Prairieland Talk — Unlimited Resources, Bounty, Lavish Giving No Guarantee for U.S. Future By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN — Nebuchadnezzar, the king, unto all people nations and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied UISo \he Lord of the East, for once in a happy mood, reached out beyond the Euphrates with a decree to an Romaine Saunders a s t o n i shea world. He, whose nod from high on a throne of iv ory and gold in old Baby lon, gave leave to live or pro nounced doom to die, had seen some thing, thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God has wrought toward me.” A short time bebore the mon arch of the first of the four uni versal world empires had caused to be erected on the plain of Dura a great image to which the assembled throngs from prov inces far and near were com manded to bow down and wor HELPFUL HINTS Budget and homemaking news by Bonnie McDonald BUY BABY'S BUNTING «» your nearest J.

Three young Hebrews, whc did not comply with this com mand, were tossed bodily into a ourning fiery furnace. And then, the king beheld a wonderous sight Four animated beings were walking about in that blaz ing Babylonian hell unharmed, and the fourth was “like the Son of God.” Wherever the vis ion of mankind, it has caught the view of that figure, the course of history has been changed and individual lives transformed. "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol the honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment; and those who walk in pride He is able to abase." Pictured annals of Chaldean thrones, the story of Meads and Persians buried under the drifting sand of the centuries. Greek and Roman overlords, the fate of the Napoleons and the Hitlers of all time tell us not to become high-blown with pride lost we in the end are abased. And where today is there a Nebuchadnezzar who, from his throne of ivory and gold, can say to all people, nations and creeds, peace be multiplied un to you! • • • Lincoln is on the route of no tables and some freaks drop in to look us over. A late visitor was a gent who has sealed him self in an automobile and is to do 140 thousand miles, touching each of the 48 states if he is to win a bet of 25-thousand-dollars. An attendant in another car is accompanying him to service the imprisoned gent’s car. The assist ant is to supply him with grub and some human necessities are taken care of with products from the laboratory. The start was made at Ashland, Ore,, and 35 thousand miles had been covered on arrival in Lincoln. The itinerary has advertising value for the makers of the car and prizes are awarded to those who guess the nearest to number of miles traveled at given stops. Accepting a prize when no mon ey transaction is involved does not come under the Nebraska attorney general’s crack-down on gambling. • • • In one of those weekly publi cations printed in all colors of ink, which has a large share in the annual multi-million dollar take from “booze” ads, there is a belabored editorial on the U S. being the hub of the new world. New world indeed! Is it not surrounded by a de crepit, decaying, old and perish ing world? From desolated Eur ope, out of the dry rot of the far East, from islands of the seas, from everywhere the cry comes to us for succor, not from a new world but from a fagged-out old world. Our unlimited resources, our large bounty, our lavish giv ing may hold the shell together for the moment but it is no guarantee for the future. The board of pardons has re duced from five to three years the prison term of a man con victed for manslaughter. It would appear that the sentence of the court was not at all se vere for such a crime. Two men fought. The blow of one caused the death of the other. A slap in the face might have netted the gent a dollar fine but five years as the penalty for a murderous blow seems little enough. • • • So far, the only protest move to suppress gambling, against the attorney general's comes in a howl from the State Federation of Labor. At torney General Anderson did not make the laws but he sets out to see that they are en forced. • • • Tito, the boss of all the Yugos, is pictured aboard a white horse. The old timers that rode the cat tle ranges over here, who see the dictator pictured in one of those pint-size saddles secretly enter tain the wish to send a Nebraska cowboy Qver there to show ’em how it’s done. ——-- - A Texas gent invested his life's gatherings of $350 in the platform upon which Truman and Barkley took the oath of | office. Why a truck load of planks upon which these not ables stood? The old boy from Texas had ideas of his own. He is making souvenirs of sliv : ers from the planks and gath ering something of a monetary harvest from the sale of these. • • • Probably the House of Repre sentatives chaplain got a thrill out of what he read in the Con gressional Record. The Record read that his salary was $3,750, 000. The typographical artist ran in three extras zeros and maybe the proof-reader went to sleep on the job. But the clergyman has been painfully aware that his annual take from a congres sional source is $3,750. Pioneer clergymen in Holt county con sidered themselves lucky if their annual cash receipts amounted to $375. ■ m m The new United States attor ney general in Washington, D. C., has instituted suits under the anti-trust laws against a big food concern with stores strung over the country That is one so-call ed “trust” that is a benefit to the householders, but the big gest trust of them all—the CIO and AFL—the trustbusters steer clear of, maybe because they have a few million votes in the ranks. « • • The choice parking spots are marked with signs.
