MAKE PLANS TO REORGANIZE BANK Every effort possible is being put forward in a hope that the Tryon State Bank can be reorganized and put back in business. Whether or not it will be possible for re-organize the bank depends a great deal on the attitude of the State Banking Commission and the depositors of the bank. Five men made a trip to Lincoln Monday to confer with the Banking Commission with the hope that some plan could be worked out that would make it possible to reorganize the bank. Whenever a plan is formed the depositors will be asked to help in restoring the bank. We had hoped to be able to give some information in the Graphic today concerning the plan which was to be used in re-opening the bank, but Mr. Bliss, bank receiver, and the four men who accompanied him have not yet returned from Lincoln.

NEBRASKA STATE CAPITOL NEWS By Parke Keays Over 300 Nebraska 4-H club members and their club leaders spent last week in Lincoln attending the 17th annual club week at the college of agriculture. A recent survey made by the national industries conference shows that wage rates have been cut about 14 percent as an average in the United States. Executive salaries have been reduced 20 percent. The survey also shows that about 20 precent of the persons gainfully employed in 1929 are now unemployed. If congress passes a bill now before it, Nebraska will get $1,800,000 in the fiscal year of 1934 and the same amount in 1935 as federal aid in the construction of its highways. The bill proposes an appropriation of $100,000,000 each year for use in highway construction over the country. Representatives of the state railway commission, who recently returned from Kansas City where hearings on the western railroad grain rate case are being held, expect to leave soon for further hearings Mineapolis and Chicago. It is reported that the alliance of state railway commissions is making good showing in the hearings in favor of decrease in rates rather than the increase asked by the railroads. The matter of fighting grasshoppers is a problem which is puazling many counties in the state at the present time. The state has $18,000 with which to buy poison bran and has offered to use this fund to match county funds for the purchase of grasshopper poison. Some counties in the state, which have no funds available for the purpose, are planning to issue warrants if the banks will handle them. Representatives of several northern counties met at O'Neill recently and passed a resolution asking for complete state aid. These counties are in the drouth district and are unable to raise funds to match the state money. The state department of agriculture has received quotation of $19 per ton for poison bran in carload lots. This is considerably lower than the price paid last year which ranged from $25 to $27 per ton. May tax collections amounted to $1,224,000 according to announcement made by state Treasurer Bass. The collections are about 16 percent lower than in the correspondthat this indicates people are paying ing month of 1931. Officials say their taxes as well this year as a year ago since the state levy is about 16 percent lower this year than before. The report shows $12,000 in delinquent municipal, county and school district funds with delinquent interest amounting to $4,000. The majority of these funds is tied up in failed banks, it is said. Receipts of the game, forestation and park commission for 1931 were about $10,000 less than the preceeding year. Total receipts in 1931 were $217,817. The bulk of this money came from hunting, fishing and trapping permits. Last year the commission sold 13,000 scrip coupons to hunters at 50 cents each. Over 12,000 of these coupons were returned to the commission for redemption. About 663 of them were unredeemed. of The state superintendent schools has approved the application of the Norfolk school board to resubmit the question of establishing a junior college to the voters in Norfolk. The same measure was defeated at an election there late in May. Nebraska voters will vote on an amendment to the constitution which prohibits the enactment by the legislature of any laws permitting establishment or perpetration of exclusive methods of healing or interfering with the right of individuals to chose what method of healing they prefer, if petitions now in circulation carry enough names and are approved by the secretary of state. The petitions must carry the names of 10 percent of those who voted for governor at the last general election. At a recent meeting of engineers several interesting facts were brought out concerning the state capitol building. Enough concrete was used in the structure to pave 25 miles of road; more than one million rivets were used in the steel construction; 5500 carloads of material were used in the building, or enough to make a train reaching from Grand Island to Lincoln. The state banking department has reported the reopening of the Tryon State Bank, which