Psalms 10:16. o:o - Soon to be time to swat the fly. ::- Fashion is said to love unbroken lines. Fishermen do, too. x: The immigration bill barring all Japs has passed the senate. o:o And all the earmarks of an oid fashioned April was in evidence. on Some people even seem to be proud of the fact that they have nothing to be proud of. :o: A righteous town is one in which the druggist does not know what you mean when you wink at him . :oi The democrats have a fine chance to win this year if they harmonize. rGreat strength lies in unity, with a big U. :o: The problem now cnofronting pol iticians is to write platforms that will mean nothing but will sound as if they did. :o: Japanese will bar all California goods. But that am t half as pad as trying to flood the golden state with thfir surplus Japs. : o : The democrats of Illinois in their platform have discarded paternalism and have returned to the true prin ciples of Jeffersonian democracy. :: Plattsmouth has not had a Fourth of July celebration for many years Let s have one we can read about this year. Let's have a whopper. :o: Denby assumes blame for navy oil leases. He is dead politically and wants to save the hides of his co conspirators, who are just as guilty as he is. :o: A Ran Francisco man wants a di vorce because he says she slapped him every night when he came home from work. Something should be done to protect such men. It's a wonder she didn't break his wrist watch. :o: Roumania continues to buy mil lions of dollars' worth of airplanes although she owes the United States ?,K million dollars. But did you ever know a family to forego buying a motor car just because there was a bill owing to the doctor? ' ro: In Chicago a pretty little girl of 17 got arrested for picking pockets. Just a slip of a girl. This cold, cruel world should not judge her too harshly. She may have been a bride training so she could pick her hus band's pockets, which is considered proper. It is fall south of the equator now. Much as we would like to we can't tell If it is this fall or next fall. Anyway, while we are cussing about the cold weather. So you can't blame the weather for being so changeable. No matter what it does, it is blamed for not doing something else. -0:0- Rading the success magazines we learn that any lad can become rich and influential by working hard, be ine polite, using hi.s noodlo. marry ing the right kind of woman, and other simple measures too numerous to mention. But nobody seems to know a way to become thin which is as easy as getting rich. :o: Goodness gracious, several British peers are exhibiting their fancy needlework at a London exhibit. Heavens above, but this really isn't so charmingly exciting if one stops to figure. Land sakes. don't the peers have something to do with gov ernment over there. And our stars, don't some of our govern n'nt offi cials fool around like a lot of old women . -:o: Here is startling news from Wash ington. The chemical welfare ser vice cured some colds for senators with chlorine gas. A few days later the same kind of gas was used to cure distemper which broke out among some artillery horses. And here's an idea. If the gas being handed out by probing committees would be changed into chlorine gas the more they talked the more they would cur their distemper. PER YEAR IN ADVANCE LINES TO REMEMBER If you see little worth in others depend upon it, there is little in yourself. I .g-H-H-l-HH If you can t get yourself together you can't get anything else together. o:o Speaking of a hajd life, how would you like to be an oat planted in the month of February. 192 4? o: o All foreign cabinets have been re- siiinir.tr but the German cabinet is about six resignations ahead of the rest. :o: The main advantage our present hat has is that we don't have to watch it when we are eating at a restaurant. -:o:- Mr. Coolidge will be at the 1925 inauguration, but what's worrying him is whether he will have to lis ten to the speech. :o: In its last session congress passed a tariff and called it "flexible." Now it's devoting its whole attention to making other people tell the truth. : o : Personally we may be too conserv ative, but we think it is bad judg ment to cultivate a taste for any drink that sells for more than a nickel. :o: Daily reiterated business views of an opitimistic nature seem to be in effective in reviving the stock mar ket. Perhaps the market is suffer ing with spring fever. : o : j The republican organization's na tional weekly begins to read very much like a pastor racking his brain for something kind to say over the remains of the village bum. : o : Bertrand Russell is coming over from England to lecture to us. He has been lecturing to England for a long time without results and may be he hopes we will believe him. :o: Ex-Crown Prince Frederick Wil liam is reported to be active in Ger man politics. In that case it may be expected that German politics soon will be in a very bad mess. They were going to have a "Pe troleum Week" so tlret people could get all the information they wanted about oil, but it has been cancelled. The people hav the informrtion. :o: In Rome a deaf and dumb man is in jail because the cops say he has nt least twenty wives. Without fear of contradiction we say twenty wives is enough to make any man dead and numb. 0:0 The new attorney general cele brated his appointment by landing the largest trout in a fishing con test. It is to be hoped that his skill won't result in a tendency to play 'em too long after he has 'em hooked. :o: Rockefeller recently made eight holes of golf in 40, which is fairly good golf. And he sank a 19-foot putt, which is darn good golf. If John ever wins a tournament he may feel good enough to cut gas price. :o: In Evansville, Ind.. a bricklayer was caught in stealing chickens. If they lad caught him yesterday, when he felt funny, or perhaps to morrow, when we will feel funny, the obvious comment would have been that this bricklayer expected to teach hens to lay bricks. :o: A college professor and his wife really were shipwrecked on a South Sea island. To be exact, the island is 376 miles from Samoa. And they stayed there almost a year before be ing rescued. Only a college profes sor could have been absent-minded enough to take his wife along on an adventure like that. 0:0 Health experts advise us to do all our kissing at night, because germs are fewer and less active at night than earlier in the day. This re form seems a little