Started Two Combines Harvesting season is now on in ear nest, as last Wednesday two combines were started in this vicinity, one en gaged in cutting rye, the other in cutting wheat. The cutting of the rye had to be abandoned as the grain wa-3 too soft and green, but the wheat did much better, although not producing as good results a3 desired. The height of the grain this year is such that too much straw has to be taken into the machine for it to work the best, and to correct this the width of the swath was reduced. The combine is ideal for western fields, where the grain never attains a verg great height and the proportion of grain to the amount of straw is much smaller. There are a large number who prefer the good old fashioned method of cutting their grain with a binder and later thresh ing it either from the shock cr stack. Missionary Society Met Wednesday The Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society of the Methodist church, of Alvo, met at the church on Wednesday of last week.

They took along plenty of lemonade and pop and a fine picnic supper that was relished and enjoyed by every member of the party. And, best of all, when they got ready to come home, they did not find them selves hemmed in by hundreds of cars and obliged to proceed at snail's pace for a long distance before they could really get started, as did many who went to the more attractively adver tised places to celebrate.

Four times in a row the house Wednesday voted smashing victories for the adminis tration on the Tennessee Valley bill. Every vital change backed by the White House was written into the measure in a sharp reversal cf the revolt which knocked holding com-1-any abolition out of the utilities bill. But a final vote was held over un til Thursday, as members wearied after a long siege on the floor. There was little doubt the measure would be returned to the senate In a form acceptable to President Roosevelt Pending as the house adjourned was one last attempt by republicans to obtain a reversal. Representative Andrews (It.), N. Y., made a motion to' send the bill back to the military committee under instructions to put back in some form the restricted pro visions opposed by the White House. POTATO CONTROL BILL Washington. By a 12 to 10 mar gin, the house, agriculture commit tee reported favorably the Warren potato control bill, but tailed to ask the rules committee for immediate consideration. .The proposal would classify potatoes as a basic commod ity and control production thru a system of sales allotments to com mercial growers. CLAIM SEALED CORN SOLD Norfolk, Neb. Leonard Clemens, Tilden, pleaded not guilty to a charge of violating the Nebraska warehousing act when arraigned be fore County Judge J. Q. Ingram, Ne ligh, and was bound over to the Ante lope county district court for trial. This is the first prosecution in the state under the warehousing law, It is said. Clemens Is alleged to have broken the seal on sealed corn and sold the grain. Payment of loans on 1934 and 1935 sealed corn was due July 1. and if not paid immediately the Commodity Credit corporation will take over the collateral as provided in the note agreement. It was an nounced Dy Vern B. Jones and J. A. Ilertell, corporation representatives. "The hearing in Tilden is a mile stone in the program to build up a good warehousing law," declared Hertell. Tram Company Springs to Its Own Defense Denies Breaking Faith With Gov ernor Cochran, Says Men Will Not Come Back to Work. Omaha. Deniel that it had brok en faith with Governor Cochran in the street car strike arbitration was contained in a statement issued by the Omaha and Council Bluffs street railway company. "The governor," read the state ment, "forced the company to cease operation until arbitration was agreed to. In the face of the great est pressure, the company agreed to arbitrate as to whether it would re employ men who had voluntarily quit their jobs, but absolutely refused to arbitrate seniority because It had promised its men who did not strike that they would succeed to the senior ity given up by the men who had voluntarily went cn strike, April 20. "The arbitration board ruled the strikers should be retured to work but they refused to. The company did everything possible to return the strikers to work. The strikers refused to return to Avork because they did not like tne rcsmts over seniority. "The company has complied with the June 20 award. The union, thru Ernest Bowerman (labor representa tive) has now repudiated the award and has refused to be bound by it al tho it was signed by Mr. Bowerman himself as well as the ether two arbi trators. Yet the governor says the company 'broke faith.' " Governor Cochran said his original statement charging the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway com pany had , broken faith with him in arbitration to settle Omaha's tram strike, "still stands." "The first statement is still good," he repeated "and more emphatically so. They se lected a representative for the arbi tration board and then refused to back him up. . It all amounts to the same thing." Must Revise Wheat Yield in the State Director W. B. Banning oi Agricul ture Department, Receives Un favorable Reports. Director Banning of the slate de partment of agriculture, upon re ceipts of a telephone report of wheat yield from Arlington said the yield in the eastern part of the state might have to be greatly revised by statisticians. Whether the western part of the state would show such a great shrinkage he said was uncer tain. Banning's report from Arllng ton was that wheat which was ex pected to yield thirty bushels to the acre yielded only five bushels, also that oats are poor, the heads drop ping off. A. E. Anderson who had issued a statement estimating the wheat crop in the state at 40 million, a shrinkage from a prospective 59 million bushels, said more damage was done by hot weather than by black rust in wheat, as the grain was green from weeks of rain and cool weather when hot weather set in and ripened it too quickly. Premature ripening, he said, would make the wheat shrivel and it would require more bushels to males a barrel of flour. This would give millers in states where a better quality is used an advantage over Nebraska millers.