Burlington Officials Visit Town.
A car containing the Burlington
officials stopped at Greenwood on last
Wednesday morning and looked over
the company's property. finding
things in the very best condition. In
conversation with Rex Peters of the
Peters Giain company they volunteer
ed to furnish a car of cinders for
the use of spreading over the newly
graded grounds about the Peters
elevator, incident to the building of
the new road, and which will put
the grounds there in excellent condi
tion. Hailed West of Greenwood
The first shower which came on
last Wednesday morning and in
which was promised by the weather
bureau to contain snow, was but
slightly composed of the white flakes
which disappeared as soon as they
alighted. But something of more
force was the storm of hail which
came northwest of town where the
hail stones were as large as walnuts.

makes that territory was In the midst
of the shower.
Will Beat Them to It.
The Bankers Association of Cass
county have arranged to beat the
bank robbers to the matter of the
cash. They have all agreed to carry
but a small amount of cash in their
banks, only enough to do the cur
rent business of the day with, and
which will be done in the shape of
checks and drafts when possible,
thus leaving not enough in the banks
for the trouble and risk of the bank
robbers. In addition to this every
precaution is being taken to prevent
any handling of any of the banks,
and in connection also the business
houses as well as the stock and goods
of the farmers. Notices are posted
telling of the limited amount of cash
in the eighteen banks of this county
and all should know that the amount
which they carry is so limited that
there would be nothing in the bank
robbing business in the future.
Have Organized Vigilantes
The people of Greenwood and vi
cinity have organized a vigilance
committee which is composed of the
town and the surrounding county
whose efforts will be directed to pre
vent the robbing of the banks, and
business houses and the farmers. This
should go a long ways to prevent the
depredations which have been such
a menace to all business.
Had Wonderful Trip.
On last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
McDonald who were in the west for
the past ten days arrived home, hav
ing driven during their absence some
1200 miles, they visiting at Akron,
Colorado and at many places in Ne
braska and at every place after get
ting some distance from here they
found excellent crops and enjoyed
the hunting of ducks and visiting
with friends and relatives. At Akron
they visited with the lather of Mr.
McDonald and found that gentleman
enjoying good health and with crops
on his ranch making good yields.
They were loath to return, they were
having such a good time, but con
cluded that they must get back and
at the work which was awaiting
them.

SEE A PLOT TO OVERTHROW
Madrid The government Tuesday

was designed by communist agitators
to overthrow the monarchy, and ar
rested sixty alleged leaders. Officials
charged that the arrested movement
had as its object the establishment
of a republic, with communists work
ing with certain republican ele

was wholly broken up by speedy ar
rest of the leaders.
Following discovery of th: plot

civil guards were placed on th? prin

ordered them to round up strike agi

DEMANDS CORN TARIFF BOOST
Des Moines, Nov. 21. Governor
John Hammill Friday appealed to
President Hoover for an immediate
increase in the tariff on corn.
He telegraphed the president that
reported extensive shipments of Ar
gentine corn to the United States
would destroy the American market
for corn, "the price of which is al
ready too low considering the small
crop.
The governor asked that the tariff
commission recommend an increase
which the president has authority to
grant under the flexible provisions of
the tariff law.
"The protective tariff should
be made effective where possible
so as to protect the American
market for the American farm
er," the telegram read.
"It is to be remembered that
if the cost of production of the
Argentine corn where identical
with the cost of producing the
same commodity in this coun
try, midwest producers would
suffer through abnormally high
er transportation rates as ap
plied on all railroads, as com
pared to ocean going traffic."

Stresses Urgency
of Economy
Saying Reparations Not Alone Cause
of Germany's Troublts Ex
plains Tax Plan
Berlin, Nov. 21. The German
government turned its attention to
day to a German-wide campaign for
economy.
While the front pages of the news
papers were filled with stories and
comment on yesterday's speech nf Dr.
Curtius. foreign minister, intimat
ing the possibility of moratorium or
the convening of a special advisory
committee on the Young plan, CH"
eellor Bruening took up the econ :
battle on the home front.
In order that the call for utmot'
economy should penetrate to the
most remote corners of the Fetch.
Chancellor Bruening addrpcrd a
delegation from rural notnmtrhltte
now meeting here. Th trail the
first time that a chancellor had tak
en the trouble personally to explain
the German financial situation to
rural representatives.
No Radical Cure Promised.
The situation, he sa'rl. is today
more serious than at the end of the
inflation year of 1923. for the gov
ernment could not repeat its ex
pedient of issuing a new renten
mark. Neither can the government prom
ise a radical cure for the ills beset
ting the farmers within the next
six months or year, but a beginning
had been made to grapple with their
financial difficulties and so avoid
collapse, he said.
"Whoever thinks reparations
alone are the cause of all our trou
bles closes his eyes to the truth,"
the chancellor said. "The Gen
people and its leaders during the
last few years have wholly OTen
timated the country's economic pos
sibilities and by superfluous build
ing have carried quite a strong im
pression abroad."
Points to Reform.
The chancellor explained that the
proposed tax reforms would sh"
beneficial effect within the next two
years.
"If you don't believe it. I cannot
make you," he Bald a parting
shot, "but there is no reason to dee
pair if we act quickly nnd courage
ously upon the needs tne present
moment so plainly imposes." World
