Will Use City Water Heretofore the water used by the Union schools has been supplied from a pressure tank in the basement cf the school building, but with the passing of years, the tank has rust ed out and become leaky, so the board was confronted with the buying of another tank or using city water. The latter alternative was decided upon and Henry Becker was employ ed to cut out the old pressure tank remove it. making connections with the city water system, which solved the problem in most satisfactory man ner and will prove no more costly than supplying their own pressure system. Will Open Quarry A. L. Becker, who has an immense amount of excellent stone on his land along the Missouri river just north of where thekO street road cnd3 at the river bank, is havLng the ; stone stripped and made ready for quarry ing, should it be desired. There is a single ledge of stone eighty feet in height from the water's edge, which should provide a great abundance of ?tone for ti : government's river de velopment program and is so located that it can be leader! right onto the barges and transported to the exact spot where it will bo used, thus doing away with the necessity of handling it two or three times before getting it on the job.

River Improve ment Work is Lessening Here Many of the Force of Men at Work Are Temporarily Laid Off for Next Few Weeks. Nebraska's county agents, besieged with farmer inquiries about the corn- heg reduction program cleaned up their desk3 a bit Sunday ready to bring the farmers' questions to the state committee in a conference which will open here Monday. The conference will open the way to setting up temporary machinery to get the corn-hog program started The state committee considered de tails of the program Saturday and recommended selection of committees of from three to five members in every county to aid in the preliminary administrative difficulties. County agents and eergency agri cultural assistants, who did most of the directing of the wheat reduction program in the counties, have been called in to work on the corn-hog pro gram. Most of the county agents have barely bleaned up work on the wheat program and some of them still have to see that checks get out to farmers and close out other details of the program. They have been pestered by per icu3 employed to help them because the federal government has not got ten around to providing fund3 for au thorized help to aiders in the wheat control program. They have been bothered by farmers who went in on the wheat program and ones who didn't. Their office time has been In terrupted in the last two weeks by in quiries about corn loans, and requests for information on the corn-hog re duction plan. Most of them are weeks behind in their regular work and looked to the meetings to begin Monday as a joint blesssing and curse. The meeting: may solve many of the questions put to them daily by interested farmers. But they take the agents away from their offices where both current and back duties are pressing for attention. The Missouri improvement work at this point has slackened consider ably in the last week as the condition of the river and the approach of the winter season made necessary the suspension of work in many of the activities that have employed a large force of men. It is expected that the work will be resumed In the next six weeks or two months and then be continued on until the job is completed. The force engaged in the rock quarries are still working at their full force to get out rock that will be used in the river work and the layoff will allow the accumulation of a great deal of the rock for use when the work is again resumed. The Farney company will take ad vantage of the opportunity to have their machinery overhauled and placed in the best of shape during the next few weeks and be all ready for service when it is possible to get into work again.
