There a windbreak flourishes today, despite the extremely dry weather which prevailed in that sec tion last year. Buethe planted the windbreak in March, 1932, during one of the dry periods. Then 100 Chinese elm, 200 Austrian pine and 100 Russian mul berries were planted. The ground, however, was plowed beforehand and then disced and harrowed so as to keep the moisture in the ground. Iiol.-'s were made with a spade and trees inserted. Dirt filled the holes up about half-way and pressed tight ly around the roots. The hole was then filled with water and later with dirt. "This windbreak - is planted in a right angle on the west and north hoeing was also done. WALKER NOT A CANDIDATE Dorking, Eng. James J. Walker, former New York mayor, laughed off a report that he was going to run for his old seat in the New York state senate. "I have neither the in tention nor the desire to become a candidate," said Walker. "Believe me, that report is one of those de lightful little movie stories people like to invent. Besides, it's not for a candidate to decide what he will do; it is for the party to decide for him. "If my recollections of America serve me aright, the senate is elect ed on even numbered years. And there's also a rumor going around that this is 1935." Bible School Lesson Study! Sunday, March 10 "Peter Preaches to Gentiles" Acts 10:34-48. Referring back to Matt. 16:19, where Jesu3 appointed Peter as the one intrcsted with the "Keys of Heaven," i. e. to open the dooifor'the entrance of the Jews into ther King dom (see Acts 2:9-11); and ten years later opened the door for the Gentiles to enter (See Acts 10, and confirmed in Acts 15:7). Herewith ends the of fice cf Peter a3 keeper of the keys, jusrt tlike the 'speaking with tongues' ended in the church; he becomes now a rhephord of the flock as the other apcstlen. That high position was granted him by the Lord because of his qualification as a leader and his fearlessness and aggressiveness. Paul on the ether hand opened up more Gentile territory than all the other cpostles combined. Peter was a preju diced, narrcw-minded Jew whom God Iliad to take in hand and teach that he is a Gcd that is above prejudice and narrowness. The entire 10th chapter is to be Btudied for a proper understanding cf this remarkable les sen. We ask first: What is a Centur ion? How many do we find in the N. T? What kind of characters were they? Very mysterious and remark able ways cf God are recorded in this cnapter. first, how Gcd takes note of cur every act performed by U3 (see verte 1). Although not a Christian, Cornelius performed Christ-like acts more zo than many professed Chris tians; he so pleased God that he cent a special "ministering spirit" to him. Who lias not had "visions" when alone with Gcd, has not yet known God and that "in his presence i3 full ness cf jcy; and at his right hand thero are pleasures forevermore?" (Ps. 1G;11). Thit man observed stated hours of prayer as every Christian should do. A ceeker for salvation, God helps him to find it. Obedient to the command, lie sends lcr Peter, who is to instruct Jiim so God works through human instrumentalities t3 carry on his work. Peter, 40 miles from Caesarea, also has "a vision" while at prayer when talking with God is the time when Gcd can reveal his purpose and design to us. OI the blessed hour cf prayer! Peter learned a great lesson, that God is no respector of persons. The fcnessengers of Cornelius are at the door, Peter invites them in, keeps them over night, takes six Christian brethren with him as witnesses, and the company of ten men start for Caesarea. They arrive the fourth day after the vision of Cornelius. This meeting at the home of Cornelius is an epoch in the church of Jesus Christ a new chapter id written, Jnever heard of before. One remarkable thing is stated by By L: Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. Cornelius if th3t could be said of every service and session of the Sun day school, what wonderful results could be recorded: "Now, therefore, are we all here, present before God, to hear all thing3 "that are commanded 'thee'' of God.1"' 'And then, if "every preacher and teacher would "Open their, mouth and say something," like Peter did. Now we come to a strange statement that can work great mis chief if not properly understood: "Every nation (and individual) that feareth him and worketh righteous ness is accepted of him." Accepted to what? Dee3 Peter wan to say that a man can do works of righteousness and thereby become an heir of . the kingdom? Can a man have the fear of Gcd in him (reverence and honor God) unleEs he knows him as a for giving Father? Can anyone be a child of God without being "born again?" If any preacher or teacher should us3 and interpret Peter's statement in that sense, that would ulllify the en tire plan of salvation. No savior is needed no repentance for sin neces cary tho blood of Christ shed in vain. No, these nations and individ uals, people like Cornelius, are not far from the Kingdom, are accepted as candidates for the Kingdom, to hear the gospel, are eligible. If Peter had thought that none but Mrs. Clarence Hansen has the mumps at this time and is having quite a contest with the malady. Glen Rutledge, publisher of the Enterprise, drove to Plattsmouth on.'

