Roy Stanley transacted business
in Lincoln last Wednesday. On his
return home he brought a load of
goods for the store here.
Mrs. John Cardwell, who has been
confined to her bed from illness, is
now showing some improvement and
last week was able to be up and
about the home.
Paul Murfin, ago 15. has dug the
well at the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Will Murfin, which has
gradually been failing, considerably
deeper and now has about an eight
foot water level, which is sufficient
for all needs. The young man has
kept industriously at the job until
he got it completed satisfactory, al
though he did wear calouses on his
hands. That is the kind of perse
verence that counts in life.
Getting Readj for Harvest
Many or the farmers are getting
ready for the harvest of their small
grain, which work will be under way
shortly. Ralph Dorr. George Spang
lei and Eldon Panska have bought
combines in the last week, buying
of an Elmwood dealer. Gus Wendt
bought two to handle his large acre
age, buying them at Murdock.
The combine, long a necessary
piece of farming equipment in the
western part of the state, has been
cut down in size to fit the needs of
smaller eastern Nebraska farms and
is rapidly replacing the old binder
and threshing method of harvesting.
Times change, and with them farm
ing conditions, as well. It is a long
hark back to the days of the cradle,
but probably the future years will
continue to bring changes and im
provements as revolutionary as to
day's combine compared to the har
vesting methods of 50 and 60 years
ago. or the binders of 30 and 40
years ago. drawn by horses.
Proved Soil Very Dry
Some of the boys got in a little
argument last week about the con
dition of the soil. John C. Browne
claimed it needed moisture badly,
while a number of others said there
was ample moisture in it to mature
the wheat crop.
To prove his point Mr. Browne
dug up some wheat, which he dis
played at the store. Since "Man con
vinced against his will is of the same
opinion still." the claimants of am
ple moisture said this didn't prove
anything, so Mr. Browne went forth
a second time and with a long tile
spade dug up a section of soil, with
the wheat roots impedded therein,
and brought that to town for the
boys to ponder over. He says the
earth was bone dry away down past
the wheat roots, and contends that
wheat cannot properly ripen under
this sort of condition.
Sunday School Picnic
Louis Schmidt and family took a
day off last Wednesday and went to
Murdock. where they enjoyed the
picnic held by the scholars of the
Sabbath schools of the three churches I
ol that vicinity the Murdock. the
Callahan and the Louisville Evan
gelical churches.
The combining of these three
Bible schools provided a large num
ber of people both young and older
to enjoy this gala day. There was
a program of sports and, of course,
plenty of good eats to make the day
complete or should we say "com
plEAT." One of the features was a ball
game between the Murdock and Cal
lahan churches. We did not learn
the score.

Frank Reese, Pioneer
Frank Reese, one of the oldest
residents of Wabash, now past 72,
was born in the east, but resided in
Missouri some 34 years, moving lat
er to Kansas where he continued to
farm some seven years before "coming
to the hustling town of Wabash 31
years ago. He has farmed, conducted
a dray line, worked for the railroad
and done numerous other kinds of
work, and is still spry enough to
do light work, being engaged as a
caretaker by the Missouri Pacific.
In discussing the lumber yard that
did a flourishing business here for
yea'rs, and for which he hauled a
great deal of lumber, Mr. Reese told
the writer that the lumber shed that
housed much of the stock was sold
to a farmer east of town when the
business was discontinued and torn
down, while the building that hous
ed the finish lumber and mill work
was moved to the Uauer estate, and
after numerous real estate transfers
has become the property of Herman
F. Sehweppe, who farms that land
in addition to his own home place on
highway No. 1.
Mr. Reese has lived a long, use
ful and active life, and is still young
enough to enjoy the companionship
of friends, young and old alike.

Government to
Frown on Plane
Sales to Japan
Secretary Hull Reveals Bombing of
Civilians in China One Reason
for Discouraging Sales.
WASHINGTON. June 11 (UP)
The United States government has
taken steps to discourage future sales
of American airplanes to Japanese
following the repeated bombing of
civilians in Canton, Secretary of
State Cordell Hull revealed today.
Hull said that during the past
few, days this government's disap
proval of export sales of American
planes which could be used for bomb
ing to areas where bombing are go
ing on has .een communicated to
manufacturers of American planes.
Hull's revelation was made in re
sponse to questions at his press con
ference. He did not name Japan
specifically but said the gorsrnment's
moral influence o'( b? use-1 to
discourage sales of American planes
capable of being used for bombing
purposes to areas where bombing of
civilian populations is now going on.
Asked whether this government
was considering any practical steps
in connection with the bombing of
civilian populations in Spain and
China repeatedly condemned by this
government Hull said the position
of this government is well known.
He said this government had put
out repeated public statements con
demning the bombing of civilian
populations.
Hull was asked whether he would
care to say whether during the past
few days he had made such a state
ment to American manufacturers of
bombing planes.
Hull replied that he had made
that statement in the past and will
be making it again in the future to
the American people and to manu
facturers. IDENTIFY DEAD WOMAIi

Wins Reversal
of Damage Suit
Nebraska City Attorney Suing for
$38,354 Has Case Sent to Doug
las County for Retrial.
LINCOLN, June 10 (UP) Lloyd
E. Peterson, Nebraska City attorney
today won a reversal from the su
preme court of his previous decision
in a $38,354 damage suit against the
Brinn-Jensen company of Omaha.
The high court remanded the case
to Douglas county district court for
retrial on the single issue of whether
John R. Porter, salesman for the
company was acting within the scope
of his employment at the time his
car collided with Porter's machine
on highway 75 near Nebraska City
on February 21, 1935.
Porter was killed in the crash and
Peterson and his companion, Varro
E. Tyler of Nebraska City were ser
iously injured.
Jurist Edward F. Carter held that
Porter was an employee as distinct
from an independent contractor and
that the question of whether he actu
ally was engaged in the company's
business was one for the jury to de
cide. "Where an employer expressly or
impliedly authorizes the use of an
automobile owned by an employee in
the pursuit of his duties, the em
ployer is liable to innocent third per
sons and injuries resulting from it
negligent use in the business of his
i employer," Justice Carter wrote.
The high court said there was no
evidence in the record that Porter
was engaged in his own pursuits.
STUDY EUROPEAN CROPS
WASHINGTON, June 11 (UP)
President Roosevelt todav asked the
agriculture and state departments to
ascertain the status of the European
wheat conditions in a study expected
to aid disposal of America's liue
1938 wheat crop.
Mr. Roosevelt ordered the study at
a conference with Secretary of Agri
culture Henry A. Wallace and As
sistant Secretary of State Francis B.
Sayre.
The conference followed the agri
culture department forecast indicate
ing an all time record American wheat
crop. Wallace said the study would
be directed at fact finding for the
present' and declined to indicate in
j what manner the information might
be used to meet the wheat surplus
situation. Recent reports have in
dicated that European grain harvest
will be substantially below normal
due to an extended spring drouth.
