Nature has again touched the landscape with a magic wand and there springs forth the plumes and robes of green, the fragrance and beauty of fruit and bloom. The cardinal wings to treetop and sends forth his morning note while robin, bluebird and drowsy dove touch their flutes and the mocking bird prolongs the harmonic measure. Out on the farflung prairie land, where I have recently been for the final closing transactions that terminate my sojourn as a resident of Swan precinct, there are other sounds and sights and scenes of unspoiled beauty that shall ever be a fragrant memory along with the cherished friendships of people of large souls, warm hearts and open handed. hospitality—a people not forever thinking in terms of “what is there in it for me” if they do you a favor. The endless miles of open country, the mating call of wild things when pink dawn blooms out of the gloom of night and peaceful days come to a close in the golden flame of a prairie sunset out there where free men and fair wom en walk the sod and sense their privileges and responsi bilities as representatives of God’s crowning handiwork, where in tune with nature and nature’s Creator you get ac quainted with yourself. A desol %*d home leaves me but one cnoice: to plant the “tab ernacle of my palace” among my kindred. So prairieland and prairie land friends, goodbye for the present. * * • Scab—such is the final re sort of strikers at a certain Lincoln factory. Some of the striking union boys and girls gave it up and went back to work. These have been get ting threatening letters from the picket line, not original messages but quoted para graphs from a one-time popu lar fiction writer, himself of questionable moral principles. He left his lawful and worthy wife for no other reason than the lure of a bewitching siren. The following was sent to some of the union members who returned to their jobs: “After God had finish ed the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, He had some awful stuff left over from which He made a SCAB. A SCAB is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water logged brain, and a back bone made of jelly and glue. Where human be ings have their heart, a SCAB has a tumor of rot ten principles. When a SCAB comes down the street, honest men turn their backs, the angels in heaven weep tears of sor row and anguish, and the devil shuts the gates of hell for fear the SCAB would enter it. Judas Is cariot was a gentleman compared to the SCAB, for after betraying his cause and his fellows, he had enough character to hang himself. A SCAB HASN’T.” “Scab” has been painted on the sidewalks in front of some homes, giving the police addi tional worries. One of the workers at the factory who is not a member of the union re marked 10 days after the pick et line formed they could call him a scab if they desired to do so, but they could not give him the $116 he had earned during the 10 days. * * If life’s unproductive period catches a Nebraskan financial ly stranded he will find cold consideration before the gents making up Nebraska’s present unicameral. Our poor old state is so hard up that now comes the legislature with a state lien on the cabin that fa ther and mother, who may be on the assistance rolls, can still call their own. * * * In simple, natural charm the maiden sings “praises with understanding.” When a voice instructor gets through with her there is neither under standing nor natural charm.

Beer Retailers " Approve Self-Regulation The beer retailers of Nebraska, generally, are sincere advocates of Self-Regulation in the beer industry’. The law-abiding beer dealers welcome suggestions from this office for improving conditions in their places. And they co operate gladly and promptly. As good business men and re- * spected citizens, they wish to conduct their places in a clean, wholesome and law-abiding manner. When one fails to cooperate, this Committee promptly pre sents the facts to legal author ities. The number is small. You can help keep beer retail ing on a high plane by confin ing your patronage to reputable dealers. A word of commen dation to those who run excep tionally clean and orderly places encourages them to do still better. * NEBRASKA COMMITTEE United States Brewers Foundation Charles E.
