O'er land and ea and mountains . gray. . ., tThe: -walls ofr'omy' garden are massivo and high, To keep noxious ; weeds that eternally try, A place among my plants to make, So drastic steps I have to take. My garden is arranged with a swinging gate, Closed to the public both early and late, A knock from without or a voice from the breeze, Don't open the latch string un less I please, If I open my garden to all that accrue, The seeds of discord are ready to pass through, And strike my plants with a stunning blow, The choicest ones; that lovingly grow. So I shall close my garden by night and day, To keep the foul seeds from getting full sway. Uprooting my plants all hardy and strong, From noxious seedlings substan tially wrong.

Harris, who, polica say, ccnfe3S- ed beating and stabbing to death James J. Smith, before an impro vised altar in the Harris home, is said by detectives to have admitted plans to kill Judges E. J. Jeffries and A. E. Gordon. They said Haris also admitted planning to kill a woman welfare worker whose name he cculd not remember. The slaying of Smith, whom Harris numbered among the members of his religious cult was said by police to have been intended as a human sacrifice. Police said Harris told them Smith was a willing victim. Washington, Nov. 21. Prepared for tomorrow's momentous debt talk with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Presi dent Hoover tonight held ready to place upon that conference table a definite program, possibly to include recommendations for revival of the war debt commission. Even as the chief executive round ed out his plans in a series of par leys with his seconds and advissrs, j however, renewed opposition to the re-creation of the debt ccmmuEion resounded on Capitol hell. Meanwhile, also, another twist was added to tho already complex debt problem as Czechoslovakia deposited at the state department alongside those of Great Britain, Franco and Belgium a note asking suspension of its SI, 500, 000 paymor.t dua Decem ber 15. Secretary Mills, who will assist the president tomorrow, conferred twice with him today. Whether Mr. Hoo ver may abandon hi 'previous rpon sorship of re-establishing t!ie debt commission in the face c heavy con gressional opposition, the 'treasury secretary would net ray.

Hoo ver, or Eugge-tiono given by Mr. Roosevelt to democratic lcadcrj and enacted by congress. During the day White hou:s aides shifted plans for the reception to the New York governor.

Bates, Owner and Publisher, Plattsmouth Evening Journal, Plattsmouth, Nebr. Dear Sir: Referring to tho Nov. 12 issua of your paper which contained article headed: "Says Motor Vehicles Pay for Highways." I want to call your attention to the fact that fcr tie year 1931 the amounted to ?42,G42.7G. Of this amount $5,043.22 wa3 for county road and bridg3 and 51.S30.05 . for nrccinct road taxes. I assume the Missouri Pacific ai:d Rscl: Island also paid precinct read taxes. I note Ilr. LJcMakcn neglected to mention this precinct road tax which for our line amounted to two-fifth of the county road tax. While notcr vehicles pay license and tax fees fcr their home county. thev can operate anywhero in the United Stateo without afiditional tax, whereas the railrnad3 pay taxes in each county in which they operate.
