No longer does the old stigma attach itself to the foundling and foster child. Persons of all kinds seek foster children. Celebrities who have adopted children include Mayor La- Guardia, of New York; Neh awKa Stewart Rough was called to Lin coln last Sunday, where he visited his brother and other friends. Clarence Hansen was a visitor in Omaha last Monday, where he had some business matters to look after and some supplies for the garage to purchase. A. C. Anderson and family, of Om aha, were guests last Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ander son, where they enjoyed a fine visit and an excellent dinner Glen Rutledge and the kiddies and Miss Jean Burton were in Omaha on Sunday, visiting with friends there for the afternoon and attending a show in the evening at one of the Omaha playhouses. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gaude, cf Una dilla, were guests for the day last Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Kruger and as well Mr. and Mrs. Chester Plybon enjoyed the visit and also a very fine dinner. Miss Fronie Kime, who some time since suffered a severe stroke and who has been cared for by a special nurse, is still in a very serious con dition and is at the home, where she is being cared for. Victor Clarence and Roy Clarence of near Union were in Xehawka last Monday and were having their disc grinding machine mounted on a truck to enable them to go from farm to farm sharpening discs. Mrs. Enos Plunkett, of north of Weeping Water, was a visitor in Ne- hawka at the home of her parents John Opp and wife, on last Monday morning and on her return her sister, Miss Dorothy Opp, accompanied her for a few days visit. Martin Ross had his cattle, com prising some 40 head, vaccinated to determine their condition and found but fifteen which were in any way affected by the new bangs cattle disease as reactors. These will be treated to entirely eradicate the taint in the herd. Installing Kew Oil Tank The Farmers Oil company, of Ne hawka received a new tank 21 feet in length, which they are having in stalled under the direction of R. C.

Due to her advanced age, it is difficult for the injury to knit and she is in a serious condition. Streets in Good Condition Under the direction of Glen Rut ledge of the Streets and Alleys com mittee of the town board, John Chris tensen has graded Main street and filled in the trenches left from the in stallation cf the waterworks system. This has been a very good piece of work and with its completion the streets are showing a decided im provement, being restored to the con dition they were in before the work of installing the waterworks system was begun. Busy Stripping for Stone The Tobin quarries, both here and at Union, have added a good many workmen this week, who are engaged in stripping stone ledges to get things in readiness for pushing the work as soon as the river jobs open up and the demand for stone requires operat ing at top speed. The coming summer will see a great amount of work on the Missouri river under way in this part of the country as numerous new contracts have been let during the winter. Will Add New Machine James Miller, the cement and stone worker, was building a large forge this week for Herbert Kuntz, which he will use for the heating of discs, as he has secured a new modern disc sharpening machine that not only re stores the edges but replaces the cur vature a3 well. As a result of re peated grindings, the discs assume a flattened form instead of the desired curved shape that turns the soil over, and the new machine will restore the desired curvature, making them as ef ficient as when new. To Spend Some Time in West Mrs. Edna Wolfe, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Hirker, were in Plattsmouth last Saturday, where they were looking after some business matters preparatory to their depar ture for Los Angeles, where Mrs. Wolfe goes for her health and where she will take a complete rest, having already secured apartments in the western city in which to reside. They will leave this week for the south west, with a trailer cabin and car and expect to make the trip by easy stages 3o a3 not to tire them. Methodist Church Services.

All records for filing of income tax returns in Nebraska ap peared likely to be broken this year as hundreds sought to file their re turns at Internal Revenue Collector O'Malley's office. O'Malley predicted about 40,000 returns will be filed. The previous record was said to be 34,000. O'Mal ley has augmented his staff with a corps of additional workers, and there has been little delay in caring for the taxpafers. No estimate could be had as to whether records for pay ment of taxes also might be smashed. Most of those reporting, O'Malley sai. found they had enough exemp tions to preclude paying of taxes. Nebraska ranked first among agri cultural states last year in collec tion of back taxes, O'Malley was ad vised from Washington. Nebraska's quota in the drive to gather in 200 million dollars in taxes dating back as far as five years was $816,000, of which $726,402 or 89.2 percent was collected. Pink slips must still be filed, regardless of congressional or court action, O'Malley warned. Failure to file the pink slip means a penalty of $5. STUDIES LIQUOR CONTROL Washington. The question cf li quor control, still a problem to the Nebraska legislature, will engage the attention of Attorney General Wright of Nebraska for further study while he is in the capitol. Wright and former Attorney Gen eral Paul F. Good arrived here to ap pear in the supreme court next week to argue against a motion of the state of Wyoming seeking to have Nebras ka's request for adjudication of North Platte river water rights dismissed. They conferred with Senator Burke and Representatives McLaugh lin and Coffee on Nebraska problems and interests. Burke arranged a con ference for Wright for Monday with Joseph H. Choate, jr., chairman of the federal alcohol control adminis tration. Wright drafted a proposed plan of liquor control for Nebraska which was submitted to the Nebraska leg islature at the request of Governor Cochran. The legislature faces the task of repealing Nebraska's state dry laws and again setting up a sys tem for control of liquor as a result of repeal last fall of the state's con stitutional prohibition section.

