Smith bat been compelled to purchase his Ice cream from the manufacturers at Omaha, Lincoln or some other out-of town place, and to avoid this and at the same time create a market for cream here, he is working on a plan that will assure his patrons or a supply of good pure ice cream thru? out the year. The plan includes. the manufacture of this product here- at home along a different tlan tjMUi that in use by other manufacturers. Evolving in his. mind, the plans for a machine "for 'this purpose, he was able to outline a working plan of the same an d with the services of Edward Stradley, they have designed the machine in detail and are now at work on it. The boys expect to have the new freezing unit in operation in about ten days. It will operate on the plan utilized in electric refrigeration, but will be capable of producing a tem perature of absolute zero, four degrees below that which can be obtained by combining salt and ice. By means of gates and valves, they can control the circulation of the brine, so that all portions of the machine are cool ed to an equal temperature, and the contents when sufficiently frozen are to be turned into the moulding recep ticles and there kept at correct tem perature until ready for consumption. Xot alone have they solved a problem for themselves in creating this new machine, but by means of it they will be able to provide a market for the home supply of cream that has here tofore been shipped elsewhere. The machine is electrically driven and is made of copper, brass and zinc.

Chicago. With March 7 to 15 set as the date of the campaign to sell the Federal Government "anti hoarding" securities, the public is already responding in "gratifying fashion'-' to the appeal to bring money out of hiding, according to Col. Frank Knox, Lead of the Citi zens Reconstruction Organization. Returning from Washington Feb 20, when final arrangements for the security issue were made. Colonel Knox told the press that "the Presi dent expressed both his gratification and felicitations on the progress the campaign is making, pointing out that the primary effort of the or ganization's effort, coupled with re medial legislation enacted in Wash ington has been to completely check withdrawal of money from deposits in the banks and to bring back into circulation through the banks al ready a total of $51,000,000. Colonel Knox conferred, in addi tion to President Hoover, with Mr. Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of the Treasury; Brig.-Gen. Charles CJ. Dawes, chairman of the Reconstruc tion Finance Corporation, and Mr. Harry J. Haas, president of the Am erican Bankers' Association, and as a result of this conference substan tially all the details of the campaign being planned by the Citizens' Re construction Organization were cov ered, he said. Cclonel Knox's an nouncement continued as follows: "A factor of prime importance, both to the local communities and to the local bankers, 4s the declared policy of the Treasury Department to leave on deposit in the local banks in the form of a war-loan deposit, the funds realized from the sale of these securities, for some time at least. "Since the security employed by the organization is to be the obliga tion of the Government of the Unit ed States, bearing the current rate of interest, similar to other govern ment securities, and is a short-term security, readily" (convertible into cash, these reconstruction bonds have an attractiveness which cannot fail to appeal to any individual whose chief concern is the question of se curity and safety. "Inasmuch as these are payable on demand in 60 days, this converti ble characteristic will make them likewise attractive for any individ ual who might not want to tie up money for a long period of time. . 'The definite announcement of these reconstruction bonds will be made by the Secretary of the Treas ury on March 7 and the bonds them selves will be ready for delivery at the local banks all over the country cn March 15.

OPERATION HAY SAVE LIFE Omaha Staking her life on a dan gerous operation, a sixteen year old girl will go under the knife at a local hospital Saturday in an effort to regain her health, rather than to continue thru life an invalid. Miss La Clete Sheppard, high school student at Broken Bow, was brought to the hospital Jan. 24 suf fering from an illness which caused her to bleed from the slightest wound. She has undergone threa transfusions. An Omaha surgeon will remove her spleen. The operation is regarded as dangerous, but it is the only method known that may cure her malady. Farm Board is Near a Crisis in Stormy Center Prospect of Heavy Slash in Its Ad ministration Expense Account. Wahsington. The farm board. long the target of hostile critics, is nearing a crisis in its short, turbu lent life as the government's great est experiment in farm relief. Pros pects of extensive slashes in admin istrative expenses and further deple tion of its low treasury reserve have reduced its confidence and brought discouragement to its members. Cur tailed operations "along all general lines," especially in connection with assistance to farmers' co-operative organizations, were predicted by Chairman Stone if congress cuts the beard's administrative budget from $1,880,000 to a million. Approximately 50 million dollars remains in its treasury from the 500 millions set aside from agricultural aid. Should' 40 million bushels of board controlled wheat be distribut ed to the needy, as approved by con gress, this would be further reduced by almost 15 million dollars. Public ly Stone says: "If congress sees fit to cut our bud get, we will just try to live under it." But privately he is known to feel that if the board's operations are to be crippled and rendered in effective, it might well be abolished Nevertheless lie has no intention of quitting pr. abandoning entirely the program for promoting the growth of co-operatives. "We will do the best we can with the co-operatives," he said. "We may have to let out some men who are engaged in that work and a reduced budget will affect our efficiency. We won't be able to expand the co-operatives much, but they will continue to grow without our help. The co operative movement is either right or wrong. We think it is right and that the co-operatives will go on growing, but not as rapidly as with our help." The board has primary loans of thirty-two cents a bushel on wheat bought to stabilize prices. If con gress directs that this be donated to the Red Cross for distribution to the unfortunate, these loans must be tak en up by the board, involving be tween 12 and 14 millions. Stone termed it an "extremely bad prin ciple" to use the 500 millions re volving fund set aside for agricul ture in the interests of poor relief. He said it was "utterly unfair" to donate the wheat without reimburs ing the board. State Journal. HELD IN DEATH OF M0THEB, 81 Seattle, March 3. Expressing re sentment against his brother, Dr. A.

