Fanners Tattle Chinch Bugs Th- first round cf the battle with the chinch bugs is about over in this county with those farmers who fol lowed directions reporting a victory with the creosote barriers. Chinch bugs which survived the ciesote at tack have grown wings and taken to the air. What will, happen when the- next crop cf bugs hatch out re mains to b seen. Ordinarily, the sec ond, brocd of bugs do not. do as much damage as this one. A check up in the Farm Bureau office shows that farmers of tms county used about COO'J gallons ot the creosote furnished by the gov ernment. Since a barrel supplied enough creosote to maintain a half mile barrier for ten days, the battle front cf this county stretched out for about 120 miles. Latest word from the state head quarters at Lincoln is that the farm ers n.' ed not return the barrels. If any farmers have a little creosote left, they should pass it on to some other party in the neighborhood who is a little short, or report to the coun ty office. Over twenty cars of the creosote have b- n used ir. tiic state. Reports coming in to the st-.te office are that the me:) who scraped o;T smooth strip along the edge of th.fir corn fields, dug the p:st holes as directed, anti strug rut the creosote care a day were 90 to 100 p r cent success ful in keeping the bugs out of the corn. Th- mipply used in the .state would have maintained a barrier 1000 mile; long for f n days, or a barrier entirely a round the statu for a week. Heme Account Eunarjj Shows Chr.r,gc3 Setv.x-cn 1331-1033 The drop in farm product prices during 1931 a: d 1932 was very evi dent from tl.r- ICS home account lec ort'.s turned in for summarization. These showed that the lowest point cf spending for many articles such as food, clothing, operating expenses, auto expenses, and gifts came in 1932. The big drop in total living also came in that year and continued to decrease in 1933. Saving,:, which was chiefly life in surance, continued to drop during the three years, for three reasons, in cluding: paid up policies, loans on policies which did not necessitate cash expenditures and discontinued policies.

After the wheat supervisors and clerks had finished the blanks, the county allotment committee goes over them and signn a certificate ap proving the statements made by the farmer and the supervisor. No pay ments will be made by the secretary unless the county allotment commit tee approves the blanks. As soon as the compliance blanks are accepted in Washington, a check will be drawn covering the second installment c the 1923 payment. This is to be 9 ents per bushel on the allotment for the contract, less j the cost of operating the wheat as j roeiation for the rar-t year in this ; county. Getting the next check will j automatically entitle the contract j signer to the first ins tallment of the j 193-1 payment, which is to be made j in October, 1S34. Ccrne to 4-H Club Camp! As announced in a circular letter mailed to all club members ami lead ers, the annual district 4-II club camp will be held at Camp Eellevue. July 22-2 5. Camp opens Sunday evening, July 22 and closes "Wednesday after noon, July 5th. The four days' pro gram wil be varied and interesting, as always, with plenty of time set aside for rest and relaxation. The program will include class hours for working on crafts under the instruc tion of specialists, organized games, swimming periods, stunt night, ves pers, etc. Even though camp is scheduled a little earlier thn usual this year, we do not believe that it will cut the attendance since reg ular farm work is well advanced and the harvest season will be ever by that time. Ask your club lcadr-r for applica tion blank and any information you desire. Application blanks must be in the cflk-e cf the Agents by July 19th. HOPKEJS IS GOING AS H CAD Washington Harry L. Hopkins, who has been so busy lately he hasn't had time to get his hair cut, began his vacation by deftly point ing out his office window a series of questions asked him by newspaper men.

Hopkins will combine travel with a study of social insurance and housing laws in European countries in preparation for legisition next session. IJut ho frankly tcid his interroga tors he was going on a "vacation" and that on- of his reasons "is to get away from you birds." "Low r.bout the Maryland situa tion?" someone asked. "Right where it was and is," Hopkins replied. "Arc you going at government ex pense?" "I most certainly am," said the: unperturbed administrator. "Is anyone going with you?' "Mrs. Hopkins." lie peerried queries about this and that allocation until a question on the "hituation in general." "That's going a little too far." laughed Hopkins. "To hell with that question."

