Hustling With the Seeding.
In conversation with the writer.
Ole Olson speaking of the farming
operations said that he was getting
after the planting-'of corn and that
it was getting time to get the seed
in the ground. He started on Thurs
day morning last week with seven
listers to seed his fifteen hundred
acres of corn, and expects a good
year for the farming operations and
especially for corn which la the prin
cipal crop of this section.
Injures Knee Badly.
While at work in the cafe where
he required the use of a ladder on
which he was working, the ladder
slipped and in falling Mr. A. R. Bird
sail struck in such a way as to wrench
one of his knees and has put him
on the list of the lame for a number
of days. With the aid of a trusty
cane, however, he is able to get about
and look after his duties at the cafe.
Making Good Progress.
E. H. Armstrong, who a short time

The A. R. Blunt Motor Co. has
been appointed Oakland-Pontiac deal
er in this community, according to
announcement made today by A. R.
Blunt, sales executive. Its establish
ed location at 325 Main St. A. R.
Blunt Motor Co., now will serve lo
cal motorists in the sale and servic
ing of the Oakland Eight and Pon
tine Six. the two fine cars which the
Oakland Motor Car company develop-
d for 1931.
An important development on both
cars is found in the use of an insu
lation material of permanently resil
ient rubber compound at more than
40 separate points to increase rid
ing comfort and to establish multiple
barriers against the "telegraphing"
of road shocks or sounds of engine
and chassis operation.
Among these insulation points are
the 12 rubber shackle bushings on
each car. ten fabric-reinforced rubber
mountings insulating the frames from
the bodies, the rubber engine mount
ings, rubber transmission drive hubs
and large rubber pads which prevent
metal-to-metal contact between rear
springs and rear axles. Even the
Cross-Flow radiators ride on rubber
pads and the joints of the hydraulic
shock absorber links are silenced by
rubber. Furthermore, the five wire
wheels, standard, equipment on all
models, are equipped with a wider
type of modified drop-base rim which
enable the tires to carry from 11 to
13 per cent more air without in
creasing tire size.
Oakland's outstanding mechanical
improvement is found in the new
Sync -ro-Mesh transmission which,
combined with the S5 horsepower of
the improved V-type engine, provides
quiet second gear acceleration up to
40 to 45 miles per hour. Shifting is
exceptionally silent and easy. It be
ing possible to change from inter
mediate to high or from high to in
termediate at practically any speed.
This feature encourages the use of
Intermediate gear for rapid hill
climbing or for employing the brak
ing power of engine compression on
sharp down grades. The "compres
sion" method of braking is recom
mended particularly on slippery roads
where the danger of skidding is re
duced by keeping the car in gear,
thus equalizing the braking effect of
the rear wheels. Oakland's wheel
base is 117 inches.
The Pontiac Six wheelbase has
been lengthened to 112 inches and
its t!0-horsepower engine carries
numerous refinements including a
new type of AC air intake silencer
which eliminates carbueter and man
ifold roar at high speeds. This fea
ture also is provided on the Oakland
engine. Both engines employ a new
j design of electro-plated piston.
Because of the high road speeds at
tained by the 1931 Oakland and Pon
tiac, an added factor of safety is pro
vided through installation of larger
brakes. The drums of the four-wheel
mechanical internal type brakes have
been enlarged, increasing the Pontiac
braking surface 21 per cent to a new
area of 214 square inches and the
Oakland braking area to 232 square
inches. The brake lining on both
cars are accurately ground, tnus as
suring maximum contact between
the surfaces of linings and drums.
The nlechanical advantage of the
brake toggle links has been increased,
this improvement reducing necessary
pedal pressure while increasing brak
Ing efficiency.
Six body choices are offered in
each line: the two and four door
sedans, custom sedan, standard and
sport coupes and convertible coupe,
a new type offering the advantages
of both a closed coupe and an open
roadster. Among external features of
the Fisher bodies are included: built
in, chrome-plated radiator screens;
I curved headlamp tie-bars; long hoods
secured by single handle locks; one
piece full crown front fenders carry
ing chrome-plated indicator lamps
and invisible splash control gutters;
concave runing board aprons con
tinuing body contours to the aluminum-bound,
rubber-covered steel
running boards; full width rear
splash aprons and narrow, sloping
windshield pillars built integral with
the cowl.
Heavy, chrome-plated single bar
bumpers are provided for all models
at slight additional cost.

