Much Information has been given
out regarding the general work and
accomplishments of the United States
Veterans bureau, but little is known
concerning the individual cases of dis
abled men who have received voca-
tional training under the direction OF
the bureau.
Three cases handled by the To-
peka office Of the bureau are typical
of the vocational training being given
and the benefits received.
Francis r. Russell. private in the

months training as an auto and trac-
tor mechanic. His preliminary train
ing was received at the Kansas State

when they were offered increased
compensation elsewhere.
Tax Rate To Be Higher.
The commissioners believe that the
tax rate will be higher during the
next year. 1t is impossible to be sure
of this at the present time as the city
valuation has not yet been ascertained.
The only chance for reduced taxes
will be a much higher valuation, as
the city has spent much money in

be required to meet the city's needs

CROW FRUIT, SURE
Marshall County Has Every
thing Needed for 1t, Belief.
Nurseryman There Tells Meth
DDS He Has of Protection.

Marshall county can grow fruit, and
to prove the statement, Jimmie
Nevins, Jr.. partner of the firm of
Nevins & Son. can take the unbe-
him.
E. F. Nevins first started in the
orchard game in Marshall county in
'S9 when he grew peaches and apples
on the old CONF place east of Blue
Rapids. When young Jimmie grew up
he went in business with his dad and
they moved 10 a small place on the
east side of Blue Rapids where they
have developed the nursery business.
The Nevinses sold peaches at a good
profit twenty years ago when the To-
cal market was glutted by shipping
to towns in western Kansas and even
to Colorado. At one time E. f.
Nevins sold Globe peaches on the
bushel while many farmers were TAX
ing what they could get locally. PRO
duce better product and get a mar
ket for it, is the Nevins motto.
This year Nevins & Son had two
and one-half acres of strawberries.
Jimmie started looking for a market
about the middle of May. The de-
mand seemed fairly good. He went TO
nearly every nearby western town first
for a market and then east to Frank
fort where the wholesale house agreed
to take all he could raise. When
the berries began to ripen the con-
sumner began to sing. There was no
use looking ior a market, the market
looked for the berries and the demand
was SO heavy that orders had to be
booked ahead.
Over $500 worth of berries were
sold from the two and one-half acres
after the cost of crates had been de-

this. Two loads of hay are removed
in the spring. We count on two crops
