It helps him find a sense of responsioilty and gives him an idea of the well known dignity of labor; and then it is al.-o good exercise for the parent who has to mow the yard over a second time to give it a presentable appearance. :o: Let's see, it was eleven years ago that they told us that prosperity was Just around the corner. Reminds us of the old fellow who preached that the world would come to an end in seven years. When the seven years rolled around and his prediction fail ed to materialize, he pushed it up again another seven years. What he fell Ehort of in the first matter of accuracy he made up in the quality of persistence. :t: Speaker Garner is going to go his running mate a few better and re ceive his notification of his nomi nation and give his acceptance by mail. The cost, it Is said for him, will be only 6 cents a 3-cent stamp on each letter. The rpeaker missed an opportunity by delaying. Had he turried a bit he could have tran. acted the notification business before the postal increase and with 2-cent Etamps and made a bigger saving. :o: A July Sun, blazing its splendor across the hill3, matches its bril liance with the undulating seas of golden wheat. The smell of July aromatic clover fields and dying clover blooms intermingled with ripening wheat and drowsy poppies; rain, cool and swift, thumming across the quivering corn blades and beat ing the swirling dust crestfallen, to earth; white hot days saturated with Etiflling July quietness. Midsummer! Stronger Than He Was at Twenty ; 1 x "to. FIFTY-FIVE years old, and still going strong! Do you want the secret of such YiUlity? It isn't what you eat. or any tonic you take. It's something anyone can do something you can start today and see results in a week! All you do is give your vital organs the right stimulant. A famous doctor discovered the wajo stimulate a sluggish system to new energy. It brings fresh vigor to every organ. Being a physician's prescription, it's quite harmless. Tell your druggist you want a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin. Get the benefit of its fresh laxative herbs, active senna, and that pure fiepsin. Get that lazy liver to work, hose stagnant bowels into action. Get hd of waste matter that is alow v 75 h - ; 1 .! 'More 'Whew!' Weather." :o: We are indebted to Ed Wynn for finding prosperity for us. He says it's around the crooner. :o: Too often a vice-president is just a man who makes everybody hope nothing happens to the President. :o: One thing about a boy or girl who works part or all of his way through college, at least he learns how to make his way. :o: "The only case of sleeping sick ness in our family," a girl reported to the Journal, "was the nap father used to take on rug-beating days." :o: Radio broadcasting in Canada is to be governed by a commission. A great deal cf broadcasting in the United States seems to be by "per mission" of the copyright owners. :o:- A martyr this time of year is the fellow who obeys his wife's injunc tion to wear his coat to church, then finds the preacher and all the dea cons have come without theirs. :o: Speaker Garner is going on a fish ing trip in a few days. He is now reported to be at home, fixing up the fishing tackle and considering what kind of bait to use. The kind he has been using lately is "said to be not wholly satisfactory. :0: One way in which a college town has it over the other cities. i3 that a college town has a high-pressure campaign every fail during the fra ternity and sorority rushing. Other towns have to be satisfied with the political campaigns every two or four years. :o: When Mussolini stages a shake up, things stay shook. He removed five ministers the other day, and two of them will not be replaced. Mr. Mussolini feels that a little new blood is needed in the cabinet, and whose blood could be newer than his own? :o: Several of our national magazines devoted to the cause of viewing ev erything with alarm have recently been merged, and it is reassuring to know that henceforth most of the national worrying will be done un der one roof, with a considerably de creased oerhead. :o: City wives kiss their husbands often than do the wives of husbands in the country, according to George Tedrick of the Altamont Times, an authority on the subject. He figures it is because the city wives don't get to see iiieir juhuauus as oiitu u. do the country wives their husbands. poison so long as it is permitted to remain in the system. The new tnergv men and women feel before one bottle of Dr. Caldwcirs syrup pepsin has been used up is proof o f now much the system needs this help. Get a bottle of this delicious syrup and let it end that constant worry about the condition of the bowels. Spare the children those bilious days that make them miser able. Save your household from the use of cathartics which lead to chronic constipation. And guard against auto-intoxication as you grow older. Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin is such a well known preparation you can get it wherever drugs are told and it isn't expensive. 