Flew 2 Days and Nights Ik**- By O. I). TOMSCH18. I nlvrn.nl Service Staff Correspondent. Frledrichshafen, Si-pt. 2(i.—Having won the blue ribbon of the air Ivy breaking all record? for speed and stability, the ZR-3 today completed it? final test flight, proving it a fit ves sel to cross the Atlantic to America. The great dirigible, when it landed tonight, had been in the air continu oiihly for two days and one night, and had circled practically ail over Ger many and had gone as far nortli as Copenhagen. Every part of the ship Mood the guelling test to which it was subjected to the full satisfaction of the builders and the American super visory committee. No serious inci dent marred the trip from the time of sailing yesterday morning until II reached home tonight at Friedrichs hafen. As the ZR 3 arrived at its home sta tion it ran into a terrific storm which prevented landing for more than an hour. To Germany, this fourth trial flight of the ZR 3 was the sensation of the day, shoving even the vital political issues off the front uages for the first tune since the war. But mixed with tie pride in Ferman workmanship was regret bordering on resentment that the air leviathan is not for Ger many, but has to be delivered to an ni her country as a part of the price of defeat in war. Germany remembered today with tHe departure of the ship for Amer ica the Zeppelin plant must be de molished under the terms of the Ver sailles treaty. On the trip last night the Pullman arrangement In the ship was put to use for the first time, most of the passengers finding comfortable sleep ing accommodations in the berths. A ted had to roll up in blankets on the floor. The German papers today are stressing the fact that aid traveling is safer than street cars, quoting sta tistic? to show that in 6G7.000 kilo meters of passenger flying this year, no passenger has been even hurt, despite minor accidents to plants, while in every 100,000 kilometers the street cars had four accidents, with death or injuries to passengers.

Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 26.—Dried fruit exporters of the United States will be particularly hard hit by the re ciprocal trade agreement between Canada and Australia that was con cluded here last night, It was pre dicted today by Dominion tariff ex perts. Exporters of Greece grown fruits also would be seriously affected, said the experts. But to Australia, which would he permitted to Import fruits into Can ada duty free, the- new pact will be a boon. According to government figures, 32,000,00 pounds of dried raisins en tered Canada in the fiscal year 1922 23. Of this tonnage 30.000,000 pounds came from the United States, of 5, 000,000 pounds of dried currants im ported over the same period, 1.700,00(1 pounds came from the United States, and 300,000 from Greece. The present duty per pound on these two products of dehydration is half cent preferential and two thirds cent intermediate and general. Un der the proposed reciprocal program. Australia's raisins and currents would enter the Dominion duty free, while the duty on those fruits from all countries outside the British Em pire would be increased on scale rang ing from two-thirds to two cents pet jmund. Australia llong has sought trade preferences for her exports to Can ada, particularly for her raisins and currants. All the program of the new treaty must be ratified by the Canadian parliament before It can become effective. Other products of both Canada and Australia are concerned In the treaty. However, what they are ami how du ties on them will be affected probably will not be made known until the full text of the treaty becomes avail able.

Pleads for Better Care "Dairying is a 12-month business. As such it has been the saving of hundreds of Nebraska farmers," de clared A. T.. Haecker, president of the Nebraska Creamery and Butter Manu facturers' association and former pro fessor in the college of agriculture. University of Nebraska, who addressed members of the. Kiwanis club of Omaha at their noonday meeting Fri day at Hotel Rome. "When the dairy business in this state grows, every man in every city of Nebraska gets some of the profits." continued tbe speaker. "When I first came to Nebraska this state ranked 22d in butter manufacture. It now holds sixth place and probably will take fifth this year. Eighty eight mil lion pounds of butter will be produced in Nebraska this year.” Favorable for Dairying. Haecker declared that Omaha busi ness men had originated the dairy association and had given $50,000 to its support. He said Nebraska was an exceptionally favorable region fol ds irying. The dairy head pointed out that feed, alfalfa and corn was cheap est here, that climate was favorable and good water could be obtained in all parts of the state. "Farmers in a strictly grain grow ing section can not hope for prosper ity any more than a man can who works three months a year and loafs nine. Dairying is a constant busi ness and offers employment to boys and old men. I would say that half the cows In Nebraska are milked by boys of school age. "Cows make waste Into the most wholesome food. Ninety per cent of the straw In Nebraska is burned. Yet in the dairy business it could be util izod as feed.’’ Haecker asserted that Nebraska farmers should keep "bigger and bet ter cows," because of the increased milk output of the larger animals. He also urged that they take better care of their stock. "By these measures they could dou ble the amount of milk produced in Nebraska," he said. E. D.

Heavy Frost Predicted for Tonight Chicago Warns of Possible Falling Temperature That Would Damage Corn Crop. 60 Per Cent in Danger By iHorialfd rr«l, I.lncnln, Sept. 26.—A prediction of frost that will be dangerous to Ne braska's corn crop was made by the local weather bureau today. The in formation came from Chicago. A frost now would be very dangerous to the corn crop, according to agri culture experis at the state agricul tural college. Thomas A. Blair, federal meteorolo gist here stated that he had word from the district forecaster of the weather bureau at Chicago, as fol lows: "Frost that may damage corn now threatened for Saturday night in Ne braska.” May Be General. Mr. Blair said 1.. cook tnls ro mean that frost might be expected generally over the state. He estimated that about 60 per cent of the corn in the state will now with stand a moderately heavy frost but that the remaining of the crop and possibly all of it, would h* damaged by a heavy frost. "The greatest danger is to seed corn,” the weather man said. "Farm ers want to get their seed corn, of course, and if a heavy frost froze up the ears before they were able to get them from the field, there would lie great danger for next year's crop." I rged to Pick Corn. County agenta of the state agri cultural extension service have re peatedly warned farmers of the state that they should "field pick" their seed corn as soon as it has matured enough. "Quit# a bit of the corn in the northwestern part of the slate would l>e badly damaged by the frost at thi» time," Mr. Blair said. "A light frost might not hurt the crop generally over the state." He also declared that a premature starting of winter such as predicted woul damage sugar beets in the west ern half of Nebraska and the late potato crop. SMITH CHOSEN BY N. Y. DEMOCRATS Syracuse, X.

Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. "8—"Not until Texas passes an enabling act, supplemental to the 19th federal suf frage amendment will « woman he eligible In this state to hold the office of governor. And no court canf u!e otherwise and follow the law." That today is the opinion of Judge I. W. Stephens of Fort Worth, chief counsel for Charles Dickson, whose petition for an injunction disqualify ing Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, guber natorial nominee, is now pending. Judge Stephens predicted today that the injunction prayed for would be granted on two grounds: Two Reasons. 1. Lack of an enabling act sup plementing the federal suffrage amendment. 2. The impeachment restriction* imposed against James F. Ferguson. "Under the law," Stephens explain ed, "a woman and her husband are partners in financial matters, and therefore Mrs. Ferguson as governor would receive an emolument in which her hushand was entitled to share, which his impeachment decree for bids.” The Ferguson controversy Is to be decided Monday in Austin. Granting of an injunction would prevent plac ing her name on the ballot. A hasty appeal would then be taken to the ap pellate courts. May Write In Name. Should the l.tigation be prolonged by subsequent appeals to Ugher courts, the election situation would become extremely- nivolved and the chance of Dr. George C. Butte, repub lican nominee, owuld be greatly en hanced. Already Ferguson supporters are contemplating the necessity of a cam paign to have her name written in on the ballot In event it is kept off through Injunction or prolongation of the question involved.
