Nebraska Well Represented at Oslo
Nebraska will be well represented
at the Interparliamentary Union at
Oslo. Senator Burke is the first
vice-president of the American
^ group and, in addition, Nebraska
will have as delegates the Third
District member and Harry Coffee,
of the Fifth District.
The United States is entitled to
twenty-eight delegates and thus
far twenty-five have been named—
six senators and nineteen repre
sentatives. Only members of the
house and senate can be delegates
from this nation. The delegation
is fairly well divided between re
publicans and democrats although
the members of the minority party
in the House will have a slight
majority of the delegation.
The American delegates will for
mulate their views in matters of
vital interest in connection with
world peace and neutrality to be dis
cussed at the conference, such as
promotion of peace by arbitration,
judicial settlement, and interna
tional law; outlawing bombing of
f defenseless cities and safeguarding
food ships and reduction and limi
tation of armament. Because of
the world situation the Oslo con
ference is expected to be one of the
most important ever held by the!
Union in its fifty years of activity.
The foreign refugee problem will
be one of the major subjects dis
cussed at the conference.
The Inteparliamentary Union was
founded in 1889 for the purpose of
bringing representatives of the par
liaments of the world together to
promote common understanding of
problems of such nature as to re
quire cooperation and mutuality be
tween nations. The Union’s funda
mental aim has always been to work
for the establishment of lasting
peace, and, in so doing, to stand,
also, for the preservation of the
representative system as the best
protection of human liberty. In
later years, responsive to the in
creasing complexity of world condi
tions, it has broadened the scope of
its activity to include all of those
questions that bear upon the prob
lems of peace between nations.
To Inspect American Missions
The Third district member has
accepted two appointments. One—
as a delegate to the Oslo conference
and, the other, as representative of
congress to investigate expendi
tures in our foreign missions. In
that capacity he will travel to var
ious countries on the continent and
must report by Sepember 15th.
This makes it necessary for him
to arrive in Hamburg, Germany, on
August 3rd. And for ten days he
will visit numerous American mis
t sions in Germany in order to be on
hand at Oslo, Norway in time for
the opening program of the con
ference August 14th. He will leave
Oslo on August 18th, for the conti
nent and after several weeks in
vestigation south of Berlin he will
return home.
U. S. Delegates to Oslo
The delegates who will represent
the United States at the Oslo con
ference include: Senators Green, of
Rhode Island; Holt of West Vir
ginia; O’Mahoney, Wyoming; Pep
per, Florida; Townsend, Deleware;
Wiley of Wisconsin; Representa
tives Fish of New York (President
of the American group), Lanaham,
Texas; Caldwell, Florida; Knutson,
Minnesota; McMillan, South Caro

Largest Lard Carry-Over
The hogs and lard producers of
the country are faced with the larg
est carry-over of hog lard in our
history. This food product which
since earliest times has furnished
the brain and brawn of our people,
is now going into the soap kettles
of the nation. Lard substitutes,

