You can't uplift people by sitting
down on them.
:o:-
IJy this time the garden is
ail
weeds and a yard wide.
:o:
Lots of people think the world
owes them five or six livings.
:o:
Host people who have nothing to
do make the mistake of doing it.
:o:
Next to a secrst the hardest thing
to keep is a beautiful complexion.
:o:
A pessimist is a man who wants
things different even after they are.
:o:
Fever blisters have stopped more
girls from kissing than arguments.
:o:
Winning an argument by calling
a man narrow-minded doesn't
count.
:o:
In Paris they have declared war
against American jazz bands, but
we'll bet they like them just as we
do.
:o:
One of the pleasant surprises of
Ufa is to enter a barber shop and
find your wife in your favorite
chair.
:o:
Near Brussels, a small town had
2S golden weddings on the same
day. Staying married is a quaint
old custom.
:o:
In Detroit a man married a widow
with seven children. This puts the
round-the-world aviator daredevils
in second place.
: o :
Perhaps the worst feeling in the
World is to get all heated up in a
poltical speech and know you must
sti. k to the truth.
: o:
In Los Angeles they will make a
sanity test of auto speeders and if
the results differ from what you ex
pect we will let you know.
:o:
LaFollette headquarters for presi
dential campaign have been opened
in Madison. Wisconsin. Where the
hindquarters are to be located is not
stated.

It must make Yale and Harvard
fearfully provoked to have Columbia
l.cat them in the natter of coi r-
ring an honorary ""rgree

:o:
on
.li?
The other day in Washington a
hearse was run into and damaged by
an auto driven by a woman. It is
getting so that our streets are not
even safe for the dead.
:o:
Columbia university has made
Andrew Mullen a doctor of laws
But Mellon is a doctor without any
practice. He tried to prescribe a
sure-cure tonic for American tax
payers, but they threw him out of
the clinic.
: o :
In the United States we have 44,
000 automobile agencies. 50,000 pub
lic garages, 68,000 service stations
and repair shops and 66.000 motor
car supply stores. No wonder the
unprotected citizen can't get by
without buying an auto.
:o:
A woman banker says that the
women of America are due the
credit for the seven billion dollars
that have been saved up and put in
to the banks. Of course. But did
n't they spend some of the money
that wasn't saved?
M:
It was hard to get a republican to
accept for the simple reason that the
party leaders realize, deep down in
thir hearts, that the G. O. P. is go
ing to have the daylights licked out
of it at the November election. No
man wants to lead a forlorn hope.
:o:
A famous detective says the way
to undo a robber or stirk-up man is
to engage him in conversation and
keep him talking and soon he will
become confused and depart. We
never could aW very well when be
ing robbed, but the detective is
probably rieht. We shall hire a
lawyer for future use in such
emergencies.
:o:
Uncle Sam says it'd take 321 bil
lion dollars to buy the United States
and all its resources. Dr. Walter
Ingalls, prominent statistician says
the figure is too high should be on
ly 273 billions. But what are a
few wbillion among statisticians?
More so to a public, few of whom
ever saw as much as $10,000 to
gether at one time.

