Despite the depression, possibly
demand for babies to adopt is greater than ever.
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;

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

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.
Pollard, and will use it for the storing
of kerosene, as their other tanks are
all needed for gasoline.

to have the injured hip set, was brot
home last Sunday little if any better
fcr the time she has been there. 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.

RUSH TO PAY INCOME TAX
Oraaha. 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.
SHOWS EXCELLENT WORK
In the window of the Mauzy Drug
Co., are shown several planes which
are the work of Allan White, sor of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry White. The
planes show excellent modeling and
skill in their construction and re
fleets the greatest of credit on the
young designer and workman.

Bocklet, 40, former Chicago commer
cial artist whose bones have shrunk
more than four inches during the
past seven years, causing him to feel
as if he were "reverting to the ape
type," will be given every care known
to medical scienc to prevent further
deformation of hi3 bones.
Seven years ago Brocket stood 5
feet 7 inches in height. He then
wore a 6 hat. Today he stands ap
proximately 5 feet 3 inches and

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. State

to Draw Many
Meeting at Omaha Will Allow At

Chapters of the State.
Between 250 and 300 delegates are
expected in Omaha for the thirty
third annual state conference of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, to be held at the Blackstone

Representing these groups as gen
eral chairman of the conference are
Mrs. A. B. Aten of Omaha chapter,
Mrs. V. W. Boyles of Major Isaac
Sadler chapter and Mrs. W. O. John
son of Mary Katherine Goddard
chapter.
Dedication of a bronze tablet in
the Union station, which was placed
by the three Omaha chapters to com
memorate completion of the Union
Pacific railway, will be a feature of
the conference. It will be dedicated
by Mrs. Horace J. Cary of Kearney,
state regent.
Miss Cary and Miss Sara Finch,
also of Kearney, and Mrs. James Sut
tie, Mrs. James S. Ainscow and Miss
Ruth Sumner, all of Omaha, consti
tute the program committee.
Two national committee chairmen
will be guests durrag the conference.

Newark, New Jersey, chairman of the
National Defense committee; and
Mrs. William Pouch of New York
chairman of the Approved Schools
committee.
During the session, conference
members will be guests of the three
Omaha chapters at tea at the home
of Mrs. Anna Cornish Metcalf, which
eventually will be the D. A. R. home
in Omaha.

tion of a play under direction of Mrs
Joseph C. Lawrence, state chairman
of Americanism and a member cf
the national committee on this sub
ject, who also is publicity chairman

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.

Unite in the
Buying of Sur
plus of Silage
Hamilton Connty Farmers Co-Oper-
at to Carry Present Livestock
Through the Winter.
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. Wright, Au
rora: Milton reterson, rmuipK; ana
Tom Siever, Marquette, together with
Agricultural Agent Cook, inspected
the ensilage and bought it from farm
producers in the northeastern area.
More than S00 tons have been trans
ported by truck to farms in Hamil
ton county with a price varying from
8 to $8.25 per ton delivered on the
farm. 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.
