Attorney J. D. Cronin was in
Amelia Sunday.
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._
