with the parents, Rev. Pangborn took

be loading six cars per day with an
increased force of workmen. At pres
ent the force consists of some twelve
or fifteen men, but more than double
that number will be required soon.

geed sized payroll that will be doub
ly welcome during the winter months
when general employment is usually
at a standstill, and much of the mon
ey received from this source will find
it3 way into the tills cf the business
houses of the community, being re

Ask Eight Hon
More for Roads
Request for Federal Job Funds to
Be Made at Capital Soon; Rep
resented at CWA Meet.
Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 13. Governor
Bryan tonight said he will ask the
new federal civil works administra
tion for an allotment of approximate
ly eight million dollars for addition
al road vork in Nebraska. The gov

meeting in Washington Wednesday
by State Tax Commissioner W. H.
Smith and State Engineer Roy
Cochran.
The Nebraska representatives will
ask for an amount equal to its last
emergency road allotment and will
ask that it be used for road work,
which would make a total of 16 mil
lion dollars 'which the state would
have to build secondary roads.
Smith today accepted an Invitation
by Harry Hopkins, relief administra
tor, to head the new setup in Ne
braska, but will defer notification of
county committees until he returns
from Washington with some definite
information.
"We hope to make this fund avail
able for road work," he said, "in
connecting country districts with
main highways. That would be vir
tually all hand and team labor, re
quiring little machinery and would
be of most benefit to the people."

Sally: "Really? Tell me about if, Helen." Helen: "Well, as I use

Helen: "I have mere time than Dick and have learned some sur

gas and oil sold at approximately the same price were of equal
