cation for the presenting of such en
tertainment. As a result cf their re
sourcefulness, a miniature Rose Bowl,
similar to that in California where
the great winter football gamc3 are
played, has been provided.
Taking advantage of the excava
tion for the basement of a building
that was recently destroyed by fire,
a limited amount of filling and grad
ing has made it possible to secure the
proper elevation, each row of seats
being a trifle higher than the one in
front cf it. The location i3 between
the store of P. A. Sanborn and the
store room to the east of it. The screen
will be placed on the store room wall
and the seats extend backward to the
wall of the store building, giving ev
eryone a gsod view of the pictures.

on Saturday night3 was scheduled for
last Saturday, May 11. Thi3 enter
tainment is provided by subscription
among the Greenwood business men
and other citizens of the town who
arc interested in seeing Greenwood
advance.
With a free show and other attrac
tions tho town should be filled each
Saturday night throughout the summer.
Improving Christian Church
The Dorcas Society of the Christian
church are the sponsors of the move
to paint the church building, cut out
some of the trees in the church yard
and plant a barberry hedge as well as
other ornamental shrubs and plants
about the church building, including
a number of weeping willows, which
mane very good foundation planting,
according to the latest rules of land
scape gardening.
Plan Memorial Day Exercises
The American Legion and Legion
Auxiliary are busy making plans for
the annual Memorial Day program,
to be held on Thursday, May 30. Sat
urday, May 18, has been set aside as
Poppy Day, when everyone will be
urged to buy one of the bright red
flowers made by disabled veterans in
government hospitals, in memory of
the men who gave their lives for
their country. Part of the money de
rived from this source goes to those
who make the poppies, while the bal
ance of the proceeds will be used prin
cipally for flowers to decorate the
graves of the veterans of all wars in
the local cemetery. Everyone should
give their support to the poppy sale
and thus help the living veterans dec
orate the graves of the departed war
heroes.
At the exercises on Memorial Day,
Mr. I. D. Beynon, of Lincoln, will give
tho principal address. Mr. Beynon is
well known to a number of our citi
zens and he comes well recommended
as capable of making a splendid ad
dress on such an occasion as this.
Alumni Banquet Saturday Evening
The Alumni association of the
Greenwood schools will hold a ban
quet at the parlors of the Christian
church this coming Saturday, May
18th. The Dorcas society of the
church will serve the banquet. There
are a large number of former students
of the Greenwood schools who are
members of the Alumni association,
but many of them are located at dis
tant points and will not be able to
get here for the annual feast. How
ever, indications are there will be a
good number present to welcome the
,new members of this year's graduat
ing class and a good time will be had
by all those who do attend.
Challenge Open to the World
Greenwood has a good baseball park
and a good baseball team, made up of
young men of the community who
know how and enjoy playing a good
clean game of baseball and who can
take defeat in the same good grace as
victory, should the odds go against
them. However, they expect to win
their full share of ganie3 played and
are extending an invitation to any
and all teams to come and try them
out, with full assurance that a good
crowd of sports will be on hand to
witness the contest. A post card or
letter addressed to the manager of the
Greenwood Baseball Team will reach
them and bring a prompt reply. So
don't be backward, you managers of
baseball teams; start the ball rolling
and Greenwood will field it.
WELLS LOOKS AT NEW DEAL
New York. II. G. Wells, in an
appraisal of the new deal, finds in
it what to him are the unique ele
ments of "brawling public discus
sion" and the comparative lack of
large race or class antagonisms.
In a series of magazine articles,
the first of which appears Friday,
Wells sums up his inspection of the
new deal:
"Everywhere we see the drive to
ward a new world order producing
either on the one hand inadequate
but considerable changes accom
panied by protestations that noth
ing more is being done than a return
to dear old conditions, or on the oth
er hand effusive declarations of new
deals, new eras, new regimes and so
cial revolutions, masking very ser
ious attempts to restore the lost or
der of things.
"The hysteria cf revolution can be
extraordinarily like the hysteria of
reaction, and very different preten
sions and subterfuges may mask re
sistances essentially the same."
