FARM HORSES STAGE COMEBACK IN NEBRASKA Grand Island, Nov.

HP) Horses, displaced by power tractors on numerous Nebraska farms during the boom period following the World war are staging a back. In fact, according to John Torpey, head of the Grand Island Livestock commission house, one of the largest horse dealing concerns in this country, the horse is now about the only product of ranch, or farm which can be marketed at a profit. The depression has largely been responsible for the return of the horse to popularity among farm' ers, Torpey said. "The demand far exceeds the supply of horses," Torpey says, "and prices on draft animals are going up. It will probably be five years before a normal supply of farm horses is developed," he believes.

HORNER GETS CONGRATULATIONS The governor-elect of Illinois, Judge Henry Horner (center) of Chi- eago, Is shown surrounded by scores qf admirers after showed nil Victory was assured, (Associated Press Photo) AGED PHILANTHROPIST ADMIRES WRITING OF WILL ROGERS BY BENTON E. JACOBS (Copyright, 1932, by the Associated Press) Jacksonville, Nov. Time was when a presidential election was an important event in the life of John D. Rockefeller, but he has seen a lot of water flow over the dam in the 94 years he has lived. "Neighbor his designation when he comes to Florida for his annual winter discuss politics except indirectly when'he arrived here this morning en route to his estate at Ormond Beach.

"Glad to Sec Any Good Man Win" A Republican of long standing, Mr. Rockefeller is, as one member of his household put "always glad to see any good man win, regardless of party." The founder of the Standard oil fortune indicated his sympathy for President Hoover by calling attention to a brief article in the paper he had on his breakfast table, written by Will Rogers, the humorist, "That is something mighty fine," he said. "Will has written some very good stuff lately." The article referred to addressed consolation to Mr. Hoover from "the whole American people," which the writer said "is no doubt greater than that ever shared by a losing president." It added: "There is nothing personal in' that vote against you." But Mr. Rockefeller preferred to talk about the sunshine which streaked across the station platform.

There have been 23 presidents to come and go since he was born. Martin Van Buren was chief executive then, and when Mr. Rockefeller first was old enough to vote, Zachary Taylor elected. FRENCH WOMAN PASSES EXAMS FOR DIPLOMATIC SERVICE Paris, Nov. by law for such an unheard of and undreamed of thing as a woman successfully passing diplomatic examinations for foreign office posts, the Quai d'Orsay was more than confused when Mile.

Borel fulfilled all of the requirements. When laws were mad'e years ago providing for examinations for diplomatic and foreign office posts, the idea of excluding women was undreamed of, due to woman's position. Two years ago a law wr.s passed permitting women to hold' government jobs, but their positions never were to be other than secretarial, or clerical, and always within France. As a consequence of no woman being allowed to hold a diplomatic Job in France, Mile, Borel has been given a position in the department caring for French education and missions abroad. At the time this concession was made the Quai d'Orsay passed a law providing that under no condition shall a woman be sent to a foreign country on a diplomatic mission, It was more or less an experiment that Mile.

Borel was permitted to attempt the ministry examinations, Her rapidity and accuracy in answering the questions came as a complete surprise. Despite her brains, beauty and intelligence, she now finds that the doors of the highest posts still are closed to her and that she must content herself with the place offered. MRS, MARY MILLER, 97 YEARS OLD. VOTED TUESDAY Mrs. Mary R.

Hewetson was not the only nonagenarian who cast her vote on election day. Mrs. Mary A. Miller, 942 South Galena avenue, was at the polls Tuesday, casting her vote for her favorite candidates. She has passed her ninety-seventh birthday.

Joseph W. Benston, local Insurance man, and Frank Trunck, manager of the United Cigar store, are the pair who will do their stunts while a cheering audience watches. The former is booked to roll a peanut with a snow shovel on Stephenson street tomorrow afternoon, and the latter will then make a political speech from the monument corner. Another wager between custodians of two buildings in "which the loser, In blackface, is to wheel the winner about the streets Is also slated for payment this week.

Contrary to the belief that advance betting odds favoring a Democratic victory sent bettors scurrying to cover with their money docs not seem to have been the case locally, where an east side property owner is said to have wagered his. home against $500, and other bets have been reported In sums of $50, and a considerable number of smaller amounts. The real old-time political wagers, however, were not in, evidence as in former years.

For the Democrats' possibilities: "I hope the other fellow now can make good on his promises." His future plans, the vice president said, were aimed at "cleaning up my office" and "trying to get some rest." SEVERAL THOUSAND FATHERS LOOKED FOR AT OF Urbana, 111. Nov.