7 - ' - M ' "V: , r The Toledo Elade wants to know why we occasionally hear of gentle men's agreements, but never of ladies' agrenients. :o: The Capone brothers may buy the 101 ranch in Oklahoma. Somehow, Al in a cowboy suit roping mavericks sounds like a bum steer. :o: Say, when does the female species of the human race leave the baby hood age for the grown-up age? A candidate made a mistake recently in his rounds of kissing the babies in lieu of voters. :o: "Four milion dollars was spent by Americans last year for amuse ments," says a news item. One cf our local critics dissents, however; he says they spent that sum in the quc-Pt of amusement. :o: For a long time we wondered why a young man and a 5-oung woman riding in a rumble seat always lock themselves so tightly in each other's arms. Finally we figured it out. It's to keep from falling out (with each other). :o: Chicago police arrested a man sit ting in a parked motor car because he said he had entered the car to get warm. The police refused to believe his explanation because it was 90 outside the car. Still, for one wish ing to get warm, a parked car is a good place. If it's 90 outside, it's usually about 115 inside the car. :o: The origin of the expression "Up Salt River," as having to do with the journey of a defeated candidate, is said to have originated when a Monroe County defeated candidate, years ago, was asked where he was going after he heard the sad news. He replied "Up Salt River," where he did go and camped out for a week to recover from the wounds of bat tle. :o: Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick announces that she has heard of an economic disturbance in the land, and proposes to institute a number of household economies to meet the situation. It is unfortunate that Mrs. McCormick heard about the situation so late. Most other people began practicing their economies some time ago so long ago, in fact, that a good many of them now ad mit being good and sick of econ omies. ;o EEC0VEEY AWAITS A NEW PEODUCT What will be the next new thing which will stir us up, give us ite po newed faith in our world and its po tential possibilities and in its pro gress to world-wide popularity drag other businesses along by capillary attraction? There may be designs on drawing boards and compounds in test tubes at this very moment which will put new life into an apathetic world. Already intimations are creeping into the news. The other day, it was one-way glar.3, glas3 which ad mitted light but shut out sight. These inside could look out but those outside could not see in. One ph3' sicist thinks the next big enterprise will be the suppression of noise. Another prophet points out the possibilities in the plastics those discoveries In chemical products pro ducing new materials out of which to make old objects. Cellulose Is one, already widely known in cello phane and celotex. The phenols are another group of which bakelite is a concrete example. Consider the possibilities of sub stitutes for wood, iron, cotton, glass, with new qualities, with Inexhaust ible supplies, of houses, clothes, dishes, bottles, made of synthetic materials, houses so tight that fuel cost is nominal, of elastic unbreak able dishes, of clothes that are light, warm, comfortable, becoming and cheap, of buildings without windows because they are all windows. Despite the hope of many who pin their faith to commissions, morator iums, reconstruction finance corpor ations as first aid to banks with frozen assets, bonuses for railroads or farmers or veterans, the regener ation of the great buying public in to some semblance cf its former fer vor is not going to come from such economic gestures. They all lack the dramatic quality that appeals to the popular imagination. On the other hand, some appar ently absurd new idea and was there anything more absurd than the motor car or the movie or the radio in the beginning? is going to emerge and spread like the proverbial! wildfire. If it is something people can buy, and its manufacture em ploys labor and raw material, then it will be the force that will rouse a timid public from its apathy. Ernest Elmo Calkins In Nation's Business. THE MITCEELLVTLLE PLAN Stranger things have happened than for a handful of farmers who met near Mitchellville, la., to lead the way out of the business depres sion. In offering their solution these tillers of the soil may have found exactly what the whole country needs and must have, confidence and courage. The Mitchellville plan is simple enough for anyone to understand and apply. The only requirement after understanding it is courage to act, after which its ramifications practically are without limit. The Iowans merely have resolved to "buy the things we want and can afford for our own personal, home and, farm use." The Mitchellville farmers who quietly resolved to do this did so because they had "the greatest con fidence in the future of the farming business and in the rank and file of the people of this country." They properly reasoned that "money so spent v ill not only satisfy the wants and needs of the buyer but will also