NEBRASKA FOR
 WHEAT PROGRAM
Flow of Re ady Cash Starts = Skepticism
 Dissipated

Lincoln, Neb., (UP)-NVheat plan administrators expect Ne braska producers in great num- bers to take advantage of the re- gently announced extension of the production curtailment program.
 Bounty payments to the 76 per cent of Nebraska producers, who arer participating in the program already total $3,640,000, with one more 1883 payment yet to be made. w. H. Brokaw, state wheat administrator, estimates that ben etits will exceed $6.000,000 when payments for curtailment of do- mestic production have been com- pleted in Nebraska.
 This flow of ready cash, Bro- kaw believes, has convinced recall citrant producers that it will be wise to sign contracts under the program. He believes it possible that more than 90 per cent of producers of the state may be- come participants in the plan un- der the extension.
 Skepticism expressed by many at the time of promulgation of the federal plan has been largely dissipated by the actual distribu- tion of cash in the form of boun- ties for withdrawal of land from production. In addition to the more than $3,000,000 distributed under the wheat program, nearly $2O,000,O0O in loans on ware- housed corn has found it's way into pockets of Nebraska farmers and corn-hog producers are awaiting eagerly the first pay ment in the corn-hog program, designed to bring $40,000,O00 into this state,

 without you I would have had nothing" Pablito said and then he went into the shack to set a pot of water on the stove, to kindle and light. the fire and to measure coffee. They would have for their evening meal fried eggs and bacon and some coarse bread. And down the way a bit, a black boy in white linen was probably offering to Estelle Field food from dish that rested on a twinkling silver tray.
 He had high walls to scale, Pablito knew, but the young are not dismaye6 by such thoughts.
 In some ways he reckoned-and he had done deal of reckoning he had everything that Field could never give his daughter. True, the things he had were difn- cult to diagram so that the eyes of the world could read them, and Estelle's gentle rearing would keep her from sensing that which Pablito had that her father so com pletely lacked.

Running away always branded one as being afraid ad beirg afraid told the onlooker that one had reason for fear. Moves own triumphant es- cap, from justice had been made by settling in the land wherein there was a hot search for him. A boat was heading toward his island now. He lifted his head bit and waited jauntily.
 Some one Tn the stern sang out, Give us a hand, will you? En- zine trouble!' Moves called over his shoulder, "Pablito!" Then, as casually as he could, he got up to stroll to ward the shack and into it.
 He had recognized the man at the wheel of that boat and he was certain the man had recognized him.
 Years before Moves and his newcomer had bid against one an other in New York and Philadel. phia auction rooms. Moves didn't think Jeffries would speak of hav- ing seen him but he couldn't be sure. In the shack he stood cower- ing a dark corner, eyes fixed on stove from which rose the thick, blue-gray fumes of burning, bacon. After q bit he moved rather numbly across the room to shift the skillet. The smoke made him cough. He stuffed the cough and again crept to the shadowed corner. ta

St Paul - (U.P.j = Deacon, the tobacco-chewing mule of the Ft. Smelling army post, recently faced the firing squad and when the white-faced, gray-backed long ear slumped to the ground another army tradition became legend.

 "I'm glad summers coming" !" Moves said one night.
 Pablito was Tot glad. She would be going north. perhaps the next season the Fields would go abroad or to South America and visit the camp for only week or so-if at all. Then Pablito would have only his dreams of her and the blunt, cold facts that made dreams such mockery when he came back to earth.

 "Tm going tc town" he stated and stood up. Pablito wondered what had made Moves decide to go to town. He had been quite drunk only two days before. AL most invariably at least a week of sobriety and sometimes a month came between Moves trips to town.
 He watched Moves off - dark shade that swayed against the sil- yer and gold of the still, twilight echoing waters. Sober, Moves poled a fiat boat well; drunk he clung obstinately to the pole and came home wet, both without and within.
 Pablito decided that he would go for Moves at 10 or II. Meantime he could sit alone in the silence. For the first time ir his life he did not want Moves with him.

