All right, -if you don't keep them too long. j :o: I One trouble with man is that he has one warm nightshirt he doesn t want to change all winter. :o: There are no English in Ireland, and the indications are that there will soon be no Irish there. :o: Don't be discouraged about getting on the front page. It took King Tut 3,200 years to get there, but he land ed at last. :o: What's th matter with Henry Ford? Isn't he content to have one of hi.-i cars named after a president the Lincoln. -:o:- Spring is on the way. The first blizzard has appeared in the eastern states evidently on its way north for the summer. :o: It is high time that somebody pro posed an investigation to find out where the late King Tutankhamen got all his riches. :o: The government is a godo deal like a family. It was going to get itself a new isthmian canal until it learn ed what they cost. :o: Well, anyway, in its appointment of a new postmaster general the ad ministration appears to have effected the special delivery of Harry New. ' :o: Senator N'orris urges election of president direct by the poople and, incidentally, he would like to tell the neople who they must choose for t.'.a office. Paris is trying to bring the bustle back into style. The French capital is evidently tired of being known as the place where beautiful fashions originate. :o: Woolen prices are going to ad vance 25 per cent this season, says an authority, Give a manufacturer an inch on a tariff and he gets his on a mile of cloth. :o: Personally, we make no claim to being an economist, but our experi ence -is that there isn't much profit in cigar coupons after you deduct the cost of the cigars.

He is sufficiently proficient to give the complete course, without having any assistant instruction. , :o: "Vanderbilt left 50 million," says a headline. They nearly always, leave It, nowadays, but it was not always 60. When King Tut died and the estate went to probate the local news papers said, "Young Scion of the Tharaoh Took 20 Million."

Yale students voted they had rather marry women with jobs. :o: The number of employes has been reduced by almost one hundred thou sand In the last two years, It is an nounced. And happily the govern ment ha3 gone on apparently un crippled in spite of this dangerous experiment. :o: Judge Kenyon of Iowa says he will not be a presidential candidate, as he "is absolutely and irrevocably out of politics." Put us down the same. We positively and unconditionally refuse to run. We would rather be writing than be president. :o: Homer sold his verses for a crust of bread and composed others. The world has yet to offer an example of a genius, who amassed wealth with out losing his talent. Charlemagne very wisely said to his minister, "We must feed our poets, but not fatten them." :o: Easter comes unusually errly this year April 1. The date is f.xed ac cording to a theoretical moon known a3 the pascal moon. Easter is sup posed to fall on the first Sunday af ter the full moon that occurs on or next after March 21, the nominal spring equinox. -o:o- Dr. Percy Grant is quoted as re gistering doubt as to the obsolute au thenticity of the Garden of Eden in cidents as recorded in the Scriptures. Even the existence of an Eden is doubted by the dominie. For why? Any Plattsmouth citizen can find paradise without using a compass. :o: The French so'-Mers not only seiz ed 12,000,000 German marks, but captured the plates from which they were printed. It would only be jus tice for the German government to tell the French to take the plates i:ome and print their own repara tions. It doesn't seem possible for a nation to sink so low as to steal a carload of German marks. -:o: America became great when steel rails were cheap. The nation became a network of iron highways when railroad rails were selling at $18 a ton. Through Its transportation fa ciiities its ability to get its wares to market It has continued great. The railways made America and now a lot of flannel-mouthed socialists will never sleep until they break the railroads. :o: , REX YOUNG General Auctioneer Live Stock Real Estate ' Personal Property PHONE 314 Plattsmouth, Nebraska ' Call at my Expense 4. COL. HARVEY'S PROPHECY Recently the British prime minis ter had this to say with respect to the question of the effect of our pol icy of isolation on the affairs of Eu rope: "I am not going to estimate what was the effect. It is incalculable. In my belief,-if circumstances had so ar ranged it that America could have played her part in the peace settle ment as she played it in the war, the world would be in a much better po sition today." Two evenings later our ambassa dor to London, Colonel Harvey, is reported to have made this statement in a speech: "America will probably have to come in. We were glad to get out. We were, in fact, just as glad to get cut as England would be if she could do so. But America will probably have to come in. Nations cannot fol low their desires, but must serve hu manity." One could imagine that Colonel Harvey's prophecy was somewhat in tended to be an answer to the obser vation of the British prime minister which it so closely followed that Col onel Harvey accepted the judgment of 51 responsibility which the prime minister so delicately pronounced on the policy of the United States, and meant his prophecy to be also a promise of atonement. But whether such a spirit of confession may prop erly be attributed to the statement of Colonel Harvey or not, it is hard ly to be denied that the situation which Colonel Harvey thinks is drawing U3 back into Europe is a tes timony to the failure and futility of the policy which was dictated by de sire, uoionei iiarvey nas aiscovereu that nations are subject to other con siderations which may make the gratification of desire a blunder. That much of confession at least there is in his prophecy that we shall probably be constrained to go back to Europe and take up again the duty which desire betrayed us into shirk ing. A mass meeting was held in Xew York the other night to voice a pro test against France's invasion of the Ruhr. Dr. Charles W. Elliott wa3 mong those who were invited to ad dress it. Dr. Elliott did not appear. But he did send it a written mes sage which, however, for a: reason that Its text makes obvious, was not read. "Our government," Dr. Elliott wrote, "should not now condemn French Ruhr invasion. Losses and suffering in Europe and Near East since ID 19, and French fear about future security, are direct conse quences of our refusal to join the League of Nations." The majority judgment may not quite accord with that opinion. But that the policy which triumphed when our senate rejected the peace treaty was a blunder that Is largely accountable for the miseries of Eu rope is now coming to be seen by many who then lauded it as the dic tate of wisdom. The British prime minister is a witness. So is Senator Borah. So is Colonel Harvey. And one might see the president's sudden eagerness to have the United States give its fealty to the permanent court of.international justice that he is in the way of becoming one. ;o SEE WHAT CONGRESS DID! "Conditions have grown better steadily" and consistently from month to month since March, 1921, when the sixty-seventh congress practically was in continuous ses sion, says a statement of the repub lican national committee. Yes, we recall the situation and thought it peculiar at the time. Early in the morning of March 4, 1921, our bank account stood at $30.15. As we have worked every day since and managed to spend a little less than we earned, the bal ance in the bank is several dollars larger than it was on the morning of March 4, 1921, when the sixty seventh congress began to function. We had foolishly supposed our la bors had something to do with the change. But we are glad to be set right by the national committee. Now we know it was congress that did it. - i :o: - Governor Bryan, made certain promises to the taxpayers of Nebrasi ka in case he was elected. He was elected and by a big majority, too, over Charles Randall the pet candi date of Sam McKelvie and some of the republican barnstormers in the legislature, who are now leaving no stones unturned to keep the governor from living up to his promises. These fellows care nothing for the taxpay ers or the state so long a3 they can serve their lord and master Sam' Mc Kelvie, who is responsible for the present high taxes, which many farmers aer hardly able to meet. . o:o They seem to have found nearly everything in the tomb of Tut ex cept the well known pills named for him. .
