W. Propst ouilding at Union where there has-been some store equipment stored, among it a cash register, there was stolen a few nights ago the register. Just what a thief would want of a cash register at this time when very few people are in need of such an accessory to their business is rather hard to understand. However, they probably had in mind selling it for a few doll ars, and it is the people who buy such questionable goods at give-away prices who do more to encourage thievery than any one else. If caught, they should be made equally guilty with the one who actually does the stealing, although in most cases they are able to build up an alibi that kccp3 them out of trouble.

Stole Gas from Railroad Besides the gasoline and a pail that were stolen from the Standard Oil company, there was also seme fifty gallons of gas stolen from the Mis souri Pacic railroad as well. Numer ous thefts lately have led to a declara tion of war on all such miscreants and someone will wake up with a n'ce lead of buckshot in their anat omy. Better watch your step, all you petty thieves, or you will be caught in the act. Will laake Civic Improvement Steps have been taken for the be ginning of Lnions civic works pro ject, which received approval of the tate CWA board at Lincoln Monday evening.

Married men with dependents and men on the charity relief roll arc first in line for the new jobs created, but with a nice allotment given to Union for its street work project, there should be snffici ent work for all who really desire to v.crk. The total amount alloted to Union was $1,700 for street work and $640 for schcel improvement and that willi pay for a good many man-hours at 40 cents per hcur. To Cdcfcratc Thanksgiving The Baptist church and Bible schcel cf Union are to serve dinner at the church building as they have a splendid dir.ing room and at the same tine they will give a very pleas ant prcgram from 11 to 12 o'clock, which will be a dramatization of the Beck cf Ruth and which the young pacple have turned into a very fine play, and one which no one should miss. Advised cf Sister's Death J. Clayton Gurl, who has made his heme in the vicinity of Union for many years, recently received a sad message, informing him of the death :f his sister, Mrs. Charles Grant, cf near Fairplay, Mo., who passed away at the age of sixty-one years.

Visited Friends Here Conductor Perry, who for many years was a familiar figure in Union, serving the Missouri Pacific on their branch line between here and Lin coln, but who has been retired on a pension for some time because of old age and his long years of service with the company, was here last Sunday evening, coming down from his home in Lincoln to visit with friends and renew old acquaintances.

Banning, state senator frcm the second district, and a can- Kley yE!i pys etin-here- and grab yourself a new Suit A Hocey Bargain for a Quality Sui $3,2-5 $17'S0 Overcoats, $7.50, $9.75 and 12.50 didate for governor, accompanied by Mrs. Banning were visitors in Lincoln last Saturday, taking in the Iowa-Ne braska foctbal game, which was won by the Cornhuskers. Mr. Banning is receiving much en couragement from friends all over the state since announcing his candidacy for governor, and certainly there is no better qualified man in the state to hold this responsible office, his long experience in public affairs giv ing him a keen insight into the needs of the state. Married by the 3uge Judge Phillip F. Rihn was called upon to officiate at a wedding on last Wednesday, November 15th, which was duly performed .by the genial magistrate. The parties who were joined in wedlock were Miss Delene Eaton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Caleb Eaton, and a young woman of high character and many fine accom plishments, and Howard Kennell, a young man residing near Nebraska City. Their attendants were Miss James and Herbert Eaton. This was the first adventure in the tying of a nuptial knot by Judge Rihn who is to be congratulated on the clever manner In which he performed the nuptial rites. With his fame now established, it is highly probable he will be called upon again and often to perform similar services for other young couples seeking to consumate their life's happiness. TOWN TEAM WINS GAME From Wednesday's Daily The Piattzmoum 'lu-.-.a team last evening had a practice game with the team of the Service Co., cf the 17th infantry at Fo:t Crook and in which the locals were winners by the score of 88 to 4. Ths town team showed up well and gives promise of being an organiz ation that can take on the best of the basketball teams in this part of the country and one that has speed and plenty of scoring power. Robert Rummel, foimer high school star, v.as one of th& forwards, and led the scoring, with Louis Knofiicek and Sam Arn as his co-forwards in the game, all looking good. Joe Krejci, was again a wizard at the guard and center positions and placed a large number of baskets. Clarence Forbes, former all state high school guard, played his usual brilliant game and has lost none of the fire of his high school days. The team expects to secure dates with many of the .leading teams here and that are touring over the country and with their showing should have good crov.d3 out to see their games. Henry Donat, center, suffered an injured ankle during the practice game and was forced to retire from the game, but should be back in shape for the next practice.

