A WALL PAPER SPRING SHOWINGS Unusually Reasonable! Frank R. Gobelman Paint and Glass MANY FAIL TO HAKE REPORTS The U. S. bureau of internal rev enue at AVashinton, D. O. has today expressed its concern to Internal Rev enue Collector G. W. O'Malley over the large percentage of employers in Nebraska who have not yet filed reports showing taxable wages paid to employees from July 1, lfl.17 to December 31, 1937. as required un der the Federal Social Security Act. Of all employers subject to Title VIII of the Feleral Social Security Act, approximately 13 per cent have failed to file returns on Forms SS-2 and SS-2a with the collector for this period. These figures are significant, as the employers who have failed toting at this school. More than U.OoO file these information returns have 'students were e nrolled in the day in their employ many persons for whom no wage reports have been re ceived. The collector pointed out it is to the interest of the employer, as well as the employee, to have this infor mation sent to the collector without further delay. Employers will save themselves the necessity of having to make explanations to their employees or survivors of deceased employees, and will cut down on the need of further conference with government officials if they are now prompt in submitting these reports to the U. S. Collector of Internal Revenue. Collector O'Malley pointed out that to receive old-age beiiedits under the provisions of the Social Security Act, it is necessary that an employee bo credited on the records of the So cial Keciiritv board with the amount of wages he has earned. He pointed on that the information concerning the amount of wages paid an em- tdovee is re-uuhed bv the govern-1 i ment in order to calculate the bene- j Fuller was the husband of the for faits under old-age insurance withjnier Miss Iieinice Newell of thin city tho government has obligated itself j and with tho family i-ited here to pay workers v. tien tticy rcac-n xneir.orr.e two vears a age of C". or to their estates in the event of their death. It is. therefore, important to the employee that the taxes deducted from his wages by the employer and the amount of taxable wages he receives are promptly re ported to the collector of internal revenue.

Wilson, new American ambassador expressed mu tual hope for good American-German relations todav as Wilson handed 1 Hitler his credentials at the presi dential palace.

Rivers Rise as Ice is Starting to Move Out Missouri Well Cleared of Most of the Ice and at High Stage as Is the Platte. The lighter ice in the Missouri river has been clearing out this week and the stream is up at a high stage at this point as the Platte is empty ing its waters into the Missouri. The veteran rivermen report that some ice has passed from further up the stream as the warmer weather caused the general break up of the ice of the stream to start. So far the ice has moved out without trouble but wtih heavier ice moving it will increase the danger of jams along the river where the chan nel has -been narrowed. The Platte being at a high stage has brought some flood waters into the chute east of the city but not to cause any apprehension. ATTEND FAMILY PARTY From Friday's Pally Searl S.
