Friend Dvorak:
Can't hardly fail to
tell you how / enjoyed myself to-day.
1t really was the best Sunday / had
spent IN Europe. You might think
that { got drunk or had some big feed
but nothing of that sort happened as
I have M money to get drunk and
you might know yourself It's pretty
hard to get something to eat in Ger
many. But listen what happened,
It's something unusual in the army
"We had all day rest today. AS you
see we moved again last week from
the place where we were guarding
the railroad and arrived here in Beu-
rig last Friday. Saturday I was on
guard again, but i sure made up for
II today. Soon al dinner was yer l
l had my o%verc0at on, ready for a.
little journey. This place lies on the
left bank OF the river Saar and across
the River is another town Saarburg.
| Both Of these towns looks like one as
the only thing between them is the
river. The town itself don't amount
to much but the scenery around here
is wonderful. A friend of mine loan
ed me half Of a mark to buy this little
album which / am sending you. The
| ciUy you see on the first picture is
S~aarburg with the old Castell which
they claim Is owe ID hundred years
old. The French took 1t In 1910 and
| since then IL was not used for any
living purposes. The main building
Is In pretty good shape but the sur
rounding forts are all torn down. l
was clear on top of the tower and it
took me a while to climb up there but
1t was worth 1t as the scenery from
| there Is the best / ever saw. The
| hills you see around are used mostly
for raising grapes. Beurig Is across
the river where you can see part of 1t.
The building marked with a cross is
our company Hdq. Rest Of the views
are OF this neighborhood also but
can't tell you much about them az ]
did not have time to inquire. The
second shows the new church In Saar-
burg and the next n another Gas.
tie about 8 KIM from here. The fol.
lowing three could also be seen from
this place but / know nothing about
them. 1t surely was worth while to
come here in Germany. Think II
won't be very long before we go home
now SO will be able to tell you more
ahou' II then.
T. | get paid bef1re leaving here,
wilrget some better post cards and
maybe some other stuff that I could

much. Best regards to all Tabor

Received the copies OF
the Tabor independent and thank
you very much for your kindness.
Was going to write sooner but did
not have time as we were on the
hike for the last eight days Some
hike too, believe me. Made about
80 miles. Went thru Belgium,
don't remember how many towns
we passed on our way. Stopped
tere in Consdorf, Luxembourg.
We missed the Luxembourg city
about 6 kilometers. This place is
8 kim. from Dutch border. Think
we will start out tomorrow again

Pitu the PKaht of Gold

The country is asked by committee OF
government experts in mining and geology
reporting to the secretary of the interior, TO
shed few tears over the plight of gold and its
reduced output. which is viewed as a national
peril. Something must be done, is the conclu4
sion, but while the committee is conservative
enough to advise against bonuses on gold pro-
duetion, It warns up to proposals of war-tax
exemptions and the like.
Gold is mrch in the position of the person
living on a fixed salary or income. It's price
is established by law and never varies. 1t is
prosperous when the living costs of its mining
or the value of labor and commodities in rela-
ton to itself are low or falling, and It is in
hard times when labor and commodity prices,
as now, are high Accordingly at present the
activities of gold-mining companies are greatly
restrained for precisely the reason that the
amplitude Of the fxed-salaried persons living
is greatly restrained
But we hear of no movement at Washington
to abate the war income taxes for that salaried
person or people generally who suffer from the
high costs Of living; and until we. do, no great
amount of commiseraton for the kindred pow
erty of the gold-miner is likely to be excited,
The gold-miner will be asked to worry along
as most OF the rest Of us have to worry along
And emphasis will attend this request from the
fact that a great revival in gold production
could not but aggravate the price conditions
which worry most of us-New York World.

A hearing into farm conditions In
Massachusetts, revealed a large
amount of idle land in the state,
enough to make 1000 farms. One
active farmer testified that his
acres paid him an annual salary of
$4,000 and per cent on the invest
ment. His success is exceptional,
the bulk of the farmers lacking
energy, knowledge Of changing con-
ditions, and business get-up. Conse-
quently much land is on the market
plus the idle farms reported. The
object Of the hearing is to push New
England farms to the attention of

Case Of the Meat Packers.

1t was to have been expected that when the
meat packers came to give their side of the
story their statement would differ at most
points from that presented by the Federal
Trade commission and Mr. Heney. The pack
ers are averse to government control; Mr..
Heney is ambitious to induce the people to en-
gage in the provision business In following
the proceedings the reader is bewildered be-
cause of the wide divergence between the as
sertions made on either side One essential
point has not been given especial attention.
That is the presence in the meat bust
ness Of others than the so-called 'big fve,"
Independent packing firms. operate all over the
country, doing business that in the aggregate
makes most impressive showing, even when
set alongside the greatest of the big concerns
These enterprises are surely entitled to some
consideration No monopoly exists, and trad
ers at the stock yards know how often the ir-
dependent buyers take the price out Of the
hands Of the "big FIVE" and buy animals to suit
themselves. If the public is to be asked to, apS
prove of the government taking over the busis
ness of meat packing it should be informed in
advance Of all the facts in the case, and not be
given part truths after the act, as was done
with the railroads, the telegraphs, telephones
and cables.

