SHIELDS (Continued from page 6.) ficult for one of her age to handle, but she did remarkably well. She had a stage poise that was excellent. Elmer Steskal spoke on the history of Benjamin Franklin and his inven tions, handling his subject in a de lightful manner. Demarrs Murray! gave a talk on General Lee, of the (Confederate army, his surrender to General Grant, thru no fault of his or his soldiers, but on account of the overwhelming odds, looked like a useless sacrifice to con tinue. Robert Early thrilled his listeners to the very end with a talk on the adventures of the great aviator, Lind bergh, surmounting a|l obstacles. Elane Murray and James Early gave the flag salute while the rest of the pupils sang "My Country ’Tis of Thee." Immediately afterward a spelling contest took place, visitors and all included. Mrs. James Early won first honors, apd Cora Murray was second. This concluded a pro gram which had been very well pre sented throughout. Henry Murray and Ed. Early were assigned to serve coffee, lunch and hot dogs. AT THE STATE LEGISLATURE (Continued from page 1.) I dy and running northeast to connect ■ with highway 75 at Dunning. Highway 211.

State Journal: Representative Mc Mahon and coauthors of H. R. 355 caused to be substituted Monday for the incomplete schedules fixing maxi mum rates for telephone service in the state the bill prepared at their request by Rail Commissioner Bollen. The bill fixes the maximum charges which telephone companies may make a schedule that Mr. Bollen said, gen erally speaking, is about 20 per cent less than the rates charged by the Northwestern Bell company, which op erates in Omaha and north of the Platte river, while they are about the same as those of the Lincoln company, which largely supplies service to twenty-two southern and southeastern counties. In some instances the maxi mums are higher than the latter com pany charges and in other instances lower. They are, on the whole, high er than the small companies generally 'operated with profit as a secondary consideration. Above these rates the commission may not go, altho it may prescribe lower charges. After definitely defining what the various terms used mean, the bill sets out schedules for eleven different classifications. The main charges are as follows: Group A—Exchanges operated in any city of 100,000 population mean ing Omaha: Individual busine33, $8; individual residence, $3.50t two party residence, $2.75; rural metallic, $2.75; switching, 75 cents.

A FRIEND AT COURT “I believe thoroughly in agricultural eeducation. I regard it as one of the most important and essential branches of the whole educational effort that is being carried on in the United States. I am a firm believer also in the value of the cooperative research and experi mental work and the extension service, which state institutions in cooperation with the Federal government are rend ering. “I think it would be nothing short of a disaster if any of this work were seriously curtailed. Particularly in these times when farmers are having such a desperate struggle to maintain themselves, I think it supremely im portant that they should have the benefit of the expert advice that col leges, experiment stations and exten sion services are able to give them and it is equally important that we should continue to hold out to their children opportunity for an education that will make them something more than field drudges. ‘‘I am glad that I have the oppor tunity of expressing myself on this subject on which I have very strong convistions.” Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter to the Editor of The Progressive Farmer. OBITUARY Elbert Timplin was born in Wash ington county, Ten., February 26, 1847, and died at Neligh, Nebr., February ^3, 1933 at the age of 85 years, 11 months and 23 days. He came from a family of 12 child ren, being a son of John and Hannah Brown-Templin. His boyhood days were spent in his native state where he grew to manhood. On November 23, 1870 he was united in mrariage to Mary Malinda May. They continued to make their home in Tennessee until 1881 when they came to Nebraska, first locating at Brock in Nemaha county. After a year’s residence there they moved to Jefferson county and settled on a farm near Reynolds. In that county they resided for 28 years, removing to O’Neill in the spring of 1910. Mrs. Templin’s death occurred at O’Neill September 13, 1910. More than 22 years since the death of his companion and help-mate he has made his home most of the time with his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Templin, but at times with some of the other children. About eight years of this period was spent at O’Neill and for the past 13 years he has lived at Neligh. Fourteen children were born to El bert and Mary Templin, all of whom are living. The eldest son is 61 years of age and the youngest is 40 years of age, a notable family record. The children are: Eugene Templin, Hubbell, Nebr.; Mrs. Pearl Hutson, New Serepta, Alberta, Canada; Frank Templin, Eldorado, Kansas; Mrs. Estella Krebeck, Neligh, Nebr.; Wal lace G. Templin, Neligh, Nebr.; Wil liam A. Templin, Spokane, Washing ton; Edgar L. Templin, Shelton, Ne braska; Ralph G. Templin, Fort Worth, Texas; Samuel 0. Templin, Neligh, Nebr.; Clem T. Templin, Kansas City, Missouri; Mrs. Margaret Lang, Alex andria, Nebr.; Mrs. Ruby Priefert, Reynolds, Nebr.; Bernie Templin, Reynolds, Nebr., and Mrs. Allie Mc I Call, Lincoln, Nebr. Mr. Templin knew what it was to undergo hardships and privations. He worked hard, not only in his younger years but was active even in his de clining years. He was a good hus band and father and lived according to the teachings of his Master and the Ten Commandments. He was up right, fair and honest in his dealings with men and his word was as good as a bend. No more will we feel the grasp of his vanished hand or hear his voice which is stilled but we are consoled for we know that he was pure in heart and lived a good Christian life. Both Mr. Templin and his good wife United with the Baptist church at Reynolds, Nebr., in 1900. We cannot help but feel that the world is just a little better because Elbert Templin was privileged to live and labor in it for many long years. Besides the large family of grown children he leaves 37 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, as well as a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the Samuel Templin home northwest of Neligh at ten o’clock Monday morning and interment w’as made in the family burial lot at O’Neill. Services were in charge of G. B. Dunning, Christian minister of Neligh. xx.

