Purposes and Work.
Norfolk. Neb. Cooperation war
the keynote that war. sounded by
Mrs. W. W. Day, Lincoln, president
of the Nebraska Parent-Teacher as-
ociation, in an address opening the
sessions of the organization's annual
convention here tonight. The meet
ing will continue thru Friday.
Referring to the objects of the as
sociation. Mrs. Day said "we are
body of fathers, mothers and teachers
who beleive in putting 'first things
first.' "
The speaker asserted the prime
purposes cf the organization are (1)
To promote child welfare in the
home, school, church and commun
ity; to raise the standards of home
life; to secure more adequate laws
ior the care and protection of women
and children. (2) To bring intc
closer relation the home and the
school, that parents and teacher may
cooperate intelligently in the train
ing of the child; and to develop be
tween educators and the general pub
lie such united efforts as will secure
for every child the highest advan
tages in physical, mental, moral and
spiritual education.
"The arousing of public conscious
ness to the necessary unity of educa
tion has been a long, slow process
The curriculum Is considered hope
lessly out of date that does not in
clude physical and the moral as well
as themental training, the develop
ment of the whole child body
brains and character," the speaker
declared.
"This is the field of the profes
sional educators, but there is another
unity in education with which they
cannot deal alone that in separa-
bleness of the child and its heredity
and environment; that relationship
to the home and the community ar
well as to the school, which makes
up the total of its life."
"The community has a right to de
mand teachers who posses unques
tioned moral character, high intelll
gence, and - sound scholarship and
some natural teaching ability, anc'
skill in management and instruction
which come thru training," A. V
Teed of the Wayne state normal told
the meeting.
Some responsibility that has been
placed upon the school could be bet
ter taken care of in the home. The
home should develop right attitudes
and provide an environment in which
it is as easy for a child to do good
as to be bad. If dad talks too much
about getting by he must not be sur
prised if son decides to trv out on
dad. No reason whv teachers should
be expected to make sacrifices for the
sake of your child and my child
which we, as parents, are not will
ing to make. First things should
be first and if we are to have youne
men and women of fine character we
must first have teachers of high char
acter, working in communities that
rate character first."

Charged With Embezzling $26,511
From Blue Valley State Bank
and Forging Warrant.
W. E. Stewart, former cashier and
managing officer of the Blue Valley
State bank of Spring Ranch, Clay
county, is under arrest on the charge
of embezzlement and rorgery and
will be given a preliminary hearing
in court Wednesday, Otc. 19. Infor
mation of the arrest was received
Friday by Secretary Peterson of the
state guaranty fund commission from
County Attorney D. B. Massie of
Clay county who filed the complaint.
Embezzlement of $26,511.07 and the
forgery, with two other persons im
plicated, of a township warrant for
$2,000 is charged against Stewart.
The Blue Valley State bank which
was operated by Stewart was taken
over by the department of trade an
commerce and turned over to th
guaranty fund commission Aug. 14
1926 and has since been operated b;
the commission and is now practical
ly liquidated. Investigation of th
bank's affairs have been continuing
since it was turned over to the com
mission with the result that charge'
were filed against Stewart for embez
zlement. The details of the transac
tions complained of are not announc
ed by the guaranty fund commission
Secretary ePterson said Stewart's pri
vate bank account appeared to be
much mixed with the bank's ac
counts.. The names of the two oth
ers alleged to have been implicated
in forging a township warrant for
$2,000 are not given. Stewart bought
a large tractor to work upon the
roads to take the place of a smaller
tractor which he had hired out for
that purpose, and the alleged forged
township warrant turned up in the
bank and it alleged to have been used
to pay for the large tractor.
W. E. Stewart was former cashier
of the Blue Valley State bank. W. A.
Stewart was president, E. Stewart
vice president a'nd J. V. Stewart as
sistant cashier. Its capital stock U

Upwards of $50,000 saving will be
realized by the state of Nebraska this
year on one item of the food bill for
7,000 inmates and 1,000 employes at
if. 17 penal and charitable institu
tions, as the result of harvesting a
big crop of potatoes on farm lands
owned or leased and operated in con
nection with most of thein.
Where the board of control had to
buy about 60 carloads of tubers a
years ago, following a season of
drought, and pay $3 to $3.50 per 100
pounda for them, it will be able tc
get through the coming' winter and
until the next growing season on 12
or 15 carloads, besides those growi;
at various institutions to supply
themselves. The price will be much
less than in 1926 probably about
$1.25 per hundredweight.
The gross outlay will not exceed
SC. 000 or $7,000, as compared with
3C0.000 last year. This is the dif
ference due to growing the greater
part of the spuds required to feed
the institution populations.
Surplus at Two Places.
The soldiers' home at Grand Is
land and the boys' industrial school
at Kearney will each have severa'
thousand bushels more potatoes than
their own inmates and employes can
consume. The surplus quantities will
either be sold locally or shipped tc
other institutions which do not have
?nuogh. Member E. T. Westervelt of
'he board of control state Thursday.
Three insane hospitals, the Bea
trice feeble-minded institute, the
men's reformatory at Lincoln, the
women's reformatory at York, and
ihe girls' training school at Geneva
ire presumed to have sufficient sup
plies for their own needs, as no re
juests have come from any of those
placets to buy potatoes.
Inquiry at the Lincoln hospital for
insane brought the information that
approximately 4.000 bushels of good
quality tubers will he gathered there
from 35 acres of planting. The in
stitution uses 25 bushels or more
daily. Its crop, at that rate, will
last for 5 months, or until the middle
of March.
The penitentiary is not so wel"
fixed. Only IS acres were put intc
potatoes this year, and the yield is
about 2,000 bushels. The daily con
sumption runs from IS to 20 bush
els, so that none will have to br
bought until about the end of Jan
uary. Five Don't Grow Them.
Few potatoes, or none at all, were
grown at the othopedic hospital or
the dependent children's home in Lin
coln, the school for the deaf at Oma
ha, the school for the blind at Ne
braska City, or the tuberculosis hos
pital at Kearney. The last named in
stitution will be taken care of ou
of the excess production of the boys'
industrial school. It will, of course
pay for them out of its maintenance

fund, and the money will go to the
institution supplying the spuds.
Two institutions at Milford th
soldier's home and the industriu'
home for women raised some po
tatoes but not enough to carry them
through till the next crop season.
They will need a carload between
them to fill the gap.
The board of control estimates five
or six carloads will have to be boush
for the penitentiary, but Warden
Fenton of that establishment believ:
that two or three carloads will suf
fice. Practically all institutions having
crop acreage grew abundant supplies
cf tomatoes, cabbage, turnips, car
rots, onions and other vegetables for
their own consumption. TTie peniten
tiary harvested 5,000 bushels of to
matoes and canned an enormou
quantity of them, while the vines are
still yielding enough for the tables.
It produced over 200 tons of cabbage
and put up dozens of barrels of
kraut.
The men's reformatory had so
many tomatoes it could not use all
of them and gave them away in
bushel lots to whoever would go after
them.

Many years ago the late Francis
G. Moore demonstrated that the pub

were consumed in expenses and only
; 10 per cent for losses. Like most
novel discoveries in economics, it
seemed a paradox anil never reached
popular understanding. But it was
true in principle. Expenses have
steadily increased, yet the rate of
premium has as steadily decreased,
to gather with the ration of losses
per $100 at risk. An ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure.
I Insurance companies are behind
every development of architecture
and equipment to minimize the pos
