The Lithuanian gov ernment took this step because is considered the former chief of gov- nunent "a danger to public order and safety." His wife, a Frenchborn woman, and his nephew accompanied 3 1 1 1 1 into exile. The uephew is the young man who was wounded at Kovno in May, 1029, by a bomb in tended for ths then premier. The ambas-adrr, cliototor and "en fant terrible" of the league of na tions will be kept under close public nipt rvision during his exile. The. government headed by Premier Juon zn Tubelis wavered, it is understood, between interning Profesor 'Walde maras and arresting him for high treason. It finally decided on banish ing him because it had concluded he was "physically abnormal." Color was lent to the claim of ab normality by the former dictator's insistence that he hi'relf must sign the protocol of his banishment as "rightful premier and ininister of foreign affairs."

Their wreckage ripped oft" a foot of thick cement wall between two adjacent courts. An unidentified peon who was playing handball as the plane fell, had no chance to escape, but the man with whom he was playing miracu lously got from under the falling wreckage.

Davis AGENT Plattsmouth - - Nebraska Need State Bonds to Com plete !owa Road Highway Commission Says 5,000 Miles Is Their Ultimate Goal; Counties to Help. Ames, la., July 24. Although is suance of primary road bonds by counties was hastened the paving of highways in Iowa by many years, the ultimate goal of five thousand miles cannot be reached without a state bond issue, the state highway commission said Thursday. Twenty counties have issued no bonds while in some of the other counties the amount authorized is not sufficient to complete their roads leaving many gaps in cross state highways. Adoption of a state bond program, the commission said, will make possible the closing of these gaps and the early completion of the entire system. The commission will have super vised the sale of approximately 27 million dollars worth of primary road bonds authorized by various counties this year, the funds realized financ ing the 1,025 miles of paving it is expected to finish before construction stops in November. Market Is Improved. A little over nine million dollars borth of bonds were sold May 1, bear ing 42 Per cent interest. The mar ket later was not quite so good and approximately $5,500,000 sold as of July 1 bore 4 per cent. Of late, the market has improved again and $2,500,000 worth of bonds dated Aug ust 1 have been sold at 4 Va Pr cent. During August, the counties will offer approximately $8,500,000 worth of bonds bearing a September 1 date, while a few scattered lots will be sold as of October 1 to finish work contracted for, but which cannot be completed until late in the season. The maiket this season is the best in three seasons, however. EEarly in 192S, the commission made its most advantageous sale of bends, some is sues being sold as low as 4 per cent. Difficult to Sell. In 1929, bonds were sold with dif ficulty even though their coupon rate was placed at the maximum of 5 per cent. The fact that county road bonds are optional after five years and that they pay interest annually have hin dered their sale, the commission said. These factors also make the proposed 100 million dollar state bond issue desirable, for the state bonds will be nonortional and wil bear semiannual interest. The commission experts them to sell at ',4 to ys per cent lower interest rate. The 7 9 counties which have au thorized bonds have approved issues totaling 103 million dollars. Up to August 1 of this year, all but about 10 million dollars of these will have been sold, while of the bonds already issued, $6,136,000 have been paid off. For County Bonds. The proposed state bond program will provide funds to take up the out standing county bonds as rapidly as they mature or become optional. The commission figures to retire all coun ty bonds with the proceeds of the state issue despite the fact that three million dollars more of county issues have been authorized than will be sold as a state issue. A considerable portion of the county bonds will have been redeem ed before the state bonds are issued, making it possible to pay off the rest with the revenue from the state bend issue. World-Herald.

Omaha Drop ped from Lin coln Highway Rerouting Thru Blair Is Authorized Results in 28.6 Mileage Decrease. CORRECTS A CONGRESSMAN Washington Secretary Mellon is sued a statement late Friday saying the statement of Representative Byrns of Tennessee, ranking demo crat on the house appropriations com mittee, "confuses the matter of ap propriations with actual expendi tures and leaves an erroneous impres sion. " Ryrns had accused the presi dent of "juggling" figures to show lower appropriations and expendi tures than he said had been made. "As a matter of fact," Mellon said, "the figures presented by the presi dent to the press were furnished by the budget bureau and are the July 1 working figures of the treasury de partment. As previously stated, de ficit, the total budget estimates of expenditures for the present fiscal year are $4,203,254,457, as compar ed with actual expenditures for the last fiscal year of $3,994,152,487, or an increase of $209,101,970, being nn increase of 5 per cent. Naturally these figures do not include amount appropriated for future years which will not be expended during the pres ent fiscal year." SENATOR DIES IN AMBUSHING Charleston. S. C, July 25. State Senator K. J. Dennie of Berkeley county, died at Riverside hospital here Friday afternoon from wounds received Thursday when he was shot down on a street at Monks Corner, his home. The Berkeley county political leader, whose ambushing was asscrib ed by Governor John G. Richards to his fight on bootleggers in the coun ty, was shot through the brain with buckshot. His optic nerves were severed. W. I. "Monk" Thonley, young Berkeley county man, is in the state penitentiary at Columbia charged with the shooting. Berkeley county has for years been the scene of bitter political and whisky wars. Senator Dennis death is the second laid to these hostilities this year. Two other men have been seriously wounded. Read the Journal Want-Ads. Fremont The rerouting of the Lincoln highway so that Omaha and Council Bluffs would be eliminated from the route and the Missouri river would oe crossed at Blair, was au thorized Thursday by G. S. Hoag, na tional secretary of the Lincoln High way association. The rerouting will decrease the mileage by 2S.6 miles, Hoag said. The highway, under the change, will fol low a direct line from Missouri Val ley, la., to Fremont, Neb. The change had been contemplated for twelve years, Hoag said, but bad roads and the absence of a suitable bridge would not permit the rerout ing. ISiow that road conditions nave improved and a new bridge has been constructed over the Missouri at Blair, he said it will be feasible to make the change. The rerouting provides for the largest single cut in the mileage ever accomplished by a change in the Lin coln highway. Hoag has been in Fre mont since Saturday conferring with highway officials regarding the pro posed change. Omaha Protest Futile. Omaha The announcement Thurs day that Omaha and Council Bluffs had been removed from the Lincoln highway route resulted in vigorous protest by Mayor Metcalfe of Omaha, the chamber of commerce, the Omaha Auto club and others. The Omaha protest was filed late Thursday with Governor Weaver and F. A. Seiberling of Akron, O., presi dent of the National Lincoln high way organization. Mayor Metcalfe, immediately af ter receiving the announcement, went to Fremont to confer with G. S. Hoag. With Metcalfe were Harry S. Bryne of the Omaha Auto club and B. J. Boyle of the Omaha city legal staff. Hoag, however, was unmoved by the protest. "This new route I out- ined is to be the new Lincoln high way route," Hoag told the mayor. 'It was decided upon at a meeting of the board of directors of the national association in Detroit July 3. No notice was given to Omaha because the association never consults cities from which the highway is removed, altho permission always is obtained from cities thru which the highway is to run.