go into useful channels and provide employment in every walk of life, improving business lor everyone, in cluding ourselves." This could be the beginning of a steadfast movement for economic re covery. If this t-imple idea were ac cepted throughout the country, by ether farmers, by professional and business people, by wage earners who have steady employment and by Tiold of great wealth, who, in some re spects, have shown the greatest fear of all, there would be an immediate business upturn. The bottom is not going to drop out of business in this country un less the American people permit it to do so. It could drop out if the peo ple did nothing to prevent it and at the same time made mistakes con tributing to such a development. Basically, the country is sound. Fun damentally, the United States is as rich as ever. The American people are poor today, not so much in a material sense as in courage and spirit and grit and determination. Sioux City Journal. :o: STATES AND BELIEF LOANS President Hoover expressed a be lief a few days ago that the states would not need or use the total of 300 million dollars made available to them for relief of destitution. But if the early state requests for shares in the 300 million dollars are" to be takn as indicative of the demand, all of the fund will be allotted about as soon as th requests can be investi gated. This does not mean, however that all the fund will be used. The distribution is to be made among the states on the basis of need. State ad ministrations at this time can only estimate their need3 for the coming winter. They will be disposed to prepare at least conservatively for possible requirements. Whatever the communities receive through the states should be regarded as supple mentary to local funds raised in the usual way through organizations that have functioned for years in many cities and towns. It still is desirable that communities, bo far as consistent with their resources and the extent of their destitution, should care for their own. Govern ment succor is an extreme measure, not to be taken as a permanent pol icy, and should not be permitted to impair the splendid spirit that has characterized local self-help in times past. :o: CAP0NES CAtf GO RANCHING Ponca City, Olfa. Uet the Ca pones come to the 101 ranch, says Mayor Dan Kygar, but he advises them to bring their bodyguards along. Replying to an inquiry from the Chicago Herald-Examiner, which said "Chicago, having rid the city of the gangsters" would like to know whether they will be welcomed in Oklahome, the Tonca City mayor wrote: "I have no information in regard to purchase of the famous 101 Rranch by the Capone brothers. But we have outlived the Daltons, Al Jennings, Ben Cravens, Henry and Bell Starr, Al Spencer and two gubernatorial impeachments. If the Capones can give us new thrills, send them along, but advise them to bring their bodyguards with them. The old ranch has already been tanned by the en croachments of civilization. A little Chicago culture will do no harm." Commenting that Oklahoma chil dren "cut their teeth on forty-fives and thirty-eihgts," the mayor said he would assure the Capone brothers protection until they become acclim ated. After that they must look out for themselves. :o: Duslness will Improve only as we contribute to its Improvement by exercising our purchasing power. A TEMPERAMENTAL WEAKNESS A great many people have won dered why President Hoover so per sistently denies an audience to Com mander Waters of the bonus army in Washington and why he is so dead set against permitting the "army" to march in orderly parade past the White house. This situation goes deeper than the mere merits of the bonus demand or the propriety of assembling in such force in the national capital as to constitute a physical threat against the congress. However mis taken these men may be they are first of all American citizens exer cising a constitutional American right in a manner which they evi dently believe to be just and proper. They are entitled to a hearing and to an explanation of why their de mands must be refused. Congress collectively heard their leaders and, individually, suffered with a great deal of patience the im portunities of groups of veterans. When these importunities degener ated into abusiveness Senator Lewis dropped his customary urbanity and courtliness and told them they could "go to hell." But he gave them first the change to speak as did his col leagues. Why then doe3 President Hoover doggedly refuse to grant the same courtesy? Were he to let Commander Waters state the veterans' case to him and hear from his own lips the reason for his opposition, he might not win the friendliness but he would command the respect of the veterans. It is true fhe president is a busy man and must be protected from trivial solicitation. But this is net a trivial matter. It may be true that he has carefully considered ev ery argument which the commander can possibly advance, but his mind is irrevocably made up and that an interview would be useless so far as altering his position is