K AS.--Tens of thou* ids of prairie: state Americans, joined by additional thousands, of visitors frorn every section of the .United States. will gather on the ^jrrcjunds of the state" house here Thursday, July 23, to hear Alf M. Lahdon accept the Republican nomination for President. The quiet, businesslike governor,, who balanced, the budget of Kansas by simple economy, in his speech of acceptance, to be broadcast nationally, will tell the American people how he proposes to handle the problems of government. Day-Long Celebration. Topekans, under the leadership of their chamber of commerce, have arranged a program of pageantry which will last from noon until nearly midnight. Indian ceremonies, parades and a giant fireworks display will portray the spirit and history of Kansas, and voice the "typical prairie" states' approval of Alf Landon. At the Kansas state fairgrounds 20 tribes of Indians will conduct a ceremonial barbecue at noon in tijf colorful setting provided by their villages of tepees. Haskell Indians from Lawrence, Kas., and groups from Marietta, will unite witn other Indians from points as far-removed as New York and Arizona to smoke the pipe of peace *with the Republican nominee. 190,000 Can View Ceremonies,' • A triple parade, lasting an hour and a half, will march down Kansas avenue to the state house, beginning at 4 p. m. "More than 10,000 Landon boosters are being marshalled to participate in the parade," said Robert M. Owthwaite, president of the Topeka chamber. "Their, line of march will be decorated with sunflowers, for as the sunflower was planted by the early pioneers to guide those who followed to their destination in safety, so is the Landon sunflower destined to show the way back to the security of the American form of government." The notification ceremonies will take place on the south steps of the state house, where 100,000 persons will be able to see Gov. Landon against the background of the building from whijh he has sprung ' to fame with the swiftness and power of a prairie cyclone. 1 Drouth Emphasizes Folly of New Deal 'Scarcity' Chicago, 111. -- Drouth disaster, plus artificial crop restricton, for the second time in three years is demonstrating the fallacy of the New Deal theory of "economic scarcity," writes Frank Ridgway, agricultural editor of the Chicago Tribune. ^ Ridgway declared that it was difficult for many to believe crops again are being destroyed so that farmers can qualify for payments under the new federal soil law, when the country is faced with a shortage of human foods and live- • stock feeds, and foreign grown farm products are being imported into the United States in increasing amounts. "Farmers have a feeling of protest against being forced to clip or pasture their green oats to prevent them from maturing a crop of seed, or to plow under tons of green soy beans that would make needed food for live stock this winter," Ridgway said. He cited some instances of Illinois farmers who decided not to plow under their soy beans to receive government checks for $12 an acre when they could make $15 an acre by harvest' ing the beans and selling them. Predicts G. O. P. Sweep to Majority in House Chicago, 111.--The steady trend toward Landon and Knox throughou^ country will help sweep a Republican majority into the house of representatives at the approaching election, says Earl Venable, executive secretary of the Republican Congressional campaign committee with offices here. "We will retain all .the seats we now have," said Mr. Venable, "and from among the remainder, now represented by Democrats who came in on the 1932 landslide, a sufficient number can be swung back to give the Republicans acom- . fortable majority in the new house, which will support Landon after his election." Exports Drop Under New Deal Washington, D.

What determines age? Do number of years decide how old we are? Some people are old at fifty; others are young at seventy. It is not as much a matter of years as of spirit. "We c o u n t time' 'by; heart throbs, not,, by the dial on a clock." Physically, a person is as old as his ar-' teries are hard;: mentally and spiritually, he is as young as his spirit is alert. The value of personality is not a matter of years only. Many of those whose < contributions definitely influenced the world of art and letters died very young, some under thirty. The best contributions of others were not made until advanced age. One priceless gift of age is experience. Advanced age should be at a premium when we talk of experience. The opinions of old age are ascribed frequently as "out of date," old-fash-- ioned. But the man who keeps abreast of his time need not fear that his usefulness will be discounted when he reaches three scor^ years arjd ten. When we seek legal counsel, we are advised more wisely by the man of ripe experience than by the young man dependent merely upon his technical training. The same is true in the field of medicine, surgery, business, and in fact, all the fields of human endeavor. The need of the hour is the power of mature and multiple ex-: perience. The tragedy of age is that some persons grow old ignorantly instead of grandly; Come grow old along with ma The best of life is yet to be. This does not argue for idle selfcontentment in which "the ideas of our fathers are good enough for me." On the contrary, it presents a challenge to our deepest ambitions, said bids us not lean too heavily upon the past but to seek always the tentative mind charged with keen interest in the investigation of new concepts of truth. *• It is the static attitude of mindl which destroys the glory of old age. The dynamic mind laughs at age and knows that, despite advancing ye*rs, "the best of life is yet to be." The sunset hour is the time of peace. It should be so in the sunset of life. Not a peace in the midst of the storm but that wonderful peace which comes after the great human struggle--the peace of victory. Not the peace of stagnation but that of action and conquest. Not Nirvana but a paradise of holy memories of happy and useful hours. Not an irritable fear of death's slow and subtle invasion but a patient endurance to the end, seeing in the an:bent shadows life's greatest blessing light at eventide. i C Western Newspaper Unloa.

Burglars entered the apartment above Louis Cernocky's tavern in Fox River Grove Tuesday night of last week and stole several boxes containing more than $1,300 in cash which had been hidden in a closet. The Cernocky home is on the second floor. Entrance to the apartment is believed to have been gained by means of a skeleton key. Sheriff Henry Nulle and Deputy Earl Smith who investigated the case believe that the burglary was the work of somebody who knew that the money was kept in the apartment and where it was concealed. Nothing else in the house was disturbed and the burglars passed up a diamond ring and $20 in old bills. The Cernocky brothers were busy in their taverns and it is believed that •the burglars climbed a rear outside stairway and unlocked the door. The home of John H.
