Greenwood for the afternoon last
Sunday, with their many friends, and
by so doing they were making the
ties of friendship a wee bit tighter be
tween themselves and their many
friends here.
The Community Spirit
The Community spirit of the city
of Greenwood was abundantly demon
strated when on Christmas eve the
citizens and the business men got to
gether with the idea in view of car
ing for those who were in poorer cir
cumstances, and providing them with
good eats for the Christmas day as
well as seeing that they had fuel,
shelter and clothing. This will not
stop with this day alone but will be
carried out to the best of the ability
of the people in the community dur
ing the time of need. On Christmas
eve the municipal tree was surround
ed by the citizens and the kiddies
being in evidence and a happy time
was had when the program was ren
dered and the gifts distributed. The
kiddies enjoyed the treats very much.

Business is good and the only amuse
ment place in Greenwood. J. C.

Makes Miniature Anvils
S. S. Petersen, who is a sure enough

Christmas at Murdock

other relatives in Greenwood were
over to Murdock, where they all en
joyed a six o'clock dinner at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Lee, and
where all enjoyed the occasion very
much.
We Do Not Enow
The room of W. E. Newkirk which
was formerly occupied by the Copes
and Anderson grocery, and has been
vacant for some two or more months,
was being painted during the last
week by some painters from Lincoln.
It looked like there might be a new
enterprise of some kind going to em
bark on the business sea of Green
wood and the writer inquired, but re
ceived the gruff reply, "I do not know
anything about the matter. We are
painting the place because it needs
it." Well that it all right, we al
ways held that a good coat of paint
was a good insurance policy, and it
makes things look better as well.
Progressing Fairly Well
Mrs. R. E. Mathews, who has been
at the hospital in Lincoln, where she
underwent an operation for the re
moval of gallstones which had been
troubling this excellent young woman
for . some time and who since the

verely Injured on hi knee while -listing

injured knee. He-is at this time do
ing fairly well but has to remain at
the hospital for some time yet. A
number of his friends were over dur
ing the past week to visit with him,
among whom were Mr. and Mrs. E
L. McDonald and Homer Clement,
who visited there on Sunday last.
Borah Demand
that Europe Put
House in Order
Otherwise United States Must Leave
it to Work Out Own Problems;
Bankruptcy If We Stay.
Washington Senator Borah gave
Europe some tart advice Thursday
with the statement that if it is not
heeded the Unied States must "come
out of Europe and stay out." The
chairman of the foreign relations
committee said he saw no hope for
European recovery unless reparations
are wiped out altogether and arma
ments cut drastically. He indicated
tne latter might well be 30 or 40
percent.
He did not explain what coming
out of Europe and staying out en
tailed, but he commented that un
less the continent sets its house in
order, America should pursue the
policies followed before the war and
attend to its own affairs. "It will
cost us something to come out," he
said, "but it will bankrupt us to
stay in. Since 1915, in one way and
another w-e have put close to 45 bil
lion dollars in Europe. It has not
ended the economic crisis in Europe
and it has brought an economic crisis
to the United States."
He made no reference to war
debts, but .the somewhat reproving
tone of the senator reflected as other
congressional leaders indicated they
were in no mood for further mora
toriums. This, however, did not les
sen the conviction that the United
States will not be paid in full, but
the temper of the expressions was that
if our former allies did not pay, they
could default.
Impatience with the European
situation has been expressed before
by Borah. He said recently he did
not believe there would be any real
truce in Europe until the Versailles
treaty was .revised. "For twelve
years conferences have been held, re
adjustments made, but hone brought
relief. he said. "The downward
movement economically has been al
most constant.
"Fcr twelve years we have been
told that this plan, or that plan, as
sured recovery, all based upon some
temporary expediency with reference
to reparations."
Some might declare, he said, that
France is entitled to her uncondi
tional payments to cover damages
dene during the war.
"The answer is that Germany has
paid in different ways on reparations
some 19,500,000.000," he said.
"Fifty-two percent of this has gone
to France. This gives her an amount
equal to. if not greater than her dam
ages, according to her own esti
mates." State Journal.