HAUSEMAN-PENNE
Miss lone Penne, Elgin, became
the bride of Leo Hausman, O’Neill,
at a ceremony performed at the St.
Bonifice church in Elgin last Tues
day by Father Buelt.
Attendants were Matt Beha of
O’Neill and Frieda Parr, Elgin.—
Neligh News.
Following half a dozen argu
ments and threats of a sit-down
strike and all kinds of perfectly
logical excuses and much heckling
of the boss the printer’s wife had
to agree that publication of an
extra might cause all sorts of dip
lomatic entanglements, especially
this season as there seems to be
an especially heavy calendar, so
under the circumstances the spouse
thought maybe we had better wait
until she managed for a first class
prospect of a printer’s devil. (Pros
pects of a hell-box cleaner-upper
from the present product seem very
dim, it’s a girl).
Then there was that business of
a name, of course no suggestions
have shown up, not more than a
couple hundred, but being a print
er’s daughter, the only bright sug
gestion the old man could offer was
the second row of buttons on the
Lintotype Shrdlu and then some
thing short to go with it, Pi, but
that immediately started fresh woes
for even having that idea, as the
wife says that I know perfectly
well that both of those names just
means a mess. Boy, I just missed
justifiable homicide on that one so
I promptly gave up and says “It’s
yours so you name it. But the ar
gument is still on and so far hasn’t
been settled.
Now in case you haven’t figured
out what this is all about, Mr. and
Mrs. D. H. Boren announce the
birth of a 7% pound baby girl on
August 1.
The election of L. C. Walling as
Vice President of the Interstate
Power Company of Nebraska was
announced today.
Mr. Walling, who has been lo
cated in O’Neill, Nebraska, as Dis
trict Manager of the Interstate
Power Company of Nebraska for
the past ten years, will assume his
new post immediately. He will,
however, continue to direct Dis
trict operations in addition to his
added duties as Vice President.
Known as “Colonel” to his many
friends, Mr. Walling has beftn emp
loyed by the Interstate Power Com
pany since 1929. His promotion to
the Vice Presidency comes as a,
reward of ten years faithful ser
vice, officials of the company
stated.
He will continue to have his of
fice and make his home in O’Neill.
The above brief announcement
comes from the head offices of the
Interstate Power company and the
information it contains will be
gratifying news to Mr. Walling’s
many friends in this city, as well
as in this Division of the Inter
state Power company, where Mr.
Walling is well known and univers
ally liked and admired. Practically
all the time he has been an em
ployee of the Interstate he has been
a resident of this city and he has a
host of friends here wfco join with
The Frontier in congratulating him
on his advancement and the city
too because his advancement still
permits him to be a resident of this
city where he has lived for so many
years. No city, no matter how
small or large, can afford to lose
citizens of Mr. Walling’s ability and
character.

State Weed Supervisor
Visits Holt County
Frank Eggert, Assistant State
Weed Supervisor, was in Holt
County Thursday inspecting thresh
ing machines to see that the regu
lations for cleaning machines after
threshing which are required under
the Nebraska weed law, are being
carried out.
The law requires that approved
notices must be placed on the ma
chines before they are put into
operation. This fs done in an ef
fort to decrease the spread of bind
weed and other noxious weeds.
Threshing machines, combines, wa
gons, trucks and other equipment,
according to the law, must be
cleaned immediately after com
pleting the harvest of grain on
farms infested with bindweed, pun
cture vine, leafy spurge, Canada
thistle, or other noxious weeds.
These notices have been and are
available at the County Agent s
office.

Rules For Government
Loans on Corn, Wheat
And Rye Announced
The county office is in receipt of
a wire relative to a governmenk
loan on rye, announces Fred F.
Beckwith, chairman of the County
Agricultural Conservation Commit
tee. On farm stored rye, grading
No. 2 or better, we expect the loan
rate to be not less than 34c or more
than 38c per bushel. In addition,
the storage rate will be 7c per bush
el, paid for the period ending July
1, 1940, if rye is delivered. Corn
loans, and rye and wheat loans are
now available on grain that has
been threshed more than 30 days.
Now let us take a brief look at
the details of the loan extension
that we may all be together on
these points:
1. Loans on 1937 and 1938 corn
are eligible for 12-months renewal,
advancing the due date to August
1, 1940.
2. Farmers who deliver their corn
in settlement of the loan at the end
of the period are eligible for a 6
cent per bushel storage payment.
3. If prices advance and farmers
redeem their corn during the ex
tended period, they will not be eli
gible for this storage payment but
will in effect receive it through the
higher price they receive for their
corn.
4. All 1937 corn must be stored
either shelled or in the ear.
5. Farmers may obtain this stor
age payment in the form of an ad
vance for the purpose of building
new cribs and bins. Such an ad
vance becomes an additional lien
against the oorn.
6. Farmers may store their corn
either in approval bins or cribs on
the farm or in the elevators located
in the same communities in which
tne corn is produced.
Similar storage rules will apply
to wheat and rye. If further in
formation is desired, it will be ad
visable to all at the County A.C.A.
office.
