Housecleaning Made Easier

homemade cleaning solution which
would enable you to clean the paint
ed walls and woodwork in one third
the time you ordinarily spend for
this part of housecleaning? This is

home made cleaning solution demon

No Change in Rulings
on Contracted Acres
There have been no recent changes
in ruling relative to use of contract
ed acres, or land rented to the gov
ernment, under the agricultural ad
justment program. The recent report
relative to putting forage crops on
so-called free acres was interpreted
by some to mean that it was possible
to use contracted rcres for the pro
duction of forage or pasture crops
without any restriction. This is not
true contracted acres cannot be
used for any harvested crop.
Appraisal of contracted acres will
be completed by tne end of this week
and the community committees will
be through with checking the con
tracts this week. Summary sheets
are nearly completed for submission
to the state committee who will de
cide whether or not the county will
have to take a cut.

Government
Credit to Build
New Homes
National Administration Backs Pro
gram to Put Billion of
Capital to Wcrk.
Washington. The Roosevelt ad
ministration plans to place govern
ment credit back of a hom? building
program which is expected to put
more than a billion dollars of cau
tious private capital to work. Frank
C. Walker, director of the national
emergency council, said legislation
to carry out the proposal probably
would be sent to congress In a short
lime.
He told newspapermen the meas
ure in view would enable the treas
ury to guarantee the interest and
perhaps the principal of long-term
mortgages that would be issued on
new homes.
"It has been the feeling for a long
time," Walker said, "that the mort
gage market needs support. The pro
posal I am outlining is tentative but
it contemplates establishing require
ments for a standard type of mort
gage, maturing in fifteen or twenty
years. All the costs for the building
would be taken care of by the amor
tized mortgage and there would be
no need for a second mortgage. We
have made a survey .nd feel that the
government could guarantee the in
terest and perhaps the principal of
the mortgages with little risk to the
treasury.
"The mortgages will carry low in
terest rates, comparatively speaking,
and we feel they will be unusually
cafe investments. We are attempt
ing to stimulate capital goods indus
tries but this is not a relief proposi
tion. It is sound business, we be
lieve." Walker said one agency would di
rect the home program and that var
ious related activities including slum
clearance and subsistence homestead
activities would be under this organ
ization. The council director hinted
the federal home loan bank board
might be chosen as the central
agency.
NEMAHA RIVER FUNDS SOUGHT
Falls City, April 16. Problems of
raising $70,000 to enlarge the lower
end of a drainage ditch w ill be solved
at a meeting of land owners in dis
trict number 1 here Saturday. The
action was made necessary by a Ne
braska supreme court order.
The court decided the carrying ca
pacity of the Nemaha river from
Preston to the Missouri river should
be increased to 20,000 cubic feet per
cecond. The district comprises about
31,000 acres along the Nemaha river
from the Dawson vicinity to the Mis
souri river, about 30 miles.
The ditch, the court decided, must
be made larger to give protection
against flood waters to owners of ap
proximately 5,000 acres at the east
ern end of the district.
Henry Wyatt of Falls City, chair
man of the directors, believes it . will
be necessary to issue bonds to pay
for the improvements, and the cost
spread .over 10 years, and thus work
ing less hardship on the landowners.
If the bonds are not issued, the dis
trict could be assessed the cost of
improvement, which would be paid
by levy in one or two years.
ANTI-LONG MAN OUT AHEAD
Baton Rouge, La. With only
twenty-three precincts missing in
the sixth district congressional pri
mary, J. Y. Sanders, jr., anti-Huey
Long candidate, held a lead of more

sioner of agriculture in the Long
Allen state administration, but com
plete returns will be necessary to de
termine whether a second primary

On the basi3 of returns from 179 pre
cincts out cf a total of 202 Sanders
was twenty votes short of the neces
sary majority for election in the first
primary.

July 19, 19 0 5, and died in the Metho
dist hospital at Omaha April 13,

months and twenty-four days.
While Letha was still a child, her
parents removed to a farm near
Union and it was on this farm and
on another farm nearby to which
they later moved that Letha May
grew up, attending district school
and then Union high school. When
Letha was enly fourteen, her mother
died, leaving her to keep house
alone with her father, her little
brother having died in infancy.
As a young girl she joined the
Methodist Episcopal church at Union
and all her short life was a sincere
Christian. Her friend3 in the church
leve to recall that the first little
song Letha learned and the song she
sang when a baby to every visitor
at her home was: "There's not a
friend like the lowly Jesus, no, not
cne!"
She married John R. Chriswisser,
cf Nehawka, October 31, 1923. To
them two children were born, a girl,
Eileen, now eight, and a boy, Robert,
now only four years old.

living in the house her father built
in Nehawka many years ago, the
house where she played as a little
child. Husband and children and
father survive.
Letha was a happy, friendly
straightforward girl and a faithful
wife and loving mother. In the dark

vcr lining. She was never happier
than when with friends. How for
tunate that her last birthday was
brightened by a surprise visit from
a large party cf old friends from
Union and the old farm neighbor
hood. She was passionately devoted
to the memory cf her dead mothsr
and when she finally realized that
her own death was not far, requested
that her own funeral be arranged
like that of her mother, and even
that her body be brought home at
ten in the morning as her mother's
had been and dressed for burial like
her mother's. Letha's strongest trait
was generosity; she was always help
ing where help was needed, or else
just giving for the sake of giving,
and always giving cheerfully.
The funeral was held from the M.
E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:00
o'clock, conducted by W. A. Taylor,
of Union. A large number of the
friends were present and a profusion
of flowers bore testimony to the high
regard in which she had been held.
Interment was in the Mt. Pleasant
cemetery near Nehawka.
The pall bearers were cousins of
the deceased, being George Copenhav
