"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. It provides that allbo'fcds must

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

arc standing steadfast against ad

first Roosevelt congress many repub
licans went along with the adminis

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

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

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

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.
To the hopeful elderly persons who
have been looking forward to immed
iate old-age pension checks from the
f vernment, the bi as Introduced of
fers little solace. 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. This does not bring much
comfort to those in their sixties who
have been led to believe there was a
chance of getting ?200 a month right
now.
At any rate, tho w01,.r
bill is a start toward a goal at which
the nation, sooner or later, must arrive.
