Saw Tournament Games
A number of the citizens of Mur
dock who are interested in basket
ball and the other sports of the young
people, journeyed to Lncoln on last
Thursday to witness the opening
rounds of play in the Nebraska state
basketball tournament. They saw a
.number of good games and were well
repaid for their trip. The only Cass
county team participating in the b'g
state-wide meet, was Avcca, a Class
B entrant, who won their opening
game. Among those who went for

and looked after business), Frank
Melvin, Lacey and Eryan McDonald,
John Kruger, Floyd Hite and Mr.
and Mrs. Eddie Craig.
Things Locking Better
Y.Tiile we have been going through
a period of depression (and we only
speak of it as a bit of past history),
everyone is now viewing things with
a brighter aspect. John Ostbloom,
who has conducted a market in Mur
dock fcr some time, has added a stock
of groceries and since that time with
more goods to sell and also with a
picking up of conditions generally,
he says his business is increasing and
cash receipts have doubled. We are
pleased to see this and will be pleas
ed to know that others are showing
the sams proportionate gains.

Giant Reservoir

Urge That $85,000,000 to Be Spent
on Upper Missouri At
Tort Peck.
Washington, March 23. Construc
tion of an S4 million dollar upper
MJsc-niiri river reservoir with a ca
pacity nearly double that of Hoover
dam and assuring a nine-foot chan
nel from Yankton to the mouth is be
ing urged for inclusion in President
Roosevelt's unemployment relief pro
gram, it was iearneu nere iouay.
Conferences including former Gov
ernor Artnur weaver oi jieurut.u,
Rufus Lee of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce; Secretary of War Dern,
Senator Norris; General Lytle Brown,
chief of army engineers and others,
here the past three
days with a view to securing inclu
sion of the gigantic reservoir In the
relief to be asked of this session of
congress.
In luontana.
The proposad reservoir wculd be
located at Fort Peck, in eastern Mon
tana o nthe main stem of the Mis
souri a short distance above Milk
river. It would impound 17 million
acre feet of water, would have a
height of 230 feet and would have
concrete discharge tunnels and spill
ways.
Prononont3 cf the beginning of
immediate construction of the huge
reservoir stato that this would not
or.ly "prevent all future floods on the
Missouri" and contribute greatly to
a similar result on the Mississippi,
but that the Missouri would be given
the immensely profitable nine-foot
channel depth through virtually its
entire length.
It is regarded by these backers as
significant that the president in his
message to congress asking for per
mission to recruit a civilian army of
250 thousand unemployed left the
door open for just such a project as
this, although it was stated today on
behalf of Senator Norris that he did
not take up this project in his con
ference with the president yesterday.
Seek Early Approval.
It was anticipated others of those
to whom the Fort Peck reservoir has
been mentioned, however, will ask
Mr. Roosevelt's approval this week.
In addition to the flood control
and navigation features of this pro
ject, it i3 estimated in a confidential
brief handed to Secretary Dern thi3
week that a 400 thousand kilowatt
power plant having "a power value"
of $29,500,000 cculd be developed in
connection with the project.
Irrigation projects on which the
cvernment has already spent C5 mil
lion dollars would benefit from the
big reservoir, it is also held.
This reservoir at Fort Peck is un
derstood to be part of the Missouri
river system survey which has been
conducted for several years by arm7
engineers.
CAUTI0NS BARLEY GROWERS
Washington Farmers were warn
ed against uncontrolled enthusiasm
over the prospect of increased barley
consumption in the wake of Presi
dent Roosevelt's approval of the beer
ialist for the department of agricul
ture, said that even if the country
used as much barley for malting out
of the 1933 crop as it did cut of the
1917 crop, when beer was legal, the
amount absorbed would bo les3 than
a quarter of the annual production
of the crop.
Farmers have bombarded the de
partment with inquiries. Many of
them hoped to transfer energies now
devoted to surplus crops to the grow
ing of barley. Dr. Harlan warned
against this, pointing out that only
limited sections of the United States
have an opportunity to grow malting
barley successfully.
Prohibition failed to stop barley
production. The 1932 crops of 300
million bushels was much greater
than in 1917. Most of it is grown
for feed. In 1917 the crop totaled
211 million bushels, about 72 mil
lion bushels of which was used for
malting.