suspended business January 8. During April over $500,000 in dividends were paid to depositors of failed banks in the state. A recent report shows that Nebraska completed 1431 miles of im proved highway last year. Of this total 280 miles were graded and drained, 89 miles graveled, 48 miles oil graveled and 222 miles paved. Nebraska's total for the year compares favorably with that of nearby states. Iowa completed 1060 miles, South Dakota 937 miles. Kansas 1724, Wyoming 1450, Colorado 400 and Missouri 3296. Total gasoline tax collections for May were $793,540 or about $75,000 more than the amount collected during May a year ago. This is sharp increase over April collections which totaled $643,000 and March collections of $445,000. Gross gasoline tax collections since the law went into effect in April 1925 totaled to $41,497,000. A savings company, which holds Madison. a general insurance agency contract under a Nebraska life insurance company, recently proposed to sell trading stamps to merchants which they in turn would give as discount to purchasers at their stores. It was proposed to accept these trading stamps as payment or part payment on life insurance premiums. The attorney general Grove park. requested to make a ruling on the matter and, after giving it some study, he ruled that the plan could not be worked out due to the fact that the life insurance policies in effect state that premium must be paid in cash. The federal government has deficit of about 2 1-2 billion dollars for the first 11 months in 1932. Mounting expenditures and decline in all tax collections, especially income tax collections, are the first contributors to the deficit.

State Capital Happenings BY PARKE F. KEAYS The democrats have not yet announced whether or not their state secretary is to receive a salary. The republican secretary, Walton G. Roberts, is working without pay in the interests of his party. No choice has been made for secretary of the democratic committee. A recent survey made by the nation industries conference shows that wage rates have been cut about 14 per cent as an average in the United States. Executive salaries have been reduced 20 per cent. The survey also shows that about 20 per cent of the persons gainfully employed in 1929 are now unemployed. If congress passes a bill now before it, Nebraska will get $1,800,000 in the fiscal year of 1934 and the same amount in 1935 as federal aid in the construction of its highways.

The state banking department has reported the re-cpening of the Tryon state bank, which suspended business January 8. During April over $500,000 in dividends were paid to depositors of failed banks in the state. A savings company, which holds a general insurance agency contract under a Nebraska life insurance company, recently proposed to sell trading stamps to merchants which they in turn would give as a discount to purchasers at their stores. It was proposed to accept these trading stamps as payment or part payment on life insurance premiums. The attornev general was requested to make a ruling on the matter and, after giving it some study, he ruled that the plan could not be worked out due to the fact that the life insurance policies in effect state that premiums must be paid in cash. The federal government has a deficit of about two and one-half billion dollars for the first 11 months in 1932. Mounting expenditures are decline in all tax collections, especially income tax collectons, are the first contributors to the deficit. Governor and Mrs. Bryan returned to Lincoln last week from a two weeks' recreation trip into northern and western Nebraska. They spent a short time in Hot Springs, S. D., while during the balance of their trip they visited various Nebraska cities. Another herd of cattle in northeast Nebraska was placed under quarantine for anthrax. Some difficulty was experienced with this disease in that section last year. During the winter, however, all quarantines were dropped. Several herds have been placed under quarantine again this spring. The Union Pacific has asked the railway commission for authority to discontinue two trains operating between Omaha and Grand Island. The railroad company proposes to substitute motor service each way between Columbus and Omaha. The federal court at Lincoln last week again heard the case of Victor Seymour. Seymour was indicted by the grand jury and was on trial on five counts which charged that he testified falsely before the Nye senatorial investigation in the attempt of George W. Norris of Broken Bow to get on the ballot as a candidate for the senatorial nomination against Senator Norris during the summer of 1930. The case was tried before a jury which had made no decision at this writing. The Nebraska delegation to the Nation convention in Chicago will leave Omaha Sunday night, June 12, and will have headquarters at the Palmer House. The delegations' first meeting for organization in Chicago will be held the following