With farm comm.uities and land

Frank -A. O'Connor, general agent of

farmers have on hand," he declared.
"Two years ago that supply of corn
would have been worth about 514,
4 00,000. Today it is worth $144,
000.000." Calling attention to the $205,000,
000 in long-term, marketing and
production credit extended during!
1931 to farmers of Iowa, Nebraska,!
South Dakota and "Wyoming, General
Agent O'Connor said the four per-!
manent units of the Omaha Farm!
Credit Administration are doing biui-
. . . t
ncsa with more than iOO.000 farm-
farmers in the district.
A growing realization of the ne
cessity tor stable and dependable
sources of credit is molding a farmer
controlled credit structure that
augurs well for the future financial
operations of our farmers," he said.
."In my opinion the Farm Credit
act is the most constructive legisla
tion given the nation in recent years,
for it plants the 3eeds of recovery
where they belong in the soil."
Despite the most devastating
drought in history, the percentage of
delinquencies cn outstanding loans
of the Federal Land Bank of Omaha
decreased 12.3 per cent during the
last 12 months, he reported.
"This commendable repayment re
cord proves two points," added Gen
eral Agent O'Connor. "First, it shows
that the farmer is better able to pay
than he was a year ago, due to the
upswing in commodity prices and
the refinancing of debts on a long
term program.
"Second, it is an eloquent tribute
to the farmer's determination to pay
his debts. He i3 quick to realize that
in 'playing ball' with the Farm
Credit Administration he is not only
safeguarding his own credit reputa
tion but is contributing to the per
petuation of this great co-operative
credit system so that It will be pre-
! be $1,300,000,000 annually in forty-
hve years was reported to congres
sional committees.
The expert witness, Edwin E.
Witte, former secretary of the Wis
consin industrial commission, spent
five hour3 before the committee ex
plaining the ramifications of old age
pensions, unemployment .insurance,
child welfare, mothers' aid and health
He
presented long and intricate tables
worked out by actuaries to show the
cost cf eld age pensions for the first
year would be 50 millions for the
federal government and at least that
much by the states. He figured that
more states would have the plan in
operation by the second year and 125
millions would be needed.
Witte explained that the plan pre
sented in the administration's bill
cculd be made much cheaper if the
committee desired. To do this, he
said, it would be necessary to cut
! out the provisions for helping the
J persons now reaching middle age.
Witte said most of the states, even
those already having old age pension
iav.s, would have to make some legis
lative changes before their statutes
j would measure up to the require-
, ments. laid down in the bill before
the committee. He explained that
some of the states have laws which
permit counties to pay old age pen
sions, but do not make it mandatory.
Others have age limits too high to
make them eligible for federal aid.

Witte said several of them were not
operative at all, and others only par
tially so.
The marriage of Miss Grace Mc
Ginn, of Omaha and Dr. Frank R
Molak of this city, occurred on Tues
day at the residence of Father George!
Agius, pastor cf the St. John's Cath
olic church.
The wedding was witnessed by Leo
Molak, a brother of the groom and
Miss Kay McMahan, both of Omaha.
Dr. and Mrs. Molak are to make
their home here and expect to start
housekeeping at once in the home
they have arranged for their occu
pancy. The bride is one of the accom
plished and popular ladies of Omaha
and has a large circle of friends in
her home community who will learn
with pleasure of the new happiness
of the young people.
Dr. Mclak has made his home in
this city for the past year and has
built up a large and lucerative prac
tice in his dental profession and is
a young man who is held in the high
est respect and esteem by a large
circle of friends in the city and vi
cinity. The Journal with their friends
joins in wishing Dr. and Mrs. Molak
all of the happiness they so well deserve.
