YOUNG PEOPLE AND COMMUNISM
While the propaganda of atheistic
Communism is much abroad, young
men and women are being trained at
The Moody Bible Institute of Chi
cago to combat error by an under
standing and right use of the word
of God. A new course is now offered
for the training of English speaking
Russian Christians, that they may
do evangelistic teaching and preach
ing among the Russian people of this
continent and Europe, in the hope
that a door to service in Russia will
eventually be opened. This course,
as also the general course and all
others, is provided without tuition
cost to all institute students.
The Bible ranks first in all insti
tute courses, but instruction is fur
nished in such subjects as Sunday
School Administration, Daily Vaca
tion Bible School, Gospel Music,
Public Speaking, Home Economics,
Hygiene, and Manual Training. In
special courses are offered Theology,
Homiletics, Church History, Apolo
getics, Hebrew, Yiddish, Greek, ard
medical subjects for foreign mission
work.
There are three terms a year fall,
winter and summer but students
may enter at any time. An illus
trated catalogue will be mailed on
request. Address, 153 Institute Place,
Chicago Avenue Station, Chicago, 111.
FAIL TO REACH OFFICIALS
Washington. Several hundred
delegates attending the second na
tional convention of the Workers Al
liance of America made an orderly
demonstration at the white house
during an unsuccessful attempt to
petition officials for an expansion of
WPA activities.
The alliance is an organization of
WPA workers, unemployed persons
and cotton share croppers. David
Lasser, of New York, national chair
man, headed the men and women
delegates who marched four abreast
in a long column extending two city
blocks.
At the gates of the white house
executive offices, Lasser and his aide3
wera told by the captain of the whita
house police that no executive offi
cials were present and that therefore
the delegation could not be received
officially. Lasser, who estimated SO0
persons were in the parade, said ap
proximately 200 delegates were
stranded here because of expenses
involved in attending the conven
tion. HONOR UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Omaha. A group of Omaha Boy
Scouts plan to conduct burial rites
Saturday afternoon in Hummel park
here for an unknown soldier, whose
remains were uncovered two weeks
ago by a WPA grading crew work
ing at the park.
The skeleton, encased In a hard
made walnut casket draped with flags,
will be placed with ceremonial hon
ors in a grave overlooking the Mis
souri river. The wooded spot was
set aside by the city park department
with the hope it will become a per
petual shrine for scouts.
Dr. Robert F. Gilder, Omaha
arcneologist, identified the skeleton
as that of a war veteran of pioneer
day3 from a military service button
found among the bones. It at first
was thought to be that of an Indian

