Wheat Sena
tors Urge Farm
Board Action
Capper Leads Group in Call on Legge
for Immediate Relief How
ell in Group.
Washington, July 22. Chairman
Legge'3 statement that criticism of
the farm board's wheat policy is
mostly "political bunk" has not still
ed demands for the board to take ac
tion tp increase the price of grain.
Senators from four wheat growing
states, led by Capper of Kansas, call
ed on him today to urge that the
board broaden its present program,
which is chiefly centered on crop re
duction. Pine of Oklahoma; Allen
of Kansas; Howell of Nebraska and
McMaster of South Dakota accompan
ied Capper.
After the conference, Senator Cap
per said the group had emphasized
the need for action to "aid the pres
ent critical situation." They express
ed the hope, he added, that some
thing be done "to give the farmer a
better price while the wheat is still
in his hands and before it gets into
the hands of speculators."
Asks Big Purchase.
Senator Capper again presented his
plan for the purchase of 100 million
bushels of wheat by board agencies.
Legge had previously disapproved
this suggestion, the board could do
little unless the farmer aided in re
ducing the surplus.
Capper said the government could
take some loss in purchasing the
wheat. The possibility that it could
bo sold at low prices or even given to
China or India, Capper added, was
suggested to the chairman.
Capper said the senators had "a
most sympathetic discussion," with,
Legge. The chairman differed "with
us on the proposition that the farm
board, through it3 stabilization cor
poration, should go on the market at
this time," he added.
Reduction Not Discussed
The senators said they did not dis
cuss acreage reduction proposals.
Legge. however, Capper said, ex
pressed the opinion that if it became
known that farmers were reducing
acreage it would have a beneficial ef
fect on wheat prices.
Senator Allen left the board for the
"White house. He said he did not plan
to discuss the wheat situation with
Tresident Hoover.
The proposal of Senator Thomas
(dem., Okla.) that President Hoover
call an international conference of
wheat growing countries with a view
to a world wide wheat reduction was
not discussed at the conference.-World-Herald.

Tuesday at Murdock of Harry Mc

the Interment being at the Wabash
cemetery.
The death of Mr. McDonald oc
curred very suddenly, he being at
the time of death Sunday, playing a
round on the Ashland golf course and
the attack of heart trouble was swift
and fatal. He had not been in the
most robust health but his condition
was not considered grave bv the
members of his family. Death oc
curred before medical aid summoned
by his golfing companions could
reach his side.
The McDonald family have lived
in Cass county for the past forty-six
years, coming to this state from Wis
consin. Mr. McDonald was sixty

He is survived by his widow, three
sons and one daughter.
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAYS
MOSES REACHES ACCORD
IN SENATORIAL GROUP
Washington, July 22. One of the
two trouble spots in the republican
national machine was cleared up to
day as Senator Moses (N. H.) came
to an understanding with the irri
tated members of the senatorial cam
paign committee.
The other republican worry
Claudius Huston's chairmanship of
the republican national committee
was still a worry tonight to that fac
tion of the party whih is insistent
upon his resignation.
Ears were attuned at the capital
for the statement Mr. Huston prom
ised as soon as the senate adjourned.
But the chairman was not even here.
Nothing equals the Dennison line
of Decorative material. So why use
substitutes, when you can get any
thing you want in the entire Denni
son line at Bates Book Store.
A very pleasant gathering was
held at the country home of Mr. and
Mrs. B. W. Livingston near this city
on Sunday, July 13th, the occasion
being the birthday celebrations of
four of the members of the family

Miss Vivian Livingston.
Four lovely cakes with the glow
ing candles decorating the tooth
some birthday reminders were pre
pared by four daughters of the fam
ily, Mrs. John S. Vallery, Mrs. Jay
D. Rising, Mrs. Myron Wiles and
Miss Grave Livingston, the cakes
forming the center piece of the table
where the dinner was enjoyed in
picnic style.
All of the members of the family

eleven years. Those attending be

DOING SOME SHINGLING
President C. C. Wescott of the
Chamber of Commerce is doing some
shingling not on the roof of his
home, but right on his person he
having been for the past several days
suffering from an attack of shingles.
that painful and annoying cutan
eous malady that while not danger
ous, is very disagreeable to the per
son who has them. The attack has
kept the president largely from his
work at the clothing store as well
as his civic activities. It is hoped
that the malady will pass away in a
few days and permit him feeling in
his usual good health.

Julius Neumeister of Avoca was
a isitor in the city Tuesday after
noon for a few hours being called
heie to attend to some matters of
importance.
Lincoln, July 21. Serious atten
tion is expected for City Commis
sioner William Schroeder's proposal
that Lincoln go to the Platte river
for an inexhaustible future water
supply.
This was seen Monday when mem
bers of the water hoard advisory
committee went on record as fav
oring the submittance at the No
vember election a $3,000,000 water
bond issue.
Drouth Menace
A constantly threatened drouth
during the last few weeks, which at
one time became so serious that Com
missioner Schroeder adveoated po
lice control to prevent lawn water
ing, has brought the city council to
poignant realization of the situation.
Several proposals for procuring
the supply of the future have been
recommended by engineers ,but Com
missioner Schroeder favors going to
the Platte.
That the water will not come di
rectly from the river, but rather in
directly, was explained by the com
missioner. Dozen New Wells
"It is my plan to have a
dozen more well3, spread over
80 acres, dug within a half mile
of the river," he said. "The
exact locations will be de
termined later.
"The water will then be
pumped through 30 to 36-inch
mains to the city reservoirs.
"We would like to get the
underground water near the
Platte because then we would
not have to do any extra filter
ing or cleansing to speaK of
other than that which is done
prior to entrance of the water
in the storage reservoirs."
Another Supply
Another water supply has been
suggested at Beaver Crossing, ac
cording to Mr. Schroeder.
Although the city has five res
ervoirs of a total capacity of 23,

spells have almost drained the
storage tanks dry, the commissioner
said. There are 24 wells from which
the supply is drawn, but all have
not been operating during the past
few weeks because of trouble with
the pumps. For that reason the re
serve was nearly exhausted.
ARRANGING NEW PARKING
The city street department is ar
ranging the new parellel parking on
both north and south Sixth street as
per the resolution of the city coun
cil. This parking is being arranged
with spaces of eighteen feet which
will be ample to permit the car get
ting in and out and also for the
trucks that may be parked along
the street.
The arrangement will permit
twelve cars in a block on both sides
of Sixth street instead of the pres
ent parking system on the west side
of the street only.
Tth parking on Main street will
remain as at the present as no change
was ordered in this by the city council.
Mrs. R. B. Hayes and daughter.
Miss Jean, were visitors in Omaha
today, going to that city on the early
Burlington train to spend a few
hours with friends.
