Suggestions for Your Thanksgiving Dinner While retaining certain of its orig inal characteristics, the Thanksgiving dinner of today is much saner and simpler than it was in earlier days. Standards of nutrition and health have changed since Thanksgiving day was inaugurated, as a consequence our dinners today are less heavy but may be just as satisfying as those cf former day. Pleasing decorations and color scemes do much to make the meal attractive, but the tradi tional turkey dinner with all the trimmings still mean much to the American people. Extension Circular 975. "Suggestions for the Thanks giving Dinner" and Cir. 999, "Roast ing a Turkey," containing many re cipes and suggestions for the Thanks giving dinner aie available at the Farm Bureau office. Parity Price for Corn and Hogs Th? main object of the corn-hog adjustment plan will be to restore parity price cn the two crops for farmers who sign the contracts to re duce their production, A. G. Black cf the corn-hog section of the agri cultural adjustment administration in Washington says. He believes the goal can be reached by adjusting the supply cf corn and pork to the pres ent demand. "The real task we face today," Dr. Black says, "i3 one of striking a new balance of supply and demand. When ! farmers of any nation La.ve ever con sidered. The corn-hog application blank and contract will be offered Nebraska corn and hog growers In the next few weeks will be one piece of paper and as short and simple as possible, according to present plaas of the corn-hog section of the agricultural adjustment administration. Tha con tract is now being drawn up in final form after a series cf four regional conferences in the corn belt. Under present provisions, a farmer who signs the contract agrees to re duce corn acreage 20 per cent and hog numbers 25 per cent. Should a man grow one and not the other, he can sign up for the one he produces. If he grows less than ten acre3 of corn, he may sign up the hog part of the contract but not the corn. If he produced three or less litters per year during the base period, he may sign up the corn part of the contract but not the hog. In either cae, he agrees not to increase production of the other crop. Since the corn and hog adjustment is combined in one contract, farmers who sign un will form one production control rssoci.iticm to administer the plan within their county. Cost of local administration will be taken out of the corn and hog benefit payments on a pro-rata basis which is yet to be determined. In making out the contract, the grower will fill out the first part of the blank and sign it as the appli cation, then the county allotment committee will summarize the figures and the grower will sign the last page again to make the contract binding. Nehawka this new balance is finally struck, the Feed Pnlhts Balanced Ration Many tolks report that their pul lets have begun to come into produc tion. A Avord cf warning is that un less they are being properly fed and housed a good cold snow flurry of a .veck's duration would find the pro ducers wondering why their pullets have stopped laying and the price of eggs has gone up. It takes a ration similar to the following one with plenty of scratch grains such as corn and wheat fed especially just before roosting time I to keep these pullets going in spite of cold weather: disparity between farm prices andjYelow cornmpal the prices of other thing3 will di Ground wheat appear.

All farmers would iike to have that fair exchange valus re stored a3 it was before the war. The corn-hog adjustment plan is a chance for corn belt farmers to co operate with one another in reducing the supply to the present demand. No farmer can afford to cut down his! own operations while the others raise all the corn and hogs they possibly can raise, but if the majority of corn and hog producers ctand with their neighbors in favor of trying to solve the knotty problem, it will be solved. Since the ccrn-hog combination pro duces the major cash income of corn belt farmers, tha proposed corn-hog adjustment plan is likely to be the greatest co-operative undertaknig Salt 400 lbs. 200 lbs. 100 lbs. 100 lbs. 52 lbs. 125 lbs. 25 lbs. 10 lbs. 1,010 lbs.

Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Rough were in Crete laft Sunday, where they en joyed a visit at the home of their daughter. Mrs. D. II. Wilson and family. They made the trip in their car and found the road and weather ideal for traveling. Arthur Trunkenbolz, of Lincoln, a pember of the Trunkenbolz Oil com pany, which operates filling stations in Lincoln, Eagle, Elmwocd, Nehaw ka and Union, was looking after some business matters for the company in Nehawka last Monday. W. J. Wunderlieh was a visitor in Plattsmouth and Omaha, going to lock after sonie'business matters con nected with the fam loan portion of the government's vast plan to speed the return of prosperity and grant relief to the farmers who are badly in need of assistance. C. Steffens and wife, of Lorton, were visiting for the day last Sun day at the home of D. Steffens, a brother of the former, and at the home of J. II. Steffens, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Steffens. They also visited at the heme of their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Anderson and family. O. Lundberg was preparing for the winter which is on the way by mak ing and hanging storm door3 at the home so that the brunt of the wintry blast might be broken before it at tacks the interior. The lumber man can assist you materially in keeping your home comfortable during the cold weather, as well as the fuel man and the saving you will be able to effect on coal consumption will be sufficient to take care of a large part of the cost of providing storm doors and windows. The shifts are operated according to NBA requirements, which allows each man a limited number of hours per week, with a wage sufficient to provide the necessities of life and en ables them not to have to become beneficiaries of a dole. Hotel Tcrce cn Sick List At the Nehawka Hotel, the women folks have been on the sick list and unable to do the work required, so they were forced to cease serving Mrs. Edna Tucker and Mrs. Henry Pollard were all over to Lincoln on Tuesday of t:i:s week, where they were guests for the day nt the home of Mrs. J. W. Magney and daughter, Doris. They all enjoyod the trip and their visit very much, they being taken over to the big city by W. S. Norris in his auto. Bfflim CP Will Give Operetta.

Unable to Find Home Claude Lane, who is the new man ager of the Trunkenbolz interests in Nehawka, is unable to find a place here in which to live, and is still making his home in Union. A similar condition exists there, where there is also not a single vacant house. This speaks well for the two sister towns, as well as the fact that most of the people residing in the two towns are employed. With the conclusion of corn picking there may be a few out cf work, but on the whole the two towns have fared ery nicely so far a3 work is concerned. Instituting Two Shifts The Tobin Quarries, Incorporated, who are operating a stone quarry on land belonging to R. C. Pollard north west of Nehawka, have been hustling and leading something ever two cars of stone per day, but the demand is greater than they could supply with one shift, so they are putting on as other crew and will operate with two crews, one shift working during the morning and another during the af ternoon. This will increase produc tion cne hundred per cent and result In the loading of about five cars per day. Most of the labor in and about Nehawka is now employed and the Increase in force now being under taken will absorb the remainder of those who are now wanting work. The stone is being used in river de velopment work and the demand will continue throughout the winter thus giving work to many men at a time when ordinarily most common labor Is idle. Serving on Jury J. II. Steffens was the one from Nehawka precinct chosen for service on the petit jury for the November term of district court which opened at Plattsmouth Monday.
