Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Dickerson and
children of Lincoln spent Sunday at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Godbey here.
Clarence Curyea, of Lincoln, was
a caller in AIvo on Tuesday of last
wee, meeting with his many friends
here as well as locking after some
business matters.
C. W. Jewell is having some work
done at the cafe and cream station
in the way cf changing a window to
admit better light and also provide
better ventilation during the warm
er periods of the year.
Chris Eikerman and Clarence
Curyea were shelling and delivering
their crcp of corn, which was grown
cn the land just north of town. The
grain wa3 sold to the Rehmeier ele-l
vatcr, being delivered last Wednes
day. The Coalman and Skinner company
tcok seme stock to Lincoln on last
Wednesday and cn their return trip,
brought a Farmall tractor for the
AIvo Hardware and Implement com
pany, which the latter concern had
disposed of to Elmer Bennett.
Mrs. Edith Kitzel, who resides two
miles south of town, has been having
a new shingle rocf placed on her
farm home. The work is being done
by carpenters from Ehnwood and the
materials were furnished by the AIvo
lumber yard, conducted by John W.
Earning.
The coming cf Spring and near
ness cf the time when farm work
will begin is bringing greatly in
creased business to the AIvo Hard
ware and Implement company, and
iz has been re:essary to secure ad
ditional storage room for the display
cf their goods.
Tailing Interest in Ejection
The voters of the village of AIvo
as well as cf the school district are
showing much interest in the elec
tion which is to be held Tuesday for
the selection of members of the vil
lage board and the schoi.l board. The
town election is the one that i cre
ating the most interest and all are
concerned as to the set of officers
who will direct the affairs of the
municipality during the coming two
years. As a result a large vote is
expec ted to turn cut and exercise the
constitutional right of franchise. The
school election is not attracting near
ly as much interest as the town one,
but those who turn out to vote for
town officers will also cast their vote
for school board members. Well, we
will see what the result may be af
ter the votes are counted.
Met with Serious Accident
While Sterling Coatman was husy
at his work in the auto repair shop
he conducts, and was using a cold

That Last Tarewell
Farewell dear mother it was
that last goouby
I am doing the best I can to
meet you when I die.
I hope to meet you there in
heaven clad in a rube of
.vhito
And the angels singing anthems
of Holy delight.
Oh how I do remember bidding
you that last farewell
And when I come unto thy grave
my eyes with tears do swell.
New I am aged and feeble, I can
not labor more
Then my days of labor will soon
all be over.
I am left here alone in this lone-
wcrld to roam,
But again I hope to meet you in
that last eternal home
I am trying to keep God's great
command
And at last I hope to meet . you
in thai promised land.

