PARRISH TO BE
PUBLICITY MAN
FOR STATE FOOD
Hoover Asks Omaha Bureau
to Release Manager for
the Duration of
' the War.
E, V. Parrish, manager of the bu
reau of publicity in connection with
the Commercial club, has been ap
pointed by G. W. Wattles as manager
of publicity for the food adminis
tration of Nebraska.
The appointment has the approval
of Federal Food Administrator
Hoover, and Mr. Parrish's acceptance
is subject to his release by the gov
erning committee of the bureau of
publicity, with which he is now con
nected. ;
Since, Air. Wattles was appointed
food administrator of Nebraska Mr.
Parrish has been' in charge of most
of the publicity work for Mr. Wat
tles in this connection, but has had to
handle it at odd moments when he
could g.et away from his regular work
at his own-office of tlje bureau of
publicity.
Needed a Publicity Man.
Mr. Wattles has decided that the
food administration in Nebraska will
require a publicity man throughout
the entire campaign, and that every
thing depends upon getting the right
kind of publicity for all movements
undertaken ' by this administration.
For this reason lie has decided to ap;
point Mr. Parrish to take complete
charge of his food administration
publicity work, and t attempt to get
him released from his responsibilities
in the other position at his former
bureaa.
Mr. Wattles went to Washington a
few days ago, and a telegram has just
been received stating that he there an
nounced Mr. Parrish's appointment
after receiving the O. K. of Mr.
Hoover. ' v
Mr. Parrish has been manager of
the bureau of publicity of Omaha
for over six vears. He has built this
bureau ' lip ; to a powerful organiza
tion, which has not only gained tor
Omaha favorable and constant pub
licitv the world over, but has drawn
conventions to Omaha until Omaha
is now known as the Convention
City," where nearly 80 conventions
meet annually.
Goes to Work Soon.
Mr. Parrish's connection with the
food administration will take effect
when Mr. Wattles returns 1 from
CORN PERMITTED
TO MOLDIN CRIBS
Letters to Food Administrator.
Assert Farmers Crib Grain
Before Sap is Thoroughly
Dried in Fields. ...
Corn js molding in the crib hi both
the northern and southern sections :of
Nebraska.
This is shown by letters which have
been received at the office of Food
' Administrator Wattles in Omaha.
The letters come from several parts
fif the state, including points as far
apart as Albion in the northern and
bterhng tn the southern part.
- The letters call attention to .the
fact that much of the com already
cribbed is molding and absolutely
spoiling by reason of the fact that the
cob was full of sap when cribbed and
this sap soured the cob and the, corn
when cribbed before it became thor
oughly dry , in the field.
The writer from Sterling said that
in some ' instances around Sterling
fa-mers are shoveling this molded
jrn out of the crib and allowing it
to go to waste because they have no
hogs to which to feed it.
TJie state 'food administration has
railed the situation to the attention

Organise to Make Ban

The first of the Red Cross classes
to be organized at all community cen

organization met 20 women of the
Rosewater school neighborhood and
instructed them in making bandages
for the soldiers. This class will meet
once a week at the school during the
winter. Various Red Cross activities
will be undertaken.
While these mothers were doing
their bit for democracy their boys
and girls were improving themselves
in choral work in another room of the
school. ,
Red Cross work at community cen

program outlined a few weeks ago by

they have on otherTecent occasions, j
More members will join the class

Central High School
Observes Bum Day j
"Bums' Day" was obse'rved Friday
by the boys of the Central High
school. Almost every boy wore
some outlandish costume. One bov
appeared as in a plaster-bespattered
coat, a shirt that beggars descrip
tion, a tie containing all the colors
of the rainbow, mismatcd shoes, mul
ticolored socks, and a hat that ap
peared to have been rescued frfm
an ash can for the occasion. Another
loug-leggcd male specimen donned
some long-neglected short trousers
and a pair of white stockings. Loud
neckties and shirts were the common
est. Principal Masters let the boys have
their fun out, but saw that no dis
order resulted. Several of the teach
ers refused to allow the boys to enter
the classrooms.
' One pupil was heard to remark
that "bums' day" ought to be ob
served for a week to economize on
the good clothes during the war.
Ak-Sar-Ben Did Not Have
Money to Spend on Fair
"The board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben
gave the interstate fair prop
osition a lot of thought," said Sec
retary J., D. Weaver of Ak-Sar-Ben.
"At the last meeting of the board
the matter was discussed thoroughly
again. The consensus of opinion was
that the board would not be justi
fied in fathering at this time any
scheme which involved such a money
outlay as this would. It was felt
that with the war on and a lot of
other things it would not be policy
to take up with this new venture."
