Fear is as deadly to careers as it is to health. Failure often is the re sult of fear and the timidity and warped mental attitude produced thereby. On the other hand, success often is largely the result of self con fidence absence of fear. :o: YOUR TIME All men who are wasting their time should read and ponder the fol lowing, written some 200 years ago by the philosopher, Voltaire: "Time is of all things in the world the longest and the shortest, the liberties which the other took with, his person and he condensed his feel ing into tnree words "Don t paw me!" e all feel the same aversion to ward persons who make unwarrant ed assaults upon the citadel of our personality. Our sense of privacy is a sacred thing not to be ruthlessly invaded by every casual passerby. We express the Idea In our popu lar proverb which says that a man's I house is his castle and tne "peeping Torn" whose morbid curiosity i prompts him to peer into uncurtained . windows is very foten made the re- quickest and the slowest, the most j cipient of a charge of buckshot by minute and the greatest, the most neglected and the most regarded without which nothing can be done. -:o:- Every little boy is hoping that this rain will turn to snow so he can use his red sled. :o: Perhaps there would not be so TO SAVE LIVES The railroads build their tracks, they own the ground on which the tracks are laid.

The train does not ijump off the track and chase him 'thru the woods. The train is where ! it should be and where the motorist ousrht to know that It would be.

"It seems as If every body is giving perfumes this year." Well, the trial of the Christmas ci gar should be made proportionately less terrible. :o: Only three more shopping days. You have time to do some shopping yet. Come on. boys and girls, if you can't find what you want for Christ mas In Plattsmouth there is no use going elsewhere. Our merchants are well supplied with everything suit able for Christmas. :o: Because we do not drive a car we co'ild not be expected to understand their peculiarities. Rut it has always been a mystery to us why a car will bo uncomplainingly wade through the mud to town on Saturday yet will absolutely refuse to climb the hills to Sunday school on Sunday. :o: California has two presidential candidates in training for the battle to break Massachusetts grip on the ship of state's well known helm. And if two are found to be Insufficient, no doubt other favorite sons will be found to be insufficient, no doubt other favorite sons will be found ready to culls. the railroads sue careless drivers who j cause grade crossing accidents, in stead of waiting to be sued by them. It would be perfectly proper for them i to do so. The railroad is generally ; not all at fault for the accident. The ! drivers of automobiles are always to blame. Even in cases where the rail roads are not free from censure the driver of the automobile is princi pally to blame, for he knows what a railroad track is made for and he knows he should look both ways be fore crossing It. In ninety-nine times out of a hundred he can hear the train. In every case he can see it if he looks and every man should be re quired to use enough caution to keep from colliding with a train. At important grade crossings the railroads use safety devices but they cannot always prevent speed fiends or foolhardy drivers from rushing ahead despite the efforts that are made to prevent them. Even when the guards are down men sometime try to break through. The number of deaths at grade crossings is in creasing with the number of auto mobiles. The railroads owe it to the public to transport passengers and freight as rapidly as safety will permit. An engineer would slow down a train to take precautions for his own safety but heavy trains cannot be stopped quickly and justice to the passengers or the shippers of freight demands that they should not slow up unnec essarily. The toll of death can be lowered or gotten rid of by the drivers of car9 using such precautions as common sense would dictate. :o: YOUR FEARS the irate householder who very prop erly resents such an intrusion. l ne man wno leans over your which devours all that 13 little and -shoulder to read the newspaper you gives lire to all that Is great. jare holding, or still worse, the let- "Nothing is longer than time, be-. ter you are writing is properly re- cause it is the measure of eternity. garded as a pest, but the greatest Nothing :s shorter, Because it is in-; nuisance of all is the fellow who sufficient for all our plans.

Go to California NOW where days are filled with sunshine and nights are uniformly cool and clear. There is something out there which makes a 6trong appeal to everybody. Golf, tennis, mo toring over perfect highways, surf-bathing, mountain-climbing, dancing, or just resting among the orange groves and flowers. Excursion fares prevail. Go one way return an other, and stop off where yen wish. Make the most of your trip by using the BURLINGTON'S splendid service via Denver, the Pike's Peak Re gion, the Royal Gorge, Salt Lake City, Los An geles and San Francisco, and then return through The American Wonderland the Pacific Northwest Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, the Cas cades, Olympics and the Rockies.
