ADAMANA NOTATIONS

great cOmmOtiOn occurred at the
Adamana Hotel Tuesday, caused by
Is or 20 of Mr.. VIM. Nelson's guests
being delayed ION their out bound
"trip to the Petrified Forest; some of
them being very impatient. Mr.. Mel
son explains the delay as follows:
There is an old gentleman in Ada
mana who is awfully peeved on ac-
count of some of Miss Bowers school
children discovering he had a bald
spot on the back of his head and i'm
mediately calling him Grandpa" in
stead of Uncle" Are you listening
Bill Morgan?
He was working at the forge re-
pairing some part of his big REQ that
was to take the tourists over to the
Forest when in some unaccountable
manner he tipped over a five-gallon
can of gasoline into his fire in the
forge, which extinguished it instant
ly, thus causing him to clean out his
forge and biuld a new fire. l wonder

will the other moon take advantage of
this situation and go out and get full? ?
Why doesn't the Professor tell the
whole story?
We asked one of Mr.. Nelson's Pc
trified tourists the other day how he
liked our city. He said that he made
the following observation: That we
had ample room to expand; that no
two houses were on the same street; !;
that the twin lights Of our city were
beautiful; that we should feature our
ATtesian salt well to sell our oil
stock; that some of our houses need
ed painting real bad: that we ought
TO have on auto camping ground.
Then we asked that tourist what part
Of the East he was from and he said
"WinsloW"
Our people were greatly disturbed
Wednesday evening about two o'clock
by one of those terrestrial shimmeys
hat is generally known around logg-
ing camps as an earthquake. While
the damage around Adamana was not
great, yet the mental suffering was
n some cases appalling. The Ada
mana Thimble Club was in session at
the time and just as the crash came
all but two Of the ladies swallowed
their gum. 1t broke up all the setting
hens in town except one that was
setting in Ford, she and her eggs
were saved by the shock absorbers.
Section Foreman Won Achen at Bibo

bad that tramps could not make the

1t all in all, wish it never had hap

IMPROVEMENTS ON CITY MOTOR
CAMP GROUND

The new builing erected at the
city camping grounds; for tourists is
proving quite popular with the mot
orlng public. The materials for this
building were furnished by the city
and the construction of it was done
by the class in building of the city
schools. There are shower baths
and kitchen where several gas
plates have been installed for the
use of the motorist who camps as
he travels. This camp service for
motorists will be largely advertised
throughout the country and partic-
ularly along the line of the National
Old Trails Road and as a result
many will stop here for a night or
day when otherwise they would
not stop at all except for immediate
requirements

ideal time to do this work is imme-

Prominent Alliance
Rancher Arrested

Alliance, Neb., May 28.-(Special.)
Charged with selling beef carcasses
without exhibiting the hides of the
animals, William Garrett, prominent
rancher, was arrested. He was ar
raig ed in county court, pleaded not
guilty, and was held for trial in dis
trict court.
The complaint was issued at the
instance of Robert Graham, post
master of Alliance, in behlf Of the
Nebraska Stock Growers associa-
ton, of which Mr.. Graham is presi-
dent. Under a law passed in 1917.
it is unlawful for anyone not regu-
larly engaged in the butcher business
to sell beef carcasses without pre-
senting the hides for inspection. The
law was designed to protect cattle
men against cattle rustlers, who
often stole large numbers of cattle,
butchered them and sold the car
casses after destroying or selling the
hides elsewhere. Garret recently sold
the carcass of a calf to local meat
market, which resulted in the COM
plant against him. 1t is reported
that a large number of cattle have
been mysteriously disappeared from
several ranches west and south OF
Alliance during the past year. Gar
rett's trial has been set for May 81

Five distinct grours, the largest
10000, are operating in the Les

least 10000 were rushed to the front
from I4andsburg on the Polish bor-
der, south through Rosenberg and
Lublinitz to the Kolonowska rail-
way junction, where, during the last
few days, the Germans attempted to
split the insurgents northern group
BY driving through the center of the
right wing against the Polish border.
Nine thousand men is the esti-
mated strength of the German forces
which attacked the left flank of the
Poles, beginning at Kolonowska to
point where it joins the Oder
group. The bloodiest fighting oG-
Cured in this region since the Ger
mans launched counter offensive a
week ago, in an attempt to separate
the insurgents of the northern and
center groups. After two days
fighting the German salient here
reached l0-nile depth. with Streh-
litz, and later with Gleiwitz, as OBJ
jectives in the turning movement.
Two further concentrations. one

Washington, May %. - Warning
that wave of popuism is destined
to sweep over the middlewest was
given by economists here before the
newly organized Stable Money
league The danger, they said, could
be forestalled by proper stabiliza-
ton cf the currency and commit
tee was appointed to report plan for
stabilization.
"The next IS months will witness
severe crisis, with dangers of
another rise of populism on the
farms such as this country expe-
rienced in the 70's unless sound cur
rcncy is instituted" declared H. A.
Wallace, editor of Wallace's Farmer
of Des Moines.
"The farmer at the present time,
and probably for several years in the
future, will furnish very fertile soil
i'll which new ideas of all kinds may
grow. Last year the average renter
in the United States, after paying his
rent, had nothing left as return for
his labor, the return averaging not
over ) cents an hour.
Il am making this statement ad-
visedly as the result of a rather care
full statistical investigation and not
merely as the emotional reaction
from observation Of specific Instances.
Cash rents for the coming year have
been reduced, but the prospective
prices, judging from the grain futures
at Chicago and the cotton futures at
New York. are such that with merely
average weather the average tenant
of the United States will be very
fortunate indeed to realize as much
as 10 cents an hour for his labor"
Mr.. Wallace pointed out that while
the wartime prosperity period has
carried many farmers through the
last year it cannot carry them though
another year. As result the long
suffering farmers are searching
valiantly for economic instruments. "