THE FEDERAL INTERMEDIATE CREDIT BANK Omaha, Nebr., March 2.—The use of the facilities of the Federal Inter mediate Credit Bank of Omaha, which discounts agricultural paper for local lending institutions, has increased steadily since the bank wa3 organized, according to a statement made here today by D. P. Hogan, president of the institution. From organization of the bank in 1923 to date it has made loans or dis counted farmers’ agricultural paper for local lending institutions amount ing to approximately $42,000,000, not including renewals. This has meant an accommodation to approximately 16,000 farmers in the states of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyom ing. Mr. Hogan pointed out that there has been a substantial increase in the number of institutions borrowing from or discounting agricultural paper with the Federal Intermediate Cedit Bank of Omaha in the last four years. For instance, in 1928, in Iowa there were two such organizations dealing with the bank and there are now 20; in Nebraska there were 10 while now there are 18; in South Dakota there were 14 whereas the present number is 17; in Wyoming there were three and now there are six. Mr. Hogan explained mat me muie local institutions offer farmers’ paper for loans or discounts to the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank the greater will be the service which the institu tion can render to the farmers of these four states. He said that the interest rate which the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank has been charging during the last year is the lowest since it was organized, that on July 15, 1932 it reduced the interest to 3V4 per cent. He pointed out that the bank, altho capitalized by the Federal government, secures its loanable funds from the sale of debentures in the big money markets. These debntures are tax exempt and carry the reputation of being of being prime short-term se curities. Congress last winter added to the desirability of this paper by making it eligible for loans from Fed eral Reserve Banks to the banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System. Mr. Hogan pointed out that the rate which the bank makes to the local lending institutions, also to the farm ed^’ cooperative marketing associa tions upon their commodities in stor age, is not the rate which the borrow ing farmer pays for the funds to the local institutions which are permitted to charge as high as 3 per cent in ad dition to the rate which they pay the Intermediate Credit Banks for the funds obtained from it. Thus the farmer-borrowers at this time are get ting funds which come from the Inter mediate Credit Bank at a rate not to exceed 6 Ms per cent. The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank makes loans on farmers’ notes or discounts the same only when the money has been obtained for an agri cultural purpose such as the produc tion of crops, the marketing of them, cr for the feeding, breeding or raising if livestock. The primary advantages to farmers securing the loans of this character are that the loans can run for a period which is longer than the average commerical bank wishes to make loans to farmers for production cr marketing purposes and a favorable rate of interest. The discounts of agricultural paper cy the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Omaha outstanding at the end )f the year increased from about *5,803,000 in 1928 to $11,109,000 in 1932. At the beginning of this year 51 institutions, mainly livestock loan companies and agricultural credit cor porations, organized for the specific purpose of making agricultural loans ind discounting them with this bank, were in operation. “Many of these lending institutions ivere organized by bankers as affiliates )f commercial banks, and generally speaking, have proved very satisfac ;ory and useful in their communiites,” said Mr. Hogan. “They not only bring n new capital but they articulate with ind supplement the regular commer cial activities of the rural bank. Cor porations have been organized also as subsidiaries of cooperative marketing institutions and others have been cap talized by business men in various communities.” FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SPECIALS PORK SAUSAGE Per pound HAMBURGKK Per pound 10c 10c r / CHUCK ROASTS Per pound HOME MADE BOLOGNA Per pound PIC KLEI) PIGS FEET 6 for KAMO OATS 2 packages , 1(k ]k_ 25c POTATOES 3 bushels for $1.00 SUGAR 10 pounds 50i SOAP 10 Bars 25c HEINZ KETCHUP 2 bottles 39c WISCONSIN LONG HORN CHEESE, per lb. 15c PRUNES—Santa Clara 3 pounds __ 20c M-J-B COFFEE:*. 7Cr AMERICA’S HIGHEST QUALITY I i/V ALIDDAN COFFEE VACUUM PACKED 1 30c AN M-J-ll PRODUCT JUNIOR COFFEE THREE TIMES SEALED 1 POUND OEr I PACKAGE luU AN M-J-B PRODUCT R.
