No man can come to me, ex cept the Father which hath sent me draw; and I will raise him up at the last day. John vi, 43 and 44. o:o Would it be wrong to call a matri monial paper a male order sheet? :o: . They have tried about everything else in Europe but a" moratorium for talk. :o: When a man talks about nothing he generally tells everything he knows. I o:o Nothing takes the wind out of a bank account like keeping up with the neighbors. :o: The living the world owes us gen erally costs a lot more to collect than it's worth. There is no substitute for sleep. Amateur cornetists please paste this on your music stand. ,The latest map of the heavens shows 300.000.000 stars. Jiut little old earth is good enough for us. :o: "No compromise," says France. "No money," says Germany. "No chance," says the dove of peace. :o: One of the strangest things in this world i3 how long a vacation is in coming and how short in going. o:o One of Plattsmouth's most urgent needs Is fewer gasoline filling sta tions and more manufacturing plants. :o: The opinion of law and order some people have seems to be that the law should be just as they order it them selves. ... :o: ' Of course, the pedestrian has the right of way on street crossings, but the fact of the situation is, try and get It. :o: It is reported that motor cars are to be lighter. This ought to encour age the people who are in the habit of being run over. :o: Our idea of a grouch is the New Jersey judge who ruled that automo biles are designed for a left-hand drive and a hight-hand hug. o.-o Vacation life should be one of change, says the expert. Whether there will be any change left at the end of It is another question. :o: Spain reports the death of a bach elor at 114 years of age who had never taken a drink. What 13 this prohibition or anti-marriage propa ganda? :o: Complaint is made that there are more white collar workers than there are white collar jobs. The solu tion, perhaps, lies in the wider use of the work shirt. o:o A conference of governors next month will consider how to raise the price of wheat to the' farmer. Only two sure ways can be found: Raise less and eat more. :o: , Having proved to their own satis faction that each is a liar, the may or and comptroller of New York can now argue a while on their compara tive merits as such. o:o The only way to provent automo bile accidents is to be careful. La ment over a tragedy is of little avail, and cannot bring the victims back to earth. It is better to be safe than sorry. :o:- Another argument we hope to hear but never expert to is the one between a man's throat specialist and his dentist aa to whether it Is his tonsils or his teeth that causes his rheumatism. :o: In connection with an eastern quiz over a minimum wage for women, one of the lady organizers in the Central Labor union gave the em phatic opinion that no woman should be expected to work for less" than $50 a week. If it were possible to fix a rate like that by statute there would be a lot of women out of their jobs. Maybe the idea 13 that no lady can support a husband in the style to which he is accustomed un less she can roll home fifty bones every Saturday night. PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Yes, It is still hot, and no mistake, -:o:- Hot. Hotter, heating. Hottest! And still a -:o:- When a man falls it Is usually on the side to which he has learned. :o: Don't cuss when your hat blows off. You'll feel better if you laugh with the rest of them. :o: Remember the date of the biggest bargain day ever pulled off in Plattsmouth Wednesday, July 18 :o: Rather odd, isn't it, that a state prohibition director should have to keep assuring the public that he is dry? ' r-:o: A pretty Plattsmouth school marm went to the barber shop the other day to have her hair bobbed and lost her nerve. :o: If you want to make your wife mad just push back from the dinner table and ask her what she is going to have for supper. :o: The German government has for bidden gambling In marks. Does It mean to set the example by reform ing its own habits? The new third party having split within a few hours of its formation, we suppose it now may be called the third and fourth party. :o: The women in Siberia are credited with doing more charitable relief work than in any other country. Likely their inspiration is greatest. :o: The Murray bathing pool Is a fa vorable resort for Plattsmouth peo ple and many of our citizens go down every night to take advantage of the fine water for bathing. : :o: : Sixty years ago the women of America were wearing. $2,864,000 worth of wire in their hoop skirts. They are wearing a good many times Lhat now In their hats. -:o:- The closest citizen on earth was the one who gave his little boy a dime, stole it out of the kid's pocket in the. night and then licked-him next morning for losing it. :o: The heavy earring fashion is bad ly disfiguring the ears of London so ciety women. We don't care. What's worrying us is what short breeches are going to do to George Harvey's legs. :o: Governor Wood announces that the head hunters of the Philippines have given up cannibalism and gone in for politics and office holding. It's tough job, but we'll Americanize those islanders at long distance yet. ..