THE FROM 1—. O'HflM, Neb., Thursday. Sep*- 25, !•<* pRAIRIELAND ... TALK ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—They otmc into the room, were sbawn to the desk of the marriage license clerk and sat dewa Clean, intelligent, the garble and vigor of youth was reflected from his deep gray eyes, re finement and cultnre marked her regal maidenly bearing. Here again had came a young couple who wore responding to the old desire M the race «— mystical, allurmg, enchant ing. As I looked mm outward appearance spoke mm assur ance that here were two young lives fitted for the great adventure, aa adventure Frridescent with tlir color* of the rainbow wove* into joy ous home life or leading to dark shadows gathering out off the tragedy of a brake* home. And as I sal aaA looked on there came oat mi mem ory’s fragrant store a simi lar scene at this same desk in the long ago. the scene when I entered Mrie same room with life’s most pre cious treasure by my side, and we had sat el that desk where now a beautifully mated couole of another generation is seated.

GILLESPIE’S “Home Appliance Headquarters” alone because of that invisible enemy that in the end takes us all by the hand and leads to the grave. And looking in to the still distant shadows gathering at life’s sunset the conscious influence of a beau tiful life lingers with me. No individual is complete of himself. “However much he may conceal it under assumed | cynicism, worldliness, or self seeking. the heart of every young man yearns with a ] great longing for the fulfil rnent of the beautiful dream of a lifelong union with a j mate. “Each heart knows instinc tively that it is only a mate who can give full comprehen sion of all the potential great ness in the soul, and have tender laughter for all the , childlike wonder that lingers so enchantingly even in the white haired.” A venerable gent, bowed 1 under the weight of more than three score years and 10, exercising his toothless jaws 1 on a wad of tobacco and dark i saliva dribbling over an un shaven chin, invited me into his rock garden the other day. It is a bit surprising what some fellows adopt as a hobby. I know nothing about rock strata and may be care less. But here was a Nebraska patriot who r'*nds the rocks as I do the Bible. He was at one time chief of police down at Nebraska City and came in contact with many men who found their way to the penitentiary. Through the help of these men he has a collection of rocks from every state in the Union, showing me with a touch of pride a small round boulder from the George Washington estate at Mt. Ver non- Much of his collection is of flat rocks laid out in walks and gathered in Ne braska. Embedded in these are small shells, indicating, my friend said, that Nebraska was once an ocean bed. EMMET HAY CO. Guy Cole Emmet, Neb. Labor unions had their first showdown at the polls in an ! industrial district of Pennsyl vania and the result was a : ciushing blow to union bosses, ; whose candidate was snowed ' under by republican votes to fill a vacancy in congress. Whether it was the popularity of the republican candidate | or resentment of interference 1 on the part of labor bosses, those gents received a definite setback. Nobody is against labor as such, heaven knows we have all done enough of it, and the worker in any line is entitled to — and is getting — fair compensation for services rendered. A rad ical element has brought the whole union movement into public disfavor. • * • Governor Peterson has taken young men into his councils and placed upon their shoulders responsibili ties of state. This is a young man's world. While a few superanualed and defeated office seekers make envious thrusts at the governor and biased union leaders spew a bit of venom, the executive branch of state government is functioning satisfactorily to most citizens • ♦ • , The housing situation gets no better fast. Five hundred young couples are looking for homes in Lincoln. State insti tutions are overcrowded with jails being used to care for mentally crippled citizens. It is said the mental hospitals of the nation are 17 percent overloaded above capacity with Arizona leading the states, its institutions caring for more than 58 percent above what can be properly housed. Whether “clothed and in his right mind’’ or “naked and cutting himself among the tombs,” a place to set up a stove and bed seems to be the Yankee’s greatest problem. • * * The .people of Berlin are said to be tired, forlorn and shd. Streets of great Amer ican cities are thronged with those whose brows are wrink led and whose faces are drawn and dodging in and out among the mobs a gent from prairie land may feel he has no busi ness there. • • • With the multitudes crowd ing the colleges and universi ties in quest of a Ph. D., we should have a highly enlight ened nation and maybe the great opportunities lie ahead for the fellow who can work with his two fists. • • • Last half of September and 95 in the shade. The celestial furnace pours a steady flame on the sweltering land and dry winds are bringing the green fields of late planted corn to maturity ahead of frost. • * • Because thou hast made the Lord . even the Most High thy habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.—Ps. 91:9-10. $ Qimfiiii {AtCUJUU Apcafi4 ^0% ihuof^-r.. that's \vliy mote jx'OjJe ask forthan ever before BE CHOOSEY ... ‘WITCH TO STORZ ■TORS’.
