Doug and Mary took another motor
car ride Sunday, apparently indiffer
ent to what people were likely to say.
:o:
'K.illv liana a Firm Beiiever in
Advertising." a headline says. She
goes in for the unveiled truth, too.
:o:
It's not that some of us are more
rolite than others, but we may "be
able to yawn with our mouths shut.
:o:
A correspondent, otherwise quite
solemn, mentions in connection with
seme of Mr. Farley's appointees "the
administration's peons of praise."
:o:
One of those notices which really
should be tagged "To Whom It May
--Concern": Al Capone has moved his
shoe shop from Atlanta to Alcatraz,
Cal. ; ,
: :o: "
With the Dillingers on the vaude-j
ville stage and Kuey Long in the
senate, what business after all, fel
lows, have we to throw Hitler up to
the Germans?
:o:
A man who offers affidavits to sup
port what he says in a public speeuh,
is either a liar or knows that other
' reople will suspect him of lying.
Probably both.
:o:
Because she admired the statue of
the Winged Victory, the President's
mother wa3 presented a copy by the
French government. Won't she say a
few words of admiration for the war
debt?
:o:
The cool days last week brought a
lot of women out of their basements
and recreation rooms for the first
time in six weeks, and sent them
' scurrying downtown to buy sun
glasses.
:o:
There's... one thing about-the. dryj
reatker thsi summer. Mothers have
not had to worry about their little
dears playing in mud puddles after
they'd got them all cleaned up for
the afternoon.
:o:
Nature probably knows why, but
we never could understand why she
insists on making a man baldheaded.
We contemplate on this more as our
own hair begins to slip, and looking
in the mirror, we are convinced we
are no beauty.
l MM J
Homer nodded, and even Henry
Mencken" wrote the other day that
somebody might "be left buzzing
around helplessly like a fly that has
lost its wings."
:o:
When a statesman shouts that
thousands of school teachers are
teaching sedition in our schools to
day, he has great difficulty in re
membering one of those teachers by
name.
:o:
It must be quite a blow to the.
nennant-bound Detroit Tigers to
realize that school will open in a
week or two, and, of course, School
boy Rowe will have to' get back to
his books.
-:o:
Sinclair Lewis was at a loss for
words when they told him Hitler had
sent his wife, Dorothy Thompson
out of Germany. That raises the epi
sode to the importance of an inter
national incident.
-:o:-
Evidently Los Angeles married
couples no longer frame their mar
riage certificates and hang them on
the wall. The size of the certificates
in that county has been reduced
from 17x14 inches to 5x8. Con
venient for vest pocket or pocket
book. :o: .
At the risk of being included
among the Tories Mr. Farley and
Professor Tugwell inveigh bo heav
ily against, we regard the announce
ment of a vaccine against infantile
paralysis as the best news of the
year, hot even excepting the decision
to buy silver.
:o:
Work has been halted on the shel
ter belt tree-planting project, one of
the very cheapest of the new deal
xperiments, because the money has
run .out. Qne virtuqf. govenynent
experiments is that the bigger the
project the longer it goes before the
money runs out. .
' :o:-
The NRA blue eagle doesn't ap
pear to be a bird of uniform sweet
ness and light. A Chicago bus com
pany, having recently lost its blue
eagle, advertises its fortitude under
the loss, saying the eagle had
brought the company "nothing but
headaches, heartaches, disappoint
ment and disillusionment."
The

Rep
Score another one for the drought.
It curtailed the output of spinach.
:o:-
Often the best way to fool a per
son is to let him believe he's fooling
you.
-:o:
A, horse is a very dependabla ani
mal, says a writer. That is, if you
don't bet on a certain one to win a
race.
:o:
Millard Fillmore was the fisrt
Presdient that ever took a bath iu a
White House bath tub.
:o:
An old-timer is a man who can re
member when about all the abbre
viations he had to know were BVD
and RFD.
:o:
Next to having a doorknob come
off in the hand, the emptiest feeling
is that long-drawn-out squealing of
breakes and no crash.
:o:
Since delegates to the internation
al wheat conference at London have
gone home it is to be supposed there
wasn't enough wheat to confer about.
:o:
The Austrian government gives
mothers a "subsidy" of one dollar
for each child, a sum which many
consider either too much' or not
nearly enough.
-:o:-
David Lawrence tells 113 that the
"new deal creaks." And right then
Sarah Bellum ordered a ringside seat
when creak meets creak in the Rich-berg-Johnson
bout.
:o:
The giant panda of Tibet is des
cribed as having a raccoon's coat and
dark circles under the eyes. That
indicates to Senator Soaper that its
habitat is football trains.
:o:
The German government favors
the princle of permitting a con
demned person to commit suicide
Let's see, isn't that something like
the old Japanese custom of mata
harl? v
:o:
The Louisville Courier-Journal
wonders why the Republicans haven't
blamed the brain, trust .for the
drought. Well, they were about to
do so, when the brain trust jumped
ahead of them and cclakned credit

The Guatemalan consul' at New
Orleans visited a night club in that
city Sunday night, and was severely
beaten by an ex-pugilist on the night

been most touching.

Nearly Two
Million Dollars to
Aid Stale Heedy
Federal Grant for Month Includes
a Liberal Amount for
Stock Fe:d.
Members of the Nebraska emer
gency relief commit te-e have been
called upon to assemble on Fri
day afternoon to allocate to the var
ious counties one of the largest sums
of federal relief fundi allocated to
Nebraska.
The allotments mads by the com
mittee chairman, issued the call for
the meeting after word was received
from Washington that the Nebraska
request for cf federal
funds has been approved "substan
tially a recommended." Of this
amount $600,000 will be available
for direct relief of needy persons.
The notification came from Row
land Hayncs, federal relief adminis
istrator for Nebraska who went to
Washington to concr with federal
relief heads when indication was
given that the requested sum might
be materially reduced.
The sum granted to Nebraska for
September will meet the costs tor
human relief needs, for purchase of
feed for drouth distrecd livestock
and to carry on other relief activ
ities.
Iajrnes had requested the increas
ed sum for September c:i the theory
that purchases of fee ! fr.r distressed
livestock in drouth areas would en
able many farmers to carry their
families thru the winter without
other aid.
Haynes, on leaving for Washing
ton, said he planned to stress the fact
that failure to purchase livestock
feed might mean l-jsa of animals by
many farmers and resultant in
creases in the regular relief cate
loads.
f. n. will cons heue?
President Rooscve'.t, according
grape vine reports, would like
to

if
in
come to Neurasita aacut (Jet. z,
possible, to help Ecnr.tor Norris
hi3 campaign for tiie one houso leg
islature amendment. This date Is bo
lioved to have no connection with
the prposad dedication cf the cap-
otl, which has not isocr. fixed as to
date. If the president comes he may
prefer to be free to mako a political
speech and not be confined to a dedi
catory subject. Senator Norris is ex
pected to arrive Sept. 23 and open
headquarters in the Cornhusker
hotel to begin his one house legis
lature campaign. Former Congress
man Norton may find it convenient
to arrive in Nebraska after Norris
comes to make five addresses for the
Norris amendment, but not on cny
other topic, politics to be shunned.
