BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2,00 WITH THEM THAT LOVE GOD Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful Cod, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy vii,- 9. A man and wife are one even tho they sound like a dozen. :o: Very few people like lettuce and yet it has a good heart. :o: The best thing about most things is that they don't matter. -;o:- Cheer up. About $13,000,000 less gum was chewed last year. :o: What this country needs is for prices to be reduced 100 per cent. . o:o The only thing around the house that never gets in the way is the yard. :o: The only reliable first sign of spring is when we see the last sign of winter. :o:- Dempsey's manager says he may fight three times this year. Sure, and it may freeze next July. :o:- It is hard to see how France can be short of money when one thinks of how much Rene Vivian! and Emile Coue have picked up in this country lately. :o: Veritable mortifications are those which are endured in secret. Vanity plays such a pari in martyrdom of pedestal that it afford a secret grati fication. ;o: Bishop Candler says Europe is "too poor to fight, and too mean to quit." At that; we think. Europeans have more provocation than any other set of people. -:o:- Vour wife and employer don't want you to keep late hours. Wives tnd employers know best. Anyway, wives and employers run this mod ern world. -rot- Doctors claim to have isolated the influenza germ and not a few of our townspeople are positively convinced that it was their bad luck to run in to the place where they parked. to: An improvement in the country's postal service is boasted In Washing ton. Nobody will have, any protest to otter if our mail deliveries can get to be as regular as our jail deliver ies. :o: You can just bet that the woman window washer in New York clung to the ledge of that fifteen story win dow for four hours until help ar rived. She wasn't dressed for the 6treet. -tot- One of our senators is accused ojf writing in' the word "laughter" in re vising one of his speeches for the congressional record. Well, it wasn't his fault if the other senators could n't see the joke. -:o:- And now a United States senate committee is engaged in an investi gation of the oil industry. Not that anything will be done about the oil industry. Not that anything will be done about the oil industry, but we'll doubtless hear a lot of inter esting stuff. ; :o:- It used to be that knocking out the world's champion pugilist placed one belligerently In the center of the ring. Now It seems merely to es tablish one In the center of the stage. And tlie saddest of It U that the world's best scrappers are just about the world's poorest actors. -rot- Arduous' physical labor affords re lief from 'mental anguish. Leisure augments the ills of the mind and the heart. Fortunate ere those whom necessity compels to fix, their thoughts' and their - activities on something outside themselves. When retrospection takes the form of self pity it is a vice. ... -to: President Harding is said to be de sirous of transferring Dr. Work to the cabinet vacancy in the Interior department and making Senator Harry New into a postmaster gen eral. Having a doctor at Work on Uncle -Sam's interior would be in ac cord with : modem specifications especially with a New race at -the postoffice window. PES YEAR IN ADVANCE All France has gotten out of the Ruhr is coal mines. -:o: An actress is suing for divorce and custody of her reputation. :o: The world owes you a living but you must show it what for. :o: Women are taking UD sports. Be very careful if you are a sport. :o,: The early bird may get the worm but the early bud gets the frost. -:o:- An Illinois minister has married 3,001 couples and is still at large. o : o Motormeters are nice things. Fre quently they are all that is missing. What in the world would this world do if all the people did like you? :o: According to the movies all west erners either ride bucking horses or are villians. -o:o- In Rome, girls out of jobs are ask ing for husbands, which is one way of finding work. to: Rest assured that even if Turkey does fight England it will not cut off our Turkish baths. -o:o A giant cobra in New York zoo has shed its skin. They will skin anybody in that town. :o: A Georgetown (Del.) boy stole to go to Florida, inese oatning gin pictures should be supressed. A Mount Clemens (Mich.) aviator fell four miles and was uninjured. but it is a dangerous habit. to: You can tell a horse's age by look ing at its teeth, but can guess a wom an's years better by her tongue.