The party waa cordially received by Manager Varner am associates, and personally conducted on the tour. I have 'come to North Platte to do a job of crystal gasing into the relief question. I doubt if I could have picked a town in America that is more nearly an "average" of email towns throughout the country. Whats true, hero isn't true everywhere, but what's true hcce mikes a mighty fine level. I am trying to find out, using Platte as a yardstick, just whether or not a new "national consciousness" has grown up among our people, an attitude of permanently "workin for the Guvment." Im trying to find opt why there are still so msny millions on relief.

Im trying to find out whether it hss become a fad, or whether through tho bleary years of. the depression it hss turned into a permanent necessity. Or whether polities end ths grsspingness of fndividusls sre keeping it going. The administration of relief 'in this eounty is a very eompli-rated affair. It iy handled under 12 different headings, all of them criss-crossing, blocking, duplicating to tho point whero it is almost impossible to make aa intelligent And yet I find relief well administered here.

It is not. on the basis is should be if we are going to have relief forever. But it is, in my judgment, about as well handled is relief can be handled until the whole system is shaken down 'end the decks cleaned up for a long cruise. The one person who comes nearest to being the titular head of relief in this county is a young pnd charming woman named Mrs. Fern Jones.

She works under the title of County Assistance Director and ia paid by the county and the state. From all sides pick up praise for Mrs. Jones. I believe only twice in my life here I gone through an area and failed to hear one single critical comment on a person in that areas public life. The two eases are Anthony Dimond, delegate to Congress from Alaska, and Mrs.

Fern Jones, hero in North Platts. Y- r.t Mrs. Jones' works with end pertly under, thoeouatycomtniK sioners. And strangely enough, all sides soom satisfied with commissioners, too. 1 have talked with bueineM mn hero who frankly admitted they were so rabidly Republican they' 'could' hardly talk sense, end yet they gave complete credit- for a'JobV well done to Mrs.

Jones and ths commissioners. 1 The three make a well-balanced team On of them, Ed Kratsenstoin, is the treasury watehdog. Hr ia not'1 hard-hearted, but a holder-down and a diligent inquirer into facts, with one thought always on ths. pockstbook. One of them, Roy is gentle and easy-going.

Ho seeks for a way to1 be fair to all sides, but he gets soft-hearted over a sob story just as I would. And tho third, Virgil Thayer, was on WPA himself before his election as commissioner. He is in tho relief ore camp, al-tho he too worries greatly over the county's parse-strings. So the relief skeptie and the relief enthuiaat counteracts each other, leaving the commissioners as whole a pretty level-headed group. I asked Commissioner' Thayer: "Do you see any wisy that: relief can be cut down here?" He shook his head and said: "It just couldnt bo done.

Then I asked him, "Could the taxpayers stand any increase in He shook his head again, sadly, and said, "They cant stand what they're paying now." So I said, "It seems to go around in. a circle without getting anywhere, doesnt it?" KnA he said, "It certainly does." y. Neat: Cae Relief Be Cet Dewa Now?

Itj two greatest sons are Buffalo Bill and William Jeffers, the new president of tha Union Pacific railroad. But tha frontier has moved on from Buffalo Bills old homo town. North Platte is on the edgo of tha West, but it is no longer the West It is in the "greet little old town" district.

It is Midwest Farming and' working on ths railroad are the staples of its life. North Platte has big Union Pacific shops, a Swift packing plant and a Montgomery. Ward store. It has a modern sight-story hotel and a theater where the usherette wears bins silk pantaloons. It isnt quite big enough for a morning newspaper.

North Platte runs out about 10 blocks in each direction from the- business section. It has a lot of nice built without great imagination, and a shanty-town on the southwest edge where people live in old boxeart and cardboard The land lies flat as far aa you can sec.

North Platte is in. the belt where, after seven years of drought they still look forward with hops to next year. North Platte is neither booming nor broke. It is a modern and. unexciting town.

Lincoln, Nov. 30, UP) Sup-nliei of meat and meat animals next year, for the nation as a whole are expected by Nebraska agricultural college officials to be larger then this year, but a slight decline in beef and' pork production is expected in this state. This was ths essence of the Nebraska farm outlook" for 1938, reported today in a survey by the college. The number of hogs in Nebraska Jan. 1, 1937, was about 67 per cent less than the average for the 1926-35 period, the report said.

Comparative figures for Jsn. 1, 1938, were expected to be somewhat lower. "Pork production in Nebraska in 1938 probably will be leas than in' 1937, especially during the lint 8 months of the year the report said. "There ia a probability that the last third of 1938 will show increased production over that of the isms period of 1937."