Crop Variety
Tests Planned
by Farmers
Seek Improved Varieties of Small
Grains, Alfalfa, Corn and
Sorghum.
The most ambitious co-operative
crop variety test program in the his
tory of Nebraska was announced for
1936 from the college of agriculture.
Scores of farmers in all sections of
the state will co-operate with the
agronomy department in securing
data on improved small grain va
rieties, alfalfa, corn and sorghums.
P. II. Stewart, extension agron
omist at the college, made public a
partial list of the co-operative tests.
The undertaking, he said, will pro
vide valuable information on the var
ious crops in all sections. The in
creased activity in such tests for
1936 is due to requests on the part
of farmers for such work. They had
previously asked for tests in 193 6 on
a large scale, indicating their inter
est in improved varieties.
Only the oats and barley tests were
announced, plans for the other crop
tests to be completed and announced
later. A total of 22 Nebraska coun
ties are co-operating in the oat tests:
Case;, Saunders, Colfax, Knox, Madi
son, Nance, Hamilton, Adams, Kear
ney, Harlan, Frontier, Thayer, Chey
enne, Scottsblurr, Morrill, aox isuite,
Sheridan, Garden, Dixon, Hayes,
Sarpy, Phelps.
Eight varieties are now being seed
ed in the co-operative tests on forms:
Nebraska 21, IogoTd, Burt 520, Burt
529, Brunker, Burt 2491, Kanota and
local lots. Previous tests have shown
that Nebraska's climate favors early
maturing varieties of oats. Early j
types such as Kherson, Burt, Texas
Red and selections from these on the
average yield about 15 percent more
than the late types such as Swedish
Select, Green Russian and Banner.
Iogold, very resistant to rust, has
been the highest yielding variety in
past years with Nebraska 21 stand
ing second.
Farmers in 21 counties are also
o-operating in the barley tests which
will soon be planted: Nemaha, John
son, Saunders, Madison, Nance, How
ard, Kearney, Frontier, Lincoln,
Garden, Cheyenne, Morrill, Dawes,
Sheridan, Knox, Burt, Cuming, Clay,
Hayes, Perkins, Hamilton.
Varieties to be planted In these
tests include Short Comfort, Trebi,
Wisconsin 38, Spartan, Velvet, Club
Mariout, Ezond and local lots. Con
siderable Interest revolves around the
tests" since there is an increasing in
terest in barley production in Ne
braska. Acreage, due largely to the
introduction of improved strains, has
increased rapidly since 1925. Trebi
retains the lead in yield per acre
among all varieties tested over a
period of years and is well adapted to
all parts of the state. Glabron and
Spartan are inclined to shatter some
if allowed to get too ripe before har
vest. Velvet is in demand for malt
ing. LANDON SUPPORTER WINS
St. Paul. Sentiment for Governor
Landon as the' republican party's
presidential candidate predominated
at seven district conventions which
named 14 uninstructed delegates to
the national G. O. P. conclave at
Cleveland in June.
Landon .supporters succeeded in
electing two delegates from each of
three districts friendly to the Kan
sas governor's presidential aspir
ations as his party's standard bearer
in the 1936 political campaign.
Advocates of Col Frank Knox's
candidacy saw two delegates favor
ing his nomination, selected in the
seventh district, while the ninth dis
trict named representatives friendly
to both Landon and Knox. In each
instance, however, delegates were un
instructed. GUILTY OF MURDER
Los Angeles. Mrs Grace DuBois,
60, was convicted of murder on the
state's charge that she slew her son
to terminate the family line because
the men were "to gentle" to cope
with economic conditions. The Jury
recommended life Imprisonment for
the inoffensive appearing widow
jwno denied tne Killing.
Roosevelt
Appears as a
Tote Getter'
Wisconsin Poll Favors President;
Borah Wins Party Fight;
Koan Re-elected.
Milwaukee, Wis., April 8. In an
election in which the La Follette
progressive party was the big ques
tion mark, President Roosevelt to
day emerged as the big vote getter.
His presidential preference vote in
yesterday's election, on the basis of
incomplete returns, was expected to
mount to 350 thousand about 180
thousand greater than the preference
vote for Senator William E. Borah,
who succeeded in winning the large
majority of Wisconsin's delegation to
the republican national convention.
With all but four hundred of the
state's 2,918 precincts reported
Roosevelt topped the highest of 24
delegates elected to support him at
Philadelphia by 130 thousand votes.
Borah ran ahead of his ticket by
more than 40 thousand.
Borah Ahead.
In these figures was believed the
answer to the question of how pro
gressive voters, lacking advice from
party leadership, cast their ballots.
The returns showed great numbers
of voters were interested only in the
preferential votes for Roosevelt and
Borah and did not bother to mark
ballots for candidates pledged to
them. The presidential vote was only
advisory.
Wisconsin law requires no advance
registration by parties for either the
delegate or preferential primary elec
tions. The democratic ballot listed
the names of President Roosevelt and
the delegate at large candidates and
candidates for the particular con
gressional district below. The re
publican ballot carried only the
names of Borah and the candidates
at large and by districts on the Borah
and unpledged slates. '
Voters could mark either the dem
ocratic or republican ballot add were;
required to return the unmarked.
Available returns showed Borah
forces winning all four of the dele
gates at large and all but three of
the 20 congressional district seats.
In each of three districts the vote
was split between one Borah man and
one of the uninstructed slate backed
by the state republican committee.
Landon Defeated.
In a statement at Chicago Sena
tor Borah predicted that Illinois on
April 14 will go as Wisconsin did "if
we can have an untrammeled expres
sion of the people."
In the Seventh Congressional dis
trict, where the strength of Governor
Alf Landon of Kansas was put to
its only test, two Landon pledged
candidates were trailing Borah and
uninstructed candidates with half the
355 precincts reported. The leading
Landon candidate was 2,040 votes be
hind the leading Borah man and 851
votes behind the leading uninstruct
ed candidate.
Mayor Daniel W. Hoan, after the
most spirited race of his long poli
tical career, staved off the challenge
of Sheriff Joseph W. Shinners, back
ed by republicans and democrats, but
he faced the prospect of a four-year
tenure without veto power over the
city council. .
HOLDS 2 YOUTHS FOR MURDER
Huntsville, Ark. Two youth were
jailed here accused of the "whisky
slaying" of a 6 year old boy. Sheriff
Virgil Weathers named the prisoners
as Russell Beavers, 19, and Dennis
Davidson, 17, both of Newton county,
and said they were arrested on com
plaint of Inman Estep of Kingman,
father of the dead boy. Sheriff
Weathers quoted Estep as saying his
son died a few hours after telling
his parents he had been lured from
the Estep home and forced to drink
about a half pint of moonshine
whisky. The youths denied guilt and
will be given a preliminary hearing
Friday.
DENIES DIRIGIBLE TROUBLE
Berlin. Capt. Hans von Schiller
of the new zeppelin Hindenburg, re
turning from its first flight to South
America, denied by wireless reports
of engine trouble.

