Dewey Parks was shelling and de
livering corn to the amount of 2,000
bushels to the Farmers Elevator, but
there has not been much of the crop
moved as yet. There is over a half
million bushels of corn in the terri
tory around Greenwood and only a
relatively small proportion of it being
j,old. It is an undisputed fact that
the farmers should be able to get a
much higher price for their grain
than the present low market level
but just how to do it is another mat
ter. Better times are coming, we be
lieve, and when the farmer gets back
on the upgrade, we will find a wide
spread decrease in unemployment all
over the country.

set to bring a hatch every week, with
a capacity of some 7,000 baby chicks.

business, make the most possible out
of it by getting your chicks now.
Will Hold Wolf Hunt
The depredations caused by wolves
in Cass county this winter have been
unusually heavy and hunts have been
staged in a number of communities to
round up the pests. Recently W. H.
Leesley and many of his neighbors
have noticed wolves and coyotes in
the fields near their homes, and Mr.
Leesley reports the loss of many of
his chickens to these four-legged rob
bers. As a result, there is much en
thusiasm for the holding of a wolf
hunt in this vicinity and arrange
ments have been perfected for the
holding of such a hunt east and a lit
tle south of Greenwood on Friday of
this week, February 24th, when there
will be eight square miles covered.
The point of starting will be the first
cress reads east of Greenwood and
running south two miles to the Buck
ingham corner, east two miles to the
P. A. Mcckenhaupt corner, north to
the Gus Woitzel corner and west to
the place of beginning. Rifles will
not be permitted. The hunt will be
gin at ten o'clock Friday morning.
Ervan Conn, W. II. Leesley and
George Bucknell are in charge of the
arrangements and all prospective
hunters should see one of the mem
bers of the committee for further in
structions. W. C. Boucher Very Poorly
Uncle W. C. Boucher, who has been
in poor health for the past few years,
and especially very poorly during the
entire of the past winter, and has
been compelled to remain at home
and in his bed during the past few
months, is still seriously ill and not
showing desired improvement.
Receives Severe Injury
While Grandmother Mrs. W. C.
Boucher was at work about the house,
she stumbled over a carpet sweeper
that had just been in use and was
thrown to the floor, injuring her left
arm so severely that it was thought
the member had been broken. Later
developments, however, showed that
she had suffered only severe bruises
and sprains, and she is getting along
quite well although still very sore.
Confer with County Board
Messrs. W. A. Armstrong, O. P. Pet
ers, Engineer Scott and his son made
a trip to Plattsmouth . on last Wed
nesday to confer with the county
board on the matter of the extension
of the drainage ditch through Cass
county, which has been brought to
the limit of this county by the coun
ty board of Lancaster county. The
project, although it cost a good deal
of money has salvaged many hundreds
of acres of land to profitable farming.
Now the object is to have the ditch
continued through Cass county, where
the records show an aditional 5,000
acres of fertile land can be reclaimed.
The delegation was able to interest
the members of the board in the pro
posed extension of the ditch and it Is
expected that definite action will be
taken in the near future regarding
the same.
Roosevelt wii!
be Told to Use
Greater Caution
James A. Parley, National Chairman,
Thinks Chief Must Reduce Ap
pearances in Public.
New York. While city officials
were arranging to surround Franklin
D. Roosevelt with one one of the
heaviest police guards ever assigned
to an individual when he arrives here
Friday, democratic leaders were plan
ning to urge the president-elect to
curtail his future activities. James
A. Farley, democratic national chair
man, when he learned details cf the
Miami shooting, said, Mr. Roosevelt
