plate the shipment of all grain above
the amount needed fur the people of

Greek, Italian and other market.
With the credit thus etlablirhrd,
the soviet authorities expect lo enter
the market of London and Liver
pool purchasing suoplirs of grain a.irl
other foodstuff which clould easily
be transported to Moscow, I'ctro
Krad and other' northern district of
Nutria which are now cut off from
the southern wheat fields.
. To Export Coal.
In the same .manner, the soviet
economic experts plan to export coal
from southern Kuttia and to pur
chase it in the British market for uc
in the northern dittricts.
' An important point to he taken in
to consideration In connection with
the export of Russian coal to the
Mediterranean it the fact that such
coal will meet the competition of
French coal. This fact will have an
important hearing upon the price to
be received byvthe Russian for their
coal and it is believed they will prob
ably have lo pay more in the British
market than they receive for their
products.
The general fuel situation in Rus
sia has been somewhat relieved, re
ports here indicate, by the improve
ment in the movement of 'oil from
the southeastern fields up the Vola.
ts'evcrthelcts, the situation remains
bad enough and will certainly be
come worse 'as autumn approaches.
Latt year Moscow and 1'etrograd
suffered terribly from cold, in many
cases houses and other building be
ing' undermined by the tearing away
of parts of the structures for ute as
Qovernment Control.
The various commercial transac
tion contemplated by the soviet
authorities in the export of com
modities from southern Russia and
the import of others throiiRh north
western Rus&ian ports naturally call
for a definition of policy on the part
of the soviet government to he fol
lowed in its dealing with foreign na
tions and subjects. Such a policy
was enunciated at a recent conference
on foreign trade in Moscow which
was presided over by Krastin. At
this conference it was decided that
the soviet government should retain
control over all foreign trade though
certain individuals and corporations
of known communistic sympathies
might he named as purchasing agents
abroad.

Courts Attacked.
Urging the election of Senator La
Follettt, this group among other
things nyi:
"Complete the greatest fight of
his career which has recently been
launched to curb judicial oligarchy,
which from the '.up.'eme court down
to the meanest federal judges have
usurped and are daily asserting
powers to issue injunctions, to make
laws, and to declare legiclation un
constitutional, which were never con
ferred upon them by the constitu
tion in or by the laws of the land.
This has the unanimous support
of the American Federation of Labor
and will be hacked by every labor
organisation In the United States.
"This is the greatest progressive
program ever mapped out by any
American statesman."
While there has been little doubt
here at any time that Senator La
Follette will be nominated, there has
been a growing interert in the pos
sible effect upon hli candidacy of the
growing interert in the possible ef
fect upon hit candidacy of the pres
ent railway strike which has threat
ened the farmer more dangerously
than any one. The farmer" ha been
having pretty hard sledding for the
past two year and a tieup of trans
portation now when he is ready to
move the largest crop in the hirtoryl
of the country would be fatal.
Farmera Grove Restive.
There has bren a growing unrest
among the farmers as to the exteut
of the power which organized labor
may exercise through control ot the
machinery of transportation, and it
is believed possible this growing
realization that the interests of the
farmer and the organized laborer arc
incompatible may have some effect
upon Senator La Follette'i program.
It will be intcreirting also to note
how Wiscontin reacts to the attack
upon the supreme court, which is
the outstanding feature of Senator
La Follette s present day political at
titude. TruHted Village Trustee
Must Explain 13 Absences
G. A. Palmer, trusted trustee of
the throbbing village of East Omaha,
may have hi say before a court of

ings, as per the legal statutes and
regulations of the charter.
For Justice of the Peace L. N.
Dunce has set that day to settle the
dispute between Mr. Palmr and A.

It hurt, that knowledge. All day long I went
around with a wound in my heart. But at
night, when I waa lying in bed staring at the
ceiling, I looked the matter straight in the
eyea. Molly wu right in her feeling. Here I
waa, barely forty, yet I looked sixty! .
The next morning I had a talk with my hus
band. I told him what had happened. "I
want some new clothes," I said. "Thank
heaven!" he cried. "Go to it! If you're
through in time come to the office and take
lunch with me."
Well, I did it! I went to a store that waa
noted for its good taste. They entered Into
my problem wholeheartedly. I came out look

Wels and di)t in the democratic

"With the Bryan-Hitchcock alli
ance it is impossible for a democrat
with either dry or wet tendencies to
align iheitiselvei behind either candi
date," Shroyer said. "I went into
the campaign believing that danger
of overthrow of the Volstead actwas
more imminent now than at any time
since its patiage.
"Then came the Bryan-Hitchcock
alliance and betrayal of both the wet
and dry cause by their leaders in a
scramble for the two biggest offices
in the state, It certainly leaves
party members with strong convic
tions on the wet and dry issues at a
loss for leadership in the party."

