Thompson avid E. Thompson, who founded The Lincoln star, and whose death took place in Del Mar, California, exemplified in a marked degree what the American people call a self-made man. From humble italion he rose to a position of power and wealth in Nebraska and In the nation. Mr. Thompson's birth was In the year that eon- greti incorporated Nebraska Eighteen years later he came into this state, after receiving a rudimentary education in the Michigan Public schools, although since the ege of 13 he had been working.

His first job in Nebraska was with the Burlington as a brakeman, and from that post he advanced rapidly, largely as result of greet administrative and executive ability, keen business insight, and an unusual capacity to get the best efforts out of men. Mr. Thompson was public minded. He responded to every call and to every demand made upon him generously. One episode of great public Interest came at the close of the Spanlsh-American war, when the First Nebraska regiment, which had seen rugged service in the Philippine campaign, mustered out at San Francisco, found itself with no provision made for the transportation of Its members home.

When Governor Poynter, after exhausting every resource at his command to raise the necessary funds, found himself still $20,000 short of the needed amount, Mr. Thompson came forward and advanced it, later being repaid by the legislature. But his gifta to Individuals, end to worthy and to deserving activities were many and were largely unknown to the public. Shortly after tha turn of the century he became the central figure in one of the most memorable senatorial contests in American political hiitory. The Nebraska legislature of 1901 called upon to name two for full six-year and the other to fill a vacancy, became deadlocked, and the balloting continued for weeks without either side giving in.

Mark Hanna, who then was national chairman of the republican party and others, sought to break the deadlock but on the day before the legislative session closed, Mr. Thompson upon hia own initiativa withdrew his name as a candidate in favor of Governor Charles H. Dietrich. As friend of tha late Theodore Rooeevelt, Mr. Thompson was named envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Brazil, and then am- baasador to Mexico, retiring from diplomatic service in 1909.

He lived an exceptionally active, vigorous, and succesaful life, due to his energies, his great business capacity, end hia continuing keen interest in affairs. Those men closest to him, a small circle whe knew him beet, knew him to be kindly in hie relationships, and most loyal and devoted to his friends. already are projected with some exect detail. All that Italy is demanding ah a payoff for her part in the war, reports say, is complete liberty of movement In the Mediterranean, Interpreted to mean dominance there; free access to both ocean.x. Interpreted to mean the appropriation of Gibraltar and Suez; vast colonial spaces for the settlement for Italian population; Corsica, Dalmatia, and Melts; the return of Ethiopia with frontiers greatly expanded at the expense of Great Britain; Tunisia and other North African colonies, believed to refer to Egypt and Morocco; the Chad and Nigeria, and Mediterranean territories, believed to be Cyprus.

There has always been good reason for the unorthodox practice of refusing to drift terms peace. Then is when the real difference! between the axis nations will come to light. OFF THE RECORD ED REED If Still Remains Grave NE OF the delightful traits of Josef Stalin is that he rarely does any talking. He is by nature a silent man, and his reluctance to break into the public prints in Russia, or to address his country, over which hi rules with an iron hand is not a studied post. There is no drama about him, and no sffort to dramatize himself as the strong, silent man.

Stalin spent his youth, and his early manhood like all of the youngsters of the Russian steppes. He tended herd, and flock, sleeping under the stars at night, alone, rarely meeting people, rarely encountering the opportunities for sation. Then when he became affiliated with the Russian groups seeking to overthrow the regime, he frequently was a fugitive from the Russian secret police; frequently in exile as a political prisoner. A part of hia life was spent In the Siberian wastes, not far from the Arctic circle, In a hut, unheated and cold, and by himself. rather difficult for a man who lives that kind of a life even after gaining the reins of power In Russia, and coming into absolute authority, to break the habits of a lifetime.

Much as the situation may have seemed to demand tha type of leadership more familiar to the Western world, Stalin In his silence was the product of his boyhood, early manhood, and the years spent in agitation and planning for the establishment of a new type of government in Russia. 0N THURSDAY Stalin saw the necessity, and To A to I I a Fight Republican State Chairman Kenneth Wherry little realized the difficultiea his re- may precipitate. Looking over a long field of potential candidates for the post occupied by him, and with his ear to the ground to catch all rumblings that a spirited contest might take place, Mr. Wherry says that he hopes the selection of new republican state chairman "will not develop into a fight that will disorganize our united strwigth, or w'eaken our solid front at a time when victory is here for the party In With thMt words Mr. Wherry declares a hands- off policy as an expression of his attiluda in the selection of a candidate.

