patriots are not interested in the
case because the victim is an un
touchable of the press and Ne
braskans think if he has done
something in violation of the
laws of the land under which he
had come to trust he should take
his medicine. If innocent, let s
get him out. The editors are giv
ing us only their side of the pic

Womanly charm begins a t
sweet 16. But there is something
in the smile and frown, curled
crimson lip at sweet 16 that says
hands off! But the irresistible
charm and trusting confidence
of a little girl who comes to your
open arms with a sweet fragrance
transcends the hymeneal lure.
She saw me coming a half block
away, a sweet little child I did
not recall seeing before. She
came running to meet me, held
up her little hands and exclaim
ed, “See what I have!” And what
did she have? A little bird whose
tender pinions were not yet able
to bear it aloft.
She exhibited her find and
chatted in childish confidence
that an old gent coming along
would share in her happiness.
At the suggestion that she
should put the bird back in its
nest she said, “Okay.” and scam
pered off. It was the Saviour who
said it were better for him that a
millstone be hanged about his
neck and he be cast into the sea,
than that he should offend one
one these little ones.

Nebraskans May
Well Be Proud
» You can be proud that your
state has no bonded debt as
many others have—no state
income tax — no general
sales tax.
You can be proud that Ne
braska has one of the lowest
per capita taxes in the na
tion—about 27% less than
the national per capita state
average! This bespeaks
sound planning and good
management.
You can be proud, too, that
your state is noted for other
achievements. Nebraska
tavernmen are known, far
and wide, for operating
clean wholesome places,
. well within all legal re
* quirements, and for shoul
dering their share of the
responsibility to build a bet
ter community and state.
This is a result of the brew
ing industry’s educational
program for retailers, now
in its eleventh year.