Writes of Old
or!d Affairs
Plattsmouth Young Man, Student at
University of Prague Tells of
Zccnomic Conditions.
Ted Hadraha of this city, honor
student at the University cf Prague,
Czechoslovakia, has written the Jour
nal a very interesting letter of the
general economic conditions of Eu
rope and especially of Czechoslovaqia,
which is given below:
Prague, C. S. Jl.,
March 1C, 19C4.
To the Editor:
One trait seems to b? deeply en
grained in the civilized individual,
namely, his economic dependence up
on his fellow men. No one need boast
cf being Lc!f-sufficient. It is difficult
to imagine anyone producing every
thing that he consumes, and pro
viding hims-.df with all the services
which lif" necessitates, with the
Fhere power of his own hands. A
Robinson Crusoe comes as clo.e to it
as we can conceive, and a goatsnian
in the Slovakian hills does not mi c
it very much. But take a man like
a Hudson Bay trapper, who is pre
sumably an independent individual.
Evc-n in the isolation of that occupa
tion he relies upon others to furnish
him bacon, flcur and steel traps. In
villages, the exchange of individual
roods and services through the me
dium cf money becomes more notice
able. In cities, where each person
performs a highly specialized task, it
becomes the life-blood of the eco
nomic activity cf "the communal
group. From an economic point of
view, the march of civilization is the
story of the growing interdependence
of the members cf society. The tech
nical development following in the
wake of the introduction of machin
ery would have been for naught with
out the willingness of the individual
in tin to confine his productive efforts
to a single phase of a particular pro
cess, accepting wages for this work,
and. in turn, spending them for the
products of other workers made avail
able in the market through the nor
mal business channels. As the mod
ern age lolls on man is more depend
ent upon man, town is more depend
ent upon town, and nation is more
dependent upon nation.
This national interdependence is
the basis cf all foreign trade. It is
a relationship arising out of the fact
that the people of a nation produce
that which they can produce best and
cheapest, and exchange this mer
chandise, in part, for other goods
from a land possessing a comparative
advantage in the production of tueh
goods. Some nations are more de
pendent upon this import-export ar
rangement than others. In the pres
ent depression, the countries most de
pendent upon it are the ones that
have been suffering most bitterly.
Czechoslovakia numbeis among them.
In 192S and 11)29 fifty percent of
her national production was export
ed. Most of this consisted of glas;,
textiles, leather goods, iron man
ufactures, coal, malt and sugar. The
imports accepted in return were
chiefly raw cotton and wool, grains.
meats and other foodstuffs and silk.
The year 1930 saw tariff walls pop
up like Cass county corn. Every na
tion fortified itself with a protection
ist policy in the hope of shielding her
own producers. The effects of this
widespread policy are not obscure.
Let us refer to Czechoslovakia as an
example. She put a high duty on
wheat to maintain the grain prices
of her own farmers thereby keeping
out cereals from the Argentine. The
Argentine began to build plants for
shoe manufacture, for since she
couldn't sell wheat to buy shoes she
had to make them herself. Hungary
refused to bujr Czech cotton and
woolen goods because her cattlemen
found no market in Prague. Today
Hungary is erecting textile mills.
Much glass found its way to Holland
in pre-depicssion days because Czech
oslovakia steadily demanded butter
and eggs. But not today. Further
specific examples might be enumer
ated. These are sufficient, however,
to .show the cumulative effects of
univerxil tariffs cn the movement of
goods. No one nation i3 to blame
all are guilty of playing this ruinous
game. But the paradox of it all is
that each nation pursued such a

po!icv with the conviction that she
would gain by it. The longer the na
tions of tbe world delay in reopen
ing the channels of international
trade the more difficult will be the
re-cstrblirhing of normal relation-'
ships. This is self-evident, tor the
agricultural nations are building
plans to supply their industrial
needs and industrial regions are en
couraging agricultural production in
that unnatural struggle to e: tablhh
national economic self-sufficiency.
The further these adjustments are
allowed to progress the more serious
become the obstacles to general world
recovery.
Since Czechoslovakia export ha3
been curtailed sixty percent it i3 nat
ural to expect an unemployment fig
ure equal to about one-third of the
total working population. But tbe
proportion of wcrkless is even high
er because of cumulative effects
that is .unemployed men contract
their expenlitures because of a lack
of income, with the result that the
individuals normally serving and
supplying them also become jobless.
The government has alleviated un
employment by formulating a public
! works program. But such outlays
must be financed, in the main, by
: Heating government bonds. With
high interest rates prevailing relief
measures are costly undertakings.
Public borrowing on a siz percent
basis is much more burdensome to
the taxpayer than funds procured on
the maximum basis of three and a
half percent as the U. S. Treasury is
now doing.
The depression has struck the large
Czechoslovak products rather than
the small ones. During the boom
'years the large textile mills v. ere or
jganized solely to supply foreign buy
lers. They thought it useless to bother
with the small local accounts. Con
sequently the local customers auto
matically became buyers of merchan
dise produced in the smaller plant.
Today the big mills are idle the
Czech clientele continuing to patron
ize tho:-e plants that served them so
well while the big brothers were bent
upon export.
Industry in general has made
valiant attempts to reduce costs in
order to further lover prices of
goods in the vain struggle to attract
buyers. But taxes remain high, wages
are inelastic and credit iz. dear. A3
a counteracting step to devaluation
in America and to cheapening of cur
rencies of the majority of nations, the
Ministry of Finance has also de
valued the Czechoslovak monetary
unit by one sixth. This should act
as a catalytic agent to the trade of
this nation for it makes local goods
cheaper in terms of other national
currencies. Judging from the inter
?st displayed by foreigners vi liting
the Prague Sample Fair now being
held, it is not premature to predict
at least a partial trade revival.