LINES TO RELIEMBER
The Christian religion is
a matter of the heart, as
well as the head. Men must
be doers as well as hearers
and believers of Jeus
Christ. Gypsy Smith.
What about an auti-Don't week.
just for fun, some time?
:o:
Consider the high cost of war, a
bonus is as cheap as dirt.
:o:
The standpatter is safe so long as
he people will stand patter.
: o :
Every girl likes to wash dlshe:
until she gets to be five or six years
old.
:o:
Trouble-makers can do enough
damage without the help of beer and
wine.
:o:
With this year almost half gone
many of us are feeling further gone
than that.
:o:
Oven in aris shoes are being made
of snake skins much to the disgust
of the snake.
:o:
The fellow that has be'en hating
to carry out the ashes has started
hating to cut the weeds.
: o :
If you would be healthy and
wealthy and wise n.ever laugh at
a woman with tears in her eyes.
:o:
The differen'G between a success
and a failure that one giv.-i rea
sons while thi other gives ex?usc-s.
:o:
A housing shortage Is causing al
most as much trouble in England
as the rent shortage is in America.
:o:
With rjite than a thousan 1 wo
men at the Republican convention
no conversation shortage is report
ed. :o:
V Immoralitv rather thain immor
tality, seems to be the object of a
verydarge number of people in these
times.
o:o
Church denominations should cut
no figure in the Democratic Nation
al convention, or in fact, any oth
er convention.
-:o:-
A lot of public men become dis
gusted and get out of politics.
Others stay in and still m: nage to
get a lot out of it.
:o:
It has just about gotten so in
this country that as soon as a woman
gets an Occidental husband she
wants an Oriental rug.
o:o
A Massachusetts court rules that
a pedestrian is not obliged to jump
out of the way of an automobile.
Maybe but it takes a lot of faith
and stubbornness not to.
:o:
"Success is the thing," said Major
Mrrtin, resigning hit. command f
the world flyers in 'avc ol Lieut.
Smith. True UUl sportsmanship is
a prettv good thing too.
:o:
London and New York will soon
be connected by telephone, but we
don't believe the service will be
much good if London keeps the same
girl at central that is employed now.
:o:
It is suggested that we buy the
"death ray" for a million dollars
and then destroy the formula. But
what assurance would we have that
the inventor hadn't told his wife all
about it?
:o: .
A Maryland woman gave her
spouse two fair chances to make
good as a respectable and well-disciplined
married man. She married
him twice. But he's no good. She
has been obliged to sue for divorc?
again.
o:o
Vegetarians have a novel argu
ment in this: The crops of seven
tenths of the tilled land of American
farmers are fed to animals. Meat
eating is an expensive habit. The
argument on the other side is that
meat is concentrated vegetables.
Everyone, however, should eat 4ess
meat in summer. It's cold weather
food. In warm weather nature in
tend us to eat vegetables, particu
larly leafy ones. That's why they
prow them in summer instead of
winter.
The Republican national convcn
tion did the expected thing by nomi- T"
nating Calvin Coolidge for President
and placing "Cussing
Charley"
Dawes on the tail of the ticket. It
looks like a case of the tail wag J
dog, for General Dawes is an abler i
mdn by far than the man who heads
the ticket, and possessed of much
more attractive personality.
The G. O. P. platform is a hodge
podge of hysteria and protestations.
I r !'u i-ly mingled with explanations
that do not explain. Worse still
some of its planks are down-right
owardly.
If the Democratic party makes no
mistake at the New York convention
a great victory will be won at the
November election.
This is our winning year. With
a man like Mi-Adoo or Governor
Smith as the nominee we ought to
pile up a majority even greater than
that by which our party was defeat
ed four years gao.
: o :
JUNE BRIDES
Events move rapidly in thi'i life.
No sooner has the May gradual
passed into the wings than the June
bride takes thhe center of the stage
and claims the attention of the an
dier.ee. And with her comes the
fragrance of orange blossoms and
bride's roses together with the In
teresting artifices and exultation of
the little god of love. We could get
along without graduates, in a pinch,
but we couldn't get along at all with
out brides, either of the June var
lety or the January models. The
little god of love, of whom the poet.
speaks so confidently, has in later
years proved a rather unrenalbe or
inconstant creature. He leads thou
sands of honest and hopeful young
couples to believe in his sincerity
and durance, only to see them break
ing away from the home he assigned
them to and hurry to the court hous
a little later. Every broken home is
a tragedy, and Cupid by means of
his coaxious and adroit diplomacy,
is responsible for many mismatched
marriages. .Nevertheless, the hriues
we have always with us. the evil the
day may be whwen brides shall be
no more. In the meantime, we sa
lute them, we give them our bless
ings, we bid them not to no loo so
phisticated for sentiment nor too
gen-ois for prudence. Maj all
their : cars be as June days, and all
neir !:ves as happy as their !iom y-
rcoons. And this is not light s .-in
ner friction, either.
:o:-
THE TWO-THIRDS RULE
None of the Democratic would-be
Presioent makers appears to be real
y eager to abandon the historic
two-thirds rule as applied to the
nomination of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency by
Democratic national conventions. -It
is said that every leading candidate
has had representatives in the Con
gressional library studying the
records that throw light on the ef
fects and potentialities of the two-
thirds rule, but apparently the deep
er the question is gone into the more
doubtful do the managers of pre
convention campaigns become as to
the wisdom of suspending the rule.
The supporters of McAdoo claim
he is as good as nominated, yet
they will not propose the adoption
of a rule enabling a bare majority
of the delegates to nominate ticket.
The friends of Governor Smith
profess equal confidence in the suc
cess of their candidate, but they are
far from sure he would profit by
the abrogation of the two-birds rule.
The numerous dark horses, hoping
that the leading candidates will
neutralize and beat one another, per
haps think that it would be just as
easy for them to obtain a two-third
vote as a mere majority.
It is true that only three times in
the history of the Democratic con
ventions has a candidate for the
Presidency possessing a majority of
the votes required enlisted the ad
ditional votes required under the
two-thirds rule. But, unfortunately
from the point of view of certain un
easy candidates, the last of those oc
casions is disturbingly fresh in
many memories and suggests pain
ful possibilities.
In fhe Democratic convention in
Baltimore in 1912 Champ Clark had
a majority on many weary ballots.
The nomination seemed to be within
his grasp. But Mr. Bryan, then a
Nebraska delegate, started a move
ment in favor of Woodrow Wilson,
the second choice of the instructed
delegation of his state and the rest
is too well known to need retell
ing. The fact is that in the Democratic
camp all is still highly uncertain.
That accounts for the almost daily
entry of new candidates into the
interesting.

