Ml . Johnson was 53 years 8
months and 29 days old at the time
of her death, passing away Thurs
day night. Sept. 25th. at 8:30 at
the Clarkson hospital, Omaha. Al-
tho in ill health for several years she
was always of a cheerful disposition
and was thought of by her neigh
bors as a very devoted wife and mo
ther. She loved her home and the

we know she suffered greatly at
times and now she has gone to her
Eternnl reward where there will be

to be with God and where she will
await the coming of her loved ones
left to mourn her loss on this earth
and where "Some diy all doubt and
mystery will be made clear," and we
shall see how God's perfect plan was
best for all. And whatever lot await
me, this my sure test thought shall
be, that the tenderest heart in
heaven truly, kindly thinks of me.

1,000 Miles
of Paving
$30,000,000 Project Finished; Plan
More Improvements by Bonds
From Gas Taxes.
Iowa's extensive highway paving
program for 1930, adopted after Pres
ident Hoover requested all state offi
cials to include as many public im
provement projects as possible in the
year's construction schedule, was
nearly completed Tuesday.
The 1.000-mile goal originally set
had been reached, but there remain
ed an additional 40 miles contracted
for after exceptionally favorable
weather enabled contractors to finish
projects ahead of schedule.
The new paving, including the
completion of a continuous ribbon

Decline Given Impetus by Failure
of Large Investment House
Earlier Support
New York, Sept. 30. Share prices
on the New York Stock and Curb
Exchanges plunged downward for
the sixth consecutive trading ses
sion today, as the decline gained
fresh impetus from the first failure
of a prominent Wall street invest
ment house since the great bull mar
ket came to grief a year ago.
Not in recent stock exchange his
tory has the market closed lower for
so many consecutive days. Last No
vember the market closed persistent
ly lower on no more than four con
secutive days, although compared to
that crash the current decline has
been a mere flop.

additional miles of paving within the
next two years.
The year's program cost nearly
S30.000.000. The funds were pro
vided by road bonds to be paid off
mainly from revenue from state gaso
line taxes and automobile license
fees.
Besides completion of U. S. No. 34,
the year's program has brought U. S

been suspended for insolvency.
A Partial Recovery.
Earlier in the session what ap
peared to be powerful support had
been thrown into the market, and
many traders felt that one of the
sharp automatic upturns such as
normally punctuate protracted de
clines was in the making. The gains
were soon lost, however, and a hec
tic flurry of selling accompanied the
Sisto announcement. The market
made partial recovery, however, be
fore the closing gong.
Throughout the day many of the
so-called pivotal shares strongly re
sisted selling pressure, and at the
close few of these stocks were down
as much as $2. There were numer
ous net losses throughout the list of
$2 to $5 or more, however, with
some ot tne infrequent ly traaed, or
more erratic issues, losing $10 a
share or more.
Sales of 4.500.000.
The day's sales were close to 4,-
500,000 shares, the largest since
June 18. when the turnover exceed
ed C, 400, 000 shares.
The extent of the damage which
may be revealed in the Sisto failure
could not be learned. No comment
was available from partners of the
firm, and no statement of assets and
iabilities was disclosed. Although
he Sisto company was not one of the
larger investment houses, it had wide
connections. World-Herald.
