Many Weighty
Problems for the
Relief Planners
Cue of Them Is the Determination
of Wages Paid to Jobless
Getting Work.
Washington. Use of tue Hundreds
cf county farm agents thruout the
country is helping decide where the
remaining three-quarters of the 4 bil
lion dollar work relief fund shall
go was planned by administration
officiate. The special job listed for
these workers was co-operation with
the rural resettlement and rural
electrification administrations which
arc slated to spend nearly half a bil
lion dollars
In a recent conference with Mcr-
ris L. Cooke, head of the electrifica
tion program, agriculture officials
were understood to have agreed that
agricultural engineers will promote
an interest in tlectrification among
farmers and determine whether po

"The Lord's Supper"
Matt. 26:17-30.
We may well say to the Bible stu
dent, "Put thine shoes from off thy
feet" . . . for you are entering the
Hcly of Holies. There is no more sol
emn tcene in the life of Christ than
the last hours he spent with the
eleven. ;Knowing that his body would
rest in the tomb twenty-four hours
later, these last few hours are very
impcrtant for him, the disciples and
the church. The memorial instituted
i3 for all time the closest bond, the
mcst intimat9 relation imaginable.
This symbolic act is the only sacra
ment which Christ himself instituted
and the entire Protestant church con
tinually' observes in one form or an
other in every part of the world. It
is known by various titles: (1) "The
Lord's Supper," by Paul, I Cor. 11:
20; (2) "The Communion," by Paul,
I Ccr. 10:16; (3) "The Eucharist,"
meaning to givo thanks, Jesus, Matt.
2G:27; (4) "The Breaking cf Bread"
Acts 2: 42-4 G; 7, 11; (5) "The Sacra
ment, no Biblical terra, but used by
th3 rhuvch, it includes both baptism
and the L.ord'3 Supper; (G) "The
Mass," by Roman Catholics.
Its type in the Old Testament was
the Jewish rasovcr, eaten on the eve
of the Excdu.1 from Egypt; in the
fcllowing manner, according to Dum
melow One Volume Bible Commen
tary: "(1) The first cup wa3 blessed
and drunk. (2) The hand.3 were wash
ed while a blessing was said. (3) Bit
ter herb.-, emblematic of the cojourn
in Egypt, were partaken of, dipped in
cour broth made cf vinegar and bruis
ed fruit; (4) The son of the house
wculd ask the father to explain the
origin of the observance; (5) The
Lamb end the llc3h of the thank of
fering;; were placod on the table, and
the first part of the Ilallcl sung, see
Psalm 113, 114; (6) Th2 second cup
wa blessed and drunk; (7) Unleav
ened broad wa.s Idersei and broken,
a fragment was eaten, then a frag
ment of the thank offerings, then a
fragment cf the Lamb; (8) Prelimi
naries being thu3 ended, the feast
procedod at leisure unt!l all was con
sumer; (9) The lamb being quite
finished, the third cup, the cup cf
blessing was bloised and drunk; (10)
The fourth cup wa3 drunk and mean
while the second part cf the Ilallcl
Ps. 115-11S was sung."
Arrangements were perfected by
Peter and John in the room furnished
by Nickodemus - (?) ; by a previous
understanding by Jesu3 and the own
er, for certain reasons Jesus did not
disclose the name.
"My time is at hand." By thli
phrase, of course, the Lcrd meant to
indicate that the time of his death
was at hand, the mcst important spe
cific in all his days upon earth, the,
time to complete his redemptive work, '
velt's determination of the wages to
be paid jobless getting work on the
$1,091,0000,000. of recommended
projects heaped on his desk. Wheth
er protests of organized labor would
force a revision in. tentative plans
for a 30 percent reduction in pre
vailing wage levels was a secret close
ly guarded by Harry L. Hopkins,
head of the progress division.
But officials disclosed wages were
not the only problem with which
they have wrestled since plan mak-
ing started in earnest three weeks
ago. Other questions to which an
swers were sought included:
How many of the million farm
families on relief or receiving loans
are to be given work.
What can be done about unskilled
labor in large cities . and mining
areas where insufficient construction
projects are available.
How can cities able to pay for
part of their projects be induced to
do so instead of demanding that the
federal government bear the entire
cost.
What will be the attitude of the
unemployed not on relief who do not
get job3.
Well informed quarters said com
paratively few additional projects
would. t? approved until these prob
lems are solved.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb.
the hour when the forces of evil
would engage in mortal combat with
tho Son cf God and suffer their de
served and long hoped for defeat.
At last Jesus entered the prepared
mipnf-Avith the twelve. The passover
is eaten, according to outline above.
The betrayer is unmasked " and ""dis
missed. How gentle and lovingly
Jesus dealt with" Judas is seen in that
befcre the evening meal as he wash
ed his feet, he did not say, "Judas
will betray me," but "One of you" in
order to give him an opportunity for
repentance. But hardening his heart,
he sealed his own doom. "Satan en
tered into him." (John 13:27).
Jesus dismissed him and now He
poured His soul out to the eleven.
John 13-17 reveal to us the innermost
soul of Christ. Now we come to the
instituting of the Eucharist. Wrhat a
solemn moment! Hushed are all the
bickerings of the disciples; the still
ness is almost unbearable; all eyes
arc fixed on the Master. He reaches
fcr bread, blesses It, breaks it and
gives to the disciples, saying, "Take,
Eat; this is my body." And he took
a cup and gave thanks, and gave to
them, saying, "Drink ye all of it."
Nothing could have been chesen by
our Lord so perfectly and profoundly
symbolizing nls death lor us as
bread. Bread points tc death in at
least five different ways: (1) the
wheat must be buried, John 12:24;
(2) it must be cut down in harvest;
(3) it rau:t bo ground in the mill;
(4) it must go through fire, i. c. be
baked in an oven before it can be
cctcn; (5) it is generally broken be
fore partaken cf, as in the Lord's
Cupper.
Since the whole Passover was a
symbolic festival cf remembrance;
since further tho body of Jesus was
Ltiil unbroken', and His blood still
unshed, nene of those present at the
table could have supposed that they
were doing what was impossible
thst i.5, they were In any sense actual
ly eating and drinking the body and
blood cf the Lord. He was still pres
ent beiore them. Jesus meant to say:
Thi3 broken bread here which you are
to take and to eat 13 symbolically MY
ECDY, or the symbol of my body,
which is about to bo offered up. Only
through tho, shed blood is remission
of sin. The redeemed are before the
the throne cf God because "they have
washed their robe3 and made them
whito in the blood of the ' Lamb."
(Rev. 7:14-15).
"There is a fountain filled with
blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged: beneath
that flood ... . .
Lose all their guilty stains."
"I love Him, I love Him, .because
He first !"ved me
And purchased my salvation
on Calvary's tree."
Adjournment