After looking over the English
speaking world scene, and noting
that the Anglo-Saxon mentality is
"almost unconsciously progressive
and expansive," the British author
and historian declares:
"There are two aspects of the Am
erican effort that seem to me uni
que. The first is that the Etruggle
to reconstruct America goes on in an
atmosphere of unbridled public dis
cussion brawling public discussion.
"The second aspects of the English-speaking
situation as compared
with the rest of the world is the com
parative unimportance of large mass
antagonisms. There is no widespread
conception of a class war as in Rus
sia, or of racial incompatability as
in Germany, or xenophoba as in Italy
or Japan."
Credit Corpora
tion Not Part of
Temporary Plan
George J. Thomas, Secretary of South
Omaha Production Credit Cor
poration Explains Plan.
Correcting an impression that
seems to be common in this vicinity,
Mr. George J. Thomas, secretary
treasurer of the South Omaha Pro
duction Credit association of South
Omaha, Nebraska, said that the asso
ciation ' is not a temporary "emer
gency" or "relief" organization and
does not loan government funds.
According to Mr. Thoma3, some
persons here have confused the PCA
with the county emergency crop and
feed loan office.
The secretary-treasurer explained
that the South Omaha Production
Credit association i3 intended to pro
vide for the farmers of this terri
tory a permanent source of low-interest,
short-term credit for agricul
tural purposes. The intereet rate is
5 per cent a year. Funds are obtain
ed from private investors through the
Federal Intermediate Credit bank of
Omaha.
Adequate security is required for
every PCA loan, Mr. Thomas de
clared, and every borrower is a
stockholder and has a voice in the
association's affairs. Eventually it is
expected the entire production credit
system will be owned by the farmer
borrowers. The South Omaha PCA serves
farmers in Douglas, Washington,
Burt, Dodge, Saunders, Cass, and
Sarpy counties.
Entirely separate are the county
emergency crop and feed loan com
mittees. They have been set up as
temporary governmental agencies to
care for only those farmers who can
not obtain credit elsewhere for the
purchase of seed and feed.
Green Onions
Can be Grown
from the Seed
Soaking Over Night Speeds Germin
ation; Sow. Thinly; Cheapest
and Easiest Method.
Sowing onion seed is the cheapest
and easiest way to furnish a continu
ous crop of young green sprouts after
the first crop of "sets" has been used.
Sets are the best for early crops, be
cause they grow so quickly.
The young onion is the most popu
lar and most widely used of all green
vegetables, and a supply is needed in
the home garden.
Sow the seeds as soon as the soil
can be worked. Sow it thinly in the
first place and save the necessity of
thinning later. The seed is rather
slow to germinate, and soaking it
overnight in lukewarm water is an
ancient practice of practical value to
start the seed growing. The soaking
will cause the seeds to mush togeth
er and be hard to handle, but by
draining off on a towel this can be
avoided without drying the seed
again.
Seeds should be sown in shallow
drills, even more shallow than the
size of the seed would seem to indi
cate. Keep the soil moist during the
germination period, but don't plant
until the soil has first become warm
and dry.
Let the grassy seedlings grow un
til they are 2 to 3 inches tall, then
thin them out to an inch apart for
a starter, and as they approach edible
size, pull every other one as you can
use them, and leave the rest to ma
ture in the ground.
By supplementing onion sets with
onion seed a supply of young onions
from seed will be ready for the table
by the time green onions from sets
have been used up. Besides this, you
will be able to raise a few large
onions by leaving some to mature.
Onions need the richest and most
friable soil in the garden. It can't
be made too rich, and monthly ap
plication of plant food will add vast
ly to the harvest. They respond well
to cultivation.
Two or three rows of seed onions
will furnish an average family with
green onions for the whole summer,
and later will give a good supply of
1-inch size bulbs which are ideal for
boiling.

FPANK PARKE I
STOCKBRiPSl
DISCUSSION everywhere
Inthe past three weeks I have talk
ed with literally hundreds of the
best-informed men in the country.
