Wheat Price
Sure to Rise,
Hoover Told
Taber, National Grange Master, As
serts Present Level Final Low
With a Rise Due.
Washington, July IS. Wheat
prices may soon take an upswing,
President Hoover was told by Louis
J. Taher, master of the National
Orange, Friday.
Taber has Just made an extended
tour Into agricultural centers of the
country and personally brought his
observations to the president.
While the Grange has been dis
posed to urge adoption of the deben
ture plan in the face of the presi
dent's veto. Mr. Taber told the presi
dent that his organization had de
cided to hold off any further action
toward this end until the newly or
ganized farm board has had a chance
to function.
Lowest Price Possible.
The present state of the wheat
market represents the lowest price
possible, Mr. Taber believes and he
is confident that conditions will show
an improvement.
Declaring both Secretary of Agri
culture Hyde and Chairman Legge of
the federal farm board have admit
ted that failure of the agriculture
marketing act. Senator Thomas, Okla
homa democrat, in a statement Fri
day said the administration has no
farm remedy to offer other than the
"law of supply and demand."
Must Admit Failure.
He added:
"The administration's farm
relief program has been under
way for more than a year and
from the date of its initiation
prices for farm commodities have
constantly declined until today
the price of wheat is the lowest
in almost 20 years, and the same
may be said of practically all
farm products.
"The farm relief act and the
tariff bill were made to the or
der and specification of the
president, and with the farm re
lief plan in efiect repealed and
with the tariff bill increasing
the cost of practically every
thing the farmer has to buy, it
must be admitted that the ad
ministration's plan to helping
the farmer has ended in fail
ure." Omaha Bee-News.

Aid at Mead;
Snatch Cash
Two Gunmen Swoop Down on

Car Toward Omaha
The Bank of Mead was robbed of
$2,000 shortly before noon Friday
by two armed bandits, who kidnapped
the assistant cashier, took him for a
ride oftwo miles, dumped him out,
and fled toward Omaha.
Emmet Erway, 24, the assistant
cashier, son of R. M. Erway, cashier,
was the kidnaper man. The bandit's
sedan, Erway said, had an Iowa li
cense. He was alone in the bank with
Gus Soderberg, 60, also an assistant
cashier, when the bandits entered
and forced them at the point of guns
to hand over the money, all in cash.
One, Erway said, was tall, the
other of medium height. Both were
well dressed, he said, and dark.
Erway immediately notified county
and state officials and called Omaha.
Chief of Detectives Paul Haze at
once sent out a squad to patrol high
ways leading into Omaha from the
south and west. Mead is 35 miles
from the city.
One bandit, young Erway said, had
a rifle, the other a pistol. They were
n the bank but a few minutes, he
said.
The bandits auto was reported
sighted twice between Mead and
Omaha, but local police, who guarded
all roads, did not see it.

part of August being the time select
ed for the three day meeting.

ship of SO this year, is entitled to
three delegates and three alternates,
the same representation it has had
for several years past.

year's convention, so far as south
eastern Nebraska is concerned, will
be the auto caravan that will make
ts way across many miles of Nebras
ka highway on the Sunday preceding
he opening of the convention, Mon
ay, August 25th. The 12th district

TO IMPROVE EIGHTH STREET
The residents of North Eighth
street are raising the funds to make
possible the placing of gravel on
their street and assuring them of
having a street that it will be pos
sible to travel over at all seasons of
the year. This work is being done
by the residents along the street, the
city with grading and helping on the
cost of the work on the north part of
the street and the road to the rifle
range as well as the county on their
part of the road outside of the city
limits. This is a very much need
ed improvement and will make a sur
faced road to the rifle range, some
thing that has long been desired by
the officers of the Seventeenth in
fantry to make it more convenient in
getting to and from the rifle range.
The action of the citizens in the
various parts of the city in having
gravel placed on the streets is re
sulting in the greatly enlarged pro
gram of surfaced roads and at a very
low cost to each resident for the
gravel and the city looking after
the grading for the various jobs.

Survey Being
Made of Missouri
River Channel
Army Officers Making Trip Down the
River to Inspect and Survey
for New Channel
Lieutenant Colonel R. C. Moore
and Captain Wyman, Jr., of the en
gineering corps of the United States
army, are now working in this sec
tion on the plans for the proposed
six foot channel which is to be
created in the Missouri river from
Kansas City north to Sioux City in
the next three years.
The officers have been making
their way down the river from its
source to check on the plans and
gathering the information that will
be necessary in the development of
the plans for the new cleared chan
nel for river navigation.
The work of preparing the plans
for the carrying out of the river
navigation movement requires some
time and for the past several months
there has been forces at work all
and down the river gathering the
information desired by the war de
partment before they launch the
actual work of clearing the chan
nel and preparing the way for the
coming of the boats and barges on
the river.
This navigation of the Missouri
river is regarded as one of the great
est boons that can come to the mid
dle west and has been urged for
many years as the only means of
placing the middle west on the same
equality with ports and localities on
the coasts which enjoy the advantage
of the water rates for raw materials
and the finished product of their
factories.
All of the communities along the
Missouri river are awaiting the start
of the work of the movement that
promises so much to them in the
way of the development of this sec
tion of the west as manufacturing
centers as as a part of the great
agricultural west.

center at the present tourist park
on Washington avenue, meets with
a very general approval in the city
and among the residents of the school
district who feel that the athletic
field will add much to the interest
in the school and its location will
be much better for the young people
in their athletic work.
The athletic program of the schools
has a tendency to keep many of the
young men in school until they have
completed their four years of high
school work and with a very large
number of non-resident pupils at
tending the local school, it has proven
a great attraction to the buy from
other localities who is coming here
to finish his high school training.
The decision of the board of edu
cation to have the field placed in
shape for football this year will be
very pleasant news to the students
of the school as well as the patrons
and lovers of the athletic sports.
The new park will allow the mak
ing of improvements that will last
instead of being washed away by
every heavy rain as was the case of
the ball park on the Missouri river
bottom land.

LARGE TRUCE DEMOLISHED
WHEN IT HIT BRIDGE
On Wednesday evening the large
truck belonging to Ralph Reeder
went into the ditch at the bridge
north of town at the Vandenburg
place. Ralph had a load of 16 head
of hogs and was on his way to
Omaha. Coming down the hill ap
proaching the bridge he did not no
tice a car that was standing at the
bridge and which did not show a tail-
light. Ke had to act quickly. In or
der to keep from hitting the car he
applied the brakes and swung to the
west, hitting the steel banister of
the bridge and slid clear across taking
the banister off and tearing off the
front wheels and springs and then
the front part of the truck hit the
dich and swung completely around
with the rear of the truck to the
north spilling the entire load of hogs
out, injuring three or four of them.
How Ralph escaped is hard to say
for ;it seemed Impossible for him to
have done so when one looked at the
complete wreck of the large Reo
truck. However he had a number of
bruises and scatches. The livestock
we understand was completely cover
ed by insurance. Elmwood Leader
