cow, or two hogs. Four sheep are a
unit, four goats a unit and 100
chickens a unit. If he has ten or less

Paris. France's huge exports ol
wheat which traders here credit with
weakening markets abroad are caus
ing such losses that the government
is contemplating heavily assessing
farmers, it was disclosed.
The exports an effort to ease the
glutted domestic market were re
ported to have totaled more than 8
million bushels in ten days, and were
sold at ten francs a bushel (approxi
mately 66 cents), one-third of the
fixed domestic price.
Inasmuch as the government reim
bursed exporters for the two-third
difference, cost of the plan during
the ten day period was some $14,
500.000. The government announced it is
planning to raise the tax on wheat
farmers from approximately one tc
three francs on each bushel of wheat
sold, in addition to lowering the
compulsory ratio of flour extraction
from 63 to CO percent.

j.
M. Power and W. II. Baxter
Both of St. Louis Speakers at
Regional Conference.
"The Red Cross," according to Re
lief Administrator Hopkins at the
national convention, "shall always
be the agent for relief regardless of
governmental plans and financial sup
port." Such was the statement ot
J. M. Power, manager's assistant. Red
Cross mid western branch office, St
Louis, Mo., speaking at the regional
conference at Lincoln Thursday.
About 100 chapter heads and cam
paigners were present.
"In Nebraska last year at th?
1924 roll call," he continued, "43,
000 names were on the list. This
represents a 3,000 increase over the
one for 1933. The Red Cross, dif
fering from almost every other
agency, is never affected by adverse
economic conditions because of the
difference in the setup. Even if the
people who were able to lend us sup
port one year are not available the
next, there is someone else who can
carry on if we extend the invitation.
Last year the Red Cross took an ac
tive part in 103 disasters and we can
expect an average of 100 disasters
every year." The entire organization
budget, branches of expenditure,
plans of action and neds were pre
sented in his address.
Reports of experience in the roll
call were given by R. II. Watson
Saunders county. "The Rural Roll
Call;" Mrs. Ann M. Morrison, Hall
county, "Securing Workers;" and
Mrs. A. II. Brooke, Adams conty
"Publicity."
At the luncheon, William M. Bax
ter, manager of the midwestern area,
St. Louis, was principal speaker.
"Red Cross responsibilities have in
creased over the past few years," he
said, "and last year the agency's
accident prevention work reached a
new high. The need for home train
ing in home hygiene doubles with
each year of the depression. It is
gratifying to the organization to note
7,000,000 school children listed on
the junior Red Cross rolls." At the
luncheon an address of welcome was
made by Mayor Fleming, the invo
cation delivered by Rev. Paul Cal
houn, and a pageant presented by
junior Red Cross members of the Lin
coln and Lasterter county chapter
The afternoon program wa3 a round
table discussion cf organization for
the 18th roll call which will start
Armistice day and run until Thanks
giving. Jess Pemberton acted as
chairman turnout the meeting.
EID2 FOR GRAIN ELEVATORS
Chicago. The Farmers National
Grain corporation proposed to Joseph
Eastman, federal co-ordinator ol
railways, to take over all railway
owned elevators in the nation's prin
cipal terminal markets, and operate
them under lease from the railway
companies.
The proposal, announced by C. E.
Huff, president of the Farmers Co
operative, was offered as a substitute
for recent recommendations of J. A.
Little, member of Eastman's staff
that railway elevator facilities be
pooled and turned over to a newly
formed corporation to operate on a
uniform basis for reasons of econ
omy. "Mr. Little proposes that the car
riers operate their own facilities thru
a separate organization in which op
erations would be pooled and 3oin
ed," Huff stated. "Such arrangement
would put the carriers into the busi
ness of commodity handling, which
is foreign to their purpose and not
in line with public Interest."
The leases proposed by the farm
ers corporation would insure to the
railroads an income equal to taxes,
depreciation, and a "fair return on
tioiind investment vales," Huff said.
with services of the leased elevators
available to the entire public.
The corporation. Huff said, already
has under control one-fourth of the
grain going thru terminal markets
and leases or owns elevators having
a total capacity of 36,000,000 bush
els.

p "gate?!
Moiiey Stuart, editor of the Cam
bridge (England) Daily News, in a
talk given before the Cambridge
Publicity Club, said:
"There have been some people
who thought that it might be pos
sible to produce a paper without ad
vertisements, but they could have
given little thought to the enormous
expense that attached to the produc
tion of a modern journal. Many
years ago a former editor of 'The
Spectator' write some articles in
favour of newspapers without adver
tisements, but they were not taken
seriously by those who understood
the position. Lord Northcliffc des
cribed them as 'preposterous' and
asked three pertinent questions:
Where are the printers' wages
coming from?
'Who is to pay the wholesale
and retail distributors?
- 'What about the price of
paper?'
"Referring to the history of news
paper advertising, what is believed
to be the first advertisement appear
ed in 16 49. It began:
'Reader, thou art entreated
to enquire after a blackish and
kind of piebald nag and
ended :
'Whoever will enquire, find
him out and make stay of him
and bring or send tidings of
him shall have what content
they will, or can desire for
their pains.'
"Advertising had not been with
out its humour, but it was distress
ing to read that what appeared to
be romantic effusions in the Agony
Column were often thieves' com
munications in the unravelling ol
which Scotland Yard was said to be
peculiarly cunning.
"There can be no question that a
very great improvement has taken
place in the lay-out of advertise
ments. It is only of recent years that
the real value of newspaper adver
tising has been properly appreciated
and I, for one. am glad that the pro
vincial press is coming into its own.
The near future will, I believe, see
big developments."
Smoking Ban
Up to Coeds at
State University
University ol .Nebraska Women's
Eoard Leaves Problem for
Sororities to Decide.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. S. The ban
on smoking in organized women's
houses at the University of Nebraska
was lifted today in the list of reg
ulations for women students issued
by the Associated Women Students'
board. Regulation will be left tc
the discretion of each house.
According to Marian Smith. Om
aha, A. W. S. president, the national
panhellenic lifted the ban last spring
and the Nebraska panhellenic con
curred. "We are just co-operating
with the panhellenic and it seemed
best that we drop the rule," Miss
Smith said.
Smoked Despite Ban.
Agitation for suspension of the
rule was started four years ago and
some sororities established smoking
rooms in spite of the ban. At other
houses girls piled out after each meal
to "catch a smoke" before class or
study table and used cars parked
around the sorority houses or curbs
for smoking rooms. These have now
disappeared.
Other rules that embody little
change are:
Other Rules.
Residence of men and women stu
dents in the same lodging house is
not permitted unless circumstances
are unusual.

receives them.
A rooming house for women stu
dents shall be provided with a re
ception room for student use which
is properly lighted and warmed. All
entrance ways shall be well lighted.
Other rules provide 10:30 hours
