No Federal Relief
In Sarpy Co. Nebr.

The county commissioners of
Sarpy county, Nebraska, did not
make any application for federal
FERA funds for the county. Re-
lief is needed here as badly as in

commissioners objected to spend

government requires from the
county before advancing federal re-
lief funds. Those on relief work,

low, are paid Is cents an hour and
a maximum Of Sc a month for

STOOL PIGEON
NEARLY TARRED
AND FEATHERED

By LEM HARRIS

CUSTER COUNTY, Nebraska
There is man in this county who
has built up for himself a reputa-
ton of being a professional stool
pigeon for the politicians for the
past IS years. Although he holds
no office in connection with the
relief administration of this coun-
ty, he recently made it his bust
ness to go to Broken Bow, the
county seat, and report the names
OF about nine families whom Re
claimed were receiving too much
relief. When news of this action
reached the farmers and workers
on relief, group decided to fix
him good and proper. They had
some tar heated up and someone
had gone after feathers.
Before going after the stool
pigeon, some more men learned
what was happening and convinced
the rest that more was to be gain
ed by spreading the news around
of what this man had done, and
just let public sentiment work or
him.
Broken Bow was the first place
to organize for relief in this
county, It is the only place that
is including coal with its relief
orders. Other towns in the coun-
ty are following tho good example
and ere organizing now.

SHOVELS ARE USED
WHILE MACHINERY
Is STANDING IDLE
MEDIEVAL Methods Are Used
On The Relief
Projects
By LEM HARRIS

MINER COUNTY, S. D.-Mine1
is just one of many counties all
through the drought area that is
reporting the most wasteful kind
of relief work-that is wasteful
of human energy. Road work is
being done with shovels, even
though heavy road machinery is
available close at hand.
In Miner county there is a road
building project which consists of
widening a 6O-rod grade by six
feet. Relief workers on this pro-
ject are using two-horse road slips
which take about a quarter yard.
The project is costing about 81 800.
The men figured that if the job
was done with the county's elev-
ator grader, the actual cost of the
job would be $45.
Farmers on the job are asking
these questions: Is there not ne
cessary work which can be car
ried on in an efficient manner
which will benefit the country a
lot more? At this time we can
not do more than pay for the feed
which working horse requires at
present prices. Why doesn't the
county use its elevator grader on
the job and pay US the difference
in cost, which would mean our
horses could stay in the barn and
we would have some spending
money?

CROOKED METHODS.

DEFEAT FARMERS.
Judge Throws Out Suit Of
Organizer Against the
County Officials
BY a Farmer Correspondent

SHERMAN COUNTY, Nebraska
Most farmers have heard of the
attack by armed thugs on organ
izers of the Holiday Association of
Nebraska, in which Mother Bloor
was arrested and Burt Sell was
beaten into uncons seriousness and II
of the thugs were knocked cold.
Shortly after the attack, Burt Sell
filed suit against the sheriff of
the county, and his deputies, who
took part in the attack, and against
other county officials. The suit
is FOR 100000 damages.
This week Judge Hostetler held
district court in Sherman county,
called the case and declared it be
thrown out because no one present
was interested in it. This is ur~
heard of action III legal procedure.
Sell has two attorneys, one in Om-
aha and one in Grand Island.
DNCt OONIICyoJ bCSluCS HIMSELF,
live outside of Sherman county.
In spite of the fact that his ON
aha attorney had written the clerk
of the district court especially ask
ing for warning as to when the
case would be brought up, no mott
fication was received by the at
torneys nor Sell, the plaintiff.
Of course, no case can be dis
posed of in such a way. General
opinion here is that such high
handed action simply shows that
the court and county officials are
very much worried over this whole
case, which really represents
challenge to the farmers and
workers right to organize. The
farmers are pledged to smack down
all such fascist attacks.

COMMISSIONERS
REFUSE follow
Err SALARIES


Members of the Taxpayers As
sociation and others met with the
county commissioners on Wednes-
day of last week and discussed the
possibility of lowering the county
from sixth to seventh class. By
doing so the county officials sal
aries would be lowered to the ex-
tent of 81, 400 per year. Not an
amount that would make much diff
ference to anybody, especially not
to the 80 per cent of the people
in the county who have quit pay
ing taxes.
Although the commissioners said
they would be in favor of putting
the county into the lower class and
taking a lower salary, their past
actions plainly show that they did
not mean what they said.
Excuse
In the month of September the
valuation of the county was less
than five million dollars. At that
time it was the duty of the COM
missioners to have put the county
in the seventh class, but they did
not do it. Now they claim some
extra cattle have been assessed and
it has brought the assessed valu.
alton a trifle over the five million
dollars at this time. They are US
ing this as an excuse for not do
ing it now.
1t is quite remarkable that they
were able to hunt up few extra
cattle to raise the evaluation above
the five million mark. The ordin-
airy farmer would suppose that
cattle would have been the last
thing they could have found for
the purpose, for after all, thous-
ands and thousands of cattle have
been killed or shipped out of the
county. How that can have in
creased the assessed valuation of
the county is certainly mystery.
But where there is a will of get
ting around things, there is always
a way.

