Crop Reined by Hail
Albert Ku:itz, who has land in

a f w days ago was feeling good over
piosyects for a fine yield of wheat
a-, the harvest there comes later
l.rre. Just as the grain was about
ready to be cut, a severe rain and
ban storm came and beat the wheat
into the ground, entailing an almost
total loss, which is very disappoint
in:; to Mr. Kuntz. He received the
i.ows a few days ago in a letter
from out there.

Echo. All members of the party were
i: .'pressed wi-h the Montana ranch
c jutry, and would like to make
ti.eir home there. But their business
ij here and Mrs. Blessing also owns
a farm near Murdock, so they
v ould not think of leaving Elmwood
for a home in the west.
Will Restore Ancient Post Office
Considerable has been written in
f:rse columns of late about the de
molishing of the McCaig home, an
c id landmark in the community that
as erected in IS 66 and housed the
first post office in this vicinity. The
l ease was well built of logs and has
vithstocd tha elements for these
cany, many years, being still in a
S-od state cf preservation, but is
being torn down to make way for a
new house on the site it occupied.
As has been stated, the house was
built as a home for the McCaig fam
ily, consisting of Mrs. McCaig, a
widow, who came here from Indiana,
together with her four sons and two
dr. ughters. When it was built, the
Civil war was little more than over,
and the period of reconstruction had
ji st begun. The family continued to
i t ride there for many years, and
David McCaij, the eldest son, was
named as the first postmaster for
this vicinity, maintaining the post
office there. Later it was moved to
Elmwood. Later the property came
into the hands of the Bourke fam-
and farmed the land, which is owned
by Mr. Helmors, of Omaha. Now, Mr.
Lassie and Fred Weyers are tearing
down the old landmark.
The town of Elmwood has been
able to secure the logs and will re
construct the eld building on the lot
just east of the community building.
All of its rustic exterior appearance
will be retained, but is is probable
more comfortable rooms will be pro
vided therein and there is talk of
using them to house a public library
certainly a splendid use to which
to dedicate it.
It may be possible to complete the
reconstruction in time to dedicate
this ancient landmark at the time of
Fimwood's Jubilee celebration.
Rearranges Store
Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Bothwell have
been making a number of changes
in the interior arrangement of their
Clover Farm store, all designed to
j provide more room and effect a bet
ter display of the large stock they
cr rry.
Attend Celebration at Eagle
Emil Bornemeier and wife were
in Eagle la-st Tuesday evening to
attend the celebration being held in
that town. A number of cars that
had been stripped down for racing
purposes were also taken over from
here to parti 'ipate in the races that
proved among the most exciting fea
tures of the two day celebration.
POWER DISTRICTS AGREEABLE
OMAHA, Aug. 5 (UP) Talk of
Nebraska's "little TVA" was emphas
ized today following statements by
officials of hydro-electric groups yes
terday that the Loup River Public
Power District has not given up hopes
of purchasing Nebraska Power Co.
of Omaha.
President C. B. Fricke ot the Loup
district said emphatically the dis
trict will purchase NPC if arrange
ments can be made. He said there was
"objectionable feautres" to the pro
posal to instead sell current to Ne
braska Power and that the district
r.ow believes the thing to do is to
buy the company's holdings and "be
done with it."
The statement brought a sharp re
port from James E. Davidson, presi
dent of Nebraska Tower. "We have
said again and again and our people
in New York have said thai the com
pany is not for sale. I think the
public is getting sick of hearing the
same old storv."

Foreigners in
China Suffer from
Japanese Bombs
Churches and Hospitals Suffer From
the Attacks of the Japanese
War Planes.
By JOHN R. MORRIS
United Press Staff Correspondent
SHANGHAI, Aug. 5 (UP) Chin
ese dispatches asserted today that
Japanese troops at Yochow forced
American and British missionaries
to evacuate a church which they then
demolished.
The dispatches, of which there was
no official confirmation here, said
Japanese trccps and Chinese merc
enaries operating with them burned
clown a British mission hospital at
Tsinyang July 25.
Eighteen Japanese airplanes, bomb
ing Chungking, the Chinese emer
gency capital, in the fourth moon
light raid this week, damaged the
Belgian embassy and the home of an
American missionary and caused
bomb-shock to six Americans and five
other foreigners who were taking
shelter in the Belgian embassy air
raid dugout.
The Japanese bombed the city off
and on for 90 minutes, dispatches
said.
One 500-pound demolition bomb
caused the damage to the Belgian em
bassy and the missionary's home and
the shock to people in the embassy
dugout. The bomb struck near the em
bassy building, and broke windows
and knocked dew ceil ir. go.
Those in the dugout erc thrown
to the floor.
The missionary's home damaged
was that of C. B. Rape, of the Am
erican Methodist mission, a quarter
of a mile from the place where the
bomb struck. Plaster in the house
was knocked down.
The same bomb destroyed about 20
houses, crumbled four automobiles and
caved in a high wall under which
numerous Chinese had taken refuge.
Hearing shrieks of people buried in
the debris, Louis Desan, embassy
charge d affairs, and Marcel Renard,
an official of the Belgian foreign bank
left their dugout aind led Chinese
rescuers, personally digging many
victims from the wreckage.
Japanese dispatches said the Jap
anese counsel general had rejected a
British protest against an attack by
a mob on the British-owned interna
tional export company's property in
the former Russian concession at
Tientsin. The Japanese consul gener
al held that Japanese authorities had
no connection with anti-British act
ivities. The British consulate general, other
dispatches said, at once began draft
ing a new and stronger protest which
was expected to include also a later
attack on a branch office of the Brit
ish Butterfield-Swires company in the
former Russian concession. Japanese
army sentries patroled nearby dur
ing thi3 attack, it was asserted.
A dispatch of the Japanese Romei
news ' agency said that a "national''
anti-British mass meeting was being
organized at Tientsin for Aug. 14
as the climax to a two-day confer
ence of delegates of a "nation-wide
anti-British committee. '
The dispatch said that the dele
gates would (1) Discuss "the trans
lation of anti-British sentiment into
action"; (2) Investigate activities of
British subjects; (3) Denounce "pro
British" Chinese; (4) Take steps to
"centralize" the anti-British move
ment; (5) Discuss means of spread
ing anti-British sentiment abroad and
(6) Discuss means cf aiding Indian
independence.
Tientsin reported that the British
and French concessions, and adjacent
Japanese-occupied areas, were with
out beef because of a slaughter house
strike, reported to le due to Japan
ese monopolists having offered work
ers half their former wages. The
markets were short of vegetables and
other perishable foods also, h?cuuse of
floods.