Set for Friday
Old Age Pension Measure Backers
to Insist on Action Before
Going Home.
Lincoln,-May 21. Nebraska legis
lators moved toward adoption of a
state old age pension program Tues
day as the session sped towards final
adjournment.
Both houses agreed to adjourn at
4 p. m. Friday, but pension bill back
ers said they will insist on effective
pension legislation before the end. If
they are unsuccessful, a special ses
sion late this summer is a possibility
as a means of co-operating with the
federal government in the security
program under consideration by con
gress. Few legislators are looking fcr-
wara- to actual closing ol the session
Friday afternoon. Saturday night is
tne more ukely time for the windup,
with clocks in house and senate stop
ped at 4 p. ni. Friday, according to
predictions.
Advanced Rapidly.
In the senate a substitute old age
pension bill, introduced by Senator
CharleSjD. Green, Sidney, was rapid
ly advanced to third reading, after
members rejected by a tie vote, a
motion of Senator Archie C. O'Brien,
Grand Island, to revive his pension
bill as originally introduced.
The O'Brien defeat followed pleas
by himself and Senator Alois Slep
icka, Wilbcr, for the 2 per cent gen
eral sales tax feature of the Grand
Island senator's measure. This is ex
pected to be tho final sales tax death
blow of the session.
The Green bill provides for fi
nancing pensions through a $2 head
tax on persons from 21 to 50, through
allocations to the pension fund by
the state assistance committee, and
through "such additional funds as
may be appropriated by the legisla
ture." The $2 head tax is $1.50 morel
per person than the present tax for
old age pensions.
Places Amendment.
Senator O'Brien was able to place
in the bill an amendment fixing the
age of pension eligibility at 60 years,
instead of 65 as desired by Senator
Green to comply strictly with terms
of the pending federal legislation on
pensions.
- Under- the- Greenblll pensioners
would be. paid $30 a month, $15 of
which It expected from federal con
tributions. The money would bo dis
tributed through a state pension com
missioner. The house discussed for two hours
the pension bill sponsored by Rep
resentative Martin Schroeder, Bloom
field. As a method for permanent fi
nancing of pensions it levies a 1 per
cent tax on incomes of all persons re
ceiving income of $250 a month or
less.
Would Be Ineligible.
Persons with incomes above that
amount would not be eligible to par
ticipate in the pension program. The
house reported progress on the bill.
but showed little enthusiasm for its
previsions.
There is senate opposition to the
head tax provision of the Green bill,
but the measure appears slated for
adoption. Governor Cochran has ask
ed only for adoption of his own bill,
senate file 3G7, which provides tem
porary help to the aged for the next
two years through the state assist
ance committee and does not set up
a permanent pension program.
Cenator Green has shown a ruling
cf Attorney General William H.
Wright to tho effect tho governor
sponsored bill does not meet require
ments of federal pension aid under
the contemplated federal provisions.

