THE FABMEB9 FLIGHT - .- Why do farmers cry for farm relief and do not vote for.it? Why-does a Progressive Senator tell usL "No man who has such perverted views of decency ought to be entrusted with unlimited power," etc., and then request the farmer to place his cause In the hands of that power a power that for seven and one-half years manifested neither interest nor con cern? Can such a Progressive, hav Ing Just returned from the public forum, with the public'9 full know ledge of pronounced mlsrepreaenta tion on the issues of immigration tariff, power, etc., be trusted to pilot farm relief through an extra session of Congress, with lta inherited vetoes? Why expect farm relief from Sen ators . possessed with the foregoing record, schooled in the sleeping pol icies of the past seven and one-half years? Farm ' mortgages, intereBt taxes, depreciation, etc., grow into the billions, with no hope of value recovery within the lifetime of the average farmer of the present day Only those of us who walk the well beaten path and between farmhouse and barn (dally) and see (in one body) 2000 acres of idle, abandoned lana. once nign-priceu. Dut now without any definite fixed value; or like the writer's neighbor, possessed of a farm with a $16,000 mortgage upon it, overflowed both In 1927 and 1928, sustaining three consecutive crop losses with the result that in terest and taxes remain unpaid and local banks refuse further loans only those whose experiences such as here given, and their number are defined by more than six figures carry the mental anxiety and know the real meaning of the last seven and one-half years of administratlor neglect Imposed upon every farmer in the country.

I ;p; i ... . A WOMAN'S TASK Mrs. Nellie A. Michigan farm Mellon 71-year-old woman astonished ber neighbors by husking 410 crates of corn. If you have ever had a fling at that extremely hard Job you will realize what endurance and physi cal 6tamina that called for. : That little news item reminds us forcibly of the difference between the ' present day and the day of our fath ers, it was not so many years ago that a farm woman, even in her age. had to be able to take hard Jobs like that as a matter - of course. The early settlers took back-breaking work as a regular feature of exist ence. They never experienced any thing else. Now, when a 71-year-old woman husks 410 crates of corn, it becomes an interesting new story. A few de- . cades ago it was a commonplace. ;o: One of the favorite issues just be fore each election is to advocate the abolishing of useless boards and com missions, and some time after elec tion, when th statisticians begin to figure up how many there are, they always get a higher number.

Stewart, chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, adds still another miscar riage of Justice to the long legal travesty that has followed the oil scan daL Stewart was tried on charge of perjury. He had made two entirely different and contradictory statements to the Senate Committee investigating the Continental Trad- ng Co. He was acquitted by the Jury . on a technicality, the Judge having instructed the jurora that '.he point to be decided by them was whether Stewart had testified before less than eight Senators. The prose cution had admitted that the Senate committee had lacked two member of having a quorum when Stewart testified, so the verdict -was. a fore gone conclusion. : ' ' ' '. Thanks to this technical, legal twiet. Stewart is teday-free and will remain unpunished. There la no vindication for Stewart In his ac luittal and he deserves the condem nation of the community for his part "n the oil scandal. After calling on '.Mr. Hoover at Pala Alto, John F. Lucey of Dallas, Texas, "president of . the Associated Hoover Club of Texas, left the pur pose of his ' mission somewhat en shrouded in ' uncertainty. He went no further than to issue the brief statement: "The break, in the 6olld south is permanent if Mr.' Hoover meets the wishes of the Bouth. and I am confident that he will.' , .11 :o: ' SPEED AND ACCIDENTS An English traffic expert, after a long study of traffic statistics, finds that something like S6 per cent of all traffic accidents occur when the autos Involved are being driven at a rate of 10 miles an hour or less. As a result, he doubts if speed limits. by themselves are really greatly needed. It has been obvious for some time that mere speed, uncomplicated by any other factor is not necessarily dangerous. There are plenty of times and places where 45 miles an hour is not too fast. But tliere is this to remember; if. driving at 10 miles an hour, you hap pen - to hit another car, you won't have a very bad wreck. But if you hit something when you're doing 40, you probably won't live to have an other accident. The low speeds may bring the greater number of acci dents, but the higher speeds bring the more serious ones. :o:- A Chieago Jury not only acquitted a confession murderer with c motion. For that matter, even the prosecu ting attorney broke down and. wept. The Washington Jury that acquitted Stewart, cf Indiana Standard Oif managed to keep its feeling under control, but the issue there was merely whe ther it is possible to com mit legal perjury when there is not a quorum present. ; :o: To shoot a projectile to the moon it would be necessary for It to have a velocity of seven miles a second. The average big gun can give a speed of only about one oae-hun dredta of. that rate. ,; ," .to! ; , , Phone tie newt. JKo. B Urges Matching -Dollars to Get the Road Graveled Tax Payer Residing Along the Route - to County Seat Says Proposi tion of Board Good One Editor Courier: What has become of the proposed gravel road to the county seat that we read so much about in the Cour ier a few months ago? Has the edi tor got cold feet or perhaps writer's cramp9? The proposition of the board of county commissioners to match dollars to gravel this road seems a good one as the money is to be taken from the auto license fund, and as I understand it, is not re quired for dragging or other pur poses. People who are interested in this road could well afford to make up a purse to match the county fund and then put on about two inchts of gravel. This would suffice to keep the wheels of progress and automo biles running until such time as it would need more. ' Some people claim that two inches of gravel is Insufficient but even one Inch would help a lot. With the new government bridge being built across the Missouri river at Plattpmouth this road would stand a mighty good chance of being the route selected to extend on west If it is placed In con dition. In that event the day will not be far distant, I believe, when we would have a paved road built by federal aid. On the other hand, if this highway is permitted to remain in its present condition, we will have little to offer as an inducement to route the cross country highway over the shortest and best route, the Plattsmoutb. - Louisville - Greenwood road. - Every land owner living along this route for from one to two miles on either aide should and no doubt would be willing to pay a reasonable amount toward such a fund If ap proached In the proper manner. Now, Mr. Editor, don't lay down on the Job! You have ben on the right track and should not become discouraged. The road Is certain to come for Nebraska must be pulled out of the mud. I have traveled over many counties in the state on good graveled hightways, but when I want to go to the county seat in Cass coun ty ( one of the best and richest coun ties in the state, I must plow through the mud. , If . graveled roads are a good thing for other counties, they would be a good thing for Cass coun ty. Come on. let's go! An Eight Mile Grove TAX PAYER OFF FOB CHICAGO from Friday" Daily William Brandt of the Nehawka high school was one of the members of the champion livestock judging team of Nebraska, left this evening for Omaha to join the rest of the club members , who are making the trip to Chicago.
