dealing with the financial problems

concede that Nebraska communities

have been followed. arc so hard hit
financially that great and wholesome
elimination is Necessary.
Poor Service Costly.
"Whatever q community needs. il

expense OF providing good roads, but
VIXEN Il takes twice as many horses
to haul half the load on the poor
road thsi il takes on a good one,
the community is paying for it just
the same.
THE question. after all, is not how
high taxes are, so long as the figure
is within reason, but whether the
money raised 10 wisely and efficiently

the community on a higher plane.

man thru the Columbus schools. and

Less Fads in Schools"
II will stake my reputation upon
the proposition that we will find in
finitely more fads and useless things
in the business houses than in the
schools. Why do drug stores sell
lip-sticks, face powder, and the like?
Simply because there isa strong pub

ticles. Why do the schools super

For exactly the same reason-there
