Except in a downpour, the sound cf raindrops is too faint to be re corded for use in the movies, and ordinarily rain sounds are made with a machine. :o: A complete library ot literature on tlie potato is the aim of L. T. Den niston, plant specialist of Pennsyl vania State college, whose collection includes a book on the potato pub lished in 1S46. -:o: One of Mr. Farley's recent not ables is a 6-year-old boy who has suffered fifteen arm and leg frac tures. Anyhow, his will not to eat his spinach seems to be strong and free from brittleness. :o: Some people are getting so excited by anything that even suggests the red color of communism that we won't be surprised dfbynextChrist mas they will be demanding Santa Claus be deported as a Russian spy. :o: Jean Harlow declares she and her husband will not follow the usual silly routine of being "good friends" after the divorce. But isn't she afraid this sort of deviation from custom, especially since it is con sidered sensible, will cause talk in Hollywood? :o: Thoughts are the most important things in the world and equal in im portance are measures and means by which humans may learn to produce sound and honest opinions. The whole world's difficulties, squabbles and troubles result from differences in opinions. The average man takes his mind, which is the most import ant thing about him, with complete careless indifference. - :o: Reading further, we observe that the Kentucky old maid knows her subject. She says the proposed "bachelor tax need not be applied to widowers, because they do not ordi narily require any pressure or coer cion to re-enter the matrimonial state, only a little encouragement, in fact only a very little. However, there's not nearly enough widowers to go round, and besides, the widow ers so often pick out such young girls that the 'unappropriated blessings' are not even considered." aiTT" "r- ,v.".vv.0 vi Rolling off a log would be difficult compared to the ease with which con gress spends 10 billion dollars. :o: A new sport in Central Asia is to hunt with golden eagles. There has been a hunt for them in this coun try a long time. :o: Another attractive pose very popu lar among prosecutors this season, is to face the camera with one arm flung about the defendant's neck. :o: Now that the baseball season is on again the new code makes it un lawful to throw anything larger than a 10-cunce beer mug at the umpire. :o: : After reading the golf and crime news one would think at this time cf the yea- that the world is full of pro and con men. :o: Some fellow with a big stock ot lakes on hand wants to trade a lake fcr a couple of farms. This fellow, i whoever he is, should be required to guarantee that the lakes will hold water. :o: The Athenians of old had a law whereby one was forbidden to in quire of strangers whence they came or their business. The aim was to keep men from the vice cf curiosity. :o: In spite of much blowing of breath against the mercury column, sixth grade boys at Bancroft school wero unable yesterday to boost the official room thermometer from S9 degrees to 90, and school was not dismissed. :o: David Lawrence complains that there is enly one way to answer the question in the Literary Digest's new deal poll. Well, perhaps that's a page torn from the new deal in Ger- ; j many and Italy. When they win a poll over there, they win big. :o: "American talk is a puzzle to Jap anese, due to eliding of words and use of slang," says the newspapers in quoting a Japanese visitor in this country. Maybe the puzzlement is mutual, observes Eddihix, who be lieves many Americans encounter some difficulties when they essay to speak the language of Nippon. "It's an HI wind . . . etc., . .

