EDUCATIONAL NOTES
A large group of teachers met
Saturday for the Teachers’ Study
Center Institute. The work is pro
gressing nicely. The first lessons
were discussed, and a few have al
ready handed in their first lesson.
The members of the class are very
• much interested^ in the work. The
I subjects taken up are history of
i Nebraska and geography of Ne
, braska. Since these subjects are
[ being stressed in the schools this
. year, the work will be especially
[ helpful to the teachers. Many
things of interest that has never
been called to our attention, are
being brought out regarding the
• history and geography of Nebras
i ka.
ONE of the causes of failure
in life is that people will not
turn front envy of the suc
cessful to emulation.

county, on or near November 11,
should be observed during this
week.
Economic Highlights
A little over a year and a half
ago, Franklin Roosevelt became the
President of the United States. If,
at that time, you had asked a repre
sentative group of citizens w'hat
the most burning problem of the
hour was, the chances are that
about eight out of ten of them
would have answered, “Unemploy
ment.” There were many other
problems and issues—but the fact
that some 13,000,000 men were un
able to find jobs overshadowed them
all.
Uuring tnat lo montns tne tea
eral government, guided by Mr.
Roosevelt, has spent billions, passed
extraordinary and unprecedented
laws, tried a series of daring ex
periments. Yet today, unemploy
ment is still the most difficult prob
lem the country faces, and very
little progress has been made in
alleviating the plight of the jobless.
Best estimates say that the num
ber now unemployed is slightly bver
10.000. 000. That represents a de
cline of 3,000,000 from the high
touched, in the spring of 1933—
but even so, the problem has been
solved to the extent of only 25 per
cent. And the remaining 75 per
cent looks much more difficult of
solution.
The United States News recently
broke down unemployment figures
to specific industries. According to
its findings, the mining and oil in
dustries are employing 300,000 few
er workers than in normal times.
The railroad industry is employing
670,000 less. Telephone and tele
graph companies show a drop of
160.000. Wholesale and retail dis
tribution industries are down 670,
000. And so it goes, thruout the
entire industrial structure, with the
durable goods industries — steel,
cement, etc.—showing an employ
ment shortage of 1,500,000. One of
the worst phases of the problem,
according to the News, is that even
if business returns to the 1929 lev
el, about 3,000,000 men will still be
out of work, due to technological
advances. In the past new in
dustries have taken up the slack
caused in this manner.
The federal government discover
ing that it could not find jobs for
the unemployed, turned to relief on
a grand scale. Thru the FERA,
the SERA, the CCC and similar
agencies, the government is pro
viding food, lodging, clothing, and
in some cases, work for the unfor
tunate. But this cannot go on for
ever—the expense is gigantic. It
will be recalled that in a recent
speech, the President warned the
country that local agencies must do
their part, that federal relief can
not carry the entire burden, or
even the bulk of it. It is a well
known fact that many states and
cities have dodged doing their
share, have simply “chisled” on the
federal government.
Donal Richberg has said that 20,
000,000 people will be on the relief
rolls during the coming winter.
Some authorities place the estimate
higher than that. The greatest
drain on the country's resources is
imposed by people who, for the
most part, are unable to find pro
ductive work they want. Critjc3
who still talk about the possibility
of our accepting the dole system
are behind the times—the dole, in
principle if not in name, is estab
lished now.
These are the facts of unemploy
ment. When it comes to the the
ories, there are an unlimited num
ber— moat of them impractical,
some of them impossible, *dt ^1
them unproven. It is believed the
President feels that a future atep
must be the 10-hour work wsek.
However, he has said little about it
of late, and has resisted efforts to
! bring it into existence thru legis
lation. He knows that business is
finding the going hard, would pro
bably be unable to meet the addi
tional expense that shorter hours
would cause.
At various times this column has
spoken of projected changes in the
NRA policies. Not until now, how
ever, has there been anything of
first importance to report that
came from high official sources.
