:o:
Senator Brookhart of Stoughton
Wis., made another speech, closely
following the lines of former ad
dresses. The miseries of the farmer
and the duties of the government
were dwelt upon. The stock in trade
holds out.
:o:
The Mississippi Valley Flood as-
' sociation calls for the appropriation
of $100,000,000 annually for ten
years for flood control and preven
tion. This is a pretty good-sized or
der as such things go. But that is
the way It is.
THE PROGRESSIVE DILEMMA
Senator George W. Norris of Ne
braska, heir apparent to the progres
sive throne made vacant by the death
of the elder LaFollette, declares that;
he would prefer to see a wet progres-
sive in office than a dry reactionary.
He adds, significantly, that he be -
lieves that Gov. Smith of New York
"is honest and that he is a genuine
progressive."
Thus the dilemma of the progres
sive Republicans is disclosed by
their leader. Within their own party
there is so far no candidate for the
presidency who approaches their no
tion of what a candidate for that
office should be. Lowden, Dawes,
Hoover, et al., cannot, by any stretch
of the word, be called progressive.
Lowden and Dawes may be willing to
meet the northwest half-way in solv
ing the farm problem. But this uill
not make them satisfactory to Sen
ator Norris and his associates, whose
progressivism is too thorough to be
placated by a little pap thrown to
their constituents. Senator Borah,
true enough, is spoken of as a presi
dential possibility, but even the Sen
ator himself has refused to take this
talk very seriously.
But among the presidential aspir
ants of the two great parties there
is one whose progressivism is above
question. Unfortunately, he doe not
happen to be a republican, which is
just where the rub comes in for the
Republican progressives. It presents
them with a dilemma even more for
bidding than that of 1924. They
have engaged in mugwump move
ments within their party and suffer
ed the expected punishment. But
when it comes to supporting a Demo
crat well, that is something else
again. St. Louis Post-Di?patch.
:o:
INDECISION
In his address at the opening of
Mexican congress. President Calles
expresses regret for the somewhat
uncertain relations between the Unit
ed States and Mexico, and declares
that the whole trouble is attributed
to the "indicision" of the American
government. The more we think of it
the more inclined we are to believe
Calles is right.
The Mexican president says there
has been a general and inclusive com
plaint that Mexico was about to con
fiscate American property. If there
have been any concrete instances of
confiscation and vagueness of the
American attitude, there have been
'.ome diverting incidents, Euch as the
charge that Calles was aiding the
anti-Diaz (anti-United States and
pro-Nicaragua party in Nicaragua.
There was also a special proclama
tion from the United States depart
ment of state that Mexico and bol
shevist Russia are hand-in-glove. but
it was only a jumble of hearsay and
trivialities. When it has come down
to the main charge that our oil in
vestors are about to be robbed, there
is nothing substantial forthcoming.
It is rather a neat little scholding
that alles administers. It is not
severe or even discourteous, and for
this reason it is the more effective.
LEGS
Time was in the days of our grand
mothers when a perfect lady was not
supposed to possess anything worth
speaking of between the ankles and
the chin.
Nowadays the average man is like
the London bus driver. A lady was
climbing up the rear stairway of a
bus in London, a heavy wind was
blowing, and she was trying to keep
down her skirts properly. The con
ductor exhorted:
"Step along lively. Mum. Legs is
no treat to me!"
What ever they may have been,
they are certainly now no treat to
anybody.
Have the morals of the male sec
tion of the race deteriorated because
females show more of their nether
limbs?
No. Morals is a word which comes
from mores. Meaning manners, and
morals therefore are largely what
you are used to.
:o:
SCHOOL DAYS
Well, the boys are off to college
again. It's getting harder and harder
to get a horseshoed these days what
with the great deamand for fullbacks.
Some of the boys who never saw a
typewriter are very good at the
touch method just the same. One east
ern university put up a new dorm
itory during the summer. Probably
just to keep up appearances. The col
lege yell is a grand thing, but father
has the loudest one coming. But
youth must have his fling if it's
only an inkwell at some freshman's
cap.
:o:
A farmer in the state of Washing
ton has gone far toward solving his
problems by making gas out of alfalfa
Tint- T.ai-v nf nniitiral t.prhnf la ta-
vealed by his failure to make gas out
of his farm problems.

