tn whistles stopped, n bells begar
to ring. Why do folks invnt al
these noise makers? Why a fellow
just can't sleep at all.
I gave up. There wasn't n use
tryin' 10 sleep in all this rackt so
just lay thinking Of all the thinks
was going to do while | was at home {.
I'd been kept SO blsy til last fw years
making new friends that I'd lost
track of a lot of my old ones and |
deuided right then and there We
were going to have a reunion. Well,
eventually, we had IT, and if you
don't think W had a fine time, try one
of these littl affairs yourslf and see
is I'm mistaken.
What a splndid idea that picnic for
the old colored people at Elmwood
was the other day. For a whole
year those aged people will dram of
tn happinss of that one day and long
for the time a year hence when they
will again assemble on a like occas
sion. While we are enjoying our
own vacations, isn't it a consoilng
thought to think that we have helped
to bring into tn lives of others a lit
tie of the happinss W ourselves en-
Joy. Pleasure divided is multiplied
a hundrd fold.
Here's my last vacation hint.
Have you ever fully realized the pos
sibihties for a thoroughly god time
right here at home? 1t always
seems a little strange to me that
folks are willing to spend money and
travel long distances to enjoy many
of the same pleasures that we have
so near at hand.
Hire are a few of the placs / would
like to have you see during your stay
at home vauation. If you r fortu
nate enough to own a car take a trip
to Bllevue, the historical old town
built on the banks of the Missouri.
From there it's but a short distance
to Fort Crook. On your way home
rtop at Mandan Park, that delightful
pcnic spot whre the young find 70
nance and the old deep contentmnt
in the silent woods and the craggy
heights.
Theree are so many placs all around
us where one may fish, swim and pic
mic. If you like motoring, drive
along tn river road, where tall trees
interlace their branuhes and cast
deep shadows upon tn winding road
beneath.
AS a fitting close to your vacation,
seek out the hills of Florence. AS
you journey homward stop your car
on the brow of a hill that commands
a view of the river. If you are IN
luck there will be moonlight, silvering
the river, the woodland and the long
white road that stretches before you I.
We're just a little city, so the New
Workers tell US, awawy out here on
the Nebraska prairies but what OF 1t!
There's beauty a'plenty all round
about us if we only seek it out.

We wish to thank the City Com
missioner for granting everyone who
had a car and all that it requires to
drive it during the street car strike,
to run a jitney. 1t was indeed a
swell move and greatly helped tho
working people to get to and from
their work. l am going to ask a
Committee Of my people to assist me
if this should happn again, in asking
the City Offiuers to set aside an oil
station where the jitney can buy gas
and oil, so as to safeguard the PEG
pie. Now this is why l say this: On
last Friday Mr.. j. Overton. a writer
put his car in jitney service. This
being his day off he planned to help
to help the city's cause. Selecting the
Paxton to start as charity begins at

to the maids. He drifted down

a social meeting, by doing so, he so
cialized too heavy. and when the
maids got in his jitney, there was no
gas and no cash to buy it with.

SILVER SHIRTS
DATA SOUGHT
, BY PROBERS
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
Thorough investigation Of the
activities of the "Silver Shirts Of
America" was planned today by
the House committee named to
investigate Nazi propaganda in
this country.
The bankruptcy Of William
Dudley Pelley's Gallahad Press,
at ASheville, N. c.. furnished the
committee an opportunity to
probe the activities of the Silver
Shirts"
Investigators of the committee
already have been assured that
the records Of the Gallahad Press
win be preserved, so a study Of
the files can be made.
While Chairman Mccormack
'D0 Of Massachusetts, declined to
outline the committees course,
he said that complaints had been
received that the "Silver Shirts"
was connected with Nazi propa.
ganda.
The organization, which first
was disclosed in Oklahoma and
said to be active in many South
ern States, was regarded in some
quarters as a successor to the
Ku Klux Klan. Charges were
made that an anti-Jewish and
pro,NaZi campaign was being
planned.
Representative Dickstein, Of
New York, immigration Commit
tee chairman, said:
"The immigration Commit
tee which looked into Na1i &C
tivities before the present COM
mittee was created, received in
formation that the Silver
Shirt organization was con.
nected with Nazi propaganda"
The bankruptcy of the Gala
had Press was regarded by mem
bers of the committee as a
"break" in the initial stages of
the inquiry. They expected it
to result in the disclosure of rec
ords which might otherwise have
been difficult to obtain.
The committee may conduct
most Of its investigation during
the summer recess. It has been
authorized to engage counsel.
The committee already has
been deluged with information
from private sources charging
German Nazi activities in various
parts of the country.

What makes the play so popular
with summer troupes is that it
requires no royalty, having long
since passed beyond copyright
laws. Today it is hard to believe
that the dramatic propaganda for
a dry U. S. A. first produced in
184O by P. T. Barnum in Boston
Music Hall is 1934's most popular
and successful summer drama.
But these are the facts.

Los Angeles was really first to

There it has been running for
more than a year. This probably
inspired Harry Bannister (ex-hus-

close to Broadway. He converted
an old Swedish church into the
music hall. From Ward Morehouse
I print these box office statistics:
The receipts for the first night
of The Drunkard" were some
thing like ST. The second night
the intake was $14 The third
night approximately $26. And so
on. The gross for the second week
was better than that of the first
