two sets of contracts, one was a

Another man signed a contract to

only eighty; the difference went in

Nebraska has four state parks that
now await the calls of summer visi
tors Arbor Lodge at Nebraska C ity.
Stoliey Park at Grand Island. Chad
ron Park Bear Chadron, and Victoria
Springs Park in Custer county, a lew
miles from Broken Bow.
At Arbor Lodge in the saeefc at
j grounds are growing speciment- f
every tree that may be grown in the
soil and climate of N hra.-.ka. The
flower gardens, adjoining the fine old
mansion that houses many relics of
great historic value, are now at their
i nest. Arnor L.ouge is a bower ot na
ture's beauty. The historical sel
iting and the memories of J. Sterling
'Morton, its founder, that invest the
place, give this park a unique plies
lis the affections of Nebraskans.
Stoliey Park is a part of the home
stead of Wm. Stoliey and is 42 acres
j in extent. Wm. Stoliey loved taasa.
jln 1SC1 he planted 5.000 of them;
Thousands were planted later. The
old Mormon Trail passes the park.
One of the buildings contains the
i timbers of old Fori Independence.
I Which was maintained by the govern
ment as a protection from Indians in
early days. An old log cabin, thatch
ed with slough grass, and the first
frame school .house to be erecieu in
Hall county are both in good state
of preservation.
Chadron Park is totally unlike any
other of the state parks. Nature has
done the planting. Time and ele
ments have propogated the pine tim
ber. Nature is here seen la one of
her wild and most bewitching moods.
A clear mountain brook sings its way
through the park. Cabins and camp
ing grounds under the clear skies
and favored with cool breezes blow
ing down from the hilltops bring
thousands of tourists to this popular
recreation spot every year.
Victoria Springs Park derives its
name from a grnup ol mineral
springs. The citizens of Custer coun
y gave this beautiful park to the
people of the state in 19 2". Two
log cabins: built in 1873. are very
interesting to visitors. The mineral
water is much sought after. Tlx i
are fine camping and picnic grounds,
good shade, delightful surroundings
and a good road to the park.
These parks are under control of

France's apparent immunity from
the depression and unemployment
taoai which nearly all the rest of the
world is suffering has impressed the
mayors more than anything else en
countered in their journey thus far.
In a series of statements given the
Associated Press today bv members
of the party the words "prosperity."
! "unemployment," "industry" and
"thrift" recur in a steady refrain.
French hospitality, the beauty of
French cities, the richness of France's

or Baker of Portland. Ore.
"The most interesting impression
cf this great republic" to Mayor Por
ter of Los Angeles is "its industrious
citizenry, which has resulted in the
almost entire elimination of any un
employment." Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee found
in Fiance's simple agricultural meth
ods one explanation of her compara
tive freedom from unemployment.
These methods, he said, "furnish one
of the most convincing reasons for
believing that our rapid introduction
of machinery is a cause of most of
our unemployment. The reflection
I which France gives me is that we
with our machines must find means
of cutting the hours of labor while

"The thrift and industry of the
people are my leading impression."

j fourth period began after the World
War and runs to date. Contrary to
the previous influx it has increased
the number of Protestants in Chi
cago. The largest church in the
city, the survey observed, is a Negro
Baptist cburch with from 12,000 to
14,000 members.
The excessive mobility of the city
is putting a strain on certain
churches, commented the survey.
City-wide organizations of churches
are taking the strength of the strong

the weakest. There is no indication,
it observed, that labor is deserting
the church.
