BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 EVEN AS HE IS PURE Beloved, now are we the sons ol God, and It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope In him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. John lii, 2 and 3. :o:- Candidates are on the hustle. -:o:- Spare the rod and spank the child. :o: Only twelve more days and then the primary. :o: The Fourth of July Is over. What next? Bargain day, or the primary election. -o:o Hon. John II. Morehead will be nominated on the democratic ticket for congress. :o: Festus Pester: I intend to offer a reward for a grown man who ever said "By jove!" o:o If .talk is cheap, we are wonder ing if the radio will tend to further reduce the price. :o:- Candidates for office have posted so many cards on trees and posts the woodpeckers are complaining. o: o The reason why some men are against women jurors is because their wives always believe them guilty. :o: Herold McCormick's threat to sue the newspapers that made his fa mous strikes us as being downright Ingratitude. :o: Some people have to be led if you want them to do anything, and oth ers have to be the leaders or they won't do anything. Those Illinois miners seem to have ,."modernK warfare" down T'pat In every particular except possibly singing a hymn of hate. :o: If all women In heaven are 25, as Conan Doyle says, it must be an un pleasant place for those foxy old boyg who like 'em young. :o: It will be hard to convince Secre tary Hoover that the coal supply is the most important question before the public, with cantaloupes in. :o: They used to call it the Grand Old Party, but when the republican tar iff bill is completed we can truthful ly call it the Gouging Old Party. O.'O A man may steal bread to keep from starving, but even so industri ous a partisan of the social offender as Victor Hugo never thought of making a. hero of the depraved wretches who wantonly steals flow ers from porch boxes. "It don't take a man long to bag his pants at the knees, ;and to make a finely tailored suit look thoroughly disrepu table that's the man of it," 1 avers Dainty Dorthy. But she goes on to explain that the man who is making "use of our cleaning, steaming 'and pressing services is keep ing his clothes in much more presentable condition than when he got acquainted with ns. And it doesn't cost much, either. Goods Called for and Delivered PHONE 7 s -tL Z&gZZi?'. PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Addition to the dictionary of mod ern similes: As happy as an Asso ciated Press district superintendent with a mine strike in his territory. Sometimes we sit and ponder how it is given to one man like Conan Doyle to know more about the next world than most people know about this one. -:o:- A New York man who i3 suing his wife for divorce complains that she threw a dictionary at him. lie ought to know that a woman will have the last word. -o: fr it has got so in this country that when you feel a dollar bill in your pocket, it serves only as a reminder that you've forgotten to pay a bill some place. :o: Nearly everything comes out right to those who are patient and know how to wait. There will be better times in the course of human events, but you must wait their coming. :o: Every time we read of a person prostrated by heat, we involuntarily hope that it is one of those persons who say, "It is hot enough for you?" But there probably is no such luck. -:o:- And now Germany is trying to maintain a republic in peace time with a press censor. This experiment will be watched with interest and some doubt by other republics run by press agents. -o:o- The president informed the coal operators and miners that they must adjust their differences in a' manner to command the sanction of Ameri can public opinion. Isn't that a some what novel Idea? Gasoline advanced in price again yesterday, though nobody can think of any reason. Mr. Rockefeller re cently gave away some dimes to some children on his birthday, but that was several hikes ago. . :o: Senator Lodge is going to be op posed for the republican nomination for senator by Speaker Joseph Walk er. It's putting It up to Massachus etts pretty hard to ask it to chose between Nahant and Brooklin. :o:- There may be some truth in Sec retary Weeks' Insistence that the American people want beer and light wines. But comparatively few seem to want the beverages bad enough to vote to let their neighbors have some too. -:o: When the strike is settled, and the boys all get back in the shops; when Main street is all completed with its new paving, and when new lights are placed, won't we bo some punk ins? Well, I guess yes. Don't you think so? :o:- There's a sight of painting going on in this town, and the housepaint ers are doing a good deal of it. You can see a home freshly done over on almost any street in town. When one man paints his house it puts a sim ilar notion in the head of his neigh bor's. to: Old age is telling on Mother Earth say experts of Carnegie Institute, who explain that she is losing some of her magnetism. She is wrinkled in the face, her teeth are falling out and she is subject to fits. But she's the best old Mother Earth anybody ever had. :o: There is no getting ahead of the Russian soviet, leaders. When the bi llies demani that all confiscated prop erties be restored to their owners, the bolshevist3 gently point out that much to their regret the former owu ' ers were disposed of before the prop erty was confiscated. ! :o: I The people who howl the loudest about high prices, as, a rule, are those who never stint-. themselves when opportunity is presented to , spend money for amusements. The high cost of being entertained is one of the most serious aspects of the nation's economic problem. . -:o: That pink thing which Chairman Fordney exhibited in the house, and which he said cost $15 in Europe, but for which American women paid $60, might mislead the thoughtless into forming an exaggerated idea of the cost of women's clathes. They only wear those pink things at night and make up for the cost of them by wearing very little in the daytime. STOP TO THINK That every time a man allows pre judice to influence him, he cheats himself. His mental vision is cloud ed. He doesn't see straight. He should see his opportunity. Boost his city. Here are some facts to bear in mind: That is requires great mental' and physical effort of every citizen to make your city climb the ladder of fame. ' That the time will come when all knockers will be forced to leave your city and their places will be filled by men who will be city boosters and city builders. That conventions bring more to your city because your city will be immeasurably benefited by the good will you generate and genial hosts. That your city is now upon the threshold of its greatest opportun ity for trade cultivation. That farming is a business and it is always possible to make business grow. That you should determine to make your business grow and re turn you profits on your Investment and labor. That your agricultural section needs and welcomes more home own ers. The family seeking a small home stead for poultry, dairying and small acreage for general farming can find desirable openings near your city. That every community has Its civ ic slackers, men who turn an Indif ferent eye to the needs of their city. :o: HOME OWNERS, Just now, when so much atten tion is being, given to community improvement work throughout the country, the importance of creating a home owning sentiment in rom cunities should be emphasized. The community, town or city having the greatest number of its people own ers of their homes will be found the most substantial place and generally the place with the most progressive spirit of civic beautifying. It is said, and with good reasons, that a home owner makes the best kind of a citizen of a town. Owning his home encourages him to be a better husband, a better worker, and a better neighbor than if he did not own his home. Ownership gives him incentive to push upward and on ward. The strength of the small towns of this country - is ;rootd in -iiome ownership. Without, stretching the truth it may be said that the unrest in the large cities is due to the lack of home ownership. Plattsmouth has many home own ers. It should have more. The home owner is a permanent citizen. He sticks to the town closer because he has financial Interest in it. He is a good citizen because he takes pride in making his home beautiful and thus encourages others to do the same. The home owner is the back bone of the town. :o: TO KILL AN ORGANIZATION Don't go to the meetings. If you do, go late and then upset a few chairs. Make a noise. If the weather doesn't suit you, don't think of going. Let the other fellows sweat. Go prepared to find fault with the officers and members. Be selfish and ask, "What do I get out of this?" Let the others do the work. Never use a front seat, sit back and if you can get somebody like yourself, carry on a loud conversa tion. This is good for the meeting. Hold back your dues what do they want money for? Or better yet, don't pay at all. Never encourage the officers. Tell their faults to outsiders and say the meetings are jokes. If a visitor comes to the city, don't think of bringing him there. Never speak up in the meetings. Do all your talking outside. When things are going harmon iously, do . something to engender strife. When others roll up their sleeves willingly and go to work, howl about things being run by a clique. :o: It is our firm belief that if the women of Nebraska who are quali fied will -go to the polls on the ISth of July we need have no cause to fear the result. Mighty few of them are going to 'cast their ballots for Inefficient candidates. Somehow or other, the average woman is prompt ed by an intuitive spirit in picking out candidates, and seeing the fal lacy and utter nonsense of their pal aver. Pasture for Rent!

