Iy, seem to forget that ratlroad pros perity means their prosperity. Also, endangers his soul when he they lose sight of the fact that what-J thinks more of the front he puts on ever oDstacies, wnatever or namper- than the substance behind it. He has ing conditions they impose on the fi formed the bad habit of letting him- railroads, by so much they help to 'self, or at least his name, be used as destroy their own prosperous condi j part of the window-dressing of state tions. They should realize, on the ; occasions. The intoxicating wine of other hand, that whatever of pros an ea3y notoriety has mounted to his perily they help to bring to the rail- j'iend. He loves to see his name in roads by so much they are helping! i print; he throws out his chest in the themselves. Application of this can be' j eye of the camera ; he wreathes with made wherever railroads operate. It I lmipal t !imu- nf hie nvrrt npHpQt.n lfl can h rflrrifH a little fnrthor i , - figure and does homage to it when he stroy prosperity for the railroads and can get an audience. All this brings see how quickly pay envelopes will '. wnariness to those that are not fooled. 1 decrease in number, how impossible For the truly great man, as a rule, I it will be to provide food for hun-' is quiet and hires no trumpeters to SIT mouths, let alone clothes and; prord him with fanfare, neither j luxuries. Even the ordinary com-! M-l"l 'M"M' Sense is what gets you by you don't know anything. -:o: Sometimes we rest on our laurels 1 tmxmm and omrtimes we lust rest. 0:0- o; Hot election in Omaha today. A pessimist is a real fat man won-: :o: dering how hot it will be soon. j Vacations are coming. Sunburn :o:. makes a skin you hate to touch. A man is known by the bill collec-j 0:0 tors he keeps knocking at his door. The first plowing of the garden is o.o not as much trouble as the upkeep. The senate just naturally inclines! :0: more to a gentlemen's disagreement anyhow. 0:0 After a man is elected, too often his worst trial is the fellow who was for him. :o: More people would be leading dou ble lives if thev weren't getting sin-, gle salaries. :o: It is predicted that the farmer will receive no relief from congress at this session. Too bad. :o: What tickles a man more than find ing a quarter in the pockets of his last summer's suit? :o: No matter how free a man is with his money when he drops a nickel he slaps his foot on it. .0: The funniest thing on earth is a woman who doesn't use perfume talk ing with a man who does. -:o: When a woman gets a new spring outfit and looks well she goes to visit and impress an enemy. :o: jne coming or summer wui ue w The modern flapper s motto is mil usually torrid because of the exces- j lkms for fur coatf and not OQe cent sive circulation of political hot air. . for gQod wanQ underwear. -0:0- Ten women of Philadelphia, her alded as church members and moth ers, appeared before a committee of congress and asked for 2.75 per cent beer. 0:0 We are told that one hundred mil lion Europeans want to come to America. And one hundred million Americans can he thankful that there are certain restrictions. : o : Twelve thousand people are said to have died last year from sleeping sickness. But we do not leam that any of the loafers in the lobbies of small town hotels passed away from tbjat cause. :o: We may have -spoken of it before, but if we did. nothing was done about it. Capital punishment for the fellow who borrows your box of matches and puts the burnt match back into the box. :o: While supposed to be considered a verdict, a Chicago jury played cards for twenty-three hours. They might at least have agreed to let the win ner of the last round of-roodles de cide on the verdict. :o: Now that we rae to have a nation al antelope sanctuary, it is hoped that public attention can be turned toward providing a similar refuge for lame duck3 and another and much larger one for goats. :o: Our friend, John W. Gamble, for mer county superintendent of the Cass county schools and also super intendent of our city schools, but now of Omaha, is becoming quite a noted man throughout the country. :o: If there is any combination or promises between the president and Ilenrv Ford resrardlne: Muscle Shoals the people should know and Senator Norris is going to find out, if pos sible. High or low, let no guilty man escape. :o: The spirit of unfairness toward the sterner sex is always noticeable. When a real pretty boy does nothing but run around and have a good time people call him a sorry whelp, but when a real pretty girl conducts herself in the same manner people call her a peach. :o: Few people know there was ever a president of the United States from Missouri, but there was. He was Senator David R. Atchison, who was president pro tern for the Sunday which divided the termination of President Polk's administration and the inauguration of Zachary Taylor, who refused to take the oath of office on Sunday. :o: Herbert Hoover, secretary of com merce, said to the Isaac Walton League in Chicago. "There are too few fishermen in public life." Herb, as is often the case, was correct. If every member of congress wanted to go fishing they would be too busy to worry over scandals. Same is true in private life. And even though there isn't chewing tobacco for us all to go fishing, we believe mor fish ing would improve a long neglected world pretty quick. :o:- doer ho allow his own horn to spoil the silence. He avoids dwelling on his own exploits. He does not see his own figure glery-crowned. the most conspicuous in the landscape. The figurehead joins many commit tees and is embossed upon the sta tionery of all sorts of organizations. He is feverishly afraid of missing a trick, of failing to register his pres ence or be heard in movements that are fashionable and popular. Yet be hind the scenes, off the stage, when the real work is done by toilers la- visible, inaudible to the crowd, lie is conspicuous by his absence. He has not time for activities which do not cause him to be conspicuously seen and inordinately heard. The figurehead counts for little more than nausht nihteln ocprsllfL more than naught in the long per spective because he figures merely in n physical sense. What he is. what he says, what he does, are all alike without spiritual consequence. No man whose first thought is for hi own advert:: runent is loved and trust ed by the crowd and wanted as it leader. o : o RAILROAD PROSPERITY Our idea of a conservative man is one who puts on his last summer's suit without having it ironed. 