Prairieland Talk —
As Long as Men Have Will to Kill
Wars Will Thunder Across the Earth
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN—The army in Kor
ea opposing the communists, ac
cording to latest figures, includes
150,000 Americans, 100,000 South
Koreans and 25,000 from various
countries identified wi t h the
Unitec^ Nations setup.
Added to the present fighting
'orce the list of killed and
wounded prob
ably no less
than 200 thou
sand American
men have been
through the
burning hell of
battle. Mr. Wil
son’s dream of
world war to
end wars turns
to ashes in the
tragic mockery
that unrolls
Romalne from day to
Saunders day on the
croll of world events.
Wars thunder across the earth
ind industry reaps the reward at
he price of blood and tears, of
lesolated homes and widespread
uin.
How long shall the bugle notes
nuster marching armies into re
volting scenes of carnage to drive
;he plowshare of destruction
:hrough fair lands? Just as long
js men have the will to kill: Just
is long as there are men who
should be killed.
And from out of the tragic
pages of the centuries drum beats
if battle warn that it will be un
til that change comes that shall
never more change.
• * •
Now come the findings of an
“exhaustive survey” purporting
to be what the recent census was
all about here in Nebraska. Ac
cording to the conclusions of one
of the profs at the college of agri
culture, we stand at the head of
the 48 states in some matters, no
tably Nebraskans live longer and
have less worries. The number of
citizens who attain the age of 65
increases year-by-year. Nothing
unusual about that. Nebraska
was settled by youth and they
have grown old with the state. A
little more than a score of years
back across the trail we have
come there were still homestead
filings being made and today
there are isolated tracts of gov
ernment land within the state.
That there is a decline in popu
lation may be an advantage in
view of the trend to enlarge farm
and ranch holdings.
* * •
April. Comes again a day to
linger where stately cotton
woods point a finger at the
blue above them on a sun
drenched afternoon and the
meadow larks trill a tune;
where the river-ripples by you
flow, where the water lilies'
grrow and sunbeams play upon
the sand—where mystic echoes
whisper peace in prairieland!

The Frontier and the Atkinson
Graphic were among the 20 state
papers to be awarded places of
note in journalism circles at the
recent Nebraska Press association
gathering in Lincoln. Mr. Stew
art, of The Frontier, is active in
association affairs and Mr. Kelly,
of the Graphic, is a former pres
ident of the association. The late
D. H. Cronin, for a half-century
connected with the newspaper
interests of Holt county as pub
isher of The Frontier, was long
tctive in association work and at
one time served as association
president. Mr. Stewart has been
reelected to the board of manag
ers.

Nature has a way of closing
the highways about this time of
year so as to keep folks at home
to get acquainted with their fam
ilies.
A recent number of a haughty
magazine devotes a few pages to
Nebraska, or more specifically to
a Nebraskan, Willa Cather, who
as a kid lived at Red Cloud and
at the dawn of the 20th century
took to writing. In the course of
her life span, which terminated
in 1947 to join the long muster
roll of the dead, sne had brought
out a number of tales of pioneer
days, a period when homestead
ers met often at a neighbor’s sod
abode to break the spell of what
moderns speak of as “the loneli
ness of the terrifying new life.”
It was not so "terrifying” as
to exclude the thrill of daily
new adventures and the sense
of lardly ownership as you
looked out across the waving
grass of your domain when
holding down a government
claim.
Sod houses gave way to new
architectural fancies and dormer
windows, ornate porch trimmings
and carved posts which vulgar
eyes of this generation resent as
a thing “tortured by the turning
lathes into something hideous.”
Maybe today we are so over
whelmed with the commonplace
in literature, the vulgar in art,
the cold formality of architecture,
broken and mud-spattered walks
along dreary streets that neither
the purple and gold of sunset,
the stars glowing out of the
night above prairieland nor the
beauty of a carved piece of wood
have an appeal.
* * *
In the year 713 B.C., an He
brew seer had a look at night life
on O street, San Fernando Road
and highways the country over,
so he wrote: “The chariots shall
be with flaming torches in the
day of His preparation; they shall
rage in the streets, they shall
jostle one against another in the
broad ways, they shall run like
the lightnings.”

Helen Kellar has been some
thing of a globe trotter. Now
at 70 she takes off for Africa
and wants to get into the real
thing where she can feel the
throb of native drums and the
hoof-beats of running zebras.

A series of district meetings
are being planned by Miss Nixon,
executive secretary of the Ne
braska Public Library commis
sion beginning in April. May 18
has been set as the date for the
meeting at the O’Neill public li
brary. Wayne, Lexington, Chap
pell, Chadron and Crete are the
'other points where meetings will
be held. According to a report
received at the commission office
in the state house from Mrs. D. R.
Davis, Atkinson folks have gone
all out for book reading, as many
as 150 being taken from the town
j library in one day.

THEOF THE BARLEY...
The individuality of flavor that distinguishes
Old Style Lager starts with the barley... specially
selected by our own experts at the very blush of
top flavor. Barley is the soul of the beer. When
choicest barley malt is skilfully combined with
costly imported and domestic hops... when
brewing is done with unhurried
old-world care... when lagering
(ageing) continues far longer than is
usual in this country ... then, and only
then, can you expect a better beer —
Old Style Lager beer! You’ll love
the smooth, the mild, the mellow
taste of this fine light lager beer.
Ask for Old Style Lager today.
Always the same —always superb.
