Notes from Beatrice
And Gage County

Beatrice, Neb., July 25.--(Special.)
Clarence Fisher, the young Pickrell
farmer who was dragged some dis
lance yesterday by moving machine
when his team ran away, is in cri'i-
cal condition as an examination at a
local hospital shows that one of the
sickle guards penetrated his right
lung. His right ankle was almost sew
cred and the muscles of his right arm
at the elbow were also cut off. The
young man is p years Of age and the
son of Henry Fisher, an old resident
of the Pickrell vicinity.
Elgin Wilcox yesterday began suit
in the district court for divorce from
Claude Arthur Wilcox. The plaintiff
charges extreme cruelty and non
support. The couple was married in
Beatrice in February, 1918.
Albert Morris, pioneer of the
Firth vicinity, died at local hospital
yesterday, where he was operated
upon. The deceased was SO years of
age.

No Water in Pool at
RivervieW Because
OF Too Small Pipe

There were several hundred disap-
pointed bathers, or rather, would-be
bathers, at Riverview park Monday
evening. The evening was warm
and large numbers of Omahans
trekked out to the pool at Riverview
to take dip in the reported cooling
waters there But alas, there wasn't
enough water in the pool, and those
who had pinned their hopes on River
view as refresher either visited
other bathing resorts or retreated to
the friendly bath tub.
The water had been ordered shut
off by Joe Hummel, park commits
sioner, following complaints from
consumers in the neighborhood that
they were unable to get water while
the pool was being filled. There is
only four-inch main in the district
in which the park is located, a fact
that results in the consumers, they
complained, being left high and dry
while the pool is getting its quota OF
water.

WEAD ASKS ABOUT
LAND GANK HERE
Wires Lobeck How Omaha
Men Can Do Most to Locate
Institution in City.
LINCOLN GUMS CAR


Washington, July Is. - Especial
Telegram.)- How can committee
do most to assist you i'll locating a
federal bank in Omaha?' was a ques-
ton received by telegraph from Fred
D. Wead, chairman, addressed to
Congressman Lobeck today
What ever answer the congressman
makes to the telegram may not tell
the situation exactly as it now exists
regarding the location of land bank
in the Gate City.
Before Senator Hitchcock left for
Nebraska he filed applications for a
federal land bank or a rural credit
bank" with Secretary McAdoo, from
both Lincoln and Omaha, incidentally
stating that in view of two cities
in his state being candidates for such
location he could do nothing more
than be neutral So much for Mr..
Hitchcock.
What State Must Expect.
The members of the house feel that
they cannot do more than Senator
Hitchcock has done, and while they
have pronounced views on the sub
ject, do not hesitate to say that if
the state has two candidates for the
location of farm loan bank, then the
state has no right to expect anything
but what it will undoubtedly get.
1t was charged against Bryan that
his championship OF Lincoln as a
branch of he federal reserve bank
against Omaha made the selection OF
either one impossible.
Bryan does not appear in the farm
loan bank equation, but the result
promises much the same.
If the judgment of the individual
members of the delegation in con-
gress from Nebraska could decide the
location of the farm loan bank it
would be in favor of Omaha. Lin
coin has once more gummed the
cards.
Everybody for Hughes.
f. c. Houston and wife of Tekama,
DR.. J. f. Wallace and wife of Oak
land and Judge Foster of Omaha
were capital visitors today. Mr..
Houston said he had travelled as far
east as Montreal and had talked to
many people and as result OF those
conversations believed that Hughes
would be the next president.
When Judge Foster was told how
the acting-police judge OF Omaha was
filming Automobiles for ignoring
speed regulations, he quietly said,
II have been doing that for some
time"

How Petition for
Compensation Must
State Particulars

Lincoln, July Is. Especial. "a
petition for compensation under the
workmen's compensation act should
set out the injury in its extent and
character, and the judgment should
conform thereto, determining plainly
the extent and character of the in
jury, whether the disability is total
or partial, and whether temporary or
permanent; it should state definitely
the time for which periodical pay
ments must be made"
This is the opinion of the Nebraska
supreme court in suit for dam
ages brought by George L. Hanley
against the Union Stock Yards COM
pany, in which judgment was secured
in the Lancaster county district court.
Later the defendant made application
to the court for an order relieving
it from the payment Of any further
compensation to Hanley. The court
denied the application and the defend
ant appealed.

the federal health service to prevent,

We regret the chain Of events which has
denied to the American people, in these
days Of grave portent to the future of our
nation and the welfare Of its people, the
leadership Of that foremost American who
borne aloft our party banner four years
ago but believe with him that our nation s
need is paramount to the need of any
political party and we therefore endorse
the action Of our national committee in
urging all those who have heretofore fought
for progressive principles to unite in an
enthusiastic and loyal support of the can
didacy of Charles Evan Hughes; recogniz-
ing In him true American of great attain
ments of highest character and of unfal-
tering patriotism.
We declare the election Of Hughes the
vital need OF the hour for reasons Of the
truest Americansm the broadcast national
and the perpetuity of our governmental
ideals and the pledge the earnest coopera-
ton OF the progressives here assembled

sive state central committee In nominating
Abraham l.. Sutton for governor and John
L. Kennedy for United States senator as
sbot adopted to the ends above declared
and under existing circumstances to the
best interest Of the people of our own

confidence in their character urges their
support by all citizens who had interests of
good government and the common welfare
at heart.
We call upon all good progressives to re-
main loyal to the principles for which our
party came into existance and to the party
organization which while for reasons of
national safety is temporarily supporting
still the party of progress in America and
the recently adopted platform of which is
and must be the proper program for true
progressives In all parties.

Persian Farmer,

In Persia one OF the chief occupa-
tions is farming, but 1t is carried on
in such a manner that 1t can hardly
be called such. II the Persian would
follow the example Of our western
farmer his country might be very fer
tile, but he pays little attention to
irrigation and cultivates the soil in
the crudest way imaginable.
This crudity comes from two
causes-poor implements and natural
Incidence. The Persian plow is a
crooked beam of wood with a bit of
iron at the end. 1t is just such a
plow, doubtless, as the ancestors of
Abraham used in the plains of Meso-
potamia. 1t stirs the soil to the
depth of only an inch or two. Persian
Incidence is well illustrated by the
fact that in hoeing one man holds the
hoe while another pulls it up and
down by means Of a rope.

Golf BaIIIstIcs,

/ do not see why all the inventions
which have been applied to other pro-
jectiles should not be utilized for the
purpose Of persuading the golf ball to
go where 1t is wanted to go. There
ought to be a sight on every golf club
as there is on every rife, Sc that one
might take aim properly. Every golf
er ought to carry a range finder,
which would enable him to calculate
the length Of his approach shot, of
his chip shot on the edge Of the
green, and of his approach putt. !
think it would also be well If the
golfer could be provided with little
instrument for measuring the strength
of the wind, the destiny of the air,
the stiffness of the blades of grass on
the green, and the gradient of its
slopes. 1t would be well If some
great mathematician were to compile
a series of tables giving the amount
of borrow in the case of every imagi-
nable combination Of slopes, wrinkles,
undulations and crows feet. What
we want in golf is a stream of facts
instead of stream of guesses. For in.
stance, we want to know whether the
green is fast or slow, and how fast
and how slow. Surely it would be pos
sible to invent a speedometer foI
