The following letter directed to
Mr. C. H. Beale, District Engineer
of WPA was reat at this meeting:
We, the Supervisors of Holt
county, hereby protest the re
moval of Lloyd Twibell as As
sistant Engineer of WPA in the
above county for said reasons.
The WPA projects in this
county are operating on an ef
ficient basis, constructive and
all above Supervisors are very
well satisfied with the construc
tion and type of projects.
The clients are very well sat
isfied as are the relief agencies
affected through the WPA organ
ization.
Mr. Twibell has projects
planned for the completion of
this program and we the under
signed have made our plans as
sponsors to cooperate in every
way with the WPA organization.
Mr. Twibell has had plans work
ed up on all county road jobs in
this county. We hired an en
gineer at his request to do this
and would like to have him con
tinue supervision over these pro
jects until completed.
We hold nothing againt the re
lief man sent in here but do feel
that he is not as well qualified
as Mr. Twibell is for the work
in Holt county.
We met with Mr. Buchanan
from the district office and en
tered a protest to him but he was
unable to give us any assurance
that Mr. Twibell would be retain
ed so we ask that you will recon
sider and leave Mr. Twibell with
us in Holt county.

The telephone company at Imperial
had applied for permission to in
stall a metallic two-wire system at
an increased rate of about 50 cents
per telephone. In the single circuit
grounded system a metal take is
driven into the ground at each tele
phone, and only one wire is needed,
as the moist ground completes the
circuit. However, at Imperial, and
in other parts of western Nebraska,
drouth has made the ground so dry
that the circuit is not completed,
energy is confused, and a listener is
enabled to hear many conversations
not intended for him.
Election of officers of the Ne
braska Co-operative Creameries, at
their annual convention held last

re-election of Carl S. Horn of Hay

A. H. Marquardt was elected vice
president, and the following as
directors; W. H. Tessier of Broken
Bow; and Fred W. Coe of Ord.

thought advisable.
Attorney General Richard Hunt
er, for information as to proper
procedure from W. R. Metz, city
attorney of Alliance, has issued the
following opinion: “If no candi
dates have filed in the primary for
the city council, the election board
must print ballots, leaving them
blank, and hold its primary elec
tion so that the voters may write
in the names of those they wish as
candidates in the regular election.”
Criminal prosecution is to be
brought in about twelve cases in
Nebraska in which dealers have o
failed to turn in the state tax on T
gasoline, according to information
given out by the state department
of agriculture. In one case, that of
Fred Nofsager of Humboldt, civil
and criminal actions have already
been filed by the state, in which
demands are made for $11,228 for
,alleged non-payment of gasoline
taxes. The state claims that Nof
sager was importing from 40,000
to 60,000 gallons of gasoline per |
month, and failed to pay full taxes
from June, 1935, to March, 1936.

CHANGE TO OIL PLATING
All the other “serious stuff” is out, if you .
take just one thing seriously about your
engine oil . . . In selecting it—for a ’37
model or anything else—be guided by
things you really know for yourself.
You know that a plating on metal can
not come off like any mere liquid. Thus
Oil-Plating, formed in your engine by
Conoco Germ Processed oil, cannot come
off the working parts like any mere film of
oil. Though the patented Germ Process
puts abnormal strength into the so-called
movable oil film, it goes much farther and
gives you exclusive Oil-Plating.
With this firmly fastened layer of lubri
cant always maintained on cylinders, bear
ings and other parts, it stands to reason
that friction never finds them naked. They
remain all covered constantly with slippy
Oil-Plating, as though they were built
with it on. It’s on, every time you start
the engine, because Oil-Plating can’t run
down “between times.” And it’s on
throughout your hardest run, because Oil
Plating isn’t liable to the usual “squeeze
out, scrape-off and bum-up.” None of
those worries any more, as you change to
Conoco Germ Processed oil—and Oil
Plating economies. Continental Oil Co.
