Life of Roy
Cochran Has
Been Busy One
Since Boyhood Days on Cass County
Farm, Democratic Candidate Has
Been in Active Service.
1
Roy Cochran vas born on a Cass
county farm forty-eight years ago.
When a small boy he crossed the
state with his father in a covered
wagon. They followed the old Mor
mon Trail. On this trip he learned,

The destination of the Cochran
family was a new home on a Lincoln
county farm between Brady and
North Platte. Their first home wa3 a
sod house, and one of the high spots
of his boyhood was when the dirt
floor of the soddy was covered with a
wooden floor.
The rural school near the farm
was a small one-room soddy. Roy
Cochran's school year was just the;
reverse of the present school year.
He attended school three months dur
ing the coldest winter months, and
worked the other nine. During his
boyhood In the early nineties, when
Nebraska had year after year of
drouth and grasshoppers, there was
not much but work for a boy on a
western Nebraska farm. Toys and
books were scarce. As a young boy
he loved to read, and often walked
miles to a kindly neighbor who glad
ly loaned him books from his meager
library.
The farm home was situated near
the banks of the Platte river. The
present which made Roy Cochran
the happiest of any he had, or ever
will get. was a pair of skates. He
learned to skate on the Platte river
with a pair of assorted skates, one
of which was three Inches longer
than the other.
When he was twelve years old he
spent all day Christmas shucking
j corn and happily anticipating tne
Christmas celebration which was to
be held in the little sod school house
are used and recommended the world
over. Get them from any druggist.

I for every one living in the neighbor
hood. He knew it had been a hard
year for the family and didn't really
expect a present, but it didn't do any
harm to hope. He worked in the field
until dark, and then after supper
rode in the lumber wagon to the
school house to see the Christmas
tree. When the presents were dis
tributed, all the neighborhood chil
dren received presents bats, balls
dolls, candy and Roy's heart began
to sink, "Va3 there anything for
him?" As the last package was pick-
I 11 n it tlia r$o-Vi Vh-t ti- Vi r on or art
tally impersonated Santa Claus, he
held his breath for a minute. "Roy
Cochran" was the name called, and
the package he received held a pair
of Klipper Klub skates. The price
mark which had not yet been re
moved disclosed that the purchase
price had been fifty-five cents. Roy
says nothing that he could ever get
now could possibly bring the Joy of
that Christmas evening around the
tree In the little old sod school
house.
For five happy years he rode his
pony five miles a day back and forth
to the Brady high school. High school
days over the faithful pony was
still to play a big part in his career.
Hearing of a farmer living some dis
tance away in the sand hills, who
needed a horse, he rode out to his
farm, sold the pony for seventy dol
lars, and walked back the twenty
miles to board the train for Lincoln.
The pony money supplemented by
almost every kind of work furnished
the capital for his university edu
cation. He was graduated from the
Civil Engineering deDartment in
1910.
His first engineering: Job was work
ing for the Santa Fe. He was hired
for thirty-five dollars a month. After
looking over his application papers
the man in charge said, "Oh, I see
you are a University graduate. In
that case we will pay you more
Your salary will be forty dollars a
month."
He left the Santa Fe to become a
surveyor in Lincoln county. He was
elected twice on the Democratic
ticket, the second time by an In
creased majority, although Lincoln
county was then a Republican
stronghold.
In 1915 he began working for the
department of Public Works. His
flr3t Job was a state bridge inspector.
and under his supervision the beau
tifully arched steel bridge on the
Lincoln Highway east of North
Platte was built. Governor Morehead
gave him his first appointment.
In 1917 Governor Keith Neville
made him deputy state engineer. War
was declared soon after he came to
Lincoln, and although above draft
age he entered the first training
camp at Fortress Monroe. In De
cember, 1917, he wat sent to France
among the first of the American Ex
peditionary Force. He served in the
army eighteen months, coming out
with the rank of Captain in th
Coast Artillery.
Upon his return from France he
was married to Aileen Gantt, the
granddaughter of Chief Justice Dan
iel F. Gantt, a pioneer Nebraskan.
9t the time of their marriage, Mrs
Cochran was county superintendent
of schools in Lincoln county, a posi
tion which she held for eight years
They now have two children, Mary
Aileen who was born on Christmas
day twelve years ago, and Robert
LeRoy .Jr., who was ten in August.
In 1923 Governor Bryan appoint
ed Roy Cochran state engineer. He
has served In this position continu
ously thru the Democratic and Re
publican administration up until he
accepted the filing for nomination
for governor of Nebraska, the 3rd
day of July, 1934. 1
STUDY MOLASSES AS FEED
Washington. Secretary Wallace
said the department of agriculture
was studying the possibility of us
ing molasses made from surplus su
gar cane in insular areas as livestock
feed In this country. The proposal for
such use was submitted by repre
sentatives of Philippine island pro
ducers, the secretary said.
"Molasses is about equal, pound
for pound, to corn," Wallace said,
"and the problem is chiefly one of
handling."
AAA Administrator Davis endorsed
the plan saying that use of molasses
from this source for feed purposes
would be in keeping with the ad
justment administration policy of
drawing such unneeded surpluses to
supply deficiencies whenever this can
be done.
A very extensive program of ac
tivities has been arranged by Elmer
Hallstrom, chairman of the uemo
crtic central committee, for the re
maining weeks of the campaign.

The Mississippi Valley association
is anxious to see at least 15 million

souri river channel development this

tive vice-president of the associa
tion, at Omaha from St. Louis yes
terday. He conferred with C. E. Childe
chairman of the traffic committee of
the Mississippi Valley association:
and addressed a luncheon meeting
sponsored by the Chamber of Com
merce waterways committee. Rufus
E. Lee, chairman, presided.
Mr. Macleay urged big delegations
from Omaha and the entire Missouri
watershed at the annual meeting of
the Mississippi Valley association 1

Speakers will include Secretary
War Dern, who now Is on an in

valley: Transportation Co-Ordinator
j Eastman, United States senator an
coneressmen from central western
states, and leading Industrialists o
the area.
"The upper Missouri channel
ought to be finished and in use two
years from now," he said. "Army
engineers are working at top bpeed
on present projects and could con
tinue at a fast pace. There is nc
reason why this work can't be fin
Ished without delay and the benefits
made available to our shippers
"Until we can get low-cost dlstri
button for our heavy products," he
continued, "Industry in thl3 section
cannot reach extensive markets in
competition with seaboard and great

"We are anxious to develop Indus

That's the proper way."
Des Moines, la., Oct. 19. A fed
eral district court ruling that the
secretary of agriculture cannot li
cense or regulate the business of a
dairy where It Is conducted entirely
within a state will not halt efforts
to enforce the milk license in the
Des Moines area, officials indicated
tonight.
William O. Perdue, market milk
administrator here, said his enforce
ment attempts will continue, with a
view to "protecting the interests ol
the producers who benefit through
the stabilized market for milk." He
added that a final decision must come
from the supreme court.
Judge Dewey denied the federal
government's request for a tempo
rary injunction against the Hllcrest
dairy of Des Moines. It was alleged
that the dairy had violated provisions
of the AAA and the milk license pro
mulgated under the statute for the
Des Moines sales area.
"The government dees not claim
that the production of milk and lt3
sale within a state are Interstate
commerce but that the price paid to
producers by the defendants (the
dairy) as distributors has a substan
tial and direct effect upon Interstate
commerce," Judge Dewey said In
part.