- The difference between a night gown and an evening dress is two yards in favor of the night gown. to: Also we have observed that a pro fessional gambler needn't ever starve as long as his wife takes in sewing. - tot Census shows that the United States has 63,424.000 hogs which leaves only one-third of us who are not. -oto- As a general thing, when a man is worrying himself sick it is a sign that he isn't working himself to death. -tot- Sometimes we are ready to believe that the ground hog isn't the only public character that is afraid of his shadow. -tot- How much better off the world would be if everybody had to go "to school again and we or you could be the principal. tot- When the average man picks up the newspaper he scattered over the floor he thinks he is a great help around the house. ot- When a man has a really musical ear, jazz doesn't make him want to dance as much as it makes him want to kick something. to: Enough literature i3 extra to choke the Atlantic, yet most of us are shamefully ignorant, and some of us, we fear, are proud of it. tot It is also possible that France may know more about her next door neighbors than Senator Borah does. having lived near them longer. . :o: The disposition of a whole genera tion of muckrakers have been hope lessly soured by the vents of the last eight years. They began with the dis covery that nothing old in rce way ot government is true; jnid Iney have DO found that nothing m.w is good Perhaps -they have rediscovered an old truth, that life itself is tolerable only on condition that one does not examine It too cloely. :0: REX YOUNG i General Auctioneer 4 Live Stock Real Estate Personal Property PHONE 314 4- PlatUmouth, Nebraska' y Call at. my Expense"' Kf T ..? 1T A WAHNDTG A s6nabl warning i issued by tlx United State govtrnmlnt sar inga system against those beguilin scoundrels who offer new stamps ior niA in the, form of all manner of "get-rich-quick" adventures. Though it Bopma hut vesterday that the frauds of a Ponzi were laid bare, and the losses of his multitudes of dupes held ud as an example to the crdu lous, the Washington authorities find it needful again to sound a note of caution. They declare in the course of rommnnlcatlon to the press: "Just as the people are getting cash for the government war securities now fall ing-due, an extraordinary effort is being made by swindlers and fake stock promoters to get their money away from them. Reports have be gun ot appear that these human vul tures are preying upon the public in the hope of getting part of the six hundred and twenty-five million dol lars which the government is pay ins: out on the matured 1918 war savings stamps. The bogus oil wells and gold mines are again in evidence Beautifully engraved stock certifi cates are being put out with glitter ing tales of quick wealth. Many de vices for trapping the unwary and taking their money from them are in evidence. On this account it is time to issue another warning in the interest of people with hard' earned savings to invest." There are so many sound profit able forms of investment, so many savings banks that are wholly de pendable, so many securities as solid as Stone Mountain, that no one Is under the remotest necessity of tak ing a foolish venture. Before en trusting one's income earnings to any sort of bland schemer who prom ises a fortune over night, one should at least consult a reputable banker or bond dealer. A moment of caution may thus save years of regret. :o: HUMILITY Humility may well be called the queen or tne cnristian graces. 10 know our sinfulness and weakness. and to feel our need of Christ is the essence of humility, and the very be ginning of saving religion. It is the grate that was the distinguishing trait to the truly( great in al the ages. Abraham 'and Moses and' Job and David and Daniel and; Paul were all eminently humble men. More important still, it is grace within, the reach of every true Chris tian. All may not have money to give away. All may not have the time or opportunity to win souls for Jesus Christ. All may not have the grae the tact and knowedge to do good in the world, but all men and women can be bumble. The root of humility is knowledge. The man who knows God and his own heart, who knows God and his holiness, who knows Jesus and the price at which he was redeemed such a man can never be proud or haughty. He will count himself, like Moses, unworthy of the least of all God's mercies. He will say to him self like Job, "I am vile," or. like Paul, "I am thief of sinners." Ignor ance, sheer ignorance, ignorance of self, of God, and of Christ, is the real secret of pride. From that mis erable self ignorance, may we pray daily to be delivered. He is a wise man who knows himself and he who knows himself will never find noth ing within to make him proud. tot OUR CROP OF WIDOWS The census shows America ' has over three and a half million widows. You'd have lost money if you had been betting on the total without knowing it. How many of those widows and their children were left amply pro vided for when the man of the house passed on? Most husbands and fathers do a fairly good job. at providing for their families, on this side of the grave. Few of them carry enough insurance, probably because death seems far off until a few hours or days before the last heartbeat. :o: - . Testimony in an Illinois divorce case showed that the husband spent $25 for a fancy fishing rod, but made a noise like a hyena when the wife wanted a new bonnet. She had to beg for a week to get $3 to buy her an nual hat. The judge gave the wtfo a decree. Tho woman was entitled to her fishing