O’NEILL HIGH BAND IS RATED SUPERIOR IN DISTRICT MEET (Continued from page 1.) peted in the girls’ high voice divis ion, with Tierney’s “Alice Blue Gown” and Lehman's “Fairies at the Bottom of Our Garden.” Miss Miller characterized her perform ance as good. The same rating was awarded by Professor Bennett to Charles Yarnell, h Sophomore, competing in the Boys' Low Voice division. His number was the al ways loved “Sylvia" of Speaks. According to contest regulations, all contestants who ranked in the Superior and Excellent groups at the Albion contest are eligible to compete in the state contest to be held at Hastings April 30 and May 1. It is predicted that between 2600 and 3,000 students will com pete in this state contest. O’Neill High may well be proud of the students who won for her the right to represent her there at that time. ASH GROVE PROJECT CLliB The "lamb triumphs over the lion.” Result; On this last day of March we arrive unruffled for our project lesson at a house spelled HOME. Dinner was the first consideration and our motto might well be, “We Live to Eat.” The meeting was cnlled to order by the president. Illness and “spring migration" have decreased our roll call. By appointment Mrs. C. V. Cole takes the office of sec retary-treasurer, made vacant by Mrs. Jack Cleveland’s change of residence. Our business completed we enjoy ed a short interval of games, after which our diligent leaders, Mrs. Hendrick and Miss Wertz, demon strated the lesson. We spent a good deal of time taking the “work" out of working hours. With a clatter of tack hammers and ton gues we finished the lesson and bade good bye to our smiling hostess, Mrs. George Rector. GRATTAN PROJECT CLUB The Grattan Project Club met et the home of Mrs, Julia B.urett on March 30. Nine membe’ i were present and two visitors, Mrs. Rose Ryan and Mrs, ,1V, Y Baker, of Tbermopolis, Wyo. A delicious dinner was served at noon. The lesson “Shortening the Work Hours" was givpn by the leaders. Hie next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. George Weingartner. Third District Youth Selected for Annapolis Nominations to fill a single va cancy at the United States Naval Academy accredited to the Third congressional district of Nebraska have been sent to the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy De partment. as follows; Principal, Thomas Malone, Mad ison; First Alternate, Dale Malison, Clarks; Second Alternate, Ray mond Rabeler, Leigh, and Third Alternate, Robert B. Short, Nor folk, Nebr. These nominations have resulted from a competition which was con ducted under the auspices of the Civil Service commission, Dec. 12, 1936. Several weeks prior to that time, Congressman Stefan had pub licly announced the existence of a vacancy at the Naval academy thru out the district and had invited the filing of applications by interested young men. rorty-sjx young men, all legal residents of the district, took the' examination in the full understand ing that the nominations would be based solely upon the results of the examination. In other words, that the nominations would go to the men earning the highest grades. The nominations that have now been made have gone to the four men that earned the highest grades in the competition in the precise order of their relative standing. A newspaper editor is something like a preacher. He can go along doing pretty well for months and nobody pays any attention to him. But if he makes one mistake—then he gets plenty of criticism. “Spending" is W ashington Slogan Letters from home indicate that some of these young men and wo men drawing $1,200 to $1,600 a year ought to save a little money or send a little money home to the folks who are down and out and need relief. But these young peo ple say that under the Washington racket where every merchant makes it “easy” for them to “buy” and to “charge" and where every thing is so high in price a great majority of these young people are broke and many have to borrow a few dollars “until pay day” from their fellow workers. The govern ment pays twice a month. Payday is sure, here. Most of the money goes to the Washington hotels, rooming houses, hoarding houses and to the merchants. “Spending” is the Washington slogan. Debt Burden Foundation for Inflation The House, without a record vote passed the $121,177,000, appropria tion bill for the Justice, Commerce and Labor departments. There was not an audible vote against the bill. Some old time members say the amount was “too small to make a fuss over.” Members, however, are beginning to discuss finances and debts and members of both parties are starting to make speeches on the debt and money question. The government's debt burden is grow ing by leaps and bounds. Talks on “economy in government” expendi tures are scheduled for next week by some leaders on both sides. Members gather into small groups occasionally these days and discuss the stock market and the bond market. Some attention is given to the fact that government bonds show some decrease these days. That brings up talk that more in flation is coming. There is also talk that deflation is due. None of the so-called “money” experts agree but most of the liberals in the House tell each other that inflation is on the horizon and that about the best thing in the world to own is a farm or a house and lot or actual property. Easter in Washington The House adjourned over the week-end becnuse there wasn’t any thing for members to do. The weather here is beautiful. Jonquils and other flowers are in bloom. Many members who live near Washington went home for Good Friday and Easter church services. A lot of people were at Arlington cemetery for the sunrise services which many officials and members of the White House family attend ed. The churches were practically out of available seats for Easter services as usual. The annual egg rolling contest on the White House lawn was arranged for. Washing ton makes a great display of Easter festivities and about the same things are done here as at home except on a larger scale and by people who have a lot more money with which to put on these displays. The Easter parade of clothing is one of the high lights in these pro grams and for weeks the stores were jammed with men and women buying Easter finery. The civic centers here and some of the chari table organizations continue crowd ed with penniless and jobless men getting free coffee and lunch. Tourist Season Opens The warm weather is bringing into town thousands of tourists. Young people in many busses are unloaded at the various places of historic interest and the guides and souvenir salesmen are starting their busy season. The kodaks are in use agt <*. with the arrival of sunshine, and employees are every where taking snapshots. Appropriate .Money for Insert Control Before adjourning for the week, the House favorably accepted the House and Senate conference re port on appropriations for insect control. This carries two million dollars and will give the depart ment authority to use any unex pended balances for this purpose. The grasshopper control commit tees will soon be busy with the county committees. Many letters from county agents have been re ceived making inquiries as to when funds will be available for grass hopper eradication. The bindweed eradication money is in the “nox ious weed” bill which the house has passed. V'eteran Aid War veterans will be pleased to hear that the House yesterday passed and sent to the Senate a bill which will restore the benefits to about 2,000 world war veterans who are sick with paralysis, pare sis, blindness or bedridden, not withsanding the“misconduct” ques tion which has often been raised. In the 1933 economy act, these bene fits had been removed. Members of the veterans committee, especial ly John Rankin, the chairman, feel that this new bill will aid many veterans who have been unjustly treated. Rankin, who comes from Mississippi, is one of the staunch est friends the veterans have in the house. He plans to introduce an other bill if the present one does not take care of many veterans who have suffered as a result of the 1935 Act. The House unan imously joined Rankin in his pre sent fight to help these sick World War veterans. _ THE NEBRASKA SCENE By the Lowell Service “Your office would be a non existent one, and you would be un able to take and hold the office. You would be an officer without an office, and you could not draw salary from the state.” This is part of an opinion rendered by the attorney general’s office at the request of Leo Swanson, then land commis sioner, on Sept. 6, 1935, and just released by Attorney General Rich ard Hunter. The opinion was writ ten by former Attorney General William Wright after Swanson had asked, before election, what his status would be in case his office were abolished at the election. As the result of critisims of the state department of agriculture by Kenneth Wherry of Pawnee City, there may be a legislative invesiga tion. | Attorney General Hunter has in dicated interest in the activities of a coterie of Lincoln lawyers com monly classed by the people of the Capitol City as shysters.