Bridging Gap
in Legislation
is Advocated
American Legislators' Association,
Speaker Says Methods Unim
proved Since First Says
Chicago Declaring that there has
been "no significant nation-wide im
provement in state law-making ma
chinery since the time of George
Washington," Mr. Henry W. Toll,
director of the American Legislators'
Association, and formerly a state
senator in Colorado, outlined a pro
gram for improving methods here.
"There is no denying that the
country's 7500 state legislators are
not doing their job in a satisfactory
way," Mr. Toll said. "The public is
not satisfied, and the lawmakers
themselves are not satisfied."
The outstanding fault of the sys
tem, he said, is that state laws are
not made by a body which has any
kind of permanence at all, but by a
procession of men passing through
the capital, because out of the 7500
lawmakers 5500 are elected for a
term which includes only one regu
lar session. The first step toward
improvement, he said, is to provide
that no legislator should be elected
for less than two regular sessions
at least.
Because of the long period between
each session, he pointed out, there is
no continuance of efTort to improve
legislative methods and be urged that
the Legislature have a committee
working through the period between
sessions on how to improve the pro
cedure and practice of the body.
Each state, he added, ought to have
an adequate legislative reference bu
reau. There ought to be regional con
ferences cf legislator' to exchange-
ideas on important issues, and then
annual national conferences with
representatives from each state on
legislative subjects such as educa
tion, where public welfare is so
largely involved. Such a conference.
he suggested, might meet concur
rently with the National Education
Association, and great good come
out or the plan. The American Leg
islators' Association, he said, hope:?
eventually to sponsor an interstate
legislative assembly to promote co
ordination of effort between the
states.
While he thus put it up to tho
law makers themselves to improve
their work, Mr. Toll said the public
could help greatly by adopting a
different attitude toward the state
legislator. "At present." he said.
"the office carries little prestige.
much criticism and suspicion, ant;
there is simply no attraction for
the better class of men who should
be in the legislatures. There are.
however, a grvat many men who
are trying to do the right thing by
their jobs, and they need every bit
of support they can have from the
public."
PIGEONS
CARRY
NEWS OF HOMERS
New Ycrk. Dec. 23. The Japanese
are making rapid strides in baseball
but they have some distance yet to
go before they can rival Americans,
says Lou Gehrig of the New York
Yankees. Gehrig, was one of the
major league group which recently
completed a tour of the orient.
"The players have progressed
marvelously in a defensive way,"
he said. "But they lack the bit
ting strength and power of the
American players."
An then there were the carrier
pigeons in the pressbox at Toklo.
They were one of the most amazing
features of the trip to Gehrig.
."Somebody would hit a
triple or a homer with men on
bases," he remarked, "and be
fore the cheering had died
down the pigeons would be on
their way to the newspaper of
fices with a message about the
hit."
FORMER BANDIT AT HOME
New York Seven years ago Mrs.
Cecilia Cooney was widely known as
the original "bobbed-haired bandit."
but Friday her first Christmas out of
jail since 1924, she stayed quietly
at home and hoped for "a cottage in
the country where we can raise
chickens." Her husband, convicted
with her after a series of sensational
chain store holdups in Rrooklyn was
with her. He also was recently re
leased from jail after seven years.
Cooney was particularly happy,
because the court claims Thursday
awarded him $12,000 for the loss of
a hand while working with prison
machinery. He said they would use
the money to buy "the cottage and
chickens." Both were a little wary
of interviewers, it being a stipulation
of their parole that they seek no
publicity. It would be just a quiet
Christmas, they said, with a church
service followed by a turkey feast.

AID TO SCHOOLS PLEDGED
Chicago Chicago officialdom and
citizenry pledged united support to
keep the school houses open and
drive the wolves from the school
teachers' doorsteps. A radio appeal
came from Mayor Cermak asking
every citizen to buy tax anticipation
warrants to provide funds. Thirty-
seven state legislators held an emer
gency meeting and pledged to pass
financial relief legislation when the
state assembly reconvenes after
Christmas.
The school teachers themselves,
optimistic after receiving two weeks'
cash pay in time for Christmas shop
ping, planned to hold a "school re
lief day" during the holiday vaca
tion. They would rather work with
out pay, they said, than allow the
schools to be closed.

seventy-nine year old Ellis county
farmer, was reported in the hands

the kidnaping from a son, Henry Ber
ens. twenty-eight, who was found
tied and gagged in the home where
he and his father lived alone at Wal
ker, fifteen miles east of Hays. A
note was left by the three young men
who were unknown to Henry, saying
his father would be returned un
harmed Thursday morning.
Berens appeared at the bank in
Gorham in company with three men
who were strangers to the employes
of the institution and cashed the
check for 500 saying he was set
tling for some cattle he had pur
chased. The bank employes noticed
nothing unusual.

Benefits No Nation
London A younger man cannot
help noticing, especially around
Armistice Day each year, that in the
thoughts of his elders of the war
generation there exists, coupled to
their "never again" determination,
an underlying fear. Knowing th:t
we had no active experience of the
horrors which are still a memory to
them, they imagine that the League
of Nations and other peace ma
chinery will not long survive the;.;,
lacking sympathy and public support
from an age that lu.s tut directly
suffered as they have.
I think they are very wrong. To
us of the "post-war generation" the
war is less of a personal experience
and more of an historical object
lesson. It is a more complete picture
along with its causes nd results,
than it can ever be to those who were
in the thick of it. Moreover, our lack
of direct knowledge ot' pre-war con
ditions makes us. perhaps, more
capable of realizing the true impli
cations of the post war situation. In
perspective we can see the destruc
tion of the false doctrine of "pre
paredness." the fa!lure of the
"balance of power" system. And by
bitter expeiience we can realize that
no participating nation has eventu
ally benefited from war.
Finds Machinery Jammed
The student leaves his university
today to find the world's financial
and economic machinery completely
jammed, while old-fashjpned engi
neers probe in its delicate intricacies
with crowbars of nationalism and
desperation. We are faced with ar.
"inevitable" world economic depres
sion and financial dislocation. It is
only "inevitable," however, iu so fur
as the statesmen of today are unable,
or else unwilling, to proceed on lines
of rational cooperation among the
nations. For only by real concessions
and limitations cf national freedom
can we se ure real freedom interna
tionally, freedom from the inevita
bili tyof economic dislocation, lead
ing eventually to the disasters of
future and more terrible wars.
It' is definitely from this convic
tion that only practical, progres
sive, cooperative planning and or
ganization, both financially and eco
nomically on an international scale
can put an end to this disastrous
state of affairs, that the post-war
generation turns to the League oi
Nations.
Concentrating on the fundamental
problem of the day, we support every
effort to outlaw war as a method of
national policy, for peace Is the first
essential fcr organization and re
construction. I say this with some
authority, after three years' con
nection with student organizations of
all sorts in Britain, and I feel that
I voice the opinions of American stu
dents also, judging from the attitude
of the many I have met all over
Kurope, at Geneva, and among the
Rhodes scholars at Oxford. This
was also the attitude of the dele
gates to the British American Stu
dent's Conference at Ann Arbor last
July, under the auspices of the
British Universities League of Na