Home Health Meeting
The fourth meeting of the "Home
Care of Sick" series, which is being
put on in the east half of the coun
ty, was held at Nehawka, Friay,
June 13. All clubs, taking the work,
were represented and a very profit
able time spent. Miss Martin, Ex
tension Specialist in Home Health
and Hygiene was in charge.
Control the Potato Bug
One pound of Paris Green to 100
gallons of water; arsenate of lead,
1 to 6 pounds to rn gallons of water,
or one pound of Paris Green to 16
pounds of cheap flour thoroughly
mixed and sifted on the vines while
the bugs are small, are all good
remedies.
Worms in Chickens
A number are having trouble with
wormy chickens. A good remedy is
to shut your chickens up and starve
them for 36 hours, then feed the
following ration. Dissolve a level
tablespoon of lye in 3 quarts of
water and pour this over a gallon
of wheat and feed to them. This
is enough for 11 hens or 22 chicks.
Repeat in ten days.
YES, IT IS HOT
Yes. it's hot hot as the
very
dickens.
But why grumble?
Just wipe off the sweat and
o
ahead.
The weather may not be to
jour liking, but there's nothing you
an do about it. Fussing and fum
ng about the weather never raised
or lowered the mercury one single
gree.
It's better to console yourself v. th
the homely philosophy of james
Vi:itcomb Riley, "When th. Lord
s.its out the weather and sends
rain, then rain's my choice." Tiiis
applies with equal truth to intense
vat.
it's hot, yes, but crops are grow
ing like the proverbial green bay
tree.
It's hot, yes, but watermellon-
nix- turning red inside, and in a row
v eeks they'll be ripe and sw.et
It's hot, yes, but corn la growing
it hile you swealter at nights, to
matoes' are taking on the color of
: Maiden's cheek, and the blush is
deepening on the peach.
It's hot, yes, but the oit fiYlos

Protective Lubrication
clean oil in

iVERY motorist know9 that oil

must be kept
IS
in the crankcase. But compara
tively few worry 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 with
clean oil of the proper body by emptying
and flushing out the crankcase every five
hundred miles and refilling with fresh
Polarine.
