State Goal In Bond
Drive Is Still Short
Although the Fourth War Loan
campaign closes officially on Tues
day, February 15, Nebraska coun
ties that have been snow-bound
for the past week will have an
opportunity to complete their
county canvasses.
W. Dale Clark, state chairman
of the War Finance Committee for
Nebraska, announced that sale of
‘E,” “F” and “G” Series bonds
will count in the campaign, pro
vided purchases are made prior to
February 29 and if these addition
al sales are reported immediately
to the Federal Reserve Bank in
Omaha.
“Many Nebraska counties are
■ over the top in their over-all quo
f tas,” said Mr. Clark, “however,
sales to individuals and sales of
the Series “F” bonds have not
been up to expectations. Adverse
weather conditions are partially
responsible, but we believe that a
part of our poor showing in indi
vidual and “E” sales has been in
some instances to complacency or
over-optimism.
“The war is a long way from
being over and I urge Nebraskans
who have not yet participated in
the Fourth War Loan campaign
through bond purchases, to ans
wer this urgent call for funds so
badly needed to prosecute a suc
cessful war.
“If every Nebraskan, with avail
funds, would buy an extra $100
bond this week, I am sure Ne
braska would make its “E” bond
quota and that the state’s individ
ual quota would also be reached,”
Clark added.
Chairmen of 93 war finance
committees on Monday received a
message from State Chairman
Clark urging them to keep their
campaign organization intact and
continue the campaign until Feb
ruary 29th.
“Nebraska can and will make
the various quotas assigned, if
every Nebraskan realizes that this
ia his war and does his part as an
individual,” Mr. Clark stated.

St. Mary’s Defeats
Chambers High
The St. Mary’s Cardinals trav
eled to Chambers last Friday and
won their tenth game of the seas
on 31 to 15. Rowse made two
free throws to start the game giv
ing Chambers a 2-0 lead early in
the first quarter, but then Camp
bell made two baskets to give us
a 4-2 lead, which was from there
on never seriously threatened.
The Cardinals held a 13-3 half
time margin and continued to
score in the third and fourth quar
ters to give the Cardinals their
tenth win of the season with a
score of 31 to 15. Grady and
Campbell led the winners with
ten points each, while Svatos and
Cooke led the Coyotes from
Chambers, each having four points
to their credit.
St. Mary’s second team did not
have such good luck as the Cham
bers second took the game 17-5.
Ryan was high point man for the
second team with three out of
the five points that the Junior
Cardinals made.

