A TRIP IN THE PAST We have often wondered at pic tured auto parties back in the days of the "Floradora" girls, big puffed sleeves, long skirts, 5c beer, etc., but at last we appreciate the need of the goggles, caps, hats daintily tied on ye ladies head by flowing veils and the long linen dusters having had a trip in the famous Brush of Comrade AT. D. Brown. Wherever this hardworking little car appears it attracts more atten tion than a circus parade, but the car pulls right ahead and if all cars had the same old fighting spirit as the Brush with only one lung there would be some speed records set up. But to revert to the need of goggles, dust clothing and other protection from the elements, a trip to Omaha and back in the Brush is a real ob ject lesson. It has its advantages as well as disadvantages, however, as there is no top or windshield to break in case of accident, while for the oc cupant of the car that might fear E i ring to walk back home, the car is such that you can gently leap to the roadway without danger there are no doors. The car that Mr. Brown possesses is one that is now of quite a mone tary value, it is of the vintage of 1907 when it was turned spic and span irem tne iactory and was In ser vice many years when Mr. Brown se j cured it from a resident of Lancaster county and has since had more pleas ure out of the car than anyone could put of a Rolls-Royce. When the car was new, Teddy Roosevelt was presi dent. William H. Taft and William ! Jennings Bryan were preparing to jrace tor president, John H. Mickey iwas governor of Nebraska, all since gone, but the car races on; the popu lar song of the day was "Waltz Me I Around Again Willie," and "Tell Me Pretty Maiden.

Lead arsenate and nicotine sul phate spray will get most of the gar den pests, O. S. Bare of the Agricul tural College says. The lead arsen ate spray will kill most insects and worms that eat the foliage off the plants. The nicotine sulphate will get many of sap from the Cucumber grasshoppers satisfactorily of spraying those which suck the leaves and stems, beetles, cutworms and can not be controlled with the usual method poisons on the garden vegetables. The best control for cu cumber beetles is to dust the plants well with a mixture of one ounce of calcium arsenate and one pound of powdered land plaster. Poisoned bran is probably the most effective control for cutworms and grasshop pers. A quarter of a pound of paris green or white arsenic and five pounds of bran mixed with enough water and pint molasses to make a bran crumbly when spread, makes a satisfactory poison. A finely chop per orange or lemon added to the bran will make it more attractive to the grasshoppers, but is not neces sary for the cutworms. The poison bran should be scattered thinly around the bases of the garden plants early in the evening for cut worms. For grasshoppers it should be scattered thinly over the ground between eight anil ten in the morn ing. Poultry Field Day.

Crop prospects continue good in the tenth federal reserve district, which includes Nebraska, although farm work was retarded somewhat in April and early May by frequent rains and cold weather, according to the June 1 review of the Federal Reserve bank of Kansas City.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The subject of the Lesson-Sermon read at all Christian Science churches and societies on Sunday, May 31, was "Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, De nounced." A part of one of the ci tations read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 103), Is as follows: "As named in Christian Sci ence, animal magnetism or hypnotism is the specific term for error, or mor tal mind. It is the false belief that mind is in matter, and is both evil and good: that evil is as real as good and more powerful." The lesson is intended to show that ancient ne cromancy is quiff similar to mod ern attempts to neai tnrougn tne ac tion of the so-called human mind. and that through Christ. Truth, we have the proper way for overcoming all erroneous beliefs. One selection read from the Bible js in part. "Let us therefore cast on tne wonts or darkness, and let us put on the arm our or light.

Berlin, May 31. If Chancellor Bruening and Foreign Minister Cur tius proposes a moratorium of Ger man war debt payments at the Anglo-German conference at Crequers tlii-; week, it is safe to say the pro posal will be prompted only by a desire to avoid a reaction at home which they believe might oust the present German cabinet and possibly threaten the republic itself. The moratorium, it is learned, if it is proposed to Prime Minister Mac Donald or Foreign Minister Hender son of Great Britain at all, will be asked on the ground that other ave nues of ameliorating Germany's eco nomic distress are closed and that un less there is an alleviation the gov ernment's internal difficulties may become extremely acute. Credit Endangered. Nobody knows better than Chan cellor Bruening with what dangers to German credit and economy a de mana tor a moratorium, or for a re vision of the Young plan, is fraught 1 heretore he and the foreign min ister will probably first point out to their British colleagues that Ger many's creditors could themselves ease the country's situation by ex tending long-term credits to her and by letting down tariff walls. If Germany is lent long-term cap ital at reasonable rates, one may read In the German press any day, and if she is afforded an opportunity of increasing her exports by a lowering of tariff barriers, she can continue the Young plan anuities. but if she is kept capital-hungry and barred from the world market so the press argument runs then only a reduc tion of her obligations, at least tem porarily, by a moratorium, can save her from economic collapse. Poor Time for Revision. That the World Bank for Inter national Settlements at Basel found itself unable to furnish long-term credits has meant the dashing of an other hope which was cherished in Germany. Should the chancellor and the for minister find, after counseling with MacDonald and Henderson, that the present moment of world depres sion is psychologically the poorest imaginable for urging a moratorium or a revision, nevertheless they may, by conditions at home, be compelled to press for concrete results on the Bffratieai uua W rid-Herald.