into the fray, butted at the sergeant
but caught Johnny Bull instead and
back into the snowbank. Johnny
thought German had kicked him
and he was mad all over az he
climbed out of the snow.
One very pompous German officer
was guarding the gate to the corral.
He was angry at the soldiers for
being scared. Suddenly the key to
the corral was whisked out of his
hand, his hat was showed over his
eyes, he was whirled around, a liv-
ing battering ram landed on him
and a growing beast fastened itself
to his coat tails. The German Off
Ger suddenly concluded that place
wasn't bit healthy for him, and he
set off for Berlin at a pace which
made Johnny Bull clinging to his
coat, almost dizzy with the speed.
1t was Peggy and Billy Belgium,
invisible to the Germans, who had
played the pranks which had helped
so much to brighten the soldiers.
Now Billy Belgium fitted the key
into the lock of the corral and
swung open the gate. In swept

Where 'DemOcracy' Brings Confusion. :


Debate on the good roads bills before the
committee at Lincoln has developed that oppo-
sition to the plans proposed for this greatly
needed legislation turns on the control Of the
work. Reactionaries object to the state engi-
neer or road commissioner being given power
to designate what roads may be improved, or
what character of improvement shall be made
They contend that such a course would take
away from communities any voice in the en-
terprise, and prevent each road district from
having what it deems best for its own needs.
II the idea of these obstructionists is allowed
to prevail, il will defeat the purpose of a gem
eral good roads measure; uniformity could not
be secured under such auspices, either in ma
terial, design or construction. Instead of Ne
braska's having a comprehensive system Of
highways, constructed in pursuance of definite
plans unless an unusual spirit of cooperation
among the districts were manifest we will find
the money spent for patchwork of roads, en-
tirely lacking in coordination and Of minimum
rather than maximum service. Those who are
interested in the project Of proper highway con-
struction for Nebraska must watch carefully
this move to defeat their efforts under the
specious guise Of preserving local democracy"
in road districts.

40 Expedite the count q Votes.

Senator Taylor has brought forward a meas
ure at Lincoln that will be of interest to all
who have to do with collecting and compiling
election returns in Nebraska. It is that "dou-
bic election boards" shall be required to begin
the count of votes as soon as twenty-five bal
lots have been deposited. Under such an ar
rangemsnt the count Of the vote cast at any
election should be complete within a very few
minutes after the last ballot has been deposited,
and the general result made known much ear
lier than under present conditions The double
board was adopted for the purpose Of tighten
ing the work Of receiving and counting the
votes. but specific Instructions as to process Of
carrying out its work have not been made.
Under the Taylor proposal the board at each
polling place will be required under direction Of
the law to keep the work Of counting on
level with that Of receiving the ballots The
advantages Of this method are such as scarcely
to need explanation.

coMMoN SENSE OR BUNK

Why all this silly hubbuby at this time, over
the method Of sleeting delegates to the con-
Stitutionsl convention deereed BY voters Of Me-
braska at the last eleetonl
True the legislature is charged with enact
ing the needfui laws to provide for the meet
ing Of the eonstitution-makerS. bat the legis-
Iature s bound by the limitations in the present
constitution, and has little If any iseway or
discretion in the matter.
The constitution Of Nebraska, in the section
relating to amendment through constitutional
conyention, says in so many words.
~ 1.-THE convention shall consist Of as many
members Of the house Of representatives, who
shall be chosen in the same manner"
If the lawmakers observe their oath OF
Office to obey the constitution Of the state, how
can they provide for the election Of members
Of the constitutional convention in a manner
different from the methods observed in, their
own eleetionl
For ourselves, we would much prefer to
have portion Of the seats in the convention
filed by election of delegates to represent the
State at large, which Is done, for example, in
New York state, rather than have them all
chosen by legislative districts, but to demand
that now, in the face Of the constitutional
provision would be foolish, because useless.
To urge that the delegates to the conven-
ton be presented as "nonpartsans" rather than
as party nominees Is nothing but a piece Of
petty camouaage, unless It's advocates are
ready to go the whole length Of choosing mem
bers Of the legislature without reference to
party affliation. What difference is there be-
tween making the laws and making the con-
sttution in the matter Of party responsibility
except in degreef
And then, when we get that far, is there any
difference between the state legislature and the
national legislature, or any more or less reason
for electing congressman or senators as repub-
Leans or democrats instead of as pretended
nonpartisans1
The elimination Of partisanship may be all
right in judicial or purely administrative or
scientific fields, but give us rest on this "non-
partisan" bunk for Offices that are essentially
political, and therefore necessarily partisan.

WOOD
aiG FRUIT

m HE superiority Of Atwood
4 Grapefruit is not an acct
dent. From the first planting
the Atwood Grapefruit Co.
has sacrificed everything for
QUALITY. An initial expense
Of hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars was incurred, while
everything that scientific cuI-
ture and experience could
suggest was done to produce
QUALITY. Even then some
trees at maturity bore simply
good grapefruit, but not good
enough for the Atwood Brand.
These trees were cut down
and replaced by superior va
rieties.
So through selection and
cultivation has evolved the
delicious ATWOOD GRAPE.
