Hunters Script Becomes New Paper Currency in Nebraska
A state authorized hunters script acts as legal currency for paying farmers to allow bird hunting. The Nebraska Game Commission issues and redeems coupons at 50 cents each, usable at banks and stores. Sportsmen purchase scripts, hunt farms listed for standard compliance, and farmers hold coupons for each bird taken. If hunters miss their quota, coupons may be redeemed at face value.

The notice counters with Firestone’s own testing, noting 29 test cars and two extra plies under the tread, asserting safer, more dependable tires at no higher cost.

Florida Gulf Ports Lead In Foreign Trade In 1930
U S Shipping Board figures show Florida seaports moved 2 947 401 cargo tons in 1930 up from 2 944 890 in 1929 with Tampa ranking fifteenth among US ports, ahead of Baton Rouge and near Detroit. Gulf ports handled 65 44 percent of Florida foreign commerce while Atlantic ports moved 852 795 tons.
