End of Dole at Hand with WPA to Stand Alone 3,500,000 Job Goal Will Ee Reached by Sunday, Officials at Wash ington. Announce. Asserting the goal of providing 3,500.000 jobs for the unemployed would be attained by Sunday, the ad ministration at Washington an nounced an abrupt halt in the flow cf further federal relief funds to the states. Parcelling out final, supplemental "dole" allotments to twenty-two states, the new deal relief spokes men declared that henceforth aside from the 3.500,003 on work relief all responsibility for the needy rests with the local governments. Complete liquidation of the fed eral emergency relief administration simultaneously was announced by aids of Harry L. Hopkins, as of Dec. 1. Hereafter, the works progress ad ministration will stand as the govern ment relief unit. 3 Billions Spent. The long heralded end of FERA, which has spent more than 3 billions since it was set up in May 1, 1933, came during the absence from the capital of both President Roosevelt and Hopkins. Both, however, were in touch with developments. The president earlier in the day, had declared in his At lanta speech that with 3,125,000 needy at work on last Wednesday, the job objective had been virtually at tained. Aubrey Williams, assistant chief of WPA and FERA, talked by telephone with Hopkins in New York city before receiving reporters and amending the president's statement. The entire 3,500,000, he announced, would be at work "by Saturday night." Williams conceded, however, that direct relief would be continued in December. That the allotments made Friday may be used next month for what has been called the "dole" was acknowledged even as he asserted that the twenty-two states not pre viously acted upon had "received their last allotment of federal funds by FERA." Two Problems Remain. Two problems still face ttie work relief high command, one transitory, the other permanent. They were: 1. Some able bodied needy must continue to receive the dole for a Home IT IS safe to say that ihere are few people to whoa the thought ol home Is not dear It stands for companionship, affection, shelter, a place where one can throw off the cares of the world and pursue one's own bent unhindered. It provides epportunity for mutual consideration unseiasliuess, and recljirocal respect for the feelings and opinions of oth ers perhaps aflorded in no other way. A home is indeed a sacred trust. There is probably nothing in our hu man experience whose influence is more formative. The risbt home at mosphere can do a great deal to off set inimical outside influences. Its training can help to plant integrity and uprightness in the youthful heart. Indeed, there are not many who can shake off in alter life the effects of a godly childhood home. Moreover, the atmosphere of a beautiful home is felt far beyond its own immediate precincts. People are naturally drawn to a household where happines3 and harmony reign. Having entered it, they can go their way with new inspiration, mentally refreshed and encouraged, and thus better equipped to deal with their own Individual problems. Such a tome may truly become as 'the sha dow of a great rock in a weary land.' Dear a3 home associations are, however, to thoss who can constantly share them, they are perhaps t-till more dear to those who are compelled to pass much or most of their lime away from such companionships. To day business conditions apparently demand that a vast number of indi viduals Ehall spend many tnontns of the year away from home. Not alone Is this the case, but the occupation of many necessitates constant travel, a continual moving from place to place which forbids any settled so journ for protracted periods of time. Such a mode of living may tend to be come somewhat unsettling, and may even engender a false sense of free dom from certain responsibilities. . . . No matter what a percon's earthly location may be, he who has grasped the fact of fcls spiritual at-one-ment with God knows that in reality he Is time in localities where job quotas have not been filled, while every where delay in actual payment ol work relief salaries will require sim ilar extensions of direct relief until paychecks are received. 2. About 4,000,000 unemployables the blind, crippled, widows with dependent children and others who are unable to work are to receive no further federal assistance and must depend on state and commun ities and the just starting social se curity pension system. With twenty-six states and the Dis trict of Columbia already cut off fed eral aid, twenty-two other states re ceived final allotments Friday, in cluding Nebraska. DENIAL MADE OF MARRIAGE San Francisco. Smiling Claudette Colbert of the films saw her travel ing companion, Dr. J. J. Pressman, battle with a photographer and then said. "How perfectly silly." The actress and her companion, booked as "Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Pressman." had traveled by airplane from Los Angeles. "We're not married," de clared Miss Colbert. The conflict broke out just after the plane landed at Mills field. Doc tor Pressman attempted to smash the camera of one of several news photographers. Blows were struck on both sides and knuckles were skinner. United Air Lines officials said the doctor, reported to be a New York scientist, and the actress, had tentative reservations for a return trip. Miss Colbert stepped from the plane in time to see the scuffle. Asked if she was going to marry Doctor Pressman, she said: "No, we are just friends." SHUT KEYSTONE DAM GATES North Platte. Platte Valley Pub lic Power and Irrigation district en gineers here Friday night announced the heavy sluice gates of the Key stone dam will be closed Saturday, marking