Prayer Each Day
Looklne- unto Jsui, th suthsr snd fin
ishsr of our faith. Hb. 11. i.
Father, whenever we kneel in the
quiet of the hour of prayer, the woii
der of Thy love enthrall us. We
arc thrilled by the memory of Cal
vary; we marvel at the mercy which
forgives sin; we are filled with awe
at the thought of the goodness which
ha followed us all the days of our
life.
But we find it hard to keep our
hearts aglow when we arise from our
knees and go forth to face the stress
and the strife, the disappointments
and the heartbreak of our common
life. Then we are prone to forget
Thy love. Oh, help us each day, the
bitterest as well as the brightest, to
have so vibrant a sense of Thee that
we shall act as those who are holden
to the spell of an ineffable love. Give
up each hour such an abiding mem
ory of Thy mercy that we shall find
it hard to 'be unmerciful to others.
Keep us ever so alive to Thy goodness
that evil shall be hateful to us. And
may the vision of Calvary so impress
itself upon us that we may not hesi
tate to do the sacrificial deed that
the need of some brother may de
mand. And do Thou walk with ,ua
in life; and in death take us, dear
Lord, to dwell with Thee. Amen.

The recreation tent was crowded
Friday night for the entertainment
furnished by chaiitauuua talent trom
Lincoln and a splendid program was
provided.
The boys of First battalion head
quarters company, Nebraska City,
are enjoying une extra fine eati iut
now as a result of a cited: (or $2i
contributed to their mess fund by
William i'ltzcr, Nebraska City law
partner of Major I'lme, who com
mands the First battalion.
Maj. Otis C. Davis, senior bat
talion commander, ha the western
Nebraska companies in his outfit,
several of which came over 400 tuilci
to attend the encampment. Major
Davis is from Scottthttiff, which was
the first town in (he state to or
ganize a National guard company
after the world war.
Capt. Harold C. Capsey, regimental
chaplain, announces religious ervicei
at the recreation tent for Sunday, at
10 and 7. The morning service will
be preceded by a band concert at
V..10 by the service company band
of York, and Kev. Capsey will deliver
sermon on tht subject, "Growing
Gianti to Order." The 7 o'clock
service will be preceded by a 20
minute song lervire. and Key. Cap
tev't ubject will be "Catching
Whales." Capsey was a chaplain
overseas in the regular army and Is
a past chaplain of the Nebraska
American Legion.

pany is the first on record to secure

An ammunition truck got stuck in
mud hub deep at the range Friday
morning after the rain and it was
with considerable difficulty it was
gotten out.
Rain Friday morning was good for
tne drill lieiri, which the Chamber
of Commerce had just had dkked and
harrowed and had intended to soak
down when J. I'luvius saved them the
trouble. .
The officers' tents have all been
moved up to line and the company

the visit of Governor McKelvic

One of the strange paradoxes is
that successful borrowers are usually

from accident insurant companies on
policies taken out by employers.
This system is one In ut bv all
ixcrpt six states. Strangely enough,
it originated in the suggestion ol
employer themiilve. It i bated
on the belief that iht cost of human
wastage in industry should be borne
by the industries thrmtrlvei rather
thin by tha crippled workers, in
stead of wage earners being catapult
ed into poverty by the chance of in
jury, their hospital expenses an paid,
I their doctor u paid, and they are given
enough money lo livt on while laid
I up. The system works to Iht advan-
I lage of busmen at a whole. Grocen
do not nave to wait lor their pay ana
the - incapacitated workman not
pauperized.
It li a fact that great nuniben of
workingmrn never have taken tha
trouble to learn of this protection!
XI any men are insured without ever
knowing it. However, if a man who
it injured in hn line of duty nati
fies hi employer and goes lo the
doctor recommended, ha will begin
to receive insurance compensation
one week later.
Money Given We.kly.
This compensation amounts to
two-thirds of the man's regular wage,
but doei not exceed $15 a week. No
pay it awarded for the firit waek he
is unable to work, unless he loses
six weeks' tune or more. The com
pensation is given weekly, not in a
lump sum. In the event of his death,
the widow geti $IS a week for al
most seven years. The following
table shows tha compensation paid
for specific losses:

In addition, there is no limit on
niedical and hospital costs. One of
the advantages of the system is that
no lawyer has to be hired, nor any
suit brought. For the protection of
the uninformed, the rule is made that
no, compromise on a lump sum pay
ment is valid without the consent of
the secretary of labor. A better feel
ing is engendered between employer
and employe, and no one loses his
rights for fear of being deprived of
his job. And if the injured man re
covers, he can return to work with
out being weighed down by debt due
to his illness.