-Ee-
lleans cf Bond Issue
verses Policy.
Washington, March 24. President
Roosevelt is prepared to authorize di
rect federal grants to states and
municipalities if necessary to pre
vent human starvation.
Determined also to balance the
lopsided government budget, he is
going to ask relief funds for the crisis
through a bond issue to be paid over
a period of years.
The president believes that, if fed
eral money is required to meet hu
man relief, it might as well be given
as a direct grant rather than a loan,
feeling it wculd be impossible for
the states or cities to repay sucb
loans.
This is a flat reversal of the Hoo
ver policy. The direct relief proposal
will go forward to ccngres3 shortly.
It i3 understood there are sufficient
funds available in the Reconstruction
Finance corporation to meet relief
needs until May. j
Faces a Barrier.
As for balancing the budget, the
busy Mr. Roosevelt is giving careful
attention to that problem now, and
is confident of making normal, regu
lar expenditures of the government
coran within the total of receipts. He
not only wants to pay for regular
government cost3 but to have some
additional for retirement of the pub
lic debt.
He does not regard emergency ap
propriations to meet starvation needs
in the economic crii-i3 as within the
scope cf normal, regular government
expenditures. He believes it justified
to spread these ccts over into more
prosperous times.
To bring the government expen
ditures within the range of its in
come, the president faces a billion
dollar stumbling block. A heavy
whacic at existing costs is to ne tne
first move in eliminating this tre
mendous deficit.
Ponds Ccst Cuts.
Reorganization of the departments
on a wholesale scale is counted up
on to save about 100 million dollars.
Reduction of salaries is looked to for
another 120 million dollars. A trim
ming down in veterans' allowances
is expected to yield a minimum sav
ing of 2S0 million dollars and pos
sibly as much as 400 million dollars.
It is probable the new government
salary scale will go into effect on the
first cf April. Cuts up to 15 per
cent are allowed under the recent
economy bill.
Veterans' representatives will be
heard before the new rates fcr com
pensation are fixed and it may be a
month or two before these go into ef

POOL FOR THE PRESIDENT
Washington. The white house is
to have a swimming pool coon, but
the money won't come fro mthe treas
ury. A movement started by a news
paper of New York and joined by
thirty-one other papers has already
raised more than enough to construct
a cement tank approximately 20 by
40 feet where President Roosevelt
can take hi3 exercise. The news
papers began the campaign without
the chief executive's knowledge, but
he 13 inclined to accept the fund for
several reasons. One is that hs does
not want to take any money from
the depleted treasury. Another Is
that he feels a declination would
corns as a rebuff to those, many oS
them school children who have con
tributed ' generously to the fund
Then, too, the president since he
took office has keenly missed the
form of exercise best suited to him.
The pool now planned will cost about
10,000, which is all, that will-ba
accepted from the fund already
raised.

