State Case Work Supervisor to Di
rect Four Branches of Work;
Joint Announcement.
Irl D. Tolen, state assistance di
rector, and Mrs, Maud E. Nuquist,
state child welfare director, in a joint
statement Friday announced Miss
Mildred Kiklen, case work super
visor, will be in charge of field super
visors who will investigate depend
ent children, old age assistance, blind
pension, and relief cases in counties.
The announcement was the result
of a formal opinion obtained Thurs
day by Tolen in which the attorney
general's office ruled the field super
visors could be used on a 11 four ac
tivities. The dependent children pro
gram, however, will remain under the
direction of the state child welfare
bureau and will not come under the
jurisdiction of the state assistance
administration as indicated Thurs
day by Tolen.
Following a conference with Wash
ington officials, Tolen and Mrs. Nu
quist announced they agreed Miss
Bilken will be responsible to the as
sistance director for old age assis
tance, blind assistance, and relief ac
tivities, and to the child welfare di
rector for aid to dependent children.
Field supervisors, meanwhile, will
be selected by the case supervisor and
approved by the state assistance di
rector and the state child welfare di
rector. "The state child welfare bu
reau," the joint statement continued,
"will retain the child welfare special
ists on its staff to administer crip
pled children and child welfare ser
vices and the other duties of the bu
reau. These fields are reserved ex
clusively to it. A part of the develop
ment of the child welfare bureau will
be the setting up in certain coun
ties of demonstration units for child
welfare." The plan, as now contem
plated, "should mean a better quality
of work in all phases of the pro
grams," the statement read.

Threshing at the E. F. Marshal
farm, which was being done Wed
nesday of last week, showed a yield
of about 23 bushels to the acre, and
the grain was of very good quality.
Daniel Rueter had the misfortune
to lose one of his faithful horses one
day last week. The hot, dry weather
has been plenty hard on animals as
well as human beings.
Guy Hinds and the family were
enjoying a visit at Avoca last Sun
day, being guests at the home of Dr.
and Mrs. J. W. Brendel. They got
home ahead of the dust storm and
were well pleased they were not out
on the road when it struck.
Alexander Jones, who resides near
South Bend and has been having dif
ficulty getting enough water for his
stock, had a new well dug, which at
the very shallow depth of thirteen
feet produced an abundance of good
water, and it seems it cannot be
pumped dry.
Mrs Seward Day was a visitor here
for a few days with the rural mail

from here to Denver and other points

Mrs. W. A. Jones and daughter,
Miss Hazel, of near South Bend,
who have been visiting at Los An
geles for some time, are returning
home this week after having enjoy
ed a very pleasant visit. They made
the trip, both going and coming, via
the Union Pacific on one of their air
conditioned trains and found travel
ing in this manner most comfortable.
There was no tire trouble or run
ning out of gasoline either. They had
a very pleasant visit in the west.
Decided Not to Go
L. R. Stanley and John C. Browne
were planning on going to Topeka
for the notification ceremonies last
Thursday when Governor Alf Lan
don was to be informed (as if he al
ready didn't know it) that the re
publicans have chosen him as their
candidate for president, but after
due consideration abandoned the
idea, as Mr. Stanley was busy with
his duties as postmaster and Mr.
Browne was likewise busy taking
care of the incoming wheat at the
elevator. They were able to hear the
proceedings over the radio without
having to make' a hot and dusty trip
to Topeka, as did thousands from the
middle west, in fact all over the na
tion. Visited Friends Here
Clement Clarke, a former Wabash
boy, who has been making his home
in Omaha, accompanied by Edward
Carey, were visitors here last Sun
day, coming down from the metrop
olis to visit with Pias H. Clarke, a
brother of the former. They found
him busy threshing at the farm of
Frank Marshall, but he joined them
in a visit at Weeping Water, where
a most pleasant time was had.

ed south wind it soon began to "stink
to high heavens" making conditions
not the most comfortable for the peo
ple of Wabash and so Warren had to
go and bury the long time friend.
Have Returned to Wabash
Clifford Browne and the family,
who have been making their home
at Maryville, Mo., for the past two
years, moved back to Wabash again
last week and are now nicely settled
in their old home town. Mr. Browne
has secured employment with the
Ole Olsen quarries at Weeping Wat
er, where he is now working.
In company with the family, they
were all over to Havelock last Sun
day, where they visited at the home
of his brother, William Browne and
family.
What Do You Think of This?
Now comes the report of a local
dealer in automobiles who handles
many of the leading brands, of find
ing sales for seven cars last Monday.
If this is so, where is the money
coming from for the winter's coal,
clothing for the family and other
necessities? Of course, the automo
bile is essential and in many in
stances has taken the place of Old
Dobbin. But the sale of seven cars
in a single day in a rural district
such as this seems to us rather out
of the ordinary.
DOING VERY NICELY
Miss Rose Prohaska, member of the
faculty of the city schools, who was
operated on Wednesday at the Meth

ported as doing very nicely. Miss
Prohaska has been suffering from ap

PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JQ$E2UI
Wild Life is
Worth a Billion
to the Nation
H. W. Whitaker Says, "Good Wild
Life Cover Is Good Erosion
Control Cover."
One and one-half billion dollars!
That's the annual value of the na
tion of fish, birds and game animals,
recent surveys show.
"The wild life crop," says II. W.
Whitaker, regional director of the
wild life management division of the
soil conservation service in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Nebraska, "makes a
real contribution to the utilization
of low priced submarginal lands and
supplements the income value of at
tractiveness of higer priced and."
Protecting wild life is recognized
as one of the best possible ways to
protect soil, he points out. The best
erosion control is usually vegetative.
The best wild life management is
usually the improvement of the vege
tative good and cover. Good wild life
cover is good erosion control cover.
"There is," says Whitaker, "a per
fect sqnehronization of the interests
involved in the problem of soil con
servation and wild life conservation."
The value of game crop produced
can be used to partially justify the
cost of many erosion control meth
ods, farmers are told. Increase from
wild life can be used to help pay
taxes on forest lands or to supple
ment the low incomes of submar
ginal farms.
Erosion control programs, it is ex
plained benefit wild life by conserv
ing water and soil, by increasing the
organic layer of forests and fields and
by encouraging more grass and
shrubs which the land has as cover.