tackle as well as the hus band and $3 will not buy very much of hat in a millinery shop in thes. times. Nowadays the court, are hold ing that marirage Is a fifly-llfty proposition. :o; We must evidently revise the na tion that the Chinaman in his native haunts subsists chiefly on rice. Ac cording to our consul at Antung his favorite food is wheat flour, corn coming second and ric a poor third. Is this the first step in" de orienting the Far East? The total cost 61 governing tlx people of the United Statti 11 &4arly eight and one-halt button dollars a year. ' On the basis of forty million work ers whose gross income Is $6O,OO0r 000,009 a year, this means that the burden of government on every man and woman in business or profession al life, including the 2,000,000 per sons who are on the public payrolls in nation, states, counties, cities and other municipalities, would be about $220 annually. If they should con tribute labor instead of dollars, ev ery worker would give as his share more than seven weeks' labor every year. Every week every one of us would work approximately one day without pay as our contribution to the cost of preserving life, liberty and pursuit of happiness Under our intricate and far-flung system of gov ernment. This estimate is based upon such official records as are available for the year 1921. The number of public servants in the United States Is not less than 2,000,000. In other words, we have working for us today in civil life and in the national defense, full time employes to the number of all the military forces we sent abroad during the world war. In the lists are more than 50,000 town and city firemen, 82,000 policemen, 115,000 guards, watchmen and doorkeepers, 107,000 common laborers, 12,000 de tectives and 10,000 sheriffs, 56,000 city and county inspectors of various kinds, 32,e0 postmasters, 225,000 sailors, marines and soldiers, 2,300 life savers and so on down to snake doctors and star gazers. The census of 1920 gives the total number of workers within the Unit ed States as 41,614,248. One out of every 20, therefore, is on the public payroll. If the railroads of the coun try were to marshal their forces, they would fail to match the army of men and women holding remunerative government positions. All the coal mines and all the automobile plants in the country combined fall short of the man power of government. All the hired men on all the farms in the United States barely equal in number our public payroll attaches. As to the cost of the various forms of government activity, following is the summary , for .the. calendar year 1921: -... Cost of maintaing the federal government. 4, 666, 671. 594 Cost maintaining 48 state governments. 1,008,540,232 Cost of maintaining 253 municipal gov ernments in cities -of more than 30,000 inhabitants 1,63S,296,052 Cost of maintaining the municipal gov ernments of all towns and cities of from 2,500 to 30, 000 population 431,287.059 Cost of maintaining municipal govern ments in 12,905 in corporated commun ities of less than 2, 500 population 123.147.6S7 Cost of maintaining county governments in the 48 states 952,068,972 Total cost oF Ameri can government in 1921 $8, 460, 011,587 By this method of computation the total cost of. American government in 1921 was within hailing distance of. eight and one-half billion dollars. That sum is beyond human Imagina tion! no man can visualize it in bulk or power any more than he can con ceive of space. But there are com parisons, through which a sense of the magnitude of this sum can read-, ily be obtained. Assume, for instance, that all this money had to be paid out In gold. If we were to ferret out all the gold above ground in the world today the sum would be but little more than sufficient for one year's pay ments. The national income of the United States recently has been estimated by leading economists at from sixty to sixty-five billions of dollars an nually. The government's own inves tigation dates so far back as to be of little value, but lends some credence to these estimates. Assuming that sixty billions is approximately cor rect, the cost of government is about 14 per" cent niore than one-eighth t our hatonal incom. We' have forty million workers, or thereabouts. If .the-cost of govern ment ; were to be equally distributed among them,, the burden '.on every man. and woman in. business or pro fessional life. Including the two mil-' lion government workers,, would le about $220 a year.: On the basis Df five persons to one. family, the cost of government is about $400 -per family "per -yeir. " - Or - figuring It still another way. Our forty . million workers enjoy .an 1 estimated gross income of sixty hil- e year rrpm sai(i 22nd day of Jan lien dollars. Of that they, contributed uary. 4-923 ' - - about 1 4 per .cent for the maiute-1 - Witness, toy . band and the seal of ..he of the government, it tbln -iM ay l should voniribute labor instead ot; . - - ALt:eN" J.

Every wek very one of us would work approximately on day withont pay as cur share of government upkeeps and our contri bution to the cost of government. .A .
