His flying tactics have no grace while flopping through the sky; it is a most outlandish pace—the crow’ is far from spry. But still his numbers, far from few, grow gerater every year; each day a larger black-winged crew Is raised to caw and jeer. We wonder why and this we found—it’s mighty queer but true—he has a policy that’s sound and always pulls him through. He is alert to every need confronting thieving crows; to every danger he gives heed—no hunter gets too close. If we would heed as does the crow the pitfalls in our way, we’d have a virtue few folks know to help us every day. —Brick Smith. FRANCIS WELSH RECEIVES COMPENSATION INSURANCE Docket 11, Number 370. O’Neill, Nebraska. Francis Welsh, by Wm. Welsh, next friend vs. R. L. Arbuthnot. Insurance Carrier: General Cas. & Sur. Co. On July 7, 1927, while in the em ploy of defendant as a laborer, plain tiff bumped his right knee on the ce ment floor of the garage while chang ing a wheel on a Chevrolet car. The next day he went to the doctor. On July lfith the doctor sent him to the hospital at Norfolk for an operation on the knee. A petition was filed December 12, 1927, and a hearing was had in O’Neill February 7, 1928. Compensation was allowed for tem porary disability from and including July 15, 1927, to and including Aug ust 14, 1927, at $8.34 each week; to gether with the following medical, hospital and traveling expense and medicinesl Medicines, $4.45; Campbell Clinic, Norfolk $35.00; Lutheran Hospital, Norfolk, $37.25; Dr. J. P. Gilligan, O’Neill, $51.00; traveling expenses to PRACTICAL ACHIEVEMENT. In placing before the people the reasons why the government should continue under the control of the Re publican party, that party wishes to place its claim on the basis of prac tical achievement. If a policy works and produces pros perity, the party believes it is a good one, even if theoretically arguments may seem against it. And if a sus teni does not work, it needs modifica tion. The party points hack to the history of the past fifty years, and asks the people to note that when business de pressions have occurred, they have usually been under the administration of the Democratic party. They flirted with greenbackism, and they went in for free silver, and they tried out free trade. All these policies when put to the test or threatened, failed to show themselves adapted to practical life. The people turned back to the Re publicans, as the party hat was bound to follow good business policies that would promote general welfare. To-day it is hard to say what the Democratic party does stand for, ex cept to oppose many of the things that the Republican party wants to do, and which according to the tests of practical judgment, would remove difficulties in the way of business and industry. The Republican party stands for low taxes and government economy, for putting the government functions under good business management, for giving business freedom to expand so it can keep labor busy and pay good wages. It feels that the wheels of industry turn faster and more regu larly when there is not too much political interference with them. It favors all possible help to'agriculture. It levies a protective tariff so that the home industries will have the best chance to sell their product to the American people. Under those poli cies the country has prospered and it will continue to do so. A DESCENDANT OF THE COMPOSER OF AMERICA’S NATIONAL ANTHEM.
