BATES Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PEICE $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE t ! 1 I ! ! ! 1 1 t II t I M t t I t I 1 I I t ELM WOOD Leader-Echo A big head is often the result of a few small ideas. :o: The difference between death and taxes is that you get through dying. : :o: The cost of a modern battleship of the United States navy is about JS-'.OOO.OOO. :o: Ham and bacon have dropped in price, but their old pal, the hen egg, is still aviating. o:o Sometimes new paint doesn't con ceal the age of a motor car much bet ter than it does the age of a woman. , :o: Bankers are feeling optimistic ov er the outlook. This should give the j promissory keynote to the rest of mandkind. :o: The department store advertise ments so attractive nowadays that the housewife hardly dares to rea the newspapers. :o: A national convention of stenogra phers is soon to be held at Cleve land. That means a lot of bifsiness men will be short-handed. :o: The American Par Association will hold its next annual meeting in Cin cinnati, but there will be no bars for the barriers in the Ohio city." :o: "Business as Usual in the Fashion World," says a fashion page head line. But the fashion has recently changed in the business world. :o: One thing is certain: The veter ans of the World War will not volun teer their services to make the world tafe for the anti-cigarette crusade. :o : New York bandits held up a po liceman the other night and robbed hi ni of his gun. sliieldfi ?40 in cash, and a medal he had won for bravery. :o: Perhaps Tom Watson's plan for making liberty bonds legal tender will do something in behalf of ex pired transfers and last year's rain checks, too. :o: Lumber manufacturers now admit that the prices prevailing a few months ago were "beyond all reason." Yes, they almost killed the ghost that laid the golden egg. :o: We had just been bragging about what a fine brand of climate the weather man was giving us when he sent a nasty all-day snow. It won't do to prai.ce that fellow. o:o "What has become of the old-fashioned girl whose face was her for tune?" as-ks the Chicago News. She is stiil here, but she has transferred Ler bank account to her legs. :o: President Wilton will take up his residence in Washington after re tiring from office. He will have a lot of fun watching his successor wrestling with knotty problems. :o: The figures showing that alcohol ism is increasing in New York are all the more surprising in view of the fact that the poison contained in bootleg whisky is not alcohol. :o: On his tour of South America. Sec retary Colby hears many expressions of high regard for President Wilson. Let the democracy cheer up. Below the isthmus they may find another solid south. :o: "Devil Ansc" Hatfield, the noted West Virginia feudist;, died peaceful ly in bed recently. Verily, verily, times arc not what they used to be. A feudist has no right to die in bed just lil;e ordinary folks. o:o "Only the timid are afraid of the future." says Bernard Baruch. Brave ly spoken, Barney, but we could face the future with far more confi dence if we had a wad of kale com paring favorably with your pile. :c: Short skirts agitate the world, but nobody has said a world about the short trousers young men have been wearing for several years. They have been exposing their ankles without causing the least comment or con cern. :o: -- The unique proposition has been made that Harding be inaugurated with forty-eight kisses from beauti ful maidens representing the various ttates of the union. The idea is all wrong. It is Harding, not Ilob&on, v. ho is to be inaugurated. :o: Blank Books at the Journal Oflice. Keep your sidewalks clean. :o: - Hen fruit is getting cheaper. :o: Coal dealers are wearing a smile that you can pin behind their ears. o:o When a man goes at things head first he often gets there with both feet. :o: The farmers in the northwest part of the state are letting loose of their grain. :o: Throughout the nation there is an insistent demand for economy in gov ernment. :o: About the slowest way to settle an argument is to get two women inter ested in it. :o: The trouble with enthusiasm is its aptitude for running clear ahead of common sense. : o: The oldest occupied dwelling in the United States is said to be at Santa Fe, New Mexico. o:o It has been estimated that about 2,000.000,000 chicks are hatched in the United States every year. :o: To aover there are but two places in the world one where his sweet heart is and the other where she isn't. :C. Theirty-eight per cent of the elec tricity produced by public utility plants in this country comes from wa ter power. a :o: A married man never knows what real trouble is until he borrows his wife's umbrella in an emergency and then loses it. -:o:- N'cw York doe.