be observed annually In the future contends citing the fact that sugar beets are exempt from the emergency charge while sugar carries a charge of two cents a hundred pounds although sugar rates in Nebraska already are above the ceiling of reasonable rates and an additional charge is not Justifiable All livestock is exempt from the emergency charge it was emphasized excepting horses which under the proposal will carry an increase of five cents a hundred pounds The South Omaha Terminal Railway company which handles the switching especially on livestock for all of the railroads coming into Omaha it also was noted is asking for an increase of ten percent in all switching charges Whether this increase is to be absorbed at South Omaha or by the shippers Mr Ryan pointed out is just one of the many questions in connection with the application to be decided The hearing is important from many angles Mr Ryan concluded and should not be determined bany action which the Interstate Commerce

a Dust Storm MAROONED TWO DAYS Dust Covers Fields Like Snow He Says and in Many Places Only Ridges Disclose Presence of Fence Lines Residents of this section of the country have no conception of a dust storm Dennison engineer for the Kelly Well company declared this morning The engineer was marooned for two days In Dodge City Kansas last Wednesday and Thursday during what was declared there to be the worst dust storm the section ever had experienced The dust covered fields like snow Mr Bennison stated and was so deep in many places that only a ridge disclosed the presence of a fence line The wheat crop and that country is In the heart of the wheat belt is ruined give you a hundred dollars for all the wheat that section Of the country will raise this the engineer stated Farms are being abandoned by the score he said it being estimated when he left that the storm together with the preceding storms had thrown 40000 families upon direct relief The storm on Tuesday evening a few hours after Mr Ben-jiison had arrived in the city If he had realized what was coming he said he would have hiked for home Instead he put his car in a garage and checked in at a hotel Friday morning he was able to leave In the hotel in which he stayed chamber-maids and porters constantly swept the lobby and hallways working twenty-our hours a day in shifts No attempt was made to clean out the rooms or change bed linen Cover Faces With Towels The hotel was of course packed The guests got little sleep covering their faces with wet towels when they did get sleep The men spent their time playing cards or just walking about the hotel with now and then a dash across the street to a restaurant Though the restaurant was directly across the street it was obscured most of the time A rope was stretched from the hotel doorway to the restaurant doorway so guests lose their way Curb lines simply exist and traffic on the streets wTas utterly impossible Stores with exception of a grocery store or two were closed A nearby theater did great business when hotel guests would tixe of cards and had to do something to pass the time Five main line passenger trains iJEaster SPECIALS We are offering special

Edith Martin of Lincoln supervisor of the adult educational program In the state to members of the Self-Help society and others who attended the meeting Interest in the program was manifested by an attendance that approximated 80 men and women and by a number of inquiries directed at Miss Martin by persons in the audience The course is very elastic Miss Martin told her audience and Includes the various departments of home-making music drama short-story writing story telling photography art and numerous other subjects Anyone is eligible to enroll in the classes Miss Martin replied in answer to a query but the government were stalled in Santa Fe yards while four branch line trains were derailed Westen Union messenger boys and others who were fortunate enough to get them wore masks improvised from old war-time gas masks No one left the protection of dwellings or buildings if not absolutely necessary At one point on the highway near Dodge City Mr Bennison says over 140 cars were marooned State police assisted in getting them through sending them along in convoys so that motorists would have help when stalled During the second day a fanner his wife and young son came to the hotel They had brought the boy for medical treatment It was the second time he had suffered from what they called the mother told Mr Bennison She said they had made arrangements to leave the country their wheat crop so promising earlier in the spring being completely ruined During most of the two days and two nights they reckoned the severity of storm by whether or not they could see the lights of the restaurant across the street the engineer said Leaving Dodge City Friday Mr Bennison said that for miles about the country resembled a smooth beach He saw scores of dead livestock and everywhere desolation It was with a sigh of relief he said that he reached the Nebraska border Highway Abandoned Harvey Grotzky an employe of the Bartenbach Poster Advertising company residing at 916 West Third street was another resident who experienced the severity of the storm He took the opportunity to obtain photographs which vividly portray desolate conditions In one photograph taken from the front seat of his car the radiator cap only slightly is discernable In driving Grotsky said a motorist had only telephone lines on either side of the road to direct his course Another picture taken ten miles east of Dicken in southwestern Nebraska shows a stretch of abandoned state highway for a distance of approximately a quarter of a mile For this entire distance the highway is covered with from three to four feet of sand and autoists have made a detour through hills to one side of the highway Telling of the mud storm of last Monday Grotzky said the road signs were so badly mud splattered that they could not be read by autosists REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS The following real estate transfers have been filed for record in the office of the Hall county register of deeds: Guy Hyde to
