Prairieland Talk ? - (Continued from page 2.) According to word that comes from the statehouse, Ne braskans have material posses sions with an assessed valua tion of $2,712,505,446. An in crease of a little more than 2 percent over last year has been noted. Whether this increase is in goods and chattels acquired or a boost in the value of the old stuff is not determined. • • • “Sweeping aside ancient ac cumulations of notions, nos trums and nonsense, scientists have established new solid 4 facts about this elusive sub ject.” Such is the introduction to a learned and labored pro duction in print about sleep and how to get more of it. The author discourses in terms of the ologists about insomnia, a manufactured term that means nothing. You either sleep be cause you are sleepy or don't sleep because you are not sleepv. To borrow' an expres sion of the late Josh Billings, some of our so-called scientists know too much that isn’t so m * * In the year 1892 B. C. a slave woman with her 12-vear • old son was given a loaf of bread and a bottle of water and expeled from the tent of her mistress to be set adrift in the Arabian desert. With a bottle of water and loaf of bread to begin with there has sprung a people in fruition of a promise, “I will make of him a nation ” So from the courage and forti tude of a bond woman and her son have sprung the hooded hordes on horseback that gal lop out of the desert to protect their birthright, while their ladies remain in seclusion in the harems unmolested. What ever may be said of the Arab, crime against their women is unkown. • • • I see Montana Jack Sullivan is somewhat disturbed over the ' day’s fad of the female of the species being clad in overalls. I have a granddaughter ZVz years of age we think looks “cute” in them; but her maw stays by the slacks. Some of the bolder ones of the fair ones have comae out in panties a few inches in length, but these are not rec ommended only for those with shapely leg, While the ladies have taken over the belted type of overalls the gents as yet have the bib variety to them selves But when it comes to styles for the women we mere men join with Jack in 6aying, Go to it, girls. 50 ATTEND GRUTSCH FAMILY GATHERING The James McNulty home was the scene of a family re union on Sunday, July 30, when about 50 members of tne Grutsch family held a picnic dinner.
