that Bayer Aspirin won't relieve and
never a time when you can't take it.
The tablets with the Bayer cross are
always safe. They will not depress the

as often as they can spare you any pain
or discomfort. Just be sure to buy the
genuine. Examine the box. Beware of

should be made a good one.

Bttd Uagmate tays Fear It Lessen-
htz, Credit Kobilited. "His
tory Will Ccpeat Itself
New York, Oct. 23. "Restrained
cheerfulness' regarding the future
of business featured the address of
Charles M. Schwab today . at the
semi-annual meeting of the Ameri
can Iron and Metal institute.
Although recognizing that "we
hare a real depression," the speaker
declared the country had been
through "perilous periods" in times
past and had always emerged to a
prosperity greater than ever before.
He believed that "history will re
peat itself." Mr. Schwab is president
of the Institute.
"Fear has been lessened," he said.
"There will be no collapse. The
sources of credit have been mobilized
and we shall pull through. I have
seen us pull through too many crisis
to. be overwhelmed by the situation
of the past months."
The Schwab viewpoint was sum
med up as follows: "I believe in the
continued growth of our country, the
essential strength of the steel in
dustry, and the ability of our nation
to master the problems of a compli
cated age. If this be optimism, make
the most of it."
XXnst Face Facts.
Although, he said, "every one Is
feeling better," Mr. Schwab warned:
"We must face some hard facts both
in our own business and the indus
trial world as a whole.
"The lesson is that we cannot
longer ignore the economy of other
countries. In other depressions we
could forget about the hard times
in other countries. Then we were a
debtor nation and largely self-suffi
cient. Today we are acreditor nation
and the prosperity of our interna-
tional neighbors is necessary to our
well being. We must promote better
economic relationships among na
tions, and we must declare a perm
anent moratourium on national
jingoes."
Te desire of peoples in all parts
of the world Is for peace, the speak
er Bald, adding that "the talk of an
other war has no place in the hearts
of people anywhere."
"Excitable Temperament."
Of the security markets, the steel
executive said: "For a time the Am
erican public has had a bad case of
nerves. The liquidation of securities
has been beyond all reason. One
would conclude by the security prices
that our transportation lines would
never do any more business. Trans
portation, in fact, Is a basic necessity
of all business.
"I am not aiming to boost rail
road stocks, nor am I saying that
the market will go higher or lower
in the immediate future, but I do
say that the over-liquidated prices
of many securities is a sign of too
short perspective, and too excitable
temperament."
The American home market was
pictured tonight by James A. Farrell,
president of the United tSates Steel
corporation, as the "pivotal point of
trade recovery." He spoke at the
fall banquet of the institute.
"We have the capital, if freed by
confidence," he asserted, "for a more
vigorous and aggressive policy to
make this market the pivotal point of
trade recovery. We have an immense
consuming capacity and must dis
cover means for increasing consum
er demand.
"We must resolve at all hazards
to restore and maintain our stand
ard and loyal co-operation there.
There is but one course for us to
pursue the path which in former per
iods of depression brought us in
safety to higher levels of prosperity.
"Competition, as we know, is the
law of life. In business it means a
healthy struggle foV profitazle trade
through a lowering of costs. Legiti
mate competition is the chief incentive-to
progress through greater en
terprise and efficiency." World

Hanover, N. H. Shouting "tax
ation without representation is ty
ranny," 1,500 Dartmouth college stu
dents engaged in a noiBy demonstra
tion against a proposal asking the
voters of Hanover to raise 9200,000
for construction of a new high school.
After a bonfire on the campus, the
students gathered in Webster hall
where a suggestion that they take
over the town government met with
enthusiasm and brought several
nominations for mayor.
They then marched to a grade
school where a town meeting was
considering the school bond issue,
and demanded the meeting be trans
ferred to the college hall, where the
students might take part. It appear
ed the college men had no objection
to the town's building a new high
school, but did object to the added
taxation it would impose on frater
nity members who are not eligible
voters.
Farmer Dies
from Injuries in
Fall from Tree
Lee Haswell, Farmer in Vicinity of
Louisville, Has Back Bro
ken in Fall
from Thornflay'B Dany
The funeral of Lee Haswell. 32,
farmer of the vicinity of Louisville,
was held today at Avoca, the former
family home, to which place the
body was taken following the death
of the young man at an Omaha hos
pital Tuesday.
Mr. Haswell was injured Monday
when he fell from a tree that he was
trimming at the old Milton Gentry
farm southeast of Louisville. He was
cutting off a dead limb from the up
per portion of the tree and fell a
distance of twenty-five feet to the
ground. The fall resulted in the
breaking of the back of Mr. Haswell,
the spinal cord being completely
severed between the shoulders. The
accident occurred about 11 o'clock
in the morning and the injured man
was not discovered until 5 o'clock
Monday afternoon when Ed Ingrim.
Sr., hunting some stray cattle, heard
the groans of Mr. Haswell and in
vestigating, discovered him lying on
the ground where he had fallen
hours before. The "injured man was
still conscious and said that he had
heard the Louisville cement plant
whistle sometime after the accident
and placed the time of his injury at
about 11 o'clock.
Mr. Haswell had intended to help
a neighbor, Lloyd Group, shuck corn
in the afternoon, the family not e
pecting his return home until eve
ning and so his absence had occas
ioned no alarm. 1
He was paralyzed from the shoul
ders down and was hurried on into
Omaha where he 4iedyseveral .hours
later at the M. K. hospital.
He is survived by the widow and
four small children.

CENSORSHIP IS DANGEROUS
Atlanta Representatives of world
Methodism were told danger lies in
extremely rigid censorship of the
theater. Addressing the denomin
ation's ecumenical conference. Rev.
Thomas Tiplady of Great Britain,
said that altho a certain amount of
censorship was necessary, the dan
ger of too much should be recognized.
"Let us not make the mistake the
Puritans made when they closed the
theaters," he added. "Let us, rather,
educate the people. Public opinion
is the final censorship."
He predicted that all churches
twenty-five years from now will have
motion picture apparatus and that
noted pastors ' will address millions
thru talking pictures.

Ohio Plan Not
Legal Here
Real Estate Mortgages Not to Be
Used to Secure Public Funds
Now in Banks.
A plan to be tried in Ohio to re
lieve banks by permitting them to
substitute real estate mortgages for
securities which they have deposited
to secure public funds will not be
workable in Nebraska, according to
State Treasurer T. W. Bass, for the
reason that the "Nebraska jaw does
not authorize the giving of real es
tate mortgages for that purpose.
Treasurer Bass said Nebraska had
such a law applying only to county
and city deposits, but it was repeal
ed by the legislature of 1929.
The attorney general of Ohio has
discovered a statute which had been
overlooked which allows the banks
to deposit real estate mortgages of a
certain class as security for county,
municipal and school district funds,
and says it may be enforced for the
purpose of releasing other forms of
securities to banks which .can use
them to advantage. In another state
the attorney general has ruled that
real estate mortgages are not con
templated as security for public
funds.
The Nebraska law, said Treasurer
Bass, permits authorized banks to
deposit a guaranty bond for security
of public deposits, also United tSates
government bonds or bonds of the
state of Nebraska, or of any stale
whose bonds are purchasable by the
Nebraska board of educational lands
and funds for investment of perman
ent school funds; also bonds of any
county, school district, or city or vil
lage bonds iRsued in Nebraska, or
bonds issued under authority of the
federal farm loan act. This law is
being ftrictly enforced by the state
treasurer. It Is said.
