BONDS Congressman Miller Speaks For Farmer Additional farm machinery and repair parts—the crying need for these items was I strongly pre sented by the * Nebraska delega tion to officials \ of the War Pro Iduction Board and of the Of fice of Price Ad ministration at a special meeting on Saturday, Feb ruary 6. We pointed out the fact that the allocation of these to Nebraska was unjust for the reason that the formula originally set was on the basis of the 1940 crop production, a poor crop year for our state. Available figures show that as a rule Nebraska produces around 8% of the total food of the nation, while we were given only 4% of the farm machinery of the nation. Spokesmen for the delegation said that we felt the dealers had prop erly gauged the real need of the farmers in their communities and now had the implements on their floors to meet it. Therefore, we urged that all machinery in the hands of the dealers be released for sale to the farmers in the community so they could use it now in the production of food this year. I strongly urge the local farm groups to petition the State War Board for release of the ma chinery now in the hands of the dealers. The officials mentioned above say it has the power to do this. The Congress is beginning to show signs of asserting itself. It is demanding that those in au thority recognize agriculture as an important war industry and that food is just as important as bombs and bullets. There is bound to be a critical shortage of certain food materials. Folks living on the farm can be thankful they have food. The dollar may go down in purchasing power, but a quart of milk and a dozen eggs will still have the same food value. There is probably little danger of a real food shortage as far as the farmers of Nebraska are con : cerned. Nebraska people produce food. I The cellars of many farm famil | ies are full of canned vegetables, j fruits and meats. In the eastern j part of the country it is entirely , different. Here we have millions of consumers of food. There may be a shortage of food in the east. If those in authority will see the picture clearly they will make it possible for the farmers of Amer ica to have not only the ma chinery but the manpower to pro duce food. If this is done, many of our food problems will be solved. There is no other answer, just machinery and manpower. Bureaucrats in the Department of Agriculture have made many mistakes. Congress must take a hand. If a “food dunkirk" is to be avoided Congress must see to it that those who control the farm program give the farmers the necessary tools and labor to pro duce the food for our armed forces, civilians and allies. Many statesmen are recom mending that men in the military service who are trained farmers be furloughed back home to help during harvest. That their recom mendations are having some ef fect is evidenced in the recent speech of Economic Stabilization Director Byrnes, who stated that army officials are considering the advisability of doing just this. Folks from Nebraska who vis ited our office this week were: Lieut. Nelson R. Simpson of Chad ron, who is now stationed at Fort Belvoir, near here; Art McNees of Alliance, working in the office of OPA; Bill O’Connell of O'Neill, and Bryant Steele of Omaha.

O’NEILL NATIONAL BANK O’NEILL, NEBRASKA Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Mr* Kimball and Mr*. Worthing ton, dressed soberly and wearing their best black gloves, walked along the stony country road back toward Sophia Hardy** farm, to pay their visit of condolence, "How do you reckon she'll be bearing up?" Mrs, Kimball asked Mrs. Worthington Both ladles wore their most solemn, funereal esprea alons. "A mighty severe blow," Mrs. Worthington said. "Mighty severe To lose your only spn, the mainstay of your declining years. And such a dreadful death, too—to go down with a ship. Mercy!” "The first of our boys from Hand County to go, too," Mrs. Kimball said, mourmuuy. *T wouldn’t blame Sophia Hardy tor feeling right bit ter.** They stood on the simple stone ' doorstep, with downcast eyes, getting them selves into the proper commiserative mooa. • Come in!" The voice was brisk and cordial. They looked up in surprise. Sophia herself had come to the door. As they followed her into the parlor they exchanged glances, with eye brows lifted. Sophia was not even i in mourning. The partor shades were not even drawn. "It's nice of you to come," Sophia said. “Do sit down." “We came," Mrs. Kimball said almost reprovingly, “to tell you that ; our hearts are bleeding for you in i your great loss.” “We know how lonely you must be j out here,” Mrs. Worthington said , “With nothing to take your mind off , . . off . . She sniffed and reached in her purse for a hand kerchief. “Oh, 1. keep busy," Sophia said. "I’ve just finished applying for the Government insurance on Tom's life.” . The visiting ladies could not re sist a shocked glance at one an other. “I want to get it right away," So phia said. "So I can put it into War , Bonds. My boy hasn't finished flght j ing yet, not by a long shot.” The ladies were so occupied with feeling horrified, so titillated by this * callous behaviour in a bereaved mother—that neither of them no ticed Sophia’s hands.