"" I. CC Looks Into Secret Rail Share Buying Questions the Right of Part cf the Directorates to Act With out Whole. New York. The right of small groups of directors to authorize se cretly, without consultation with the rest of the board, the purchase of stock in other railroads was ques tioned before the Interstate Com merce Commission at a hearing con ducted here into the purchase of 25, 000 shares of St. Louis-San Fran cisco Railway by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway. The hearing was concluded by the examiner of the commission. No def inite purpose for the inquiry has been made public, although it was stated that the investigation has no immediate reference to the Clayton Anti-Trust Act. Mr. E. N. Hrown, chairman of the executive committee of the Hock la land and chairman of the board of the "Frisco," testified tliat the pur chase was not made privately, an "a secret ia no longer a necret when too many peiHons know of it." No written record putted between the railroad and the brokers han dling the purchaite, which was made in the open market, until the entire deal had been conKiirnmated, at which time the board cf directors of the Rock Inland was appraised of what transmitted. Similarly, a pur chase of 25,000 shares of Gulf, Mo bile & Northern Railroad stock was made by the "Frisco." Asserting that he had not been in formed of the purchase of the "Fris co" stock until December, 1930, i though the transaction was made two months earlier, Prof. William Z. Rip ley, a director and member of the executive committee of the Rock Is land, declared that, as far as he was concerned, "it must not occur again If it does. I shall resign from the board," he said. The need for secrecy was not clearly developed, although the pur pose of the purchase was to offset similar efforts to acquire stock in the "Frisco," then being made by the Southern Pacific. The Southern is further complicated by reason of the fact that the "Frisco" controls the Rock Island through ownership of 183,000 shares, yet the Rock Is land was purchasing stock in its af lliate also. "BABY BONDS" AS SAFE INVESTMENTS Saving has become an American habit. This is manifest in the re markable growth of deposits in the various savings institutions. Amer icans also aro characteristically thirtfy. They seek to make their savings earn. Variation from this policy has been marked only in times of depression, when the unreason ably timid havo turned to unpro ductive hoarding. The government estimates that unproductive hoard ing now amounts to z billion dol lars. The proposed issue of government bonds in denominations of $50 and $500, bearing interest at 2 per cent. soJd for the government through the banks without commission charges. and nontaxable, should be attractive to those who seek the best security there is and earnings at the same time. It is announced that these bonds will be issued to whatever ex tent there is demand for them. If the "baby bonds" serve the purpose for which they are issued they will re store to circulation a large amount of capital, the hoarding of which has been retarding business recovery. ' :o: LAWYERS ASK DISMISSAL New York. Governor Roosevelt was held by defense counsel in the grand larceny trial of Sheriff Far ley to have admitted the absence of any law requiring the sheriff to yield up the money he is accused of steal ing, by asking the legislature to pass one. In moving for a dismissal of the charges against . Fancy at the conclusion of the state's case. De fense Counsel Talley quoted news paper excerpts from the governor's message to the legislature asking that such a law be passed. Argument on the motion, during which the Jury was excused from the courtroom, will be continued Thurs day. In his mption, Talley contended the state had failed to prove tho commission of a crime. Farley, he said,, was the owner of the Interest on funds deposited with him by liti gants, "and the state had failed to prove any other owner."