Attorney F. C. Radke of Lincoln, had business before the district court in this city last Tuesday. Some politicians are like cigars. You can’t tell anything about them by the fancy label they are wearing. Nate Crowell was down from Stuart last Tuesday looking after business matters and visiting with friends.

The girl who used to faint at the sight of a mouse now isn’t frighten ed at any less than a stack of dirty dishes. Stylists say that fringe on cloth ing is going to b» used extensively this year. This will make many an editor’s coat aid trouscis ultra fashionable. The old-fashnoned woman who used to boast that she hadn’t been twenty miles away from home in ten years now has a married daugh ter who lives in a trailer. What the New Deal would like to do is to increase the membership of the Supreme Court to fifteen and then provide it with fifteen rubber stamps. It is said there are only ten kings and one queen, with any authority, left in Europe. This isvof course in addition to the eight in a pack of playing cards. Some fellows leave the small town, go to the big city and get rich but very few of them leave the small town, go to the big city and get happy. They used to say that a rolling stone gathered no moss.

The old fashioned man who used to take off his red flannel under wear about the first of May has a daughter who puts on her furs about the same time of irear. Nothing seems to make a man more convinced that the Supreme Court ought to be enlarged than holding down a government job. Why worry and complain about your income tax? Remember you ar^ helping to pay for the New Freedom. No matter how hard he finds it on general principles to satisfy folks the average fellow can easily satisfy himself.
