INVITES SCHOOLS
The publicity department of the

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.

GIVES FRIEND SURPRISE
From Wednesday's Daily
Mrs. Frank Gobelman has been
the chief factor in the organization
of surprises on many of her friends
in the past and on last Monday eve
ning she was made the "victim" of
one of these surprises herself. The
ladies with whom she has been asso
ciated in a bridge club had very
quietly organied the affair and car
ried it out without the gtiest of hon
or being aware of the conspiracy that
was on foot and it was not until the
friends arrived at her home that Mrs.
Gobelman was aware of the pleasant
time that had been arranged.
The evening was spent in playing
bridge, four tables being arranged
and in the playing Mrs. John Wolff
was awarded first prie while Mrs. C.
A. Rostncrans was awarded the con
solation prie.
The ladies joined in the presenta
tion to Mrs. Gobelman of a very ap
propriate and attractive gift that she
will cherish as a remembrance of the
friends and in memory of the pleas
ant associations of the past.
uainty refreshments at an appro
priate hour added to the pleasures of
the members of the party.
GIVE FRIEND FAREWELL
From Wednesday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon the members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and the Woman's Relief Corps gath
ered at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Glenn at Tenth and Granite
street where they joined in a most
delightful farewell for Mr. and Mrs.
Glenn, who are soon to leave for their
old home at Hamburg, Iowa, to make
their home in the future, as well as
Mrs. William Cowles, who is to leave
in a short time for California to
make her home.
The occasion was one of the great
est enjoyment as the members visited
with the old friends, although the
afiernoon was saddened bv the
thoughts of tlie parting that soon
must come among the circle of old
friendi.'.
At a suitable hour the members
of the partv partook of a dainty
luncheon that the members of the
party had produced from heir well
filled baskets of the good things that
had been provided.
At the home-going hour the mem
bers of the two patriotic societies de
parted for thei rhomes extending to
the friends who are soon to leave
this city, their best wishes for their
future welfare and happiness.
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.

GROWN ON WY
OMING F A R Ft
On Farm of Frank Gobelman, Near
Marshall, Wyoming, 179 Shoots
From One Grain of. Rye.
From Tuesday's Daily
The press dispatches feature the
fact that on the Spring Reck rancn
near Marshall. Wyoming, one seed of
rye has produced 179 shoots, which
is considered a. very remarkable show
ing.
Not a little local interest is in
volved in the matter, as Frank R.
Gobelman, of this city, is the owner
of the farm on which the rye was
srrown and while he was out there
several weeks ago he had the pleasure
of seeing the shoot and personally
counting them so that there is no
doubt of the report being true.
The ranch is a very large one, part
beinc owned by C. G. Bridges, form
erly of Omaha and by Mr. t.ooeiman
and the rye was grown on the section
of the ranch that belongs to Mr.
Gobelman, which is being cultivated
by the Bridges family.
The rve was grown at tne annum-
of 7.500 feet, and Mrs. Bridges, who
exhibited the rye at the county fair
at Larmie, Wyoming, believes that
it Ptahlishes a record for the grow-
in r of rve as the highest number of
shoots on any stalk previously re
ported, she claims was sixty-nve. inis
was raised by a Nebraska farmer.
Mr. Gobelman states that the rancn
is located in a very attractive valley
and only a short distance from thej
mmin tn ins as Marshall is located just'
at the foot of the range and the ranch
but eight miles from Marshall. There
i3 plenty of water in the valley which
makes the crops very abundant and
of the very best type.

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."
