organization of a branch of the as
sociation in Cass county.
The new association which is
formed along the lines of the recent
ly launched national association,
taking the position of the reduction
of the cost of government and the
lessening of the appropriations that
have annually been mounting.
The purposes of the association as
stated by their printed pamphlets is
to attack the problems of govern
ment from the point of view of its
mounting cost and the rapid and
unchecked increase in appropriations
and expenditures. It will center its
attention and concentiate it3 activ
ities principally upon public expen
ditures as the thing of first import
ance, for taxes must and will be
levied to meet them and so balance
the budget.
It is an association to investigate
and scrutinize thoroughly and criti
cally all proposed public appropria
tions and expenditures by any spend
ing and tax levying unit in Nebras
ka. It will strive to reduce all pos
sible expenditures and at the same
time not interfere with the efficiency
of government.

Wednesday at the Fair at Weeping
Water rings Addresses by
Republican Leaders.
From Thursday's Dally
The second day of the Weeping
Water county fair was held under
the most auspicious condition, those
who atended being given a very fine
opportunity to see the greatest of the
fair.
The Judging was done in all de
partments, with a vffry fine concert
during the forenoon by the Louis
ville Farmers band, kept the people
feeling fine.
In the whistling contest Ella Nel
son won honors. Dwight Harman
entertained in a cornet solo. The
Eagle quartet composed of Maxine
Wetenkamp, Elizabeth Bothwell,
Thelma Price and Elmer Longman,
entertained. liThere ,was space tor
dinner and visiting.
At 2:30 there were addresses made
by Col. W. R. Young, candidate for
sheriff on the republican ticket. He
was followed by A. H. Duxbury, can
didate for county judge, and later
Marcus Poteet made the address of
the afternoon, and this was followed
by many musical numbers. This
completed the matter of program for
the day with the exception of the
concert in the evening. During the
day and airplane was giving rides.
There was stunt flying at 1:30 and
also at 4:30 which entertained all
who like air flying.
The exhibits were most all in early
Wednesday morning, though there
was some belated which cam in later.
Wo cannot tell of them all but they
wlil come later when the reports of
the fair are made.
However in the agricultural hall
there was 415 entries, which is the
largest ever had at a county fair in
this county. Sixty-eight entries of
potatoes and such large smooth round
ones of all varieties, making it look
like Cass county was the greatest
place to grow any kind of fruits and
vpirptnhlos Thore was one hundred
- D - 1
and four entries in .field corn and
such corn, the very evidence of good
farming. There was jjilso twenty-two
entries made on popcorn. All surely
will grow and ; wit lj such corn it
looks like the seed h$t$eg. would find
a hard time getting farmers to buy
seed corn. ,
The other- things.-were in line
with the corn and which speaks well
for the county, the lands and the
farmers whoever they may be.
The field amusements resulted in
the summing of the sports. The ball
game which was played between
Slanley and Louisville .resulted in
Louisville winning by the score of
13 to 3. In the horse shoe games
the contest was individual and not
team contest, the winnings being
taken by Floyd Hojins, 1st; Law

ing all who came within the number
of counts for winninf.

during the next three weeks and are
expected to give satisfactory service
for that length of time without show
ing soil marks, whereas the white cap
of this type so often worn would be
unwearable within a short time.

club, to contain the name of every cap
buyer, will be made a part of the

lawn of the white house, with tne
more than 4 00 delegates grouped
about an improvised plaTTorm.
"This is, I trust," said Mr. Hoover,
"the last winter of this great calam
ity. Yet despite a dawning hope up
on the horizon, individual need in
the meantime may be greater than
before." The president asserted a
major task was to "maintain the
spiritual impulses in our people for
generous giving and generous ser
vice, in the spirit that each is his
brother's keeper."
"The need before us is immedi
ate." He said, "it i3 large. Millions
of men and women face the ap
proach of winter with fear in their
hearts. The children sense the dread

This campaign will b held Oct. 17
to Nov. 23.
Federal and state provisions for
relieving distress were "helpful,"
said Baker, but to them 'must be
added a devotion of every private re
source both to extend the funds
purely for relief and to preserve and
intensify the curative ministrations
of welfare and character building
agencies which are more critically
needed now than at any other time."
Altee Pomerene, chairman of the

said: "The ultimate responsibility
for furnishing relief and work re
