Tj More Action Needed to Save OurWild Life "Ding" Darling Urges Steps to Pre serve Wild life of Nation Now Fast Disappearing. Conservation of wild life is a sub ject about which more has been said and less done than anything in the world except the weather, declares J. N. ("Ding") Darling, cartoonist and former chief of the United States Biological Survey, in the current Ro tarian Magazine. With America's wild-life population on the downhill skids, he says, much must be done to conserve for coming generations resources intended to be the heritage of all. "We may Inflate currency, but it won't put back soils on our eroded farms or bring back our forests," he asserts. "We may accumulate all the gold in the world in our treas ury, but it won't put water back on our artificial deserts nor restore our food crops, fish, fowl, and gifts of nature." Americans have poured down the rathole much of that which nature gave them, writes Conservationist Darling, for rivers once teeming with fish are sewers; millions of acres of the richest soil have become ugly, eroding scars; and forests of price less value have been hacked down and burned away. "We have lots of conservationists, but little conservation, and our re sources continue to disappear," he observes. "Eleven million Americans pay an annual license fee to fish or hunt, and there are 36,000 societies, clubs, leagues, and associations whose avowed object is conservation. Aroused and united in one cause, they have saved the ducks from a precarious emergency, and could be equally effective in other fields. "It is time for us. the custodians of our own fate and that of our children's children, to heed the signs which are written along the trail which civilization has blazed through the ages," he continues, urging con servation groups to co-operate in seeing that the United States Bio logical Survey, the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and the various 6tate fish-and-game commissions are given the funds they need to accom plish their normal duties. We can have wild life in abundance per petually, he says, "if the sportsmen and conservationists will organize and tell their story loudly enough."

Unemployment Benefits Can be Paid to Some Persons Eesiding in Nebraska Who Have Worked in States Paying Benefits are Eligible. SEWARD WOMAN KILLED SEWARD. Neb..

Sept. 22 Persons now residing in Nebraska, who worked previously in other states, where Unemployment Compensation benefits are now being paid, may if unemployed file claims for benefits immediately through the offices of the Nebraska State Employment Ser vice, it was announced today by Harry Bane, director of that agency. The Nebraska Unemployment Com pensation division does not begin paying benefits until after January 1. 1939, according to the Nebraska law. However, Nebraska has en tered into a multi-state agreement with forty-one states whereby cov ered workers, who earned wage credits toward benefits in those states, may apply for benefits when unemployed, even though they are now residing in Nebraska. The Nebraska State Employment Service accepts the claims and acts as an agent for the unemployed claimant in sending the claims for approval to the states where the claimant formerly worked. In the period from July 19 to August 31, twenty-five persons filed interstate claims for benefits thru the Nebraska State Employment Ser vice, Director Bane said. In addi tion thirty persons filed continued claims for benefits, some of the workers having filed as many a four continued claims each. All state Unemployment Compen sation agencies require waiting per iods of from two to three weeks of unemployment, before benefit claims are granted. Availability of the un employed person for work is an other requirement. All Nebraskans filing Inter-state claims must first apply for work to the nearest office of the Nebraska State Employment Service. Seven Initial claims and twt-lve continued claims were filed in Om aha. Twelve initial claims and two continued claims were filed in Lin coln. . Among the Btates to which initial and continued claims were sent are California, Iowa, Michigan. Massa chusetts, Arizona. Wisconsin, Minne sota and Indiana. Twenty-four of the twenty-eight states now paying unemployment benefits are included'' among the forty-one states which have accept ed the multi-state claims agree ment. These states Include: Ala bama, Arizona, California, Connecti cut. Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi, New York. North Caro lina. Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island. Tennessee, Texas. Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin. Idaho will Join the agreement and pay benefits early In October. Oklahoma and New Mexico start benefit payments December 1. After January 1. 1939. former Ne braska workers who have benefit rights earned In this state, can file claims in other states, which sub scribed to the inter-state agreement. Benefit payments to a multi-state worker are to be subject to the same requirements that would apply if the worker actually were in the itate from which he claims benefits. $72,900 FOB NEBRASKA CITY WASHINGTON.
