Now. let me think. Did Little
Jack Rabbit finish telling about
Rabbitville in the last story? Well
| can't quite remember but l do know
the rabbit king said:
You are q very interesting bunny
If YOU will stay with me- will make
YOU Seneschal of my castle"
no. thank YOU" answered Little
Jack Rabbit, I'D rather travel, for
4 am a hometloving bunny lad,
IN never make my mother sad,
But, oh, the wonderful things I've
seen
When I met the beautiful Fairy
Queen,
And Merry Laugh, the Giant big,
And the little dwarf man with the
magic sprig.
I've seen the face Of the Man in the
Moon
And met the dish that ran after the
spoon.
Oh, many a dangerous deed I've done
But, goodness me, l haven't begun

SOMETHING NEEDING TO BE
SAID

Governor Baxter, addressing the
| automobilists, said several things
which need to be said. Among these
was that about the tax which We pay
to the Federal Government from in
comes and inheritances of which
only about fifteen per cent finds its
way back into Maine. We talk glibly
of Federal aid for our roads, for our
forests, for our health, for our
schools and for any old thing which
may occur to the fertile ina gination
of those who want a Federal job, s
though it were money falling into
Names lap, whereas it is but a small
part of that which the Federal Gov
eminent took from her stocking. 1t
Will not be to our credit if we con-
tinue permitting further excuses for
doing this.
The Governor also from out his
| experience found occasion to say a
! good word for the Highway Commits
sion, for our system Of highways, for
| me integrity mat mas characterized
! the work. What he said should like
' wise help to think straight about
! gravel roads; also something might
/ further be said about the iniquity of
+ putting bond money into temporary
construction and repairs, the need of
| paying as We go for such work.

Omaha's Hog Butchering
More Profitable Than
Los angeles Hollywood

Here Is n comparison Of the
greatness Of Omaha and Los
Angeles.
The packing industry Of Omaha
each year equals the motion picture
bushes OF Los Angeles, each In
dustry being somewhat In excess Of
$3.50, 100000 a year.
The packing industry attracts
beef and brawn, however, while
the motion picture business at
tracts blondes and brunetts.
Montagu Hancock of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce points out,
however, that in the long run the
Drawn earns more spending money
than the beauty Of the girls who
flock 10 the motion picture center.
Hence, he declares, tn packing In
dmstry is ~ more value than the
cinema business.

A strange malady has struck the
little town OF Scsftsbluff. away out in
the extreme western part OF the state.
Men and women walk dazedly about
the streets, their eyes glazed and
their lips moving. They mutter words
that sound like pung and dragon and
jongg. and they wave their arms
aimlessly. A noticeable feature OF
the malady IL the increase In the chop
suey joints in the city. AT first IL
was thought that drinking double
distilled extract Of fermented sugar
beet juice was responsible, but that
was q mistake. 1t In now pretty GER
tain that the malady IL caused by the
importation OF an insidious Chinese
concoction.
While In a certain western Nebraska
town the other day took advantage
of the opportunity TO investigate the
coal situation. Two carloads of 'Bry.
an coal' had previously been distrib-
uted and two more cars had Just
come In. One purchaser declared It
was fine coal; another said he would.
MT haul another ton away as n gift.
One said he got cheaper heat; another
said It really cost him more. There
were az many opinions. almost. as
there were individual buyers. One 10
cal dealer had procured a lump OF the
first shipment. He weighed II before
witnesses. Twelve days later II had
diminished a fraction more than 19
per cent in weight. owing TO evapor-
alton Of moisture content, and had

Women Not to Lose
P arty Influence
Repeating Act of Democratic
Legislator Confuses County
Party Organization.

THE repeal of Section 2165 wiped
out the mandatory equal representa-
ton of men and women on county
central committees" said Robert
Smith. of the republican central COM
mittee OF Douglas county. last night.
However, we have left the provision
for the election of delegates TO the
county conventions. The county CEN
trail committees will as usual allot the
representation in the various pre-
cincts. Precinct candidates may then
file, whether men or women. All that
has been lost Is the provision for dual
representation of men and women on
county committees. Under the new
arrangement the two highest candi-
dates in the primary whatever their
sex, viii become precinct delegates TO
the county convention.
These will constitute the county
which has power to ere
ate the party central committee for
the county. There is no doubt thtt
even though the law does not compel
IL, the county convention will select
an equal number of men and women
to. the county central committee.
Lincoln, Dec. AT the last session
OF the legislature. b. S. Keck. demo-
cratic representative from Polk coun-
ty. pushed through a bill repeating
the provision compelling equal repre-
sentation of men and women on
county committees.
What his object was is not known.
hut the opinion here in the capitol Is
that his action has left Nebraska with
out provision by law for the election
OF members OF county committees.

Bryan Says Powerless

Lincoln, Dec. 3.-Governor Bryan
announced today that he was power
less to remove Sheriff c. d. Quinton
OF Cass county following his indict-
ment by n grand jury. The governor
claims the law enacted by the 1928
legislature authorizing the chief exec
utive TO suspend elective officials
charged with failure to enforce the.
law and appoint temporary officials
in their place. is not applicable to the
case of Sheriff Quinton.
