Idle Talk Works Injustice
Some weeks since there were a
number of night visits at the farm
home of George Pickwell and his
daughter, Mrs. Harry Davis, when
their chicken roosts were raided and
almost the entire flock taken. This
has become an outrage and every
thing possible should be done to stop
such practice and insure making the
raising of poultry safe for the own
er. Worse than the theft, however,
there arose a report, although no one
seems to know just where it started,
to the effect that W. H. Leesley, who
hatches and grows chickens by the
thousand, was implicated in the
disappearance of the chickens which
were taken.
In the meantime he has and al
ways has had a large flock of his own
chickens, which do not bring a very
good price and which makes it ab
surd that he would not attempt to add
to his already large holdings by pil
fering those of his neighbors.
Besides this, idle gossip has start
ed the rumor that two of his neigh
bors had also lost chickens and it was
insinuated that Mr. Leesley was in
terested in their disappearance, but
the truth of the matter is that they
did not even lose any. These tales,
from whatever source they come, are
all false and untrue, and while they
furnish talk for some one who has
nothing else to do, they are casting a
suspicion on some one who like every
other man nowadays is struggling by
hard work to get along. Before a re
port of this kind is spread, the truth
should be found out.
Notice
The damaging report being circu
lated about me is untrue and had
better be stopped at once. If my
friends hear any more of this, please
come to me at once and tell me and
I will see that someone will pay
very dear for their gossip.
W. H. LEESLEY.

60,000 Nebraska
Families Jobless
Survey Reveals
George Hoge Re-Employment Di
rector for Nebraska Foresees
Aid Before Winter.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 16. Estimat
ing that 60 thousand, or 17 per cent,
of Nebraska's families have no mem
bers employed, George Hodge, federal
re-employment director for Nbraska,
expressed hope today that federal and
state programs now under way will
care for them this winter.
Hodge made his estimate on the
basis of county reports submitted to
him by county committeemen in the
organization he set up to fill Jobs cre
ated by the federal highway pro
gram. Simultaneously, Floyd A. Atkins,
emergency relief statistician, dis
patched to chairmen of county em
ergency relief committees a stern
warning that local governmental
units must carry on their work to
relieve distress and not depend on
the 700 thousand dollars in federal
fund3 expected for this state.
Demands Local Help.
"I predict that counties not using
their available resources won't get
federal funds," he commented. "Ev
ery department of government that
has any taxing power left has a di
rect responsibility to help those in
distress. The federal government
has made provision to carry a sub
stantial share of unemployment re
lief needs, but unless many states
and local subdivisions make immed
late provision for a.-larger measure
of support than they are now pro
viding, the unemployed and their de
pendents will suffer."
Hodge said about five thousand
Jobs would be provided by federal
highway work on which contracts
will be let this month. Governor
Bryan has said he hoped to see 10
thousand men at work on these pro
jects by fall.
Managers Named.
A list of county re-employment
managers and the estimate of the
unemployed in each county was made
public by Hodge.
George Bickley Is the manager at
Omaha; the municipal employment
service will have charge in Lincoln;
J. Ed C. Fisher will take charge at
Beatrice; E. L. Gisinger at Grand
Island; Ernest Romero at North
Platte, and Frank Warner at Nor
folk. Hodge estimated Douglas county
had 15 thousand families unemploy
ed; Lancaster, three thousand; Lin
coln, 1,300; Hall, 1,300; Gage, five
hundred. He reckoned four persons
to a family. World-Herald.
Harold Meyers and son, David, of
Weeping Water, were in the city
Wednesday afternoon to look after
some matters of business and visiting
with friends for a few hours.

Prominent Catholic Layman and At
torney of Omaha, Gets
New Honor.
Francis P. Matthews, Omaha at
torney and one of the most active
and prominent Catholic laymen in
Nebraska, was elected Wednesday
deputy supreme knight of the Knights
of Columbus, second highest office
of the order in America.
News of his election came from
John E. Fitzpatrick of Omaha, state
deputy of the order, who with Mr.
Matthews is attending the national
Knights of Columbus convention in
Chicago, to Frank Bosanek, grand
knight of the Omaha council. The
election makes Mr. Matthews a log
ical choice for supreme knight, the
highest post, whenever a successor
shall be named to Martin H. Car
mody of Grand Rapids, Mich., who
on Wednesday was re-elected supreme
knight.
Mr. Matthews has reached his pres
ent eminence in the order through
successively holding all offices in the
local, district and state groups. He
has been grand knight of the Omaha
council, state deputy twice, and now
is a member of the supreme board of
directors, serving his third term. He
also was president of the building as
sociation which was responsible for
erection of the Knights of Columbus
club house at Omaha.
In 1924 he was designated a
Knight of St. Gregory by Pope Plus
XI in recognition of commendable
service to the church and state. He
is a member of St. Cecilia's cathedral
parish at Omaha.
WITNESS OF CUBAN FIGHT
Omaha. A witness to the last
stage of the Cuban rebellion, Her
man Gunther, Omaha contractor, ar
rived home from Havana Wednesday.
Mr. Gunther spent last Friday night
in Havana, having stopped there on
his way home from Panama. He saw
a once animated city paralyzed with
fear and hunger on every Cuban face.
That was the night before Presi
dent Machado fled into exile. When
Mr. Gunther's - boat docked, passen
gers were forbidden to go ashore. No
cargoes were unloaded and none tak
en on. The docks were deserted. The
silence was broken only once by a
terrific blast near the presidential
palace. Police had been trying to
operate one tram line in defiance of
the strikers. The strikers blew up
the tram, killing seven.
"This new man they've got as
president is the ma neverybody want
ed, there's no doubt about that," said
Gunther. There was no special ill
feeling against Americans in Ha
vana, Mr. Gunther said.
AIRMAIL ECONOMY SOUGHT
Washington. The postoffice de
partment announced that it had sum
moned airmail (carriers into a con
ference Aug. 24 to discuss the need
for reducing airmail expenditures so

allowed by congress. Last session,
congress, after much wrangling, cut
the total from 119,460,000 allowed
last year to 115,000,000 for the cur
rent twelve months.
The call for the new meeting was
issued by W. W. Howes, second as
sistant postmaster general in charge
of airmail, who said in a statement:
"Airmail carriers have been request
ed to meet with the postoffice depart
ment in Washington Aug. 24 with
a view to effecting a readjustment
of airmail rates and service in order
to keep within the amount given for
such service during the current gscal
year."
MISSOURI JOB HELD UP
Nebraska City, Neb. With, no
news of additional funds made avail
able at Washington, hope of continu
ing work on the Missouri river In
this region is fading rapidly. Sus
pension of activities on the river be-
tween St. Joseph, Mo., and Sioux
City, la., means the dismissal of about
sixty workers, according to C. C.
Cook, engineer in charge. Cook was
hopeful that new money would be
assigned to the project at the last
moment to allow continuance of the
work.
FEW CALLS FOR HELP
Omaha. Chairman Hird Stryker
of the Douglas county re-employment
committee said he is disappointed
that so few calls are received for help
from employers. Nineteen men were
given work Wednesday at Fort Om
aha, and two cooks and two machin
ists were placed.
