LINES TO REIEMBER Respect the truth. Be true. There is no con science, there is no noble life, there is no capacity for sacrifice where there is not a religious, a rigid, and a rigorous respect for truth. Strive, then, to fulfill this difficult duty. Untruth cor rupts whoever makes use of it before It overcomes him against whom it is used. Giuseppe Prezzonni.

IESS0N OF THE RADIO Abraham Lincoln as a boy and voune man studied far Jnto the night !by the flickering light from a fire- place, doing problems in arithmetic with chalk on a shovel, aiucn oi his wisdom and future greatness or iginated there by the jog fire. We sometimes wonder how much studying Lincoln would have done at night if he had owned a radio set. Being decidedly human, he undoubt edly would have wasted a lot of tlm amusing himself with concerts com ing mysteriously through the night Radio in moderation is nqt a waste of time. It provides the entertain ment necessary for relaxation, in which the brain's batteries recharge themselves. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But not as dull as all play and no work. Many hundreds of thousands of ra dio bugs devote the entire evening to their receiving sets e"ven losing needed sleep. They enjoy it, but it gets them nowhere. Some of their radio time could be profitably de voted to studying how to become fit ted to hold a better and more re sponsible job. Thex answer in the majority of cases, of course, is that' if apare time werent monopolized by radio, they'd be wasting it some other way. The writer pleads guilty to being one of the people inclined to carry radio to excess, thereby wasting yal uable time that could more profit ably bemused for self improvement But radio is not alone in this mat ter. Back of it all is a fundaments 1 law: Extremes meet, and the best of things can be carried to extremes, to stinginess, it is a vice. Liberality is commendable,- but developed to its logical conclusion makes one a spendthrift. Wise is the man who works hard, foolish the man who works too hard. "Sharp dealing" and cunning carried to extremes, easily can become dishonesty. So it goes. You like polite peo ple, but there is such a thing as be ing annoyingly courteous. Fine sen timents are commendable; an ex treme tendency this way becomes sickening. We're not sure that it is possible to be good, though James Whitcomb Riley once brilliantly de scribed a certain man. as a fellow without a single redeeming vice. Common sense is in moderation, sticking to the middle of the road, carrying nothing to extremes. THE HAPPY HUNDRED This is the title of a social club that meets once a month at the par lors of the M. E. church. It is com posed of the business men of Platts mouth, and its principal object is to get together and talk over matters pertaining to the interests of Platts mouth and to have a good social time. To satisfy one s self and en joy a good time, one must aftend. Tuesday evening we went, we saw and we ate of the good things pro vided by the ladies (God bless them) of the church. We are not going to overflow in praises to persons in par ticular, but will say we were most excellently entertained and whole somely treated, that we have made up our mind to go again. We de sire, however, to extend our most sincere thanks to the committee on invitation Messrs. Searl S. Davis, E. H. Wescott and Guy W. Morgan for their kind invitation. The Hap py Hundred is surely well named and the person who goes there to spend an evening and goes away dissatis fied is certainly hard to please. We cannot remember the time when we spent a more pleasant evening. The Happy Hundred club is certainly a most jolly set of fellowB. -:o:- Our friend Will Maupin is now employed on the Omaha Bee in a ca pacity for which he is well fitted.

PL&ITOIOUTH ELH-WEEKLY JOUBNAI MOTHER EVE WAS TALL Eve In the Garden of Eden was ; 11? feet" tall, according to M. Hen- rion's estimate. He was an expert ; on giantism, umorunateiy, ne iert no detailed records showing how he figured the thing out. "There were giants in those days." Northern France once had a man named Gayant, reputed to be 22 feet tall. . He is a mythological charac ter. But there must have been an actual basis to the myth. Maybe you have" seen Gayant's statue in Douai. Antwerp claims Antigonius, one of its ancient residents, was 40 feet tall. Gog and Magog, who terror ized the southwestern coast of Eng land, have statues in London show ing them towering 14 feet above the ground. Ancient Egypt had the other ex treme a dwarf named Philetas, bo small that he had to wear lead shoes to keep the wind from blowing him away. "Str;nuous Jeffert" Hudson, son of a huge English butcher at Oakham, was only a foot and a half tall. He was served in a pie at a dinner given to King Charles I. Later he became a cavalry captain and fought two duels. All these giants and dwarfs of course, w-ere exceptions. It is phe nomenal, how nature standardizes us makes us so much alike in physique with the giant or dwarf a rare ex ception. , . Nature adapts our bodies to our environments changes .us physical ly to-make us fit in most efficiently in the average every day life of the civilization in "which we live. Life has changed in the last few centur ies, and so have people. It has re cently been demonstrated, by meas uring armor that,-1 people .400 years ago were smaller than we of today. Nature's alterations of her human blue prints take place only over long periods of time. But gradually she applies to us the same system by which she takes the eyes from fish in underground rivers, which need nojyes. Similarly.- the giraffe got its neck lengthened so.it could nibble the more nourishing elaves at the tops of trees. People 500 year3 from now un doubtedly will be a lot different than people-; today. Nature will , change their bodies to fit their environments and mode of life. They'll probably rug to heads, since mechanical pro gress is tendig nto make strong limbs unnecessary. 5 :o: FEWER LAWS In a forceful address before the American Law Institute, Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes declared the other day that the American people, despite their resourcefulness, initia tive and organizing ability, "fell down in government." In explana tion he asserted that while Ameri cans seem to have a passion for law making, they have comparatively lit tle Interest in the effective enforce ment of law. "The need of the hour," said Mr. Hughes, "is not to make law, but to enforce law." He should have add ed that laws found unenforceable be cause hepugnant to public opinion or to the principles of justice and equality of rights and opportunity. should be repealed. Nothing is more demoralizing than hypocritical pre tense of law enforcement. In a de mocracy public sympathy and public support are the very breath of life to the machinery of government.

" j ieco u c.uUu -.uua, tions, should be amended or repealed with the consent of all friends of law and order. To resist repeal is mere ly to invite evasion and nullifica tion of the obnoxious law. In the same address Mr. Hughes made another important point. The evil of over legislation. In fine, fewer laws would mean better laws and less controversy oyer them, as well as the possibility, un der proper direction, of more effec tive and uniform enforcement of them. Congress aud the state legis latures would do well to bear these propositions in mind and refuse to multiply futile statutes on general principles or to please sentimental ists and theorists who propose quack remedies for ills of the body social whicU are caused by factors beyond government control. :o: BE CONVINCED for yourself ' that Journal want ads pay.

Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy -Nothing So Good for Cough or Cold "Everyone who has used Chamber lain's Cough Remedy speaks well of it," writes Edward P. Miller, Abbotts town, Pa. People who once use this preparation are seldom satisfied with any other. It is excellent to allay a .cough or break up a cold. The Pneumonia Month March is a typical pneumonia fT" "i : month and usually cive3 a high rate of mortality for the disease. After a long- and hard winter, the system "" loses much of its resistance and peo ple grow careless. When every cold, no ma Iter how slight, is given prompt and intelligent attention, there is much less danger of pneumonia. It should be borne in mind that pneu monia is a germ disease and breeds in the throat. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy i3 an expectorant and cleans out the germ ladened mucus and not only cures a cold but prevents its re sulting in pneumonia. It is pleasant to take. Children take it willingly. FOE SALE White Wyandotte eggs for hatch ing. Call Plattsmouth exchange 3005. MRS. GEORGE PRIVETT. fll-tfw.