Congressman Miller’s Weekly Letter
Mirage Flats Approved.
With the approval by the War
Production Board for resumption
of work on the Mirage Flats Irri
gation Project in my district it
might be well to outline briefly
the steps that had to be taken so
that those who are interested in
other projects will know just how
much red tape must be unwound
before they can get approval. Ap
proval by WPB is now based
wholly on the question of getting
the greatest food production in
the shortest time. First, the Re
clamation Bureau must determine
that there is sufficient water, and
the amount of critical materials
needed. It must also state that it
can finish the project within a
given time. Then the War Food
Administration must approve it
on the grounds of the amount and
kind of food it will produce. If
there is power involved it must
have the approval of the Federal
Power Commission. The War
Manpower Commission must state
there is sufficient manpower avail
able. If there is not enough man
power in the community and
there are prisoners of war in the
vicinity the approval of the Army
must be obtained. Each agency is
jealous of all the others, so there
is bickering over authority. The
“do-gooders” worry about the
amount of wool in the blankets
that will cover the prisoners as
well as about their food and the
hours of labor. The time it takes
to get all these factions together
and the approval of WPB is best
shown by the fact that Mirage
Flats was approved just six
months from the day the hearing
was held before the WPB Com
mittee, and this is a project that
was more than half completed
when the President put the stop
order on it after war was de
clared.
The Nebraska Delegation nas
been working continuously with
the several agencies to get the
feasible projects in Nebraska ap
proved. In the Fourth District are
several, any of which if started at
once, could be producing addition
al food in 1945. Interested groups
should work together on govern
ment agencies in order to get the
best results. As a member of the
Committee on Irrigation in the
House I am doing and will con
tinue to do all I can for these
projects.
Support Prices Fail to
Support.
The administration’s policy of
support prices under farm pro
ducts has broken down so often
that farmers are losing confidence.
Under an administrative direct
ive, eggs were to have a support
price that guarantee the producer
about 39c per dozen until six
months after hostilities ended.
While eggs have been selling in
the east for from 55c to 70c, farm
ers in the middle west have been
getting from 15c to 25c per dozen.
Support prices on hogs have not
been effective because of the
weight limits on which support
prices were given. Congress au
thorized the Department of Agri
culture to establish support prices
at 90% parity. In the recent pro
gram announced by the Depart
ment support prices were placed
at 85% of parity on all products
except cotton and that was fixed
at 90%.
r lxing oi ceiling prices on iruits
and vegetables have been of no
more help to producers. Onions
had a price of 5c per pound until
after they were harvested and out
of the hands of the producer, when
the price jumped to 10c. Apples
moved from 10c per pound to 20c
after they were harvested.
Other policies are causing con
fusion. The administration is ask
ing for 105 million pigs in 1944,
about 30 million less than the 1943
crop. It is bound to result in a
scarcity of pork. One agency is
asking for fewer milk cows and
another is demanding more milk.
One says the chicken crop should
be cut by 16% while another says
we must have more eggs. Just
how are they going to fit these
together? For almost a year now
Congress has tried to get action
I on a bill requiring the President
to put the food program under
one head, but the administration
has kept the bill buried in com
mittee.
Drive For World Peace
Effective
The concerted drive being un
dertaken by a strong religious de
nomination, to impress upon Con
gress the fact that many people
desire this country to co-operate
with other nations to insure a
lasting peace built on the founda
tion of Christian principles, is
very effective. Every member of
Congress realizes that such a
movement is in progress. This
drive is the more effective because
the members know that it is not
instigated by selfish motives.
Although members of Congress
have different ideas as to how
this greatly desired result can be
best brought about, the over-1
whelming majority believe that,
next to winning the war in the
shortest possible time, this is their
most important duty. That this is
true is evidenced in the large ma
jorities with which the House
passed the Fulbright Resolution
and the appropriation bill en
abling the United Statees to par
ticipate in the United Nations Re
lief and Rehabilitation Adminis
tration.
On the Blacklist
iuui rt?pi eaenuiiive in v^on*
gress, along with all the other
Nebraska representatives, has
been placed on the CIO’s black
list. CIO’s Committee for Action
will soon have its three million
dollars available for the purpose
of electing to Congress memoers
who are sympathetic to what it
considers tne “views of labor.” It
is understood that as much as 100
thousand dollars will be spent in
certain districts to insure the de
feat of members unsympathetic
to their views. Many leaders of
this committee have in the past af
filiated with communistic groups.
More will soon be heard about
this from the Dies Committee.
Many members of labor organiza
tions resent this political action
and the use of their money, but
they must pay their assessments
or be kicked out. If they refuse
and) are kicked out of their union,
it means the los’ of their jobs.
Academy Nominations
I have made the following nom
inations for the three vacancies
from the Fourth district at the
military academy at West Point.
Those who are chosen will enter
in July, 1944. These young men
were named on the basis of the
grades they attained in an exam
ination given under the auspices
of the civil service commission:
Principal, Theodore Bruce Bue
chler of Grand Island; first alter
nate, Herbert Owen Brennan of
O’Neill; second alternate, Richard
A. Banta of Sidney; third alter
nate, Robert A. Thompson of At
kinson.
Principal, John Albert Heyde of
Scottsbluff; first alternate, Charles
B. Martin of Kearney: second al
ternate, Leonard Bahensky of St. |
Paul; third alternate, Charles J.
Humphrey of Sutherland.
Principal, Donald E. Craig of
Sidney; first alternate, Charles W. j
Hill of Kearney; second alternate,;
Fay E. Fuscher of Irwin; third al-1
ternate, Robert J. Reed of Morrill. 1
Five Varieties Of
Seedlings Exhausted
Farmers and ranchers who are
planning to order Clarke McNary
seedlings this spring will be anx- :
ious to learn that the supply of
four varieties of broadleaf seed
ligs are already exhausted and
several others are running low.
Supplies of Boxelder, Russian
Olice, Caragana, Soft Maple are
gone.
There is a good supply of Red
Cedar and some other varieties
left but tarmers who plan on plac
ing orders are encouraged to do
so at once.
At the present time there have
been orders for 31,900 seedlings in
Holt county. This number ranks
well up to the top of the orders
in Nebraska.
BONDS OVSR AMERICA
Early in the 19th cen
tury a storekeeper and
gristmill operator at
Henderson, Kentucky,
took to studying birds
as an antidote for en
nui and added much to
man’s knowledge of
ornithology. His name
is a byword to this
day. It is John James
Audubon.
John Audubon
Keep On
Backing Ike Attack
With War Bonds
Only the knowledge of
despotism, destruction,
‘ killing, maiming brings
I one to the surface of
' Naziism. It has no place
for gentle souls; only
Himmlers, Schleichers,
von Papens, Heydrichs.
Bond Drive On Fourth
War Loan Still Lags
The Fourth War Loan Drive has
been extended on E, F and G
bonds until February 29th. Holt
county is lagging in the drive, but
an extension of time will permit
the citizens of Holt county to go
over the top in this drive. Tabu
lations as of February 15 show
that about two-thirds of Holt
county’s quota has been purchas
ed to date.
There is still ample time and
sufficient funds available in Holt
county to reach our quota of
$650,000. We are appealing to the
farmers and ranchers who have
not, as yet, invested in any type
of government securities to prove
their loyalty to the boys on the
fighting front and to the Ameri
can flag to make this purchase
within the next ten days.
If you are an American citizen,
this is your war as much as it is
those who are supporting the war
effort and you cannot conscien
tiously sit back and refuse to buy
bonds or support the financing of
this war, knowing that in the fu
ture when Holt county’s veterans
return to the homes they have
been protecting that they will
have the knowledge of who has
been supporting their efforts in
the campaign that they have suc
cessfully completed.
This appeal comes from Holt
County’s War Finance Committee
and it is high time to take an in
ventory and invest in bonds. So-1
licitors are urged to renew their
efforts in order to put Holt county ;
over the top before the close of:
this campaign, which would mean |
that all purchases should be issued
not later than February 26 so that
they may clear through the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, at the close of
business on February 29.

