entirely seasonal and that the land is owned in large units and operated for the most part by machinery. Only at harvest time is there a demand for additional labor, and when the highly perishable fruit and vegetable crops are harvested, the worker must move on to other places to find employment. These people have become known as migratory laborers and rarely stay in one place as long as six months.

They were willing also to take title to the ditch and assume responsibility for its future maintenance.

3. Irven Pratt, tenant on the George Emerson farm, offered the right-of-way for what was generally regarded as a very reasonable price under the circumstances, $200. 4. County board members present (Supervisors Johnson, Brandl, Los-eke, Rudat, and Korte) informally consented to the county's purchase of the right-of-way, but would not agree that the county remove about 45 trees that would have to be taken out. As for improving the portion of the Dry creek-Cherry creek ditch south of highway 22, district officials took the position that it was up to the county to do that work under the agreement whereby the district is enlarging the north part This week only!

Drainage Parley Stalemate But Hope Is Seen for Reaching Agreement Without Litigation Progress toward a solution of drainage problems along the Foley road west of Monroe and the Dry creek-Cherry creek ditch east of Monroe was noted during a lengthy conference last night at the regular meeting of the Loup power district directors, participated in by a group of the interested farmers, represented by Attorney D.

Flory; five members of the board of supervisors and County Attorney Dougherty, representing the county, and the directors, Engineer Armatis, and Attorney Wagner, for the power district. Though the conference last night ended in a "stalemate," with no definite decision reached, there are still prospects that a mutually satisfactory plan will be worked out for solution of the problems without litigation. A. H. Backus, chairman of Warns Against Migration of Farm Laborers West Coast Far From Being Work Mecca, FSA Officer Says Farm families in distressed circumstances, who are contemplating selling their goods and moving to the west coast in search of a livelihood, should weigh the matter very carefully before moving, W.

C. Solomon, local security administration supervisor, said today. While incomes from crops in 1938 have been less than anticipated, and some farmers are talking of giving up their holdings to go to other places, Solomon said conditions at "the other end of the rainbow" are not nearly as rosy as might be pictured. The FSA supervisor added that he had not heard of any Platte county farmers that have migrated to other states this fall, and that present migrations are more prevalent in the north part of Nebraska, but said it was likely that local removals are contemplated now, for materializing later in the winter. It was to advise against removals without definite objectives and arrangements that Mr.

Solomon detailed living conditions of such tran Combination Hook Side Semi-Stepin Teachers Give Shoe Fund Boost Two Other Good Fellows Also Come to Aid of Needy Children Thanks to the co-operation of the teachers in the city school system and also two other old-time friends of the cause, The Telegram Shoe Fund for needy children jumped $72 today to reach a total of $324.69. Teachers in the city schools, who are In better position than most folks to observe the condition of pupils' clothes and know their individual needs, are regular contributors each year to the Shoe Fund. Today noon, City Superintendent McGee turned over to The Telegram the receipts of a collection the teachers had taken up among themselves. It totaled $60. Other Good Fellows who never pass up a Shoe Fund plea and who have sent in their contributions since yesterday's report are Theodore Friedhof, $10, and Mrs.

Mark Shorts, $2. Even the Weatherman is co-operating in this worthy cause, staving off very cold temperatures and snowstorms temporarily, thus giving the Good Fellows of the community opportunity to get their Shoe Fund together in time to meet the heavy demands that are sure to be made on it when the first really severe weather comes. But it's a race against time, and only through early action on the part of the many folks who intend to help the fund along can it be won so that no child in Platte county shall be forced to trudge to school through wintry weather without adequate footwear. Please send in your donations to The Daily Telegram; mark them "Shoe Fund," and they'll be duly acknowledged through the columns of the paper. WORLD FAMOUS RODEO FIGURE FOUND DEAD SANTA FE, N.

M. IP Death' by carbon monoxide today cancelled plans of one of the world's best known rodeo figures to stage another of his famous western shows in the heart of New York. Tex Austin, 52, who sponsored the first Madison Square Garden rodeo in 1922, toured England with his troupe, and fought with Pancho Villa's revolutionary army in Mexico, was found dead by his wife. Opportunity uses the Want Ad8 vou can't afford to miss them. worse than the ones they left behind i them," Green reported.

"Usually they live in tents which they carry them. In many cases their only supply of drinking water is an open irrigation ditch into which the waste from other camps have been thrown. No protection from disease is possible." The farm security administration has made some progress, in improving circumstances of migratory workers by establishing- camps with the minimum essentials of healthful living at a few of the more congested points, it was reported. As long as there is a surplus of laborers in that region, as is found at the present time however, California is not a refuge for financially distressed farmers of the state, the federal agency added. STRADLEY WINS C0RNHUSK TITLE LINCOLN 0P Frank Stradley, 29-year-old farmer residing a mile northeast of Havelock, won the Lancaster county cornhusking championship yesterday by tossing 17.14 bushels in his wagon in 80 minutes.