the first step in actual oper ation of the district's project. The gates will be closed slightly more than a year after construc tion on the dam was started. The engineers said water back ing up behind the Keystone dam will make a two miles lake nine feet deep before water is turned into the canal system leading to the main reservoir. When the side gates into the canal are opened, they said, only a small flow will be permitted for a time un til the ditches are seasoned and test ed. always at home, dwelling in "the secret place of the most High," con stantly enfolded by the Father's love and care. Furthermore, he realizes th&t this same love and care also surrounds those who are dear to him, even though many leagues may lie between them, for there can be no actual separation when thought is at one with the understanding of spiritual reality. Mary Daker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, has expressed this thought most beautifully in one of her much loved hymns, where in speaking of the ever-presence of Infinite Lovo the writes (Poems, p. 4): "His habitation high Is here, and nigh. His arm encirlcles me, and mine, and all." It Is imposr.ible to estimate the num ber of people to whoa those lines have brought surcease from anxious thought, replacing any troubled sense with reassurance and comfort, when time and space have seem-id to separate them from those dear to them. The same arm of tender, om nipotent care enfolding all! Surely such confidence, 7ith its promise of no division, no severance. Its assur ance of but the one household of God held In His tender care, is worth striving for and attaining! The effect of realizing that man as the spiritual idea or child of God is always at home in divine conscious ness, cannot be overestimated. It supplies a new standard for ethics and morals. It provides a plumb line for righteous thinking and living by which each suggestion or situaton can be appraised. It is an impreg nable defense against temptation. Moreover, this realization of true manhood engenders genuine self-re-ppect, supplies poise and balance, and Imparts a consciourness of dominion over material conditions which can be gained in no other way. The as surance that "III3 habitation high 13 here, and nigh," and that every mo ment we can mentally abide in this secret place of Love's dwelling and there know the true tense of home, heals all feeling cf loneliness or iso lation. . . . The Christian Science Monitor. Farm Prospect Best in Years for the Entire State Cattle Fattening in the Sandhills Region and Hog: Production on the Upturn. Nebraska farmers race the winter and the coming year with greater optimism and better prospects for prosperity than in many years, agri culturists said. Sandhills cattle men realized about $S0,000,000 from stock sales during the four months ending Nov. 1, corn growers looked for an increase of nearly ?50, 000,000 from their crop as compared with the drouth produc tion last year and soil experts said the land was rich in plant food due to the protracted dry spell. A. E. Anderson, state and federal agricultural statistician, gloomed over the poor winter, wheat pros pects and attached three "ifs" to his prediction that "next year will be much better than this year and bet ter than it h:v? been for several vears." His "ifs": If there is plenty of moisture. If there is a reasonably average temperature. If there is a good price for crops. Prof. H. J. GramliLii. cTiief of the bureau of animal husbandry at the agricultural college, said farmers were making a determined effort to get livestock feeding back to normal of before 1934, when drouth took thousands of head of cattle off the farms. The state has large quantities of roughage, but most of it is low in protein content and farmers are turn ing it into ensilage. Wet weather thru the whole of November dar.i ( aged corn. It kept corn moist and soft, making it bad for feed. Nebraska Htockjgrowers associa tion reported 2.00C.S60 head of cattle moved out of the sandhill range coun try to major markets from July 1 to Nov 1, while nearly a million head changed hands at auctions. While cattle in other parts of the state were lying by the thousands for lack of feed, the sandhill growers watched their cattle fatten on the high grass of the region. Anderson estimated the 1'20,SGS, 000 bushel corn crop in the1 state will yield farmers about $6G,3 12.000 com pared to $19,013,000 for 2',363,000 bushel3 for the 1931 drouth year. Income from wheat was up about $20,000,000. Hog production, reduced to a minimum during the low price period, again is on the upturn. An derson pointed out. He '.-stimated the 30,290,000 bush els of what produced this year was worth ftl, 301,000, compared with 15,838,000 bushels produced in - worth $14,003,000. He said it was his opinion that all the available farm land in the state would be devoted to crop raising next year and said many farmers were pre paring to operate, land adjoining their own.

Women should take only liquid laxatives Many believe any laxative they might take only makes constipation worse. And that isn't true. Do what doctors do to relieve this condition. They use a liquid THREE STEPS 1T0 RELINKS ;rn rfc""flM'" A cleansing dose today; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until boivcls need no help at all. laxative, and keep reducing the dose until the bowels need no help at all. Reduced dosage is the secret of aiding Nature in restoring regularity. You must use a little less laxative each time, and that's why your laxa tive should be in liquid form. A liquid dose can be regulated to the drop. The liquid laxative generally used b Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
