Mrs. Gnrker came home from a call

In begtnnlng her explanation.
“Edward,” she said to her husband,

“What’s the matter, Jane?”
“I’ve just been calling on Mrs.

“Yes."
"Well, I Just lenrned today that

"Why, certainly. I’ve always known
that. What Is there so mortifying
about It?”
“Nothing,” said Mrs. Garker. with n

EPPLEY APPEALS
Insists He Be Given Considera.
tion for Money Invested
In Various Hotel
Properties.
Lincoln, Neb., June (Special).—
Eugene C, Eppley, Sioux City hotel
man, has Hied an appeal with the cir
cuit court from the decision of Judge
Woodrough that he is a trespasser on
the properties of the Nebraska Hotel
Company. Mr. Eppley bought these
properties for $1,000,000 and has paid
over a quarter of the purchase price.
Later the state supreme court said
the receiver who sold them to him
had no legal right to act. Mr. Eppley
has a bid now pending for the pro
perties. In the suit Just appealed he
makes the contention that he is en
titled to be reimbursed for all the
money he paid as purchase price and
taxes, interest ^nd the like, and that
the burden to do equity does not rest
upon him but upon the trustee in
bankruptcy, who insists that before
Eppley can be considered he must
relinquish possession.
LANGUAGE LAW DECISION
WA8 NOT UNEXPECTED
Lincoln, Neb., Juno ^Special).—
The decision of the federal supreme
court overturning both the Siman
and the Reed-Norval language laws
was expected by a number of Ne
braska attorneys. The opinion of
Justice McReynolds follows, in its
essentials, the dissenting opinion tiled
by Justice jetton and Chief Justice
Morrissey of the Nebraska supreme
court, when it holds that in times of
peace no good reasoYi exists for laws
which interfere with the control of
children’s education by their parents
and that it was not shown that any
good reason existed for the exercise
of the police power of the state, which
can be used only when the public
health, safety or morals are
menaced.
The great majority of the German
church schools obeyed the laws with
out any question, but a few of them,
aidied by Bohemians and Polanders,
took the matter up to federal supreme
court. Both laws were pushed through
the Nebraska legislature by the
American Legion, which Insisted on
them as necessary to the complete
Americanization of the growing gen

MOONSHINER QUICKLY
MOVED HIS STILL
Bloomfield, Neb., June (Special).
—At a school picnic held northwest

the news and the teacher and a num
ber of men hurried with them to the
designated spot. But they arrived too

but the remains of his fire being in

scene.
NEW YORK’S “DRY" REPEALER.
THE action of Governor Smitli, of
New York, in signing the bl11
repealing the state prohibition
enforcement act, is a surprise and a
disappointment. Smith, though a
“wet,” was known not to be in sym
pathy with the extremists-who were
clamoring for repeal. His well
founded reputation for good judg
ment and integrity of purpose argued
that he perceived the futility of the
proposed measure. His long hesita
tion before signing testified to the
doubt in which he found himself—a
doubt, which he apparently shared
with Tammany Hall. As an organiz
ation Tammany would not take sides
on tne question.
It seems evident that the governorf
contrary to his better judgment,
bowed to the political expediency of
the moment. The fact is that Smith
was elected on a "wet” platform, de
spite the hedging of his opponent,
former Governor Miller, who refused
to give clearcut fealty to the prohi
bition cause. The "wets” in the state
almost to a man were to be counted
among femilh’s friends. They rant
ed repeal. His refusal would have
estranged them without winning the
friendship of the "drys.” The latter
in all probability would havo merely
ixitted him on the back, while con
signing him with a prayer to political
oblivion.
Enemies or Smith, however, could
not have planned to “kill” Win more
effectively than by such a test.
Heads or tails, Smith lost.
Now that New York has repealed
her state prohibition law, New York
ers will get no more beer, no more
light wines, and no more stronger
liquors than they got while the law
was in force. Governor Smith him
self says as much in his Jengtby ex
planation of his signature. The con
stitutional amendment and the fed
eral law remain, and must be obeyed
In New York as well as in every
other state In the union.
All talk of “nullification” Is the
veriest rot. The question of the nul
lification of a federal law by indi
vidual states was settled in the neg
ative once and for all by the out
come of the Civil war. Thosv New
York “wets” who are said to be urg
ing that the state wholly disregard
the Volstead act so as to force the
federal authorities to bring the state
to account before the supreme court
and thus settle the matter are talk
ing through their hats. State offi
cials who would lend themselves to
Buch a plan would be guilty of trea
son and liable to the extreme penal
ties fixed for that crime.
There is the possibility, though
remote, that through the heartening
of the liquor interests, New York’s
action will lead other states to fol
low suit. If this happens, it will
amount merely to an expression of
sentiment, which must be seri,i
through other channels before be
coming effective. That is, the only
way in vghich “wet” sentiment can
bring back alcoholic beverages to
this country is to repeal the 18th
amendment, a hopeless task.
The New York affair suggests that
altogether too much emphasis has
been laid upon the Importance of
state enforcement acts. As a matter
of fact, such state laws are absolute
ly unnecessary. Many states have
no prohibition laws, yet beverage al
cohol cannot be made, sold or con
sumed within them border... Insist
ence on the passage of state laws
only gives the "wets” an opportunity
to'make a false showing of strength
in certain parts of the country, for
the states must aid in enforcing fed
eral laws whether they have such
laws of their own or not.
Black rust In wheat has been prac
tically beaten In a number of Eu
ropean countries by the eradication
of common barberry, the United
States department of agriculture
asserts. The campaign is on again
in the wheat growing sections of
America, w’ith plans made to com
plete the drivs by the end of 1924.
It could be finished a lot sooner if
every farmer would join in the bat
tle. As the wheat growers are most
vitally interested it is hard to under
stand their reluctance to take an ac
tive part in the campaign.
Most of the great victories could
be won without fight if men were
prepared to win them, for it is true
today as of old that the wicked flee
when no man pursueth. The wicked
become very bold, however, if they
have reason to beliewj that nobo'dy
is going to take the trouble to in
terfere with them.—The Congrega