day. Federal and state agricultural authorities say the commercial apple crop of southeast Nebraska will be considerably lower this year due to lower temperature during the growing season and some tree diseases. The attorney general in a recent opinion brought out the fact that suspension of drivers' licenses under the automobile financial responsibility law can apply to accidents which occurred before the passage of the law if an unsatisfied judgment for damages was obtained after the law took effect. He states the suspension of drivers' licenses is not for causing the accident but for failing to satisfy the judgment. The supreme court went into session again this week to hear applications on 25 cases. A Nebraska school board in making up its budget for next year asked the attorney general for an opinion as to whether or not they could appropriate school money for athletics or extra curricular activities in case of shortages in those funds. The opinion stated that the law was probably not broad enough to permit the appro-

Oysters for All XTRA! The inside story of the oyster! When this scoop was recently made by science, it revealed curious things in the hidden life of that bit of sea-mystery which had for so many centuries "shut It. self up like a clam." When the scientists. however, pried open the shell of this reticent creature, the oyster, they pried into many of his family secrets. And since canning has made oysters available for those who live inland as well as shore-dwellers. the facts concerning the oyster are of universal interest. A Valuable Food First among the discoveries is the fact that oysters are good for anaemia. We had long known that the oyster was an excellent appetizer, main dish or stew, but it was left for science to reveal that he was also a veritable mineral mine of copper, iron. zine and manganese. A pound of oysters is said to provide all the iron necessary in a man's daily diet, and 36 per cent. extra. It will furnish 50 to 60 per cent. of the needed phosphorus, 35 per cent. of the calcium and an appreciable amount of strontium which is also valuable in bone building This pound of oysters gives two hun. dred times as much iodine as an equal quantity of steak, eggs or milk, and contains vitamins A. B, C and D. Just what the oyster himself eats is still his own business. Science is making rapid and in sistent investigations, however, to find out just what minute water plants he favors and why. They have already found that ft is the copper in his make-up which makes the oyster "stay put" instead of roving for food, and stay. ing put he lets the variety of foods which the sea has to offer flow to him. It is these foods. wisely chosen by the oyster which makes him a valuable addition to H. Goddard. H. H. Swink Anna B. Grant. County Clerk.

STATE CAPITOL NEWS (Continued from front page) a train reaching from Grand Island to Lincoln. The state banking department has reported the reopening of the Tryon State Bank, which suspended business January 8. During April over $500,000 in dividends were paid to depositors of failed banks in the state. A recent report shows that Nebraska completed 1431 miles of improved highway last year. Of this total 280 miles were graded and drained, 890 miles graveled, 49 miles oil graveled and 222 miles paved. Nebraska's total for the year compares favorably with that of nearby states. Iowa completed 1060 miles, South Dakota 937 miles, Kansas 1724, Wyoming 1450, Colorado 400 and Missouri 3296. Total gasoline tax collections for May were $793,540 or about $75,000 more than the amount collected during May a year ago. This is a sharp increase over April collections which totalled $643,000 and March collections of $445,000. Gross gasoline tax collections since the law went into effect in April 1925 totaled to $41,497,000. A savings company, which holds a general insurance agency contract under a Nebraska life insurance company, recently proposed to sell trading stamps to merchants which they in turn would give as a discount to purchasers at their stores. It was proposed to accept these trading stamps as payment or part payment on life insurance premiums. The attorney general was requested to make a ruling on the matter and, after giving it some study, he ruled that the plan could not be worked out due to the fact that the life insurance policies in effect state that premiums must be paid in cash. The federal government has a deficit of about 2½ billion dollars for the first 11 months in 1932. Mounting expenditures and decline in all tax collections, especially income tax collections, are the first contributors to the deficit. Governor and Mrs. Bryan returned to Lincoln last week from a two weeks' recreation trip into northern and western Nebraska. They spent a short time in Hot Springs, S. D., while during the balance of their trip they visited various Nebraska cities. Another herd of cattle in northeast Nebraska was placed under quarantine