Washington, 30.—(Special.)—
The American Railway association ha*
decided to humanize its relationship
with the agricultural sections of the
middlcwest. The car service division
of the American Railway asoeiation
has announced the appointment of
an agricultural representative who
w ill he liaison oflcer between the roads
and the agricultural sections. The
holder of this newly created job will
i e Elmer Knutson, republican w hip
of the house.
Announcement of the appointment
of this new representative says: "It
has been determined to appoint an1
agricultural representative whose
function will he to keep in touch with
farm needs so far as freight trans
portation requirements are concerned.
The agricultural representative will
analyze the movement of agricultural
products and wil co-operate with farm
organizations throughout the country
in anticipating car requirements in
the different producing territories.
Tart of 0<*nt‘rnl I’lan.
In order to obtain accurate infor
niation and a close-up view of the
situation, he will spend most of his
timo in the agricultural sections of the
country. Creation of this office is
part of the general plon of the car
service division to bring about closer
co-operation between the shippers and
the carriers.
The announcement of the urgicul
tural liaison officer is made simul
taneously with announcement by the
Interstate Comerce commission of its
determination to investigate the con
dition of railroad equipment.
To Prescribe Rules.
Among other things the comm'sslon
proposes to inquire into the inter
changeability of car service and equip
ment with the view to prescribing
rules and "to require the respondents
to provide themselves with such safe
and adequate locomotives and cars
wherewith to perform as common car
riers their car service—as required by
law."
The commission proposes to find
out just how many ears the road
owned at the close of the year 1922,
and how many were ordered and not
delivered. The same line of inquiry
will be carried out in regard to mo
tive power with stress on the condi
tion and ages of both cars and loco
motives.
The commission will stress inquiry
.as to tho plans on foot to renew
equipment.

make candy. He run off his first batch
this week His present capacity is about
2.500 pounds a day. The output will be

Flan Rig Improvements.
North Platte—With municipal and pri
vate improvements for the past year ex
ceeding $1,000,000. the outlook for 1923
** even much brighter. At least four busi
ness buildings are planned for the coming
year, district for 45 blocks of aphalt paving
have been formed with other district to
follow, and the number of new residences
will run toward the 100 mark. In addi
tion to these Improvements tho Union
Pacific contemplates the expenditure of
$225,000 In the enlargement of Its shops.
York Extends Paving.
York—Roberts Construction company
*r* just finishing up two miles and a
half of paving, which added to what has
already been done, will make 14tt miles
"f vitrified brick paving In the city. At
an adjourned meeting an ordinance was
passed making a new paving district to
be completed in 1923, adding two and one
lalf miles mor#, which will give the city
of York 17 miles of paving.
Improve Power Plant.
Grand Island—The largest construction
project Grand Island sees for a certain
ly for the year 1923. is that of the Cen
tral Power company’s new plant on the
banka of the Platte. It Is located In
Merrick county, about six miles from the
*'ity. No effort will be made to har
i. ■ s the uncertain waters of the mile-wide
stream. The motives of the location are
lather a more abundant supply of water
tor condensing purposes at this location
and the fact that the one-half block of
real estate In the center of the city, now
occupied by the plant, effectively limit
i lie room for expansion. The two plants
will be connected, the present plant re
maining as an auxiliary and distributing {
unit.
It is estimated that the entire plant, j
equipment and the five residences for em- |
ployes will coat $676,000. A largo tract
has been purchased, has been platted by |
engineers and will be laid out In roads. 1
if( sat • "ns and plant space. A well
company is putting in a test well and
contracts will be entered Into for the con- I

expedite building these contracts will he
divided. Contrai ls for the machinery have
already been let.