Ketchikan, Alaska. Survivors cf
the ill-fated steamship Denali sought
rest for tattered nerves while pound-
seas completed destruction of
in
their ship on jagged rocks fifty miles

Poppy Day in
Plattsmouth This
Coming Saturday
American Legion Auxiliary to Spon
sor Sale of Pippies for the
Disabled Veterans.
How long is public memory and
how enduring national gratitude?
Thi3 question will be answered here
Saturday, May 25th. It will be an
swered in bright red poppies worn
over the hearts of all who remember
and are grateful to those who sacri
ficed their lives in the nation's de
fense seventeen years ago.
The women of the American Le
gion Auxiliary will distribute the
flowers on the streets. They remem
ber. Some of their own lie in the
poppy-studded battle cemeteries in
France. Ever since the war they have
been devoting their energies to aid
those left dependent, to help those
who came back disabled, and to carry
on in peace for the cause of Amer
ican democracy. And on Poppy Day
they will give their services so that
the rest of us may show that we, too,
remember.
Wearing the poppy is tho indi
vidual act of tribute to the World
war dead. Everyone can wear a
poppy. The Auxiliary women will
offer them in exchange for a contri
bution for the welfare of the war's
living victims. No price is asked for
these little flowers, shaped by the
hands of disabled veterans. A few
pennies, if that is all the person is
able to give, or a ten dollar bill, if
that amount can be contributed, it
is all the same. The same symbolic
poppy will be given in exchange.
The money which goes into the
coin boxes of the peppy workers on
Poppy Day will all te expended in
the welfare work of the Legion and
Auxiliary during the coming year,
the bulk of it right here In our own
city. Thus the little poppy will give
us an opportunity to prove that our
memorw and gratitude for the sacri
fices made for America during the
war still endures by enabling us to
honor those for whom we can do no
more and aiding these yet within the
reach cf human help.
LABOPw SETS UP CRY
AGAINST RELIEF WAGES
Washington, "May 21. Amid
storms of labor pretests, the admin
istration stood pat Tuesday on a
work-relief pay scale saarply cutting
prevailing rates, but immediately
projected an adjustment of the wage
structure three months hence.
This revision, it was explained,
does not foretell necessarily a defin
ite upward shift in wage levels newly-set
for mcst of the four billion
dollar program. Present plans, they
said, call for general increases in
monthly pay rates only if the cost of
living mounts mounts rapidly.
Other quarters insisted the three
month check-up was part of original
plans and denied it represented a
concession to the torrent of labor
complaints.
William Green, president of the
American Federation cf Labor, and
Senator McCarran (D.) of Nevada,
who led the unsuccessful senate fight
to require payment of prevailing
wages, were among the first to de
clare war on the scale set by the
president.
Terming the monthly salaries
ranging from a low of $19 to a high
of $94 "inequitable" and "unsound,"
Green said:
"I would not bo surprised if
it led even to widespread strikes
among relief workers."
The Virginia Federation of Labor
adopted a resolution calling on the
president to place the state in a high
er wage bracket, although John Hop
kins Hall, chairman of tho legisla
tive committee, said: "This is not
a protest against President Roose
velt but against his ill-advised ad-
visors."
FOR NEW NATIONAL PAETY
Madison, Wi3. Governor LaFol
lette Monday said ho was emphati
cally in favor of a new national party
in clarifying and impression he had
opposed such a movement In his ad
dress made at the state progressive
party's birthday celebration. Adding
that he would do everything he could
to promote a third party, Governor
LaFollstte said "but I do believe that
to build soundly you've get to have
a real organization by states. You
have to have a nucleus on which to
build."
Fear that he was being misinter
preted as opposed to or pessimistic
about the formation of a national
third party prompted him to call
newspaper men together. He told
them his speech had been ambiguous.

regular pay day cf tho workmen and
considered as a good thing among the
merchants, as the men could thus get
trcur.d and pay their bills, which a
good many cf them did. But there
were seme who made other use of
their money and got under the in
fluence of fire water dispensed by the
bootleggers and a wild time was had.
Two of the men became boisterous
and unruly, using language which is
net found in the dictionary, and tho
city marshal, Thead Davis, took them
into custody and was preceding with
them to the city jail when one broke
away, and was making his getaway.
Mr. Davis deputized Fred Rehmeier
to arsist him, Avho in his attempt to
rceapturethe offending quarry work
er was attacked by the irate man and
a rough and tumble set-to occurred
in which it was doubtful for a time
who wculd succeed. In the end, the
two offenders were locked in the iron
cage and held there until a hearing
