In fact, local merchants possess one advantage over their mail or der rivals; if they buy at home, cus tomers can inspect their merchandise before buying. Mail order houses use much thought in selecting advertising me diums. Local merchants who are successful, do the same. Careful study of the situation will convince any merchant that the evening newspaper is more effective than any other medium he can em ploy. The evening newspaper comes to the home at the hour when every member of the family is looking for something to read. Could a better hour be arranged for the introduc tion of your merchandise? There is no better time for gaining the friendship of local families than in the evening when the hustle and bustle of the day are over. It's the ideal time to make the ac quaintance of anyone who may be, or who may have been, buying his goods from distant mail order houses. Money orders for mail order houses are sold at the postoffice in the daytime, but it is home in the evening that decision to order mer chandise from a distant city is made. An advertisement in the evening newspaper counteracts, offsetts the attractive catalog. Your advertise ment in the evening can prevent money orders from traveling to dis tant cities next morning. The right time to check the cata log peril is in the evening. The right way to check it is through the HOME newspaper. The Daily Journal is the Platts mouth HOME newspaper. :o: PEACE AND PROSPERITY lards was a sign of a misspent youth.

Teace is the fundamental condi tion of prosperity and happiness. The American people are at peace, and we have to be thankful for that blessing. The peace of America does not yet mean the peace of the world, but with all the turmoil and suffer ing that have followed the World war, peace generally prevails now in the civilized world. We have peace the world has a lively hope that world peace will be accomplished in good time. The word from the White House that President Coolidge expects to revive and press his policy of Ameri can policy participation in the In ternational Court of Justice gives promise of American co-operation in the establishing of international law and the substitution of trial by courts for trial by force. The League of Nations, despite oc casional jolts and checks, is moving on and is serving a useful purpose in establishing justice and keeping the peace. There is more reason than ever today to look for the participa tion and co-operation of all the civ ilized nations In the task of main taining world peace. With general peace and brighten ing prospects ot peace, the war stricken peoples are progressing to ward economic stability and pros perity, and, of course, we share in that benefit. We now have a large share of prosperity, and the outlook for increasing profitable business ac tivities is excellent. Judge Gary, the Mandarin of the Mart, says that bus iness is good and will be better. He looks for capacity production and good prices in the steel market, and that is the index of general pros perity. So with the spirit of thankfulness we combine a resolution to make our own community and our nation and the world better for all people the New Year will mark the beginning of many happier days. :o: TOO MANY LAWS what is right conduct." This passion for a "prodigious number of laws" too often uncertain "in their meaning and effect," this invasion of the field formerly left to religious teachers and the correc tives of public opinion has gone so far that it has literally gone to the head of some of the untiring reform ers, as in the case of the Ohio legis lator who introduced a bill to regu late the temperature so that it would never go below 58 degrees in winter or above 78 degrees in summer. And when, as Attorney General Stone siiys, "we build up our administra tive offices at the expense of indi vidual liberty and freedom of the citizen," what is the result? Inevit ably law begins to be brought into contempt and to be cynically flouted. It is late in the march of events to preach reduction cf the' swollen fed eral power, home rule, decentraliza tion and personal liberty a return toward the principles of Thomas Jefferson, which made this country what it is, or was but Attorney General Stone responds to urgent need when he does so. :o: THE DRUG HABIT LEAVES FROM THE BOOK OF NEBRASKA More than 1.000.000 people in the United States are victims of the drug habit. The average age of the her oin addict is 22 years. America con sumes four times as much "dope" as all Europe combined. The United States consumes thirty-six grains cf opium per person each year. The average consumption of England. France. Germany and Italy is 2 V grains per person. India, which is supposed to be ridden with the drug habit, has a per capita con sumption of twenty-seven grains. More than 90 per cent of all the drugs used in addiction are now smuggled in, in spite of all that the federal and state governments are doing. It is estimated that the an nual importation of opium into America for home consumption is 471.943 pounds, or approximately 235 tons, nearly twice the maximum amount necessary for the medicinal and scientific use of the world. Necessity of educating the people of the country to the damages of this situation is a public duty. It will take something more than the pas sage of laws, and the ocasional ar rest of a dope pedler. to accomplish the desired result. The drug habit today is a more serious menace to the American people than the liquor habit ever was.

W, Plattsmouth 1 ne rnce of Progress WHEN Abraham I tncoln approved the building of the Ur.:. :: Pacific, the nation was in the throes of the Civil Wax. About halt a million Americans in the West were cut off from rail communication with the rest of the nation. So the gigantic task of building 1,000 mibs of railroad across Indian-infested plains, through deserts and over forbidding moun tains was undertaken. Begun December 1st, 1863, the last spikewas driven May 10th, 1S69. Besides engineering difficulties overcome and hardships and privations endured from the blazing summer sun and winter's bliz zards, the attacks cf hostile Indian tribes had to be faced. Rifles, revolvers and knives were just as necessary tools as shovels, crow bars and pick axes. Across the prairies swept bands of painted Sioux killing and scalping stragglers and often attacking and mur dering construction crews. Near the city of Lexington a working party of railroad pioneers was wiped out by the savages after a des- trjska history -a til be featured.

This is known as the Plum Creek Massacre. It was part of the price of progress. In the settling of Nebraska a heavy toll of blood and toil and suffering was paid, by the hatdy pioneers who turned unfenced prairies into tilled fields. They were men and women who showed the qualities that make every American proud of his country and people.