which was on at that time.
While working about the farm a
short distance north of town, E. D
Friend had the misfortune to sustain
a fall and as a result his right arm
was badly injured. He has not been
so he could work during the great
er portion of last week. During the
time he was laid up, his brother,
James Friend went out and looked
after the chores at the farm.
Election IText Week
Do not forget that the town and
school elections will occur on Tues
day of next week, April 4th. As all
the candidates are excellent men no
cne should find it difficult to select
good officials to Jcok after the in
terests of the town and the schools.
Thn nominees for members of the
town board are R. M. Coatman, C.
F. Rosenow, u alter Vincent and
John I!. Skinner.
Those who are nominees of the re
cent caucus for members of the
board of education are Daniel Reu-
ter, Elmer West, John Woods and P.
R. Elliott.
In both cases the voters will be
called upon to elect two.
Settled Their Differences
Relative to the article In the Alvo
department last week touching on
the differenced which John D. Fore
man, cf Lincoln, and his brother,
Gecrge Foreman, of Alvo, had over
pasturage for a couple of horses, the
report published was to the effect
that the sheriff and deputy had gone
to Lincoln for John D. Foreman,
Whereas, so Mr. Foreman writes,
they only telephoned him, and with
ha3 attorney they went to Platts
mouth, where also George Foreman
was called by phone, and there the
matter was settled.
Roads Far from Good
This, was experienced by the writ
er, for he found some almost im
passable and some better but not any
too good. Being warned by friends
not to try to negotiate the road that
leads east out of Alvo, last Thursday,
we went via Eagle and found the
going fair. Ted McCartnet had the
misfortune to get his car mired in
the soft mud and was stuck for a
time, leaving his car for the night.
The county tractor got the car out
the next morning.
Bid an Excellent Easiness
Simon Rehmeier was a business
visiter in Omaha on last Monday
and while there was settling fcr the
campaign of buying ear corn for the
Miller Cereal Kills of that place. The
company had cribs built in which to
store the corn purchased here.
A check-up of the corn purchased
at different points shows that Mr.
Rehmeier bought the greatest amount
by some 5,000 bushels, as he took in
something over 40,000, while the
next Nearest got but 35,000.
The buying of this corn in small
amounts, while it entailed a great
deal of work, enabled farmers to sell
a small part of their crop and secure
necessary cash, while they could hold
back the rest for higher prices.
The entire amount purchased will
be used by the Omaha concern In the
manufacture of breakfast food prep
arations, etc.
And with the price now going up
quite rapidly it looks like they used
good judgment in securing a surplus
supply, even though it has cost them
a considerable sum to provide cribs
and handle the grain.
Nearly Missed Breakfast
Just as the ham and eggs and oth
er delicious viands were steaming
and the coffee pot was sending forth
its delightful aroma that called the
family to gather around the break
fast table for the morning meal, the
chimney at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Orest Cook concluded to burn out.
Al0
Although the appetites were whetted
up keen, the morning meal bad to
be deferred as there was danger of
the destruction of another home by
fire.
The alarm was given and neigh
bors were there in record breaking
time, as well as the Alvo Fire de
partment, which Is a most efficient
fire fighting organization. However,
after the eoot had burned from the
chimney all was peace and quiet and
breakfast could be eaten after the
short delay. It was different with
those who had come without lacing
their shoes, for they had to go. back
heme for breakfast. Art Dinges
claims he had been up for half an
hour before the alarm was sounded
and had his shoes laced up and tied.
Wei. Stewart Iluch Better
The many friends of William
Stewart, who was stricken a few
weeks ago as he arose in the morn
ing, are pleased to know that this
gentleman is making good progress,
and is able to hear what his friends
say to him, although he cannot as
yet talk. It is hoped he will soon
be in his former good health.
Accepts Creamery Ag-ency
C. W. Jewell, the caterer, who con
ducts the cafe, has accepted the
agency cf the Borden Creamery
Creamery company, of Omaha, ha3
partitioned off a portion of his room
at the cafe and provided a room for
the testing cf cream, and it seems
that the new agency, which makes
the third for thi3 city, will afford all
who sell cream an opportunity to be
rather discriminating on the delivery
of their cream.
Entertains Class Mates
Miss Dorothy Greer, daughter of
Henry Creer, who is a student at the
schools of Alvo, entertained la3t Fri
day night at the home of her father,
northwest of town, where the mem
bers of the class enjoyed a most
pleasant evening.
Enjoyed the Afternoon
The ladies of the city of Alvo were
guests at the home of Mrs. Soren
Petersen on last Thursday, at which
time they enjoyed a most pleasant so
cial afternoon, as with nimble fingers
they worked at their tasks and chat
ted. Lunch was served before the
time came for departure.
Prices Advancing Here
Corn, which has sold as low as 11
cents here, is now quoted as -being
ver 17, which is a very good ad
vance for the term and it looks like
there might be further upturn in
this cereal as the weeks go by. This
Is surely needed, as the product, like
all other farm produce, has been sell
ing away below cost of production.
Get the farmer back on his feet
and the whole country will enjoy
prosperity.
ARTICLE IN ERROR
In the Alvo items appearing Mon
day in the Journal an article appear
ed covering an alleged dispute be
tween George Foreman of that place
and his brother, John D. Foreman
of Lincoln. Mr. John Foreman was
not arrested by Sheriff Sylvester or
Deputy Sheriff Lancaster and came
here of his own accord to attend the
hearing of a complaint that had been
filed by the brother. In the hearing
on the matter the complaint was dis
missed. There was no question raised
as to the ownership of the horses
which Mr. Foreman had come to Alvo
to secure and take to Lincoln.
We make this correction that no
injustice might be done to either of
the parties in the action.
CAN'T IDENTIFY ATTACSES
McCook, Neb. Mrs. Mary Brom
ley, who was slashed by a strange
man Thursday night, failed to iden
tify Ed Taylor. 31, of Evansville,
Ind., as her attacker.
Without a word, after she discov
ered him "at the rear of the Monte
Cristo roms, Mrs. Bromley's assail
ant slashed her across the throat and
fled. Mrs. Bromley recovered from a
faint a few minutes later and told
officers she caught only a glimpse of
a "tall man with very white eyes."
A car which Taylor said he stole
at Billings, Mont., overturned witn
him near Bartley'' the same night,
and Taylor was terribly burned over
the face and hands. Hiding out all
day Friday in thickets and corn fields
to elude persons who were hunting
him for the theft of a.Bartley car,
which he abandoned in the mud, he
stole another car Saturday morning
and left Hartley ' with a posse after
him.

