He gets the water from Nehawka, hav large tank of seven hundred gallon capac ity rigged up on his truck. The new tank which he has purchased for storage and for the cattle to drink from will also have lead pipes to the hog troughs, so the water can be turned into them without having to carry it, thus providing plenty of water for the 75 head of hogs he is feeding.

WPA May Pro vide Community with a Band State Director Billy Meyers, in Charge of This Work, Visits in City Tuesday Afternoon. The proposition that is offered un- der the WPA recreational program for bands and musical groups train ed and paid for their services was discussed Tuesday afternoon by Billy Meyers of Omaha, state director of these activities with a number of local civic bodies. This plan of providing employment has been very successful in many places and those who have been enj rolled have been formed into bands and other musical groups that have been of the greatest benefit in the training of the members and in tke furnishing of musical entertainment. The members of the organization are taken from those who have been certified for employment on govern ment works, selecting those who have had musilal experience that they may wish to improve or musicians who are in need of the work afforded by this branch of the WPA. The various groups are provided with in structors who will see that they are given thorough instruction. The members of the group are to rehearse a certain number of hours each day and for which they are to be paid. Persons who are not certified on the re-employment rolls, may play with the organization if they wish for the instruction, but will not be I paid for their services. The plan where tried hqs proven very successful, and Omaha has a band as well as a symphony orches tra that have been in training fori. several months, as well as other chorus and vocal groups. Mr. Meyers was accompanied by Mr. Hill, district supervisor of the recreational program of the WPA, and was joined here by G. M. Coruni, of Louisville, the county director of this program. The band and musical organization work as was explained, is on a coun ty wide plan and residents of all parts of the county are eligible to participate if they are qualified. These groups that have already been trained in Omaha have been sent out on many dates over the state and which covers nferely the cost of the transportation of the units and they provide fine musical entertainment for the various com munities. It is proposed to have the Omaha bantt brought here for a con cert if local civic bodies can arrange the necessary transportation. GIRLS SEEK SITUATIONS Superintendent L. S. Devoc has re ceived many incjuiries from girls who j are desirous of coming to this city jfroni adjacent districts to attend the I high school this year. A great many of these desire to secure positions jv.here they can work for their room and board. The girls are as a rule well trained in housework at home and could be a great aid to anyone in the household in cooking or caring for children in the hours when not J j at school. Anyone who might be jable to accommodate a girl is asked a to call Phone 103, Mr. L. S. Devoe.

Ross homes north of town, has been needing a new roof, ar.u parties from Mur ray were down and placed a new shingle roof on the building, thus placing it in shape for the opening of school in a few weeks. Gathering in Ear Mrs. Mark Burton has been having some very acute pains in her ear, from a gathering therein, and dur ing the absence of Dr. H. W.

Ross, who knows the art of farming and is not" afraid to do the necessary work, has something to show for his work. He planted corn at different times and while some of it was light, there was some that had a good stand. The right piece now gives promise of yielding, even with no more rain, some 15 bushels to the acre, and more if rain comes within a reasonable time. . Mrs. Walters in Serious Condition Mrs. Henry W. Walters, wife of Dr. Walters, who was bitten last week by a black widow spider, which poisoned her seriously, was taken to the Bryan Memorial hospital in Lin coln for treatment.

He has not seen the wrecked car in which he was injured and says he is not anxious to see it. Walt is wcl! pleased that he was not more ser iously injured in the collision.