Travel Bureau Shows Nebraska Popular Spot 217,399 Tourists Have Visited the State in the Past Season, a Check Reveals. The popularity of Nebraska as a mecca for automobile vacationists from all parts of the country is in dicated by a report just released by the Conoco Travel Bureau, a branch of the Continental Oil company and America's largest free travel service. According to the report, 217,339 Travel Bureau tourists spent more than $8,941,968 in this state last year. It was also revealed that motor travel throughout the entire United States was unusually heavy during 1934. Hotels, tourist camps, restau rants and many other types of busi ness took in more money from tour ists than during any other year since 1929. The bureau supplied detailed trip services to 969,485 vacationists, a figure 41 per cent greater than the organization's total for 1933. Statis tics also show that -Travel Bureau tourists spent in excess of 40 million dollars while they were away from home. The Conoco Travel Bureau is an organization maintained by Contin ental to provide motorists with up-to-date information on North Amer ican roads, routes, hotels, cottage camps, scenic and historical attrac tions plus any other data likely to make vacation trips pleasant and profitable. More than 100 carefully trained men and women ara employ ed in the bureau's cntc&l .offices .at Denver. ConocoV 22,$00 service sta tions act as field branches. It is pre dicted that one and one-half jniilion vacationists will rely on Travel Bu reau assistance during 1935. D. A. R.

Will Average 100 Acres for Current Year Average Last Year was 85 No Appli cations After April 168,000 Now in the State. Nebraska farmers will take more land out of corn production under the 193 5 corn-hog program than they did in 1934, AAA adiministrators be lieved. The average contract in 1934 included an adjusted base of 85 acres, whereas preliminary estimates on the sign-up reported to date indicates the average will cover about 100 acres this year. The increase is easily explained, ad ministrators point out, by changes in the provisions of the corn-hog pro gram from those of last year and by the tendency of farmers to put all land they farm under one contract in stead of two or three. A signer who farms land owned by more than one party may sign it all under on con tract or under separate contracts. Many prefer the single document. More definite possibility of getting seed loans and the announcement by county associations that late signers will pay their own expenses for extra work is expected to speed up the sign ing of applications for 1935 during the new few- weeks in all counties. Farmers started this week in many areas appraising corn land and will clean up the application signing as they cover their territory. Checking and listing of figures is beginning in the first counties this week and every effort is being made to complete the contracts by corn planting time. April 1 is the last date on which applications for 1935 contracts will be taken under the circumstances. Absentee landlords are being urged to get in touch with their tenants im mediately if they have not already ar ranged to put their land under con tract. Since the landlord gets his share of the benefit payment as well as crops grown on the land, the 1935 contract is proving attractive to most landlords. Gage county continues to lead Ne braska in application signing for the 1935 program with 1,680 filed at Beatrice. Several Nebraska counties now have signed more applications than they had contracts in 1934, a weekly report from AAA headquar ters shows. The total number signed to date is about 8,000.

Hamilton county farmers, thru the organization of a co-operative feed buying association, have been aLle to carry present livestock thru the winter in "reasonably good shape,' despite the severe drouth of 1934 which struck heavily in that ?rea. Shipment of ensilage from surplus producing areas of the northeastern section on a large scale has saved many animals for these central Ne braska farmers. H. Paul Cook, agri cultural agent at Aurora, started the organization. Harry Johnson of Aurora has served as chief clerk and taken care of the delivering and col lecting. A farm committee composed of Scott Heinzman, Phillips; L. A. Poohl, Hampton; O. G.

Some refund may be made to the farmers buying feed later. "The thing has worked out much more satisfactorily than expected," Cook says. "The committee received orders for the silage before It was bought. The feed has been stored In pits, bins and cribs here and is of good quality. We have had practi cally no spoilage." EEPPEET HAS A DEFENDER Kansas City. Testimony of Police Lieut. W. E. Gordon was added to the evidence assembled by defense counsel to refute perjury charges against B. C. Reppert, former direc tor of police, in the Union station massacre case. Asked if he had heard Reppert or Detective Chief T. J. Hig gins issue orders to "lay off" an In vestigation, Gordon replied: "No, sir." The perjury charge, brought by a federal grand jury, is based on Rep- pert's denial that he had checked the police inquiry into the machine gun slaying of Convict Frank Nash and four officers of his escort here June 17, 1933. Chief Higgins. also accused of perjury, faces trial later. Gordon was expected to be recalled to the witness stand when Iteppert's trial opens its second week Monday.
