Feedstuffs a Crying Need in Drouth Area Governor Suggests Counties Send Agents to South Platte for FeedstnJTs Governor Bryan's state relief or ganization which was formed pri marily to obtain food for people of siv or. eight northern counties in th drcuth area is now sending out an appeal for feed for livestock which is represented as starving for lack of feed. Only a. few cars Of feed-: stuffs have . been recei ved by the state organization. Many aimers in the afflicted counties are represented as unable to sell livestock because of its poor condition. Horses are needed for next years farming operation and cows and chickens contribute to fam ily support when furnished with feed. Governor Bryan asks communities to assemble grain, hay or other fod der which live stock can eat. He has suggested that if counties in the north could send an agent to the South Platte country an exchange of obligations for feedstuffs might be arranged, as needy farmers are will ing to repay contributors. J. D. Ream of Broken Bow ha3 suggested to the governor the plan of having 200 or 300 horses driven from the drouth counties to Custer county, where the livestock could be apportioned to farmers from one to six head to a farmer, to be cared for free by running with the farmers own livestock. This moy be imprac tical, if the horses are too poor that they cannot be driven so long a dis tance, said the governor, but he wel comes the suggestion in the spirit in which it was made. A pathetic letter comes from a farmer's wife in Boyd county, to Governor Bryan, in which she says: "Wont you please send out a call to this great nation to help us grasshopper and drouth vic tims? We must have help soon A T T Thomas Walling Company Abstracts of Title j. Phone 324 - Plattsmouth s .-I-..M.-i-I-.IIi.i-iv r 4- or we will not have any horses or cattle or hogs, i My horses are . now gaunt and hollow eyed for want of feed. Do you know that over 1,800 farmers applied for government aid? But the fed eral loan was such that most farmers could not take the loan, as most of us are mortgaged up to the limit. God in heaven, what will we do? Why must we suffer? Please Fend us help soon." A telegram to State Tax Commis sioner Smith from Otto Bogner of Croftcn. member of the Knox county ccmraittee, on behalf of Fordyce in Cedar county, says: "Northwestern Cedar county food matter serious. Ship car to Fcrdyce at once; I will personally assist in distribution. Let ter follows:" The governor said a car would be sent to Fordyce. A delegation of Cedar county peo ple is to call on Governor Bryan con cerning need of feed for livestock. The delegation spent the forenoon In the supreme court to hear argument in a suit involving the right of state superintendent to withhold state schol funds from district No. 6, Ce dar county, on the ground that the school is not a public school but a denominational school. Food supplies for people are be ing assembled at many places. F. L.. Pothast of Pickrell states that a car of supplies is being as sembled by the people of that com munity. From out at Riverdale in Buffalo county, comes word from E. R. El liott that a car of supplies are being assembled there. - The American Legion and auxil iary at Axtell is assembling a car, according to word received from Ar thur J. Larson. The Gresham community will con tribute a carload cf corn, according to S. J. Thompson who is in charge of the work of assembling it. Carl T. Curtis writes from Minaen that the legion, with the coopera tion of the people of the commun ity, is sponsoring the assembling of a car at that point.

By all accounts the farmers in this vicinity have great anxiety to render all the aid possible in behalf of their farmer neighbors in t he northern part of the state, being prone to rec ognize their predicament. While it is an established fact that feed for stock ia urgently needed at this time in the stricken areas, never theless, there is also an acute short age of other items such as food t-tuffs, clothing, and other necessities, and in view of this known shortage, citi zens of Plattsmouth are urged to fully consider the pleas of the Legion Committee for donations of flour, canned goods, and groceries of all kinds. A cash donation of 25c will purchase a bushel of oats, and since this item may be purchased in abun dance locally, all persons who desire to do so may give a cash donation for such, or even a greater amount, and Commander W. T. Distell will negotiate with some farmer to fur nish oats at 25c per bushel delivered. Each donor will be accorded credit strictly in accordance with the amount given. The Legion Committee mailed out letters of appeal as quoted below to all box holders on Rural Routes 1 and 2, and due to the expense involved, could not consistently mail such ap peals to all within the city limits. "In response to an appeal made by Governor Bryan for aid to be given the drouth and grasshopper sufferers in the northern part of Nebraska, the undersigned committee under the supervision of Hugh J. Kearns Post, American Legion, Plattsmouth gladly accepted the responsibility of han dling details necessary whereby a carload of foodstuffs, including feed for stock may be loaded and shipped to the stricken area not later than January 6th. "You are asked to contribute some thing to aid in getting these unfor tunate people thru the winter and into another crop year. Anything that you may contribute will be greatly appreciated by them together with the committee in charge and we know that you will feel better for having done your bit. "Anything that ' you may have a surplus of will be cheerfully accepted as a donation, such as corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, canned fruits, vege tables, meat, smoked meats, dried fruits, or vegetables, groceries of all kinds, clothing or cash if you prefer, in fact almost anything that you may feel like donating to so worthy a cause. "Car to receive Plattsmouth ship ment is now located at C. B. & Q. Freight house, Plattsmouth, and you can either deliver donation to car or business houses displaying signs as follows: 'Donations Received for Drouth Sufferers." "In the event that you may not be in a position to deliver your donation, kindly call Phone No. 93 and some member of the committee will call for same. "As Information, the C. B. & Q. railroad company, the committee, and everyone assisting in this work are doing so free of any charge whatever and all donations will be delivered free of charge to some needy person in the drouth area. "Please place your name and ad dress on air donations in order that all donations may be properly re corded. This drive will close on Jan uary 6th, therefore be sure to send in your donations by that date. "COMMITTEE FOR RELIEF "Benefit Dance old fashioned modern Legion Building, Wednes day evening, January 6th, 1932." A list of all contributions, and the donor, will be carried in tomorrow's issue of this paper. k5 I I " How many chances of fire in your home ? You don't know.

Real winter weather set astride the entire mid-west today as the cold following the ten inch snow drove down the temperature. The snow was the heaviest that has fallen in a one day record in this section for a number of years, continuing all through Tuesday and into the evening when it subsided, to be followed by a wind that whirl ed the snow into drifts all over the middle west.' Traffic was moving Tuesday with some lelay through the storm, but this morning train and bus service here was badly crippled, through trains from the west being several hours late while the busses also were delayed from the south into this city. On the main highways patrols were busy in removing the snow to keep these arteries open for travel. but on the less used roads drifts served to keep them closed until late in the day. The storm seemed to have affected the area west of Lincoln the worst in the state, as there, almost every line of transportation was checked by the deep drifts and wire communi cation also suffered from the effects of the heavy storm that raged all day Tuesday. BOYS IN ACT OF VENGEANCE Gallipolis, O. A lurid, story that a father and his seven children were burned to death by two boys as an act of vengeance was being investi gated by Gallia county authorities Tuesday night. The fire victims were James White and his children, who met death when their log cabin home was destroyed last spring. An eighth child was the sole survivor.

Lamb, assistant superintendent of the boys industrial school at Lancaster, said two in mates of the school had confessed they fired the cabin because oneof them was Deaten oy " V" first fight. The boys were named m Albert Reymer and Els worth Mow yer. While the authorities expressed some doubt as to the truth of the alleged confession. Lamb said the boys' statement contained only a few minor discrepancies. "Sea ii before you Buy It."