Coun ty board members inquired as to what the district would charge for doing the work with its dragline. Engineer Armatis estimated, rough ly, that it would cost 10 to 12 cents a yard.

The supervisors did not commit themselves on that point, there still being a question as to division of responsibility there how much of the work might be "maintenance" and how much "new construction," and a question, also, as to whether some means might be found of having the dredging done at a lower rate. Also, no one was in position to state definitely how much yardage would have to be moved. The conference "bogged down" on the question of who would remove the tree stumps from the Emerson land. During the discussion, the supervisors had rejected a suggestion that removal of the trees be made a WPA project, on grounds that it would take several weeks to get such a proposition through, but after ad journment of the conference, WPA Project Supervisor Herman Becher, who had heard part of the discussion but hadn't been called on, said he believed authorization for a WPA project could be procured in about 10 days, which renewed hopes that this stumbling block may be removed in that manner in Friday's conference. Interested farmers present at the conference included Mr.

Pratt, Will Hill, Frank Dischner and Frank Potter. City Briefs Gym Class Young men's gym class will meet tonight at at 8 o'clock. The class is for those who are out of high school and not over 25 years old. Married Vaughn L. Hendrickson and Miss Jessie L.

Frank Rudat, local chairman of the organization, said today that amplifier equipment would be installed so persons, outside the courtroom could hear the address. Republican Speakers Delayed Scheduled to start at 2:30 p.

the republican meeting in the city auditorium featuring campaign talks by Charles J. Warner, party nominee for governor, and his companion, Colonel Robert G. Douglas of Lincoln, did not get under way until after 3 p. m. because Mr.

Warner and Col. Douglas were delayed half an hour in their arrival here from West Point. An audience of about 200 people patiently awaited them. Present, also, and scheduled for brief talks, were William E. Johnson of Schuyler, republican nominee for lieutenant governor, and most of the party's county candidates.

Frank Fleming of Creston, county central committee chairman, opened the meeting, and then turned the gavel over to Committee Secretary Charles H. Sheldon to preside. The meeting was in progress at The Telegram's press time. Return From Europe -Attorney and Mrs. Otto F.

Walter and daughter, Virginia Jane, returned last night from a five-and-a-half months' tour of Europe which took them through both cities and rural areas of the British Isles, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Holland and Belgium. Using their family automobile, they traveled more than 12,000 miles through the continent and. on the islands. A planned jaunt into Czechoslovakia, however, did not materialize, due to the intense international situation existing through the latter part of September. The Walter family left Columbus May 7, returning to the city Oct.

25. A more detailed account of their extended journey through Europe will be carried in The Daily Telegram columns later this week.

It's doubly useful, because it's two coats in one! the district claims committee, indicated today that the committee would seek a further conference with that end in view Friday afternoon when the supervisors are scheduled to meet at the court house on a county highway matter. Objectives Sought Objectives which the, interested farmers seek, as stated by Attorney Flory last night, are (1) an outlet for the drainage water along the Foley road, from the point where the Loup district's ditch now ends at State Highway 22, two miles west of Monroe, southward to Looking Glass creek, and (2) improvement of the south part of Dry creek-Cherry creek ditch (south of Highway 22) so it will have ample capacity to handle the water coming down from that part of the ditch north of the highway which is now being widened by the district under an arrangement with the county board. Question of division of responsibility has been an impeding factor, and Mr.

Flory said that unless the district and the county get together, his clients will bring mandamus proceedings in court against both in effort to get the protection they want against flooding of their lands. Progress fviade Progress made toward a friendly solution of the problems last night included the following: 1. District Engineer Olmstead of the state highway department, present at the conference on invitation, said he believed the state would enlarge the culvert capacity under highway 22 along the east side of the-Foley road temporarily to serve as an outlet for water there if the present ditch were extended southward, until plans for improving the highway, now under consideration, are consummated. If this is done it will remove the biggest obstacle to solution of the drainage problem there, as the district has been willing to extend the ditch south but not to build a bridge over the highway. 2.

District officials evidenced their readiness to extend the ditch from highway 22 south along the west side of the Emerson land about 7C0 Fall Coat Week Thriller! sient laborers on the west coast. Temporary Work From a statement recently released by W. J. Green, assistant re gional FSA director in the west coast region, it is noted that there is no encouragement to farm families of the midwest to go there unless they already have permanent employment. 'Frequent statements reach Nebraska that there is a shortage of laborers at certain points in the west," Mr.

Green reported. "These statements are probably correct, but the people making them- often fail to add that the work will last for only a short time, that living conditions in the area are undesirable and that when the work is finished, the laborer may find himself stranded in a community far from other employment with no hope of assistance from local sources." Green pointed out that agricultural labor in California is almost MEN LOVE BJFH' GIRLS WITH PEIr If you are peppy and full of fun, men will invite you to dances and parties.
