Catchy phrases are very unreliable. One of the first things the one house legislature should do for Nebraska is to do away with hold ■ ing two elections the same year and give us back the convention. If the national nominations are left to conventions, why not state and local? The returns in Swan show a cost to the county of over a dollar a vote.

Having more of the cuttings than he could make use of a nice bunch was sent out this way to be inserted in the moist earth. The only game in the southwest which did not suffer severely was the few white tail deer that have their hangout at a far distant sec tion of Swan.

CONGRESS—AS SEEN BY A NEBRASKAN official body that the project would destroy Florida’s fresh water sup ply and would never be a paying proposition. For this project the first allocation of five million dol lars was made with the explanation that it was relief money as well as canal money. This was also true of a later allocation of two million dollars. Six thousand men are at work on the canal and there is sufficient money left to last until July, but operations will be hamp ered then if some guarantee of additional funds is not forthcom ing. If no more funds are granted, the now busy and impressive Camp Roosevelt canal headquart ers will become a deserted village and a monument to waste and ex travagence. Just what was the total of rental and benefit payments under the old AAA? This is the question being asked in the congressional office. John B. Payne, comptroller in the AAA department of the depart ment of agriculture answers these questions officially. And here is the result of his official report: Rental and Benefit Payments.

We paid Denmark twenty million dollars for those Islands. Since that time it cost the tax payers of the United States twelve million dollars for adminsitrative expenses there. There are twenty-five thousand people living on those islands—mostly Africans. They can raise only about $140,000 a year in taxes, so Uncle Sam puts in about $375,000 or more every year to help them live. Besides that Uncle Sam put in a million and a half emergency money last year— IT PAYS toafup LIVE STOCK BY RAIL “North Western*’offers shippers many advantages in getting live stock to market—economy too.

Only ten per cent of the land there can be cultivated. There is six teen per cent illiteracy and the rep resentatives of the natives came to Washington the other day asking for some changes in their organic laws. They think they have enough education to spend their own money. The governor of the is lands, whose name is Lawrence Cramer also came to Washington, asking for a change in the organic laws—a change suggested by the interior department, which really runs the islands. But the repre sentatives of the people don’t like all of the proposed changes sugges ted by the interior department, so they have their own suggestions. Both factions appeared before the house committee on insular affairs yesterday, arguing for their indi vidual proposals and a lot of inter esting things developed in the hear ing about which the general public never hears, and about which little is said. Because the islands are so ex pensive to the American taxpayers; because the people there raise only $140,000 in taxes against the mil lion and a half Uncle Sam puts up every year, some members of the committee appear to favor the in terior department bill, which will give a better check on how Uncle Sam’s money is spent, and at the same time give the natives more .freedom and more suffrage.

YOUR PATRONAGE WILL BE APPRECIATED - FOR ECONOMY • V * v > V f “The Ford V*8 uses less fuel and . . , . *(♦ ,* oil for the power it gives than any other car we have ever made AND ITS UP KEEP COST IS THE LOWEST” Enthusiastic sales talk often begins and ends with gasoline mileage. Some salesmen would like you to believe it is the whole story of automobile economy. But drivers ought to know better. For, the fact is, it’s way down the list. The big items of car economy are low first cost, low up-keep cost and low de preciation. Savings here can make a great deal of difference in cost per mile. Gasoline mileage is more of a talking point than an economy factor. Check up and you will find that the difference between 17 and 19 miles a gallon is less than $10 for a whole year’s average driving (8400 miles at 18 cents a gallon). Here are the big items that make the Ford the most economical car: More value for every dollar you pay. Lower cost for repairs and service. Long life. Slow depreciation. Quality means economy and the 1936 Ford V-8 gives you more real quality than any other low-price car. No other car under $1645 has a V-8 engine. No other low-price car has Center-Poise Riding, safe, sure mechanical brakes and Safety Glass all around at no extra cost.
