EASTER
Dy more than one element of good fortune Easter comes
as a Holy day or holiday at a time of the year when the
world is, or should be, at its best. Like Christmas, it is
the great festival of general, if not almost universal, ob
servance.
Tho it has a religious background, the observance of
Easter has extended to functions, particularly to that of
decking one’s self in spring attire. This is not harmful,
and rather adds than detracts from the primary purposes
oi Easter. Done with reason and good taste, the Easter
“bonnet”, or hat, suit or dress is merely significant of the
material but natural impulse for newness, freshness and
beauty. A “resurrection” of the new clothes from the old
is hygienic, moral, and in a measure good for the soul.
Men don’t rob banks, pry open windows or engage in
licentious conduct while going to church on Easter mom
groomed in an Easter suit. Easter is alone worth while
if because of it men do go to church. And while it needs
no defense, the world is no worse off with it, but might
be without it.
Easter wasn’t manufactured in the brain of a reform
er. It wasn’t imposed upon Christian people by any force
of man-made law. It marks no event in profane history.
Easter is the commemoration of a super-natural happen
ing,—a genuine proof that spirit exists, a noble and tran
scendant example of divinity.
HOW TO GET AHEAD
The editor of a country newspaper moved to Dallas
the other day and deposited $50,000 in one of the local
banks, He had been publishing his little country paper
for 30 years and had moved to the city with a round $50,
000 to his credit. When asked for the secret of his great
financial success, he said: “I attribute my ability to re
tire with a $50,000 bank account, after 30 years in the
country newspaper field, to close application to duty, al
ways hewing to the mark and letting the chips fall where
they may, the most rigorous rules of economy, never
spending a cent foolishly, everlastingly keeping at my job
with a whole heart, and the death of an uncle who left me
$49,999.50.
A good many fear that Lindbergh will fly once too
often and meet with disaster. Still one can never tell what
may happen, or how. Bobby Leach went over Niagara
Falls in a barrel unharmed, and later slipped on an orange
peel in the street, receiving injuries which caused his
death.
Now that the ides of March are past, the only worry
is that the income tax return may still have to be investi
gated.
Reports of Sandino’s flight, capture and death appear
to have been somewhat overdrawn.
Even if Harry Sinclair can't be put in jail, he ought
to have a slap on the wrist.
Who remembers when signs of spring included bock
beer signs?

2! OMAHA, April 7. (#»)—Taking hi
5 pleas for adequate but "a peacefu
0 neutral” navy into the heart of Amieri
^ ea, Secretary Wilbur declared here ai
i uninterrupted continuance of overseai
5 I commerce was vital to the prosperity
H ofl not only the sea coast states but t<
. : every citizen in the country.
Wilbur said an organized system o:
propaganda against national defense
particularly against the first line de
I fense of the navy, was 'prompted bj
the President in his last message tc
| Congress in which he said“We would
provide for our needs regardless oi
i propagandists for or against an ade
quate navy”. Wilbur urged a calm
persistent, determined and unosten
tatious construction of a fleet which
i
will not only protect the nation but
be a source of comfort to all weak
nations seeking peace.
The plunge from thrills arid comedy
to sheer drama—the sort that makes
one hold one’s breath—is the cinemat
ic combination which makes the
nerves of the most jaded or bored
screen audience tingle.
That is why there is a breathless
thrill for film fans who see “Risky
Business,” Vera Reynolds’ latest story
from Charles Brackett’s Saturday
Evening Post serial, “Pearls Before
Cecily,” and Alan Hale, who directed
the film, created many thrills and
much comedy throughout, but at the
climax of the story here’s a punch that
is a masterpiece of the thrill-maker’s
art.
An excellent cast was chosen for the
supporting roles. Kenneth Thompson,
well known young leading man of the
stage, is seen opposite Miss Reynolds
in his first camera role; Edith Clay
ton, Zasu Pitts, Louise Natheaux,
Ward Crane also bear important dra
matic and comedy burdens.
EASTER SERVICES
At 3 p. m. in the Liberty theatre,
; consisting- of appropriate songs by the
i young people, Sigrid Rosness, pianist.
Also a violin selection by Annie Hor
j ton, accompanied on the piano by her

The regular session of the Sunday

tended to all to atend hese services.
EASTER PAGEANT
At 11 o’clock next Sunday morning
at the Seward Community church,

consisting of special Easter music, and
an Easter pageant. The pageant will
be given by members of the staff and
older girls and boys of the Jesse Lee
Home. It is one occasion during the
year when all should take a little time
and join in church affairs. In the
past there always has been a large
attendance. It is anticipated a larg
er gathering than ever before will at
tend this special service.