Farmers’ Union Notes
Clear Up Deficit.
Belgrade—A net profit of $4,400 on a
total turnover of $126,000 is hown by the
manners Union ro-operat'.ve elevator for
tho year ending December 20. This prac
tically clears the deficit carri ,-d over from
1921. The assoriation is in a very satis
factory financial condition. Current assets
amount to $ 11,844, and fixed assets to
$7,268, making total assets of $19,112.
Current liabilities, on the other hand,
amount to only $3,000. This association
started with $5,700 of paid-up capital.
Several years ago a stock dividend was
made, giving a present paid up capital
of $17,225. With only $7,268 tied up in
buildings and fixtures, this “jives ,t much
wider margin of operating capita! than
the average farmers' elevator has, ac
cording to tho auditor v\ ho checked up
the books.
Huh m it Legislative Liana.
Grand Island—A joint committee of
Sand Krog and Harrnonv oca is of tho
Farmers’ union In this vicinity has sub
mitted a program of legislation to the
state senator from this district and the
representatives from Hall county in the
state legislature. This program includes a
state income tax, reduction of high
school tuition, barring county commie
■loners from serving as highway commis
sioner, electing county superintendents by
rural vote only, disapproving dollar
ma .chi tig federal aid in load building,
and opposing ce.ntralixcd control of the ,
schools. The * committee consisted .if
* red ThomMen, August Schimmer, K. <3.
Stolley, Hans H. Guliow, William Blaise
und Henry Hohtuann.
Plan Storage License.
Union—Directors of the Farmers’ eleva
tor here are contemplating taking out a
atate storage license and accepting grain
for storage at a charge of one-tourih of
a cent a bushel per month, deferring set
tlement with the grower until the grain
can be shipped. Owing to the chronic I
car shortage, the association has had its
house full of grain continuously for sev
eral months, and has had to take the
risk of declining prices. By the storage
plan, the risk will be transferred from
the association to* the individual farm
ers. In the year Just cloned, tho associa
tion had a turnover of $«3,00o. All ac
counts, except implements, showed net
profits. ,
Deficit Is Reduced.
Paul—The Farmers Union elevator made
a net profit of $2,000 on a turnover of
$200,000 in the year Just closed. This
profit cuts almost in two the deficit
carried over from 1921, and puts the as
sociation in an encouraging condition.
Members are showing their confidence in
their institution by taking more stock.
At the present time the elevator is full
of grain, which could be moved at a profit
if cars could be obtained. Only two cars
were received by the elevator in the entire
month of December.
Legislative Muss Meeting.
Nelson—A Farmers Union mass meet
ing held here to consider legislative mat
ters was attended by n large crowd of
farmers, and by both of the county rep
resentatives in the legislature. Resolu
tions were adopted favoring the assess
ment of all property at equal value,
reduction in high school tuition, opposing
the law allowing county commissioners
$5 a day for overseeing road work, fav
oring the abolshment of the party circle
on the ballot, favoring an open primary,
and instructing the representatives in the
legislature to vote to accept federal aid
as conditions stand, but to recommend to
congress that all dollar-matchlng plans be
abolished.
l*a.v Stock Dividend.
Xehawka—On a turnover of $83,000. ’he
farmers' elevator made a net trading
profit of $2,335. according to the check
up of the books. This profit is sufficient
to wipe out the small deficit left over
from 1921. pay 7 per cent Interest on tho
capital stock, and leave a balance for
the surplus account. The associatfbn now
has over $1,800 of surplus. It in the
policy of the association to build this up
until it equals the paid-up capital. Ray
Pollard is president of the association, 1
and J. 8. Hough Is manager. 1

past week in anticipation of the
event. Superintendent Charles S.
Cottle. Edgar, is in the city for final
preparations.
State Pays Expense.
This Is the first time Fremont has
held the poultry exhibition since 1896,
and great plans have been made to
assure success. The association is a
legalized state institution and re
ceives $2,500 each year from the state
for maintenance purposes. The egg
display, held in conjunction with the
poultry show, is in charge of the
state agricultural college and will
be the largest of its kind west of Chi

number of entries has exceeded past
records by 25 per cent. About 400
exhibtors will display over 2,800 birds
for the entire week.