The first step in obtaining me 45 ent loan on ear corn is to have the crib inspected, sealed and certified Uiider provision of the Nebraska ware- curing law, the State Railway Com mission, which administers the ware housing law, advises. Tho commis sion has appointed V. B. Banning of Union a ixal inspector in this coun- y. Mr. Banning has the application b!ai ks and some additional informa tion. He will be glad to answer quc-.i- icr.s for farmers who want to know more about getting the loan3. What the Farmer Gets: Forty-five cents a bushel on merchantable ear corn stored on the farm. Previous in formation lead 'Nebraska people to believe that both shelled corn and ear corn would be acceptable, uut the shelled corn in bins will not be considered. What the Farmer Must Do: 1. Sign agreement to reduce corn and hogs according to corn-hog pro gram. 2. Pay 4 per cent interest on the loan. 3. Have stored corn sealed and warehouse certificate issued by coun ty warehousing board. 4. Pay off loan at any time desired, or if price of corn goes down and the borrower prefers to let the govern ment take the corn, he can discharge the obligation in full by shelling corn and delivering it at nearest elevator at time set by government after Aug ust 1, 1934. When Loans Will Be Available: Ware house boards are being set up now. Loans will be made as soon as loan blanks arrive, probably on or about December 1. Corn pledged must be of the Flint or Dent Variety in the ear, must be of merchantable nualitv to grade not less than No. 4 and must be stored in a sound crib, tightly roofed and floored and sealed under the Nebraska Farm Storage Act, as evidenced by a properly issued negotiable certificate. Some of the pertinent questions re garding the corn loan are answered by Secretary Wallace as follows: Q. Can we borrow on 1933 corn as well as old corn? A. Ye3. Q. Can a man who bought corn for speculation borrow? A. No. A farmer can borrow only on corn stored on his own farm, and the corn must be some he has raised himself or has bought for feeding pur poses. A corn speculator who tries to get a loan will lay himself open to criminal prosecution. Q. If I want a loan how do I go about it? A. Call up your local warehouse board or sealer, and ask to have your crib measured and sealed. The seal er, after making sure that crib is weather-proof and after measuring the contents, will furnish informa tion to the ,board so that you will be issued a warehouse certificate for the corn. Take the federal loan blank which will be obtainable by Decem ber 1, from sealers, county agents, county corn-hog' committees, ware house, boards and others, make out the application and take it to the local bank. In practically all cases, the local bank will take this paper, altho no handling charges are per mitted the bank. The borrower gets the full 45c a bushel less probably some small charge for sealing and a 25-cent charge for recording the cer tificate. Q. What if corn goes up as a re sult of a big sign-up for corn acre age reduction and I want to sell? A. Go ahead and sell, and pay off the loan plus 4 per cent interest. Q. What if corn goes down below 45 cents? A. It won't if we have a big sign up on corn acreage. But if torn should go down, and a farmer still has the corn on August 1, 1934, he can shell it and deliver to the ac count of the government at the near est shipping point. That will relieve him of all obligations. He must await federal instructions at to tmie of de livery, however. Q. But if corn drops to 30c, and I turn the corn over, won't the govern ment try to collect the 15 cents dif ference? A. No. If you deliver the bushels of corn called for in the certificate, your obligation is ended. Th govern ment is taking the chance that farm ers will be sensible enough to sign up for corn reduction on such a scale that we won't have 30-cent corn I again.