Frisbic, state 4-II club lead er "at the college of agriculture, has announced new rulings for showing There is no question in our minds that there is something wrong in the good old United States of America, We are young in years compared with the other nations of the world, but we have lost the ouoyance of youth, we have grown old without the wisdom of age. Defeat and des pair have laid hold of us, we have become panic stricken. Foundations we thought secure are shaking and tottering. What is wrong? That is the question many in all walks of life are asking, and trying to solve. We are face to face with many un pleasant and many unrighteous things, our economic structure looms large, thousands are hungry and would starve if It were not for our generosity. Our land is a land of plenty, and of wealth we have two-thirds of the world's gold. Shall we say the plans of men have miscarried; no a thou sand times no. Our representative government has failed, our forefath ers wrote their constitution and gave us lepresentative government, there were no trusts, blocks, monopolies millionaires, and thousands of un willing paupers. Today conditions have changed, the rich have brought pressure to bear upon our represen tatives, and it has become a govern ment by the powerful rich, and the favored few. You say cur govern ment is not controlled by the few, go back to 1907 under Theodore Roosevelt when J. P. Morgan sent out the order, it was caid he did, but anyway all the banks in the U. S. A. clamped down and no matter how you had on deposit ycu .could only get $5.00 at cne time. Karriman went out to organize the railrcad3 into one great system. In seventeen months he had sixteen roads merged con trary to law and then died. There was no man who could take hi3 place, so the Wall Street bankers ordered al1 banks to open upon a certain day. whii!.T they did to their shame. It was a sinful insult to every banker in the United States. According to Gecrge Bllchael, an investigator, he says that J. P. Mor gan organization has 200,000 trained financiers who are as heartless as a mill stone, their business is to es tablish a system that will bring the people into an absolute tyranny which means an absolute scourge to humanity. Russia was damned for more than two hundred years by just such ; a ii powsr. j . Why statesmen - and lav. niaker3 see the handwriting on the wall as is re corded in the fifth chapter of Daniel. How long will a patient people stand for this kind cf robbery? The National Bureau of Economic Research reported that in 1926 4,500 people had income cf more than $240,000. On the ether hand 44, 000.000 workers had an income of less than a thousand dollars per year, The per. capita income for the United States is $700 for every man, woman and child7Tut in 1929, 501 persons had an income of $1,1S5,000,000, in other words these 504 persons re ceived more money than 1,692,000 other people. There will always be a difference in men's income, but is it natural that the difference should be so large? We have come to the parting of the ways. Men will have to bridge their desire for so great a gain. An economic structure built on the as sumption that every man shall get all he can for himself, leads him to think too highly of himself. He gradually goes on until he does not care how he get3 it, and such a structure can not stand. It is contrary to God's law. There is one thing that we can do and that is to get a vi3ion of what America was intended to be when our forefathers gav it to us.

Those attracted to farniB are list rrl hv ncrleultural leaders as three classes: Farm owners who plan to farm their own land in the belief they will obtan more AAA benefit payments. Men who lost their farms when mortgages were foreclosed but who now want to return tb the country. Relief clients from the FERA, is helping to start farming on a self supporting basis. A report from Big Springs said de mand for farms in that vicinity was greater than the supply. Agricul tural college officials have reported a good demand for farm lands by prospective tenants. MEAD DUE END OF MONTH Washington. Dr. Elwood Mead, federal reclamation commissioner, said he would be unable to go to Ne braska to study proposed irrigation proKcts before the end of the month Mead said, however, he expected the survey of North Platte river to determine most feasible means of fur ther power and irrigation develop ment would be started before he starts for Nebraska.

These sixty-three men keep the democrats fighting the republi cans and the republicans fighting the democrats, while they rob us through both parties.

Today poverty, hunger, semi- drouth, a staggering tax burden with fear for the future, is driving men forth even as a ship is driven with the wind and storm. Six billion of taxes has been laid upon the Amer ican people by our national govern ment, and most of this will be spent for past wars and preparation for future wars. The golden nour for Eunyan's Christian was when the burden fell from his shoulders. How tragic that moment when Jesus fell under the weight cf that heavy wooden cross on his way to Calvary. And today the people with hearts full of pain and anguish are staggering under a tax burden that is being spent for battleships that cost $40,000,000 dol lars each that must soon be scrapped, and lor munitions and cannon that Is worse than wasted. If you want to know how the peo ple feel about it, go to seme labor meetings cn some Sunday afternoon, obtain access to some of the revolu tionary assemblies, linger on the out skirts of the unemployed huddled in the twilight in the edge of the park, hear what they say and I think the scales will fall from your eyes. Dur ing other years these agitators talk ed for the sake of talkln, but now it Is a new type of man that is speak ing, and the note of bitterness and pain is in his voice.