0:0 The man who brags too much that he runs things about his house may refer to the washing machine. 0:0 Another Japanese threat is hid den somewhere in the withdrawal of 15,000 from Nippon's naval person nel. :o: Did President Coolidge promise Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford? Who can answer? Is it proper to inves tigate? :o: Another disadvantage some needy ones have is that they must accept it as a loan when they can't get it as a fee. 0:0 Next Saturday the Odd Fellows of Omaha will celebrate their 105th an niversary of the founding of Odd Fel lowship. :o: Isn't it strange that New York can get all the liquor it wants and yet it keeps such a howl about personal liberty and all? :o: Will the Germans support the re publican ticket this year? . ot if Al Smith of New York is nominated by the democrats. The Bureau of Standards has a mechanical dishbreaker. We had no idea the servant problem made it so hard to get help up there. :o: We are going to have a child la bor amendment, but the bird that proposes an adult loafing amendment is in for a tough session. 0:0 Sometimes plans work out. Years ago the parent of a baby boy named him Solon. He grew up to become an official interpreter of the law for a big western city. :o: Billy Sunday umpired a ball game in Memphis the other day. and we can't help wondering whether he heard any new cuss words invented since he played the game. 0:0 We are told that one hundred mil lion Europeans want to come to America. And one hundred million Americans can be thankful that there are certain restrictions. : o : Undertakers use mighty poor judg ment in advertising their wares. For instmec. it would be both attractive and ethical to fill a display window with shrouds and label 'em "going away gowns." :o: San Francisco man has harnessed the sun's rays by means of lenses, and claims to be able to make a dia mond difc-anrear in the form of uas. That's a step in advance of most of he Pnil Becker farm. , ... , , . of Plattsmouth. these schemes which can only make money disappear that way. :o: One thing the radicals rail against is prosperity, of which they have very little, if any, of their own pro viding. Their railings are particu larly incited when a railroad enjoys any degree of prosperity. They con demn and denounce those in any way responsible for railroad prosperity, and seek ways and means whereby to make such a thing impossible, for getting that by so doing they are de stroying the very props that sustain the house wherein they dwell. What did these owners do? They provided improved facilities In order to handle, promptly and efficiently, the business offered to the railway. They invested 50.700.000 of their earnings, or funds made available by them, purchased 165 new locomotive and 13,134 freight cars. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in track improvement, including sidings for the more expeditious handling of freight and of trains. In every way possible they are trying to meet the conditions imposed by greater 'vol ume of business enjoyed by their pat rons, as is evident In the increase of freight and traffic. The prosperity that these particu lar railroads enjoy is passed along to a considerable degree and extent, to others, to its patrons and to it.c employes, and to employes in manu facturing plant3 where are made the locomotives, the freight cars, the steels rails and other equipment re quired and for which, and for other things, more than fifty million dol lars were paid, a considerable pro duction, in repair shops and other wise. Too many people, radicals especial- forts of life are made impossible for those who suffer when the railroads J suffer. There is a reasonable way to re card railroad prosperity. If it is j manifested, practically, it helps oth- 1 crs than the railroads, often more than the railroads themselves. There are many people who realize this, but they are not radicals. They are rea sonable, constructively inclined peo ple. :o: It only takes one to start a fight and that is always the other one.

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE the first rule Jot Protective Lubrication clean oil in, the crankcase iVERY motorist knows that oil I must be kept up to the proper level in the crankcase. But compara tively few worrv about the clean ness of the oil. As a matter of fact, the cleanness of oil and its body determine its lubricating and protective value. Only clean oil can afford protective lubrication Every stroke of the motor slightly con taminates oil. Road dust, carbon, un- consumed gasoline and moisture gradu ally collect in the crankcase oil. After five hundred miles operation the oil is diluted thin and contains hard powder which grinds and wears bearings and machined surfaces. The only way to secure protective lubri cation is to keep the motor supplied icilh clean oil of the proper body by emptying and flushing out the crankcase every five hundred miles aud reiilling with fresh Polarine. Consult the Polarine Chart before you buy oil. Get the grade recommended and you will save the cost of oil many times over in t he lower cost of necessary repairs and in bigger mileage and power from your gasoline. Buy motor oil where you see this sign five grades, light, medium, fieavy, special heavy and extra heavy a grade that provides protective lubrication for every make of car.
