INVITES SCHOOLS The publicity department of the Henry Field Seed Co., over at Shen andoah extends a very cordial invi tation to schools to come in a. body and spend a day with them in seeing the systematized activities of the in stitution and then enjoy a program in the studio KFNF and also a pic ture show on the second floor. The show ii a trip through the seed house when a busy time is on. The best way would be for the teacher to take all the children and the children get the parents to go and all take their dinners and try and get there be tween ten and eleven. A guide will be furnished to escort them through the building and explain things. The trip can be concluded so as to start home a little after three. It would be interesting and instructive; and no doubt, many schools will avail themselves of the chance before the weather gets too cold. !

S0MEE0DY MUST PAY TAXES Popular opinion probably will eventually -concentrate in sufficient force to cause the elimination of the obviously unfair practice by govern ment of issuing tax-empt bonds. In effect it is nothing less than making the weak shoulder the burden of the strong. Tax-exempt securities impose a burden in more ways than one on all industries. f- Picture Framing and Furniture Repairing John P. Sattler Funeral Director PHONES Office. 400 Res.. 29 f T 4.

CONSTITUTION NOT IN NEEDOF FIXING Paul Jessen Tells Radio Audience Sunday Night as Part of Consti tution Week Observance. Those who "constantly eef-k to amend our constitution" were re minded that the document has for 138 years furnished a "enfa v.ii re conduct for both the nation and the Individual," by Paul Jessen, former district judge of Nebraska City and president of the Nebraska Bar 'asso ciation, in a radio address Sunday night. Judge Jessen was the first of sev eral speakers to broadcast appeals for support of the constitution, as a part of the constitution week pro gram, observed thruout the state and nation. "During this period of 138 years," he continued, "there have been but nineteen amendments, and of these the first ten were really a part of the original document, for they were conditions upon which the different states consented to its ratification, and without which, ratification bv the differents state would probably not have been secured." - The speaker declared that during the past ten years there has been "al most a mania" on the part of some citizens to amend the document. "No work of man rs perfect," he asserted, "and conditions may arise in the future, as they have in the past, making amendments to our constitution desirable, but before we change its provisions let us be sure that the purposed change if for the betterment of existing conditions, and not to gratify the personal desires of some disgruntled class, but bearing always in mind that while not per fect it is by far the best guide for hu man conduct yet devised, and to be changed with caution." In conclusion the speaker point ed out that under the original docu ment and its amendments, the United States has not only gained a leader ship among the nations of the world but it has set a standard in the governmental affairs to which other nations are aspiring."