Mich., Harlow J. Fischer of Cornell,
N- Y., Herb Wilson of Holtman, Kan.,

pany, will be the judge of the egg ex
hibit.
Each morning, meetings of the
state association will be held at the
auditorium. The sessions are open
to the public. Lectures on how to
get better results from poultry and
how to get poultry raising on a high
er basis will be delivered by experts.

farmers and poultry raisers.
Single Nebraska Entry
Wins First Alfalfa Prize
With but one entry of alfalfa hay
In the International Hay and Grain
show at Chicago, December 2-9, Ne
braska won first place. This entry
was made by F. J. Schmeckle of Co
zad, Dawson county. Although this
sample competed with more than 30
other entries, it was easily first. This
shows that Nebraska, in addition to
ranking second in alfalfa acreage, be
ing surpassed only by California, also
produces hay of quality.
Next year it is planned to have
more hay entries in the alfalfa, red
clover and prairie hay classes. The
various exhibits from Nebraska that
were at Chicago will be shown during
the Nebraska crop growers’ meeting
and corn show at the agricultural col
lege. January 2-4. The educational
exhibit thaf caused much favorable
comment at Chicago will also be on
display at the same time.

Investigation of
Morehouse Case
Being Extended
I . S. Agents May I)el\e Into
Secret Organizations Along
Louisiana Border—Klan
Also Conducting Probe.
Bastrop, La., Dec. 31.—(By A. P.)
—Morehouse settled down to await
the coming of next Friday when
the state would lay Its cards on the
table in the Morehouse kidnaping and
murder cases.
The fnilure of the state to set In
motion its dragnet during the past
week has given the Impression that
additional arrests will not he made be
fore the day of the open hearing.
In the meantime Investigations are !
being extended.
There were reports that Depart
ment of Justice agents will delve Into
the activities of unidentified secret
organizations who have conducted
raids against the lawless along the
Loulsiana-Arkansas border. The Ku
Klux Klan of the realm of Loulsana
also had agents in the field, it was
reported, to learn If these organiza
tions were responsible for the outrage
on the Bnstrop-Mer Rouge highway
on tho night of August 21 when five
members of old Morehouse families
were kidnaped, two flogged and two
murdered.
Meanwhile, reports are In circula
tlon that the membership of the More
house kian is dwindling through res
ignations of those, it is said, who do
not want the notoriety that might fol
low revelations at the open hearing.
Many are understood to be influenced
by their families who fear that the
innocent as well as the guilty may be
made to suffer.
Some friends of Dr. B. M. McKoin.
former mayor of Mer Kouge, who is
under murder charge at Baltimore,
have advilsed him not to fight ex
tradition but to return to Louisiana,
as they are certain he would be
vindicated. In the meanwhile they are
proceeding with the accumulation of
the fund to pay for his defense.
Former Judge W. C. Barnett 6f
Shreveport, La., announced today he
had been retained as counsel for T.
J. Burnett, former deputy sheriff, also
under arrest on a murder charge in
connection with the case. He said
tn the event McKoin was extradiated
he would represent him also.
"I regard the ease in no other light
than any other murder case,” tha
judge commented. “In the last analy
sis, this case will have to be disposed
by due process of law In the criminal
courts.”

County Judge
at Ainsworth
Reported Short
Accountant, After Audit of
Btioks, Declares Between
tween $5,000 and $7,000
Held Out in Fees.
Lincoln. Pec. 31.—{Special.)—Prob
able shortage of between $5,000 and
$7,000 in the accounts of County
Judge tV. F. Barr of Brown county,
Neb., was reported here by O. M.
Campbell, public accountant, who has
been auditing the Judg's books, at the
request of the county commissioners
In 1921, according to Mr. Campbell,
who returned to Lincoln to prepare
his report, a law was passed changing
Judge Barr's office from n fee to a
salary basis. This change, he stated,
tho judge refused to accept, and has
since refused to turn over fees col
lected. Audit of his books, at the
instance of the county commissioners,
resulted.
“When the audit is completed, a dls
crepancy of between $5,000 and $7,000
will be shown,” said Mr. Campbell.
“This discrepancy will include fines
collected since 1921, fees of various
descriptions, including sheriff's fees
collected and not turned over to the
sheriff.”
Mr Campbell left an assistant who
has been working with him on the
audit, in Ainsworth, Neb., to complete
the check.