-o: Senator Underwood thinks Europe would be ready to go to war again if it had the price. And perhaps Sena tor Underwood is aware there are Americans who advocate lending Europe the price in some form or an other. :o: Those who saw Jess Willard at the Movie Garden last week had, per haps, the pleasure of seeing the next champion of America. If he Is big enough to knock out Louis Angel Firpo he will have another chance atDempsey. :o: The secretary of the treasury has gone to Europe. He took an extra grip with him in case the old world should pay off the $10,000,000,000 it owes to Uncle Sam. It is feared, however, that as a collector his -mission will fail. He is more likely to be compelled to write home for money to finish his trip. :o: Geraldine Farrar's divorce Is said to have cost her $100,000 and she still has an angry co-respondent with a $100000 damage suit to be disposed of. This is one of the penal ties of fame Back In the old town there were lawyers who would guar antee a divorce for $30 and that in cluded the decree. :o: The tide is turning and Europeans are coming back to the church, re ports Prof. Iw II. Roessing, after an epidemic of despair and religious doubt reaction from the war and its misery. The swing back to the church in Europe is the kind of re construction that counts most. Fop Europe's real troubles and problems are spiritual. FOUR YEARS OF "PEACE" The past week marked the fourth anniversarv of the signing of the treaty of Versailles. The signing was hailed as an act which would render future war difficult, if not Impossi ble, and there was much rejoicing, Since June 28, 1919, there have been so many wars that It is hard to count them. Some of the lesser ones have already been forgotten. Nowhere In Europe was there any celebration last week. If anyone, remembered the significance of the date no one moved to make any adoo about it In the United States, of course, the date is significant. The American delegation at Versailles affixed their signatures along with the signatures of all the other plenipotentiaries but the American government never ratified the action of its representa tives. To what degree the ineffectiveness of the treaty has been due to Ameri can non-ratification can never be definitely known. American ratifica tion would, of course, have given the League of Nations a better chance to prove its worth. A league backed by all the great nations might have ful filled the predictions of its sponsors. It might have prevented many of the conflicts which have disturbed the world during four years. Even limp ing along without American partici pation there is no doubt that the league has prevented several wars and has settled disputes which might eventually have led to wars. Today It is the fashion to condemn the treaty of Versailles as an inlqui tious compact. Thi fashion has been developed largely by skilful propa ganda, but it is futile to assert that the Versailles treaty is flawless. It has defects, but none of them are vi tal, and most of them would never have become apparent had all the signatory powers sincerely endeav ored to live up to the terms of the "treaty. America, technically at war with Germany for a long time after the signing of the Versailles treaty, is today more profoundly at peace than most of the nations whose govern ments gabe their ratifications. But there are many Americans who feel that the world's peace, which in cludes America's peace, would today be far more secure had the United States accepted the work done at Versailles and by- helpful co-operation facilitated the solving of (he problems which remaining unsolved keep Europe in a welter of perilous uncertainty. : :0: GIVE IT A TRIAL Within a century, says a noted feminist, women will be in charge of the business world and men will be doing the work at home all the after noon. But we can get even. We can get out the vaccum cleaner and keep it going when she is trying to take her Sunday afternoon nap. And we can spoil her Monday night dinner by telling her home many of those and these she had in the wash. She can go in business, but then she will have to do what is the hard est part of the washing these day3. She'll have to put up the clothes line before she drives down town. Maybe when that time comes fath er will get something for Christmas, if it is no more than a bungalow apron. Wait till sho calls up and says she will be a little late getting home to dinner. Wait till we get a chance to say, "what are you doing in a pay station?" And wait until she has to use a nail for a button. It looks as if man is about to come Into his own. Imagine this dialogue: "I am nearly dead, Emma, with the work around this house. When are we going to have a maid? By the way, Emma, I wish you would stop over to the electric supply house and send up a woman to fix our electric iron. I am right In the midst of the ironing. And on your way home stop at the cash and carry grocery on the corner and get a sack of flour. a bushel of potatoes, six pound3 of coffee and a tub of butter." We men are willing to do our bit, but they will have to take up to a movie once in awhile, dishes or no dishes. They can go till morning. We will pour the tea and they will have to carve the tough chicken at Ihe Sunday dinner. That will be something. Anl if they want their breakfast, they can get up and get it. :o: There is nothing new in the world. The old -oaken bucket shop has been going regularly to the well in Wall street in spite of the enactments to impair its service." In this game the proprietor bets his brains against the customer's money and presently they both go broke. One has a vacant head and the other an empty wallet. :o: Advertising will pay you.

