The car which struck the boy was driven by Maenard Hall, an employe ► of the streets department of Council TWaffs, who lives at 605 Hazel street, Council Bluffs. He Is held by police for reckless driving and investiga tion. Runs Into Car's Palh. Hall told police that the boy was playing with some others on the side walk, and one of the other boys chased Edward Into the street, di rectly Into the path of the car. Hall was unable to stop and the boy was thrown to the pavement, fracturing his skull. Two wheels passed over the boy's body. Hall denied that he was speeding, and his statement was confirmed by H. Wertz, 2510 Cass street, a witness, who said that Hall was driving at about. 10 miles per hour. Hall stopped his car immediately and helped to pick up the child. He then took the boy and his half brother, Robert Williams, 9, to the police station for emergency treat ment.

I**' Census Blanks Are Distributed iliicstionnaires Mailed bann ers for National Check to Begin December 1. Preliminary questionnaires for a farm census of the country have been sent by Ihe federal census bureau to all Nebraska farmers and farm own ers, according to Information re ceived by the agriculture committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Work on the census will be begun by the census bureau December 1. The agriculture committee Is "tether" of the plan to have this <»nsus of farms made every five ■ ears. By resolution, passed by the committee in 1921, approved by the executive committee of the ehambei and referred to the National Cham ber of Commerce, a bill to appropriate funds for the five-year farm census was passed bv congress In 1922. In its resolution urging such cen sus, the agriculture committee pointed oilt that owing to the In tlated land values In 1919, the failure to show the farm mortgages and in debtedness on farms by counties and by states, and the ratio of farm in debtedness to actual values, the 1920 census was inadequate and mislead ing. It also urged that the five-year K census should give statistics on farm ownership and tenantry. STUDENT LOST; CLIMBS UP WALL Pierce Tobin, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce E. Tobin, 1429 South Eleventh street, crawled up the wall of the Technical high school building from the suhcellar to the third floor Friday afternoon when he was lost after his pilot light went out while he was laying a radio lead-in wire in the sub-bnseinent.

Therefore, if the voters of Nebraska want to be heard in this election they must vote for Coolidge. Keep this in mind too—Davis is certain to have the votes of the "Solid South.” He has them now in his vest pocket. There are 1311 “Solid South” vote's. The "rock ribbed” republican states, that La Follette has never even claimed lie could carry, have 140 votes. This would leave La Follette with only 262 votps, four less than the ma jority of 266, necessary to win. should he carry all the rest of the states in the union. Therefore La Follette cannot win, even if Davis carries none hut his vest pocket states, and Coolidge only the certain republi can states. Then keep this in mind—In the house there are 23 republican states, La Follette controls one of these. There are 20 democratic states. There are five states with no vote because the delegations are evenly divided between democrats and republicans. These five states are Maryland, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Nebraska. Imagine the cry of corruption that would be made if either a republican or a democrat on these "no vote” delegations should switch. In the senate there will lie supposedly 51 republicans, 43 demo crats and two farmer-laborites. This is on the assumption that republi cans will be elected to the vacancies in Connecticut and Rhode Island to take the place of Brandegee and Colt, deceased, and that a democrat will be elected in Colorado to succeed Alva Adams. Here is how the voting in congress would work out if "Wisconsin voted for Davis: In the house, 22 for Coolidge, 21 for Davis, five not voting. The voting in the house is hy states; 25 votes are necessary to a choice. In the senate, La Follette need only carry with him three other radical re publicans and the two farmer-labor senators, both of whom have already expressed their intention of voting for C. W. Bryan. The result would be: Dawes, 47: Bryan, 43, made up of the 43 democrats and the six votes delivered by La Follette. This then would be the result—no choice In the house; Bryan chosen vice president in the senate, and by default, on next March 4, he would go into the White House by the back door. Unless Nebraska gives its eight votes for Coolidge on election day, Brother Charlie may be president. A vote for either La Follette or Davis may be in reality a vote for Bryan. In View' of this state of affairs and keeping constantly in mind that we in Nebraska are at the dawn of a new prosperity, let us make sure by voting for Coolidge, and thus make our vote count.

Prisoner Who Escaped Cell Bobs Up Again Burglar at Work in Gilcarl Be lieved to Be Fugitive From Nelson Jail. Special YHspritcIi to Tlio Omaha Br#. Wymore.

And the upper end the ring is said to he in close contact with a police department officer. I-ast week the detective and his men raided five beer joints. Inmates of all were fined. But he has in formation that they are already back in business. Closing up the places also seems to fail of its purpose. The men go elsewhere and start again. \uto Rams Train: 4 Persons Killed Two Olliers Hurt in Spectac ular Grade Crossing Smash up. Riverside, Cal. Oct.

A tenant on hi* father si I farm gave up his lease and Mr. 'Wal lace took up the job for himself. It was five years before he was able again to go to college, but when he did get back to school he completed a two-years' course jn one. During the years Mr. Wallace was out of college he took up writing on farm topics and from that lteginning there grew what now is known as Wallace's Farmer.

P. Is Boomerang I Story of SI 00,000 Fund in Montana Refuted in Tele gram to Head of Seriate Committee. “Smoke Screen,” Charge Washington, Oct. 25.—The charges of Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Mon* tana, that 1100,000 was being sent Into his state to defeat him for re. election, turned back upon him to* day like a boomerang. Senator Lorah received a telegram this morn* ing from J. W. Anderson, state chair man of the farmer-labor party of Montana, saying that Instead of i vi de nee of a big fund to defeat Walsh, there was every indication that Walsh was himself spending unusual amounts. The Anderson telegram is as follows: "There is no evidence that large sums are being spent in Montana to defeat Senator Walsh, but scores of large billboards advertising Walsh together with many moving picture films and other costly advertising in dicates that much money is being spent for Walsh and not against him. The message Walsh sent your com mittee looks like a smoke screen and should be investigated.’’ As a result of the many unsub stantiated rumors that are being cir culated. Senator Borah has an nounced that he wants "facts not rumors," and it may be that the Idaho senator will publicly rebuke some of those who It is believed are planning to use the campaign fund inquiry for the purpose of giving wide publicity to gossip and slander. I nfounded Charge*. This Is the chief concern of the committee. Chairman Borah realize* •hat wild and unfounded charges are being made for the purpose of last minute influence upon the campaign and it Is for this reason that certain charges made by Frank Walsh, at torney for I.a Follette and Samuel l.'ntermeyer are to be inquired into in advance, thus making sure that the committee will not be made use of as a "rumor factory.1’ So far, the attention of the com mittee has been given to the repub lican campaign fund. The budget set by Chairman Butler. $3,000,000. is less than 10 cents for each possible vole. Most of the funds have been ex pended for advertising, for printed matter of all kind* and for traveling expenses. The difficulty of conduct ing a campaign can be realized, ac cording to republican managers, when it i* kept in mind that should the campaign committee send but one letter to each qualified voter in the country it would take more than half of the budget to pay for the paper, envelopes, printing, the postage and time of clerks and stenographers. Editor* to Be Called. An interesting phase of the Inquiry i* in the plan to call the editors of the Uterary Digest and of the Sat urdav Evening Post. It is planned to ask these editors why thev have spent considerable sums In advertis ing. Persons close to these editor* fay that the full details will be told. The main purpose of the Digest poll was said to have been an Increase tn circulation. The results have more than confirmed the judgment of the publishers, it is said.
