State University to Give 4 Weeks Course
in Operating and Repairing Tractors
State Badly in Need of
Tractor Operators and
Mechanics; Jobs Pay
From Sc to SO Daily

To help provide tractor operators
and mechanics for road construction.
the University of Nebraska will give
a four weeks course in oNrating
and repairing tractors, beginning
April IA. Four million dollars have
been provided by state and federal
governments for road construction
in the state this year, and plans have
been made to begin work about the
middle of this month. The one pos
sible obstacle, according to George
+. Johnson, state engineer, is the
lack of trained men, especially trac-
tor operators and mechanics. The
short course is to be given especially
to help provide these men.
Pay is IS to So a Day.
It is estimated that. 200 tractor
operators and mechanics will be
needed this year in road con-
struction. At the present time such
men are commanding Sc to So a
day, depending on ability and ex-
perience. As the state road pro-
gram extends over period of years,
there will be continuous demand
for tractor men. The patrol main
tenance system to keep up the roads
after they are constructed will also
require truck drivers and tractor
operators.
The short course will be given
by the university shool of agricul-
ture in the agricultural engineering
department at the university farm
at Lincoln. All phases of tractor
operation and repair will be studied.
There will be two hours Lectures and
six hours laboratory each day, FIVE
days a week. for four weeks.

NEW YORK. April 16.-The obvious factor in the further advance of quoted values on the stock exchange today, was the speech in the house of com mons Of the British premier, which confirmed the opinion prevalent in fi- nancial circles that the peace negotia- lions were near conclusion. Revival of local labor difficulties and increas- iifg conjecture respecting impending industrial dividend payments prompted caution by traders, even though these conditions were neutralized by easier money tendencies and the suspicious launcing of the Victorp loan.
