Rugged is the breast that music canm t tame. -:: Thoee things which are not prac ticable are not desirable. :o: Whilst freedom is true to itself, everything is become subject to it. :o:- :o: Wall Street is the street of op portunity. One man who went there brok- a few years ago, now has over S 2,000,000. :o: The more one reads explanations of the rotor ship the more he is in clined to the belief that the Einstein theory is really simple. When you hear a man refer to his "loud speaker." it is well to ask if he means his radio equipment or his wife, if you wish to be thor oughly informed. :o: Pounds funny, doesn't it, that Ihanrrr. author of "The Four Horse men of the Apocalypse." should be so dead set against royalty when his; mas. fortune conies from royalties? :o: nothing makers say the average! The motto of an unimportant man is just as unimportant as he is. :o: If you see any violets along your way home tonight, don't pick 'em; I give 'em a chance. :o: The price of coal seems to bear up wonderfully in the absence of a strike in the coal miiiio. : o : The Freedman Journai. published in Dublin, Ireland, for ltl years, has ceased publication. : o : With this new-fangled spelling it is quite a soci .1 function to hoppo to the shoppe for a choppe. .o: You may talk about static, but wait till you hear a mess of Scotch dialect coming over the radio. :o: There will be no contest tor gov ernor In Missouri. So says Dr. Nel son, the democratic candidate. Good. :o: Now is the tim for all mean young men to break up with their 'sweeties" and make up after Christ - :o: American m.tn is 5 feet S inches tall, an mht 160 pounds and measures 3S inches around the chest. How do you compare with this average? :o: The average woman driver tfe faster than the man driver, tsts show, but the taxicab driver thinks fastest of all. It seems to be a atmnfc m t:er of speed, all around. -:o:- Sneaking of crof-s-word puzzles, what is it that why does it cross the ro:'d? St ven letters. Also, who is It that when he was a pun? Six leitirs beginning in "h" and end ing in "r?" :o: FreBea writers are asking us to remember the words of Franklin and Jefferson on war debts. But the only thing our government can re kamher that far lrack is Washing ton's remark on entangling alli ances. : o : An Anglo-American chess game is to be played by experts in London and New York, the plays transmitted by radio. What a boon to those who have found nothing to listen in on sinee the 1-day bicycle races were ended! :o: "About 12 cents out of evry $1 of the American people's income now goes for taxes, according to figures by a New York bank. Almost twice an much as before the war. Who lst the war" The taxpayers, in every participating country. :o: Speaking of great undeveloped export markets, it is claimed there are 300 million people on earth who wear no clothes at all. Why don't our clothing makers Trt after them? We hae the cannibal's precede nt to prove that the naked can at least be induced to wear, silk Bats and e-llu!oid cuffs. Snorts, the sportn editor of the Ainuni uiooe, says: it we aaa a daughter ami whe wouldn't wear a rm clothes wc wcu'd keep lur w.:rm with a bed slat." Fh huh. if the rports editor had a daughter. But fathers of daughter? from throe on up know what he will do when he has a daughter. These scientist are always bine penciling our prettiest stories. Along corner? Professor McAdie and says the legend about Benjamin Franklin pulling electricity from the sky by means of a key held in his hand is all tommyrot. The professor holds that, if Franklin had done so. the world would have learned no more from the experiment than that the experimenter was killed instantly. A cross word puzzler without an eraser can be as big a nuisance to his associates as a smoker without matches. :o: It will be interesting to see if Santa Clans cares to venture forth .; this conservative time In his pop ulist whiskers. A British editor says America now rules the world. But it's no ticeable Great Britain still claims most of it. :o: When your wife announces thr't she has all her Christmas shopping done, you might as well cease your hinting: her mind is made up. :o: You thitlk radio is a new thing? Well, the first radio message was ".ashed across the ocean by Marconi twenty-three years ago last Friday. :o: Hiram Johnson wants it possible to elect a president with a plural ity. What's the matter with Hi? Wasn't he satisfied with "Coolidge or Chaos?" : o : Thf people who buy their pres ents at heme are fortvnate. Thy get just what they want much cheaper than going to Omaha. Be sides paying car fair. :o: Here, as Herbert Corey would say. is a little swig of treason: There an probab'y a thousand prettier soncs in the world than the German "Holy Might," and they aro just as much prettier on Christmas eve as any other eve. o: We have seen several editorials criticizing parents for their lack of control over their children. After a parent h.'s ben denicl the use of the car two or three times he grows indifferent. What parent wants to be insulted to his face? :o: In Atlanta Mr. Bryan refused to talk politics with the reporters. Ri y ing he was in town only to talk re- ,i-i: n. Mr. Bryan has a good news ense. He knows that not one Amer ican in a edition is interested in va politics at this time, but that a larger percentage of the people are interested in religion. An Ohio man killed his wife with a Bleat cleaver and was sentenced to he hanged, but Governor Yic Don nghcy has commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. It appears that the reason the man killed his wife is that she nagged him. Gov ernor has a wife and ten children. He doesn't believe a woman should nng her breadwinner. :o: i Wall street gets careless when the picking is easy. Again you've read Cheer Up! What ho, you merry gentlemen! Let nothing you dismay; To pay the stack of Christmas bills No doubt you'll find a way. So put your trust in Santa Claus, Forgetting things that vex; Perhaps you'll get a fountain pen With which to write the checks. Cheer up, you merry gentlemen, The worst is yet to come; But while the damage will amount To quite a goodly sum, Along with your new fountain pen, You'll get a pair of specs To aid you in the noble work Of writing out the checks. Fear not, you merry gentlemen, For things that are to be, As many useful presents grow Upon a Christmas tree. While Santa Claus may bring the wife A bracelet set with rocks, You'll get a half-a-dozen pair Of good old cotton socks. LEWES FROM THE BOOK.