"probably will have to refrain from
making so many public appearances."
Other leaders at democratic nation
al headquarters, as they gathered
during the day to discuss the attempt-
ed assassination, agreed that the.
president-elect should be urged to
avoid large crowds and open gather
ings. "I am going to suggest that
he keep only the two or three more
important engagements on his calen
dar and cancel all other public ap
pearances," one prominent figure at
headquarters said.
Many recalled how extremely
"open" Mr. Roosevelt has been, both
during the campaign and since his
election. "He has shaken hands with
thousands of people," a party leader
raid, "and I shudder to think now of
the chances that any wculd-be as
sassin could have grasped on those
occasions."
Meanwhile, close friends of Mrs.
Roosevelt talked of urging her, too,
to ' curtail her public appearances.
They were especially anxious that
she drop her plan to drive to Wash
ington, unless she found it "impos
sible for me to get away quietly."
She said "emphatically no, I wouldn't
dream of such a thing," when asked
if she will ask secret service protec
tion for herself or any members of
her family as a result of the attempt
ed assassination.
Police Commissioner Mulrooney
will assign 150 picked uniformed
patrolmen to remain on duty con
stantly as a Roosevelt guard. They
will form a cordon around the president-elect
wherever he goes in pub
lic. No one will be permitted to pass
thru this "wall." State Journal.
WATER RATES ARE SLASHED
Grand Island. Drastic cuts, giv
ing small consumers a total saving
of $30,000 a year, were effected in
light and water rates by the city
council. Commissioner C. W. Bur-
dick believes these cuts will give
Grand Island the lowest light and
water rate in the state.
The new schedule will be in effect
on March consumption, or the April
1 billing, while the water rate will
go into effect May 1.
The new light rate is .05 for the
first 50 K. W. hours instead of .06.
There is a cent reduction for the
second 50 K. W. hours also.
The minimum water rate was set
at $4 instead of $6. The saving to
consumers in this department is most
noticeable by comparison of the old
rates. The 10 percent discount for
all bills paid on or before the pre
scribed time limit3 still remains in
effect.
RITES FOR MICKEY KANE
Omaha. Following funeral serv
ices at St. Peter's church, the body
of Fred J. "Mickey" Kane, sports
promoter, was taken to Norfolk, his
former home, for burial Friday.
Boxers, wrestlers, business friend3,
city commissioners, sports followers
and admirers of Kane attended the
service here. Father Joseph A. Augh
ney of Emerson, lifelong friend of
Kane, celebrated Tequiem mass.
"He was a square shooter,' a clean
sportsman and' gentleman a credit
to the world of sport which we need
if we would have clean minds in
clean bodies," said Father Aughhey
as he stood before Kane's flag-draped
casket.
Kane was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Kane X Norfolk.
FLATTSMOUTH RTVMT , WEEKLY JOURNAL
Texas Company
Chief Points to
Difficulty Ahead
All Existing Fields Should Share
Equitably in World's Petro
leum Production.
New York. Should the oil indus
try fail in co-operative efforts to al
low all existing fields an opportunity
to supply an equitable portion of
market reauirements, "the conse
quences would be dissipation of all
the world's larger reserves of crude
oil and oilier assets of the industry
at tremendous cost to everyone con
earned," R. C. Holmes, president of
the Texas Company, said today.
Mr. Holmes, a member of the Am
erican Petroleum Institute executive
committee, approved the recently
adopted "principles" of the institute
upon which it hopes to base a co
operative effort to administer "mar
ket demand" statutes in oil producing
states.
Failure, said Mr. Holmes, inevit
ably would mean "that the lowest
cost production would bo produced
first. California, East and South
Texas, Northern South America, Per
