Did You Ever Think
how the world of business is per
sistently tugging away at every
human emotion, both with words
and illustrations, in order to in
duce men and women to spend
their money, and how little effort
is expended in inducing people to
save systematically?
The day will come to all of us
when we will find that we are
worth to ourselves just what we
have saved.
If you do not accumulate for
that day when you cannot work,
you cannot be called successful. '
No greater agency than good banking connections can
contribute to incentives to thrift and success. Try it!

WEEPING WATER TAKES
SYRACUSE INTO CAMP
Weeping Water defeated Syracuse
on the Weeping Water diamond Tues
day to the tune of 5 to ?.. The game
is said to have been one of the best
dished out to the fans of our neigh
boring city this season and was full
of sensational plays from start to
finish. Beckmaster did the hurling
for Weeping Water and Gradoville
went over from here to catch for the
winning aggregation. Syracuse brot
the celebrated Iowa and Nebraska
pitcher Berg, but he proved a fizzle
with the home boys. Cass county
has some good ball teams in the field
this year. of which the Weeping
Water aggregation is one of the best,
and any team coming in under the
impression they will have a snap, is
sadly mistaken.
In Tuesday's game Weeping Water
got six hits to five for Syracuse, and
was charged with three errors to five
by the visitors.

REGENTS CLASH
WITH GOVERNOR
University Board Object to IOC,'
Slice of Quarterly Estimate
of Expenses by Governor
Lincoln, Aug. 0. The board of re
gents, of the University of Nebraska
and Governor McKelvie have run
counter to each other in the matter
of the iuarterly estimate of expenses
submitted by the regents, which has
been sliced 10 percent by the gover
nor. After the passage of the new
budget bill. Governor McKelvie ruled
all estimates of expenditures for the
various state denartments must be
10 per cent under the appropriations
made in order to set aside a surplus.
The bill also provides that all esti
mates must be approved by the gov
ernor. Shortly before the university
estimate was made the governor no
tified the regents that the university
must comply with this rule.
Late in July the regents met in
Omaha and discussed university fin
ances for the coming year. At that
meeting a letter was drafted to the
governor declaring that "we feel
keenly our obligations to the people
of this state in the administration of
funds granted for university support,
and that it was not the intention of
the constitutional convention, the
convention itself, nor the legislature,
that the executive department (the
governor's otlice) should dictate such
adniinist-artion, nor restrict the same
within legislative appropriation and
executive indorsement of such appro
priation." This letter was written
August 1.
Teacher May Get Less
Following this the regents sent in
their quarterly estimate. On August
0 the governor wrote the regents a
letter, which he made public today,
in which he advises the regents that
he has advised the state auditor to
allow all university claims in the re
gents' estimate, minus 10 per cent.
In his letter the governor asks the
regents for a further conference on
the subject on August 1.1.
Dr. P. L. Hall, Lincoln, chairman
of the board of regents, to whom the
communication was addressed, said
he had received the governor's invi
tation for the August 15 conference,
thought that the regents and the,gov
ernor would get together on the mat
ter satisfactorily, but he indicated
the regents intend to stand their
grounds.
Dr. Hall said that when the re
gents asked for the appropriation to
carry on the university work they
carefully took into consideration the
absolute needs of the institution, and
the regents themselves did figure on
a surplus of approximately $70,000.
He said that a 10 per cent deduction
will amount to approximately $1S0,
00 0.
If the quarterly estimate is to be
cut. Dr. Hall says, it will simply
mean teachers in the institution will
be denied the amount of wages that
the regents have agreed to give them.
EDiSiON REBELS

fi. The woods will get you if you
don't watch out.
Stay out close to nature long en
ough and you won't want to come
back to the civilizing influences of
trolley cars, telephones, porcelain
bathtubs and nickeled plumbing.
That's Thomas A. Edison's theory.
"Every man way down in his heart
revolts at civilization." said Edison,
in camp with Henry Ford and II. S.
Firestone." "Every man will revert to
barbarism if given half a chance."
"Turn a man loose in the woods
and he won't want to come back
after a while. Man is like a domesti
cated animal. I saw a dog revert to
the wild life of his ancestors in ex
actly three days!
Don't Learn What Life Is
"We don't live long enough to find
out what life is all about," he said.
"But we know what civilization is.
It is a mere veneer that keeps on
getting thicker but never too thick
to pierce.
"It will be 15,000 years. I think,
before man will have reached such a
high point of civilization where he
cannot and will not want to go back
to the barbaric life.
"I have a friend down near Fort
Myers, my Florida home, who took
a Seminole boy out of the Everglades
and gave him the best education pos
sible. Yet he slipped back into the
old life. Natives in such places as
Africa do the same thing very often
in spite of missions.
"I like to get out in the woods and
live close to nature. Every man does.
It is in his blood. Lt is his feeble pro
test against civilization."
Edison's chief outdoor amusement
is fishing.

of the A R ("s of economies, whose
blind obedience to Wall street is re
sponsible for the stupid, selfish short
sighted policy that is retarding our
prosperity and creating profound dis
gust and discontent among the peo
ple." Declaring that most members of
the house want to carry out the peo
ple's wishes with regard to taxation
and other economic questions, Mr.
Keller says a "little dominant minor
ity has tied down the safety valve of
free discussion until an explosion im
pends which will scatter the repub
lican party from Maine to California."
"The president has assumed more
powers than any of bis predecessors."
Mr. Keller continues, "and tells con
gress what bills to pass and what not
to pass. Bills concocted at secret con
ferences are introduced without being
referred to a responsible committee.
Th president's advisors seem to think
it possible for the country to lift it
self by its economic bootstraps and
vaguely promise that a half billion
dollar gift to the railroads which
in some mysterious manner is not to
increase taxes will restore prosper
ity. "They would do better to buy
themselves with lowering rates, tak
ing off the transportation tax. and
seeing to it that the railroads are
run efficiently with a minimum of
waste. Hut that is not likely so
