There is not "one chance in a million," New York doc tors said, that the identity of babies could be mixed in hospitals of the metropolis. Modern infant identifica tion research has seen to that, with an aim ultimately of developing per manent records. Dr. M. L. Fleming, general superintendent of the New York City department of hospitals, said he could "not recail in 20 years that there has b?en a baby mixup here." Foot printing, palm printing and finger printing arc the newest identification methods, authorities said, and are supplementary to more universaily-usid systems. The r.ur-sery-nurae bead necklace perhaps is most common, but numbered brace lets of metal in a thoose-your-prico ctyle, brackets or anklets of adhesive tape, adhesive! tabs lor the baby's back, painting effected with dyes in a solution of silver nitrate, stencil ing with ultra-violet rays, and even conventional blanket tags are em ployed. We will appreciate our readers Phone details to No. 6. Dairy Congress at Waterloo to be Huge Show New and Larger "Premiums Offered in Classes of Iowa Event Many to Attend. Waterloo, la. A 1936 dairy cattle congress that will remind seasoned visitors and exhibitors of the free and easy pre-cash days of 1929 is in pros pect CO days before the gates open, Sept. 2S. "More commercial exhibitors space has been sold than ever before at this date," says E. S. Estel, secretary manager of the congress. "It is hazardous to make a prediction as to attendance at this time, but with the greatly increased seating capacity of the new hippodrome and the added space made possible by the new sad dle horse barn and the enlarged poul try building, a record breaking crowd fs expected." Showmen the nation over of Hol stein, Guernsey, Jersey, Brown, Swiss and Ayrsire cattle and Belgian horses are expected to congregate at the Congress, with premiums the highest since '29. Entries are already ar riving. Cattle and horse premiums are up 15 percent over 1935. In one breed, the Brown Swiss, the highest premiums in the history of the breed will be awarded. A new group class, three generations of females, will make its entry in all five cattle breed events. The continued strong market for purebred draft horses in the past two years and rising prices at present will doubtlessly hike the entrance list of the national Belgian horse show. Under the lure of attractive prem iums and special awards, record show ings of poultry and waterfowls are predicted for the international wa terfowl exposition and the American poultry congress. The management fears drouth con ditions will injure the corn, alfalfa, end soybean shows, but since entries come from all midwtstern states these divisions are expected to be close to normal, ith unusually live interest indicated from all quarters, the women's events are expected to surpass all previous records. 4-H club participation will be at least as grea as in previous years, according to Ernest M. Wright. CHILDREN NEED NOT BEG State Child Welfare Director Nu quist advised Nebrasqans to refrain from patronizing children who are "canvassing offices and calling from door to door all over the state to sell paper flowers, needles, pencils and other miscellaneous articles." "This practice constitutes begging, in a sense, and oftentimes leads to de linquency," she said. "It teaches the children to prey upon the sym pathies of society, which often re sults in chronic dependency." Most of the children, she said, are "exploited" by transient parents, who should be discouraged "from moving around over the country because the children cannot be in school and em ployment is not easily found by the parents."

