The Times Are Gripes
The Walrus Said.
Balmy days seem to have con
tradictory effects. For some they
spell bliss and serenity, an un
troubled state of being at peace
with the world. But to others
spring time brings forth the re
lease of long: pent up scores
against the world. And so the air
with gripes is laden.
One gorgeous girl, with a tena
cious but unexciting sweetheart,
gets blood in her eye for the de
luded soul who admonished: "If
at first you don't succeed, try, try
again." When a woman says "No"
she doesn't always mean "Yes."
Another pert bit of 'feminity
moaned about the sad fact that it
was spring "and nothing can be
done about it." A "gentleman"
tells us that a really popular girl
knows nothing of osculations. We
hold that the states of being popu
lar and being kissed are not neces
sarily mutually exclusive.
These deep-seated kicks would
perhaps go unvoiced but for the
chemical complications of dear old
printemps. It is a fortunate safety
valve for many to once a year be
in the gripes of spring.
V
The Gentlemen Don't Believe.
When it comes to real ear
laying back language, we reckon
that "The Magazine for Men"
approaches some sort of an
acme. Our efforts, often alleged
to be tottering on the awful
brink of libel, seem fanatically
Puritanical by contrast. Only
"Esquire" would announce what
one-half of man's best friends
are, or describe what happens to
a young woman when she walks,
or advise advertizemently "Don't
be a Strip Shaver." And that
Smart man makes his frankness
pay, and plenty. Nothing is too
"unseemly" for publication, and
the shekels roll in. Filthy lucre
in truth.
Muddy Rivers.
Everyone at some time before he
puis his other foot in his grave
is fond of comparing his life to a
body of water a babbling brook,
a sUH calm lake, a mighty surging
ocean, a be-frogged or froglcss
pond. Eut ours is the plains atti
tude : our stay on earth is like the
flowing of a muddy river.
Rivers are strange things. Over
night they may rise drastically,
engulfing the little trees along the
short, covering lowlands, sweep
ing away manmade accessories
which pretend to overcome it. Yet
its treachery is so quiet, so guile
less that the unsuspecting are
trapped by it. The surface of
muddy rivers is deceptively bland
easy-going, lazy, seemingly aim
less. A stick cast upon the waters
will drift slowly, twisting and
turning at will. Yet that which is
flung into the current and sinks
below the surface may be lost for
ever from sight, drawn to an un
knelled grave by quicksands or un
dertow. Mercilessly, ever so swift
ly, the hapless object disappears,
leaving no trace.
Clear streams are not for us.
For life is not crystalline. It is
opaque, murky, if you please, and
what lies beneath the surface no
one can see or fully divine. Good
old muddy rivers.

Arbor Dav Tradition Boasts
Purely American Ancestry
; Nation Celebrates Today
j In Memory of Great
' Nebraskan.
Tre planting festivals are
probably as old as civilization.
Sacred trees arid grove, planted
avenue and roadside, shaded
academic walk were common in
the Imperial day of Home. But
Arbor Day, as uch. is purely
American in origin, an outgrowth
of conditions peculiar to the Great
Plain of the West and of Ne
braska. Man' well-being arid hajpin'
have alway been ;loHy related to
trc:, and yet this country in II
mad haste for wealth ha ex
ploited it va forest and wooded
area In ooier to bring more crop
acre under cultivation. Thi ha
been especially true in Nebraska.
Timber Losses,
Lonv.-s to native and planted
stand of timber in thi state dur
ing the past seven year are un
precednted. During the firt years
of the oepression vast quantities
of firewood were taken from the
state forest tes'-i-ve. The drouth
period of 1931-39 marked an evn
greater loss to the timbrlands.
But no comparable move has been
made to replace the torses Buffered
during those jvrtoda.