concerned. Nevertheless he is the great white father, the titular leader of his peo ple, presumed to have a sympath etic ear for their distresses even" though he may be powerless to re lieve them. The reason why President Hoover refuses to hear Mr. Waters or to look upon his tatterdemalion army seems to us to be fairly obvious. He is temperamentally loath to face un pleasant facts and painful stiuations. He ehowed the same trait in his un gracious refusal to bear the plea of Tom Mooney's mother for his good offices as an intercessor. The au thors of "The Washington Merry-Go- Round" have observed this char acteristic to be martied. Mr. Hoover is touchy, quick to take offense, hos tile newspaper criticism "burns him up." He plainly shudders at a ses sion of congress. Most of all this temperamental weakness was shown in his prolong ed paltering with the facts of the depression and its consequences With a national treasury piling up its staggering billions of deficit, he too long dreaded acknowledgment of the seriousness of our plight. A po litical and economic edifice in whose strength he had implicit faith had come crashing about his ears and it required constant prodding to stop him from covering up his eyes and crying, "It isn't bo." President Hoover is a man of great natural capabilities. He has super lative organization ability, fine in tellectual equipment, and a talent for studious application to his task. But the exercise of them is marred by this temperamental weakness. World-Herald. :o: ADS MOST EFFECTIVE NOW Advertising may easily be more effective in a period of declining sales record than when business is booming, in the opinion of the emin ent New York banker, Francis S. Sisson. Business men who cut their ad vertising during a depression, mere ly because they see sales falling off in spite of their best efforts, are "putting the cart before the horse," says Mr. Sisson. It is almost inevitable that sales must decline during a period such as we are passing through now. It must be remembered, however, that. such a situation does not diminish, J but rather- accentuates competition. It therefor sets the stage for In tensified sales effort, on the part of forward-looking excutives, and warns them against risking loss of that im portant margin of patronage which is wholly attributable to the adver tising program- Des Moines Tri bune. :o: FARM FOR SALE G.

From Friday's Dally Last night the long dry spell which has prevailed over this sec tion of Nebraska was relieved in southern Cass county and northern Otoe county by a heavy rain thai fell for some time and did the growing corn much good. The rainfall is esti mated at from a quarter to over one inch in the localities from Dunbar north to the vicinity cf Nehawka and Union. Travelers on the dirt roads in the rain swept district experienced a great deal of difficulty in traveling and water stood in many places on the "O" street road. The banks of clouds in the south and west last evening threatened rain in this section of the county but the storm passed around Cis sec tion entirely. The rain in the near by communities served to make it some cooler here last night and early this morning over the temperature of the past few days. STATE IS SALVAGING FISH With the Platte nearly bone dry between Kearney and Columbus, state game wardens are making an attempt to salvage as many small fish from the stream as possible. Frank O'Connell, secretary of the state game forestation and parks commission, raid a crew of eight men had been sent out to work the Platte between Kearney and the point where the Loup empties into the Platte river near Columbus. Below Columbus there is sufficient water in the stream to sustain the fish. Lee Hudleson has charge of the crew of eight men seining the small er fish frcm the rapidly drying holes in the river bed. The fish will be transplanted in the nearest deep wa ter streams. Spearing of fish and catching fish with the hands is permitted along the riatte during this emergency. O'Connell eyplained, providing the fishermen have licenses. He pointed out that it was impossible to salvage the larger fish, and that spearing and hand catching would be permit ted. Nets and seines are prohibited. however. UNION MEN AEEESTED LaBt evening Constable Tom Svo boda was called to Union on the complaint that several j-oung men there were creating trouble. The constable, who was accompanied on his trip by Ted Svoboda. found on his arrival at the southern Cass county town, that there had been a great deal of noise produced by a group of young men. Tom Hamilton and Ray Garrens were taken in cus tody and brought to this city and this morning a charge of intoxica tion was preferred againsT them by Mayor George Stites of Union. At the hearing in county court to day before Judge A. II. Duxbury, the two defendants entered a plea cf guilty to fhe charges preferred and" were given a fine of 510 and costs. The two young men were remanded to the custody of the sheriff until the amount of the fine and costs shall have been settled. FOE SALE Good hay rack and wagon, 520.00.
