Today oft <ind Power fid. A Genuine Miracle. He Head Darwin— Our Comic Armada. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. v------j Stanislaus Zbyszko, Polish wres tler, wins a match against “Rig” Wayne Munn in two straight falls. And Zbyszko is 56 years old. His power helps you to under stand how “the old man" in the cave days could drive the young men away from the valley and over 1he mountains to seek their for tunes and their wives, keeping the young women for himself and thus preventing too much inbreeding. If men today led a sane life, they would he stronger at 60 than at any earlier age, physically as well as mentally. Whiitaver you think of old-fash ioned miracles, you can't dispute the miracles of science. A doctor consulted by a patient a thousand miles away, ordered an X-ray of the patient's hand. In seven min utes the X-ray photograph of the hand, showing the bones, cartilages, etc., was sent over the telephone wire from the patient in New York to the doctor in Chicago. Suppose anybody had predicted that 50 years ago. And 200 years ago, if the thing had been done, everybody concerned would have been locked up, accused of witch craft. Russell Scott, a very young man, would have been executed in Chi Thursday except for a post ponement. While waiting to be ex ecuted Sc.ott was working at a cross-word puzzle and working the dials of a radio machine, smoking cigarets to soothe himself. A stock and bond salesman, be fore he took to robbery and murder as a short cut to weath—this man puzzles reporters. He refuses re ligious consolation, telling Sisters of Charity that call upon him, “You know, sisters, I am afraid I have read too much. If I have any re ligion, it is that of Darwinism.” A Mohammedan would urge this young man to turn to Allah, as his glorious prophet. A primitive Pata gonian would advise him to make his peace with Setebas. And a man front Thibet would tell him to rely on the Dalai Llama and a good "prayer mill.” Many good men will say. “Ah, Darwinism, there you have the se cret of the young man’s downfall.” Darwin, however, never commit ted robbery or murder and didn’t recommend either. The trouble with this young man is not too much reading or knowing too much, but too little reading and knowing too little. Our great fleet of battleships, cruisers, etc., are carrying on “mimic warfare” in the Pacific ocean. The theory is that every body is trying to take the Hawaiian Islands from us and we are trying to prevent it. Theoretically our great battle ships that cost $50,000,000 or $60, 000,000 apiece, and become almost immediately obsolete, are winning wonderful victories •over the imaginary enemy. If we really had a war in the Pacific, some well-equipped Asiatic power saying, “You won't let us have a slice of California, so we take Hawaii,” what would really happen? The imaginary Asiatic power, possessing common sense and mod ern flying machines, both of which our army and navy - lack, would send over flying machines, sink our glorious $50,000,000 battleships, cruisers and other floating .iunk. Then, under protecting “barrage” from the sky, they would send troops and more fliers and planes in big freight ships and ask, “What are you going to do about it?" The Chicago Public Library seeks to discourage the reading of trash, and that is useful, if you define correctly the word “trash.” Young minds, like young stomachs, need food easily absorbed. You don't feed tough beefsteak to a six-month old baby or give “hard books” to a 12-year-old child. Many parents, underestimating the intelligence of children and oth ers, don’t realize that what a child reads and hears between 7 and 15 years of age, does more than all else, except heredity, to decide the child’s future success and value. r - A boy or girl of 10 will take more interest in old English ballads, tell ing about Robin Hood or the battle of Chevy Chase, than in some trash -“story.” A 10-year-old girl will read the story of Oliver Twist. Ivanhoe. or the gopd old-fashioned “Little Women.” And such books will make her a better woman and a better mother. Literary trash is the curse of the young mind today, as food trash is the curse of the stomach. Doctors announce that prohibi tion is causing insanity. “Wild bootleg drinking parties are given. They tear down the mental fiber and directly eause in sanity.1’ Prohibitionsits presumably will reply, “Don’t blame prohibition. Anybody that would drink bootleg whisky must be crazy to begin with.” <<’f»p> right, 191’o.) Plalte Valley Legion W il Charier Train Special OUpiltrli 14i Tlie Omaha lies. Bridgeport. Neb., April 17.

Cities of State Reflect Prosperity Here Hankers Look to Last lo Place I heir Xloncv as Borrow ing by Farmers Falls Sharply. (Bj n "Muff Correspondent.) Gothenburg. Neb.. April 17.—The briskness of prosperous times is in! evidence among the business men and farmers of Gothenburg and the sur rounding country. Business is good, and the outlook for the future Is bright. The air of prosperity was readily j noticeable Tuesday, when a convoca tion of Scottish Hite Masons was held here. The delegates came from Has tings, North Platte, Cambridge, Ar nold, Cossad, Iexlngton and Omaha, and they found Gothenburg full of animation and bustling with business. Among all those gathered not a moan* wan heard. Bankers said the only problem before them is to em ploy the money farmers and stock raisers are putting into tlie banks. Very little borrowing is being done by the farmers. Consequently the banks are again buying eastern coin-; mereKl paper that the money in their charge may he kept at work. This) report does not apply to Gothenberg alone, hut to all that region. Countryside Bright. Drive into the country around the mty. and reasons fur the prosperity; may he noted. Immense fields stretch away in all directions, bright with the vivid green of healthy winter wheat or the softer hue of equally healthier alfalfa. In other fields tractors aie snorting back and forth, dragging the discs that prepare the corn land fori listing. Here and there teams of six big horses, such as once * drew the “brewer s wagon.” tug and strain as they pull a heavy breaking plow through tho tough sod. v More land is being made ready! to raise more crops to sell for more money to put into the hanks to buy; more commercial paper. The farm-j ers out there are not only feeding the] nation, hut are providing much of its capital to operate on. South of the Platte river the but*; tom land is a rich but narrow strip, running bm.k an average of three miles to the high bluffs. On the north a fat table land stretches for! many miles. Irrigating ditc hes cross j this, providing supplemental water to, piece out the rainfall, making a crop a certainty. A great federal project is under consideration. If it goes] through, the tillable acreage will be | about doubled. Gothenburg Good Example. Gothenburg displays tlie* activities of a city many times its size in pop ulation. Water and light are provld ed from cit?-owned plants. A splendid auditorium and theater is owned ky the city. Permanent curbs are being set. the in taut ioq being to pave the main streets of the town. Excellent hotels accommodate an army of trav eling salesmen, who moke the town ♦heir headquarters. The citizens are getting ready b vote money to erect a high 8* ho«.! building at m coat of $177.,0©n. Henu-j liful homes with spacious lawns, avenues lined with trees, a country club with an 1 vhole golf course, o fine little lake, where tourists arc provided with a camp ground, and where bath houses invite swimmers. A eity" park with a band stand, and a band to furnish concerts during tho sunuper. Not a sign. Keep Off the Grass,” but many that say. ” Wel come." That’s Gothenburg. A real cure for that tired feeling. 1“The Individual and His Plan” Thi« subject will be discussed by * Rev. Ralph E. Bailey At the j First Unitarian Church !

"[ have set out to clean up this liquor docket and will not stop until I have completed my job.” Both Kinsler and Beal attempted to set a date in the future for the trial, but Judge Woodrough refused to consider any date and said he would set one when the liquor docket was cleaned up. Following his decision, Samardick pleaded with him to set an early date for the trials, stating the pending charges against hint were causing him a great d£al of inconvenience.
