what she wants to be. The two
boys, Jay and James, want to be
farmers.
Already they play at being
farmers—the girls too.
Carrying corn to “Old Whitey,”
big Chester White sow, is one of
their “chores.” But most fun is
milking “Bossy.” They take
turns, while one feeds the cow to
keep her docile.
A spacious, woll-fillcd hayloft
is their favorite play place. For
variety they ride "Charley,” gen
tle old work horse—all four at
once.
Hardly had Fred Schense re
covered from the shock of fath
ering quadruplets when he began
planning to cash in on nature’s
caprice.
He quit farming, loaded his fam
ily into an automobile and set
out to show his quartet to the
world. The tour yielded scarce
ly enough to meet expenses.
The strain of life on the road,
moreover hastened the tragedy
>
which capped the family’s mis
fortunes. Before the babies were
three years old their mother died
Sehense returned to the farm.
A year ago he married his house
keeper, a girl who had cared for
the children during their moth
| er’s illness.
Today the family of ton -4hc
quadruplerts have two older bro
thers an older sister and now a
baby half-sister lives in a four
room house on the prarie.
There they are finding the first
security and contentment since
they popped into the news lime
light five years ago.

CURRENT
COMMENT
_
It is a long lane that has
no turning For some time,
the Supreme Court has
kept federal plans of one
sort or another travelling
the straight to unconstitu
tional ity. At last a bend
has been reached, not so
much of a bend as some
might wish, it is true, but a
slight deviation from an
arrow-flight line, neverthe
less. By an 8 to 1 opinion,
the Supreme Court holds
that, in connection with a
specified T. V. A. project,
electrical power may be
sold to consumers. The val
idity of the entire T. V. A.
set-up was not an issue,
and it appears that similar
conditions arising in a diff
erent locality may lead to
a different ruling. Thus it
happens that although the
federal authorities are in a
position to rejoice as win
ners with respect to the
particular point involved
in the suit now finally ad
judicated, there is room for
their opponents to contend
that everything is by no
means settled. Each side,
apparently, has ’’eeoived
the small confort that com
es from realizing t- at half
a leaf '.s betlei th. u no
bread.
A Ueprcscntaiive in Con
gress th -eatened to hi 'k
from the capitol ster a
well known radio speaker
who has a system of social
and economic reform that
he is putting forward. Lat
er the legislator had the
good sense to change his
mind about the kicking pro
cedure. In old times
questions were settled by
trial of battle. Champions
were selected and the right
was supposed to lie on the
side of the man who was
fortunate enough to thrust
his lance between the other
fellow’s ribs. The original
plan in the congressional
disagreement was to dis
pose of the issue by a sim
ilar means, which might
be denominated the trial
by hoot. Now that cooler
judgement has prevailed,
brains and sensible di.-ms
don will resume their sway
Paraguay is having a rev
aluation, in which the gov-!
?rnment has retired from
control, and Spain is in a
state of rebellion of such
proportions that martial
var is likely to be declar
ed. Reports of that kind
:'rom Latin countries are so
sequent that we sometiin- j
es get the idea that s'tabil-j
ty of purpose is entirely
acking in those nations
ind that anyone with an(
imple supply of guns is re
garded as the wisest leader
ind statesman. Probably 1
;he fact is that we do not
mderstand the Latins. 1
Fhey simply have a meth
od of voting that differs!
:'rom the one employed in
;he United States. A La- .
.in government that is vot
id out of power by Latin
nethods is simply disposed
if a little more definitely
jhere than here, and things
»o on the same as before.
The senate followed the
I
I
house in a sharp and decis
ive action which extended
existing neutrality law's to
May 1, 1937. Until that date
the president will retain
power in declaring embar
goes. Arms and ammuni
tion are under the ban, but
not such commodities as
copper, oil, cotton and the
like. Warring nations can
not float loans in this coun
try. Pan-American repub
lics are given a little more
leeway than the rest of the
world, but even they are
subject to limitations and
will have to watch their
step. The act falls short of
being a drastic anti-war
move, but as a member of
the house foreign affairs
committee remarked, neu
trality legislation is a new
concept, likel\ to be ex
panded in the future but at
presen. to be handled with
care and made the subject
of research and study.
A runaway boy is locat
ed through a telegram that
he sent to his mother on her
birthday. Any didoes that
he may have cut up will
be overlooked by the pub
lic because he did not for
get. The white house, the
trees and the brook may
help to keep fine allied with
the old home, but the strong
est tie is that mother is
ihere.
Holland has voted about
35 million dollars for na
tional defense. So far as is
known, no one has designs
on Holland, but designs or
no designs, the Dutch pro
pose to keep themselves in
a condition in which they
will not have to be walked
upon. If a small and peace
ful country like the Nether
lands considers it necessary
to sleep with one eye op
en, so to speak, there should
be no serious opposition if
Uncle Sam sees fit to polish
up his war tools now and
then.
