At daybreak this morning Ju piter Pluvius was still shedding Romaine Saunders tears upon the water - soaked earth. The sum mer starts the season’s march on web feet and the gloom thickens a round the coin farmer as he sees another inch of water added to the lister rows, and his grain fields hope 1 e s s 1 y stuck in swamp lands. The bins and cribs long holding in storage the products of other seasons have been waiting for such a time as this. Now comes the day to open them up. But the grain farmer will be left out of the picture. He already has had his. Maybe some of them now will get a few more gray hairs wondering how they will make the payments on the balance still due on the aggrega tion of motorized implements of agriculture. While we are waterlogged, tongues are hanging out for a drop of water down in New Mex ico and Arizona. * * m The treasury department says it costs $10 to process a federal income tax refund check, so sums under $1 will be ignored. . . The country has 320 miles of railway tunnels. . . The Bible, whole or in part, had been printed and cir culated in 1,034 languages at the close of 1950, according to the American Bible society. . . The first Tuesday in April next will be Nebraska’s primary election day, which will be the first day of April, 1952. April fool’s day may be highly appropriate for holding an election. . . That lady from up some where in New Eng land, who holds down a seat in congress and writes for publica tion, has a solution for the “man power shortage” in filling army quotas. She thinks the “most real istic source of manpower is wom anpower.” Now just what does the fair lady mean by that? . , The Monitor, first iron-clad, lies 120 feet under water off Cape Hatteras, N. C.. and Herr Hitler’s $4,000,000 floating palace goes to a scrap heap in New Jersey. 9 $ • Complaint arises that the Mac Arthur senate committee is costing the country thousands of dollars. Those senators have to do something to earn their salaries. Another fathers’ day tributes have gone into the record of de voted sons and daughters. Father may wonder what he has ever done to entitle him to special at tention once each year. If within the scope of his ability he has done all that he could for sons and daughters, not alone in daily toil that the needs of family life are taken care of but also that the fireside had become a place of refuge where the principles of righ living and honored commun ity life were daily inculcated and children came to maturity, them selves experiencing the joy of parenthood, those principles ab sorbed into their young lives through the instruction of father and mother must forever remain cherished memories to guide through life. Dad may not have been a whiz as a businessman but sons and daughters may rever him for having been a success as a husband and father. • • m _ V* *ri^e i* not much given to talking. Why is the function ary at the banka' grated stall known as a teller? One of them fold me today he should be known as a taker — taking in all he could get of our filthy lucre. 7 • • » »:y°.Un,l Tomen interested in the girls state organization have been in town. Their deliberations disclose the girls have a group of national and state government problems to which statesmen may well lend an attentive ear. *nd gives older heads a tip on the attitude of the rising generation on public affairs. The girls are for more and better highways, consolidated school districts in the interests of improvement in the public schools, increase in teachers 'pay checks, tlood con trol, irrigation, outlaw gambling of whatever pretext. Taxation was touched upon by favoring the "ability” theory and rejecting the sales tax. The vote on none of these proposals and several others was by no means unani mous. That Nebraska girls, from Omaha to North Platte, show a lively interest in the affairs of government demonstrates that young womanhood stands for the preservation of our American heritage against the inroads of destructive isms. The FBI has a few of them un der lock and key with this nota tion—name, age, New York City, bom in Russia. Our great city on the Atlantic seashore has become a hangout for about every despic able thing under the sun, flour ishing side-by-side with the good and great. Bom in Russia. Send them to Joey, The kremlin al ways has room for a few more. The FBI is not out in prairieland on their hunt for red rebels who would crucify their country. The orairies of Nebraska do not breed that sort of gentry. Oh yes, we do our share of growling, but that’s mostly at one another, not institutions. And then when it comes to a showdown on a mea sure of public welfare we are pretty soldidly for it. And then, L°°’u “ arr°f?ance shows itself in high places, if incompetence is wrecking things, we are hot on the trail to “turn the rascals out.” I * • • By the close of the first week i in June the weather in southeast Nebraska, in fact much of the corn growing area of the state, had assumed the serious aspect. Too much rain is even more de structive than not enough. Ex cessive rains over much of the territory put a stop to farm op erations just when a letup in downpour had enabled farmers to get at com planting and an other period of heavy rains set in. An all-time record for amount of rainfall has been scored up for the Nebraska com belt. • m m How does a long-suffering wife put up with a guy for 50 years7 We offer a tribute to their loyal ty, and maybe the old man has put up with some things. Any way, in this day of so many brok en homes it is a high pleasure to look upon the snow white heads of those whose devotion and loy alty reflects the melody of the wedding bells after the passing of half a century. And may I es pecially congratulate Charley and Kitty Stout? • • • The Fourth of July shooting and cracking has begun early. Wonder if young America knows what it is all about. An adopted son from a Scandinavian country told me of the thrill he got out of his first Fourth celebration. When asked what the day stood for he said it was observed for the freeing of the Negro slaves. • • • Are we making sissies of our boys? A lady, maybe with the BA degree is teaching school boys to swim. If a woman had undertak en a thing like that when the Old Timer was a kid she probably would have been shoved in and given a ducking in the swimming hole. • • a Cattle on the sandhill ranges go into the summer about ready for the butcher block. Slick, no bones punching the hide and* another 2 months browsing i n verdant grass lands and lollying in the sun chewing the cud should a bout put on the finishing touches.

Miss Marcilene Schroeder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Her man Schroeder, of Ewing, on Sunday, June 17, became the bride of Robert Coover, son or Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Coover, of Neligh. It was an 8 p.m. double ring nuptial rite in the Ewing Methodist church. — O’Neill Photo Co. Heavy Entries for Madison Race Meet Nine days of racing are sche duled for the 1951 meeting at Fairgrounds park at Madison. The dates are July 5 through July 14-Sunday, July 8, excepted. The extension by one day this year is in response to wide spread requests by racing fans from many sections of the state. Racing officials and heads of the various departments are making plans to handle the lar gest attendance in the history of racing at Madison. There will be an abundance of good horses on the grounds when the meeting opens Thurs day, July 5. E. J. Moyer, racing committee manager, announces enrollment far in excess of any previous year. Racing Secretary Ralph Stu bbs, of Aurora 111., on the job in his office at the grounds since June 1, reports practically every stall already taken. He is busy now screening the long list of late applications, many of whom will be forced to stable else where. Crews of workmen are now winding up jobs that will place the plant in excellent condition. Many worthwhile improvements harve been made this year, most important of which is the ere ction of a canopy on the south and west of the grand stand. This will give badly needed protec tion from sun and rain to both visitors and workers. MONEY TO LOAN ON AUTOMOBILES TRUCKS TRACTORS EQUIPMENT FURNITURE Central Finance Corp. C. E. Jones.