- If it takes tive bushels instead of four to make a barrel of flour the miller would have to pay $1.50 processing tax instead cf $1.20. Anderson has a sample of wheat from Alliance but he said he had not been able to estimate its yield. George Stites Named Head of Grain Dealers Well Known Union Man Selected to Head the Southeastern Nebraska Grain Dealers Association. George Sties, mayor of Union, who has for a number of years been en gaged in the operation of the ele vator at Union, was selected as the president of the Southeastern Ne braska Grain Dealers association. The meeting was held at the Memorial building at Nebraska City. Other officers elected were Guy Jones, Eagle, vice president; Carl Peterson, Lorton, secretary-treasurer, Robert Wilson, Nebraska City, and Thomas C. Buckridge of Brock were elected directors for a term of three years. The meeting was called to order shortly after 9 o'clock with represen tatives from Cass, Otoe, Nemaha, Richardson, Johnson and Lancaster counties in atendance. Beside the Ne braska members, there were grain men from Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo., and Lincoln as guests. Guy Mickle, chief inspector for the local grain exchange, was called up on and explained the method used in the grading and testing of grain, using scales to demonstrate his talk. He also explained the new regulations regarding moisture content and methods of standardizing these tests. Hugh Butler of the Butler-Welsh Grain company was present and told of a recent trip he made to the far south. He predicted there would be a wild scramble for good milling wheat this year and believed prices would be such that it would be profit able for the grain dealer. He spoke of hi3 trip south saying cotton grow ers who had been paid for not plant ing a cotton crop this 3ear were raising corn which would reflect on the market in this section. He also told of a recent trip to Canada at a time when the prospects for a bump er crop were excellent but said he had learned that black rust had re duced the estimated yield of wheat in that section. HAPSBURGS GIVEN A HOME Vienna. Austria again uecame the home of the Hapsburgs as the federal diet unanimously passed the cabinet's law revoking the royal family's ban ishment and restoring its vast confis cated properties. Only the signature of President Wilhelm Miklas who ironically enough, served in the Ren- ner cabinet of 1919 which pushed thru the banishment and confisca lion laws depriving the family of its home and heritage was needed to bring the legislation into effect. Sev eral members of the diet who joined in Wednesday's unanimous favorable vote also voted in 1919 to exile the deposed rulers and expropriate their properties. Austria's legislative gesture of "repentance" was staged quietly Parliament was half empty. There was no crowd of spectors either in the galleries or outside the building. The loge formerly reserved for members of the imperial family sat Duke Max Von Hohenberg, son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand whose as sassination at Sarajevo In 1914 touched off the world war, and Baron Friendrich Von Wiesener, Vienna representative of Archduke Otto, Hapsburg pretender to the throne. PLANT 200 MILLION TREES Washington. Approximately 200 million trees were planted this spring in the western shelterbelt covering 6.S00 acres, the forest service reveal ed Wednesday. Plantings were made in fifty counties splotched along the belt's 1,000 miles. Between 70 per cent and 90 percent of the trees have survived. As to ultimate success of the ven ture, the forest tf&rvice points to several thousand acres of national forest in Nebraska which was plant ed over thirty years ago, and is now stocked with game. Last season s planting exceeds area planted in the plains region during the entire pre ceding decade. Trees which were found adaptable thruout the area include Cottonwood, green ash, red cedar, hackberry, ponderosa pine and Chinese elm. Black locust trees with rapid spreading roots were preferred for areas of soil erosion. BLIND MAN ASKS AID Nebraska City.

P. to Back Bonus, Fish Declares 90 Per Cent of Memlera Will Sign Petitions Seeking New Vote, Says New Yorker. Washington, July 10.

He said: "Four of the seven Republi can members of the ways and means committer: which, handles bonus legislation already have signed, and I have assurances at least two of the other three will sign. "I see no reason why the pound of flesh is demanded alone of the veterans, or that the ad justed service laws must not be changed or modified. Believes It Fair. "As the oldest world war vet eran in pcint of service on the Republican side, I believe pay ment through my plan is feas ible now, that it is fair and the best step to take. "The certificates have to be paid in 10 years and as a re lief measure, in view of the fact that billions have been doled out in all directions and to var ious groups there is no valid reason to discriminate against the World war veterans."
