They are helped to be a credit to them selves, to the beer industry and to the community. • * * — When conditions in a tavern are found to be unsatisfactory , *■.

Strictly MILK & CREAM Sali SATURDAY, JANUARY 25TH — AT THE — |BUTTE LIVESTOCK MARKET PRAIRIELAND «2U« i X SAUNDERS TALK ATKINSON ... l Route 5 LINCOLN—Is the state par don board a body designed to operate at cross-purposes with the courts? Whether or not that be the purpose it seems to work that way. The instances are very few under Nebraska judicial pro ceedure where sentence for crime is either excessive orTnis placed. When a jury convicts and the presiding judge pro nounces sentence circumstances must be extenuating indeed that will warrant any official body interferring with the one convicted paying the full pen alty imposed. A convict, with something of an air of arro gance, recently walked out of the penitentiary a free man when by full authority of law and judicial findings that per son should have gone to the electric chair. * * * If the lady member of the ex board of control (who is said to have hooked a few trees) got the trees to grow many will feel she has done a distinct service, and if she picked up an egg or fat hen that would be little enough compensation. * * * There are 20 million soldiers, sailors, office holders and mere citizens on Uncle Sam’s pay roll making it necessary to dip into the Federal treasury for 20 billion six hundred million dol lars annually. States, coun ties and cities also have sizeable payrolls. A few patriots have to stay on the job of produc tion. * * • From what the governor has run into, maybe Mr. Peterson would prefer to be back among the neighbors in Elgin. Until further developments, from the straightforward state ment in which the three retir ing members of the board of control concur, Nebraskans may conclude that the dark cloud which began to loom as a sinis ter scandal has faded into a bit of statehouse gossip. Mr. Peterson’s initial punch es are reassuring. He intends to be governor. * • • Over 32 million laws intend ed to regulate human conduct, and law-making bodies are again in action the world over. The bus was moderately crowded. Two matrons stepped aboard and reached for the high rail. There were no va cant seats, but there were two young Negroes sitting together who had the instinct of the gen tleman. In a fine spirit of chiv alry they arose and generously saw that the ladies were seated. Standing, in the full dignity of colored manhood, there was re flected from these young men perhaps the ideals of the insti tution where they are students and a silent rebuke for the in difference so characteristic of busriders to a lady or an aged person trying to hang from the ceiling. I learned these two col ored boys are students in Union college. Another bus scene: A young mother with two little boys, the smallest just out of babyhood. To the several matrons in the immediate vicinity of the lit tle fellow the mother instinct was reflected in smiling atten tion and all felt for the monrent lifted out of life’s rough-and tumble in the present of a sweet child. • * • Teachers, like poets, are bom, not made. The ready made teachers are expensive at any price. Those with the fine rare talent to supervise and in struct in our schools may be inadequately rewarded by the size of their paychecks, but to the teacher, craftsman, or man with the hoe there come re wards which transcend finan cial considerations. Much is said respecting the financial needs of our schools, little or nothing concerning the fundamental need, teaching tal ent, of the kind represented by the readymade type. When a young child, I had one of the former, Miss South, who measured by present scholastic standards, could about make the eighth grade. But she had , a way with children and could teach. In the same ward school was a gent holding the job of principal, Prof. Donelson. One Spring day at recess a group of boys out on the playground, were badgering, annoying and causing suffering for a small boy of a poor family. The prin cipal sat in an open window of an upper story in educated ele gance looking down on the scene. But like Gallio of old Corinth, who looked on as the Greeks beat Sosthenes, he ‘‘cared for none of those things.” * • * Three Holsteins owned by Nebraskans, one at North Platte and two at Gering, are said to have made records of more than 100,000 pounds of milk in a year, equal to some 50,000 quarts. At present retail citv prices the product of one aristocratic bovine turned into $8,500. Just how much butterfat from other I sources had to be added to make real milk of this blue ocean is not given out. • • • Scientists claim to have the means of blasting everything man touches to smitherenes, in cluding himself. The Master Scientist wrote across the rain bow four thousand years ago these words: “While the Earth remaineth, seed time and har vest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter and day and night shall not cease.