Ralph Root, forty-three, sought for a week, was arrested and denied to police that he had planned the accident in which his supposed wife and step-daughter were killed when his car plunged oiT a viaduct a fortnight ago. Police did not ques tion him at length concerning charges by Mrs. Jane Root, of sub urban Blue Island, that she was his legal wife and he had tried several times to kill her, that he had boast ed cf having killed a former wife and her mother, and that he had been married illegally several times. French Renew Move to Grant Vote to Women Senate's Rejection Laid to Apprehen sion cf Cleiical Influence Had Passed Chamber of Deputies Paris. French champions of wom en's rights refuse to be discouraged because tho Senate yesterday for the thiid time turned down woman suffrage, after it had been voted by the Chamber of Deputies. Senator Louis Martin, chairman of the suffrage group in the upper house has had the debate put on the order of the day for March 15, and mean while numerous organizations are holding congresses and mass meetings to arouse public interest. Mere and more people lament the fact that France, practically alone among great European countries, re fuses all political rights to women. This was brought out in several tpeeches delivered lait night at a mass meeting attended by 3000 aud itors held in honor of Secorita Clara Camnoamor, Spanish Deputy and delegate to the League of Nations. The Senate's rejection of the suf frage measure in its present form was considered certain. It came be fore the upper house merely as an amendment to the general electoral law, which also did away vrith the second ballot in parliamentary elec tions and made voting compulsory. Already the Senate had dramati cally indicated its disapproval cf this measure when it overthrew the La val Cabinet Feb. 16. Yesterday it demolished practically all provisions of this electorial statute and it now appears the forthcoming election will be held as in the past. That's, when no candiate attains an absolute ma jority on the first ballot, a second ballot will be taken. Electorial lists have already been prepared and it is understood that even if the woman suffrage bill should be voted it would not become operative until after the impending elections It is one of the anomalies of French politics that while the Left parties are tha champion of woman suffrage, the Senate, which is con trolled by Left parties, is strongly opposed to it, while the Chamber, which is dominated by parties of the Right, has frequently approved it. One cf the principal reasons giv en by Senators for their opposition to the measur is that they desire to keep clerical influence cut of poli tics and they feel women are more susceptible than men to political in . - i UVman enrri oo mi I la u'ora nacaai I . . . by the Chamber in 1919 and 192S.I and again this year. The bill giving women the right to vote in munici pal elections was passed by the Cham ber in 1925. In all cases the Senate prevented the bills from becoming! law.

Linflberghs Mats a Personal AppsaJ to the Kidnapors Parents State an Offer to Deal Direct, in Confidence Are Willing to Pay. Hopewell, N. J., March 4. An of fer to deal directly and confidentially with the kidnapers of their blue eyed young son was made personally today by Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh. Just C2 hours after the child was stolen from his sickbed, the two anx ious parents, who had seen a moun tain of clews and leads fade one by one into insignificance, signed their names to a typewritten statement. It pledged them not "to try to injure in any way those connected with the return of the child," and to observe faithfully any promise. The 145-word message to the kid napers, emphasizing that the Lind berghs' only interest was in the Im mediate and safe return of their baby boy, made it clear that their willing ness to meet a 50 thousand dollar ransom demand had failed to obtain any response. Almost simultaneously with the issuance of this Joint plea. Governor A. Harry Moore sought to co-ordinate the nationwide manhunt by re questing officials from the eastern half cf the United States, including representatives of President Hoover, to confer with him tomorrow. In Six Languages. Early in the evening a radio sta tion, which said it was acting at the behest of an intimate friend of the Lindbergh's, began a periodic broad cast cf the parents' appeal In six languages. Editors of foreign language papers read the plea in German, Spanish, Italian, French and Yiddish, while a regular announcer read it in Eng lish. Some significance was attached to thl3 move, since it was learned from an authentic source that the care fully guarded text of the ransom note, left on the window sill of the baby's nursery contained two word in Ger man and one letter in German script. Anonymous CalL Eatlier in the day an anonymous telephone call was received at the famous flier's hilltop home, where the brains of the east's law enforce ment agencies have been scrutiniz ing clews and questioning men and women by the hundreds. The caller wanted to know wheth er Immunity would be granted the kidnapers if they decided to return the abducted 20-month-old child. Fib lice tried to trace the call, but whether they succeeded no one would say. The Invitation to send a repre sentative to Governor Moore's con ference reached President Hoover-a short time after his cabinet had con cluded an hour's mertlnir at which a' flairs of state wer shunted a1d while the Lindbergh ce wee dis cussed.