There Is the tradition of discipline within republican ranks, unlike the democrats, who seem to derive a great deal of pleasure in biting Mch other'a tart. But the pot has boiling behind the scrteiu in republican circle for some time, and while It is to be expected no effort will be spared to prevent it from bubbling over, it may do that very thing. And it wouldn't be such a calamity at that. A little fight now and then is best for Uie best of men. acted promptly to break his silence, and with customary brevity, in Moscow he was quoted as saying that situation remained very And, why not? The same day cables told that Marshal Von Bock had thrown a million men against the great Russian industrial center on the Volga, which bears name.

It appeared that the head of the Russian government felt the necessity of warning his own people not to be deceived by the fierce counter offensive which the Russian high command has initiated on the Central front Its objectives are clear. It is designed, not for the recapture of territory, of villages and cities, but solely to relieve the crushing pressure of Von armies to the armies strengthened and reinforced by divisions from the battle lines in other parts of Russia. It is to force the German high command to discontinue its concentration of forces in the south of Russia, and redistribute them along the stretch between the Baltic, the Black and the Caspian seas. What the Russian offensive on the Central front actually represents at this time is "a second in Russia. And still another warning from Stalin.

He speaks in measured tones of the scope of a battle being fought upon such proportions that those not actually In Immediate contact with It little can realize the magnitude of the conflict. This comes home to the peoples of the united nations, and particularly to the American people, because it has been so difficult for them to visualize the struggle of which they have become a part. rpHERE ARE possibilities to the lightning thrust which the Russians have inaugurated on the Central front Heretofore Voronezh has been looked upon as the most dangerous link in the German lines stretching far to the east in the race to the Volga, to Stalingrad, and to the oil fields of the Caucasus. The Russian high command It reported to have mobilized an army of 5 million men with reserves, well-equipped, for tills crucial battle. It may turn south to pounce upon legions upon the flanks, but for the time being it primarily is diversion seeking to soften the mighty blows which are being directed against Stalingrad, and to the very vital Grozny oil fields.

The Germans are only 90 miles from the latter, and even much nearer to Stalingrad. Stalin did not speak advisedly when he gave a note of caution that in the jubilance and happiness of the Russian advance on the steppes central front, it should be remembered the situation is still grave. rooTBAU. mitmiis high i ARE HIGHEST OF AU IN MY collection of Injuries due to playing football in the season of 1941, which 1 tabulate below, I omit such minor things bloody black and blue eyes, sprains, back wrenches, cuts, bruises, being knocked unconscious, Charley horse, etc. To get into this list you have to break a bone or rupture a spleen, or be paralyzed, or something really noteworthy.

Would Father and Mother take them in through that hole from which yellow light was shinning, making the darkness of the night seem aU the darker? Father had been part way in there but had backed out hurriedly followed by a stranger with a black and white coat who had stamped his feet and made Father back on quickly and turn away. They were seeing Jimmy Skunk for the first time, and they had just felt for the first time the unpleasant feeling of fear.

Our three Memorial Day favorites are Festiva Maxima, Edulis Superba, and Karl Rosenfield Festiva Mexima is a beautiful, satiny-white with flecks of red in the center. The enormous flowers are on very strong stems. Although it is one of the oldest varieties it is still one of the loveliest and most reliable in our climate, having a rating of 9.3 Edulis Superba is a clear, deep pink, with silver reflexes.

It is perfectly beautiful when grouped with Pallida Dalmatica iris or any of the newer deep lavender ones. Karl Rosenfield is a rose (3.8 rating) with not a single trace of purple, and very striking planted in front of Phlla- delphus Virginalis, the double gardenia-flowered Mock Orange that is solid white with fragrant blooms in May and June, and continues blooming in a lesser degree all during the summer.

Lewis, united mine workers president and former CIO chief, plans a union for all farm labor in the nation came today as absorption of a New York City mtlkshed group by District 50 of the UMW was formally ratified.

The dairy farmers union, organized in 1936 and once claiming about 23,000 members In New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont, was voted out of existence "as soon as last night by 150 delegates to Its annual fall convention. The general organization committee in February voted to affiliate with the United Dairy Farmers, a District 50 unit. Meanwhile, Herbert W. Voorhees of Hopewell, N. president of Free Farmers, said in a speech at New York last night that Lewis will launch within a few weeks, within 30 days, a gigantic organization drive among farm workers in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington and New York.

WASHINGTON, Aug. warned the public today to prepare for tax and savings legislation early in 1943.

Such steps, they said, were almost Inevitable in connection with the stabilization of farm prices and wages which President Roosevelt has announced will be undertaken soon. One of the economists, Prof. Alvin H.

"We are piling up avalanche of purchasing power and we ought to be building a dam to hold it.