thing in itsejf much of the kissing already being done at night but when you con sider how many men who now ha bitually shave in the morning will ii&ve to change to evering. it be comes a matter of great importance t a great many people. GARDEN WEEK April 0 to 26 has been desigpated as Garden Week by the General Fed- ', eration of Women's Clubs, and the season will no doubt show the choos ing of the date very satisfactory in this section section of the country. After a most unusually backward spring everything now appears to be striving for perfection in the gardens and two weeks or more hence should find Nebraska in a veritable blaze of color and amid the fragrance of mil lions of blooms of many kinds. Gar den Week is understood to be partic ularly referring to the flower garden and it is very well to have particu lar attention called to this feature of life in the garden spot of the coun try. Plattsmouth has hundreds of homes and the majority of residences have at least a small garden. Some have expensive gardens and the beautiful grounds surrounding some suburban homes are admired by all visitors and enjoyed by all who pass that way. It is impossible to do much towards making Plattsmouth more attractive, however, and the garden club and special featured oc casions, such as Garden v eek. arc doing excellent work in this direc tion. It is sometimes the case that great enthusiasm can be aroused regarding .some improvement for a short time, and then all interest fails. In the matter of beautification every spe cial attention, each particularly call or suggestion, has some effect. And after a time it is noticed that places which have been ordinary or even unattractive, are found to be almost la ways in order. The householder becomes permanently interested, af ter a few trials and perhaps some failures. Making the grounds ..about the house pleasing to the eye is some thing that is always worth while. Attractively arranged gardens hiivc an effect upon those who live near by that cannot be secured by other means. Beauty is almost certain to mean cleanly and healthful, and the well-kept yard and garden adds to the comfort as well as the pleasure of those who dwell near. In order that Plattsmouth may look neat and pretty for Garden Week it is desirable to begin right away with the preliminaries. Even if the place is in fairly good condi tion it can probably be improved. This is the time to get the flower beds ready and have the bulbs in and the weeds out. Make the whole city a tribute to the Providence which has brought sring and re-awakening earth into bloom. ;o: HTJG0 STINNES A shabby little man, arrogant and boastful, a man whose god was money and whose sole aim in life was to make money, Hugo Stinnes no scarcely be held in love memory by the people of Germany. Yet the peo ple of Germany should be sorry that he is dead. For Hugo Stinnes knew more of German finances than any other man. His advice in the dis cussion of the Dawes plan of repara tions would have been invaluable; for with all his egotism he was a man of common sense or he could not have risen, in a nation just de feated in the greatest war, to be Eu rope's money master. The mere acquisition of money was Stinnes delight. The pleasures and luxuries which only great wealth can procure brought no joy. He loved to work hours, and he thought every one else should spend practically all the waking houfs at labor. He did away with the eight-hour day, and he squeezed the German working man to the uttermost limit of endur ance. When it came to a matter of paying war reparations Stinnes was unwilling to permit the German wealth accumulated by a few pow erful industrialists to be taxed at any true valuation to reason, where in he differed from some of his fel low magnates who would listen to no reason and who would consent to no compromise. It was precisely be cause Stinnes loved his wealth that he was willing to part with a modi cum of it. Between continued French occupancy of the Ruhr and the levying on great fortunes Stin nes was inclined to choose the lat ter as the lesser evil, especially as the levying would be under the con trol of the Volkspartei which he dominated. Unquestionably Stinnes had his good side. Art, music, the theatre and literature all bored him, but he was devoted to his family. He was not without philanthropic impulses, and now that he is dead his chari ties are recalled. On the whole, tbo, he will be remembered as a mono maniac, a man with a single passion, an unkempt, boastful, unadmirable man but a man with brains, and a map who could do. His loss to Ger many will be immediately apparent, and even the liernians who are least in sympathy with the Stinnes ideals ROOfJNGS For farm and factory buildings A special weight and type for every kind of building, and every one resists snow, ice, rain, wind, gas, steam and fumes at the low est roofing cost per year. Ask us for prices. "4rof for every building" TIDBALL LUMBER GO. Plattsmouth, Nebr. will regret that the master indus trialist's voice is still just when his shrewdness and insight are most needed. :o: Clara Kimball oung is out of danger, ae her physicians report. She is very popular and her many friends throughout the country will be pleased to learn of her recovery. :o: A cat in Waco, Texas, has six toee on both front feet, and she has some kittens that have six toes on their front feet. With all these claws none of them will need more than four or five lives. :o: A San Bernardino dispatch say. nuggets of pure gold are being pumped out of an oil well in that place. The press agent, evidently thinks eople are getting tired of mere oil. :o: The department of labor an nounces that living costs are drop ping, but they have chosen the wronp word. Living costs never drop if they ever go lower, they do it by al most imperceptible degrees. : o : The railway ticket tax plan oi Senator Roberts ran into a washout the other day before it had gotten out of the upper yards. Ordinary taxation plans are bad enough, but nuisance taxes are one thing the poople will not stand for. :o: Reports from Germany state the Germans are starving, and they are spending altogether that that too much money on imported caviar, lob sters and other expensive delicacies. Can't we appoint a commission to find out about Germany? NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, 88. In the County Court. In the matter of the estate of Abi gail E. Smith, deceased.
