THEODORE BARNES REPORTS
GOOD CROPS IN NEBRASKA
To the editor venango News:

Z
On my trip lately to Holdrege,
Hastings, Lincoln and Omaha make
the following remarks Good corn
and wheat from venango to Elwood;
then some lighter through Phelps
county toward Minden, and good
crops beginning east of Minden clear
through to Omaha. From Crete to
Omaha. wonderfully fine crops; along
the c. B. G. @. east of Lincoln to
Greenwood, the heaviest corn I ever
saw grow in any state. Holdrege.
4 Hastings and Lincoln are standing
the depressing times very well. Oma.
ha is great city and apparently
business is always good,
4 There are great changes at Omaha.
/ The great skyscraper building. the
elegant Fontanelle hotel and Douglas
county court house are immense. Peo-
pie ut Omaha have changed. Judges
Lake, Savage, Wakely and the popu-
lar and able lawyers like Popleton,
Woolworth, and General Cowan are
all gone and no more. The widely
known Judge Dundy. U. s. district
judge, is among the missing, and |
had the pleasure of meeting U. s. dis
! trict Judge Woodrough jurist of
great ability and ambition, industri-
GUS almost beyond comprehension
when compared to his physical
strength. found Judge Woodrough
very approachable and kindly in all
ways. and my hours conversation
with the judge was among the pleas
ATTEST hours of my life. In many
ways the opposite was true of Judge
Dundy, many being timid in his pres
ence. He was quite reserved and dig
nified. Once l met the Judge in the
rotunda of the Windsor hotel and he
was much worried
He told me his trouble, that the
eastern papers were circulating a re.
port that out In Nebraska U. S. Judge
Dundy sentenced a man to a term of
some fifteen years for breaking into
the u IS. mails and taking out some
$50. and that he sentenced bank
president to five years for defaulting
half million. He said the papers
did not explain that in each case he
gave the man the minimum sentence
| imposed the Judge to do all ! could
to get the true statement before the
public. Judge Dundy, with all his
reserve and dignity, was very kind
hearted man.

privations and horrors of the Journey

When the war broke out Mrs. Cha-

They were all in the same fix-they
would be very glad to give US shell
ter but they had nothing left. No
bed linen. no silver. no table linen,
nothing. the Rumanians had taken
everything, so we were forced to re-
turn to the railroad station.

day and was exhausted.
AT o'clock the next morning my
sister. Mrs. Julia Petits, arrived un-
expectedly at the station. She was
so sick she could hardly talk. She
told me that our mother had died
one and a half years ago from suf-
fering. The house was taken away
from my sister by the Rumanians
and she was forced to, sleep in the
attic. They forced her to cook for
and wait upon them.

that she decided to visit friend in

gary, and said that we were safter there
than in any part of Europe. with the
possible exception of England and
France.
I'VE finally reached Hungary, and
must say we were treated better there
that we visited. All we had to say
was that we were Americans, and
they could not do enough for us. My
hrst act on reaching Budapest was to
search for my family. I found that
they had gone out to their farm at
in the province of Szabolcs.
Children Beg for Bread.
They had been forced by the boil

we started at once for the Rumanian

get there. l remember when I was a
child 1 often made the trip with my

that L asked the conductor why it
took so long. He replied that the best
locomotives and cars had been taken
by the RumanianS, who had come to
hungary to drive out the bolsheviSts.
The car in which we were riding
mad almost fallen to pieces. and in
place of windows had wooden bars
nailed across the openings. 1t also had
wooden benches for rests. At each sta
t!on we stopped we saw hundreds of
old freight cars in which families were
living. They We're the only homes
they had, and they had to cook as
well as to sleep in them.

refugees from other territories that
had been a part of Hungary. but were
now given to Czechoslovakia or Ru-
mania.
sad as this sight, at every step a
sadder one was the groups of from
fifty to sixty little children. who
would come down to the railroad
depot and silently put their hands
together, as if in prayer, and beg for
a piece of black bread. These poor
little things were nothing but skin

If you saw these people and their
were not of the ordinary, common
class, but they could not do anything
else, as they had lost everything. If
a man accidentally got something to
do he was only paid 10 kronen

kronen. When I was there the rate
of exchange was 465 kronen to one
American dollar and today it is 700
kronen to the dollar. The men were
all out of work.
Hears Of Tragedy.
when we arrived at the largest
town, Nyir-Bator, nearest to my
mothers farm. we decided to go to
hotel first and surprise her after
ward. There was no hotel that could
accommodate US; there was no house
that would take US in. We drove all
about the city, but it was useless.