TIME WASTERS
By John Breck
Spring. In the plowed land yora
can keep a-going. Your work,
stretches out ahead of you, straight,
as a furrow, clear into the fall„
Every kernal of corn you cover is an*
ear you’ll have to husk later on..
But keep out of the orchard. Aa.
orchard in blossom is a different
world, a world where time doesn't,
count. You can stand there, con
tended as a tree and let the min
utes flutter by like breeze-blown pe
tals—or like idle little birds.
In this shadowland between the?
grasses and the lowering clouds of
bloom, work seems a trifling thing.
Work never did all this. It is the?
inexhaustible energy of the earth,,
just naturally effervescing. All it
needs is a few cloudfulls of rain to
wet it into a headier must than
ever was stored inside the husks of
grain, and a warm sun to start I*,
brewing. Every bud is a bubbla.
First tiny flowerets burst down ira
the grass. Soon they shoot higher",
at the end of slender stems. At
last they go surging through the*
treetops in this fragrant foam. It
intoxicates you with every scented?
breath, sings in your ears with*
every leafy whisper.
Doesn’t Bert ever waste his time
like this? Or Ed? No use in ask
ing. If they did they’d never tell..
Men mostly act ashamed of beingr
caught when they’re working. The?
birds are better company. They do?
exactly 'twhat they feel like—feast
and flirt and fight and sing. Not
till the wind skims off the flowery
froth and leaves behind only the?
smooth seas of summer green will*
they settle down. There goes Cock
Sparrow. Isn’t he the fellow who?
was picking up straws before the
lilac twigs wore green and plaguing;
his mate to get to nesting? Ancr
didn’t she tell him what was what?"
Those overambitlous bluebirds, and'
the woodpeckers, too, wrho did start
in, had the decency to do it inside
their holes where nobody could see?
—as if they were propery ashamed'
to be caught at work while they
ought to be idling.
\nd here’s old Mom Robin. She
was pecking mud from the creek
bank this morning, mighty ginger
ly, too, as if she didn’t like the
notion pf dirtying her breast
feathers. Well, she kept at it, you*
notice, for her job’s half done. And'
so’8 the wind’s; he’ll have the last,
blossomy spray swept clean by to
morrow.
Being born curious Cock Sparrow
takes a peek while she’s away. And,.,
being born a thief, he takes a wisp
He tucks it into the crotch of hiss
old pear tree. Off he goes. An®
back he comes, his mate, consider
ably ruffled, with him. They
squabble irritably. Won’t she rest
yet? Eh? What? Oh, that’s what’s;
wrong—he hasn’t nearly enoughr
He’d better wing it for more—the
lazy thing! He does. Watch them
go at It. And watch their tempers
soothe down. They’re happier than
they’ve been through all the spring
long season of their play.
I wonder, now, if earth’s owir
energy would overflow with such*
exuberance of spirit if she hadn’t
a-plenty to do with it.