'FOUR HORSEMEN' SUPREME AS FILM Sweeps From Plains of Argentine to Pre-war Paris and Then to the German Invasion. An epic tale of surging pasCion sweeping from the wide plains of the Argentine through the fascinating frivolities of pre-war Paris into the blazing turmoil of the German inva sion of northern France is unfolded in "The Four Horsemen of the Apoc alypse," the $1,000,000 Rex Ingram production made for Metro, which has been the screen sensation of New York, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit and Los Angeles. The pic ture, adapted by June Mathis from the great novel of Vincente Blasco Ibanez, has intensified the dramatic force of the original story and it holds the spectators breathlessly in tent as with swiftT sure strokes it hammers home the terror and gran deur of the war and a great deal of humor and light-hearted gaiety that keeps bubbling up through the turgid stream of struggling human ity when the world was in arms. The director, Rex Ingram, has suc ceeded in concentrating the great struggle in a series of unforgetable pictures that flash out the quintes sence of life at white heat. "The Four Horsemen" is the fulfillment of the promise of a noble art in pic tures. It come3 to the Parmele the atre three days starting Sunday. . REV.

ENTERTAIN FOE FRIEND Last evening, Missfc3Helen and Alice Louise Wcscott entertained very pleasantly for Miss Olive Bonge, who is soon to leave the city and make her home elsewhere and in her sroing leaves many friends who will greatly miss her. The hostesses entertained at a "line party" in' the earlier part of the evening at the Parmele to wit- auu iaifr were tiiieriainea at sua- nyside" where an informal musical program was given ana very mucu enjoyed by the fourteen young ladies who were present. At a siutable hour dainty refreshments were served that added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. MY OLD FORD .Of my old Ford everybody makes fun. They say it was born in nine teen one. Maybe it was, but this I'll bet, she's good for many a long mile yet. The windshield's gon and the radiator leaks, the fan belt slips and the horse power squeaks. She shakes the screws and nuts all loose, but I getforty miles on a gallon of Juice. When I can't get gas I burn kerosene and I've driven home on Paris Green. She has a rattle in front and a grind in the rear, and a Chinese puzzle for a steerin ggear. Her coils are dead and her plugs won't fire, and her pis ton rings are baling wire. But in spite this she'll pull me through and that's about all any car can do. With high priced cars they give you tools, some extra parts and a book of rules. Some wire stretchers and a pair of shears are all I've carried for fifteen years. And If I live I'll see the day she falls to pieces like the one-horse shay. If old Hank Ford stays in the game, I'll buy another by the same durn name. Exchange. MACCABEE LADIES MEET Last evening the members of the W. B. A. of the Maccabees held a very pleasant meeting at their lodge room in the M. W. A. building and despite the warm weather a goodly number were present.
