Last Friday being the first Friday of the month Mass was offered up as usual at 7:30 A. M. One would be surprised to know the large attend, anre ol our people that are Catholic. Our people are waking up to the fact that Christ instituted a church, and as it is quoted in the scriptares, "Christ, spoke unto his Apostles "Go Yo therefore into the world and preach and teach the Gospel to all Nation* as I have taught you.” Not Jewish teach Jewish. Irish teach Irish and Negro teach Negro, etc.—The Reman Catholic Church today still follow^ Christ's instructions. Every, one is always welcome. The church says all nations.

Bearer (For the Literary Service Bureau) Text: And he was angry and would not go in.—Luke 15:28. The prodigal has returned. The father is happy. The neighbors are rejoicing. The crowd is hilarious. The music is inspiring. But there is one discordant note. It is the growl, ing of the elder brother. He is sulk, ing. He refuses to go in. His fath. er remonstrates. The jealous jack, ass grinds his teeth and says, “I'll not go in. I hate that brother of mine. I’ve been here and never gave you any trouble, yet you never even gave me a kid for a feast with my friends.” The father is both aston. ished and grieved. He says sadly, “Why all I have is yours.” ? In application to the sinner and his relationship to Deity, the analogy fails here, for Christ is the Elder Brother. Man is the prodigal. In. stead of being jealous and resentful in regard to the Father’s love for man, the prodigal, He made it possi. ble for the sinner to come back to God; and He rejoiced. It was “For the joy that was set before Him”, that he made the tremendous sacrif. ice for man’s redemption. Wonderful the love, the sympathy, the compas. sion, the sacrifice of Jesus, the Elder Brother of mankind. And still He rejoices, “When a sinner comes to God.” NATIONALITY DAYS NEW FEATURE AT THE STATE FAIR Expect Thousands To Greet Old Friends Week of Sep tember 3-8 This year for the first time “Na tionality Days” will be celebrated at the Nebraska State Fair in Lin coln, the week of September 3 to 8, inclusive. Bands and organizations of the various nationalities have already signified their intentions of being present in large numbers on their respective day3, and it is expected that elaborate reunion plans will oe made. The opening day, Sunday, Sep tember 3, is Veterans Day. Vet erans of the Civil War, the Span ish-American and World Wars will congregate and re "aw friendships. Monday, ths second day of the State Fair, is Labor Day, and labor organizations throughout the state will join at the Fair Grounds in elebrating the occasion. This will be followed on Tuesday by Czechoslovakian Day. Wednesday, September 6, is Ger man Day, and Thursday has been set aside as Scandinavian Day and Pioneer Day. Thursday afternoon will also see the Grand Parade, “Nebraska State Fair On Wheels.” This will be presented before the grand stand, and will give a rapid-fire picture of the Fair, as the differ ent departments march or ride in a gala review. Friday. September 8, is the clos ing day of the 1933 Fair, and ap propriate celebration is being planned for the Grand Climax of Nebraska’s exposition. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happenings that affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Checks and 'Pax Bills1 of every individual. National and In. I ternational Problems Inseparable I from local welfare. * * * A short time ago the rules and re. (filiations of procedure under the new Federal Securities Act (designed to protect American Investors against worthless stock issues, dishonest and 'misleading investment claims) were made public. Restrictions are strict, definite, decisive. Underwriters must file with the Federal Commission full particulars before they can sell new securities. Statements will be studied by Commission accountants! thereof, ter the Commission may either per. mit the sale or cause the securities to be withdrawn. Registration state, ments will be open to public inspect, ion and copies will be furnished at moderate cost to interested parties. Any sales prospectus issued by tbe security sellers must likewise be fil_ ed It will be studied with a view to determine whether it omits any in_ formation necessary to decide the value of the offering, whether it is misleading, not sufficiently clear, etc. In case radio broadcasts are to be used in promotion these, too, must be given Commission approval. A large amount of technical information will be required by the Commission when registration is made. It includes: Names and addresses of all persons owning more than ten per cent of any class stock of the security issue re_ muneration exceeding $25,000 paid by the 3tock_issuer during past year and to director officer; borne by a regis. tration fee of one.hundredth of one per cent of the maximum aggregate price at which the securities are pro. posed to be offered. Thus, the new bill is more sweep, ing in its requirements than any •similar measure we have ever known. The strictest state “blue sky” law pales by comparison. What effect so drastic a law will have on legitimate promotions where there i-3 room for honest difference of opinion in mak. ing statements and reports, remains to be seen. * * * As the always vivid Frank Kent said in the Baltimore Sun; the extra, ordinary thing of the moment is that : recovery has come before the recov. | ery program has gotten started. None I of the three billion public works del. lars have been spent. The first agree, ment under the Industrial Control Act has just been signed, and has not yet had time to produce results. The vast farm plan is still in the pros, pective stage. Yet business is looking up—all kinds of businesses, in all parts of the country. The p3ycholo_ gical effect of bills designed to aid recovery unquestionably were a fact, or in getting wheels in motion. Domestic prices recently reached the highest level in close to two yeara. Current upward movement has been the best sustained in more than a de_ cade. In 66 business day3 the Dow Jones average of 40 corporation bonds rose 14.33 to 87.86. Particular busi. ness item3 of interest follow: POSTAL RECEIPTS — Reports from 50 cities show improvement of 13.65 per cent in June as compared I with previous June. BANK DEPOSITS — Substantial gains made in second quarter. POWER PRODUCTION—Is male, ing steady and sharp advances. CAR LOADINGS — About 25 per cent better than last year at this time. RAILROAD EARNINGS — Ex. penses are down and gross revenue up, presaging greatly improved net income showings. STEEL—At highest point since April; 1931, exceeding 50 per cent fo capacity. WHOLESALE PRICES — Steady advances registered week by week. Recent gains included farm products, fuel, lighting, metals, building mat. erials household goods, etc. STOCK OF GOODS—Stock of fin. iahed goods in hands of distributors are still low, and active demand will be reflected in restocking. EMPLOYMENT PAYROLLS — Showed moderate increases recently. More aggressive advances expected in near future. * * * They’re beginning to talk already about the