Cemeteries Looking Fine.
Under the care of Frank Martin,
the west Union cemetery which is
near the picnic ground and where
all can see that goes to and from
the picnic, as well as all who travel
the highway, presents a very fine ap
pearance, and attracts attention, as
it should for we should care for the
resting places of our friends. Mr.
Martin has given much work and
care to all the four cemeteries which
he has charge and they reflect the ex
cellent work which he has given
them.

Cass County Entries at
State Fair is .Large.
Thirty more dairy calves, about
the same number of pigs, and three
fourths as many Baby Beef entries
have been made at the state fair by
4-H club members this year, com
pared with 1929. The increase in
dairy calves is a surprise to every
one. The reduction in baby beef en
tries is due to a new culling ar
rangement which will send the poor
er calves directly to the stockyards
early state fair week. More calves
are on feed than ever before in Ne
braska. This means a higher quality
show Saturday, August 30th, when
the baby beeves enter the state fair
judging ring.
Ranking among the highest in
number of entries, Cass County will
be largely represented at the state
fair. 14 dairy heifers will be shown
from this county; 22 baby beeves;
11 hogs; 2 pens sheep; 16 show
ing poultry; 29 corn entries; 6 po
tato entries; 122 clothing entries;
14 canning; 25 cooking, and 7 keep-
well entries, aside from the splendid
showing in Posters, etc., as well as
the numerous judging and demon
strations teams and health contestants.

Washington The plan to move the
United States veterans' bureau -re
gional offices from Omaha to Lincoln
is still secure, despite the decision of
General Hines, head of the bureau,
that he would delay his final decision
on the shift until he has heard argu
ments of the opposition.
Malcolm H. Baldridge, represent
ing the American Legion of Omaha,
elicited the promise of General Hines
that he would consider objections to
the proposed removal. General Hines,
after conferring with Baldridge, stat
ed the bureau would not be moved
before the first of the year, and he
was ready to listen to any reasons
why the change should not be made.
Construction of the buildings to
house the bureau at Lincoln is to
continue, however, and is expected to
be finished by Nov. 1. It was indi
cated that any change in plans to
move the offices is extremely unlikely.