Ordinary paper money is prefer able to gold. it is more convenient ind less likely to be lost. But at Christmas there is a great demand greater than the supply made avail able by the federal reserve banks.

A nood way to begin would be to penalize employer., who are The most successful salesman is the salesman who has the largest number of friends. Friendships cre ated sales for such a salesman, and he is highly valued by the man for tunate enough to employ him. The successful advertising medi um, from the viewpoint of the ad vertiser, is the medium most cordial ly greeted by its recipients. The evening newspaper measures up to this requirement, in every respect. That is why an advertisement in the rentag newspaper possesses such splendid pulUng power, why an ad vertisement in the evening news paper sells the goods the advertiser wishes to sell. Home is often empty during th day. but at the end of the day it at tracts every member of the family. The evening newspaper arrives at the very hour when the family is re united for the evening. Home's deepest charm is most in the even ing, the hour when the entire fam ily gathers in the living room to dis cuss today and tomorrow. The evening newspaper is reserved a place of its own in the family circle every evening.

TXn of the daily tasks of the prairie mother of ing days v 'as cleaning and filling the lamps and polish ing the chimneys. It was part of her endless round of work that brightened the home life of the prairie family. For little sod cr crude frame houses, out o;i the almost tree less plains, the mothers of Nebraska gave up old homes and conveniences of the longer-settled east to found new homes, for from old friends. 0:i!y the glow from kerosene lamps on distant claims cut the darkness and told of distant neighbors. Then the transplanted cottonwoods began to give shade and shelter. After a few cro-s, a new house. New conveniences for making living more pleasant followed. The new school was nearer. Trips to town became more frequent. The bank account grew. Visits were exchanged between the old home in one of the big I s and the new home in Nebraska. The new railroad came and then the automobile. The pioneer life, the years of lonely isolation, ceaseless toil and monotony, became a memory. Nebraska has grown up by the light of kerosene lamps. The lamp on the lonesome plain, the pump and back-breaking wash days were banished when the gasoline-driven engine came with its electric apparatus which circulates water, runs the washing machine and supplies light in parlor, kitchen, bed , room and barn. The improved oil cookstove makes the farm kirchen as comfortable in summer as any in the city right on the ivs main. Serving Nebraska in town and country since homes teading days, and providing adequate and convenient supplies or gaso line and kerosene where needed, the Standard Oil Company is an old settler. Organized and chartered under Nebraska laws, understanding Nebraska's requirements, doing business in practically no other state, directed and operated by Nebraska residents, the Stand ard Oil Company of Nebraska is a Nebraska institution.