Giving the P. R. THEIR DUE
Commenting upon Boss Vare's
present fight to retain control of
Philadelphia, the New York World
gloomily doubts that a Vare victory
would impair Republican prospects
' in Pennsylvania for 192S, observing
that "when they go to the polls.
Pennsylvania Republicans are not
usually subject to moral seniles."
We hold no brief for Pennsylvania
Republicans. Their case is pretty
sad. However, to give even the Penn
sylvania Republicans their dues, we
call attention to the fact that Penn
sylvania, outside of Philadelphia,
gave Vare's Democratic opponent a
majority of something like 50.000
in the general election which follow
ed the notorious senatorial primary.
Needless to say, this was done with
Republican votes.
For Philadelphia there caa be no
excuse. But is it fair to charge the
rest of the state with Philadelphia's
sins? We believe not.
:o:
THE MUSE AMUSED
When we are sad and would be
glad, what though forbade to wake
her, we rouse the Muse and blithely
choose to sing of Reed and Baker.
These two, they say, are in the way
of running for the senate, and who
that he imbued with glee can save
with laughter ken it? The puerile
Sam, not worth a in war time
or pacific, and mighty Jim, whose
proven vim is easily terrific. Imagine
these, ye sons of ease, who like a lusty
ruction. and how the sham opponent
Sam were sent to his destruction!
The tiger's grin, a sudden din, a
deep, full-throated rattle, and then
the soft rich laughter that oft at
tends one-sided battle. O when was
there a sight so rare, a spectacle so
certain! so let us wait on fickle fate
and beg her raise the curtain.

Private estimates would now place
the probable cotton crop at around

School Lunch Sandwiches
Sandwiches for school lunches can
not be made appetizing and whole
some without good bread. Children
will often eat more bread if different
kinds are served or if the sandwiches
are in different shapes. Raisins, dried
currants and nuts may be added to
either white or whole wheat bread to
give it a different flavor. A sand
wich can easily be cut in different
shapes with a cookie cutter. Some
suggested sandwich fillings are:
Silced tender meat, lettuce, celery,
cottage cheese, brown or maple sugar,
baked beans and lettuce, chopped
nuts seasoned with salt, nots and
grated cheese, scrambled eggs and
crisp bacon, hard boiled eggs and
chopped boiled ham, peanut butter
alone or mixed with olive oil, lemon
juice, chopped pickles or ground
pineapple.l ettuce and mayonnaise.
Sweet sandwich fillings once in a
while to make a variety are: prune,
date, fig or raisin pulp, lemon juice
and nuts, sweetened chocolate spread
on graham crackers, and honey and
ground nuts.
Why Pickles Shrivel
Pickles shrivel for several reasons,
among them the most common are:
having the salt or vinegar solution
too strong, leaving the pickles in the
brine too long, reheating the vinegar
too many times, and using too much
sugar. The following suggestions may
help prevent shriveling: Leave the
pickles for 4 8 hours in a salt brine
made by putting one cup of salt in
one gallon of water. Remove them
and put them in plain vinegar for ten
days. Sir pounds of sugar to a gal
lon of vinegar will make a desirable
sweet pickle. Only four pounds of
this sugar should be added at first.
When the other two pounds are add
ed, the vinegar should be poured off
the cucumbers and reheated to dis
solve the sugar and then poured over
the pickles again while it is hot.
To makew hat is thot to be a bet
ter looking product, it is the prac
tice in some households to "green
Tickles by heating them with vine
gar in a copper vessel. Experiments
have shown that in this treatment
copper acetate is formed and that
pickles take up quantities of it. Cop
per acetate is poisonous. Alum may
be used to make thep ickle firm but
itsu se is questionable twid unneces
sary if the right methods of pickling
are followed.
The Best Poultry Remedies
The best remedy for most poultry
diseases is a set of common, homely
tools, a broom, shovel, scraper and
spray pump, some crude oil or other
spray material, and the necessary en
ergu and initiative on the part of the
flock owner to keep the outfit in use.
The Nebraska poultry keepers who
have made the most net profit during
the four past years in the University
Record Flock are the ones who use
this kind of a remedy to prevent
diseases among their flocks. They save
the money that other people put in
to high priced, brightly colored, and
strong smelling dopes of doubtful
! value. The money they save with the
od broom, shovel, scraper and spray
pump adds to their net profit. Clean
houses, clean feed and water, and
clean ground for the chickens to run
over are the four points of their prof-
table businesses.
