A VOICE FROM THE PAST.

Oh. David, art thou still alive, and art
though still minated?
For this, my opportunity. l. many months,
have waited;
And now that this years numbers divisibis
by four.
I hope to hit the trail that leads unto
thy cottage door.
I'll jump my Job and come to you and
peel your daily spuds.
I'll mend your socks and chop your hash
and patch your threadbare duds;
I'll bring my cat and parrot, dear, to make
complete our home
And in the summer swat the flies from
off your shining dome.
I'll bid adieu to leg-o-lamb and sirloin
steak and rush
All blissfully to thee to share thy bowl Of
milk and mush;
I'll make my gowns Of gunny-sacks, my
hats Of plated straw,
And plant the bestest garden, dear, the
best you ever saw.
And you can hustle for the coin to pay
the H. C. L.
And 1t won't take one e-twsnty five q month
here let me tell,
And ] will run to light your pipe At eve
when you come homo
And otherwise inspire Your pen to write
q clever pome.
And-well--er-say-o Top, will you on
me your name bestow?
It's Leap Year and I've made the leap
say, II 1t yes or NOT

Nebraska's National Guard.

The effort set on foot some time ago to re-
organize the Nebraska National Guard is
languishing locally. Just what the cause for
this may be is not so important as the fact it.
seH or that no good reason occurs to The Bee
Wy il should be so. Whether the army re-
ertarization bill in its present form goes
Through OF not and without regard to another
Msasurc that looks to the adoption of an
universal training system, the need for the state
roops still exists. These bodies are finally the
backbone Of any national army that may be
called into existence. Guard organizations, with
Ithe regular army forces, form its nucleus on
which the big army will be set up. All this is
elementary. Omaha is entitled to and should
have : battalion of infantry, we'll drilled, dis
gciriined and equipped. The men are available,
but they need encouragement. An armory
should be provided, and other arrangements
Msds to the end that the Guard will not only
have headquarters. but the men who serve will
not DO 90 at expense to themselves. Funds to
equip the companies with arms, uniforms and
ether sssentials are available. Somebody
should give the movement q little push for
ward and set it on the way to success.

Ex.Gob and the Bonus.

Sutton, Neb., March s.--To the
Editor of The Bee: Having been
particularly attracted by an article
on the front page Of your worthy
paper of March 4 relative to the
proposed financial relief Of ex-serv.
ice men, am prompted to express
the sentiment which I believe to
be prevailing throughout the Amer.
lean Legion.
1t appears that an ex.service man,
a Mr.. Walter w. Burns, former ar
tillery captain, contends that a
money handout," as he terms it.,
would be simply thrown away"
No doubt MIR. Burns Is not in
need of financial assistance. Any
man with the ability to command
a captains commission necessarily
needs no money handout" wager
he will not refuse one. The privates
of the army and the "gobs" of the
navy, who received the meager sum
Of 80 odd dollars per month could
not LAY by" any vast amount, and
! am certain that any bonus will be
welcomed by us all, and the ma
jorfty OF us will use it to good ad-
vantage.
We left good positions. good farms,
homes and mothers to do our bit,
returning to find our positions and
farms being occupied by some
Stacker" who by his cunning
evaded the service, and then we
wonder, chow do they do it?"
Some Of us would quickly take
hold OF the reclamation land being
offered by the government, but are
unable to make the necessary cash
deposit. Representative Garner Of
Texas says that not former service
man in his district had written him
in favor Of the proposed financial
relief. Must we, upon bended knee,
beg our government for a small
compensation? We are too proud
for such action. Possibly Mr.. Gar.
ner,s district was poorly represented
IN the war or they knew It would
avail them nothing to write him,
Granted that money handout,"
using Mr.. Burns term, would in a
few, cases be thrown away, then the
$50 they received in the service was
also thrown away, because a few
days. Outlines only few hours after
being paid the "guy" skilled in the
art of shooting craps" had all the
available cash in the company. If
1t be throwing money away to give
us financial relief then Uncle Sam
threw away much when he paid
many OF US. Mr.. Burns also con.
tends that having fought to defend
this country was sufficient reward.
Mentally, we are rewarded; we are
proud that We could be of service,
but 1 wonder If Mr., Burns, in view
Of the high cost OF living. can exist
on his mental satisfaction? Out
here in Nebraska we can't. How
about the men incapacitated by the
war, with arms OF legs missing, or
possibly both? How are you going
to reward them? 1t can not be
done with a little bonus, but it will
help.
We who defended "Old Glory" by
serving our country in the time of
need are too proud to beg for that
financial relief, but we need it, we
want. and trust that we shall re-
ceive it. EX-GOB.

BY GRANT NJ. HYDE.

