A MISSOl'KI DINNER.
It is quite the fashion for the "na
tive sons" of the various states who
have moved into other commonwealths
to oieanue state societies. Thus we
have the Wisconsin association, the
Iiincis association and other state as
sociations in Nebraska, and out in
California there is a Nebraska asso
ciation with several thousand mem
bers. Conies now the word that native
Missourians resident in Nebraska are
contemplating a "get together" for
the purpose of having a regular old
possum cunner with simmon sauce
trimming and corn pone adjuncts
Lack of time and shortage of space
precludes the idea of attempting to
give anything like a complete list of
native Missourians who have made Ne
braska their habitat for many years
contributing of their time, their tal-
ents and their energies in the work of
developing this commonwealth. But
it tnat proposed .Missouri dinner is
puded off it is easy to imagine what
win happen when men like Ed Buck-
ngham, warren witzler, lorn iyrne.
Frank Hansom. "Bill" Oldham, "Bill"
Maupin. John Utt, W. II. MeCord, F
II. Heel, Roy Byrne and a score or
a hundred, or a thousand other na
tive sons of the old state, sit down.
The savory smell of the baked 'pos-
rum, the tang of 'simmon sauce, the
effulgent glow of golden corn pone
bake ! in the ashes, the spicy scent and
taste of punkin not pumpkin pie,
and the satisfying gurgle of sweet
cider as it emerges from the jug and
nestles in the gourd . Well, if
those Missourians do get together it is
going to be some party and some feed.
When it's "possum time in 01" Missou,
And 'simmons

When pawpaws lose their purple hue
And co'n pone in the pan is tossed
Yum, Yum! Just spread the board I

And wo.tch them 01' Missour'ans eat!
Nebraska owes a lot to the Mis-
sourians who left their native state
and crossed over to the western side of I
the Big Muddy and helped to devlop
Nebraska. A lot of good men have
come from Missouri and the better
they were the sooner they came to h
Nebraska. The "Missouri Dinner'
really ought to be brought to pass.

f that dinner is pulled off within a j
hundred miles of Plattsmouth we want
to 1 e there. While we were not born
in Missouri, we lived in the good old
siate for thirty years, and have par
taken of many 'possum and sweet
potatoe suppers prepared to a queen's
taste by some good old black mammy.
Those were days we shall never forget
and do not care to forget, for they
were happy ones, and the only regret
f have is that we cannot live them

It was a great tribute paid to the

AN ALIMONY PROBLEM.
It
is ii noor consolation to :i woman i
. " - -
applying ior a dependent mother s
pension to be advised by a court, as
a reason for denial of her plea, that
she can secure assistance from a di
vorced husband who has been mar-
ueu again ana nas a new lamily to
. . . . .... i
support.
I'erhaps the suggestion of the court
, ...
is true, and it may not be criticised
lor saying so. Perhaps the former
wife may yet be able to induce a court
' tax her former husband for a share
of the cost of support of herself and
.nL,jr thi!dren
But the situation suggests the
nought that in the proceedings which
i esulted in the separation of her from
her now otherwise engaged spouse,
-omtbody charged with responsibility
must have overlooked something of
vital importance.
Ic is a little late, seemingly, for this
upgestion to come from a court The
:ivcrce proceedings that left the hus-
: ..1
-unci free to take on new family cares
and obligations was obtained in a
court. It would have prevented much
embarrassment, and would have ma-
iei ially safeguarded the public, if that
: - oi:rt had then charged the husband
:th some responsibility, or rather
v,ith so much responsibility as thej
'ouit now says may be made lo resti
upon him.
Perhaps something may have been
granted this woman 'in the way of I
alimony when the divorce was decreed.
Of that nothing is said in the reports
of the procedings that led to the de
nial of her pension. If anything was
allowed her, it is evident that it was
not sufficient, else a court would not
suggest that the former husband may j
now be held for relief for her.
Anyone who takes cognizance of the
alimony allowances of the courts must
realize that as a rule they are neither
fair nor adequate. The wife gets a
pitably meagre share of the family
fortune when she and her husband
ure legally separated.
One of the duties of every court
empowered to grant divorces should
re to see that dependent wives and
children should not become public
charges in order that the husband an5
father mav marrv aeain. It should
'ie so well understood to be the duty
;f a court to make provision for them
that it would become a reproach upon
the divorce courts to have it said by
r.nyone that any divorced husband is
liable for any charge not at the time
of his divorce imposed upon him by
the court. Lincoln Star. I
INTERNATIONAL RESULTS.
Only about 200,000 foreign im
migrants arrived in this country last
year, against 1,000,000 during the pre
ceding twelve months. This country

country at peace, and arriving with
all its power to observe the obliga-
tons of neutrality, is illustrated by the
figures of immigration. The people
of the United States are not anxious
that the high tide of newcomers
should continue. We can certainly gei
K-icngr without such a large annual ad-
nation ot inhabitants. In fact, a dis-
criminating restriction of immigra-
tion has been much debated, and i
still an open question in congress. But
a reduction so great and so sudden,
strongly impresses the point that all
nations are affected bv an interruption
11 the amity that, in justice, should
exist among all. Ideal international
relations are not likely to come soon,
nor to be maintained for any millen-
nial term of years, yet it is well to
realize that war is not a matter thatjber that you was a boy once yourself.

.-uperficially to be of local concern.
The truth is that war to a consider
able extent is a world-wide disturb

relations among nations and races. In

If peaceful trade is logical, the de
structive forces of war are neces-
sarily the contrary. Not one of the
nations now trying to overpower each
othpr will arrnmnlUh what it pxner-
win accompusn wnat it expec-
ed when it summoned its millions to
the sound of trumpet and drum. The
millions are now, for the most part,
'digging in" for the winter, an amaz
ing spectacle of defensiveness on both
sides.
Armies peeping at each other
through periscopes, shivering with
coid, and covered with frozen mud,
are more an exhibition of widespread
insanity than of a reasonable effort
to accomplish anything whatever of
substantial value to anybody.

MAKING CHANGE.
The United States mints are work-
ing over time now to coin nickels,
:imes, quarters, etc., supposed to t2
due to business revival. One of the
minor inconveniences of life is th ?
difficulty of making change. Most
people who have the paying out of
money like to do it with as few bills
and coins as Dossible. Tnis saves work I

r-j-- -
De-Uiderable running around to get bills
changed. If a man hands a $5.00 or
. ,
$10.00 bill to his wife to pay house
hold charges, at the door at home, she
finds that few tradesmen can break it.
This leads to the habit of running up
accounts, which on the whole tends tc
extravagance. People will buy things
on credit that they would not take if
they had to pay cash out of the
pocket. Those who go into remote
districts for vacations find the dif
ficulties of making change quite
rcute. ine - naiives are apt w oe
mi et i a
short of ready cash, though they seem
to live comfortably enough. It is
sometimes as hard to pass a $5.00 bill

Supplies of small change are obtain-
ed periodically by business people. But I

Small bills and change are somewhat
bulky to carry. Modern style pocket-
books are pretty smalu and conforni
. 4u i,QK;f f arintr mnnv in the
jarger bilIs. The roomy old wallets
our grandsires used were more prac-
tical. It takes a good supply of small
jlls to see even a little business house
through a day. Before it is over the
proprietor may bo seen rushing
around hatless, to see if his neigh-
0rs can break a bill. This is often
due to his own lack of foresight, and
sometimes to general depression in
the cash drawer. But if there is any
real scarcity of small bills in the
country, the treasury should get busy,
Plenty of small change is a public
convenience, and facilitates cash pay-
ments and trade generally