NEWLYWEDS VISIT HERE PROTEST RULES ON CORN SUGAR PRODUCT LA3EL Lincoln, July 25. A brief he has filed with Secretary Arthur M. Hyde of the Department of Agriculture on "discrimination" against corn su gar was made public here Friday by Secretary C. B. Steward of the Ne braska Farm Bureau federation. Departmental regulations require that an article containing corn sugar shall be labeled. Secretary Hyde, however, held a hearing on that subject Friday in Washington. He invited Steward some time ago to appear or to send in a statement. Steward not only complied but ask ed Nebraska's representatives and senators to add their protests against the enforced labeling. In his statement. Steward said corn sugar is not in any sense an imita tion or substitute and should not be discriminatedd against any more than should cane or beet sugar.

JOT t&mm b1? JPsnpE(S The lotv-priced automobile has brought greatrr opportunity and added hourt of recreation to- millions of men and women. BECAUSE the automobile is such an im portant factor in the lives and pros perity of eo many people, the purpose of the Ford Motor Company is something more than the mere manufacture of a motor car. There is no service in elmply setting up a machine or a plant aad letting it turn out goods. The serv ice extends into every detail of the business design, production, the wages paid and the sell ing price. All are a part of the plan. The Ford Motor Company looks upon itself as charged with making an auto mobile that will meet the needs of millions of people and to provide it at a low price. That is its mission. That is iis duly and its obligation to the public. The search for better ways cf doinj; thirds is never-ending. There is ceasc ess, untiring effort to find new metheda and new machine, that will save steps and time ia manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, a great mechanical uni versity, dedicated to the advancement of industry. Many manufacturers come to eec and share the progress made. The greatest progress comes by never standing still. Today's methods, however successful, can never be taken as wholly right. They represent simply the beet efforts cf the mor. morrow must bring an ment in the methods of the day before. Hard work usually finds the way. Once it was thought impossible to cast gray iron by the endless chain method. All precedent was against it and every previous experiment had failed. But fair prices to the public demanded that waste ful methods be eliminated. Finally the way was found. Abetterway of making axle shafts saved thirty-six million dollars in four years. A new method of cutting crankcases re duced the cost by $500,000 a year. The perfection of a new machine saved a similar amount on such a little thing as cne bolt. Then electric welding was de veloped to make many belts unnecessary and to increase structural strength. Just a little while ago, an endless chain conveyor almost four mtles long was in stalled at the Rouge plant. This conveyor has a daily capacity of 300,000 parts weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds. By substituting the tireless, unvarying machine for tasks formerly done by hand, it has made the day's work easier for thousands of workers and saved time and money in the manufacture of the car. All of these things are done in the interest of the public so that the benefits of reliable, economical uent. To- tiL'rtifcfiTfiffii transoortation may be placed improve- iSHti' within the means of every one. FOUR COMPANY VOTE ASKED ON FALLS CITY COLLEGE PLAN Falls City, July 25. A committee urging the establishment of a junior college here Friday adopted a reso lution asking that a special election be called to determine whether resi dents want the institution. The committee will circulate peti tions immediately to give the school board a basis for calling the election. The group agreed that the school should not be opened before the fall of 1931. II. B. Simon, superintendent of Norfolk schools, told residents at tending a special meeting here Thurs day night that the junior college movement is one of the most impor tant in education. "It is recognized by many educators as a solution of the crowded university problem," he said. Students in a Junior college here, he asserted, would be capable of do ing better work than at the state uni versity because they would have strict supervision and personal contact. William A. Pixley, secretary of the chamber of commerce, said Norfolk business men estimated that a two year college there means $75,000 annually to local business. v l nomas wailing company y f- Abstracts of Title 4 Phone 324 - Plattsmouth t T i-i-i-m-i-i-k- Summer Tropicals 20 DISCOUNT!