BY GRANT N. HYDE.
Every time l watch a moving
picture, Daddy, ! wonder what
makes the pictures move. But every
one whom I ask laughs at me and
says that ought to know.
IF you were little older, you
would know, for when the moving
picture was invented few years ago
il was so wonderful that almost
everyone knew how ii worked. And
in the early pictures 1t was not so
hard to see how it was done because
tine pictures fickered so that they
gave the secret away.
"A motion picture is series of
thousands OF photographs, taken an
instant apart and each just little
different from the next, thrown be-
fore you one after another, SO fast
and so perfectly that they melt into
one picture and make you think that
you are watching one picture in
which persons are moving. Each
picture in the camera is about as
large as a special delivery postage
stamp, and hundreds of them are
taken, one above the other, on a
long strip of celluloid. This strip is
called a 'film'-that is why movie
plays are called film plays The
film that can be rolled on one big
camera spool is called reel and
so we speak of two-reel and FIVE
reel plays because of the amount of
film used in showing them.
"The moving picture camera is
complicated affair, with two film
reels, crank and an automatic shut
ter. As the camera man takes the
picture he turns the crank to wind
the film from one reel to the other;
and, as he cranks, the film passes
in front Of shutter that keeps open
ing and closing to take different
picture on each inch of film, so many
per second. Then the film is taken
to laboratory to be developed. An
other film, or positive, must be
printed from it, just as we print ko-
dak pictures. :,
"In the theater the film is cranked
again. The protector, or lantern.
has two reels, like the camera, and
the cranking, which is now usually
done by an electric motor, brings
the pictures one after another be-
tween a powerful light and lens.
They are thus magnifed to large size
and thrown on a screen in rapid sue
cession. In early moving pictures
the change from one picture to the
next resulted in a noticeable flicker
on the screen, but improved cameras
and projectors have practically done
away with the flicker and you can no
longer count the pictures as they
are thrown before you."

Nebraska Senator Unduly Disturbed.

IF the people could be given full and fair
opportunity to express their choice for presi-
dent in the way Of a presidential primary" says
Senator Norris in his feryent eulogy of Hiram
johnson, "he would be overwhelmingly nomi-
mated"
If that is all, the senator may cease from
troubling In every congressional district in the
NORTH including those of Nebraska, republicans
will have full opportunity to register their
wishes-either directly OF through the election
of delegates. The money devil and the ma
chine may go hang.
Airs we'll. If Senator Norris guess at the
sentiment of the common people is correct, the
California Hercules will 60 galumphing straight
to the nomination. Therefore, senator, smile,
darn il, smile!

your business out in our section Of
town next year"
Dick was talking to the manager
of the laundry which did his fam
ily's washing. He knew what he
was talking about too. He had had
laundry agency in the town in
which he had formerly lived, but
had been forced to give it up when
his family moved.
Dick got the job and made his
word good, too. But if he hadn't
landed that one, he would have got
ten some other kind of an agency. A
laundry agency was not the only
kind he knew about He would
have landed a job selling ice cream,
books, aluminium wear, magazines,
extracts, spices, or any one of a
number of other articles. And he
would have made quite a bit of
money at it, too, in his spare time.
So can you if you 60 after it.

SIMS SERIOUS DISCLOSURES.

Il may be assumed with reasonable safety
that the secretary of the navy will interpose as
defense to the charges made by Admiral Sims
that the whole thing turns on a question of
Judgment. Even with this admitted the ugly
fact remains that the Navy department had not
made preparations and did not appear to realize
TIE gravity Of the situation So thoroughly had
tie paeihst doctrines permeated all the admin
i&trative as we'll as executive departments of
TIE government that even after war had been
declared, the stern business of getting ready
was delayed in hope that some miracle would
intervene to save our participation.
In the summer of 1916 the mobilization of
the National Guard was ordered, for no ex-
pfessed reason, ostensibly however, to overawe
Mexico by parade in force along the border
Ihe real reason seems to have been to give
Germany an idea of what sort of force we were
pfepared to put into the field. A mobile trained
a$my Of 100000 men would have then been
valuable addition to the forces in France, and
ID presence here might serve as warning to
~ kaiser Of what would happen were he to
ptsss America too far. The fasco is too we'll
kS1wn now to need rehearsing. Failure in
tbs brought the actual declaration of war, and
the illy-concealed hope that the prospect of
Americas coming in would decide the Ger
mans to ask for terms
On no other grounds can be explained the
delay practiced by both the War and Navy'd
pSttments. Josephus Daniels has boasted that
tn navy was ready; but he held it back at a
time when its presence in the eastern Atlantic
might have shortened the war by many
Hionths and have saved thousands of lives. Sec
rssAfy Baker visioned the war as 5000 miles
away and acted As If influenced by the de-
rnands that we refrain from fighting until the
Hume sought to land on our coasts.
The Sims disclosures are conclusive of the
dijatory tactics pursued at Washington, the
lukewarm attitude of the commander toward
the great enterprise, and challenge the sincerity
of our government in all its bold professions.
The people should know how to reward such
stewardship

Impressive Farm Figures.

More than 3O,000,000 Of the
people of the United States live on
farms. This means that nearly one.
third OF the population Of the entire
country are counted as farmers.
However, the farming interest is not
comprised entirely of those who
actually live on farms. About 40
per cent of the farms In the United
States are rented, and great many
of the owners live in cities or viii.
lagos. The value of farm property
in 1910 was approximately SAL.
600, 900, 900, or more than the capital
of all the manufacturing esta ablish-
ments, railways. mines and quarries
in the entire country. OF course the
amount Of capital invested in farm.
ing is constantly increasing. 1t is
estimated that the value Of farm
property in 1919 was valued at more
than $51,000.000,O00. - Hastings