Comoensation
JL
Rates to Employ
ers are Lower
Cost of Basic Premiums Will Be Cut
June 30 in Most Industries;
Vary Widely.
The Nebraska compensation court
was informed Wednesday of substan
tial reductions in the basic premium
rates on workmen's compensation in-
urance for most classifications in Ne
braska. Big reductions were made in
street, road and power line building,
and power company and beet sugar
industries.
The changes, effective June 30,
vary widely on different types of em
ployes. On packing house employes
and in a few other industries the
rates are higher, and in some cases
there will be no change.
The rate alteration was announced
by the national council for compen
sation insurance. The cause for the
changes was not given, but the legis
lature which created the court last
year was told the new setup would
tend to bring Nebraska rates down.
Nebraska rates generally are higher
than those of neighboring states.

SUGAR, TOO HIGH, MOVES
Omaha. Morris Fox, president and
treasurer of the F. & F. laboratories
of Omaha, manufacturers of cough
drops, said the company's plant
would be moved to Chicago next
month. Fox said the move to Chicago
was being made because sugar, one of
the principal ingredients of the
cough drops, could be purchased
cheaper there than in Omaha. Fox
said he understood the differential In
the cost of sugar in Omaha and Chi
cago was due to a basing point sys
tem of marketing prevailing in the
sugar industry and thru which a
"phantom" freight charge is imposed
on consumers from base cities re
gardless of where the sugar origin
ates. AURORA MAN DIES OF HURT

Candling of
Eggs Urged by
State Officials
W. B. Banning, Head of Department
of Agriculture and Inspection
Sends Out Warning.
-The state department of agricul
ture and Inspection, of which W. B.
Banning, of Union, is the head, has
sent out notice that the law relative
to the candling of eggs i3 to be strict
ly enforced in the state.
The department In the following
communication to the dealers is
stating its position:
"Eggs are to be candled when sold.
For many years, there has been a
candling lav on our statutes, which
plainly states that when eggs are
bought or sold, they must be candled
and the candler must fill out a certi
ficate, giving the date, his name and
the.' company he represents; this
candling certificate to be placed in
the top of the case.
"Owing to the fact that some 5000
companies and individuals buy eggs
in the state, it has been a difficult
matter to enfoce this law. Many of
these egg buyers are store keepers,
who operate in a small way. They
receive eggs from the farmer and as
a rule, pay for them in groceries.
"This practice has led to the vio
lation of the law, due to the fact
that the grocer being busy will put
off candling, and many eggs reach"
the market uncandled. Such a prac
tice is detrimental to both producer
and consumer, because uncandled
eggs will depress the price. The mer
chant will buy at a low figure in or
der to play safe and be able to dis
card, if he is compelled to, such eggs
as are unfit for sale.
"All farmers who produce good
eggs, giving them proper care; col
lecting frequently; keeping them cool
and getting them to the market at
tho earliest possible moment should
be rewarded. A strict enforcement of I
the candling law will improve the
eggs of the state and with this, im
prove the price.
"A well attended meeting of the
poultry and egg industry was held in
Grand Island on March 31st. The
subject of egg candling was discussed
and it was universally agreed that
this law should be enforced.
"About 60 of the Nebraska eggs
are sold outside the state; going prin
cipally to the big cities of the east.
This means we are competing with
all the states of the union and the
quality of our product will largely
determine the demand and the
price."
CLOSE MAILS ON LOTTERIES
Washington. The Grand National
Treasure Hunt, inc., and the Associa
tion for Legalizing American Lot
teries, inc., both operated from New
York, Friday were barred from use of

utes." Issuance of a single "fraud
order" against the "treasure hunt"
and the association by Acting Post
master General Howes, effective im
mediately, was the first postoffice
ruling to result from a protracted
series of recent hearings on various
"contest" organizations. Early rul
ings were indicated at the postoffice
on the Golden Stakes Advertising
company, of which Alfred E. Smith,
Jr., is vice president and counsel, and
on the National Conference for
Legalizing Lotteries, inc., of which
Mrs. Oliver Harriman of New York,
is president. Mrs. Harriman's organ
ization was not charged with fraud,
but only with operating a lottery.