Except for some of the southwest ern counties and those bordering the Wyoming line, crop conditions on the southern border and panhandle coun ties are not much better than in eastern Nebraska, says the tiate-fed-eral statistician upon returning from a trip thru that territory with E. H. Hoppert of the extension ser vice. Reports from the sandhills in dicate fairly good conditions. Irri gated spots are showing up well. Drouth and the blister beetle have done very serious injury to dry land potatoes in western Nebraska. Conditions in south central Ne braska are about the same as in eastern Nebraska The worst con ditions are in the counties east of a north and south line thru Boyd, Holt, Wheeler, Custer, Gosper, lied Willow counties, and the dry land farming sections of the panhandle counties. The balance of the state will average up a little better. The sandhills and parts of southwestern Nebraska are somewhat better. In general, irrigated sections are very good. Nebraska may have to depend to a considerable extent on irrigated sections for seed corn, unless the small amount of old corn fit for seed is saved. There is considerable green corn but it is late and stunted and it is problematical how much grain this could make even with plenty of rain at once. Most opinions indicate that this green corn could develop into a fair corn for fodder with per haps a sprinkle of grain. Some are of the opinion that considerable for age could be secured from millet sown immediately if we received plenty of rain from now on. Most of the sorghum and sudan forage would recover, altho some of it is damaged severely. Cattlemen in Fair Shape Cattlemen in the sandhills are in pretty good sliape, according to F. j M. Broome, secretary of Nebraska Stock Producers association. Altho wild hay, according to Mr. Broome, is not up to the average, this year's crop, together with the carryover, will more than exceed a normal crop. He reports that cattlemen can main tain their stock if prices are unsat isfactory and that there is hay and range for additional cattle. The range and pasture situation in much of southwestern Nebraska is also quite satisfactory. An irrigated area around Culbert son and the North Platte valley are the garden spots of the state. There was more than the usual loss of sugar beets in the North Platte valley but the present condition of the crop is good. There was a little shortage of irrigation water but substantial rains in the valley in the past few days have improved the situation greatly. Stands of potatoes are not up to nor mal. Aside from this the crop looks good. Beans are showing up well. The alfalfa hay crop is good. More corn than usual was planted and the condition is very promising. Gardens, which have been extremely short thruout the entire state, are very good in the irrigated valley. Dry land potatoes in western Ne braska have been injured severely by drouth and the blister beetle. This beetle has injured a considerable percentage of the acreage of the dry land potatoes, the plants being eaten to the ground in some cases. Some fields have started to grow again and might yet make a fair potato crop if it would rain immediately. Up to Monday night, there was no rain in the dry land potato sections in the panhandle. Jdany Grasshoppers. Grasshoppers are apparently pres ent thruout the state. The damage varies considerably from one section to another. In many plac:s, entire fields or corn have been destroyed. They are also doing injury to alfalfa and certain kinds of trees. Farmers are anticipating considerable injury to fall wheat and rye and if the sea son is favorable for grasshoppers next year, most serious injury may be ex pected unless statewide measures arc taken to destroy this insect. Many farmers are poisoning grasshoppers but there are too many who are not doing anything. Poison bait should be available and the 'grasshoppers destroyed as soon as they are hatch ed to gt the most effective use of the poison and in order to get them before they scatter. Some farmers are digging trench silos. Corn is so short that it is yield ing very little ensilage. Had all "CiipicTs Special" Reno Bound! I .lg!r (tTED y.

Not I National Twin Convention Expected to Attract 1,500 Contest to Select Most Identical Pair Feature of Annual Gathering J i ?iZT - ' rgsr5j.&g By J. A. BORS International Illustrated Kcivs Feature Writer Vort "Wayne. Indiana "Double Trouble" might well be the theme song of a gathering scheduled for Tier's Amusement park here August 29 and ;:0. Those arc the dates set for the fifth annual convention of the Na tional Twins association, an organi zation comprised of hundreds of twins from all parts of the I'nited States and Canada. One of the fea tures of the convention will be a con test to determine the most identical twins, triplets and quadruplets. Approximately 1.500 delegates are expected to intend the conclave this year to top all previous convention attendance records. Eventually, the organization hopes to enroll groups in every state as well as all Canadian provinces. The present membership is comprised of twins and triplets in a dozen states and several Canadian cities. Founded Five Years Ago The association was founded five years ago by E. M. Clink, of Silver Lake, Intl., president of the organi zation. Other national officers are Donald Woodyard of Claypool, Ind., vice president, and Anna Zimmer of Osceola, Ind., secretary.

There will be a basket picnic for delegate:; and visi tors at noon em the opening day. According to a cur-torn established in earlier conventions, if a jwrson prefers the lunch in another basket, he may obtain it merely by asking the owner for it. Following the picnic there will be a program of stunts by various twins and triplets and speeches by promi nent visitors. The program, v. hich begins at 2 p. m., includes the fea ture attraction, a contest for prizes in various divisions. Prizes will be awarded to the most identical female twins, oldest and younge-$l twins and twins who traveled the greatest dis tance tto attend the convention. There will also lie prizes for. trip lets and quadruplets.