URGES CONTINUA TION OF PLEASANT PAST RELATIONS Vice President Bracken of the Bur lington in Letter to Employes Urges Good Feeling. From Friday's Daily. The following letter from Vice President Bracken of the Burlington has been given out for publication covering the observance of peaceful conditions and which has been re quested publication: "It must bo known to every in telligent man that any act of mob violence such as occurred at Have lock recently is unauthorized and is going to . hurt instead of help any cause. It will receive the condemna tion of every good citizen. "The president of the United States spoke in) no uncertain terms at Marion yesterday as follows: " ' Liberty,' said the president, 'i3 gone in America when any man is denied by anybody the right to work and live by that work. A free Ameri can has the right to labor without any other's leave. It would be no les3 an abridgement to deny men to bar gain collectively. Governments can not tolerate any class or grouped domination through force. It will be a sorry day when group domination is reflected on our laws. The greatest menace to public well being was the man who sought to inflame passions when steady counsel is needed.' "I feel it is a duty of every con servative man to advice his fellows against any irresponsible actions of this kind. I also feel it is my duty in view of the long continued friend ly relations which exist between my self and Burlington employes to is sue a notice and a warning that any man guilty of violence of any kind will not be re-employed in the ser vice of this company now or at any time in the future." One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars Earned. The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent of tiis earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That beig the case he cannot be too care ful about unnecessary expenses. Very often a few cents properly invested. like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamber lain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cent3, and a bottle of it in the house often save a doc tor's bill of several dollars. Weyrich &. Hadraba.

CHEAPER TO SEE U. S. THAN EUROPE Railroad Kate Reductions Exceed Tliose of Sea Travel Better Accommodations, Also. Railway passenger rates for the summer have been reduced much closer to the 1914 levels than have the trans-Atlantic steamship rates and consequently many tourists are "seeing America first." Round trips to the great national park and to California and the Paci fic coast are now being offered aty - 1 1 . 1 1 A A, A - A V cuusi'ierituij jess cusi man a. irip lu Europe. The American rail fares from the middle west as compared with the summer fares in 1914 have increas ed as follows: To California and north Pacific coast 23 per cent; to Yellowstone park, 28 per cent; to Colorado 40 per cent; to Utah 42 per cent. These figures do not count the increase in sleeping cars, but even with this added, say railroad officials, the increase in all travel is only from one-third to one-half the increase in steamer fares compared to 1914. For example, the seas traveler of today finds that to sail from New York to Havre costs him from SS to 100 per cent more than it did in See Oisr Rugs and Floor Coverings better and cheaper than linoleum or congoleum.

The average American tourist is feeing charged at the rate of $11 to $12 a day for room with bath, thus j contradicting the widespread im pression that the money exchange i situation enables Americans to live cheaply in Europe. And there are no hotels in France and England which compare with the highest class hoteLs in this country. Biliousness and Constipation "Per years I v.-as troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My ap petite filled me. I lost my usual fcrce and vitality.
