United States was $ 3 1,8 18,2 6 6 $1,
787,397 less than in June, 1929. We

six months of the year was $242,
339,771, corresponding to $230,092,-

Washington Indians now M'ards
of the United States, are to receive
every opportunity the Indian Bu
reau can give to become independ
ent, self-sustaining citizens in full
measure, through vocational train
ing, aid in finding and keeping pro
per emplyoment and development of
agriculture and industry, Charles J.
Rhoads, commissioner, declared in a
report to President Hoover.
Placing emphasis upon changes in
educational procedure, Mr. Rhoads
said that subjects of practical value
to the Indian are to feature the new
policy.
"The program of Indian education
and the courses of study offered in
cur Indian tchools, Mr. Rhoads de
clared, "are being modified and ex
panded bo as to place increasingly
greater emphasis on education of a
practical and vocational character, so
that upon completion of the pre
scribed courses the Indian boy or girl
may be fitted to take his or her place
in the life of the nation, whether as
an industrial worker, an agricultur
ist, a teacher, clerk or in some other
of the innumerable ways in which
American citizens earn their living.
.'It is our plan to merge the Indian
into the state school system as far as
possible. There is a steady and con
stant increase in the number of In
dian children attending public
schools and a growing tendency on
the part of the public schools to re
ceive the Indian child on the same
basis as the white child without any
race distinction. In grades and gen
eral standing the Indian pupils com
pare favorably with the whites."
After graduation it is essential for
the Indian to find proper work, Mr
Rhoads added, An amount of $50,
000 is included in the 1931 Appro
priation Act for obtaining remuner
ative employment for Indians, and
several placement and guidance ohT
cers have been appointed. Exten
sion of this activity will be sought
by the bureau, according to Mr,
Rhoads.
Additional subsistence, clothing
personnel and equipment for Indian
schools is provided for In an appro
priation of $1,100,000, made by the
last- Congress,- he continued.
Agriculture, stock raising, and in
dustrial phases of the Indian work
are being developed, Mr. Rhoads said
is a further means of enabling the
Indian to become economically self-
sufficient. Attention is being given to
relieving Indian lands from certain
charges accumulated against ..them

added.. . -. ..
tenance of peace" and the confer
ence joins in an appeal for a further
effort to secure continued reduction
of armaments by international agree
ment. There emerged from the confer
ence, as contained in the encyclical
letter, the declaration that no one
should be excluded from worship of
any church on account of color or
race and that the guiding principle
of racial relation should be interde
pendence and not competition.
No mention is made in the ency
clical of such controversial subjects
as the Anglo-Catholic movement, the
prayer book cr disestablishment, or
of separation of church and state.
Birth Control Stand.
The vote on only one of 75 reso
lutions on which the bishops acted
was made public. That concerned
birth control and was carried by 193
votes to 67. The resolution stipu
lates that "where there is a clear
ly felt moral obligation to limit or
avoid parenthood, the method must
be decided on Christian principles."
The resolution strongly condemns
"the use of any methods for birth
control from motives of selfishness.
luxury or mere convenience."
In all questions of marriage and
sex the conference emphasizes the
nted of education. On the subject of
divorce the bishops are equally out
spoken. The resolution reads:
"The conference, while passing no
judgment on the practice of regional
or national churches within our com
munion, recommends that marriage
of one whose former partner is still
living should not be celebrated ac
cording to the rites of the church."

Humanize' Urge
Bishops in Call
from Conference
Angelican Prelates Adopt Stand on
Problems of Living; Recognize
' Help of Modern Science
Lambeth Palace, London, Aug. 14
A call to "humanize religion," to
defend the Christian standard of the
family, of marriage and sacredness of
sex and to" meet squarely and frank
ly other problems of life, was sound-
)d by the Lambeth conference of An
gelican bishops, which has Just con
luded its deligerations here.
Sixty, bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church of the United States
were among the 306 who sat for five
weeks under the chairmanship of
the archbishop of Canterbury.
This afternoon the archbishop dis
cussed the results of the conference,
as embodied in an encyclical letter
ind 70 resolutions, containing in all
some. 70 thousand words, considered
by the church authorities to be
epochal in the history of the church
of England and challenging to the re
ligious thought of the world..
Other results of the conference are
a recognition of the help to religion
of modern science and a call of
youths, in its "mental confusion and
spiritual hunger."
Admit Women as Deaconesses.
The conferences also brought to
light a record of a stimulus to a
growing movement toward Christian
unity throughout the world and the
admission of women to the ministry
of the. church as far as the order of
deaconess.
Another . important ' development
was the denunciation of. war as in-
;ompatible with the. teaching of
Christ, together with a clear cut
statement - that "the existence of