Governor Says Both Politi
Parties Called to Take
a Definite Stand
Princeton, N. Y. The Daily
1'rineetonian will quote Alfred E.
Smith as Raying that "both political
parties will have to take a definite
stand on prohibition in the next
presidential election."
"Citizens thruout the country are
demanding a nrompt settlement of
the question," the former governor
is quoted as saying in an interview.
He reviewed the suggestion of John
J. Raskob, of a supplementary eigh
teenth amendment for states dissat
isfied with the present situation.
"The chairman of the democratic
national committee has offered the
most important suggestion." says the
former presidential candidate. After
outlining the Raskob proposal, Mr.
Smith comments:
"In other words, this proposed re
formation of prohibition entails the
unquestionably sound democratic
principle of permitting the elector
ate to determine its own polic y. Its
leading feature is that it leavos the
whole question to be settled by the
people. The southern states, which
are dry. would never relax in the
provisions of the present law. but on
the other hand such states as Con
necticut, which are evidently wet,
would have the right to more liberal
statutes, and would certainly t:;k'
advantage of the opportunity."
In another statement appearing in
the Undergraduate Daily President
John Grier Hibben voices his appro
val of the crusaders, an organization
of young men, which is seeking re
peal of prohibition.
He says it is an effort "to gain
for the United States control of the
liquor traffic which will be most re
sponsible and effective." State Journal.
ROWAN TO PROBE STORY

According to Mrs. Jianole's story
the agent, Orville Carpenter. Omaha,

Their friendship, she said, began af

On one occasion, she declared.
Carpenter was at her place when a

DR.
SANDIN,
Clerk
Washington The existence of
drouth conditions closely parallel
ing those of last spring were describ
ed by J. B. Kincer, weather bureau
meteorologist, who said generous
rains were needed to avert a repeti
tion of the 1930 drouth.
"Rather well distributed light to
moderate rains so far this spring,"
he said, "have furnished sufficient
moisture for the current needs of
crops over most farming areas. At
the same time, the tendency still
tends, rather generally, to below nor
mal over wide sections, with but lit
tle surplus of moisture.
"There is a recognized tendency
for one dry year to follow another,
but this is not definite enough to
make a forecast. About all that can
be said at the present is that condi
tions are not materially different
from this time a year ago, and that
generous rains will be needed dur
ing the summer season because of
the large accumulated deficiencies
the past year."
Attorney for Co-Operatives States It
Will Cost Producers of Ne
braska Million Yearly.
"Hundreds of thousands of farmers
and dairy producers will feel that the j
glamoring promises of politicians are
cf no value," said H. B. Muffly, at
torney for the Nebraska Co-Oper-ative
Creameries association, com-
menting upon the action of Gover
nor Bryan In vetoing H. R. 415, a
bill by Representative O'Malley for
establishing a bureau of creamery
control in the department of agricul
ture under the governor. "It will
cost the producers of Nebraska $1,
000,000 a year," he added. He com
plained of poor standards under the
present law. He said:
"Nebraska produc ts have been dis
criminated against tot years, for the
reason mat our standards and regu
lations have not been sucn as to give
our produce favor on the eastern
markets. In other words, the leading
dairy states have such standards and
regulations as insure eastern dealers
of the quality and uniformity of their
produce.
"The vetoing of H. R. 415 will cost
the producers or Nebraska approxi
mately f 1 ,000,000 per year. It is
fair to estimate that the total amount
Of butter manufactured from Nebras
ka butter fat is a hundred million
pounds. Our butter only needs to be
brought into such favor as to bring
one cent more per pound to mean a
million dollars a year to Nebraska
farmers and dairymen.
I am informed that the trovernor s
chief objection to the bill was, that it
provided for a personnel for the bu
reau of dairy control. The bill uoes
require employes to be qualified to
handle their work. H. R. 415 does
not require any additional help, the
bureau of dairy control is within the
department cf agriculture and under
the direction of the secretary of agri
culture, a code secretary, which un
der the present arrangement with
only a deputy secretary would muke
it directly under the direction of the
governor himself.
"Section 81-10S Compiled Statu--clearly
gives the governor power to
use employes in more than one divi
sion of a department and, as a matter
of fact, is more than one department.
The provisions with repard to per
sonnel were strictly within the in
tent and spirit of this action of our
statutes.
"H. R. 415 contained a number of
provisions to prevent unfair competi
tion. The provisions were recognized
by the leading creameries and dairy
interests of the state as being fair
It provided protection for the small
creamery or dairy manufacturing
plan t against the larger ones. I do
not mean that all large creameries
are unfair but they are lust like hu
man beings, some of them are. The
large concerns who conduct their
business fairly are able to meet such
competition better than small cream
eries. Under present conditions with
som such interests in industry some
of the small creameries, and I include
farmer co-operative organizations
will be unable to survive.
"Our governor had the chance to
heln us and has failed. Hundreds of
thousands of farmers and dairy pro
ducts will again feel that th glamor
me nronnses of politicians are of no
value.
"This bill eliminated a lot of dup
lication of permits and in many ways
simplified the administration of the
dairy work of ths state. The bill as a
matter of fact would enable the work
to be done with less help."