-r.'t seem to have any edge over Kansas City in regard to Bank robberies and broad day hold ups, and murders. :o: , Many of these soul dairies you read after notable tragedies are enacted represent hours of hard writing by the star reporter. :o: The discovery of a sure way to tell a woman's age. In nipping weather, if she's under 25, her cheeks go red. If she's over 25, it's her nose. o:o Unless the expense allures you, there are many other easier ways to get into sure trouble than attempting a balloon flight into the Arctics. :o: It isn't always the rua i who talks loudest that does the mos t good. The copper cent makes more noise on the contribution plate than a dollar bill Michigan has 1.000,000 bushels of potatoes in storage. Meanwhile we have our money in storage. Wc sus pect the potatoes will come out first. :o: There are in the White House more than 170 miles of wires, provid ing for 3,000 incandescent lights a bell system and a private telephone system. :o: Will somebody please wise us up in meeting and explain why cigars and cigarettes remain high, and the price of tobacco has fallen to such a low level that the growers refuse to sell? -o:o- Mr. Ford's employes would like the use of the plant to make themselves i few automobiles for their own use, which shows how glad everybody is to co-operate once you start being liberal. Rev. Hollowell of the Christian church at Plattsmouth and M. S. Briggs, the Journal man, were pleas ant visitors with Rev. Scott and fam ily and also the Palmeter family on Wednesday. Dr. I. II. Dillon, state health in spector was in Elmwood on Tuesday and while here examined a number of cases of sickness and pronounced them small pox. Some of these were at Wabash. Mr. and Mrs. Grover Hill and their two little daughters left last Satur day for Thurston, Nebraska, -where they will spend a week visiting with the Lee HilL family. Lee Is operat ing a hotel .and confectionery store at that place. While hauling ice on Tuesday Otto Fleischman had a valuable horse take sick and get down when near his father's place in town. The horse was hauled to his father's place with a tour horse team and at the pres ent time will likely get well. He was hauling ice from Henry Vogts. On Tuesday afternoon C. G. Bailey brought to this office a freak in the shape of a bone and a salsify root. He had been digging some salsify and dug up one root that had grown down thru the marrow of a large piece of soup bone that had been plowed under and which lay in such a position mat tne root grew tnru. The freak is at this office. A piece of news that comes rather belated was the marriage of Miss Lora Mable Newlin to William Jacob Schlanker. While it had been re ported around that the marriage had taken place on December 23th, suffi cient information was lacking to put it in print. The particulars reached us this week. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Sala, of the Methodist church. Mr. Schlanker is well known to all here and is one of our best farmers snd a son of Jacob Schlanker. The bride is an Elmwood lady and has many friends here. They will live on the farm of the groom. They have the best wishes of all. Heavy Cold? Chest All Clogged Up?

The Jameson Ice company is busy today (Thursday) with a full force of some twenty-five men, harvesting a crop of dandy good 12-inch ice. Charles Philpot came in from the ranch in Custer county on Monday evening for a few days' visit and to attend the annual meeting of the First National Hank. Charley is a busy boy for his age. He said he had just finished setting the gate posts for three gates and hung the gates before he left, but he couldn't stay here long as he had the brand- ng of a bunch of cattle to look af ter, so had to return. A number of the members of the Weeping Water Masonic lodge went to Kim wood and assisted that body in degree work. The Elmwood boys know how to make our boys "loosen up," so when they arrived they were seated to a banquet that was not hard to take. After the work was completed a lunch was also served which sent the boys home with pleas ant thoughts for their neighboring brothers. Those going were Messrs, II. A. Crozier. A. E. Marshall. H. A Doty. Dr. W. H. Tuck. A. E. Barber. Clark Newlon, L.. P. Wolcott. G. R Dinger, Harvey Swindle, E. II. Chad- derdon, W. L. Hobson and John Mc Kay. G. E. Young is moving his saw mill this week from the Charley- Meyers farm to the Arthur Rough farm where he will saw a lot of umber for Mr. Rough for a new barn. The cotton-wood groves are producing much of the native lum ber that is sawed in this way. It s doubtful if people who planted these groves realized at the time what their wonderful growth would bring about. An interesting case in connection with this growing of na ive lumber is the experience of Henry Haslam. About two years ago he built a barn for Henry Meyers and the lumber used was sawed from cot ton-wood trees which Mr. Haslam himself had set out years ago. Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Snipes, son Tom and Robert Thomas returned Monday night from Dearborn, Mo., where they had gone to attend the funeral of Mrs. Snipes and Mr. Thomas brother. Albert Thomas, who died in France at a base hos pital. October 18, 1919. after being wounded in action on the 9th day of that month. The remains just ar rived from France at this time for burial at his old Missouri home. The funeral was held from the M. E. church at Dearborn, Mo., and was very largely attended. A boyhood friend preached the sermon; the president of Park college, (Mo.) gave a short talk; a quartette from the college sang; one of his college class mates came 100 miles to sing a solo (the class song.) A delegate from the Masonic lodge in Oklahoma (where he was a member and en listed) came to assist the Dearborn Masonic order in taking charge of the services at the grave. 4-H-M 1 II 1 11 H II' M 1 1 H 1 I 1 t LOUISVILLE $ Courier j I ti ,i isii ,.tt ,,.H" 1 i t t t I 1 C 11 M' William Lohnes went to Eight Mile Grove Sunday to epsist his brother Jacob with their butchering ou Monday. - Oscar Klnblom made a business trip to Weeping Water recently and reports that the stone quarry busU uess there is very quiet this winter. The Updike plaut is closed and the Myers and Olsen plants are employ ing a very few men as they, have no orders ahead for stone. James Terryberry aud CUarle3 Ger lach have returned from a trip to .'California and report a flue time with lots of scenery and sunshine, bjj,t they say with such a winter as we liavt! had in Nebraska, it was hardly worth whilet o go so far to find a mild winter climate. They made a sightseeing trip to Mexico while in San Diego and found it very interesting. George Stander, of Plattsmouth, came up last week for a farewell visit with his brother. W. E. Stan der and wife on the farm south of town, as they will leave lor Cali fornia soon after their sale, which occurs January 18th. George is the eldest of eleven living children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stan der and celebrated his 60th birthday anniversary on Thursday of last week, January 6th. Edward Jochim shipped a carload of hogs to the Omaha market Thurs day of last week, Mrs. Jochim ac companying him to the city to do some shppping. While there, they were registered at the Conant hotel. Edward returned the next day, but Mrs. Jochim remained over for an other day. He shipped the hogs from Manley. During their absence from the farm. Mrs. Jochim's brother and sister. John and Miss Clara Scheel stayed with the children. Joe Novak, who purchased the Carlson forty south of Louisville and erected a small house on it last fall. has been in the hospital in Omaha, but was able to return home last Friday. His family consists of a wife and little boy and his brother is here helping him. Mr. Novak has one of the best layouts for chickens we have seen for some time. The house is built of hollow tiling and is situated in the hollow near his residence, with a southern exposure and looks warm and bright and any hen that wouldn't lay an egg there every day would surely be a most contrary bird.

Bert Lytel has rented the Bill Sacks farm and will not go to the River country as he had planned some time ago to do. The board of County Commission ers and the state engineering depart ment heads were in Eagle this fore noon to view the Eagle section of the Federal road project from Lincoln to Nebraska City. The surveying and mapping or this project has been completed and contracts are to be let in a short time for the construction, which will be pushed as t;oon as the frost is out of tho ground. Wc wonder if it has ever occurred to our people that every one of them who buys an automobile license at Lincoln instead of Blattsmouth robs Cas3 county of that much and en riches the Lancaster county road funds to that extent. A casual check up in Otoe county last year revealed a loss of more than $1,500.00 in the automobile taxes. We believe our people want mis aiuomoDiie license money spent on Cass county roads, and when they realize that it must be spent in the county issuing the license they will register at I'latts uiouth rather than Lincola. .Mrs. George Thoinas, of Nebraska City, came up yesterday to visit with relatives and friends here over the week end.

Railroads and Unions Cannot Agree, According to Latest Advices Received from Chicago. The later advices received by the local labor unions from Chicago relative to the referendum vote tak en en the question of a five day week over the Burlington system, are con siderable different from the first re- ports and indicate some slight dif ferences between the company and the unions. The vote as announced was not against the live day week as was lirst stated, but desired the matter assurfed by an agreement from the railroad company that if the five day week was adopted there would be no further layoffs made of the shop em ployes over the system. The unions agreed to accept the live day week if this guarantee of no further layoff was given. This the railroad declined to do, claiming that the condition of work was such they could not do it. The result is that the matter has been left in the air. owing to the inability of the parties to get together. which has been set for bearing on tin twenty-ninth day of January, A.
