greeted the Roosevelts on the farm. The girls, Gus's severest critics, may veto the idea.
 Before Sumnick left the farm on trip to his native Germany three years ago the girls cautioned him about leaving his spoon in his cof- fee cup and other breaches of eti- quette. When he returned, he ex- hibited proudly a photograph of himelf taken over there. On a table was his coffee cup and in the cup-sticking up plainly-was the spoon Sumnick confesses that brought lecture from the girls.
 But he doesn't mind them. Pe- riodic lectures" are all a part of keeping big family happy, he says. Both MT. and Mrs. Sumnick think that rearing a large family is an easy matter.
 Everyone ought to have big family; it's much easier that way says the little Scotch Irish mother.

LOO, Neb., Dec. IT. Road maps will provide ample reading matter for the 13 Sum- hicks when snow drifts choke the rolling gravel lanes traversed by Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt and his party during gay campaign interlude-a visit to the Sumnick farm.
 For the current family slogan is "On to Washington" and tn 2 group will be as busy as bees on snowed-in winter days making plans to return the Roosevelt social call.
 Fall work on the l,200 acres owned by 66-year-old Gus Sumnick has been too heavy to permit plan ming actual details of the trip. But

 Sure" agrees Gus. If you hay; one or two you've got to keer watching them all the time Witt a lot of them you don't have to dc that. If one of ours does anything wrong, you ought to hear the others light into him. We don't have to worry"
 And the Sumnicks don't need to worry They have so much fun at home that none has married, all except the two youngest have been graduated from Waterloo High School, some have gone through college, and all are willing helpers about the farm.
 Sumnick was born in Germany, but came to the United States when he was 19 He has been a Democrat since the day he landed in Nebraska to work for an uncle as a hired man.
 Thrifty ways and hard work paid him well, for since his marriage in 1895 he has seen his original 16O acres grow to 1900, with the total almost free of debt.
 The visit of the Roosevelt party last September was about as high an honor as Gus could imagine. Hazel, whose doughnuts are about the best in Douglas County, and Helen, prize cake baker, pitched in with the rest of the women folks and a number of neighbor women several days before the visit to prepare the 40 chickens and the mountain of food fed the party

 Of course the auto trip can not he made until Roses school lets out. She teaches a half mile down the road from the farm home south of here.
 Then, too, the girls must have time to get their wardrobes in shape, the boys will have to be fit- ted out with new suits and Gus himself will have to lay in a supply of cigars to cut up and smoke in his old pipe.
 Pipe May Prove Troublesome
 That pipe may prove a bone of contention in the family circle. Gus may want to smoke it in the White House as he did when he

Wasn't it grand" was Gus's comment after the affair was over.
 The trip to the White House won't be all just fun for this suc- cessful Nebraska family His 46 years on the land have endowed him with a knowledge of farm problems, and he has definite ideas for their solution that he would like to impart to his friend, the President.
 Gus feels certain that he will find an attentive listener, for while greeting the Roosevelts at the farm he found them both able ito use plain farm talk with us."

 The White House trip was the future Presidents idea, and Gus accepted avidly. After he and Mrs. Roosevelt had finished a chicken dinner cooked on the Sumnicks's big kitchen range the Democratic Presidential nominee invited the

enough even in these days Of grim financial

sell their works. The water colorist John
