Tt's a bit difficult to explain to the youth of the land the classic sig nificance of certain names that r.6w are reappearing in the news, such as Anheuser - Busch, Falstaff, Schlitz, Pabst, etc. It's very much like when one of the children finds a picture of one of j-our old girls in the back of an old watch. ; mm Word in at $ g.95 AT THE ''JUNGLE' In a nook at the edge of a wood ed glade On the banks of the "Old Mud dy," near here, There's a camp that "tourist" and " 'bo" have made, And as shrine to their patron hold dear. It's revered by the craft as a kind of retreat From the woes and burdens of care; And in summer or winter his votaries meet To hold social conclave there. A brotherhood wide as the limit- . less land They are bound to no "civil code" But an unwritten law governs each of the band In his conduct as "Knight of the Road." No sovereign to dictate -no creed but their own They are "monarch of all they survey;" In "the jungle" they rule from a mossy throne And carol their glad rounde lay. With a "mulligan stew" a feast for the gods A smoke, and a quaff from the spring. Each knight cites experiences "riding the rods" And the Joy of a life like a king. The sessions are open no guards at the gate Callers "hail met" all hour3 of the day If you crave recreation, permit me to state , You'll be welcome as flowers in May. Take a box" of "Prince Albert," a package of "fags," And visit that "camp" some day; You may hobnob with royalty clad in rags Or a Wallingford gone .to de cay. "K" DIDN'T GO FAE ENOUGH President Hoover's parting mes sage wa3 that co-operation and not partisanship Is the need of the coun try in these times, but it is a prin ciple, which i3 effective also when ap plied between nations. Take the case of the Chinese and Japanese pur chasing agents who were ushered in to the same waiting room of a Brit ish arms factory?1 Falling naturally into a friendly discussion of the war they, proceeded tOj discuss the profits which the manufacturer was making from their orders!' This led to a joint ultimatum to the factory that the prices be lowered and' their united efforts resulted in a 40 percent re duction. It shows what can be ac complished when people resolve to work together in a spirit of friendly co-operation. Grand Island Inde pendent. The Chinese and Japanese pur chasing agents involved in this Inci dent stopped after they had scarcely begun. They demonstrated what could be accomplished when people resolve to work together In a spirit of friend ly co-operation, but they stopped short of accomplishing the most im portant problem facing the two na tions tho establishment of eace be tween nations. These two purchasing agents have no authority to handle the problems of their respective nations. But they can go home and tell the home folks what they did by combining their efforts. They can show how the out side world is profiting by the foolisa warfare that is being carried on Dy China and Japan. They can tell how, had they combined efforts, they would have had to pay almost twice as much for the arms purchased. And then they might mention that the whole business is costly, futile and bloody and might be done away with "in a spirit of friendly co-operation The nationalistic feeling that in spires continued activities is compar able to the partisanship mentioned above. Its elimination and the stay ing of hostilities would be of profit to both nations. Should China and Japan fight economic enemies in a co operative battle against nature and ally their forces in a peace time strug gle, they would both benelt without anguish and bloodshed. It is no more necessary that these two nations should be clawing at each other's throats than it is neces sary that thev should nay two or three price3 for their arms and am munition. By co-operation they de feated the prolteering arms manufac turers. Why cannot they, by co operation, save lives and property Just as they saved themselves money when dealing with a common enemy? Lincoln Star. :o:- Betty Compton, when questioned by reporters, said she didn't know whether she was going to marry Jim my Walker after his divorce or not. "I haven't seen him since last night," hsa remarked. The young lady is un doubtedly telling the truth. No girl in these days who hasn't seen her boy friend since last, night knows wheth er she's going to marry him or not, even if she thought she was. "SEETHING WITH REVOLT' President Roosevelt is pushing hard to make good his promises to agriculture. Ho has accepted as his own, and asked congress to authorize by law, a bold and adventuresome plan for farm relief and for farm relief not next year but now. It is the plan agreed upon, after long study and much consultation, by the farm lead ers themselves and by the experts in farm economics whom Mr. Roosevelt has called to his aid. 'This plan involves the trial ol "a new and untrod path." But "an unprecedented condition calls for a trial of new means to rescue agri culture." And the new means deter mined upon after "deep study and joint counsel" offers, tho president declares, "great promise of good re sults." Considerable opposition, the Asso ciated Press reports, is developing in the senate. And a Washington report to the Des Moines Register cays, of the Roosevelt program as a whole: "Backed by a massed public opinion he demands dictatorial power to control banking, slash veteran expenditures, rule the railroads, manage agriculture, mobilize the unemployed. "How long it will be before the frantic legislators, sweating, squirming under the terrific pressure, will belt remains to be seen. "The caucus rooms, lobbies, corridors seeth with revolt. It took all the guile, craft, and in genuity of democratic floor lead ers in the house to prevent an open break at the party caucus on the economy bill. ... Even among the veteran floor leaders there is disaffection. "In the house, threat of a White house attack cowed the rank and file on the final show down. Republican support of the president also forced the demo cratic membership into line. But it was a sullen, reluctant acquiescence, one promising no good for the future." This is the invariable experience of a new president with a new con cress. Hi3 influence and control lessen with the passing cf each day. At this time the president's task is made far more difficult than usual because of the extraordinary requests for crants cf newer lis ij obliged to make. Unprecedented conditions, freight ed with menaces' to the'eountry un less they ' an :dcal twlt'JElwicOly; and promptly, justify thosrj ra;u23t3. And they make it far mere important than in other tl:ne3 that the president's leadership bo supported. President Roosevelt needs in con gress every cunco of etrength, every item of support, he can get, and needs it now. His tremendous task will steadily become more difficult. Tho hope of the country Lang3 on its successful pcTfomcr.ee. And the president's hope, la congress, hangs on tho support of the American peo ple, regardless of party, or class, or section. It Is tic pressure of "massed public opinion" that alono can in sure, on the vital measures that im pend, the favorable action of con gres3. There never vrr.3 a time when it was so important as now for every citizen to be i. j-cing up lh- hands oi the president of the United States And there i3 no other way to do it so effective an for the voters to keep in toucn with thslr cenator3 and rep resentatives nt Wa-hington; to exert to the uttermost their proper influ ence, individual and combined, wit' the officials they have commission ed to represent them. With the bill for agricultural re lief, cf such moment to Nebraska soon to be acted upon, and with ser ious opposition rlreacly growing, the people cf this state should lose not a moment's time in making their voices heard in the halls cf congress. World-Herald. :o: "The Freri-Jcnt cclcjratC3 his wed ding anniversary lcte." And we sup pose a President can get away with it, especially one as busy as Mr, Roosevelt has been. But ordinary mortals chouldn't attempt any eva sions or r-o-.tponemsnta of that im portant cbacrrcne?. . :o: Charli3 Dosttcher, tha Denver man recently returned from kidnaping ad venture, has iCcntiacd a ranch house near Chazibsrlain, 3.

The placo Is said to be an ordinary tzvr.i, never having been used as a duda ranch before. -:o: Joan Crawford make3 it plain that Doug, jr.3 alienation cult is not the cause cf their separation. Joan hasn't been abla to call to mind exactly what the rsa-on was, beyond the certainty tiat ths alienation suit had nothing to do with it. The alienation suit, it cccir.-, :az nothing more than one of ttors nera coincidences which happon so often in the movies. If your neighbor has a fire loss you will sympathize with him especially if he hasn't sufficient insurance. But would he have to sympathize with you? S. S. DAVIS Ground Floor Bates Eldg.
