These farmers told us that they are here to boost the Frazier Lemke Refinancing Bill. They said they did not have a crop failure in Ohio, but that the farmers are in bad shape and need a lower rate of interest to refinance their mort gages. They Rre very much inter ested in the amount of farm pro-1 ducts coming into this country from foreign lands. Washington, in my opinion, is a city which the depression has not visited. Washington people don’t like to say that, but it is a fact that there is no depression here. The D. A. R. convention is to be held next week, and delegates can not find rooms. In fact, two ladies from Norfolk, who are coming to represent the state at the D. A. R. convention have tried to get rooms for a week. We called every hotel in town only to be informed that every room has been sold out until | the middle of May. The Red Cross convention is on right now, and the eastern tourists are coming in by the thousands. It is a boom town. Mr. Parker, who is the Indian Agent at Winnebago, Nebraska, is in Washington conferring with Commissioner Collier and various officials in the Indian service. Mr. Parker has the interests of the Indian people at heart, and j* an xious that the government give some attention to the school situa tion in Thurston county. Once there were several agents for several reservations in the Third Nebraska District, but now one agent must look after the affairs of Indians from the tribes of the Winnebagos, Omahas, Santees, and. the Poncas, and everyone of them have many problems which they bring up for the agent to take care of. Some of the new Congressmen are wondering if the dinner racket is really a racket in Washington. Some of them claim there must be an organization of “dinner getters up.” Every once in a while they get an invitation to attend a dinner in honor of some prominent man, and frequently that so-called prom inent man is not present, although speeches eulogizing that man are made at the dinner. They charge all the way from $1.50 to $5.00 a plate for some of these dinners, and the intimation is left perhaps somebody is making a profit on putting on dinners. North Nebraska people like to hear about North Nebraska, and every once in a while some former North Nebraskan comes in to read the papers from home and inquire about conditions. The latest visit or was Gladys Rice Clarke, who is proud to call Neligh, the pumpkin pie town her home. She now lives in New York and was happy to hear that we are having a good rain in North Nebraska. Nebraska Congressmen continu ally watch a big weather map of the United States which is located in the lobby of the House and on which the weather man makes re ports frequently. Dust storms are watched carefully and the Nebras ka delegation was jubilant today when the weather man reported heavy moisture all over Nebraska. Congressmen have been informed that the Wheeler Amendment pro viding for lower rates of interest for farmers will be reported out of the committee. This provides an interest rate of 3 Vi per cent, but Wheeler has agreed, to modify his amendment so that the interest rate will go up each year from 3Vi# to 4#, and the third year to 4Vi#>, and so those fighting for lower rates of interest feel little relief will come from the Wheeler Amendment. Among the Nebraska visitors to the Congressional office were George O’Malley, Collector of Internal Re venue of Nebraska, who was here conferring with the Buerau of In ternal Revenue. Also, Wayne Jensen of Battle Creek; he is the son of Fred John son and conferring with the HOLC; he is a cashier in the Chicago office. Donald Allen, of Fullerton, was also in; he says he is getting along all right. He is employed in the workmen’s compensation depart ment and says he likes Washington. C. B. Holmes, of Loretto, Ne braska, was another visitor. He is corn-hog field man in the Nebraska set-up, and is here taking care of the claims for the State of Nebras ka. James McGrath, of Omaha, was also here. He is the son of Joe Mc Grath, an old time telegraph op erator of Omaha, and a brother of Joe McGrath, who used to sing over the radio. Mrs. M. E. Pangle, of Norfolk, and Mrs. Womedorf, also of Nor folk, were among the first Nebras ka delegates to the D. A. R. con vention to arrive today. Communications that have been received, and that are being re ceived, disclose that there is some impression that the corn-hog re duction program for 1935 is de pendent upon further Congression al action. The fact is that the ex ecution of that program, this year, is entirely an administrative mat ter for handling by the Secretary of Agriculture. The preceding Congress delegated to him ,the authority to administer such a pro gram and his is the decision re 15c Sodas SPECIAL 2 Packs Ice Cream 25c Buy one, we Rive you one.

The continuity of the 1935 program is, of course, a reality because the 1935 contracts have already been executed and the pro gram is so far along that the date of limitation for the receipt of con tracts has passed.