sia and two or three other sections
could alone for a time, by opening
up the valves, supply nearly all the
world, making it virtually impos
sible for pumping fields or any of
the older fields to produce at all.
"The consequences," he continued,
"would be the dissipation of all the
world's larger reserves of crude oil
and the other assets of the industry
at a tremendous cost to everyone con
cerned. Are we, through failure or
the authorities to issue legal and fair
orders and apply same equally to all,
going to permit this to result?
"Our trouble today is not that al
lowable production in the United
States is in excess of the market de
mands, but that in the United States
there has been, and is production in
excess of the allowables and in excess
of the amounts reported to the bu
reau of mines and to the American
Petroleum Institute; and that foreign
production has not been sufficiently
restricted.
"It is estimated that at least 05
percent of the producers in the United
States are doing all in the way of
restriction that is necessary to bring
production' within consumption re
quirements. And it remains for tne
small outstanding minority to be in
fluenced or required to do its part."
CLUES EI POSTAL ROBBERY
Springfield, 111. A man and a
woman were held by federal officials
investigating a $211,000 postal rob
bery in Chicago Dec. 6. Three more
persons were sought. William Gol
den, alias Walter Gimbal, alias Wil
liam Grossman, of Chicago, was tak
en into custody Saturday after he
attempted to sell a $1,000 bond to a
local brokerage house for 5 SO.
Jean Stenger, who said she was
from Oklahoma, was also held after
3he was found in an automobile wait
ing for Golden.
An investigation revealed that the
bond Goldsn tried to sell had been
stolen in the daylight robbery in
Chicago's financial district. Five
gunmen took a sack of mail from Fred
Voelsch, registered mail carrier, and
his guard, who were making the first
morning delivery to the First Na
tional bank.
All railroad stations 'and highways
out of Springfield vcre guarded, but
postal official.! refused to givo out
information concerning other persons
being sought. J. A. Thompson, local
postal inspector, would say only that
"there might be half a dozen people
involved."
DISTRICT ATTORNEY CALLED
Oklahoma City. United States
District Attorney Hyde will be sum
moned before the senate oil investi
gating . committee- to tell about re
cording on a dictaphone a reported
conversation between two witnesses,
it was announced. Hyde will be ask
ed, Senator Nanco said, to produce
records made by federal operatives
of the alleged three cornered con
versation between Raymond C. Walk
er, Mark Kleiden, and Robert Gal
breath, Jr., son of Oklahoma's first
oil millionaire. These three have
been involved in a sensational story
of huge traffic in illegal crudo oil
under the noses of Governor Mur
ray's militia, headed by his cousin,
Cicero I. Murray.
Hyde revealed Kleiden , was acting
as a government and state witness
when he carried on his conversation
with Walker. "He performed his Job
well," Hyde said. "The district at
torney ha3 co-operated and been
helpful in the investigation and we
believe his testimony will be valu
able," Nance 'said.
FIND GRAVE OF A PIONEER
Scottsbluff, Neb. William D.
Clary, early day pioneer, was buried
with his boots on when he died while
headed west with a party of immi
grants over the old Oregon trail. The
spot that marks his grave was dis
covered recently four miles east of
Torrington, Wyo.
A limestone marker bears in plain,
well-carved letters the following in
scription: "William D. Clary, June
21, 1850." The letters are still even
and legible despite many years of ex
posure. The party with Clary ignored
much sandstone nearby and evident
ly journeyed some distance to secure
limestone for the grave marker.
Torrington business men are plan
ning to erect an archway over the
grave this summer a3 a more effective
marker and to afford protection to
the burial spot.

