Hollywood Sophisticated Holly

skating. The sport attracted a few
devotees about the time of the bicycle
craze, but it is now being taken up
In earnest by Vir

other skaters when
they showed up

If you would make life easier for
the studio police chiefs, please do
not send suspicious looking packages
to vnur favorite stars. So many
threats have been directed against
film people that they never take a
chance on opening a package that

gift boxes arc promptly turned over
to the ttudio police head who has
the nerve-wracking job of identify

each package is opened under water,
there's always that outside chance.

Pretty nice, what Sam Briskin, of
Columbia, did for that little movie
f. truck kid from Brawley, Cal. Her
name is Sallie Anderson and she
drove all the way to Hollywood to
get an autographed picture of young
Robert Allen, whom she first admired
when he was posing for ads in the
magazines. Unfortunately, Allen was
en r:ca location near Catalina when
Sillle arrived. Somebody happened
to mention the incident to Briskin.
Taking pity on the kid, he had her
sent over to the S. S. Ruth Alexan

and get a day's work as an extra be

TWELVE RULES SET FOR
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
The following twelve rules are
actually the logical outgrowth of
experence. They are rules framed
from analyzing the collective exper
ience of people of Judgment and taste,
and will doubtless be a confirmation
of your own good taste in flower ar
rangement. They are suggested by
the Platt3inouth Garden club:
Rule 1. The strong lines should
be at the base, thus creating stabil
ity and balance, such as placing dark
colored flowers, or heavy leaves, or
large blossoms low and near the cen-
ter.
Rule 2. Balance should be obtain
ed without perfect symmetry.
Rule 3, There should be no cross
ing of stems or branches.
Rule 4. There should be an un
even number of sprays, flowers or
large leaves used.
Rule 5. Always avoid a confusion
of lines in a mass arrangement.
Rule 6. No two or more flowers cr
sprays should be exactly on the same
Jlevel
RUtr -7-r rjew oro omore Uowcts
or sprays should be exactly above
one another.
Rule 8. No two or more flowers
or sprays should be of exactly the
same length.
Rule 9. Always avoid weak lines
or weak curves.
Rule 10. Never use a spray of
weak growth between two of strong
growth, or vice versa, that is, never
sandwich."
Rule 11. Always avoid combin
ations culturally or seasonally im
possible.
Rule 12. Perfect balance in a line
arrangement can be obtained by
keeping the highest point over its
base.

Acting State Relief Director Would
Double the Present Available
Space in Nebraska.
Plans to double the capacity of Ne
braska's transient camps are now
being laid, it was disclosed, but suit
able sites for additional camps have
not yet been offered.
Harrv Elmore, acting state relief i
director, said the Omaha camp hous
ing 1,000 men and the small camp at
Plattsmouth where some of the
younger men stay have proved inade
quate, and hoboes are back on the
road again. He and John McPhcr
son, head of the transient program,
hope to have facilities for 1,000 more
men before winter comes.
They have suggested that part of;
Indian school at Genoa, recently giv
en to the state by the federal gov
ernment, be used to house one camp;"
that the National Guard camp at;
Ashland be used for another, and
the old CCC camp at Chadron for a
third. Overtures have been made to
the authorities concerned in each'
case but no replies have been re-
ceived.
Elmore said the Genoa institution j
could be used for transients even if!
300 epletics were housed there as
proposed, because there would be
plenty of extra spacp-

Analyze Value of Bcokkeeuing
Good home management stresses
the importance of budgeting one's in
come, so as to give a well balanced
living. The wemen in the county
who have kept heme account books
for three years have practically a
budget, as derived from the average
expenditures on each item of living
for a three year period. Of course
these are not complete budgets which
can be used outright but it does
give a sit of figures from which those
farm families can easily pla napproxi
mately how much will be required
to take care of their family accord
ing to their desired standard of liv
ing. From these figures they can ana
lyze their expenditures to determine
how satisfactory they have been and
what adjustments they would like
to make to provide a more satisfac
tory living for another year. For
example one may, in checking over
their records, find that they bought
two pairs of cheaper shoeis in place
of their usual one pari of good qual
ity, thereby spending mere, being
dissatisfied and discovering that in
telligent choices are essential for
economy. Also, if you had available
more products from your farm could
vcu Lave reduced the cash spent for
food. The average of all books kept
bowed almost two-thirds of the food
used was products produced on the
farm.
Summaries such as these, women
have, make such ananalyois possible
for better planning of ones spending
for the coming year.
Wheat Program Is
Unchanged for 1935.
No change was made in the bene
fit r.avnpnts. reduction leauired. or
processing tax of the wheat adjust
ment program for 1935. Secretary
Wallace, in making the announce
ment. said he might change the
amount of reduction to a percentage
below 15 per cent during the next
;ix weeks if he thought it wise to
lo so.
Unless otherwise notified, wheat
contract signers, will be required to
lay cut 15 per cent of their wheat
acreage as rented or contracted acres
for 1035, the notice to the- Cass Coun
ty allotment committee said. If the
secretary should change the reduc
tion to 10 cr 12 per cent befora the
first cf August, farmers can easily
nrenare a little more ground and
seed the wheat.
Contract signers may seed up to
S3 per cent of the base acreage on
their contracts again this fall and
next spring for 1933 harvest. Noth
ing was said in the announcement
about the 54 per cent minimum re
quirement, but it is assumed that this
requirement will be in force during
the coming year.
Benefit payments will be the same
as last year. Farmers who show com
pliance by turning in the compliance
blanks now will automatically get
the first installment of 20 cents per
bushel cf the 1934 payment in Octo
ber of this year. Another nine cents
less expense of the county associa
tion, will be paid when the farmer
has complied next spring. When the
contract signer receives his October
dheck this year, he will ibe hair
through cashing wheat payment
checks for his two years of reduc
tion. Processing tax of 30 cents per
bushel on wheat used for human
food will continue. The tax to date
has paid for all the benefit payments
due farmers up to this time.
Whest Contract Signers to
