STILL SHORT OF MEETING
SCOUT DUES QUOTA OF $90
A check-up today reveals that only
73 of the "150 Club" members en
rolled last year have paid 1935 dues
of $1. In addition to these 73, twelve
enrolled last year, paid the entire $3
membership due3 for 1934-35-36, this
money being expended to complete
the Scout cabin at Camp Wheeler and
provide some necessary furnishings.
That brings the total paid for 1935 to
85, or 65 short .of the enrolled mem
bership of the club. Withal, there is
but $73 on hand to meet the current
year's area dues of $90, pay telephone
rental, insurance and other overhead
expense on the cabin.
It is obvious other members of the
"150 Club" must meet their current
year's dues if the above expenses are
to be met. Other towns In the Arbor
Lodge district have all paid their as
sessments, which became due March
1st. Last year Plattsmouth was among
the first in with itsxdues for the en
tire area and this year stands to be
among the last.
All members of the club who sign
ed the three-year pledge to pay $1 a
year on or before March 1st, and who
have not already done so, are urgently
requested to leave their dollar for
1935 with E. H. Wescott not later
than Saturday, June 15th, so the ex
pense of maintaining the Scouting
program can be met.
From Saturday's Daily:
J. E. Noyes of Louisville was a
visitor in the city today for a few
hours looking after some matters at
the county court and visiting with
his many friends.

Farm Credit Act
Means Saving to
the Borrowers
Federal Land Bank of Omaha Esti
mates Saving in Interest Charges
in Their Area at $2,002,000.
Omaha (Special) Nebraska
farmers who hold loans from the Fed
eral Land bank of Omaha will realize
a saving of ?2, 002, 000 in interest
charges during the coming year as
a result of the new Farm Credit act,
just passed by congress and signed
Monday by President Roosevelt.
The new law temporarily reduces
the interest on Federal Land bank
loans to 3 per cent, or 1.8 per cent
lower than the average rate at which
Nebraska farmers obtained their
loans. The reduction will benefit
about 22,500 Nebraska farmers who
hold land bank loans totaling f 110,-
000,000, as well as farmers who ob
tain new loans. ' "
The interest rate reduction be
comes effective July 1, 1935, and will
remain at 3 per cent until July 1,
1936, according to the terms of the
act. Then for the two yeais ending
July 1, 1938, the rate will be 4 per
cent, returning on that date to the
original contract, which is -H4 per
cent on loans now being made and
varies from 5 to 6 per cent' on loans
made previously.
Since May, 1933, when the Farm
Credit administration began the pro
gram of refinancing farmers' debts,
the Federal Land bank of Omaha has
made over 13,000 first mortgage loans
to Nebraska farmers, totaling ?C5,-
000,000. This does not include com
missioner loans.
The interest rate reduction pro
vided by the amended act will af
fect only Federal Land bank loans,
all of which are first mortgage loans.
The rate on land bank commissioner
loans, which are made on either first
or second mortgages on farm prop
erty, will remain unchanged at 5 per
cent.
SCANS NEBRASKA PROJECTS
Washington, June C. Secretary
Ickes indicated he may override the
reports of PWA engineers recommend
ing that power be dropped from pro
posed Nebraska public power and ir
rigation districts which are seeking
PWA allotments.
Ickes said he was aware his engi
neers had recommended elimination
of power from the north and middle
Loup proects, but said their view
point would not necessarily stand
"because I'm for power."
Leading sponsors of the upper Loup
proects had feared the proects could
not be made self-liquidating without
power income while others said there
was no market for additional power
such as the proects would produce.

DAUGHTER'S ROOM BEAUTIFIED
BY CAREFUL MODERNIZATION
There comes a time in the life of
every family when the growing
daughter demands a grown-up bed
room. Only recently the scoffed at
the n ur.se ry which she had occupied
Linco childhood, and the babyish
frills were removed. But now, with
the important interests of high school
at hand and a college career soon to
follow, the demands that her position
ai young lady cf the household bo
recognized.
The wise mother looks upon this as
a homcmaking instinct important to
every woman and will direct her best
talent3 to encouraging the trait. The
process r.ced net be expensive to be
attractive, and a modernization loan,
so easily obtainable from any lending
agency approved by the Federal
Housing Administration, can be call
ed upon once father's consent to the
plan has been received. (With moth
er and daughter working together
this should be easily obtained!)
What might easily have been an
awkward corner in the room pictured
above (tha original nursery) has,
with a little ingenuity and fore
thought, been turned into an attrac-!
tive bed alcove. In papsring the walls
It was decided to finish the entire
alcove with ceiling paper, thereby
giving an effect cf light and offering
furnished by a mixed quartet com
posed of Norman Peters, Miss Frieda
Woitzel, Mrs. Bruce Gideon and Ver
non Greer, accompanied by Miss Greta
Woitzel. The pallbearers were E. L.
McDonald, Henry Wilkens, George E.
Bucknell, Oscar Swanson, C. D. Ful
mer and Harry Marolf.
The sympathy of the entire com
munity goes to the grief Hlricken
family in the sudden loss that ban
come to them.

DILL ON MILITIA PASSES
Washington. Despite opposit ion
of the war department, the house
adopted a bill empowering the presi
dent to call national guard officers
to duty "in an emergency."
The measure brought forth a de
nunciation from house liberals, who
maintained it opened the way fcr use
of guardsmen as strikebreakers, but
Chairman MeSwaln (d., S. C.) of the
military committee, author of the
bill, said it was intended to permit
use of the officers for policing in
flood or earthquake areas.
