His ability is un questioned and his friends are num bered by the thousands. :o: Scientists say men are living long er than in former generations. Of course scientists assert that the new longlivlty is due to progress in sci ence, but It may be due to curiosity.

Eut under the primary system, everybody has a chance to tell him. :o: ' ' Is there any principle in Judge Wray withdrawing in favor of R. B. Howell? Tell us where it is. It is done "principally" in an effort to de feat Senator Hitchcock.

However, they are both too little to be running around by themselves. Such small children have no business on the main thor oughfares alone. Especially where grown people have to be very cau tious themselves. 0:0 THEY DIE TODAY Today 3.800 Americans die. That is the average number that daily go to join the billions who have passed into eternity. This year nearly 1,400,000 Amer icans will die. If they meet death at the same time and In the same community for instance, by earthquake or bat tle the catastrophe would be talked about for centuries. But they slip away gradually, one here, one there. So there Is no gen eral excitement about their depar ture. Of the 3,800 who die today, 27 are murdered and 41 commit suicide. Rather a bad record for each 24 hours. The rest are nipped off the trees of life by disease, old age and acci dents. No matter how they happen to de part, the last thought of most of is: "It has been an interestng ex perience. Life on earth is a journey. I wonder where I came from and where I am going?" While 3,800 die today, 6,599 ba bies give their first cry and are born in America. That is striking an av erage. As nearly as can be accurately fig ured, about 2,400,000 babies will be born this year in our country. The births exceed deaths by about 1,000,000 a year. Deaths are necessary to make room for the newcomers. These figures seem big. But to get the total of deaths and births for the whole world, you will have to multi ply the American figures 'by at least 20. - A pretty big organization is hu manity, 28,000,000' dying and 48, 000,000 born each year. One who can graps such big fig ures is not apt to become conceited about his individual importance. And in the long run, after the des ert sands have covered up civiliza tions as they decline and vanish one after another, the whole of man's existence can be summed up in the gigantic statistics of human deaths. All roads lead to it, no detour. PULTTSHOUTH SE2H- 70UBNAX GARY SAYS BUSI NESS PROSPECTS LOOKING BRIGHT Steel Magnate Finds Nebraska among States with Promising Outlook when Conditions Clear. Chicago, III, Aug. 30. E. II. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, in Chicago today, on his way to New York from a va cation spent chiefly in Colorado, said that "there seems to be a general feeling that activities are increas ing and that great prosperity will be witnessed whenever conditions re lating to production and transporta tion will permit." Mr. Gary said he thought there still was 'a good deal of profiteer ing in business, building materials and some trades as well." He added that he looked upon the proposed ac tion of Henry Ford, who has an nounced he would close his automo bile plants on September 16, unless some way is found of obtaining fuel, as simply a protest against paying extortionate prices. Mr. Gary, when questioned con cerning general business conditions said: As you know, I have been away from my office during the month of August, and while I have been in formed from time to time in a gen eral way in regard to our business, I am not sufficiently advised to give information as to prevailing condi tions or to make predictions in re tard to the future. "I mav with safetv sav that wher- ever I have been, including particu-' lariy Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, there seems to be a general feeling that great prosperity will be witnessed whenever conditions re lating to production and transporta tion will permit. 'The farm communities of all the states are still the backbone of the nation. At the present time, how ever, farmers are paying too much for productive costs and are receiv ing too little for their products. "I think there is still a good deal' a I 1 1 II.

To obtain satisfactory progress ri .r;;;vr:r; ,T,7ro":'tition of the above named bankrupt pie and all groups of people, every one meeting strict observance of the law and departmental rules adopted pursuant to law. 'More and more everyone is made to realize that only to the extent of fair dealing, proper treatment, rea sonable prices and faithful service can it be expected that that confi dence and patronage will be extend ed." BLACKS ARE A TARGET FOR HITCHCOCK'S WRATH Calls Senate's Attention to Reports of Crimes Committed by Black Colonials on the Rhine. Washington. Aug. 31. Calling at ention to reports of crimes commit ted by French black colonials on the Rhine. Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, ranking democrat on the foreign re lations committee, declared today in he senate that it was the duty of he American government to suggest to Frauce the substitution of white roop3. "Reports of returning American ravelers," said Senator Hitchcock, liave brought news that France has thousands of black troops quartered among the German population and hat repulsive crimes are again caus- ng race hatred. We may sit idly by while France in her folly proceeds to cripple, if not crush the German re public by demands for reparations which ail the world knows Germany annot possibly meet at this time. But we as a nation are In part re sponsible for tiie Rhineland being under military occupation and it is our right, as well as our duty to pro test against quartering half civilized black troops among white people where they appear as conquerors and act as criminals."