West Nebraska
Wants a Larger
Wheat Area
Protest Allotments on Wheat Land
Will Not Allow Fanners to
Make a Living.
KIMBALL, Aug. 4 (UP) The
small wheat farmer "is being forc"d
out ot business because the acreage
allotment for the western section of
Nebraska is unfair," a group of Kim
ball county "small farmers" said
today in a petition protesting the
present agricultural conservation
program.
They charge the small town is
also vitally affected since the small
wheat farmer's acreage allotment has
been so reduced he cannot make i
living and is forced to leave the
farm to join the unemployed in large
cities.
It is no longer possible, it if
rtntedfi for a western Nebraska
farmer lo live on the returns
of a quarter section of land. One
farmer, who owns 160 acres, was al
loted forty-one acres last year and
this year has been cut to twenty
eight. "Western Nebraska should have n
larger acreage allotment because,
unMke the eastern part of the state,
it is a one-crop country. Let us
raise; commercial wheat, and fci
that an extensive acreage of this
dty land is needed, and let the
eaft raise corn and the other cropp
(besides wheat) for which their
land and climate is suited," was one
suggestion offered in solution of the
problem. Figures indicated there
was a larger wheat acreage in east
ern Nebraska since the advent ci
the conservation program than eer
before.

ward with little pleasure to making
another campaign."

ZEPHYR DERAILED
OMAHA, Aug 4 (UP) No one
was injured when the Burlington's
westbound Chicago & Denver stream
lined Zephyr train left the rails in
the Omaha yards here today. The de
railment occurred a block and a half
east of the station.
Three units of the train left the
rails and a delay of four hours was

the delay was due to the fact
that a baggage car containing the
train's air-conditioning equipment was
among the units leaving the track.

Japanese Weigh
Matter of Mill
tary Alliances
Military Groups in the Empire Lean
Toward Military Tisups With
Germany and Italy.
By II. O. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO, Aug. 4 (UP) Kokumin,
extreme nationalist newspaper which
enjoys a wide circulation among m.li
tary groups, gave guarded expression
today to the army demand that Japan
enter a military alliance with G?r-manj-
and Italy at encc.
Discussing the army's drive for
"enlarged" European connections, the
newspaper said:
"It is the army's view that although
great importance is attached to British-Japanese
negotiations, practical
measures to deal with the European
situation should not be hampered by
parleys, and materialization of Uu
ropean policy must be made adequate
ly and independently.
"Further, the army even has ex
pressed the view that adequate mater
ization of European policy would act
ually faciliate the British-Japanese
negotiations."
The editorial was taken as an
additional indication that the Japan
ese ambassadors to Germany and
Italy, in announcing that they had
met to discuss Japan's adherence to
the German-Italian military alliance
were acting, if on any authority at
all, in co-operation with military
authorities and not in behalf of the
government as a whole.
A breakdown of negotiations with
Britain undoubtedly would strength
en the position of those who want, an
alliance. For the present it was in
dicated that the government had not
changed its previous attitude of aloof
ness as regards a formal military
alliance, though an early show down
with the army was expected.
Official sources minimized the im
portance of the statement made by
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
yesterday that in certain circum
stances Britain might send a fleet to
the far east.
"Chamberlain's speech was vague
and contained nothing surprising,"
said a navy spokesman. "Probably
European conditions will keep the
British fleet at home for the present.
However, since the completion of the
Singapore base we have been expect
ing Britain to send battleships and
other ships at any time. It make no
difference to us. Our policy will be
unchanged.
Commenting on British-Japanese
negotiations, the newspaper As&hi and
Nichi Nichi, independent, both aid
that if delays blamed on the British
continued, the army would take ade
quate measures, presumably in China.
AGAINST THIRD TERM
BOSTON, Aug. 5 (UP) Dr.
Francis E. Townsend, old-age pen

President Roosevelt should run for
a third term "it would be the biggest
fool mistake ever made."
Asked if he would go alor.g with
the democratic party if President
Roosevelt were the candidate. Dr.
Townsend said "Don't fear that Presi

third term for him. The president has