for anthrax. Some difficulty experienced with this disease in that section last year. During the winter, however, all quarantines were dropped. Several herds have been placed under quarantine again this spring. The Union Paciffe has asked the railway commission for authority to discontinue two trains operating between Omaha and Grand Island. The railroad company proposes to substitute motor service each way between Columbus and Omaha. The federal court at Lincoln last week again heard the case of Victor Seymour. Seymour was indicted by the grand jury and was on trial on five counts which charged that he testified falsely before the Nye senatorial investigation in the attempt of George W. Norris of Broken Bow to get on the ballot as a candidate for the senatorial nomination against Senator Norris during the summer of 1930. The case was tried before a jury which had made no decision at this writing. The Nebraska delegation to the National convention in Chicago will leave Omaha Sunday night, June 12. and will have headquarters at the Palmer House. The delegations' first meeting for organization in Chicago will be held the following day. Federal and state agricultural authorities say that the commercial apple crop of southeast Nebraska will be considerably lower this year due to lower temperature during the growing season and some tree The attorney general in a recent opinion brought out the fact that suspension of drivers' licenses under the automobile financial responsibility law can apply to accidents which occurred before the passage of the law if an unsatisfied judgment for damages was obtained after the law took effect. He states that the suspension of drivers' licenses is not for causing

Miss Earhart's Flight Recently Lady Mary Heath, one of England's most famous fliers, had an article in an American magazine in which she expressed the opinion that no woman would ever fly across the Atlantic alone, and that an attempt to do so would be suicidal. Hardly had the ink dried on the magazine pages when Miss Amelia Earhart flew alone from New Found land to Ireland in 13 hours and 30 minutes, covering the distance of about 1,900 miles thus, proving that Lady Mary was wrong. Miss Earhart's feat has been widely as second only to Lindbergh's New York to Paris flight. She is the only woman ever to cross the Atlantic in an airplane and has done so twice, the first time as passenger with Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon in June, 1928. She made the first flight from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back again in an autogiro last year, and has made numer ous altitude and speed records for women. Miss Earhart, who in private life is Mrs. George P. Phtnam, said after making her flight that she only wanted to show that woman could do it, and modestly added: "Outside of demonstrating that woman can fly the Atlantic alone, don't see that I've added anything to aviation, science, or anything The fool-killer was fortunately on the job in Detroit courtroom recently and directed a bullet to its proper mark. A lawyer while arguing a case grabbed pistol and began brandishing to illustrate how the defendant shot his victim. accidentally pulled the trigger, killing himself. Following a custom established 21 years ago, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Independent gives away its papers on every day on which the sun fails to shine in that city. A recent issue was so given away for the first time in 436 days, the longest period of sunshiny days since the offer was made. In a new movie being made by Jimmie Dunn a realistic fight scene will not shown as originally filmed, because the hero's boxing partner failed to pull a punch. Jimmie was knocked cold and the making of the picture was postponed two weeks to allow him to recuperate. After hearing arguments pro and con, the naval commission of the disarmament conference Geneva has decided that a battleship is an offensive weapon. Solemn conclaves and deep thought by wise men are necessary to settle hard questions. According to the director of a Chicago civic organization, more than 100,000 women sought husbands thru matrimonial bureaus in the United States last year. It is unlikely that any woman with good job had much difficulty in finding mate. One Ohio town ordinance provides as follows: "When two cars come to a crossing both shall stop and neither shall start until the other is gone." If this be carefully observed there will not be many collisions, but there may be some sight traffic congestion. Perhaps there's nothing in a name, but A. Luck of Bridgewell, England, thinks there is. He insured his married daughter against the birth of more than one child, and when she bore twins he collected $5,000. The state banking department has reported the reopening of the Tryon State bank, which suspended business Jan. During April over $500,000 in dividends were paid to depositors of failed banks in the state.
