oral days in the western part of the
state, being for a time at Wauneta,
where he called on his Bon, Will L.
Browne and enjoyed a very fine visit.
He was accompanied by his daughter,
Mrs. A. B. Stromer and husband and
their daughter, which made a party

which they spent there very pleas
antly. While Mr. Browne was away,
business at the elevator was looked

Schools Open, Ten Enrolled
The Wabash schools, with ten stu
dents and Miss Hulda Schlaphof as
the teacher, gathered on Monday of
last week to begin their annual work
in pursuit of knowledge. This is one
less than last year, when there were
eleven students. This will be offset
however, by the return to school of
one pupil who is now sick and un
able to be present the first week.

Eecalls Days of Activity Here
Bert Austin, who was born at Des
Moines, Iowa, where he spent his boy
hood days, coming to Cass county in
1870, to reside here continuously for
the past 05 years, recalls to mind the
day3 when Wabash was the leading
town of this part of the county and
had bright prospects of further ex
pansion. Then came the changing
times, and while he has seen the busi
ness slip away and many of the in
habitants move elsewhere, he has
continued on as a faithful resident of
the town, He came to Wabash, as re
lated above, in 1S70, but later re
sided in Murdock for a time, where
he was in business following the
founding of that town.
Despite the changing times, Bert
likes to recall the "good old days" of
the nineteenth century, when condi
tions were as good or better than
now, and people were able to make
a living for themselves even in the
hardest times, without having to re
sort to a dole or relief job. In those
days people raised and produced more

of the thingB they consumed and were
not so dependend on the complex sys
tem of distribution and modern luxur
ies that have been built up. While
everything was going good and there
was a continued credit expansion ev
erything seemed to work fine, but
when the break came and our credit
relations, on which the bulk of busi
ness was being done, broke down, the
exact opposite has been the case. Bert
prefers the simple life of the old days
as affording greatest security for the
man who earns his living by the sweat
of his brow.
Health Improving
William Langhorst, who has been
at Excelsior Springs, Mo., taking
treatment for his health, writes to
friend3 in Wabash that he is improv
ing and is well pleased with the place
and the people there "with whom he
has come in contact, all of whom are
very friendly and anxious to do every
thing possible for his comfort and
enjoyment. 1

PERHAPS HE WAS HUNGRY
Elair, Neb. An unidentified mo
torist, said by witnesses to have been
sane and scber, held a score of res
taurant loungers breathless here Fri
day night when he:
Ordered and ate six fried eggs and
al lthe trimmings, asking for more
bread and butter, potatoes and other
incidentals.
Then, he asked for a bowl of bread
and milk, repeating and eating this
order four times.
For dessert he had one-fourth of
a cherry pie covered ith a large
dipper of ice cream. This was fol
lowed by a double size portion of
malted milk and topped with a pint
of vanilla Ice cream. -iilj
Apparently still hungry, the stran
ger bought three candy bars and
drove off into the night.

New York. A detailed statistical
compilation showing how the new
company it proposed to create by con
solidating several western railroads
would compare with other systems
has been worked out by the commit
tee representing two issues of lTick
Island preferred stock.
Earnings per common share of the
new unified company, which would
be created by merging the Rock Is
land with the St. Louis-San Francisco
I the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, would
have averaged $3.74 for the 1925-34
period, the committee stated which
would compare with 53.96 per share
earned by the average of seven other
important lines. Book value per
share would be $55.33 after making
"substantial" provisions for reserves,
the committee's figures showed.
An analysis of the setup showed
the new company would have a cap
italization per mile of only 554,438
as against 5129,828 for the other
seven systems used as a comparison.
SOUTHERN VETERANS MARCH
Amarillo, Tex. Shouting their
rebel yells and waving faded gray
campaign hats vigorously in the ai.V
veterans of the confederacy brought
their forty-fifth annual reunion to an
end here with a grand parade. More
than 40,000 spectators saw remnants
of Gen. Robert E. Lee's dwindling
force march in ranks, many of them
perhaps for the last time.
The United States marine band and
six others in the long procession
blared forth the southland's beloved
"Dixie," and the old soldiers, despite
their age, responded with lusty yells
as they jerked their campaign hats
from their heads and waved. Six sur
vivors of Nathan Bedford Forrest's
famous cavalry rode their horses.
