Thru the generosity and pub.
lic.spirit of Mrs. Ada Darlington,
a 80 foot strip of land was added

the addition, new drive way laid
out, all ground cleaned and
squares beautified, making a
general improvement which can
be appreciated by all.

Dead" as a sweet privilege.

Finance Body Has
Funds for Farmer
Security Must Be Adequate,
But Money Is Available
For Rural Needs.

If money is all that the farmers
of Nebraska want they can obtain
that by getting their bankers to put
a loan through the War Finance cor
poration. The security must be ade-
quate, but credit is no longer diff
cult to obtain. A standing invitation
to all country bankers to make use
OF the funds OF the War Finance
corporation for extending loans to
farmers is issued by the regional
headquarters of this government
agency. ,a.
AT least S25,0O0,OOO ought to be
brought to Nebraska before summer
for agricultural purposes" said F.
w. Thomas, the chairman. "Thus far
we have paid out $3,S00,000 on farm
paper with about that much more
asked for and soon to come. Those
banks that are not boosting the use
Of the War Finance loans are usu-
ally those that are uniformed as
to the paper we are authorized to
handle.
THE War Finance corporation has
as much to offer as the banks want.
The only limit to the money avail
able is that set by the degree of in
terest shown by the banks about the
state"

Auto Men Give in When
Council Bans Them From
Streets Served by
Trolley.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 27.-(Spe-
cial Telegam. BUS transportation,
the bone of contention over which
Des MONIES has fought a notable
transportation battle i'll the past two
years, went down to apparently final
defeat here today when every bus
operating within the city quit busi-
ness this morning at g.
The final blow was the new re-
routing order recently passed by the
city council. which banned all buss-
es from the street car routes. The
new ordinance permitted them to
travel on certain streets not used by
the cars, but so curtailed their loop
privileges that the bus men declared
they could not successfully operate.
Additional cars were put into serv-
ice today by the traction company
and Des Moines has nearly reached
its prewar transportation strength.
The stopping of the busses was
not without its backfrc. however.
Many bus patrons living in districts
which busses have been serving, and
which the cars cannot, have already
taken up the cudgel in behalf of
buses.

Lincoln, Dec. 27.-{Special) -- A
series of strikes by telephone users

Telephone company succeeds in get
ting the state railway commission to
grant its application for increased
rates equal to the 10 per cent war

threatened at Elkhorn, i'll Douglas