A fife Roy Cochran to Make Race for Governor State Road Engineer Accepts Peti tions That Had Bzen Filed Plac ing His Name on Ballot. Late Tuesday afternoon at Lincoln, Hoy Cochran, state road engineer, made his acceptance of the petitions filed asking that his name be placed on the ballet at the August primary as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. A native Nc-braskan, reared on Nebraska farms, and still the owner of his father's old farm in Lincoln county, a product of Nebraska's edu cational facilities and for more than a decade in charge of the state's rGad development program and irrigation bureau. Cochran finally broke a sil ence of more than two months as to his plans. While petitions poured into the secretary of state's office from all sections of the state, Cochran smiled, said nothing or just advised his friends he was "building reads, not ' x ' '-;:::e. ::. :- - j-'vX;"- x : ;.::.:. ex-.-.." :-:; -. ROY COCHRAN political fences" and went about his business. Granted Fmicagh. He was granted a leave of absence frcm his duties until after the pri mary, and the bureau put in charge of Arthur Lobdell, as acting state engineer. "The privilege of having had a part in building the state road system, without creating any in debtedness." Cochran said, "has been such a satisfaction to me that I have been somewhat re luctant to accept this filing. "As a result, however, of the requests, which have come from all over the state by petitions, letters and personal calis. urg ing me to become a candidate for governor, I have come to feel that I could be of greater serv ice to my native state in the of fice of governor than in my pres ent position. "These earnest demands have convinced me that as governor of Nebraska, I would be given the united support of its citizens in working for the things most needed by and of the greatest benefit to the majority of its citizens." Stands cn Record. Cochran said he would run for gov ernor independently of any slate or group and that his campaign would be me.do on his record of public ser vice. As governor, he said, he would employ "the same business efficiency in all state departments as I have always used i:i the department oS roads and irrigation." Cochran raid he favored a continu ation of tlie present tax reduction program "at lia.,t until such time as the revenue from the farm, fac tory and business generally, has suf ficiently increased to justify greater governmental expenditures." He op poses any new form of taxation. The engineer said he favors the continuation of the present highway program "which includes not only improvement cf the main routes but also extension of the secondary and feeder roads, that the farmer may be served in marketing his products. "I favor the utilization of the waste waters cf the state. I believe my residence in North Platte in the heart of th? irrigated district, my ownership of a farm near there, and my experience as irrigation engineer over a long period of years In admin istering the waters of the state, qual ifies me to co-operate and assist in the development and administration of needed projocts." Nebraska U Graduate. Cochran was born on a Cass county farm west of Avoc-a. When he was 6 years old, his parents moved to Lin coln county via the covered wagon route and he has considered that his hone since. lie rode back and forth to school daily to get through Brady High school where he graduated in 1DC6 and in 1010 graduated frcm the University cf Nebraska engineering ccEege. He spent a year witli the Santa II mm v 5, J 5 AM t2 : i 'tea On in Full Blast Bargains in Everything Specials Every Day Fe railroad at Chillicothe, 111., and in 1011 was elected county .surveyor cf Lincoln county.

L. Yates, pubheher c.; t ij n c r- idan ( Wyo. Pioneer, says: "Did ycu ever stop te think how we know what wo are buying? How we know what Del Mnr.t-- tomatoes lock like unless we s e their pic ture? It isn't enough to hear about them. How do we know a Ford from a Chevrolet? Certainly the prices don't tell us. The pictures of the cars do. "A lovely pair of shee-r hose a smart brand of perfume a fur coat and an ice box to ecrnpi-teiy satisfy the buyer must be see:;. Descriptions alone don't turn the trick. Prices tell only part of the stoiy. "And don't forget that what is written need never bo lo-t. What we hear we forget. What flickers he fore cur eyes on a silver screen is relegated to an uncertain memory. But what is in black and white can t'.lways he refrreu to, looked at, studied and judged.

After discussing methods pursued in making sales estimates, and how budgeting is applied to cost of pro duction, research and experimental work, sab s department expenses and advertising. Mr. Br.nfieid says: "One of cur primary sales jobs has been to re-sell the idea of ccal. Two years ago we found that our adver tising was more elective if we let our customers tell the story instead of publishing merely our own claims. We developed a type of advertising copy that cites the actual experience of our users. As a result of this type. of advertising, our inquiries in 19'U increased by 97 p r cent, over the previous year." Mr. Banfield's company has plants in a number of large cities in the United States and Canada, and main tains a sales force of more than a thousand persons in this country and in Canada and other foreign lands.