Drought-Relief Program Ends in
Eighteen of Twenty-Two
States Affected
Washington Many farmers lave
been able to "make a new start" with
the aid of the drought relief funds
appropriated by the last Congress.
Arthur M. Hyde. Secretary of Agri
culture, announced yesterday.
The Government officially er ded
its relief program to sufferers in 18
of the 22 drought-affected states at
midnight. April 30. Loans for seed,
fertilizer and feed for livestock will
be made until May 15 in Oregon.
Washington. Montana and Pennsly
vania. These exceptions were made
because the planting season comes
later than in other states where loans
were made.
Out of a total of $67,000,000 ap
propriated by the last Congress for
relief work of all kinds in the
drought sections, approximately $44,
000,000 has been expended.
Of the $10,000,000 which was set
aside for financial rehabilitation
through agricultural credit corpora
tions, only about $400,000 has been
loaned. Aid will continue to be ex
tended to credit agencies.
The National Advisory Loan Com
mittee, headed by Mr. Hyde, has ar
proved loans totaling $368,394 to 1 9 I
stockholders in 19 credit companies
in 13 states, latest figures show.
Spring work in last season's
drought zone has progressed under
favorable conditions, Mr. Hyde de
clared. The present crop outlook he
termed good.
The American Red Cross is gradu
ally curtailing its direct relief work
in the drought areas. Its activities
are now confined largely to the moun
tainous regions. At the peak of its
relief work the organization was aid
ing 2,000,000 persons. The number
has now been reduced to approxi
mately 600.000.
Reports from Oregon declare there
has been decided change in the pic
ture that prevailed there three
months. The combination of more
than $7,000,000 distributed in the
State for feed, seed, fertilizer and
rehabilitation loans, plus veteran
loans and appropriations of credit
corporations, has resulted in a con
siderably improved situation, it is
stated.
Hot Springs, S. D., May 6. Call
ed by the Sioux tribe, a council
which may bring several thousand
North American Indians to Hot
Springs has been set for Auk. 10 to

The council was announced after
negotiations between Standing Bear,
representing the Sioux Indians, and
the Hot Springs Chamber of Com
merce, whereby the latter will pro
vide funds to finance the meeting.
Standing Bear said it was hoped
to have an attendance of 10,000
tribesmen. Including representatives
if all Indian tribes in the United
States.
Tentative plans provide for discus
sion of progress of the suit which
the Sioux nation has pending in Unit
ed States courts for $700,000,000
damages for alleged illegal seizure of
(the Black Hills by the federal gov
ernment through an invalid treaty.
