One of the early trails across the plains led out from Plattsmouth, the first stopping place being the almost forgotten Mullen's ranch, located well out in Cass county. This old ranch was such in name only, con- sisting of a stockade for livestock anil a Cottonwood lumber house. Pood was obtainable for man and 'beast, as at all the other ranches across the plains. Mullen's ranch was only about sixteen miles out from the Missouri river, a hard day's drive wtith oxen. From there the trail i led up into what is now Saunders Studying astronomy - is like all county, and on up the south side of deep stuff. It teaches yti that edu the Platte river to a crossing point cation is only a process of incruis not far from Fort Kearney, there to'lng your knowledge of what you don't strike the trail oat of Omaha, and on west, leaving the Oregon Trail at Julesburg, Colo., for "Cherry Creek" or Denver. This old trail should be marked. Another trail, that from Nebraska City westward, has not ( V. mavlmA x- v. n n V.

There are only a few of us old-timers left who can look Irnck into the days of the fifties when we drove oxen across from the Missouri river to Pike's Peak (Denver), or can tell of the difficulties experienced in fol lowing a sand-blown desert track. Almost any white man can write a history, but there are few who can tell history as it .really happened, so far as early Nebraska lays are con cerned (because most all of us are! dead." The old pioneer was speaking di rectly of the happenings of the fif ties, when Teal Dioneers began to open up the west. He believes, as does this newspaper, that all of the old trails in this state should be honored with appropriate markers. World-Herald. :o: HAIL, LADY RH0NDDA! To be elected a member of the house of representatives at Wash ington is no mean achievement for an American woman. To be seated as a member of the British House of Lords at London is an event of first magnitude in the life of any English woman. Lady Astor, of American birth, was the first woman to sit in the British House of Commons. Lady Rhondda, daughter of Great Bri tain's food controller throughout the war, ds the first English woman to be honored with a seat in the Bri tish House of Lords. There is mo reason why Britain's "Coal Queen" should not "make good." If the daughter is a chip off tha old block, character and effic iency will mark her membership in the House of Lords, for the late Lord Rhondda was one of the really useful men of his country. Lady Rhondda has wealth, intelli gence, beauty and, charm. For a wo man of her character and culture surely theTe should he room and wel- iwvme in the hleher branch of the imperial legislature at London. Seat ed among lords temporal and lords spiritual there.Lady Rhondda may ' be trusted to impart to things tem poral and more espepially to things ; spiritual, the womanly touch need 'ed in the world's life. :o:- A GENEROUS NATION The Red Cross figures that Amer icans have given $256,375,000 to re lieve was distress in 15 European countries. Cynics, with acid temperaments, comment that this is only $2.50 for each of us. A liberal estimate. However, It is equivalent to 500, 000 men donating the entire fruits of their labor for a whole year. That Isn't bad, considering the li bels about Americans being selfish. It would 'be a, very cold, day in Au gust before other nations would do as much for us. :o:- From the appearance of those fel lows out in this district for congress it wouKl seem that it doesn't take much to be a candidate. THE ONLY THING David Celasco, at a dinner cele brating his 40th year as a theatrical producer, says with the mellowness of age: - "In all these years it stands to rea son that I must have learned some thing, and (it is this it took years to learn -it: Love is the only thing that tells in the long run. Nothing else endures to the end." Love is more. than a sentiment. It is the basis of endeavor, the gener ator of current that keeps U3 battl ing upward. Man guards closely his money wealth. Often he is careless of that greatest treasure, love. Like the or chid, it is deNcate, fragile, easily destroyed. Are you doing you utmost to pre serve and intensify the love that is directing your life? : o : THEY CAN'T ANSWER know, never ran know. Man learns nothing. He merely extends his horizon enlargej his comprehension of his ignorance. What is water? Two parts if liy- drogen, one part of oxygon.
