CURRENT COMMENT
FROM WASHINGTON
o —. . o
A protest against the speed and
pressure of modern life, was stated
recently in words that were new and
few, by a public speaker who said
that man had become the slave of his
own inventions.
Queen Helen, of Rumania fails to
join King Carol in viewing a parade
and the circumstance has been made
ground for comment. Carol has been
the leader of so many spectacular
parades that Helen probably thought
that nothing could surpass the home
made Hrtiele.
The latest achievement in aerial
navigation is reported from Berlin.
An American, flying to that city
from London, arrived a few minutes
aheal uf the cablegram announcing
his departure from the English cap
ital. The telegraph company should
have arranged to have him carry the
message.
A marine court decides that a man
is not to be considered unfit to be
master of a vessel simply because he
has weathered the storms of three
score years and ten. The decision is j
sensible, and a well-directed blow at
industrialists who terminate the use
fulness of their servants at an arbi
trarily fixed age limit. The facts of
the particular case should govern.
Cato was wise at 80, and Benedict
Arnold foolish in the prime of his
years.
A list of the names of approxim
ately 200 students, selected on ac
count of high scholastic attainments,
contains about fifty that point un
mistakably to foreign birth of for
eign extraction. The proportion is
large enough to attract notice. It
shows that the advantages of the
country are open to all, as they
should be. No one would deny to the
foreign-b o r n, whatever enlighten
ment may have to offer, but the fig
ures indicute that pleasure, indiffer
ence, or wealth, has closed to the
knock of Opportunity, the ears of
pupils whose ancestors have an an
cient heritage in the land.
A prominent Englishman, station
ed in this country, calls for a closer
touch between the common people of
the several nations of the world, as
the best means for averting war.
The suggestion is old, but none the
less potent on that account. Every
one hesitates to pick a personal quar
rel with a “good neighbor,’’ and it is
not seen why the general idea involv
ed could not be extended to larger af
fairs. Speaking of the common folk
and their part in international con
flicts, how many countries would
have been involved in the so-called
World War if the declaration of war I
had depended upon a referendum ■
vote ?
A state medical society has declar- j
ed in favor of painless death for im-1
beciles and the ineurrably ill. The I
movement is ago-old, and makes its j
presence known every so often, but I
with no sign of increased approha-1
tion. As a matter of public gain, it1
is. better that the sick should suffer, j
than that the well should acquire the 1
calculating hardness that would sane-1

head with a club; and, in principle,
there is ro fundamental dnfference i
between clubs and chloroform.
The old adage about gilding the j
lily has been dug up by royal Japan-.
ese visitors who were disappointed
at the attempt to illuminate Niagara
Falls with colored lights. The re
marks of our callers are a just com

Lights, which have shown since crea

NOTED DETECTIVE
WORKS IN BEHALF
OF MEN AND BIRDS
Lloyd W. Longnecker, field secre
tary of the Nebraska Prison Welfare
Society was in O’Neill over the week
end ih the interest of the rehabilita
tion of released convicts. The Prison
Welfare Society is a charitable or
ganization composed of ministers,
lawyers and other public spirited per
sons who take a serious interest in
the redemption of wayward men and
women.
Mr. Longnecker finds it very diffi
cult in these times to find jobs for
men who have been in the peniten
tiary. He is familiarly acquainted
with the courts and officers of penal
institutions, and this acquaintance
gives him an opportunity to get a
line on men who are paroled from
these institutions to be given a
chance to prove themselves worthy
of freedom and public trust. His ex
perience as a detective, in which he
had brought some noted criminals to
justice, including the perpetrator of
the ghastly ax murders in Villisca,
Iowa, some years ago, qualifies him
to judge of the merits of a man who,
for one reason or another, has run
afoul of the luw.
As a sideline to his welfare activ
ities, Mr. Longnecker has a hobby
for world game preservation. Ac
cording to many newspaper clippings
and letters of introduction he has
been successful in using his political
influence to obtain state support for
his projects. Last year he was in
strumental in having Niobrara is
land, a mile or two west of Niobrara
taken over as a state park and game
refuge. He found there a fast dim
inishing remnant of the state’s or
iginal wild life, including two wild
turkey toms which roamed the soli
tude of the island, watting for old
age to remove forever the last of
their race in the region. He circulat
ed petitions to have the state replen
ish this stock from birds brought
from West Virginia, and now a con
siderable flock or wild turkeys live
protected on the island refuge, to in
crease a n d eventually spread
throughout the neighboring country.

McCORMICK-DEERING
SERVICE —' Always Ready
When You Need It
OUR community is served by a well
established McCormick-Deering denier,
as is practically every farming commun
ity in the land. His stoeks and service are
backed up by this large, permanently estab
lished International Harvester branch house
right here in your own section. In McCor
mick-Deering dealers’ stores the repair bins
are well stocked with genuine IHC repair
parts. Thousands of these dealers maintain
completely equipped service stations, offering
factorv-standard service on all International
*
Harvester equipment. Additional service sta
tions are being established as rapidly as they
are justified by business in the community.
As a direct result, McCormick - Deering
service is better Unlay than it was last year or
10 years ago; our resources and reputation
are your guarantee that it w ill be still better
when the tractor or any other machine you
buy today is 10 years old.
It is our business to protect you in this
way, and we take our obligation seriously. It
is your business to buy where you get the
greatest value; not just the day you sign the
order, but through every day and every year
you rely on your purchase for cost-reducing
work in your fields.
The lack of a small $1 repair part can
easily cost you $10 or $100 iu lost labor or
delayed work, for time flies in the producing
season and Nature waits on no man. Your
men cost you money when they are idle, the
same as when they are working. When you
need service on a farm tractor or any other
machine you need it quick. International
Harvester knows this out of 100 years of ex
perience with farm operating equipment and
maintains complete service to hack up every
tractor and machine bearing the McCormick
Deering or International name.
t Keep tills superior service in mind when
you select new power or equipment with
which to reduce your crop production costs.
Compare McCormick-Deering tractors and
machines with any or ail others—weighing
one feature against another and one quality
against another—then you w ill he doubly glad
to buy your equipment where you can get the
absolute assurance of good, quick, convenient
service which is offered you by this interna
tional Harvester branch and the McCormick
Deering dealer serving your community.
Fannall Savings Investment Plan:
Ask the McCormick-Deering dealer for details of
this new plan under which you or any other respon
sible farmer can purchase a Farmall and Far mall
equipment now and meet the first payment tins fall
with just a part of the savings made possible by the
new equipment in the production of your corn
crop, with two years in which to pay the balance.
