As "Inunguak" Eskimo for dear little woman Ruth Bryan Owen, United States minister to Denmark, played hostess at a real Greenland "dansmik," or Eskimo feast. Chief among the eighty guests, all of whom had had some contact with Greenland and all of which were called for the evening by their Es names, was "Ipatuklivak," non ioou certincates worth one mark ' meaning "mighty bearded god" each and 6 million coal certificates for one hundredweight of coal and 1 Vi mark apiece will be given out by winter relief organizations head ed by Paul Joseph Goebbels, minis ter of propaganda. In two years the nazis have at tained power beyond their fondest dreams. So long as President Von Hindenburg lived the mere existence cf this venerable symbol of German conservatism acted as a brake upon nazi absolution. Since Aug. 2, when the field marshal president died, nothing has stood in the way of the complete realization of nazi aspirations. otherwise Prime Minister Theordore Stauning. The rooms of the minis ter's house had pictures of Greenland or. the walls while at various places were "brixes" on which the Eskimos lie during the long dark winter.

By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. "Peter's Restoration" John 21:11-19. We have aeon Peter in his deepest humiliation. (He was "tripped" by tatan, Lut Judas was "trapped.") He was tempted away irom Christ but beheld the tenderness of Christ in we are. Men must be careful that that Jesus does not find them where He would not go. He was near even though they were unconscious of his nearness, just as He has premised to be with us always (Matt. 28:20). The stranger calls for something winning him back. There is hardly, to eat, and receives a negative answer. anything more exquisitely beautiful in the New Testament than the teu !cniKs of Christ toward his disciples in the event recorded in this lesson. Mark alcne records the special mes sage Jesua sent to Peter on Easter morning. We should like to know v. hat transpired in that private con vcrsation. Where was Peter all day Saturday? He was net at the burial all day Saturday is a time of total oblivion. Peter's faith having been most thaken needs most the restoring effect of this announcement. There ij no chronological order followed in recording the event3 of the resurrec tion morning. But the woman knew where to f;nd Peter; in all probabil ity she did not know that Peter had denied tho Lord, if indeed any of the disciples knew it at the time. At the news cf the resurrection of Jesus he asserts his boldness and in itiative again. He may have Leen with John and the mother of Jesus! At once, he is ready to visit the sep ulchre, taking John with him. It is a race, who should get there first; youth wins over age. Peter enters the tcmb and made a thorough investi- gaticn, tailing to John. He, too, went in. "lie caw and believed." There two were the first to behold The command to' cast the net to the right side of the ship shows that they had fished from the other side. They obey and a big catch is the result. John is the first to recognize in this unusual procedure something un canny, and he confides to Peter his thought "it is the Lord!" Impetuous Peter is in the water, to swim to the she-re. What a joyous meeting that must have been Net only the big catch 153 but they have their Lord with them; their cup was run ning over. Jesus is the host the meal is al ready prepared he knows we have need cf these things. But the great moment is approaching! Jesus breaks the bread like on former occasions. What a blessed time when Jesu3 feeds cur hungry souls and the thrill of the heavenly powers surges through our being, and we ta3te that the Lord is good ! Now fellows a scene which is hard to describe; it is an experience: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" Why did Jesus single out Peter to question him in this manner? One reason would be that Peter had sinned more grievious iy than the other disciples. Another 130 New Bills Into Hopper Legislative Reference Bureau Stamp ed Drawing- Flood of Pro posed Legislation. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 29. With bill introduction moving at a pace which rolled 91 new measures into the house hopper today, and 39 into the senate files, the flood of proposed legisla tion was promising to exceed the record of two years ago. Tomorrow is the final introductory day in the house and Thursday in the senate. A bill, demanded by Nebraska or ganized labor at its state conven tion last summer, creating a work men's compensation court to replace the present system under the labor commissioner, was introduced. The act would create a special com pensation court of three judges ap pointed by the governor. Encouragement for blending al cohol with gasoline for motor fuel was sought in a bill introduced by Representative J. F. Radcliff (Dem.) of Trenton and 14 others. Would Limit Levies. The measure would establish a tax differential in favor of the blended fuel, and the tax difference would be created over a period of three years during which the alcoholic content of the blend also would be raised. Representative Eugene Perigo (rep.) of Scottsbluff, who is advo cating a broad program of tax re form, including sales tax, homestead exemption and strict intangible tax enforcement, today added another plank to his platform with a pro posed constitutional amendment to limit all levies on real property to 10 mills. "Short Term" Ban Offered. A bill to prevent election of short term United States senators such as was done last November was intro duced by State Senator Charles A. Dafoe (dem.) of Tecumseh. This plan would do away with an "interim senator" holding office and receiving pay for a period of less than two months following his election, although never actually being sworn in as a senator as did R. C. Hunter of Omaha. A bill intended to prevent looting' of bond sinking funds was introduced in the house by Trenmor Cone of Val ley.

