ATOP the magnificent Nebras-

symbol of Nebraska and its faith

Nebraska's long production line
from Wyoming in the west, to the
Missouri river on the east. Its corn
fields, its grain lands, its rows Of
sugar beets, it's ranges where cat

these come the foods that add to
this nations greatness and the well
fare of men everywhere. Orchards,
gardens, fields and ranges are Me-
braska's wealth and the top soil its
source of well-being.
The plains, with nature as the
sower, were the camping and hunt
ing grounds of seven tribes Of In
dams. The Otoes, the Omahas, the
Pawnees, the Poncas, the Sioux, the
Cheyennes and the Arapahoes hunt
ed the shaggy buffalo, the fleet ante
lope, the deer and other game which
had grown fat on the abundant fare
provided by the prairies and streams.

"Nebrathka," which means "flat wa

their chief occupation was hunting.

The Sewer beckoned, and men
came with plows that bit into the

was made the capital. Nebraska be-

Cattle Ranching Comes.
The buffalo were replaced by cat
tie, and on the open range thou
sands Of cattle from Texas were
fed and fattened. One of the most
picturesque periods of Nebraska
history was that of the cowboy, from
1867 to 1887. Enclosed ranches and
mixed farming came next, but the
famous old COW towns of Schuyler,
North Platte, Kearney and Ogalla-
la will never be forgotten. Their
modern equivalents are Broken
Bow, Burwell, Alliance and VAL
entine. The epic struggle between
the cattlemen and the homestead
ers is recorded in "Old Jules" by
Mari Sandoz.

good earth. From that day in 1888
when Moses Merrill and his wife

Several we'll informed Wash ington observers are predicting that dehorned and fangless yer sion of the Full Employment Bill will pass-into oblivion. AS orig inally written, it was a viper, sort of two-edged Townsend plan of pensions with an appended government corporations under ready, gainly employment to ev- erybody out of jails and hospitals, drunk or sober, on borrowed gov ernment money.
 Addressing a few belated trav- elers in a highway hamburger em- porium recently, red-nosed tramp declared: "There's plenty of everything in the world for ev- reybody to live easy, if greedy guys would quit grabbing every thing and holding us up for our share" l submit that as a paral- Tel to the philosophy of the Full Employment Bill. It is simply not true. Good living depends on work.
