So many have asked the question,
"I wonder what has become of the
Twlce-A-Month Pay Bill?" that the
writer Is going to explain it up to the
present writing. This bill Is known
m Shannon's II. R. 33, and provides
tor a twlce-a-month pay day. It re
ceived the final sanction of the Ne

time ago as was reported In the Her

fact It Is contemplated In the federal
farm loan act that members of local
loan associations are to keep records
for the purpose of determining the
advisability of their loans.
No Misunderstanding
A third reason for the farm records
Is that they often are the means of

A Burlington man says "The Al
Hance division is able to bring more

tke Lincoln division is able to haul

The Burlington will soon have nn

tracking between Ashland and Green

and grade reduction, and the other

river near Grand Island.
"The route of the new crossin
ver the river is not definitely decld