London Opposition to Lord Beav
erbrook's Empire Free Trade policy
and faith in the traditional Free
Trade system of Great Britain were
voiced by Thomas Richards, presi
dent of . the Minert' Federation of
Great Britain, at the annual confer
ence at Weston-Super-Mare on Aug.
11.
Mr. Richards approached the ques
tion from the viewpoint of the coal
industry's need for overseas markets.
Exports of coal to countries within
the Empire, he declared, were nor
mally less than 2 per cent of the to
tal exports. Canada was the only one
importing British coal in any quan
tity, but its imports from Great
Britain were negligible compared
with those of European countries,
Canada is the chief customer of the
surplus coal of the United States and
Mr. Richards thought that Great
Britain U unlikely to wrest away this
trade in view of the geographical
situation.
Lord Beaverbrook's proposals, he
added, would have serious effects in
those countries which are now Brit
ain's chief customers and would in
crease the difficulties of export trade.
Mr. Richards believed that mine
workers in the exporting districts
would find themselves without em
ployment as well as having to pay
exorbitant prices for foodstuffs.
Meanwhile Lord Beaverbrook, ad
dressing an Independent Labor Party
cummer school at Welwyn on Empire
free trade, admitted that higher tar
iffs are "to some extent" liable to
lead to loss of markets, but argued
that, despite the tariffs, British mar
kets could be extended in Canada
and Australia. Lord Beaverbrook also
said that without duties on foreign
foodstuffs his policy would fall flat.

, Last evening W. II. Hoover of
Louisville arrived in tliis city en
route home from "Kansas City, Mis
souri; where he '-'was in attendance
at "the funeral Qf.h're brother-in-law,
II. C. Schmidt, a civil engineer and
purveyor of the early days in this
part of Nebraska and a long time
resident of Plattsmouth.
Mr. , Schmidt passed away at the i
ripe old age of eighty-three years,
he having for the past few years suf
fered a gradual breakdown as the
result of an accident in which he
was injured by -an auto and which
at his advanced years caused a gen
eral breaking down of his health.
The "deceased received his educa
tion -in German technical schools
taking: up his work as a draftsman
and surveyor and on coming to the'j
United States he came to Nebraska
in the early seventies and located at
Plattsmouth. At this time the Burl-
in trt on railroad was entering the
state and he had the task of help
ing lay out the railroad through this
portion of the west, going from
Plattsmouth west to Lincoln to lay
out what is known as the "short
line" of the railroad.
Later in 1872 Mr. Schmidt entered
the office of the surveyor general at
Plattsmouth as a draftsman, serving
there until 1875 when he again re
sumed his activities as surveyor and
engineer. He also assisted in platting
he townsite of 1 Louisville, where
his father-in-law,' Captain J. T. A. ;
Hoover was one of the early set
tlers.
In 1890 Mr. Schmidt was elected
as county surveyor of Cass county
and served in that capacity for a
few years or until 1893 whei he re
moved with his family to Kansas
City, Missouri, following his pro
fession there for. many years and
up "until a short time before his
death was engaged in work in the
surveyors office at Kansas City.
Mr. Schmidt is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Catherine Schmidt, one
son, John H. Schmidt of Pocatello,
Idaho, and three daughters, Miss
Lillian Schmidt, Mrs. Nell C. Speck
of Kansas City and Miss Ida Schmidt
of Coffeyville, Kansas. -
The deceased was the engineer

of the office of the register of aeeda
of Cass county.

We have just received a big piece of power farming
news the McCormick-Deering FARMALL price has
been cut $50, and we are at once passing the informa
tion on to our customers. The Harvester Company's
announcement says:
"We are glad to be able to make a reduction in the FARMALL
tractor price at this time because right now the farmer is seriously
in need of anything that will help him to cut down his costs of
crop production.
"Due to manufacturing economies and anticipated reductions
in material costs, we were able to reduce prices on the McCormick
Deering implement lines, effective for the present season.
"Recently, by the same process, we lowered the price on the
10-20 McCormick-Deering tractor $40, and cut the 15-30 tractor
price $75.
"Now, to complete our program of reductions, we announce
a $50 cut in the price of the FARMALL.
"These price reductions, made during recent months, mean a
saving to farmers of millions of dollars.
"As the original all-purpose tractor the McCormick-Deering
FARMALL has won tremendous popularity. More than 100,000
FARMALLS have been built. Already this tractor has created a
real revolution in farming. It is the best investment a farmer
can make. -
"The new price, $825 f. o. b. Chicago, is the lowest ever placed
on the FARMALL."
You have probably seen the FARMALL Tractor at work. If not, we
will demonstrate it at any time, on any job. The FARMALL replaces
6 to 10 horses and 2 to 3 men. It plows 7 to 9 acres a day . . . double
disks 18 to 25 acres . . . drills up to 45 acres ... plants 24 to 46 acres
. . . cultivates 33 to 50 acres and, in later cultivating, 50 to 65 acres.
It handles every farm power job, including row-crop operations. Put
the best tractor power to work now at the new FARMALL price!
