Inc newspapers recently reported
two transactions in the husband mar
ket that were so widely at variance
that it seems to indicate that hus-
bands have no fixed value. For in
one Of these instances the wife asked
and got hundred thousand dollars
for her husband from q rich widow
who had set covetous eyes upon him,
while in the other case the wife Of
fered her rival a quit claim deed to
her husband for $1,375 without being
able to close the bargain.
This raises a very interesting ques-
ton of what q husband is really
worth. OF course, if he is a mil
lionaire, he is literally worth his
weight in gold or whatever currency
passes at the banks. If he Is faithful
and kind and affectionate and thor
oughly householder. he Is one of
the treasures whose price is above
rubies. But If he Is just the ordinary
common or garden variety of husband,
who is fussy about his food and spills

reading material vary. Not only
do individual tastes very, but in
appetites for one or another form
of reading are subject to season
able changes. On a spring after
noon one may perfer poetry, while
a cold winter night may make a
detective story first choice. The
principal thing, however, if any in-
dividual loves to read and knows
that reading can always give that
bodily relaxation nd mental stimu-
lus sought, is 10 secure reading
matter which fits that PERSONS
taste.
The contemplation of beauty can
be used to ~re-create. From our
iumbled storehouse we recall that
a poet, a Persian, we believe ad-
vised "If thou hast two loaves of
bread, sell one and buy white hy-
acinths for thy soul" Of course
what is beauty for one may not be
for another. 1t is quite possible
that a second loaf of bread might
appear more beautiful o some peo-
pie than a field of primroses. The
important thing is to seek what
ever brings peace or ecstacy to the
eyes of the beholder or the ears of
the listener.
Physical exercise TO be truly re-
ereational is a much a matter of
personal taste as the book one
chooses to read or the music one
likes to hear. To indulge in swim
ming, skating, baseball playing,
tennis or gold because it is good
for you" rather than because it
is enjoyable is 10 transform a lei
sure time activity into work.
Let us then not lose the gains
that the summer has brought US.
but continue to use our leisure
time for the purpose of replenish-
ing physical and spiritual ener.

NEW DEAL VERSION 23RD PSALM

Mr.. Roosevelt is my shepard,
I am in want,
He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
He leadeth me beside the still factories,
He dsturbeth my soul,
He leadeth me in the paths of destruction for theparty's sake
Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow Of
Depression
l anticipate no recovery, for he is with me,
His policies and his diplomacies, they brighten me.
He prepareth a reduction in my salary
And in the presence of mine enemies
He annointeth my small income with taxes, and my expenses
runneth over.
Surely unemployment and poverty shall follow all the days of
my life and I shall dwell in a ~mortgaged house forever.

Killed on Way to
Visit His Relatives

David Rayner, of Memphis,
Tenn, died Sept. /, in a Kan
sas City hospital.
Mr.. Rayner, left Memphis
August 3, to come to Council
Bluffs to visit his niece, Mrs.
Clogne Wilson. It is thought he
left the train at a Kansas City
suburb, thinking he was in Kan
sas City proper, While wander
ing about, he was thought to
be a suspicious character by
some of the residents there and
the police were called. When
called to halt b ythe police, the
deceased no doubt thought it
was a hold-up, and proceeded
to run. He was shot, dying in
a hospital several weeks later.
Mrs. Wilson's father, upon
not being able to hear from Mr..
Rayner, had him traced by the
police department in his city,
and located him in the Kansas
City hospital. Mrs. Cologne Viii
son made a trip to the Kansas
City where he was confined.

RECREATION

Never befre has group SEEM
ed so co conscious of physical ex-
%ercise. Every block has it's nightly
street boxing sessions, the parti-
cipants ranging in age from five
years upwards. Ropes stretched
across the sidewalks at different
heights make an adventure of what
hitherto has been an ordinary "con-
stitutional walk" as future Come
Illus Johnsons and David Albrit-
tons practise higher jumps, COM
down on the hard flagstones SEEM
ingly needless of the jolts that
would reduce older bones to frag-
ments.
Vacation time is almost over, but
that does not mean the end of re-
creation time. Heathful living in
cludes recreation. Since the days
Of Hoppocrates the regimens of
heathful living drawn up by hy-
CHEMISTS have stressed fresh air,
food, rest, cleanliness, the correc-
ton of physical defects and exec
else. Whether we are at work or at
school, we have leisure and what
we do in our leisure time has an
intimate part to play in determin-
ing that perfect balance of mind
and body which we call health. 1t
does not matter whether we have
ar hour of leisure time or a week
end; what does matter is that the
time be used to truly ~recreate.
Listening to or making music is
a form of recreation. If a person
has ever had the experience of for
getting bodily fatigue while listen
ing to music, isn't it worthwhile
to spend some time in working out
a way to have the experience re-
peated often? The radio makes this
form of recreation very accessible,
but we fail TO take he greatest adj
vantage of it. Too often we chat
ter through he finest programs al
most shrieking in order to be heard
above the music instead of per-
hitting the soothing strain TO per-
meate our souls and replenish the
wells of life.

form of recreation, but tastes in
