligible for this particular allowance.
Cannot Get Beth Benefits.
"Veterans are permitted to elect
between the disability allowance and
compensation in case they are eligible
for both, but in no case shall any one
person draw both benefits at the same
time.
"Independent of any other compen
sation, veterans who suffered the loss
of of a foot or a hand, as a result of
injury received prior to Nov. 11,
1918, shall receive $25 a month.
"In the cases of the expeditionary
forces in Russia, the dates for this
benefit shall extend to April 1, 1920.
"Payments of compensation in all
cases of hospitalized insane veterans
who have no dependents shall be stop
ped when thei restates equal three
thousand dollars.
New Ruling on T. B.
"A minimum rating of permanent
partial 25 per cent shall prevail for
all cases of arrested tuberculosis. Con
trary to a widespread opinion, this
provision does not disturb the $50
statutory award for arrested tubercu
losis, but was inserted in the law in
order that a man who had two or
more disabilities one of which was
arrested tuberculosis should receive
the benefit of the combined rating
that would give them higher than
the $50 per month, the bureau policy
being to drop arrested tuberculosis
to zero on the rating table after 24
months of complete rest.
ARE FINED F0H TARRING
Orange City, la. Pleading guilty
to charges of unlawful assembly in
connection with the tarring and
feathering of John De Jong, forty
one, father of five children, fourteen
Orange City men Thursday morning
were fined $10 and costs each in Jus
tice John Meyer's court at Alton.
Seventeen men were accused by De
Jong and were arrested, but three of
them did not appear in court. It is
intimated by De Jong that he now
will institute civil suits against the
men.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Dystra said
the supposed cause of the attack was
the man's alleged impropriety with
a married woman. De Jong admit
ted Wednesday that the woman in
question had "ridden in his car a
couple of times," but that he had
no warning that his attentions were
causing notice.
The mob took De Jong into the
country Tuesday night, forced him
to undress, and applied a coat of tar
and feathers, after which he was
taken back to town and left on a
street corner.
ITALIAN IS A VOLUNTEER
Santa Fe, N. M. Pietro Canale of
Rome, Italy, has volunteered as a
subject for a trachoma experiment.
He said in a letter sent here he had
read of an effort to get Woo Dak San,
condemned Chinese, to aid in an at
tempt to isolate the germ.
"Well known and well liked here
(Italy) and young and robust," the
twenty-seven year old Italian wrote:
"I would be at their disposal to give
my head in any experiments for the
benefit of suffering humanity."
Trachoma is an eye disease, prev
alent among Indians. Woo Dak San
was offered his freedom if he would
give himself to science for experimen
tation, but he refused.

