Field Glass Very Handy In this, or some other county near this one, there lives a farmer and wife who believe in having things handy. They have, of course a tele phone, a radio and a very fine meter car, which, with other things make life on the farm convenient and hap py, or perhaps we should just say convenient. A salesman making the country territory, chanced to pass a school hoi'oe about a Quarter cf a mile from the farm heme aforementioned, when he observed the farmer encaged in a very ernest conversation with the pretty schoolteacher. He noticed how earnestly they were talking and as he passed the farm house a little way3 further on he observed that the farm wife was standing on the porch with a pair of held glasses in her hand and with the same glued to her eyes, looking in the direction of the couple engaged in the interesting tete-a-tete at the school house. That is all of this chapter. Y0UI7G EZ2I0CEAT3 I-IEET From Friday's lai!y The result cf the charter meeting of the Plattsmouth Young D.mo crats held at the court house last night shows that the ictsre-st of the young people of Plattsmouth has been aroused.

Single Con tract May Include Every Crop Farm Administration to Encompass All Easic Commodities JIust Be Brawn Up Soon. Washington. The farm adminis tration has already turned consider able attention a semi-permanent pro grain, but it gave consideration first Friday to plaa3 for a single acreage reduction contract which would en ccmpas all cf an individual farmer's crops listed as basic commodities. When congress tossed into the ad ministration's lap a new list of basic commodities, including beef cattle, barley, rye, flax, peanuts and grain sorghums, it wa apparent handling them under the present system of in dividual contracts for each crop would b? impossible. Later the farm relief program will emerge into a permanent plan ol federal purchase, and withdrawal permanently from production, of thousands of farm acres which will be returned to the public domain as parks, fish and game preserves, for ests, and erosion prevention areas. In the meantime, however, an in termediate system must be set up to carry on present programs for con trolling production and eliminating surpluses. An authoritative administration official declared, in connection with the encompassing single acreage re duction contract proposal: "We can't wait six or eight months to complete such a plan. It must be drawn up within the next few months and be r.ady to propose to farmer for sig nature before the fall planting sea son rolls around." Such a modification of the present program will present many problems of formulation and administration, officials concede. But will mean a simplification cf the work cf every one concerned with application of tiie adjustment act. County Committees Save. The chief saving under the plan v ill be in the time cf county pro duction control committees who supervise the details of contract oign ing and application and the contract signers themelves, administration executives said. The blanket contract will call for but one set of figures cn a farme-r's production, one ccunty committee, and will probably provide for one single- benefit payment, probably to be distributed in two cheeks, one shcrtly after the contract is signed and the K.cond after compliance with its terms is assured. The principle cf compulsion is net heard frequently in discussions of the semi-permanent program Secre tary Wallace and his lieutenants be ing skeptical of the idea. They de clare they will wait until results of the experiment in compulsion con tained in the Imnkh-ad bill to re strict cotton production are appar ent. The probability that the process ing taxes, now used to finance the em ergency programs will continue- for seme time is apparent. It is argued that, until a better idea is suggest cdf; farmers must continue to be- in duced to sign contracts by the re ward cf b-ncfit payments paid out of processing fare receipt.

FLATTCJVIOUTH "D0W1T 01 THE FAZM" In the absence cf Mr. Ely's contri butions to this eolnumn, wo are pub lishing the following this week by request of a reader. It is a poem that was recited on the floor of the House by Congressman Louis Ludlow, front Indiana. P rhaps some of our rural readers will see their ova life re flected in its lines. Down cn the farm, 'bent half past four, I slip on my pants and sneak out the door; Out in the yard I run like the dickens To milk ten cows and feed the chickens. Clean out the barn, cure;.- Xancy and Jiggs, Separate the cream, and slop the pigs; Work two hours, then eat like a Turk, And, by heck, I'm ready for a full day's work. Then I grease the wagon and put on the raek. Throw a jug of water in an old grain sack, Ilkch up the horses, hustle down the lane Must get the hay in, for it looks like rain. Look over yonder! Sure- as I'm born, Cattle on the rampage and cows in tiie corn! Start across the me-ddtr, run a mile- or two. Heaving like I'm wind-broke, gt wet clear through. Get back to the horses, then for recompense. Nancy get a-straddle of the barb- cd-v. ire fence. Joints all a-chiug and muscles in a jerk, I'm fit as a f dale for a full day's work! Work all summer till winter is nigh, T!:en figure up the books and h-.avc- a big sii-h. Worked ail year, didn't make a thing; Get less cash now than I had last spring. Now, some people toil us that tbere ain't no hell; But they never farmed, so, how can they toil? Bi:t when spring rolls 'round I take another eliance. While the fringe grows longer on my old gray pants. Give my s'.-penders a hitch, my belt another jerk. And, by heck, I'm ready for an other year's work!

People have learned that tbe richt dose of a Crapcrly prepared liquid laxative will ring a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathar tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Qddwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the 1 average person's bowels back to regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell's , Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready ; for use. Member N. R.
