~Robert Cecil Valkenberg, shown
lbehind Detective C. 0. Rolfson, is
Sho~vn emerging from the h,)le un-
der the first floor of his home,
Where he has hidden since Decem-
ber 7, 1941. When America en-
tered the war, Valkenberg is said
to have dug the hideaway at night,
in order to hide from the draft.
~WE'RE ON THE
'UP' AND 'UP'! ,
Prol~.bly no word in tire language
is more overworked than the little
and defenseless two-letter word
"up". You hear it on the street,
you hear it at the movie, you hear
it at church, in the post office and
over the telephone. It's "call up",
"settle up", "bounce up", "count
up", "hitch up", "tie up" and "burn
up". In a thousand other ways
the little word has to "stand up"
under an unseemly amount of
abuse.
One of my neighbors was telling
me about a neighbor who acted like
he wanted to "flare up" when
something want wrong. He let hLrn
"run up" then watched him "slow
up" and, in a few minutes, "back
up". We'd like to "show up" the
other fellow.
It's fun to 'foot up" a bill. but
it's not so easy to "cough up".
We "talk up", "chew up", "eat up"
and "drink up" everything, but we
are a little slow when it's time to
"pay up". The boys "cut up" and
the girls "make up".
On Sunday we "tune up" and
"'dress up". On Monday we "mark
up" prices. We "sign up" on Tues-
day and 'blow up" on Wednesday.
We're still "puffed up" on Thurs-
mother
{ /
k.] W e. Mother • real bad enla
Or im't f~iin' very well,
An' Daddy rashes 'er seaS" in bad.
It certainly is hard t' tell
What we're ~ppo~! t" wear t" ~hoel,
Or wlum it's t/me for us t" go,
Or if We've got our books an' things;
Daddy doem't seem t' Imowl
An' when it cornel t' breakfa~ee
There" doem't mm t' be •
For us t' eatl But Daddy says
That everything will be all rightl
He tells us that he learned t' cook
When he wu just • little kid,
An' when his mother wam't well
That's only part o' what he did.
But, ff he learned, he soon forgot,
'Cause all the toast k hard an' black,
An' evmry egg busts right in two
When Daddy flol~ it on its beck,
But I f~l kind o' sorry then,
Because he does the beet he can--
And, anyhow, • cookin' job
Don't look so easy for a mare
No sir, It ain't a bit o' fun
When Mother isn't well an' strong,
An' everything we try t' do
Gets all mixed-up an' turns out wrongt
But when she comes downstairs again
It doe~'t take her long t' see
What should be done, an' very soon
She's got things like they oughter bet
day, We "cheer up" on Friday but
by Saturday we're ready to "close
up".
If our office is on the upper floor
of the building, we tell people to
"slip up" to see us. or worse still,
to "drop up".
On Broadway we "bump up" with
old friends or strike up" new ac-
quaintances. Wl~ tell the carpenter
to "putty up" the window. If we're~
fortunate and the maid "pops up"I
we hint that it would "pretty up"I
things if she were to "wash up"I
the window. She "sweeps up",
"fumes up" and tells us to "shut
up".
We "put up" the car, "spade up"
the garden, "break up" the ground,
"dig up" potatoes, "hold up" our
heads, "pass up" our friends and
"bark up" a tree.
If we think of traveling we first
"read up" then "pack up" and "sit
up", or. if we're lucky to get a
berth, we "climb up". When we
traveled by motor, we used to i
"speed up". Yes. we liked to "kick
up" the dust and sometimes we'd
"pick up" trouble. The speedo-
meter would "climb up" as we
"tore up" the road. Sometimes we
were "laid up" and "messed up"
and even 'got up" and now are
"pepped up" to "walk up" before
"giving up" to be "boxed up" and
"fly up".
But of all offenders, I guess I'm
the worst. I not only 'write up"
and "'play up" the idiosyncrasy,
but "fill up" a column with it.

SOME MANI STRIP CROPPING HELPS

Morals don't mean a thing to]soils, also pays dividends .on heavier
him. Pie's unmarried and lives I lands not easily affected by wind
openly with a woman he's crazy
about, and does not care what the
neighbors say or think. He has no
regard for truth or la~. The duties
of the so-called good citizen are
just so much bunk as far as he's
concerned. He doesn't vot~ at
either the primary or the general
election. He never thinks of paying
his bills.
We have seen him take a $2 taxi
ride without giving the driver so
much as a pleasant look. The driver
only stared at him and muttered
something silly. He will not work a
lick; he won't go to church; can't
play cards, or dance, or fool
around with musical instruments,
or the radio. So far as is known
he has no intellectual or cultural
interests at all .
He neglects his apperance ter-
ribly. He's so indolent he'd let the
house burn down before he'd turn
in an alarm. The telephone could
ring itself to pieces and he wouldn't
bother to answer it. Even on such
a controversial subject as the liquor
question nobody knows where he
stands; one minute he's dry and
the next minute he's wet. But we
will say this for him: In spite of
all his faults, he comes from a darn
good family. He's our new baby.-

erosion, according to the experience
of Herman DeKrey, farmer near
Steele in Kidder county.
"Even though most of my land
is composed of heavy soil," DeKrey
says, "I get my best yields where
I practise strip cropping."
This, he explains, is because the
strip cropping prevents snow from
blocking off t~e fields and in
spring protects young plants from .
wind damage. DeKrey is a member
of the Kidder county soil conserva-
tion district.
