Wilma Hoffie, of Bonesteel, were
issued a marriage license by Judge

then performed the ceremony.

plaint of (lame Warden Weller who

Latest information is that the
new tax billl may come to the
house for action around July 28.
Members are told it may come in
under an ironcall rule and amend
ments may not be possible. When
that is out of the way, members
are told they may go home for a
few weeks unless something unfore
seen happens.
Aconatituent writes that he is op
posed to any provision in the new
tax bill making mandator? joint in
come tax return by Ivusnind and
wife. He says that woii*l put a
penalty on marriage and; promote
divorce. He feeds exemptions per.
■onal and for dependerfts, sViould
be the same for single alM married
persons. This will be an item of
much debate when the tax bill
reaches the House.
The bills to amend the market
ing quota on wheat have come to
the House. One is to allow farmers
to feed their surplus wheat. The
other ia to help farmers who
through no fault of their own lost
much of their wheat crop. The
committee did aot introduce a bill
to fix the quota on the basis of
harvested acres instead of planted
arces. The department no longer
requires the fanner to put up a
bond for this stored wheat on the
farm.
Many letters are received about
prospects for jobs in Central and
South America. There is and will
be much activity in those countries.
The best advise now is for those
interested in those countries to
learn Spanish. Several State De
partement erapolyees who want to
go to Central and South America
have been told they could go if they
knew Spanish.
Inquiries about the health of the]
President continue. When he came
back from Hyde Park the other
day, he looked in good health but
those who ade close to him say
there is a more wearied look on
his face than there was a year ago.
George Norris, Senior Senator
from Nebraska, was in good health
on his 80th birthday. At a dinner
given by Sentor Butler the other
night, Senator Norris told the Nebr
aska delegation that he was feel
ing well but would like to be back
home in Nebraska. All other mem
bers of the Nebraska delegation
are enjoying good health.
With war closed to the United
States, rich people here in the East
are looking for some place to in
vest their money so they will have
something when it is all over. One
report is that a few of these rich
folk are buying metals, preferably
platinum bars. Something tang
ible, they say. That' is one rea_
son for the sudden movement hede
and elsewhere to buy farm land.
Governor Griswold of Nebraska
had two full days in Washington.
He was the honor guest at a dinner
given by Senator Butler. The Gov
ernor told the Nebraska delegation
that he expected to appoint a judge
to fill the vacancy caused by thi
death of Judge Dickson of O Neill
upon his return to the state. The
Governor discussed many problems
with the Nebraska members espec
ially the campaign to bring some
defense activities to our state.
Mayor John Ihxrelik of South
Sioux City, Nebraska has been in
town consulting with various feder
al agency chiefs. He is especially
interested in the development of
Crystal Lake which once was the
rendezous of fishing enthusiasts
from all parts of the country. Thi
mayor believes this natural attract
ion will again become a magnet
for people who seek outdoor re
creation and he has discussed the
matter with friendly officials in the
various department here. He was
accompanied by his family and
drove to New York after finishing
business here.
The War Department not only
wants the draftees and the Nation
al Guard continued in service, but
it seeks the conscription of an ad_
ditional number of young men suf
ficient to bring the Army strength
to 3,000 000 men. Doubling the
size of army dequirements will
carry with it many more canton
meats and training I acuities and
an immense increase in production
capacity to furnish the arms and
other equipment. The Department
regadds a further appropriation of
at least four billions of dollars are
necessary for the ground work for
such an increase of the Army. The
cost of maintenance of such an
army is not estimated at present.
The average cost of such mainten
ance now averages about $1,400
per enlisted man. The average
for those in aviation is much great
er.
It is estimated that four million
men are now employed in the nat
ional defense program, and that
as many more will be needed. The
government is getting upon an ex
tensive training program to fit
many young men for the new war
industries. Sixty million dollars
has been set aside for such training
under the direction of the N. Y. A.
Flans are under way for other
training facilities for suppling skil
led labor for the industries, but
training requires time. The Civil
Service Commission and the feder
al employment agencies are wide
ly advertising for men skilled in
various mechanical and construct
ion trades, but the requirements as
to skill and experience are barring
mipty young, men who have hpd no
opportunity to acquire either.
Thede is a serious movement a
mong members to do something a
bout decentralizing non-defense
government agencies. But the
House the other day defeated a
resolution which would set up a
committee to do something about
it. Defeat of this measure was
largely due to the feeling of a stand,
ing committee that it could do the
work without the intervention of
any special investigating committee.
Members of the Public Buildings
and Grounds Committee say they
are studying the matter. To date,
about 1100 HOLC employees are
being transferred to New York.
About 200 employees in the Graz
ing section of the Interior Depart
ment are being shifted to Utah.
Washington Board of Trade of
ficials are in an uproar.
Among the recent visitors in the
Third Congressional District Office
were Rev. and Mrs. Isaac Cbstle of
York, Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs.
Max Janousky, who formerly liv
ed at Norfolk, Nebraska, but now
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Abe Shot
well of Omaha Nebraska; Mr. and
Mrs. H. L. Gerhart and son of
Newman Grove, Nebraska and Dean

The scene was in torrid Death Valley,
where Hollywood makes true desert
pictures, and the heat makes records.
Condemned to death were 6 new
coupes, alike throughout, except that in
each crankcase—under lock—was a dif
ferent big-name motor oil... one 5-quart
fill... never any added in any car’s life
time .. . 57-mile speed kept up under
Death Valley’s all-consuming sun until
each engine went to smash. A strictly
impartial, strictly certified test of motor
oil life, decided only by 6 cars’ death.
Which 5-Quart fill lasted all of
1^398 miles?... Certified
One oil outlasted the other test oils by
6,683 miles or more . .. Certified. And
the whole lot of them—5 big-name oils
—averaged not even half of the 13,398
wiiloa delivered by the new long-lasting
oil. You can have it in your engine right
now—at popular price—by asking for
CONOCO N# MOTOR OIL
Its mileage and economy come straight
from Conoco oil’s new synthetic or
man-made extra substance—Thialkene
inhibitor. (Conoco Patent 2,218,132.) To
understand, merely think a moment of
Vaccination—the right protective Bub
stance put on guard to keep a trouble
from starting. Now the trouble aiming
to start on motor oils lurks in the normal
firing of every engine. Filth is formed
that can spoil one drop-then two drops
"catch it”—then four—then sixteen—
faster, fatter, FASTER, till the whole fill
weakens «nd the oil level sinks too fast
... but not when the start of this oil
fouhng trouble is inhibited—held back—
by life-giving Thialkene inhibitor in new
Conoco N*h motor oil, on sale today for
your car.
You’ll never Death -Tfest your Conoco
Nth oil nor rej>eat other proving-ground
tortures. You'll still drain and refill at
recommended intervals. But how you’ll
expect to stretch the distance before you
ever add a quart, judging by this big
fact: 5 heavily advertised oils in the Cer
tified Death Valley Test were outmile
aged 74% to 161% by Conoco Nth oil.
AND CONOCO N# OIL
OIL-PLATES YOUR ENGINE I ,
Long the keystone of Conoco success, ,
oil-plating comes from another great
Conoco synthetic ... man-made under
the famed Germ Processed oil patent.
Magnet-like action bonds oil-plating
to engine parts. It can’t all quickly
drain down—not while you’re using '■
Conoco N*h oil. So oii^plating is on . v
guard in advance against wear!.■■* . and
helps mileage, as it did in Death Valley. ;
An oil-plated engine is one more> v