marks per bottle) and consump- tion curves tegan to perk up inn mediately.
 Duties on imported liquor still are high in Germany. For 100 kilo- reled spirits the levy 1uns $50 cognac, and 1000 marks for all other spirits. In addition, there is Q domestic excise tax of $50 marks per liter of pure alcohol so that total taxes on a bottle of whiskey. for example, run about marks. or at least half of the present retail price. For this reason, very little British whiskey is consumed in Germany. Several inferior brands are produced within tho country by blending the original Scotch distillate with potato alcohol and distilled water.
 The same is true of "we;nbrand" the German, name for cognac. A short liter of superior French cog rae retails for IF marks t$4.25 at rar) in Germany. Of this, 10 marks are duty and excise tax. The Ger man attempt to meet the brandy situation gives rise to some sharp mixtures. French, and even Ger. man, grapes and wine pulp are generally too costly for the Ger man pocketLook to be used for distilling. The bulk of distillers im- port the cheaper product from Italy and Greece for dist!lling, al- though French grapes are used in some brands. After distiliing, the usual process in Germany is blend- Ing with potato alcohol, coloring cognac distillate is also imported and blended here. Often the blend ing is unskillfully done, or the plain alcohol used is inferior, so that the resultant mixture is re- lniniscent of prohibition era syn thetic whiskey. Perhaps this is one reason brandy is generally gulped in Germany, not slipped, as in France.
 Despite the vigilance of the Protective association, which CO., operates with federal and state po- lice, bootlegging, moonshining, and label faking still persist in Ger many. Not long ago a large moon- shine plant operating as a chem ical laboratory was raided and closed in Berlin. Tax evasion also worries the authorities. Recently the chairman of the national Corn Distillers association, Dr Schutz Gamen, former member of the reichstag, and his son, were con- victed of failure to declare for tax es the full amount of the spirits they distilled.

NEW INSTRUMENT
 CORRECTS EYES
University of California Can Now Straighten
 Crossed Optics

Berkeley, Cal, (UP)-Straight- ening of crossed eyes, once consid- cred impossible, was being accom- plished in the University of Cali fornia optometry clinic through use of an instrument perfected by Prof Frederick Mason, lecturer in 0ptometry.
 The device, which operates by means of light projected directly into the retina, trains and re- educates crossed eyes to act simul- taneously and correctly.
 Stimulation of the brain func- tions, which make two eyes see as one in the principle upon which the instrument works, Dr Mason revealed. Two small targets" viewed through lenses and magni- fled by them, serve to focus the eyes, the first and most impor- tant step in the process. The tar gets are enclosed in optical sys- tems which can be fixed before each eye.
 Mason further explained that these systems are operated by means of a motor, so that then tar gets viewed by the eyes move to and fro along horizontal line forcing the eyes to follow them simultaneously, regardless of the state of crossing.
 At first the systems are so ad- justed that light is poured throguh the pupil of the eye in spite of its direction. As the patient works" on the machine, the eyes gradu- ally are moved more and more toward normal point until the eyes are "educated" to act prop erly.
 "All eyes cannot be straight ened," Dr Mason explained. 'Theatment is useless unless it is possible to stimulate a function practically born with people-that of binocular vision."

Berlin, (UP)-The United States should not maintain too high d whiskey tax if she expects a good revenue return and hopes to cut out bootlegging, in the opinion oi German spirits manufacturers.
 Taxes on hard liquor netted the government approximately 130,- 100000 marks last year. Consump- tion was approximately 130,0O0,0Oo bottles of three-fourths liter each Ca liter is 1.06 quarts).
 German experience has been that after the tax reaches certain level, apparent consumption shrinks and smuggling and moon- shining increase. In the year from Oct 1, 1927 to Sept 30, 1928, con- sumption was about 300,000, 900 short liters. In 1929 the tax was increased and apparent consump- tion fell to slightly more than half Of that, and the National Spirit Manufacturers Protective Associa- tion had it's hands full checking up on bootleggers and moonshiners. Last year the tax was lowered to it's present level of marks per liter of pure alcohol (about 2

ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

air. The American public need
 not be ashamed of its almost
 unanimous liking for comedy,
 light drama, and dance music.
 They are just as important as
 the symphony and the opera,
 for they appeal more effective
 ly and more quickly to the pub-
 lic's sense of enjoyment. They
 arc typical of the nervous,
 restless energy that is modern America, keeping in touch as
 they do with the pulse of
 American feelings and senti-
 ment.
 To this radio commentator the best method to use for American broadcaSting is the one proposed a few months ago and which we endorsed then. The plan would give the, country, through the fed- eral radio commission or, better, through the proposed communica- tions' commission board. several new networks. This would end partially the reign of the two cor portations now controlling the three major chains and would bring a wider and better selection of pro- grams. New advertising rules would be adopted, preventing the banal sales talks of today. The system would not, however, in- terfere with the present commer- ciat sponsoring of broadcasts. Through sponsors who are willing to spend money for publicity, we are convinced, can come the best programs for the American pulp lie. The government should and must be kept from interfering with programs as long as they do not interfere with peace and order. Commercial broadcasts have many flaws but with the removal of most of these faults will come better and even more servicea ble radio for America.