Relations Clubs at the Carnegie En
dowment.
SAY MEAT MUST BE INSPECTED
Lincoln, Dec. 22. Killing of hogs
and cattle and bringing the meat
into Lincoln and selling it without
ispection is in violation of the city
ordiances, city legal department of
ficials pointed out Tuesday. The fail
ure of farmers to comply with the
law is not willful, in the opinion of
Max Kier, city attorney, "as it is
more than likely they know nothing
about the inspection being required.
"There is no intention ou the
part of the health department
to hinder farmers making a few
dollars on the side," Dr. W. C.
Foltz, city meat inspector, de
clared. "On the contrary we are
glad to allow them to kill their
own meat and bring it to town
to sell. The inspection fee of 5
cents a head on hogs and 10
cents on cattle is small and will
make virtually no difference in
the revenue from the sales. The
inspections will be made if the
farmer will call the health de
partment. ENDUES SEEKS JOHN HUNTER
Lincoln, Dec. 22. Sheriff Michael
Endres announced on Tuesday his
department had taken up the search
for John Hunter, reputedly wealthy
North Platte bootlegger, and that
they were following the theory Hun
ter had been highjacked of a load of
liquor and then taken for a ride.
Hunter disappaered after leaving
North Platte on August 3. His car
was located later in Omaha, but of
ficers were unable to determine who
took it there .
Endres said he has assigned two
deputies to the investigation and
that they had traced Hunter as far
as Grand Island, where he was seen
on the day ot his disappearance eat
ing lunch with a man he described
us "Crozier" or "Croshay."
Endres said he had heard Hunter
made $50,000 on a liquor deal short
ly before his disappearance.

May Be Hitler Destiny
Once Refused Naturalization as German, Fiery
Leader of Nazis Is Most Formidable Fig

HrrxER
Observers who keep their fingers on the pulse of German polities are
freely predicting that the next few months may bring a remarkable
change in the government of the country. They are saying that the
possibility of Germany accepting a dictator is not so remote as is sup
posed by outsiders, and the name most often whispered in connection
with such a prospect is that of Adolf Hitler, the leader of the National
Socialist Party, corresponding to the Italian FascistL Hitler, though
one of the most formidable figures in Der Vaterland, remains very
much of a mystery. It is known that he was born in the little town of
Braunau on tho Austro-German border, the son of a customs official,
and that he was put to work as a painter and decorator after receiv
ing a common school education. Ha joined the German Army as a
private during the World War and consequently lost his Austrian
citizenship. On applying for naturalization as a German citizen, his
request was refused; so Hitler is actually a man without a country. la
1923 he was sentenced to five years imprisonment for high treason
for his part in General Ludendc. .' attempted coup d'etat at Munich,
but was released after serving on - year. Since that time Hitler has
built up his Nazis until today hi. arty is the second largest in tho
country. With the reins of government slipping from tho senile grasp
of President von Hindenburg, Hitler is content to sit liko a cat outside
a mouse hole, calmly and confidently waiting to grasp the helm.
Berlin, Dec. 24. That which we
call Fate has a peculiar, one might
.say perverse, sense of humor. From
time immemorial it has been known
as the perpetrator of topsy-turvey
situations, but, if observers who keep
their fingers on the political pulse in
Germany are correct in their predic
tions, none has been more replete
with ironical humor than the position
in which Der Vaterland finds itself
today with regard to Adolf Hitler.
During the World war, this man,
who has risen to be one of the most
dominating figures in the new Ger
many, was disowned by his native
Austria for his having taken the oath
of allegiance to the German Empire
on joining the Kaiser's army as a
private. IJeing really a German at
heart, the loss of his birthright did
not unduly disturb Hitler. Hut when
he was refused naturalization as a
(itizen of the new German republic
ah! that hurt, but not enough to make
the man who was now without a
country lie down and take a count.
On the contrary it filled him with
bitter determination to write his
name into the history of the country
that didn't want him. How well he
has succeeded to date Is very appar
ent: for it is an open secret in Ber
lin that if the present administration
falls. Hitler will climb upon the ruins
to dominate the country.
