Prairieland Talk—
Prairies of Nebraska Not Breeding Grounds
for Rebels Who Would Crucify Country
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN — At midnight the
summer of 1951 was ushered in
on prairieland with the old famil
iar drip, drip, drip.
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.

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? . ,

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.

»: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.

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

given a ducking in the swimming
hole.

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.
