Beloved, now are we the sons ol
God, and It doth not yet appear
what we shall be: but we know that,

as he is pure. John lii, 2 and 3.

Addition to the dictionary of mod

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.

A New York man who i3 suing his

-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

:o:-
There may be some truth in Sec

boys all get back in the shops; when
Main street is all completed with its

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!
I have good pasture with run
ning water for a few head of cat
tle on my my farm, two miles east

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

Railroad Kate Reductions Exceed

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."

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

The average American tourist is

cheaply in Europe. And there are
no hotels in France and England
which compare with the highest
