CCC INFORMATION
With the calling of another cla33
for the Civilian Conservation Corps,
the following information has been
received relative to allotments, by
Mrs. C. A. Rosencrans, local relief
officer. Under the new ruling former
members are allowed to re-enllst
along with new applicants:
1. That the allottee is an actual
dependent by blood or obligation, and
Is not a trustee or a person unknown
to the applicant. In no instance is it
contemplated that selecting agents
or public welfare authorities shall
receive the monthly allotment In or
der to administer it for the benefit
of the dependents of the cnrclee.
2. That the allottee understands
the purpose for which allotments are
provided and is willing to assume this
responsibility.
3. That the allottee, though not
necessarily on relief rolls, has actual
need for the financial assistance
which the monthly allotment pro
vides. 4. That the alottee has been named
voluntarily.
5. That the allotte does not reside,
in a foreign country.
6. That the name, address, rela
tionship and amount has been ac
curately and clearly stated on the ap
plication blank.
Return of allotment money to the
enrolee in camp is prohibited. The
saving of all or substantial part of
the allotment for payment to the
enrolee upon his return home, is
equally contrary to the spirit of the
CCC enterprise, and Is an indication
that the need of the allottee has been
made a matter of vertified knowledge
by the selecting agent.
The making of an allotment is a
condition precedent to selection. An
applicant who cannot make a proper
allotment, therefore, is not eligible.
For this reason, transient, homeless,
and unattached men comprise a group
in which the above eligibility re
quirements are lacking.
From Friday's Dally
Attorney Guy L. Clements of Elm
wood was here today to spend a few
hours attending a hearing In the
county court in which he was Interested.

Supreme Court
Sustains Findings
in Bridge Case
Affirms Lower Court Decision That
West End of Local Bridge Is in
School District No. 2.
The state supreme court Thursday
rendered their decision affirming the
judgment of Judge H. D. Landis In
the case of the Plattsmouth Bridge
Co. vs. County Treasurer John E.
Turner and the officials of School
District No. 1.
The action was one in which the
bridge company sought to enjoin the
collection of taxes assessed against
the bridge company in school district
No. 1.
The claim of the company and the
finding of the district court that the
land In question Is properly located
In District 2 was upheld by the state
high court.
A special act of the legislature es
tablished the original boundaries of
District . 2. A later act, purporting
to authorize revision of the districts,
was held by tho court to have no
force of effect in view of the special
act previously written into . the
statute.
In consequence the action- of the
Cass county superintendent in 1870,
transferring a portion of District 2 to
District 1, Is said by the supreme
court to have been void and the col
lection of taxes on the land in ques
tion by District 1, has placed the
money in the wrong school treasury.

ERROR IN AD
In the advertisement of the Ne
hawka National Farm Loan associa
tion, appearing in the Journal on
Thursday, the Interest rate was given
as six and a quarter per cent, which
was an error. The exceptionally low
rate of four and a quarter per cent
was what should have appeared, the
reduced rate affording the farmer3 a
great advantage In the federal farm
loan.
The public Is urged to make not
of the correction as to the Interest
rate.