Washington. With smiles, the
Roosevelt administration formally
authorized sale of beer. The bill
legalizing both the amber brew and
wine of 2.2 r:ercent nlooholia con-
tent becama law with the signature
'of President RoosevPlt at 2 n. m.
"And I nope you got the smile at
the end," ho remarked to photo
graphers who recorded tho signing in
the cabinet room at tho white house
executive office. Wearing a broad
grin himself an hour earlier. Vice
President Garner had affixed his sig
nature to the legislation to send it
from congress to the white house.
Fifteen days hence or after mid
night on April 6 the beer may be
sold in the fourteen states permitting
it. The midnight hour applies to the
eastern timo belt. Sales may begin
at 9 o'clock that night on the Paci
fic coast, for instance. But the pro
hibitionists were already at work on
plans to halt the beer flow by court
ration. Some were considering reck
ing an injunction. Others were pre
paring to speed the case to the su
preme court for a ruling whether it
violated the constitutional mandate
against salo cf intoxicating bever
ages. ;
Federal officers charged with ad
ministration of the new law were
just as busy to make sure of the
enforcement. They ruled that the
new beverage must be kept within
the breweries or on the premises un
til the midnight hour ha3 struck on
April 6. Trucks may then go their
way and early morning celebrations
will be legal so far as the federal
government is concerned.
Enactment Is Simple.
The act authorizing besr became
a law in a scene as simple as it was
brief. Informed that the enrolled
measure was at the white house.
President Roosevelt walked across
the hall from his office to the cab
inet room where moving picture
photographers had set up their ma
chines. Stephen T. Early, a secre
tary, handed the bill to the president,
who was seated at his regular place
at the head of the long narrow table.
With pen in hand, Mr. Roosevelt
scanned the six pages, then folded
over tne last one ana reacneu ior
the ink.
He used four pens in completin
his signature. He directed that these
be given to the American Federation
of Labor and the American Legion
which organization had advocatea
the legislation; to Representative
Cullen of New York, author of the
bill; and to Senator Harrison, who
as chairman of the finance commit
tee guided the measure thru the sen
ate.
Expect Millions Revenue.
The usual formalities employed
by a president in sending new legis
lation to cabinet officers before sign
ing again was dispensed with by Mr.
Roosevelt. He is counting on about
125 millions annually in revenue
from the tax on the brew and wine
and he didn't lose a minute in mak
ing it law. A tax of five dollars on
each barrel of thirty-one gallons is
levied; also federal license fees of
$1,000 will be required annually from
each brewery; ?50 from each whole
salsr and $20 from every retailer.
The beer and wine may be sold in
the following fourteen states as soon
as legalized: Arizona, California, Illi
nois. Indiana, Kentucky. Missouri,
Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New
York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Wash
ington and Wisconsin
It may be old also in Connecti
cut, if an opinion expressed by Ken
neth Wynne, executive secretary to
Governor Cross, is followed. His
Judgment was that sale of the brew
would be legal despite the state en
forcement act still on the books, since
that act prohibits sale of liquor held
to be intoxicating by federal laws.
With tho legislation a law, the
president senate a note to Attorney
General Cummings asking a report
on the status or ieuerai prisoners
convicted of beer sale3 which would
now be legal. The move wa3 inter
preted as an andication of a presi
dential Intention to pardon or parole
these prisoners.
Edward B. Dun ford, attorney for
the Anti-Saloon league of America
announced immediately after the
signing that the constitutionality of
tho law would be challenged "when
the requisite circumstances arise."
Dr. Clarence True Wilson of tho
Methodist Episcopal board of tem
perance and public mora la previously
has asserted an injunction will be
sought to block any sale3. State