We have that on the word cf J. B. Kincer, the weather sharp of the Department of Agriculture in Washington. This latest notion was iliat there is a cycle which recurs every 23 years, connected somehow with the reappearance of sun-spots, so that in 19S4, for example, the weather would be the same, month by month, as it was in 1911. Mr. Kincer and his as sistants took this idea seriously enough to make 4,272 comparisons of the recorded facts about ' the weather in the past fifty years with what they would have been if the sun-spot theory were correct; and in more than half the cases the weather didn't behave at all like the fore cast. Weather, it seems, like human beings, doesn't operate according to preconceived plans. The Weather Bureau folk are, in fact, beginning to get very skeptical about all the time-honored long range plans for forecasting. The theory of tree rings doesn't work, they say, nor earthquakes, Nile floods, the price of wheat or any of the other familiar things from which one was supposed to be able to tell last fall what the weather will be next July. It seems a pity, for it would be so simple to turn to the almanac and look up the date and be able to predict with positiveness that it would not rain ou the Fourth of Ju!3- this year. That would be a splendid predic tion if it came true. It is our ob servation that it always rains on the Fourth of July, especially if one has planned a picnic. The latest method of our Weather Bureau in Washington and we want to say right here that those folks kno wtheir business and go at their job of foretelling the weather for a day or two ahead about as well as could be expected is to send air planes and ballons up at regular in tervals in a dozen different places to catch the earliest signs of a change in the upper air. They are seldom far wrong up to day after tomor row. But when it comes to week after next, we are afraid we will, havo to continue to rely upon the old-fash ioned goosebonc method. : o : The trouble with books like "An thony Adverse" is that it takes some readers four months to find out they don't like them. It appears that the Pulitzer prize for drama will go to "Men in White" this year, although the judges chose "Mary of Scotland." Fortunately, in that other important event at Chur chill Downs Saturday, the judges have the final say. etc." - - ':'i. - ?:'!i,r"'" . - ALTOGETHER WHOLESOME" Says Senator Borah, perhaps the most powerful and highly respected republican leader now out of cap tivity: "The republican party Is pretty close to the brink and un- less it has an organization free from the influences which brought us to our present plight it will die as the old whig party died, of sheer political coward Ice. There is just one hope for the republican party instead of a new party. That is the young republicans all over the country, who have a new outlook, new spirit and cleaner, higher politi cal ideals. "If they can take charge of the party and divorce it from the economic and financial influ ences which have dominated it recently, then we can have a re publican party." This plea for a new outlook and a new spirit evidently was not heed ed in South Dakota last week. For the Mitchell Evening Republic points to the result of the republican pri maries as a smashing defeat for the progressive element in the party. Sines 190S, that newspaper says, the progressives have bean in control. Last week the conservative element "fcr the first time in more than a generation," was "able to put over a major nomination" in the person of its candidate for governor. On the ether hand, in the demo cratic primaries, Governor Berry, "who has gene along with President ! Roosevelt in so definite and practi cal a way that he is a favorite of the national administration," won four to one over a formidable opposi tion candidate. "The republican party has been delivered over to the conservatives," says the Republic; "the democratic party declares for the liberals. Is this a forerunner of a similar recasting of political divisions in the United States as a whole? Are we to have one party frankly conservative and an other as avowedly liberal?" Such an outcome, concludes the South Dakota paper, "would be alto gether wholesome." And it is right. For then ,as it says, "we shall se cure in our elections a definite man date as to broad policies of govern ment." The two-raityr system functions but pecrly whpn each party is a sort cf half-and-half mixture. Voters are confused and - deceived. They have little or'no' oppamniity to reach an intelligent decision and make it ef fective. . " Because the republican party has for long been dominated by. power ful "economic and financial influ ences" Senator Borah has never been at heme in it, any more than has Senator Norris and millions of other nominal republicans who inherited their party affiliation from their fathers. They ought to get out of it, nominally aa well as actually, either to join th' democratic party or organize the "new party" that Mr. Borah suggests. Similarly there are democrats, wholly cut of sympathy with President Roosevelt and his new deal policies, who belong in an op position party. It would be a good thing ror both parties, and doubly good for the coun try, were the republican party to go frankly and avowedly conservative to oppose the frankly liberal poli cies of the democratic party under President Roosevelt's bold leadership. Then v.e could have honest cam paigns waged over clean-cut differ ences, elections that would have a clear meaning, end representative government that was actually repre sentative. South Dakota ' republicans have pointed the way. World-Herald. :o: WRIGHT IS A CANDIDATE Assistant Attorney General Wright has announced his intention to seek the democratic nomination for attor ney general of Nebraska. His decision was reached, he said, after Attorney General Good, under whom he has served since January, 1933, definitely withdrew from the 1934 campaign. Wright, who came to the attorney general's office from Scottsbluff, was graduated from the University ol Nebraska in 1'j23 and has seJvtd for four year3 aa deputy county attorney for Scottsbluff county and as Scotts bluff city attorney for one term. Since entering the state's legal de partment he has become widely known for his handling of the state investigation on which criminal com plaints against State Land Commis sioner Conklin were based, and for his work as legal advisor to the state highway department in the issuance of water rights grants to the Colura-bus-Genoa and Sutherland power and irrigation district. He assisted with the prosecution of Charles Dotson, who was convicted and sentenced to twenty-five yesrs in prison for participation in the rob bery of the First National bank of York, and in the prosecution of C. C. Carlsen, convicted former presi dent of the Lincoln Trust and Safety Deposit companies. He is the son of former District Judge Fred A. Wright, now an Om aha attorney, and nephew of Cullen N. Wright, of Scottsbluff, well known Nebraskan. :o: TURN THE ARMAMENTS AGAINST CRIME The use of many airplanes where needed in the running down of des perate gangsters will be an import ant forward step in ridding the coun try of such characters as John Dil linger. The attorney general now has secured the promise of the war department that the planes will be available for department of justice men. That kind of procedure against the "big shots" in gangdom should be carried much further, and prob ably will. It is little short of ridi culous that forces of the new law should not be equipped with every crime-fighting instrument the coun try has at hand or can devise. The attorney general has explain ed that if the department of justice men had had an armored car they rould have driven "right up" to the Wisconsin resort where the Dillinger gang were in hiding and from which they escaped, and that, with such protection, there would not have been the loss of life and wounding of officers of the law. He also call ed for 200 more men to wage the contest more vigorously with gang dom. Why should there not be as many armored cars, as many air planes, as many machine guns, as many other powerful weapons and as many men as may be necessary to put the deeperat? criminals down men like Dillinger, FIcyd end Bar row, who remain at large? Why should armament?, of any useful sort be idle while the country is at war with an underworld that threatens its security?

It wan losing hor job in an other show. :o: Mr. Insull, on nls arrival in Am erica, seemed to have ovcconie his camera-shyness.

The burg lar is trifling with his luck, because IndianapoIi3 har. an ordinance against roller skating on sidewalks. : o : Once in awhile v.a hear a man say he won't join the church because there are so many hypocrites in it. And then the same fcllov will jump into politics up to hi3 neck. :o: It is pointed out that the two Kansas City university professors about to be dismissed are very popu lar with the student body, a sugges tion that is perhaps well meant. :o: Accent, in the third race Wednes day at Havre de Grace, paid $77.60 to win. Whatever the jockey's lin guistic ability, you must admit he had the accent in the right place. :o: An admirable method of appearing modest without giving yourself the worst of it is that of Gene Tunney, who gives an interview to Grantland Rice in praise of Jack Dempsey. The only drawback to the method is that you probably have never licked any body as good as Demsey. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT In the County Court of Cass coun ty. Nebraska.