Telephone Co. Employees
Liberal War Bond Buyers
A local bond drive, being con
ducted jointly by the Northwest
ern Union of Telephone Workers
and the management of the North
western Bell Telephone Company

ing the Fourth War Bond Drive,
to date has produced the follow
ing results for the period January
1 to February 15:
Number of employees partici
pating, 12. Cash purchase of new

J. Harrington, O’Neill, president;
William C. Smith, Long Pine, vice
president; Arthur Weber, Bassett,
seereta ry - treas urer.
Judge Harrington is celebrating
his fiftieth year as a practicing
attorney in this Judicial District,
which makes him one of the oldest
—in years of service—practicing
attorneys in his section of the
state. The fifty years, with the
exception of two terms he served
as District Judge in the old Dis
trict, has been spent in practicing
in this section of Nebraska. Fifty
years is a long time for a man to
be engaged in any line of business
or profession but the Judge
seems to enjoy the life for he is
still going strong.
In the evening a banquet was
served the members of the associ
ation in the dining room of the
Golden Hotel, where the wants of
the inner man was satisfied.
Judge Lyle Jackson and Senator
Elmer Rakow, both of Neligh,
were guests at the banquet. Judge
Mounts served as toastmaster and
several of the speakers on this oc
casion complimented Judge Har
rington for the many years he
had spent as a member of the bar
of this city and state and ex
pressed the wish and hope that he
would be able to continue in prac
tice for many years to come.