Washington. By an astonishing

aside as the senate rushed toward
its historic vota after thirteen years
of prohibition.
In the house Speaker Garner prom
ised action on Monday under suspen
sion of the rules. He forecast ap
proval of the legislation, which dif
fers only on the point of protection
for dry states from that which "failed
by six votes in the house on the open

caucus to bind the party's members
to vote for the resolution was called
for Friday and both the speaker and
Representative Snell, the republican
loader, said the votes would be ready.
House Approval Assnred.
Snell has promised more than 10 0
republican votes and, if the demo
cratic caucus achieves its purpose,
rpproval is virtually assured. The
resolution would then go direct to
the states, the signature of President
Hoover not being necessary. The sur
prisingly big majority for the resolu
tion, sponsored by Senator Blaine
was announced by Vice President
Curtis in the midst of great con
fusion and it required five minutes
cf gavel pounding to restore order.
Scores of house members who had
listened to the debate filed out of the
chamber in amazement at the deci
sion, whilo hundreds of spectators
poured from the packed galleries. As
passed by the senate the proposal
is the same as drafted after an eight
ind a half hour session Wednesday
night and Garner said:
As per
fectcd by the senate Wednesday

ment for the convention method of

ACCUSES ilEDALIE'S AIDES
Washington. After being thrown
into confusion by charges of Repre-
senativo Dicksteln of New York of
corruption in the office of United
States District Attorney Medalie of
the southern Now York district, the
house rules committee deferred action
cn his resolution calling for an In
vestigation. Dicksteln was told by
Chairman Pou that the rules com
mittee would not act on his resolu
tion until after the house judiciary
committee had considered his charges.
The New York democrat said "there
has been a racket going thru the
(forfeiture of bonds in prohibition
cases.
"The clerk of a federal court and
an assistant Medalie are doing a
smashing business," Dickstein said.
"They are working In collusion with
two bonding companies. The judge
orders bond3 of from $500 to $1,000
forfeited, and a day or so later, dum
my defendants are permitted to come
up and plead guiity and, are fined
$25. Not a dollar of the bond money
has gone Into the federal treasury.
Mr. Medalie i3 a perfectly honorable
man but this racket has been going
on under his nose," Dicksteln said.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 17. Governor
Bryan's bill for a two-year emer
gency moratorium on farm and home
foreclosures was rushed into the leg
islature today and given quick ac
tion into committee, only to strike
a legal snag late today.
Attorney General Paul Good told
judiciary committees of both house
and senate that introduction had not

law. He said a f-pecial message to the
legislature from the governor must
accompany such a bill.
To Be Re-cfFered Today.
The measure will be reintroduced
today, after a special message a read,

Senate to Ask '
for Inflation of
the Currency
Ccsniittee Urges Federal Issne of
Sloncj Eased on Real Es
tate Loans.
If the siaie senate rollows the
rfr),rirr.endation of its committee on
ascri'-.ulruro it will tell congress to
r,?nt. the currency by having fed
eral rnrreney issued on a basis of
farm loan. to be made to farmers,
,r.rf.. osr.era and loan associations
farmrx nnion at Omaha, said Peder
sn, or. e fit the senars who chara
ji.'ind the plan In committee. The
rfeviluTion, originally introduced by
Welch, was reported back to the sen
ate by the agricultural committee,
Neubauer, chairman, with several
amendments. It goe3 over one day
under the rules.
The committee struck out a dec
laration opposing the domestic al
lotment plan for farm relief, as it
was understood President-elect Roose
velt is in favor of this plan of farm
relief. Opposition to matching dol
lars by state or federal government
was stricken out, and the commit
tee amended by opposing only that
portion of the agricultural market
ing act creating the federal farm
board. It or.dorses -that part-of the
resolution calling upon congress to
witHdravr from the federal reserve
banks power to regulate the amount
and values of money in the United
States. As the federal reserve bank
system is generally credited to Wil
son's administration, many demo
crats in the state senate do not care
to go on record against It.
The currency inflation amend
ment attached to the resolution by
the committee reads:
"Resolved, That the federal gov- J
eminent issue mortgages on the ap
plication of all owners of farm,
ranches and home or to insurance
companies or savings and loan com
panies or bank or parties holding
mortgages against said lands,
ranches or farms to the amount of
50 per cent of the value to be based
on value as congress may determine
and appraisals to be made by a local
board of appraisers with federal in
spections. These mortgages are to
carry 2 percent Interest (which will
take care of carrying charges) plus
1 percent interest for amortization,
raid mortgages to retire themselves
in about thirty-five years. These
mortgages to be placed in a federal
vault and a monetary circulation In
form of government notes as the
demand may require to be given to
the home owner, the land owner, or
to be given to the Insurance com
panies, the building and loan com
panies, or banks for mortgages held
by them on these homes, ranches and
farms, and it shall be made impera
tive upon the secretary of the treas
ury to issue this monetary circula-
ion until such time as the business
condition of the country shall re-
urn to normal, and at that time the
secretary of the treasury shall cease
the issuance of the circulation, but
should the condition of the country
again become depressed it shall be-J
come imperative on the federal treasJ
ury to proceed at once to Issue addi-j
tional circulation until conditions are
again normal."
