The less there is to buy with the more it takes to get the common necessities. - Another week of sweat and work will finish much of the haying in this community. Speaking of church property as a “plant” puts the sacred edifice in a class with the breweries. Years ago the churches held prayer meetings one evening every week. Rain came two or three times a week. Drainage engineers and agricul tural college experts have tinkered with nature until we are in a pretty mess. Some prairie fires have started lately in the hay meadows. A fire was reported at Otts Friday and one at the Higgins place Saturday. Miss Naomi Fryrear has been the main dependance of the house wives of the neighborhood during the hot threshing days, getting up those big meals. Baby Phylis, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Watson, was taken to Norfolk for an operation at a hospital last week, the child’s condition being reported serious. The federal housing program has been more or less a failure and with ten millions still looking for jobs federal projects No. So and So have been altogether inade quate. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Lawson, accompanied by Mr. Lawson’s mother, Mrs. Louise Lawson, of Albion, were guests of Mrs. Fannie Riley Monday. They were in this section with the view to buying hay. The Amelia kitten ball team went over to Green Valley Sunday, returning the crowned heroines of a game with the Green Valley ladies. Score 12 to 18. The Amelia ladies, experienced at the game, graciously claim no honors as this was the first game for the opposing team. Each presidential period a new political faction arises with fantas tic ideas and proclaim how the old parties “have failed.’’ Some how the old parties keep going and retain an unthusiastic following. It will be admitted that some progress has been made since the adoption of woman’s suffrage long ago. Women rarely frequented the same side of a street a saloon was on. Now they line up to the bar with the most confirmed of the topers. At a hundred and fifteen above the heat probably went to some body’s head. A story erfiinates from Columbus down on the dry old Platte of workmen uncovering snow from last winter’s blizzards and engaging in a snowball battle, The wave of public interest in the book, “Old Jules,” having sub sided I have given it some attention. The author displays the three-fold talent of literary ability, historical accuracy and imagination, as well as a glib familiarity with the pro fane and the vulgar. Those of us who knew conditions as they were in north Nebraska in the 80’s and 90’s readily put the finger on dis crepencies, but that need not spoil an interesting story. It is one of those books that have a flash of popularity and. are forgotten. I have seen enough of the limi tations and blunders of the best of men to not “tear the shirt” or whoop it up for any one individual. From the first impressions that Mr. Landon’s speech of acceptance was going to be a failure, my views changed as it became evident that a man of ability was talking. Lan don is no orator or bombastic spellbinder. He talks sense in simple, understandable language. To me, one of the outstanding things of the speech was when he said: “The time has come to pull together. No people can make headway where great numbers are supported in idleness. There is no future on the relief rolls. The law of the world is that man shall eat bread by the sweat of his brow. The whole American people want to work full time at full pay. They want homes and a chance for their children, reasonable security and a chance to live according to American standards.” As this somewhat obscure citizen views it, these ideals will not be attained, under the present bureaucratic government. Confident of Victory in November j Topeka, Kan.—“Win with Landwn and Knox!” is the G. 0. P. battle cry today, and from the appearance of the two Republican nominees, pictured on the steps of the Kansas capitol, it is easy to see that that is just what they intend to do. Gov. Alf M. Landon (left), presidential nominee, and Col. Frank Knox, nominated for vice president, are shown as they exchanged pleasantries and ideas preparatory to beginning their campaign._ nphe ability to make money belongs to all.
