Prairieland Talk—
Hurrying, Romping and Loitering
Young America Goes Back to School
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN— School bells ring
again in September. Foliage on
lordly trees waves in the wind, i
still robed in
summer green.
The floral
bloom of the
departing sea
son must merge
soon into the
gold and crim
son leaf of au
tumn. Hurry
i n g. romping
and loitering
on the way to
school goes
Young America
Saunders again. There
are the precocious, the smart
ones, the dull and backward
ones, the quiet retiring ones and
the bold bluffers. What a student
reveals in classes and exams is
not a safe guess for the future.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was next
to a flop at Harvard and barely
squeezed through a law school.
Whatever one may think of the
result, scarcely a man since Lin
coln has risen to the presidency
of the United States who made
the impression in national and
world affairs left by the first
New Dealer.
Worthwhile or a calamity, the
Roosevelt saga is without an
equal in the country’s history.
Now another September and life
throbs in school rooms, thq one
room of the district school with a
half dozen students and the
crowded city school rooms. Youth
and childhood have come from
windswept prairie, from city and
town dwellings to sit at the feet
of the Gamaliels. Out of this
group may come men and women
carrying a torch that lights the
way to new achievements.
All have known of the sluggard
in school who in mature years
was a credit to the community.
Charley Jones was one such in
dividual I recall who had no in
terest in books and schools as
they formed the educational pic
ture in O’Neill in the long ago.
Charley, friendly, personally
charming, some how made out
though he eschewed books and
formal education, and the last
time I saw him he was a member
of the state legislature represent
ing the Colfax county district.
But another with the same aver
sion to books and schools, Tracy
Gwyn, died unmoumed in O’
Neill after a wasted and worth
less life.
Go to school, boys and girls!
Do your level best to be a credit
to the school, to the family you
represent and to the community
that has an interest in your suc
cess.

her mother to friends at a moth

Star gazers and astrologists
say that a change is coming up in
the polar regions, the magnetic
pole taking a few steps, hence
the polar star Polaris is to be re
placed by another. Out of these
facts or fancies conclusions are
drawn that account for the earth
quakes, floods, wars and the gen
eral mess we fellows have made
of things. Anyway, they dont
blame it all on Dean Achesun.

World-minded men promulgat
ed the one world program, mean
ing a universal national setup.
Churchmen toy with idea of
uniting Jews and the various
Christian bodies into one church.
President Truman, a Baptist, fa
vors the one church idea, proba
bly Baptist, and one world polit
ical group — Democrats. Jews,
Catholics, Methodists and the
others amalgamated into one.
Why not include the Mohamme
dans, the Brahmans, the Bud
dhists and the fire eaters and the
snake charmers. It has an appeal
for world dreamers. If it were
possible to thus corral world
thought it would not be long be
fore a Martin Luther, a John
Knox, a Charles Wesley, a Wil
liam Miller, a Cardinal Gibbons,
a Billy Sunday, a Mary Barker
Eddy, a Father Devine or an Amy
Semple McPherson would ex
plode the beautiful dream. There
might well be a reduction in
creed-bound groups, but a uni
versal organization stifles indi
vidual initiative. Diversity of
thought broadens the mind and
makes for soul freedom. Out of
the fires of the arena came deliv
erance from the thraldom of em
peror worship. And. to quote
from St. Paul’s letter to the Ro
mans: “So then every one of us
shall give account of himself to
God.”

Senator McCarthy’s visit to
Lincoln was something of a flop.
This crusader from Wisconsin is
after the political and official
hide of government functionaries
he claims, and has the evidence
of it at hand, are tinted with the
doctrines of the reds. There has
been so much accusation, so much
shady performance, so much in
the realm of graft, brought to
light that the plain citizen has
become either indifferent to it
all or is convinced that his time
will come at the polls to say what
he thinks about it. If indifference
is due to lethargy on the part of
the citizens it will take a nation
shaking political earthquake to
arouse them to action. If once a
roused you better get out from
under. It is not so surprising that
the fighting Irishman from Wis
consin was not greeted by multi
tudes; he fared fully as well in
Republican Lincoln as did Presi
dent Truman in Democratic Om
aha. Political spellbinders are not
taken seriously by this genera
tion, but maybe we had better
come to life else the reds beat us
to it.

The sigh of the breeze and the
swish of the trees commingle
in joyous refrain, while I loll in
the shade dreaming the old
dream o’er. A red truck rolls tc
a stop and here comes the bakery
peddler with his breads and cakes
and sugared things, luring my
i thoughts from the forms that be
longed to the days of the dear
long ago, away from the regior
of silence with that lost love oj
mine when in green meadows wt
roamed. Together we pluckec
blue meadowbells, together wt
gazed on the star world amazed
together shared in life’s ebbim
tide, together knelt at the eve
ning bedside. O’ yes! The breac
boy is at the door. The old mar
sits and dreams. Along comes i
loaf of bread and reminds him oi
the life-long habit of eating.

A Lincoln citizen who died it
1950 left an estate valued at mort
than one million dollars. He cam*
to Lincoln from an out - stab
small town some 20 vears ag<
with a meager knowledge of th'
printing trade and a large stocl
of ambition. He launched int<
manufacturing, and put on thi
market a garden tool. From t
small beginning he became th<
head of one of Lincoln’s larges
manufacturing plants, with largi
government contracts. The estati
just paid a sizable inheritance
tax. An inheritance tax — wh;
should federal, state or count1
governments step in and taki
the earnings and accumulation:
' of an industrious citizen?
Not so long ago $1.50 was theii
limit. Now printers think in
terms of billions. A “b” mat slid
down the channel for the operat
or instead of an “m” and made
out that there were a half billion
American men and women turn
ed out last year with degrees by
the colleges and universities of
the country. That’s more gents
and ladies than in all of America,
but as billions have become the
common denominator at present
the intelligent compositor and
astute proof reader are alike ex
cusable.

Yearling Steers
Hit $37.25 Top

Market. The top butcher hogs

very good.

of cattle through the ring. Good
yearling steers were being quoted
from $35.00 to $27.25 and the
heavier kind of yearlings on down

will be sold in the forenoons, the
cattle in the afternoons and eve

ONLY the finest barley grown could produce so

Lager. Choice, expensive barley used for brewing "Old ''/ j
Style," is specially selected by our own experts at the
very blush of top flavor. When choicest barley malt is
skilfully combined with fine imported and domestic M
hops... when brewing is done with unhurried old- H J
world care...when lagering (ageing) continues far %f,‘.
longer than is usual in this country ... then, and only g
then, can you expect a better beer—Old Style Ldger beer! —
Ask for Old Style Lager, America's finest light lager.
Always the same—always superb. ^ I
