Staging Public Benefit at

Misfortune may back Thomas P.

a wall, but he merely will kick

Through the twenty years Nc
Graw has been selling papers on

With extra pennies, earned now
and then, he has been paying for
a home of his own.
When hard times came along, he
lost his home through mortgage
foreclosure. Pennies were hard to
get and he couldn't pay the 5000
due on his home at 1888 West

He seemed to be a part of the or
chestra, just one man relying upon
every member of the orchestra to do
his best.
During several big ovations, he
turned his back on the audience,
brought the members of the or
chestTa to their feet and permitted
them to share all the applause.
In the Mozart symphony in G
major, Jupiter" he so managed his
desk that no applause interferred
with the various movements.
The same was true with De-
nussy's Images" for orchestra, No
2 Iberia" and we were able to get
the three groups as one beautifully
played fabric.
Never have 1 heard the Cincin-

magnetic and intelligent direction of
GooSSens as we'll as the individual
work of every man in the orchestra.
The Tone Poem, Till Eulen-

done so expertly and with so much
musical color that GooSsens and the
orchestra was accorded the greatest
ovation ever given this orchestra
here.
Here is conductor of great power
and common sense who allows the
men to share in the glories of a
great ovation.

VANGUARD OF
NEXT CONGRESS
IN WASHINGTON
Norris Brings Proposal for
Three BiIIion-Do Bond
Issue for Road Building.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The
factions of congress are gathering
for the fray.
The independent Republican
leader, Senator George w. Norris of
Nebraska, has returned for the
opening of the session next month,
advocating a $3,O00,O 100000 federal
bond issue to build roads for I'M
employment relief.
Democratic leaders are assembling
preparatory to calling a conference
of their house and senate groups a
week before the session opens, Dec.
7. Their plan is to formulate a pro-
gram of legislation to be advocated
by their majority in the house, and
their minority in the senate.
Some of the dismayed Republican
leaders already are on the ground
and Republican Floor Leader Wat
son of the senate is expected before
the end of the week.
Hoover Drafting Message
Meanwhile, President Hoover has
begun work on his annual message
concerning the state Of the Union.
1t will be sent to a hostile house
and a deadlocked senate a month
from today. His associates say he
is planning to appeal for nonparti-
tisanship in the handling of legis-
lation, and all factions agree if
there is to be any legislation it will
have to be nonpartisan.
With Democrats running the
house, independent Republicans and
Democrats in a Shaky saddle of the
senate, and Hoover welding vetoes
in the White House, there is little
prospect that anything will be ap-
proved unless it bears the approval
of all the factions.
Democrats here say they are pre-
pairing to assume seriously their
new responsibility of house control.
If they organize with their majority
of two votes, they will have charge
of the origination of all bills carry
ing government appropriations.
Program to Be Shaped
Their joint conference here a
week before the session opens is
expected to consider the formulation
of definite program on appropria-
tons topics which will come be-
fore congress-including farm re-
lief and continuance of the farm
board, tax increases, governmental
economies, the naval building pro-
gram and unemployment relief
measures.
The independents also probably
will have a procession meeting to
formulate their legislative program.
1t is expected to center upon the
bond issue proposal by Norris.
The Nebraskan believes the fed
eral government should waive the
requirement of a so per cent contri-
button from the states for road
building. and go into construction
itself. He suggests raising funds to
pay off the bonds in ten, fifteen or
twenty years by increasing taxes on
large incomes and inheritances.

ROOSEVELTURCE
TO HOLD WHEAT
EVERY BUSHEL WILL BE NEEDED
TO SEED SPRING CROP
NEXT YEAR

Hold every bushel of wheat for local
use" is the request of the commission
ers of Roosevelt county who have given
TINS problem considerable thought dur
ing the past few weeks. Every bushel
of wheat harvested in Roosevelt county
this year will be needed at home IL a
normal crop is to be produced in 1882,
they say.
While the central part of the county
Will produce a surplus of wheat fit for
seed, the east and west will produce
little or nothing.
The purchase of wheat by the county
to insure having enough for local dis
tribution next spring has been consid-
cred by the board but has been deemed
lnadvisable and Illegal. The matter of
holding it. therefore, rests with the
producer and with the grain buyers to
whom some of this grain will be de-
livered.
All farmers elevators in the county
have pledged themselves to hold all
grain, if possible, and line houses for
the most part have declared their in
tention to hold their wheat for local
distribution. With full cooperation on
the part of the buyers and producers
it is believed that seed can be delivered
next spring with a large aggregate saw
ing to the wheat producers of Roose-
welt county.
The territory is fortunate in having
some wheat for harvest and is doubly
fortunate in that the area producing
the crop is practically free from wild
oats and other noxious weeds. All Of
the crop area is seeded to grain pro-
duced from registered and approved
seed within the past few years 20 it is
remarkably free from variety mixtures
and is of excellent quality.
While the 1882 seed problem is a big
one, it is believed it will be solved and
an enormous saving affected if pro-
ducers, dealers and investors, remain
loyal to local interests and see that
home people are supplied with good
seed before any is disposed of else
where.