30, UP) Ralph Budd, president of the Burlington railroad, declared today the railroads could spend a-round 5900,000,000 annually for several years if their ineomes were increased sufficiently to support heavy new honouring. Appearing before the Interstate Commerce commission, Budd spoke in support of the railroad industrys request for a 15 per cent increase in freight rates. He said the new income which would be derived from' the increase would not in itself carry the projected construction and replacement program, but it would make available 'money for paying dividends which, in turn, would support the railroads credit standing. Thus bolstered, Budd said, the nation's carriers could purchase 1 csnannually- for tho next 20 years with a yearly outlay of $800,000,000. They could danojther $300,000, 000, he said, on 2,000 new locomotives a year for several years, eould" spend another more a year in physical improvements in their plants.

Budd said improvements he contemplated for the Burlington would involve expenditures "of perhaps $12,000,000 a year, on an average.1" "The Burlington," he said, "has always had good credit because ts financial structure is very conservative it has relatively email debt, about $884,000,000 compared with more than two and ane lalf times that mueh property value. "So oven a modest return on they value of the property used 'or' trsnsporstion has enabled it to cover its bond interest with good margin.

From the five stations the shipments made or to be made, follow: Hershey, 81,854 tons, 13,390 tons. Sarben, 7,710 tons. OFallons, 6,844 tons. Sutherland, 8,086 tons. All beets grown in the area surrounding North Platte wore 1 shipped from Birdwood.

While growers have received one pay-' ment on their beets, and will re-eeive another payment this week, not until the final payment made, (including the subsidy offered by the Federal gevern-ment) will it bo definitely known the total price per ton the grower. will receive, but it la not likely to be less than seven dollars This" therefore, would -mean distribution of 8863,188 to the growers of the North Platte-Hsr-shey-Sutherland-Sarben districts, the greatest sum it ia said, that J. has ever been disbursed for sugar beets in those districts Taking the districts as a whols, the tonnage per aero this year somewhat above normal and the saccharins contents a shads above the average. Three grow-. ers in these districts averaged twenty-one tons plus per acre, while a dosen other growers aver- aged twenty tons per sere.

The average per acre for the districts has not been computed by the company, The success of the growers this year will probably result in a greater acreage of beets in 1938, and with this increase in acreage necessarily follow the in atallation of more pump tion plants. The Ovid factory, It was learned, can use 40,000 or 50,000 more tons of beets than lt.hu processed during each of ths last several years. Sunday, seventeen North Platte persona visited the Great Western Sugar factory at Ovid, and uw the transition of the eugar beet into sugar. The Ovid factory, while not large thou in the Seottsblfiff area, is more modern in construction than some others owned by the com 'panyl'Trte "factory' "virai'uiltfTn J888 and. today the cost of re-lacemerit set at one and one-- half million dollars.

A -bare sketch of this transl ation being: when the sugar bests brought to Ovid, they are dumped into hugs piles. From there they are scooped into the flumes or troughs which contain running water. From hers they are caught- into wire baskets whieh form the elevators to take them to the wuher. 8000 tons or 50 carloads of beets can pass through this washer in a day. From the washer ths beets ars automatically scooped onto an automatic scale.

This automatic scale wu imported from Got-. many at a cost of $80,000 and when working at top speed can weigh 90 separate loads of 1,500 pounds each an hour. From the scale the beets are dumped into the slieer. The sliced beets are known "eusettes being shaped like a V. From the slieer the beet is then dropped and paeked into hugh tanks to cook.

The "cooked mash is then put through a difusion process, which when dried gives the sugar. Ths Ovid plant makes on an average of 560 bags containing 100 pounds eaefi in an hour and forty The factory, of course, (s in constant operation 84 '-bourses 1 dayi- Every- part of ths T. bcctji jutiliKd the pulp whieh is. used as feed -for eattle. Were even one half of one per cent of the sugar beet lost, the total 'loss per day of sugar would be 840 sacks of 100 pounds.

The capacity of the warehouse is almost a half million 100-pound sacks. From this warehouse the sugar is sent to all parts of the country. Especially interesting to ths writer were 'the facts that 880 tons of coal are used every 84 hours. The factory runs from eighty to one hundred days out of ths year with soma 850 cm-vplojrees, the rest of ths year some fifty employees are maintained to overhaul the machinery and ship out the sugar. "What do the other 300 employees do the rest of the year!" was asked.

At the end, of the campaign, they go out to the mines in the western part of the United States, soma go back to the farms, while others go to Cuba and Puerto Rico and resume their work in other sugar fae-' lories, others work wherever they may find work. Only about 4 per cent of the personnel of the factory changes each year. A ton of sugar beets make approximately 300 pounds of sugar. The labratory runs a continuous test of each of the processes gone through to make tho completed product. These tests of each pro-.

cess ars reported every hour. Tho personnel of the party visiting the factory were: Mr. and Mrs. John Hahler; Mr. and Mrs.

Advertising must live up to its own claims.

That is why you can have full confidence in goods consistently advertised. If the maker has a worthy product, fairly priced, he wants as many people as possible to know about it. If the product is unworthy, the printed word will only expose it sooner. 4 1 Christmas, and all around the calendar, read advertising.
