What weighs heavy on hu man hearts and minds? A pres ent dread or forebodings for the future? Moving on with hurrying feet each "bearing his bur den of sorrow" or imaginary worries reflected cn trouolea faces. And here comes a gent saun tering leisurely across the in tersection with the green light in his favor, hands thrust into pockets of worn work pants, unshaven face registering con tentment. And as he stopped to spit and shift the chew ot tobacco to the other cheek ill registered utter Indifference to the maelstrom of high tension humanity rushing by him. • • • One of the most p pular spots in Lincoln is the State Historical society museum in the capitol. It would be in teresting to know what brings many from far away states here to look us over and leavu their name and address on thu society’s register. A notable feature of the exhibits that have come down from other generations is the sizable col lection of war clubs ranging from arrows and bullets. Scrapping has been the occu pation and delight and often the necessity of all generations. The gatherings of instrument:! of warfare at the society’s ex hibit is about equal to that employed in the pursuits of peace. • 9 • According to good word from official Washington sources, there is now under construction in Nebraska more than 9 million dollars federal road work, with something like 6 million dol lars inclded in a further de veloping highway program. • • • The highways of Nebraska have not alone fallen into ne glect. Highways of every state are in similar condition. With more and more he vy traffic, busses, great trucks loaded with many tons, a 24-lmui stream of speeding vehicles, highways have become a na tional pi ibbm. Yankees have been in the habit of s living problems, but don’t be impa tient. • • • A p li e woman was called into a n ■ ghborhood to investi gate the complaint of one householder against another. The one lodging the complaint raises a fuss with another neighbor over 2 pennies. Who should the police woman take to jail?

Lister, a formei Hartington newspaper man later at St. Edwards and more recently editor of the Wamego, Kans., Times, I give credit foi the following: Around the cirner I have a friend ... in this great ci ty that has no end. . .

But tomorrow comes— and tomorrow goes. . . . and the distance between u s grows and grows. . . Around the corner, yet miles away. . . . "Here's a telegram—Jim died today." . . And that's what we get—and deserve— in the end. . . Around the corner, a vanished friend. . . • • • The new look and the new generation may get a look at the .state militia in action if the striking meat cutters over at Omaha get out of hand of local athorilies. It has been many years since soldiers have been called into action to sub due violence of any sort in Ne braska. The last instance that comes to mind was some 40 years ago at the time of the section homestead opening, when a company of militia was sent to Broken Bow, none too anxious to encounter the bunch of mounted cowpuneh ers on hand there to enter fil ings for the cattle interests. • • • It probably will not come to the knowledge of either the aggregation of those responsi ble for bringing the aristocrat ic group to Lincoln. Two ladiej were nursing their disgust over paying a kidnapper’s ransom for admittance to that 10-acre building on t h e university grounds to see and hear the » -jr. • m - mil ■ MIIII mmUfiBL. •••'iL :.

Af ter paying the toll at the door, the ladies were seated where they could neither see nos , hear and came away with the determination never again to be caught by an outfit that is publicized as artists a little above mortals.
