CHiCUS AT MURRAY
Two of Murray's young American
citizens, Teddy Bakke and Dick Todd,
who are also little pals, finding time
hanging heavily on their hands since
the close of school, while scouting
around for something to do, hit upon
the idea of holding a circus. Accord
ingly, assisted by a number of their
little friends, the circus was given
on the Bakke lawn on Tuesday eve
ning, and they were greeted by a
large, enthusiastic audience. The ad
mission fee was a penny.
"Uncle Sam" led the parade, fol
lowed by the "band," clowns and
cages cf "wild" animals. The "band"
consisted of a number pieces and
played several selections. There were
tight rope walkers, acrobatic stunts,
a merry-go-round (the block) a tamejare vj3jDie
elephant, the tallest man in captivity,
the largest, as well as the smallest
horse in the world. Tiny, the tiniest
dog, and many wild animals from
the jungles of Africa. One tiger es
caped from his cage, causing much
excitement, but was later captured.
The customary pink lemonade and
sacks of popcorn were provided the
guests at the unusual price cf one
cent each. The proceeds from this
evening of fun were donated to the
Murray Public Library to be used
to purchase new books, and was
found to be $2.25.
These youngsters are to be com
mended for this act, for, while pro
viding a pleasant evening for them
selves, helped their friends to a good
social time, and by their generous
spirit, show, their willingness to do
good
Tney no uouot will lis near err
from, time and again, in the years
to come, for such live wires as these
two little lads have proven to be, are
an asset to any community.

Special Celebration Last Pony
Express Eider to Attend.
Fort Bridger, Wyo. The crumb
ling remains of old -Ft. Bridger,
named for the famous frontiersman
who founded it, will become an of
ficial Wyoming historical landmark
and museum at a celebration here
June 25.
Descendants of the Indian fighter
who built the fort as a private en
terprise in 1842 will attend, and Colo
rado, Utah, Montana and this state
will Eend delegations to th3 dedica
tion ceremonies.
Among surviving pioneers who will
return to participate in the celebra

Washington. Ia., who seventy-five
years ago was the last of the pony
express riders to gallop out of the old
fort with a pcuch of mail. He will
come from Iowa by airplane, mak

in his pony-riding days required five
days.
Another link between pioneer and

Jim Bridger staked his title to the
site of the fort on an old Mexican

Seen of Business
Increase Ahead
Summer Brings No Setbacks in For
ward March of Industries
1932 Levels Passed.
New York. The business revival,
which has been gathering momentum
since the early part of April, shows
no signs yet of wilting under the
summer's heat. Activity increased
last week and plans for summer shut
downs were in many cases abandon
ed. With the termination of the
tumult and shouting in Yashington
business began to examine anew the
administration's sweeping program
for recovery from the depression.
Particular attention was naturally
focused upon plans regarding the
national industrial recovery act, un
precedented in scope and intent.
Supported by its 3 billions public
works section, the new measure un
doubtedly represents the most far
reaching legislation ever enacted by
the American congress. More than
seventy-five industries anticipating
the final passage of the bill have al
ready completed the drafting of
codes of fair Icompetition, ',it was
learned last week, and many trade
associations have been reorganized
completely.
In the meantime the current busi
ness situation finds its greatest ele
ment of strength in the volume cf
forward orders which have been ac
cumulated by factories and mills,,
thus insuring wider employment and
a strengthening of consumer buying
power. Many cf the major industries
have passed their 1932 levels and the
1931 points seemed destined for a
rout. Steel production is now werl
above the June rate of 1931. The last
report of electric power output show
ed a gain of 7.4 percent over the
same week a year ago, the widest
comparative gain that has appeared
on the records since 1929. This was
the sixth consecutive week to show
an expanding improvement over the
same weeKs or tne previous year
Traffic handled by the railroads for
the week ended June 10 was the
heaviest this year, and the fifth con
secutive week to show a gain over a
year ago.
TRUSSED UP BY THE WRISTS
Chicago. Two robbers trussed the
manager of a fur store to a ceiling
rack with handcuffs and escaped with
furs valued at $7,000. The robbers
forced Perry Rose, manager of the
store, into a storage vault and there
made him extend his arms to a rack,
where they handcuffed him. For
nearly .an hour Rose hung handcuff
ed, his toes just touching the floor and
the weight of his body virtually
dangling by his wrists. Then po
lice freed him.
37 Mile Bridge
i S 11 7 la Bfi1AlZ' :" V" -i . W'CHIGAN
This map shows plan to build a bridge thirty-seven miles lorg, . from Seventy-third street,
Chicago, to a main thoroughfare of Michigan Citj, Indiana. The plan calls for the borrowing of
$200,000,000 from the Reconstruction Finance Cjrpcration for this and two other gigantic projects
electrification cf all Chicago railroads and reroatirg cf the Chicago River. The bridge would in
reality be a massive concrete barrier. An area ai the Chicago end and arjother at the Indiana end
would be filled in as indicated, the land to be sold to help pay the cost of construction. The con
crete barrier would form a new lake.
Consumers
Need Not Fear
Big Cost Rise
Secretary Wallace and Georee N.
Peek Predict Small Increase in
Cotton and Bread.
Washington. Secretary Wallace
and George N. Peek, chief admin
istrator of the farm act, said that
maximum processing taxes on wheat
and cotton required under acreage
reduction plans for the two crops
should result only in a small if any,
increase in the cost of bread and cot
ton goods to consumers. Wallace said
that bread costs, in many instances,
have been higher when wheat prices
were low than when the price of the
grain was high. The processing tax
of about 30 cents a bushel on wheat
at its most, he said, should not in
crease the price cf a loaf of bread
more than a half cent to a cent.
In the case of cotton, Wallace said,
the increase need not necessarily re-
flect at all the tax of about four(Eirt;d an(1 badly needed rain in this
cents a pound. He pointed out that
the spread between the price of the
raw material and the finished product
was such as to permit absorption of
most, if not all, of the tax.
Peek asserted that the acreage
control programs meant the adoption
by the government for agriculture of
a method of control which the indus
trialist long has used. "Rather than
produce more than the market could
absorb, the manufacturer often has
closed down his plant or else restrict
ed output," Peek said. "This is the
method now being proposed for farm
ers. If the plan works, the growers
will receive more money for less out
put. "Reasons for the program should
be kept constantly in mind. The most
important consideration is price. The
average price receivcH by farmers for
the 1919 cotton crop was 35 cents per
pound; in 1928 it was 18 cents. The
average for 1931 was less than 6
cents."
LOUISVILLE RANK CLOSED
From Tuesday's Dally
Official notice was received here
today by the clerk of the district
court, that the state department of
banking had closed the Bank of Com
merce of Louisville, the bank having
been inoperative since Saturday. The

the time of the closing, the notice
states. A delegation of some eighteen
of the business men and citizens
were at Lincoln Monday to try and
secure the re-opening of the bank but
received but little encouragement
from the state department. This eve
ning a meeting of the bank deposi
tors will be held at Louisville to dis
cuss the matter and to determine
what action if any can be taken.
This bank was established in 1S84
and was for many years operated by
Thomas E. Parmele, but in late years
has been in charge of R. H. Hastain
as president and R. R. Larson, former
Plattsmouth man, as the cashier.
MORE LIVES THAN A CAT
ashington. In jovial mood as
he signed the Glass-Steagall bank re
form bill. President Roosevelt told
Senator Glass his measure "has more