Slrosliing Thru
The Park
By HANS RASMUSSEN

Last spring our worthy presl-
dent had a brilliant idea. "Let's
start a 5O-year program. Let's
plant lot of trees and create
some beautiful parks" he said.
And our Plentywood brain trust,
including postmaster and Judge.
got busy. All joined hands. A
beautiful park is just what we
want.
Maps of the park in red, white
and blue colors were prepared,
showing trees for the kids to climb
in, shady places for picnickers,
lunches and Afternoon coffees, play
grounds and places for cars to
park.
The brilliant idea and our maps
impressed somebody in Helena to
the extent that they sent us 5000
trees of various kinds, including
Christmas trees.
Up and down a county caterpll-
lar now travelled, burning up a lot
of gas and oil, and roofing up the
ground in good shape as it went.
A small army of men were put to
work digging holes deep and wide.
Nothing was spared to give this
5O-year program a good start.
Some worked hard and some
didn't. Those who didn't feel bet
ter about it now than those who
did. Holes were filled with water
and trees planted so many feet and
inches apart in rows straight as a
candle. In the spare grounds 40
bushels of potatoes were planted,
expecting to furnish feed for a lot
of hungry people this winter. Then
all at once the pay stopped-the
5O-year program had come to an
end.
While scores of tons of grass
hopper poison were being scatter
ed over the county, millions of
grasshoppers flocked to our park
where they were not molested with
any poison, and undisturbed ate up
every leaf on the trees as fast as
they appeared, and killed the trees.
A merciful frost came along and
killed the potatoes.
Today, when you take a stroll
through the "park," all you see
is a mess of Russian thistles and
other weeds. What some of US
had hoped would grow into some
kind of park turned out to be
a complete failure, and stands in
it's present neglected form as
representing the New
Deal and its 5O-year program. Of
course, out of the so years, there
are still the 40 left for US to live
IN hopes. We hope Medicine Lake
will have better luck with their
project than we did with ours.
We never got as far as to find
an appropriate name for our park.
If we had, I suppose our patriotic
feeling would have run away with
Is and we would have named it
park. One thing we
nave grossly neglected. While the
president was making his tour
through Montana, we should have
invited him to Plentywood for the
purpose of dedicating and taking
4 good look at the park he Gre
ated for the purpose of beautify-
ng the country and bringing back
prosperity. Instead of the New
Deal giving us a park with trees,
t gave us a lot of weeds.

Haze a Hobby
Haze Hobby -----
Cameo, Originated i'm

BY MRS. C. o. ROBINSON
Times Hobby Editor

TINE word cameo brings to the
Il minds eye not only a beau
tiful carved patrician medallion
but also daguerreotype of grand
mother with the lace tissue on her
hoop skirted dress held in place
by lovely cameo breach. As
Suredly, the cameo portrait of
the man in the high stock, here
shown, served such purpose,
since John Bellinger, M. D. of
Charleston, S. c., had it cut from
Vesuvian lava in 1850 and set as
brooch for his wife while the
two were travelling in Italy.
Mary Pinkney Bellinger, doubt
less wore it with justifiable pride
as her handsome husband was a
man of great distinction in his
native state. He occupied the
chair of surgery in the South
Carolina Medical college, and in
1847 demonstrated his surgical
skill by performing four abdom-
nal operations with out the use
of a general anaesthetic. Ether
first had been employed for sur
gerry only the fall of the previous
year and was not as yet univers-
ally accepted.
DR.. Bellinger 18O4-186O) was of
illustrious ancestry, being de-
scended from the first Landgrave
Edmund Bellinger who owned
Tomotley and Ashepoo baronies in
lower Carolina in 1898. He was
also the brother of the prominent
author and attorney, Edmund
Bellinger, whose great-grandson,
Charles Edward Thomas of this
city, editor of the Sigma M fra
ternity magazine, inherited this
unusual heirloom cameo.
Because of the material from
which it is cut and because it is
an actual portrait and not the
classical or NEUROLOGICAL design
usually employed, this cameo is
extremely interesting and valu-
able. At the time that DR.. Belling-
er'S portrait was cut and the fasc-
ating legendary gambler Cameo"
Kirby, So-called because of his
passion for canoes, was plying his
trade upon the Mississippi river
boats, cameo jewelry had it's
greatest vogue in America.
Many excellent artists devoted
their talents to cutting the gems
and through this medium Angus
tus Saint Gaudens began his as
cent to the position of foremost
American sculptor.
TAMEOS have been defined as
~ small, exquisite sculptures ex-
ecuted in relief on some substance
precious for its rarity or adap-
liability, thus giving the finished
product the quality of a jewel.
Queen Elizabeth ordered her
portrait cut upon a beautiful tur-
quoise and the Field Museum in
Chicago has diamond cut as a
cameo, the rarest of all carvings.
The majority of the important
canoes, however, both ancient and
modern, have been cut upon band
ed onyx.

for the qualification of every pass
ing wish.
A sexual episode outside of
marriage may mean a great deal,
or it may mean nothing. In your
husbands case, believe it means
nothing. For the most part he
keeps himself corked up for your
sake, but occasionally when alcohol
relaxes the censor, the lid comes
off.
That the man is an amateur in
illicit affairs is evident from the
fact that he is clumsy enough to
get caught. His strong guilt sense
afterward proves that he violates
his own ego ideal by depressing
from conventional behavior. No
doubt he devoutly wishes to be free
from the tormenting urge for va
riety and excitement that upsets the
