Yet one of the pictures of the nal round between Jones and Espin- osa gave, by accident, a sidelight that sponsoring the sale of books on Jef helps to explain better than the big ferson and reproductions of the more throngs of spectators the popularity . of the game. j In the foreground of the picture, Jones and Espinosa were on the put- f ting green. Several .thousand people I were grouped around them, watch-, ng the championship being decided. away in the background, ignor- ing the historic struggle, could be seen other figures a few ordinary golfers taking advantage of the ab-1 sence of the crowd to play their own game in the traLLof the great ones. That is the sort of thing that makes golf live. Those golfers who chose not to watch the play-off and Instead went out and played them- selves; they are true golf enthusiasts the sort of people who give golf its standing, The Panama canal costing the United States 1400,000,000 has long passed the point of criticism, and :while not as yet returning any pro- fits in the commercial sense, is prac- mobile age began. The National Au tically paying operating costs, pos- J tomobile Chamber of Commerce, look slbly some over. The present ton- ing into the matter has the answer; nage passing through is placed at ! 30.000.000. with the engineers say- ing wnn some, auuiuonai worK me present lock system can be made to last until 1960. By that time exten sive repairs and renewals will be necessary, and it is asserted with the proper work done with increase of feeding supplies, the canal will be good for another 100 years. There is another element of profit besides the showing on the books this appearing through the traders lnrrpn?p. nml while no pfatfstifcs nr 'available, it is certain that our coun try has been materially benefited, not only through countries on our own hemisphere, but across the oceans. If the engineers are right the nec essity for a second isthmus canal can not be proven. It is true that we paid Nicaragua $3,000,000 for the right to construct an oceanic canal across her territory, and this was but the part of wisdom, for precaution is a Eod thing. It appears our govern ment a wmie ago maue provisions ior a great dam -in the Chagres river to be completed by 1940, this for the purpose of acting as a canal feeder, and it is assured appropriations will be forthcoming for other essentials as indicated by our engineers. The canal traffic is bound to increase as the years go by. and thirty more of them will double the present canal tonnage. By that time larger locks The following is a detailed account o what ig in progress and eontem- nl.it inn in the ranal znnp and ia from 'a Balboa dispatch, this being in the I canal zone: I Surveys show that a dam at Alha- juela, 170 feet high, in the Chagres river, will form a reservoir of some ; twenty-two square miles, which will provide 22,000,000.000 cubic feet of water. Actual work on the project oegan eany mis ytar, wnen a uigu- way was constructed from the canal to the dam site. This highway has been named "Madden Roal," in honor 'of the late Martin B. Madden, mem her of congress from the First Illi- uuis uiblim, whu iui mauj jcuis chairman of the house committee on aDDroDriations. It j3 estimated that the dam can .be completed in five years, provided congress appropriates the money to carry on the work without a break. iThe total cost is placed at $12,000,- 000. Basing their estimates on the prob- nhtp inrrpjisp in Tvnrlrt traffic finv Bu rgess and Col. Schley believe the present capacity of the canal will have been reached in I960, when they figure that approximately 60,- uuu.uuu ions oi snipping win oe thrnutrh fhp waterwnv an- nuauy.

One thek imnnrtant movements now is that engendered by the Thomaa Jefferson Memorial Founda- 1 wh, h seekg t0 restore Monti- ce,lo the famoug home of thig n.reat American. and to make it a shrine nf outstanding- significance. The foundation has succeeded in purchasing the Jefferson estate in (Virginia, and now is engaged in rais- ing funds to put it in condition. An effort is being made to discover as many or the strayed belongings or the Jefferson family as possible, in- eluding books and furniture, and take them back to Monticello. The foun- dation, headquarters in New York, is famous pieces of furniture in the house. The money thus raised Is to be used to restore the old estate. Jefferson was third President of the nation and author of the De- claration of Independence. This ef- (fort to keep alive his life-story should sound a responsive chord in the health hearts of all patriots. :o: Some people think there is only one reality the reality of facts. Not so. Emotion, faith, sentiment, belief. religion they, too, are realities. Science is concerned with facts. Science may explain to us the work- ings of the earth, the stars, the suns. the universe and all the universes. Religion may explain to us the mean- ing of it all. The facetious question, "what on earth becomes of all the old autos?? . "What on earth becomes of all the has been current ever since our auto- they get tossed on the scrap heap. Every year the United States scraps 2,450,000 automobiles one-tenth of the entire number in the country. Indeed, the American people are throwing away annually, one-third as many autos as there are in use in all the rest of the world. The Chamber of Commerce points out, incidentally, that the average life of an automobile In this coun try is about six years and nine months. Which, when you consider the automobile's cheap price, isn't a bad record at all. :o: WHAT IS SPECULATION? Every time a crop is planted, or a new building erected, or a business inaugurated, someone speculates. Through misinterpretation, many people have seized on "speculation" as a catch-word for anything repre hensible and doubtful. As a matter of fact, speculation merely means the investment of money or energy or ideas or some other forme of capital, in the hope of future reward. On the stock exchanges, the people who "speculate" in securities in the hope of making money as our indus tries progress, are part of our great economic structure. For the first time in history, people in every walk of life are finding it possible to pur chase interests, large or small, in the. organizations that furnish the neces sities and luxuries of modern life. General and individual progress depends to a considerable extent on speculation, to improve living stand ards, raise wages and increase the per capital wealth. Speculation is dangerous when con taminated by dishonesty or ignor ance. When restricted to the pur chasing of securities in our great in- rustries through the guidance of high eclass brokers or investment bankers, it is one of the finest institutions we have. The old axiom, "Nothing ven tured, nothing gained," is true in all human endeavors. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court.
