The little daughter of a prominent

conversation the lady of the house
asked the little girl what she wanted

a whole list of stuff she wanted and
wound up by saying lhat she wanted
Santa Claus to bring her a baby
brother. All of which remind us
that there are only thirteen more
shopping days before Christmas.

Gradually this country is drifting

before they know it. The state won't
have anything to say. only through

About SO years ago. John Hunt, mil
lionaire, was brought before sanity
. experts because he paid 32,400 for a
corner lot on Fifth Avenue which
today has a corner worth 14 million
dollars. So much for the opinions
of others. If you have a good thing
and are sure of it, don't let ridicule
make you waver.
SHEIK CLOTHES LOSE OUT
A craze for thick woolen shirts is
spreading like wildfire among col
lege and high school lads, the eoun -
try over. Colors are gaudy such
as red and black checkerboards. The
idea seems to be to imitate the mack-
inaw coat of lumberjacks.
It's the healthiest sign we've ob
served in the nation's youth for
many a moon.
It suggests there is a reaction
against what might be summed up
as sheikism and lounge-lizardism.
With great glee, old timers will
observe the waning of an effeminate
tendency in a r-onsieierable number
of American youths. The lads want
to look like "he-men" again.
It's too early to use the bromide
that the country is saved. Cut san
ity is returning when youth strongly
demonstrates the traits of virile,
sensible manhood.
btyles are pretty good weather-
vanes of national tendencies. Con
ditions were very healthy years
wnen boys in tlielr late teens wore
flannel shirt3. rouga peg-ton trousers
and maybe chewed tobacco, read
Nick Carter and from the east went
west in summer to work in wheat
fields for winter spending money.
They belonged to a virile genera
tion. Their ragtime was healthier than
the later decadent form of jazz blues.
There wasn't, as much synthetic gin
in those days.
The typical Nick Carter reader
j was a much more promising lad
than
the sissy who doted on namby -
ipaml-'V KoilO books.

well be that youth's sudden craze ' rrmln for pr,ofit and
wishes to receive as large returns as

the beginning of the end of jazz life
in entirety.
The "Covered Wagon type of fic
tion and movie is eclipsing the sheik
type. This also reflects a change In
the audiences, especially youth.
:o:
THE INSURRECTIONISTS
The decision of republican sena
tors to refuse further committee rec
ognition to Messrs. La Follette,
Ladd. Frazier and Brookhart because
of their recent insurgency is not
nominally republican. They lent
all their influence in the recent cam
paign to destroy the party which
sent them to the senate. Were they
wholly consistent the four would
stand boldly before congress and the
country as spokesmen for a radical
third party.
Any political group, of course, ex
pee ts its members to exercise a rea
sonable elegree of independence. The
favors in this direction extended to
La Follette have been strangely lib
eral, and he has repaid them time
after time by open rebellion against
its mandates and its principles. His
crowning act of insurrection came
this yrar when he trieel to organize
a national third party and to get
himself elected president in opposi
tion to the regular nominee of the
republican party.
If the elominant party in congress
is to accept responsibility for what
congress does, as !t must, the party
is entitle! to have on the majority
side of the important committees
men whom it can trust. It is no
place for unreliables. If a member
of a crew has repeatedly demonstrat
ed his wish to scuttle the ship its
owners do not make him captain,
nor even first mate. It is not much
different in relation to the manning
of house or senate committees.

Fyrotol Similar to Sodatol
New explosive is handled and

salvage explosive known as pyrotol,
which is being distributed to Ne
braska farmer for the cost of cart
ridging, boxing and transportation,
j is very similar to sodatol which was
I distributeel by the Nebraska college
of agriculture last spring. Because
pyrotol contains such a small amount
of nitroglycerin, it does not cause a
headache. This fact will be wel
comed by a number of farmers who
are bothered with heaelaehes when
( using explosives. Pyrotol is a non
j freezing explosive which makes it
suitable for use at any season of the
year. It causes no discoloration of
the skin, and this aids materially to
its handling qualities. In these re
spects it resembles sodatol very.

dynamite.