They are the publishers and respon
sible editors of the nation's leading
newspapers. Each of them told me
the same story. From coast to coast,
the everyday people are discussing
the nation's political, economic and
social affairs with a degree of free
dom that has not been noticeable for
more than two years.
"The panic is over," said one.
"The blind fear of ruin has passed,
and with it has passed the willing
ness to follow anybody who pro
mised to lead them out of trouble."
The American people are still in
trouble, but they are discussing the
way out with clearer eyes and a bet
ter understanding, not only of the
causes of their troubles but of the
validity of the various plans offered
to alleviate them.
To my mind that is the most hope
ful sign of the times. America is
coming back to its own when its peo
ple begin to do their own political
thinking.
POLITICS the battleground
Anyone who wants to change con
ditions which affect any material
number of people must approach his
effort politically or he won't get to
first base. That is the American
methor. If he has the votes behind
him he can, perhaps, accomplish the
change he advocates; if he hasn't the
votes his hands are tied.
That is why Upton Sinclair and
Father Coughlin and Huey Long cut
such an important figure in present
day discussions of public affairs.
Each of them has a considerable body
of potential votes behind him. Upton
Sinclair had more than 800,000 vot
ers back of hi3 EPIC scheme in Cali
fornia; nobody can guess how many
Father Coughlin or Senator Long
might control, if it came to a show
down. The principal question raised in
political discussions today is wheth
er or not there will be a third party
ticket in the field in 1936, led by one
of the gentlemen just named or some
other radical. If such a third party
is launched it will draw votes from
among those who otherwise would
naturally support Mr. Roosevelt. He
will certainly be renominated, if he
lives, but has he such a solid block
of democratic partisans behind him
that he can win if the radical fringe
is trimmed off? Enough, for example,
to offset the 1Z million votes,
which the elections of 1934 demon
strated, stick to the republican party
through thick and thin?
PARTIES two or three
Until the present administration
in Washington, the main difference
between the republican and demo
cratic parties was ,jthat one was in
the seat of power and the other was
out. A man could bo a good re
publican and accept the democratic
platform of 1932, and vice-versa.
The vote that elected Mr. Roosevelt
was not so much pro-democratic as
it was a vote for change.
The acts and policies of the ad
ministration in the past two years
have made a real difference between
the two great parties. The demo
crats, throwing their platform over
board, embarked on policies which
sharply differentiate them from re
publicans, thus putting the republi
can party definitely on the conserv
ative side of the political fence.
The real political issue of 1936,
therefore, seems likely to be between
a distinctly conservative party and a
party which, if not definitely radical,
is at least tinged strongly with radi
calism. If the republicans try to in
troduce radical ideas, they will
again be indistinguishable from the
democrats. If the democrats swing
too far toward radicalism they will
lose great blocks of their conservative
voters; but if they do not, they are
threatened by a radical third-party
movement.
DEFINITIONS three classes
What, precisely, do we mean by
such terms as conservative, liberal
and radical?
A conservative, is, I think, a per
son who has become adjusted to his
environment, whatever that may be,
and who is able, therefore, to take
a detached view of the world and
its people. Such a person is opposed

to hasty change and unproved ex
periments. A radical, on the other hand, is
one who is finding trouble in fitting
himself into the social picture, and
wants to change the whole system,
in the belief that his troubles and
those of his fellows are due to faulty
organization of society.
A liberal, in the true definition
of the word, is one who is tolerant of
all beliefs and of all minorities and
especially of the rights of the indi
vidual man. He would neither sup
press those who disagree with him
nor exalt unduly and class or clique.
I know many conservatives who are
also liberals; I cannotimagine a rad
ical being- a liberal.
OUTLOOK real horse race
My belief is that there are more
conservatives among those who voted
the democratic ticket in 1932 than
anybody imagines. I believe, also,
that there is a much stronger ele
ment of liberals in the irreducible
minimum of 13 million republicans
than i3 generally thought.
I think that the ultimate aim of
all political parties and groups is the
same to find ways to accomplish
the greatest good for the greatest
number of people. The only real dif
ferences of opinion concern, not the
objectives, but the way of reaching
them.
