Schuttlor of Farmington, Missouri for its principal speaker, Mrs. Schuttlor is chairman of tho womens commlttoo of tho American Farm Bureau Fed eration, the most important position in tho womens' section. Sho hns been vory active in farm organization work oven long before tho organization of tho Farm Bureau and will have a mes sago of interest to every farm woman who will havo tho privilege of hearing her nt Lincoln. Chas. E. Gunnels, treasurer of tho Amorlcan Warm Bureau Federation and head of farm, organization work, who will bo tho main speaker at the stato convention' of tho Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation on January 5 Is not a stranger In Nebraska. In fact Mr. Gunnols is a native of this stato and has roached a high placo a mong men of t affairs through sheer effort, ability and porsoverenco. Gun nels was raised at Crete and educat ed at tho stato university. Ho started ihis Scarcer -as an. educator Asrv cultural lino, becoming county agri cultural agent at Seward going from thoro to director of extension at the stato agricultural college. From there ho was called to Washington to tako an Important placo lri tho stato rolat ions sorvico and was In that work whon tho Amorlcan Farm Bureau Fed eration secured him for nn official position. His work, in tho Farm Bur eau has had much to do with tho big things that havo beon accomplished by tho organization during tho past year. Ho Is an Interesting and fluent speak er, knows his subject, and will havo something to toll overy Nobraska farmer something that ho should know. Tho Nobraska Farm Bureau haa Joined' with tho national organization in urging passage of tho Fordney bill providing for tho appropriation of money to purctme IGfiUO.OOO bushels of corn for. re'I-Jf of Rurslan famine stricken dist-lcts The Farm Bureau Is asking that tho amount be doubled, and tht It alBO Include da'iy products. ToloramB havo been sent by tho Nobr ska Farm Bureau to tho ontlro Nebr aska, delegation nt Washington and favorablo ropllos havo already been rocoivod from most of tho congress men. Jotforls. of tho first district, Kinkaid of tho sixth and Androws of tho fifth havo oxpressod their inten tion of getting behind tho bill, accord- In to the NobrMka Farm Biiroau headquarters. "Nebraska and other middle wastorn states have a great surplus of corn", said a prominont farm bureau man, "and it sooms that Russia has Just reached tho point where clvlillzatlon demands that sho bo given assistance Tho only thlngj that can be done Immediately Is to I furnish them food, and thora is no J bottor food for them than this sur-; plus Nebraska corn that some farm- j ors are oven using for fuel. At the name tlmo we aro reducing the pres ent surplus of corn that is depressing tho oxport market." Most of the delegates to the stato convention of the ' Nobraska Farm Bureau Federation to be hold in Lin coin Jan. 5 and G in connection with "organized agriculture,, have boon se lected by tho county farm buronus in hto forty six organized counties. Each county will sond ono man and ono woman delozate making tho voting membership approximately 100. How- over word Is coming to tho Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation office that many counties nro Bonding largo dele gations so that the dolegates them selves will form a smnll minority, of thoso who will bo on hand to sco the shaping of the Farm Bureau program for 1922. Tho holding of tho Farm Bureau stato convention in connection with tho week of "organized agri culture" which has become the tho big gest thing In tho way of an agri cultural meeting held in the state each year, will in a great measure help to bring Into the convention many who could not nttond otherwise. :o: Edlttor: Thoro aro some people in North Platto who do not know tho descent way to treat people oyer' tho phono. The worst Is when they call tho wrong number. Instead of looking up the number ' In tho book thoy try to re member it or call on someone to ro member it for thorn. It anyone toll3 them a number thoy call, for it and usually it is tho wrong one. When I answer a phono ring and It Is not mo that they want, thoy should say so polltoly. Some people act smartly about it and toll youi.tp get off the lino or something ill' bred like that. I am still mad 'qver haying to get out of bed when ;tho bell-rang several times and then someone says "Hang up, I don't want you." Mr. Tout, such people don't deserve to havo tho use of a phono and when wo call up tho telephone girl sho never knows who It' w'as. I boliovb In politeness over tho phono and so I always say, "Excuse mp, that is tho wrong number." And I am sure I havo tho right number boforo calling for it. T hopo you will print this letter without ,my namo a3 somo people might think I am an old fogy.
