Stars and Stripes Give Challenge
rne village of Greenwood was
attired in gala dress last Wednesday
mcrning, when the Stars and Stripes,
which were placed at Intervals along
the streets, challenged every citizen
to the fact that this was the day to
remember the soldier dead, who had
given their lives that the nation
might live. All very reverently paid
honor to the flags and to the nation
which they represent and especially
to those who risked their lives in its
defense and to those who had given
their lives, paying in full measure
for their devotion to the cause of hu
manity and to the American home.
Father Dies in East
Mrs. G. W. Holt, who has been con
fined to her home and bed for the
past six weeks, has known of the
very feeble condition of her father,
Mr. Geummel Brauer, of Peoria, 111.,
and during her illness has been hop
ing her health would improve so she
might be able to go and see the fath
er and minister to him in his sick
ness, but the father failed more rap
idly than the health of the daughter
improved, and passed away at his
home in Peoria on May 2Sth, being
slightly more than 75 years old.
Mr. Brauer was born in Germany
but had resided in America during
the greater part of his life, coming
to this country when a small boy. He
Jeaves only the daughter, Mrs. Holt,
who is greatly distressed because her
illness prevented her from going to
the father or attending the funeral,
which was held on last Thursday,
May 31st. Burial was at Peoria.
Moved to Springfield

and the rural mail carriers not re
quired to work, Verne Shepler took
advantage of the fact and moved his
household goods to Springfield, where
he goes to make his home in the fu
ture, having been transferred to that
place, and will carry the mail on the
Springfield route. The change was
made due to the fact that the two
routes out of Greenwood have been

Shepler without a route until he was
transferred to Springfield.

Kansas, was a business visitor in

Washington. Faced "by un
paralleled drouth conditions in the
north and central states, congression
al leaders and department officials
moved to provide further relief for
the stricken area. Developments in
the battle against nature's own "crop
reduction program" were:
1. Farm Administrator Davis de
nied the farm adjustment program
is threatening food shortage, and as
sured future food supplies of nation.
2. Allotment of $5,476,000 lor
drouth relief in Wisconsin, the Da
kotas, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mex
ico, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and
Minnesota by Federal Emergency Re
lief Administrator Hopkins.
3. Introduction of a bill by Rep.
Johnson (F. L., Minn.) to declare a
moratorium on interest payments on
farm mortgages in the drouth area.
and a resolution by Rep. Carpenter
(d., Neb.) calling for similar action
on government-held farm obligations.
4. Introduction of a resolution by
Carpenter authorizing appropriation
of 100 millions for purchase of seed,
fertilizer, feed for livestock and for
human needs in the drouth area.
5. Decision of the house members
from the affected area to carry their
appeal for aid directto President
Roosevelt.
House members from ten states
named Representatives Sinclair (r
N. D.), Hildebrandt (d., S. D.), Gil
lette (d., Iowa), and Carpenter to ar
range the white house appointment
as soon as the president returns from
New York next week.
They criticized what they termed
unnecessary delay in the relief and
agricultural departments in provid
ing aid. Rep. Hoidale (d., Minn.)
scored the PWA for spending too
much time on scientific surveys in
stead of taking immediate action to
conserve the dwindling water sup
ply of the stricken territory.
Carpenter seeks in his resolution
"a moratorium on all interest and
principal payments falling due on all
farm mortgages and all farm indebt
edness held by any agency of the
government for the period of one
year, in the area designated as drouth
area." It further declared "that no
foreclosures be made on farm prop
erty, rear or personal by reason of
the opeation of this resolution, and
that this resolution shall take effect
on its passage."
NEW REGULATION DEFINED
Washington. The trade commis
sion's authority to regulate the is
suance of new securities was shown
to include also the regulation lot
"when issued" trading. "When is
sued" trading means the sale of con
tracts for the purchase and sale of
securities before the securities them
selves are issued.
Baldwin B. Bane, chief of the com
mission's securities division, has in
formally advised the New York curb
and produce exchanges and the Chi
cago stock exchange that such sales
are illegal unless the securities rep
resented by tne wnen issued ' con
tracts are registered with the com
mission. Registration is prerequisite
to the sale of a new security under
the securities act, and Bane said in
his opinion when issued contracts
constituted securities.

United States Relinquishes Any Right
to Interfere in Its Affairs Sen
ate Ratifies New Treaty.
Washington. The United States
fully relinquished its right to inter
fere in the affairs of Cuba by senate
ratification of the new treaty of poli
tical relations with the island repub
lic. The pact, abrogating the much
denounced Piatt amendment, slid
thru the senate without opposition
and a minimum of debate.
"This treaty simply surrenders our
contractural relations with Cuba and
let3 us resort to international law,"
said Chairman Pittman of the for
eign relations committee.
"If I had my way," siid Senator
Fess, Ohio, "I would not interupt
our present relations. But he inter
posed no objection to ratification.
The Cuban ambassador. Marques
Sterling, sat in the diplomatic gal
lery thru the brief formalities, and
as soon as ratification hd become a
fact, he hurried to the press gallery
and thru an interpreter dictated the
following statement: "Cuba is high
ly gratified with the prompt ratifica
tion by the senate without opposi
tion. The treaty represents a new
bond that will more closely unite the
two countries. This is a real perma
nent treaty because it brings the
countries together in closer associa
tion."
Ratification by Cuba apparently
awaits the calling of a constitution
al convention there. For years the
island republic, and, for that matter,
all of Latin America, has agitated
for abolishment of the Piatt amend
ment. Under its articles, Cuba agreed to
enter, into no treaties impairing or
intending to impair. .her neutrality,
to assume o public debt beyond her
capacity to pay, and to maintain san
itary conditions thruout the island.
In case of any violatio of this agree
met the United States was given
specific authority to intervene.
Ambassador Sterling was accom
panied by two attaches of the em
bassy. Baffled by the swift proced
ure of the senate, the diplomat paus
ed on the threshold of the press gal
lery after the chair had announced
the treaty had been ratified, with
two-thirds of the senate concurring,
and. tapping a newspaperman on the
shoulder, asked: "What happened?"
He was amazed when informed the
pact had been approved.
STAVISKY TRIAL FINISHED
Paris. The famous Stavisky trial,
which for eight years lingered in
French courts as unfinished business,
came to an end with the conviction of
Sylvian Zweifel. Zweifel was an as
sociate sol Alex Stavisky", whose
manipulations are blamed for the col
lapse of the Bayonne pawnshop and
whose death in a villa near Switzer
land is set down officially as suicide.
The action disposed "of Friday be
gan in 1926 with a police raid on
Stavisky's villa at Mary-Le-Roi, a
suburb of Paris. The charges were
made nearly a million dolars had
disappeared from offices of numerous
brokers. Six men were indicted. The
case was postponed 26 times. All de
fendants but Zweifel have died, or
have vanished. Zweifel was sen
tenced to eight months in prison and
was fined 50 frans ($3.30).