LICENSED AVIATORS KILLED
Elmira, N. Y. Two licensed air
pilots of this city were burned to
death as their plane crashed Sunday
at Newton battlefield, State Park.
They were identified by their watches
as Theodore Holbert, thirty-two, and
Walter Arnold, thirty-four. Arnold
was a vice president of the Elmira
flying club, to which the plane be
longed. They were on their way to
an air show at Ilornell, N. Y.
O'Neill, Neb., July 13. Blue grass
seed harvesting in Holt county had
its roots in the importation by a
handful of people of Kentucky seed,
which they scattered about in their
yards and a few meadows.
Nothing was further from their
minds than grass seed harvesting
then. Not until nine or 10 years
ago did the byproduct begin to over
whelm the original hay crop idea.
For many years there was only a
scattered sickly stand. Slowly
enough the imported product
choked out wild varieties of grass,
and spread all over the county.
Then it was almost forgotten. It
was there, and highly appreciated,
but that's all there was to it. In
places, it attained a height of two
feet or more when in the seed stage,
but it was only grass.
Discovered in 1020.
Finally someone made a discovery
in 1920 or a little later. Whether
it was Paul Schwisow, Jack Quig
or Joe Meredith, historians will be
unable to say, . but some keen
minded person sent samples of the
new grass seed to a seed company
and that first firm and others never
have reached the saturation point
on Holt count yblue grass seed in a
decade of seed merchandising.
A few days ago George A. Miles
publisher of the Holt County Inde
pendent, estimated the farmers and
ranchers of Holt county will receive
at least 100 thousand dollars in
1930 merely for the privilege of
skimming their meadows of the seed.
And the hay crop is not damaged in
the least in taking the seed. Land
owners are paid from $1 to $2 r.n
acre for seed rights.
Has to Dry Four Days.
A specially designed type of har
vester is used in garnering the see 1.
The majority of these are lmr;o
drawn, but one company is plan
ning two srippers. with a car equip
ped with a driving device, which
gives it the pull of a truck.
Five seed companies are in the
grass fields near here this season.
The number of strippers at work
is estimated at two hundred. Tli?:-"
outfits truck their seed to a dryinrj
ground, made by scattering Ft raw
or hay over an acre cr mere and
then firing it to destroy all vege
tation, or by clo.:.e clipping with law::
mowers.
The seed is sacked in the field,
trucked to the drying field, r-r-rcad,
and constantly turned over and over
with scoops until it is well dried.
This takes about four days.
Residents Still Amazed.
The gathering of blue grass sc;3u
must be accomplished in from 10
d:;ys to two weeks. The seed ripens
fast and a storm or high wind spells
disaster. In ideal weather it matures
rapidly and toon begins to sift to
earth.
After curing, the reed is resackrd
and shipped to the company's head
quarters where it is cleaned cf wee!',
seeds and packaged for retailir.?.
The firms plan on shipping out fro:i
10 to 20 carloads each.
Holt county folk still a;v a rr. red
at the flood of cash for a byproduct
that for so long, until it proved it
self, was not considered in the run
ning. Springing from an insignif
icant handful cf samples the blue
grass seed harvest of Holt county
threatens to attain the lead among
all other industries in the county.

Ex Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,
Is Said ts Lca:i Now To

'NO,'

AND BRIDE FAINTS
COMPANY TO INSURE
UNEMPLOYED WORKERS
London Stanley Baldwin, leader
of the Conservative Party, has given
notice of a motion of censure in the
House of Commons arraigning the
Government's tariff policy and, in
cidentally, holding out a hand to the
Right Wing Conservatives who have
been threatening to split from him
in consequence? of his lukevvarmr.css
toward food taxation.
This move is the outcome of recent
indications that there is a swing over
of public opinion toward protection,
as shown by the bankers' much dis
cussed pronouncement on July 5.
Lord Beaverbrook, who now leads the
food taxers, receives this advance
warily.
"It may mean," says his chief news
paper organ, the Daily Express, July
S, "the complete conversion of Mr.
Baldwin to Lord Beaverbrook's policy
of Empire free trade and it may mean
less." The fact is, it is understood
here, that Mr. Baldwin is feeling his
way. His position has hitheto be-in
that while it is desirable for the pro
motion of British trade arrangements
with Canada, Australia, South Africa,
New Zealand and South Ireland to
have a free hand to impose taxes up
on foreign imported goods, public
opinion is net yet fully ripe for a
tariff upon food.
Mr. Baldwin's censure motion says:
"That this House, believing that a
return to prosperity can best bo pro
moted by safeguarding the home
market againEt unfair foreign com
petition and by expanding the export
market by reciprocal trade agree
ments with the Empire overseas, re
grets that the Government has re
versed the policy of safeguarding in
stead of extending it, and has arbit
rarily excluded fro mconsiderai'.on
the imposition of duties upon foreign
foodstuffs devised to obtain equiva
lent advantages for British manufac
turers and agriculture in Empire
markets and elsewhere."
Francis Wortley, chairman. Con
servative Association of North Nor
folk, said at Holt, July 7, "If differ
ences exist between Mr. Baldwin and
Lord Beaverbrook they are fast dis
appearing and very soon these two