next Congress, which con. venes January 3rd for its first regular session. Tax changes, reciprocal tariffs, j bankruptcy revision, veterans bene. | fits, war debts—here are a few of the! principal economic_social subjects that will be thrashed out. It is an open secret that Mr Roosevelt is not through with his program — he got much out of the last Congress, and he will ask much from the next. He will doubtless have introduced a sweep, ing, revolutionary banking bill, which will eliminate state and private banks. Another prospective proposal of vast importance is a transportation act to bring railroads, highway carriers, barge.lines and air vehicles under centralized regulation. Again, it is believed that the securities bill, dras. tic as it is, will be made still more rigid and fool.proof. “FOLLY TO BE WISE?" By R, A. Adams (For the Literary Service Bureau) Men often prate “Tis folly to be wise, Where ignorance is bliss," and thus devise Excuses vain for failure te pursue With diligence, the way of wisdom true. But folly is the part of these who choose The way of darkness, and the light refuse, And, counting wisdom a most sense, less thing, Refuse to drink from the “Pierian Spring.” All who Have unto eminence attained, Reached such by knowledge arduously gained. Evincing thus it hath been said amiss, “Folly te know, where ignorance is bliss." Scorn cynics who such fallacies pro. claim; Such foolish axiom contemn, disdain, For, whether men deny it, or confess, Never did ignorance bring happiness. “SHIP BY RAIL” The Chamber of Commerce of St. Johns ville, New York, has adopted a plan for rehabilitating the railroads which is unique in its common^sense simplicity. The plan can be expressed in three one_3yllable words: “Ship bv rail.” As the St. Johnsville News and Ob_ server points out, the people of this community have no quarrel with othe^ forms of transport. But they know something about the railroads. They know that in normal times they are the greatest single employer and pur_ chaser of supplies of all kinds. They know that scores of related industries depend on the railroads for all or part of their income. They know that the rails are major taxpayers. They know they have led in industrial and social developments in all parts of the country, ever since the last spike was driven that connected the East with the West. They k'ow that billions of dollars of life insurance, savings bank and private citizen’s earnings are invested in railroad bonds. They know that subsidized competition, and one sided regulation, have deprived the rails of much of their business and forced them near to bankruptcy. The attitude of mind of the Johns, ville people is of vast importance. They are to be congratulated—they know an industry whose existence is in the public interest, when they see one. BEER VS. BREAD by R. A. ADAMS (For the Literary Service Bureau The most glaringly inconsistent contention of Mr. Roosevelt and the law makers at Washington is the ill. ogical situation created by legalizing beer. The claim is that this will bring a revenue of one hundred fifty millions to the federal treasury to help balance the budget. But rightly considered there will be no possible gain. Rathr there will be a terrible loss! Beer is the poor man’s drink. This one hundred fifty millions will be taken from the poorest of the labor, iag men. To this add the brewers’ profits, that of the middle men and the retailers, the money given to the railroads for transportation of beer, and will be somewhat apparent the enormous amount to be taken from people, for which they will receive confusion, brawls, hunger poverty and suffering. There will be spent for beer, mil. lions which the people need for bread. Roosevelt was elected because the people were hungry and believed a change would give them bread, but their president has given them beer instead. The more beer they have the less bread. Have Your Notary Public Work Done at The OMAHA GUIDE Office Local Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are the only principles which will stand the acid test of good citizenship in time of peace, war and death. (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc ery stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, lh fact- every concern which we sup- + port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res pectably. We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in to lives of shame. (2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage to our public corporations such as railroad companies, the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company, | the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and other establishments which we are forced to support by right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re turn for the taxes we pay in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment ©f a first class hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us, also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurse training. (4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit izens in our public or private places of business, especial ly on street cars. If we are to be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places where we are con stantly before the public’s eye. (5) A one hundred per cent membership in fhe Om aha branch of the NAACP. should be bad to encourage the efforts put forth by the founders of the organization and to assist the general office to establish a five miHion dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses and to further the principles of the NAACP. AH peo ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of interracial r«U (6) The re-establishment of the Christian Religion as Christ taught it, for the uplifting of mankind, elimin ating financial and personal gain.

This, we be lieve win make men and women think before marrying. (14) We must become owners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its affairs, a salary thajfc will at-^ and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of tract men of high calibre. National (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill and thus stop the shamful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational system that every child must have a high school education. (4) Assist in the furtherance of research by our scientists and historians to prove that civilization was first founded in Africa. (5) Establish a political influence which will bring about our pro-rata of higher appointments made by our chief executives. (6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal Law making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenth® of the world’s population. They must be taught that color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this world has ever known. (8) Cut down congressional representation from the Southern States in proportion to the number of vo cast. The OMAHA GUIDE will put forth its best efforts to bring about the above 22 points with the assistance of those who believe it is for the best interest of good Amer ican citizenship.
