THE idea of ONE single ranch of just a few hundred acres within 12 miles of Brinkley, cleaning up" and dividing FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS as a PART of the net profits of last years crop, is a pretty nice thought for Brinkley business men to consider when they think of reaching out for trade. There are hundreds of these profit producing ranches within 15 mile radius of Brinkley.

THERE'S but little doubt but that the disloyalty and selfish ness of certain great ''monied interests'' in America are now causing much of the complica- tions in the Mexican situation. The idea of America paying for this with the blood of soldiers and countless millions of dollars is not a pleasant thought to peace loving Americans.

Ada Weatherly is
Placed on Trial for
Killing Negro Rival

Accompanied by her spiritual ad-
wiser and surrounded by attorneys
and court attaches, Ada Weatherly, 4
pale, haggard woman OF As, appeared
in criminal court to face the charge
OF manslaughter for killing Minnie
Wilson, colored, following a fight
over the affections of her soul mate.
Mrs. Weatherly will plead self-dc.
Tense. According to the statement
of her attorneys, Carl Benjamin and
r. j. Madden, the Weatherly woman
was attacked by Minnie Wilson with
a rock. She declares she grabbed a
butcher knife and stabbed the Wilson
woman fatally to save her own life.
Trouble arose at Sixth and Pacific
at midnight June Is, when the rival
women were disputing over the al
fections Of Hayti Weatherly, the COM
mon law husband of the prisoner.
Deputy County Attorney Ramsey is
prosecuting.
Because he stoutly declared that he
was prejudiced against racial inter-
marriage and protested against white
women consorting with colorcd men,
Police Officer Thomas was hastily
dismissed from serving as a juror.

Clark Powell Returns
With Motor Show Ideas

Clarke G. Powell, secretary Of
the Omaha Auto Show association,
has returned from a two weeks trip
through the east, where he picked up
a number of ideas for both the motor
exhibition in February and the closed
car solon, which will be held the last
of October.
Mr.. Powell comes back with 2
decorating scheme for the auto show
which he says will knock Omaha to
its knees"
But there is one thing that at.
tracted my attention more than any.
thing else said Mr.. Powell, that
was the successful manner in which
the traffic is handled in the eastern
cities. There aren't any jay drivers
or any jay walkers back there. And
make the automobiles 20 about
three times as fast as they do in
Omaha. But the traffic is handled
properly and motorist and pedestrian
alike behave themselves. Omaha can
