The funeral services of Benjamin F. Laughlin, long time resident of Greenwood and vicinity, was held on Monday at the Christian church where for so many years he had been ja faithful and devoted member. Rev. S. A. Parks, of Lincoln, pastor of the church in the years of Mr. Laughlin's residence at Greenwood, conducted the services. The Masonic lodge con ducted the services at the grave.

I where he had made his home since :1920. when following the death of ithe wife he joined the daughter and family and who have cared for him ! since that time. He was aged eighty nine years, seven months and one day. Benjamin F. Laughlin was born at Davenport, Iowa, on Au?uu 28, 1841, and spent his boyhood in the local ity. On the outbreak of the civil war i lu- heard the ( all of his country and Washington Attorney General Mitchell served notice thai justice department attorneys would support Chairman Smith, ot the power com mission, "as vigorously as they know how" against an attempt by the sen ate to oust him from office. The an nouncement completed the lineup for the prospective legal conflict between President Hoover and the senate. A few minutes earlier Smith had an nounced that George Wharton Pep per, former senator from Pennsyl vania, would serve as his personal counsel. The controversy arose when the senate, after once confirming Smith's appointment, sought to reconsider following the dismissal of two com mission employes. President Hoo ver refused to return Smith's name. The appointment of Pepper gave an added political touch to the contro versy. The senate already had em ployed John W. Davis, deniocr.i presidential nominee in 1J24. to rep resent it in the test. to his statement Attorney Cer.- eral Mitchell said an Impression had gained credence "in some Quartern that the attorney genera intends to east the burden of defending the ap pointment on Mr Smith and coun sel retained by him." "That is not the case," Mitchell j asserted. He explained there was i technical Question as to the stat luatory authority of the attorney general to appear as attorney for a federal official In such litigation. Adding that for this reason justice uepartment omctais would not ap pear as attorneys of record for Smith, but as "friends of the court." Herlin. March 31. Julius Curtius. reich foreign minister, upholding the projected Austro-German economic union against attacks of the British and French foreign ministers, Ar thur Henderson and Aristride Briand, in an address to the reichsrat, or state council, today said that it vio late! no treaties and was Intended to fit Into plans for better economic organization of Europe. Studiously avoiding controversy, he delved into the economic motives underlying the accord and attempt ed to refute Henderson's statement that the manner in which it was reached was calculated to arouse sus picion and M. Hriand's comment that it was a threat to peace. "Economic worries brought the Austrian and German nations to gether," he said. "It is economic dis tress which urges us on." He briefly recapitulated the German-Austrian economic situation and then declared: "We both expect by co-ordinating our customs and trade relations to give new life to improve and expand the economy of both peoples. "Our accord moves along the lint s of Pan-Kuropean co-operation. We've enthusiastically welcomed all plana for improving European order by t!v closest possible co-operation." He expressed the opinion, however, that the new European order must arise from a series of partial agree ments by which customs barriers are gradually removed and internal mar kets created. "The idea of regional understand ing comes mere and more into the foreground," he said. Willing to Submit to League. Taking up Mr. Henderson's pro posal to take the judicial aspects of the proposed union before the coun cil of the League of Nations, the Ger man foreign minister said his trov ernment saw no reason for occupy ing the league with matters which NOW is the time to plant FERRY SEEDS!

The house I of representatives this afternoon sud denly and unexpectedly advanced to third reading the biennial appropria ; tions bill as drafted by its finance committee, with only one minor amendment appended. The bill that aroused a storm of protest from demo cratic leaders and Governor Charles I W. Bryan will next be voted upon as a whole and If passed, sent on to the senate. As advanced, the bill carries appro priations totaling approximately ;s.4:L!90.S37.20, or $2,620,643 more , than Governor Bryan recommended. Many Amendments Rejected. Early advancement of the meas ure exceeded the expectations of re publican leaders. Representative 'George O Malley. Greeley, democratic floor leader, and his 43 party mem bers in caucuses Monday and Tuesday ; nights had drafted 65 amendments devised to bring the financial program down on a par with Bryan's recom- mendations. 1 Amendment after amendment pro j posed by democrats, however, went down to defeat by varying margins. and finally O'Malley admitted that Uhe democratic opposition had waver ied and fallen. j As the final gesture of the long afternoon session, an attempt was inade to eradicate the entire appro prlatjon for the state board of agri culture and the state fair. T. B. Testing Kept. This motion was made by Tom 'Martin Idem.) of Clay Center, who had been previously routed during the afternoon on other attempts to trim the bill. His provision, however, wiping out the entire, sum of $159,500 for all fair activities and all work of the board of agriculture was defeateci 86 to 7. The first amendment of the day would have eliminated tubercular testing of cattle, so far as state funds are concerned. Elimination, and also cutting of the funds in hall, were eai h defeated. World-Herald. Apple Trees in Need of Care ful Priming Prcf. C. C. Wiggans Tells of Meth ods to Be Followed in Various Parts of the State Amount mud type of pruning Deed ed by an apple tree at planting time depends upon the part of the state in which it is planted. Prof. C. C Wlggans of the agricultural college horticultural department s;ys. In sections where strong winds and sur -scald injury make tree growing diffi cult, the trees should be made t." branch close to the ground, even tho this docs increase the likelihood Of rabbit damage. In other parts of the state, extremely low branch,.; iinteriere with cultivation, and hence a short trunk is allowed to develop. A one year old tree with a straight whip four to six feet long should be cut back to thirty to thirty-six inches when transplanted in eastern Ne braska. Wlggans directs. In west ern Nebraska the height should be eighteen inches. Since the topmost bud normally develops into the lead er of the tree, the pruning cut should be made just above a strong bud on the southwest side of the tree to counteract the effect of the pre VI ilinr teractsouth or southwest winds dur- i ing tlie growing season. In transplanting a two year old tree, the apple grower has a more complicated pruning problem, the college man says. It is better to re move certain branches entirely thai to cut back each branch of the tret. ' i believes. The leader and one to rce side branches ai-e generally ft on the tree. The lowest of the ..ranches, in eastern Nebraska plant ings, should be about twenty-four Inches from the ground and on the southwest side of the tree trunk to prevent stinscald. In western Ne braska planting, the first branch should be as close to the ground as nossible.