Few in number, but moro militant in spirit, house and sonata republicans have made demo cratic majorities keenly aware of their hostility to administration pro posals in the present congress. De- P'te deciminatioa of their numbers in the past two national elections, the republicans are more united in Voth branches than they have been since 1932. Immediately following the November elections there were predictions that the republican party wa3 shattered beyond repair, but tho democrats have virtually abandoned such prophecies. With the exception of a few west ern independents, the republicans arc standing steadfast against ad ministration proposals to grant Pres ident Roosevelt more power. In the first Roosevelt congress many repub licans went along with the adminis tration on the first laws which cen tralized authority in the white house. During the last campaign, however. democratic leaders cited republican votes for administration proposals. As one result, the republicans have decided to combat virtually all proposals they regard as delegating additional power regardless of wheth er the administration declares emer gency conditions exist. A unity ot purpose ha3 been exhibited at con ferences of both house and senate re publicans It has centered thus far on what they term abrogation of How much wheat can be grown on an acre of ground There probably 13 no definite answer because the pos sibilities which lie in plant breeding and intensive cultivation haven't half been tried yet. The average yield of America, tak ing good years and good land with the bad, 13 about 14 bushels. Twen ty bushels is pretty fair and any thing over 30 exceptional. An occa sional GO or 60 is a nine days' won der. From a food supply standpoint there Is nothing to worry over in this. We grow more than we can use any way because we seed so many acres to wheat. In the past few years we have had the devil's own time dis posing of the surplus so that we have been more concerned about retiring some of the land from cultivation, re ducing the size of the crop and get ting the surplus within manageable limits. In Italy the shoe is on the ether foot. Until recently it wasn't pro ducing wheat enough to supply its population. It had to import 50 mil lion bushels. This is a serious pre dicament for a nation like Italy, con tinually shuddering over what it is going to do for food in the case of war. So Italy set about making it self independent of wheat imports and did it. How is told in an article in the Country Home magazine. Since the war Italy has succeeded in growing enough for its domestic requirements, not by increasing acre age but by Increasing the yieuld per acre from 15 to 24 bushels. Plant breeding, heavy seeding, deep plow ing, crop rotation and heavy fertil ization have all contributed to this result. In the course of its efforts Prof. Nazareno Strampelli, agricul tural scientist, has produced a score of high yielding wheat breeds, one of them producing the phenomenal to tal of 131 bushels to th? aero. It i3 obvious from such results that the productive capacity cf land, eith er new land or land which has been cropped for centuries, is still a more or less unsolved secret. We can be gin to see that its potentiality is tre mendous, but how tremendous we can only guess. Strampelli himself is not satisfied that he has anywhere reached the limit cf possibility in big yields.

Pleaded guilty to a similar charge Without attempting to pass upon the merits or otherwise of the bill which has been introduced by Sen ator Wagner of New York and Rep resentative Lewi3 of Maryland, pro viding for a national system cf old- age pensions , we believe that the great majority of Americans are in hearty agreement with the funda mental principles involved. We know cf nobody who is not in favor of some effective system of providing for those whom in old age, are unable to support themselves In decent comfort. We believe that the plan of build ing up, during an individual's work ing life, a fund to which the worker, the employer and perhaps the state are contributors, which will provide an annuity for old age, is the sound est possible way of accomplishing this end. It removes completely any possible stigma of pauperism, which is inevitably attached to gratuitous grants and unearned benefits As to what the amount of such i'c,'"or's snouid be. and whether thu compulsory retirement age should be f f n w, bo or i 0 years, there is diversity of opinion. There is much to be said for the voluntary annuity system proposed for the "self-employed." whereby the farmer, the doctor, the lawyer or any one else is not .ittar-im.i 1 .w .1 ifti j i can place a small part of his cr her income in trust with the government, from year to year, to accumulate un til the retiring age is reached, when an income for life may then be de rived from the accumulated fund We understand such a system h,, w employed in England for more than two hundred years.

Provision is made for joint state and federal relief for those who are practically destitute, but the age at which this relief shall begin may be placed as high as 70 ears.

At any rate, tho w01,.r bill is a start toward a goal at which the nation, sooner or later, must arrive. :o:- full eh,5nl.v rarr,ern oroauce a mln. ur T ?yJl,r inieresi ana ; i . during L wusincss or pro- baf ?9f?0 4nJaccd a profitable Ir i that hcn .WQ wi:i a,i share n irtat prosperity.