The other day Donald Richberg,
NRA’s general counsel, and the
man who is considered closest of
ail officials to the President, made
a speech. He denounced price-fix
ing as being “lopsided guild social
ism,” said we must return to the
old competitive order. That is ex
actly what an army of industrial
ists have been saying for months—
the difference now i3 that Mr. Rich
berg can do something about it. His
speech indicates the future course
of NRA.
With price fixing eliminated, the
NRA would have little to do w'ith
industry save in matters of wages,
hours, working conditions. It would
thus complete its cycle, and return
to the position it held when it was
created,—a protector of labor, an
enemy of the sweat-shop. It would
no longer be an administrator of
routine business matters.
Late reports show a general de
cline in business. Coal and auto
mobile output are down, and whole
sale prices have dropped. Car
loadings changed but little. Steel,
alone of major industries, increased
output.
Rattlesnakes’ Fangs Are
Like Hypodermic Needles
The poisonous fangs of rattle
snakes look very much like harm
less teeth growing one on each side
of the top of the upper jaw, but a
drop or two of the deadly venom
Is usually death to the victim, says
a writer in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The fangs are sharp as needles
and behind them are the little cups
that hold the poison. The whole
arrangement works with the swift
effectiveness of a hypodermic needle.
The fangs puncture the skin of the
victim and the poison cups empty
their deadly liquid.
Their young are horn alive, in
stead of being hatched from eggs,
as the young of most snakes are.
And, instead of being born in spring,
in the north they’re born in the au
tumn, and the poor baby snakes
starve all winter, but the little
banded rattlers live so listlessly
deep down among the rocks that
they don’t seem to need food.
The old tale that you can cut a
snake in two pieces and its tail
won’t stop wiggling until sundown
is a ‘‘fish story.”. But there is one
thing about a rattlesnake which is
almost as remarkable as the yarn
about the living tail—and that is
the indestructible nature of Its
poison fangs.
You can cut out these terrible
weapons, but if you think you’ve
disarmed the old rattler, you’re
mistaken. For he simply pushes
out a new pair of fangs, just as
sharp, just as deadly, as the first.
You can cut off this pair, and there
will come another, for the wily old
snake keeps a long row of fangs in
reserve.
Labor Is Foundation of
All That Is Worth While
Labor is the foundation of all
wealth and there is nothing of any
worth In the world that has not
been made valuable by the labor
of man. Timber in the forests and
ore in the ground represent poten
tial wealth and they only become
actual when the labor Is applied to
prepare them for public consump
tion. Money is merely a convenient
medium by which labor or service
may be easily exchanged for cur
rent needs or may be accumulated
for future use.
The value of service varies ac
cording to the law of supply and
demand, but the measuring stick
must remain constant if there is to
he any uniform standard for meas
uring service or its products. To
have a fluctuating standard of value
measurement would be just as ab
surd as changing the length of the
ordinary yardstick from time to
time so that when one purchased a
yard of cloth it would be all wool a
yard and a half wide today and
only a yard wide tomorrow. No one
would know from day to day how
much cloth to purchase for his gar
ments.

CONCERNING PIGS
Big,Stone Headlight: A farmer
tells us that a “com-hog” checker
called at his farm recently to check
up on his compliance with the con
tract. During the course of his
snooping the fact came out that on
this particular farm the pig crop
had exceeded the allotment by four.
He demanded to know what had
been done with these four extra
pigs. The farmer told him that
when they got to weigh .about 30
pounds each they were killed and
canned for home use. He was in
formed that he had no business to
do this, that he, the “checker” was
supposed to take such surplus pig3
and give them to some one who had
one. In other words, if a farmer
had more pigs than “allowed” by a
beneflcient government he should
keep them carefully, feed them up
until of eatable size and then turn
them over to be given to some fel
low who wouldn't raise a pig for
himself on a bet. There are a lot
of funny things in those “allot
ment" contracts that farmers gen
erally have not found out yet. But
they better get wise. The goblins
will get ’em if they don’t watch out.
