Prairieland Talk (Continued from page 2) Former Governer Dwight Griswold has become a candi date for a place with the uni versity regents . . . The first re ported death from lightning is that of a farmer near Clay Cen ter who received a fatal shock while cultivating corn . . . The vice-president says it is not the business of congress to run down traitors in the service of the government. Whose business is it? . . . Near a little town in northern Colfax county where I first assumed the responsibility of publishing a newspaper a horrifying killing was reported to have occurred the night of Father’s day. The father is be lieved to have beat the brains out of his wife and 3 children in their beds and then ended his own life ... If these gents who are filing for nomination to state office float to victory on the August and November tides Nebraskans may expect the golden age to be ushered in . . . Ernest Adams, custodian of pub lic funds over at Omaha, comes out as a candidate in the Re publican primary for the nom ination for governor, and says he has the real thing in a pro gram for this state. * • • There would be more auto mobile room if the 25-ft. side walks weu reduced in width, those hooting it along the street press close to the build ings anyway. • • • They feel that they are the forgotten ones. But not much can be done to demonstrate that the potato growers out in Scotts Bluff county are part and par cel with the rest of us that makes up the worthy citizen ship of this notable state of Ne- ' braska. The panhandle probably I gets no less consideration in the matter of a dip into state road funds than does North Nebras ka’s great grass lands. Many pa triots up this way, some 50 miles from their trading post, make their navigation possible with a liberal sprinkling of hay in spots and cut around the worst swamp holes. Not infre quently it becomes necessary to launch out across country and take down fences to get to town and back. There is more or less of an independent class of peo- 1 pie in prairieland who take the job of doing for themselves as just a part of life’s program. • • • An Illinois town notified Washington to keep its hand- ' outs. That little town had a chance to grab $300,000 for a new postoffice. The chairman of the village board wrote Senator Lucas there were lots of things needed worse than a postoffice in his town, among them a sense of official econ omy in Washington. There are indications that little by little the handout trail to the citadel of deficit spending may early become grass-grown. • • • Once a delegation from up here invaded the majestic pre cincts of the statehouse down at he capital city to register a protest, not to ask for any “state aid” for roads and bridges. The gentleman functioning as tax commissioner at that time sat with his group huddled in a corner while a room full of cowboys from the sandhills made their protests against the schedule of valuations for tax ation on range cattle. Assessor Gillespie, of Holt county, and several from ad joining counties were there to add their voices to that of the cattlemen. The sentiment was pretty well understood at that meeting that folks up this way will keep their prairie trails negotiable but don’t try a Shylock game on our herds. • • • A gentleman of the cloth representing a church organiza tion put up his sanctuary in a North Nebraska town and ad vertised meetings with intrig uing subjects to begin a certain Sunday evening. The dozen or 15 churches in town that before held no Sunday night services all called their adherents to special meetings on that night. The community should give that newcomer’s effort a hearty boost for starting a citywide re vival in all the churches. • • • They may not be leading the procession down in Mississippi in what we Nebraskans regard as progress, but 2 of their state legislators have come forward with a proposal to outlaw tip ping. This must strike the res ponsive emotions of every citi zen who has to do with func tionaries in public places. If the Mississippians adopt such a measure with severe penalties the idea should take root else where. When you have laid down the cash that in itself is a holdup your are not in much of a mood to hand out tips. # * * A new thing on the labor front is announced from St. Louis, Mo. An employment ag ency will furnish bonded baby sitters to parents who want to have a night out. This new and fascinating occupation may soon be entrenched with the CIO or AFL and demand a kidnaper’s ransom or no sit. • • • Painted warriors formerly crawled upon a victim where the capital city now sprawls. Yesterday a stalwart Indian gent swung along O street with swinging strides, text books and note paper under his arm. & R. H.
