A quarter-million greetings, six thousand parties and a presidential address to the nation thi3 was President Roosevelt's birth anniversary. The greetings by mail and wire from the far corners of the nation and world extended a "happy birthday" on the 52nd anni versary. The parties had the dual purpose of celebration and creating a fund for the treatment of infantile paralysis victims. The presidential address was a thanks to the weil wishers r.nd dolors to the Warm Springs foundation fund. Mr. Roosevelt said lie spoke as the representative of the hundreds of thousands of crippled children in the country. He stressed the need of sup port and interest of the citizens in the crippled children, many of whom he said are not receiving attention. "Let U3 well remember," said the president, "that every child and in deed every perron who is restored to useful citizenship is an asset to the country and is enabled 'to pull his own weight in the boat.' In the long run, by helping this work we are not contributing to charity but we are contributing to the building up of a sound nation." Gifts heaps of them were piled in the while house study of the pres ident. Cakes were in abundance, from a 250-pound size down. The birthday balls ranged from affairs of splendor in big New York hotels to a little gathering of fifteen in an Illi nois hamlet ,and the proceeds all went to the Warm Springs founda tion which the president himself formed after he had begun at the Georgia spa his fight back to health. The negroes of the south matched the white folks' enthusiasm. Added to te money pouring into the fund from the proceeds of the birthday parties were individual con tributions, one of them a gift of $50, 000. The United States senate sent its formal greeting to the president. It adopted a resolution offered by Senator Robinson, the democratic; leader. American colonies in foreign cities also held dances to celebrate the occasion. Unabie to restrain his eagerness, Mr. Roosevelt left the executive of fice for a few minute3 at noon to look over the mammoth heap cf gifts piled up in the executive offices. Af ter the regular businss day he sat down to a birthday party in the white house with his "buddies of 1920," a birthday custom that has prevailed since that year when he ran for vice president. Intimate members of te white house staff joined Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter, Mrs. Anna Curtis Dall, in the celebration. "Louie," "Mac" and "Steve" Louis M. Howe, Mar vin II. Mclntyre, and Stephen Early secretaries to the president, form ed the nucleau of th 1920 "gang."

Order Tree Seedlings Now to Plant in Spring Many farmsteads in Cass county are sadly lacking in the beauty or well selected and well placed trees, both for ornament and shade, and for windbreaks which serve to pro tect the buildings and lawns from cold winter winds and snow. For the ?mall amount of $1.00 per hundred you can secure a maximum of 400 trees for a windbreak and 1000 trees for woodlct planting. Many of the evergreen and broadleaf varieties ob tainable are suitable to use as back ground and even ornamental plant ings near the farm home. It will pay you to invest a dollar in one variety of trees at least, this pring. For two dollars or more you can get two or more varieties which would give you an advantage by being able to plant one row of broadleaf trees, which are more rapid growing than the ever green and which serve to protect the evergreens until they are big enough to continue their growth alone. Stanley Prenosil of New York, Thom as M. Lynch of New York, and James Sullivan of Boston. A telegram of birthday greetings from Alabama citizens to President Roosevelt, signed by 40,000 persons and 120,000 words in length, was delivered late in the day. TO DROP POIIGEEY CHARGES Omaha.

Put Federal Hatcherr Code in Operation Progress of putting the federal hatchery cede into operation in Ne braska is marking time pending the results of a meeting at Clinton, Mis souri last week attended by six Ne braska hatcherymen. In the mean time district educational meetings on the code have been completed in Ne braska, J. R. Redditt, extension poul tryman at the Nebraska agricultural college, reported. He also announced the arrival of new rulings which af fect hatcherymen and farmers in this state. Farmers who use eggs produced on their own farms and hatch them in incubators there and sell less than 500 chicks per year are exempt from the code, Redditt has been informed. The original ruling declared all farm ers hatching 500 chicks or more came under the code restrictions. Another new ruling indicates that small hatchery operators, 83 farmers, do not need to charge $30 per week against their chick3 in their cost of production as an operator's cost as first rulings ware interpreted. Rath er they are allowed to charge 37 cents per nour for all time required in uatcbing the chicks. Any person whose time Is divided between the hatchery businsss aad other lines of work is ruled a small operator. The farmer's wife comes under this classi fication. Nebraska hatcherymen. under the code, cannot cell chicks bslow cost of production. The minimum is per hundred. Only permission from the co-ordinating committee will al low reductions in prices. Find Farm Account Socks Invaluable Ninety farm record kepcra have started work on their 1934 books. Many in this list have never kept a farm record book but have decided that their farming business require3 a more complete and accurate book keeping system than ths hit-and-miss system usually employed. The farm account books placed by the extension service are simple and easy to keep yet furnish a complete and accurate information about the farm busincps. Farmers who are signing up for the corn-hog program have found their firm account, bocks invaluable as well as being great time savers. It is not too late to start a farm ac count beck fcr 1934.
