Johnson haul in some hay Wednesday. Johnson is still under the influence of rheumatism and is no good on the end of a fork. Fay Cams, the boy from the home of dependent children, Lincoln, was fourteen years old Thursday and in honor of the day a couple of mothers baked a birthday cake and sent over picnic lunch to the McKathnie school where he attends. "Chic” Gains, from O’Neill, was in this community Tuesday, platting some of the farm owned by the Ne braska Security Company. "Chic,” like his namesake, has made himself popular and welcome with the people, whether it be, Spring, Broiled, or soup. Saturday and Sunday passed off quietly at Johnson's on account^ of their niece, the east schoolma’am visiting with Marie Frickle, at the Prickle home, but no rose without a thorn. She made up for lost time when she and her escort dropped in Monday evening. BRICK BATS. It seems that man is bound to woe in every land and clime; we find it everywhere we go—it's with us all the time. There’s petty troublef every day, might be a worn out tire, or lack of cash the rent to pay, that makes life’s trail a mire.

The world at large has problems, too, conjuring thoughts of war; each day new revolutions brew, though no one knows what for. By such things true as well they may, to such we’re deaf and dumb; our morbid feelings fade away—the reason? Spring has come! It’s time to plant the com and rye, alfalfa, hay and cane; it’s time to cast the feathered fly and talk about the rain. Regardless of men’s grief and woe, it’s Spring, and we must work; we cannot reap if we do not sow—it's Spring, so let’s not shirk. The time and season never halts for men of common clay; they heed not human woes and faults—it’s Spring, so let’s make hay,—Brick Smith.

SIMMONS The oil disclosures continue to oc cupy the front page in Washington. There is a unanimous condemnation of the whole transaction and the in dividuals connected with it, a demand that all the facts be disclosed, that the guilty be brought to judgment and the pernicious influence of great wealth be effectively wiped out. While these investigations are being carried on, the work of Congress con tinues. All but one of the great ap propriation bills have passed the House and several have been ap proved by the President. The House Committee on Agricul ture is still engaged in trying to work out a farm bill. There has been some changes in the bill vetoed by the President. Efforts have been made to remove the objectional features. The bone of contention is the “equal ization fee” and that the Committee has decided shall stay in the bill. It is too early to predict when the bill will be reported; in what form it will finally be or what final action will be taken. The House lust week passed by an almost unanimous vote the naval au thorization bill. The Navy Depart ment asked for seventy-one ships—a staggering amount and a proposal that met with general disapproval in the country. The authorization bill that passed1 the House provided for fifteen ships to be started five a year for the next three years. This is largely a replacement program. Many of the ships now in the naval service arc obsolute, some of them being in commission prior to the Spanish American War. The bill authorizes the Presidnt to stop construction and calls upon the President to seek fur ther limitation of naval armaments. Congrress, likewise, has it in its power to check this program by refusing to appropriate the necessary money to build the ships. The outstanding legislative action of the Senate has been the passage of the resolution authorizing govern ment operation of Muscle Shoals. This resolution was sponsored by Sen ator Norris. Its passage is the result of a ten-year fight he has made to prevent the sale of that great project or its leasing to private interests. The resolution now goes to the House Committee on Military Affairs. The final action of the House cannot be prophesied!. There is an increasing sentiment in the House for govern A NORRIS MAN C. A.

HE IS OUR CHOK E FOR PRESIDENT Since Senator Norris will receive the republican presidential pre ference vote from Nebraska, common honesty dictates that he should be represented in the convention by those who favor his nomination. For delegates to go to the convention and not in good faith work and vote for Norris would be political dishonesty. Norris is entitled to have his cause in the convention presented through the mouths of his friends. Therefore, if elected we will respect the preference vote of our party for president and sincerely and without equivocation work and vote for Norris. -\ The friends of Norris should support this list of candidates. Most of them ure life long boosters of Norris and the things for which he stands. It Is true that a few of them may not. always have been his staunch supporters, hut they are men of honor and Integrity, who have ' promised to work and vote in good faith for Norris in the Convent ion. —C.

Jim Carn was sore at Melvin Jay, the reasons are unknown; the trouble started one spring day when they were both alone. So Jim, as men are wont to do, saw Jay in bitter light; he saw in him no purpose true, no thought or action right. And then one day a chance appeared to tell a sordid tale, and as Jim told a scandal leered that turned his hearers pale. The folks who heard with wild dismay were shocked to say the least, yet stopped their friends upon the way and spread it west and east. The story spread and daily grew to mon strous shape ar.d size; and not a word of it wras true, such is the power of lies. In days that passed the truth arose and silenced scandal’s flame; yet Melvin Jay still feels its blows,*it left him worn and lame. Jim Carn who first made up the tale is known both far and near us just a liar who should in jail end up his punk career.
