An example of official non
sense is the 4-day deadline for 1
marketing cream. To get top
prices tor cream you must have
it to market within a certain
limit. One who knows what he
talks about informs me the
creamery men laugh about it

customers run over the time
limit as thereby the cream costs
them less. It all goes into one

There is little mother can do
when, with dry eyes and proud
spirit though aching heart, she
has said goodbye to her son,
who has boarded a bus to report
for military service, but to turn
away to seek a quiet place and
cry.
Bui one thing she can do:
it is hers to go to some seclud
ed spot where light spills in
radiant splendor from the set
ting sun and kneel to pray.
The calm of the evening hour
invites to a place of solitude
where the soul finds surcease
of sorrow in communion with
the Infinite. “A thousand shall
fall at thy side and 10 thousand
a, thy right hand, but it shall
not come nigh thee"—a promise
mother now claims as her son is
drawn into the burning hell bf
battle.

The cattle rustler is now a
piker. In the hey day of rustl
ing a man on a horse drove off
a herd. Now they get one or
two, butcher, bury or burn the
hide and take the carcass to a
cold storage locker. Thus, an
other good thing has become the
avenue to perpetuate a nefar
ious business. Thieves, like the
poor, are always with us. Who
steals my purse steals trash,
said the greatest of English
poets. I don’t know that any
modern poet has a cow, but if
so he might say—Who steals my
cow steals a winter’s supply of

Dutcher — a name to run a
chill up your spine if you got
out a generation ago where now
Walt O’Malley finds peaceful
pasturage for his herds. There
is one of that fearsome name

Holt county breed. Jim Dutcher
will be the football coach at
Doane college, one of Nebras

In 1885 a British gentleman
wrote of his impressions of Am
erica. “I know of no country,”
said he, “where there are more
examples of beneficence and
magnificence than in America.
The rich will act nobly out of
their abundance and the poor
will act nobly out of their pen
ury.” So this thing of coming
here for the generous handouts
got an early start.

Finally, brethren, whatsoev
er things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if
there is any virtue, if there be
any praise, think on these
things.—In St. Paul’s letter to
the Philippians.

Here is what they think of
us over there in North Korea,
as exploded by their riled-up

wondering the while if he got it

Most poultrymen agree,
clean land is not a cure-all,
but birds usually do better when
started on clean ground. A clean
range helps keep flocks free from
disease and parasites. The range
should be in permanent pasture

of the ride he enjoys, the swift
ease with which Dynaflow Drive
solves his traffic problems.
What is not so plain from what
you see is that here also is a man
very wise in what today’s dollar
should buy!
f\>r this man has all that a fine
car owner can ask for —brilliant
performance, a ride without
equal for gentle softness, finger
easy handling, abundant room
all around him, styling that is
easily the most distinguished on
the highway.
Yet he paid considerably less
than comparable merit costs
elsewhere.
He found fewer extra charges in
his delivered price, with such
things as Dynaflow Drive, foam
rubber cushions, windshield
washers, electric clock, even
non-glare rear-view mirror in
cluded in the price.
If you know fine cars, it won’t
take fifteen minutes behind a
ROADMASTER wheel to see that
here is one of the finest.
If you have inquired about price*,
a single glance at the delivered
figures establishes this as the big
buy of the field.
Why not make both checks —
especially since your Buick
dealer will be glad to arrange a
trial run in a ROADMASTER any
time you care to call on him?
