A EUKGEPXION PEICE $2.00 DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST When Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John whom I beheaded: be is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had went forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him In prison tor Herodias sake, his brother Phil ip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy broth er's wife. Therefore Herodias had a Quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not. For Herod feared John, knowing that 'he was a Just man and holy. And when the daughter of the Said Her odias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, the king said unto the damsel. Ask me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it to thee, and she went forth, and said unto her mother. What shall I ask? And she said. The head of John the Baptist. And immediately the king sent an executioner: and he went and be headed him in the prison. And brought the head on a charger and gave it to the damsel. Mark 6:16-28. :o:- Auto accidents on and so are euie'des. :o: the increase Banks continue to fail, and we are promised prosperity. :o: The only hard thing about hold ing any Job is the work it takes. :o: Keeping in touch with people is the only way you can make a touch. . :o: ' ' If prosperity doesn't come along this year we can sue it for breach of promise. :o: All the cream on milk must be vanishing cream because you seldom Bee it any more. :o: Doctors say five people In New York who thought they ate some good oysters, didn't. :o: Trainers say lions are the only wild animals capable of affection, but how about bedbugs? I .O. ! Love is like any other trouble. The more you just sit around and any other trouble. think abou- it the worse it becomes. :o: More girls are taking up basket-. ball perhaps because it is such ex cellent training for bargain counter , rushes. :o: We are in favor of a commission form of government in city affairs because it is a more safe form of gov ernment and a great saving to the taxpayers. o:o From reports it is hard to tell what the legislature will do on the automobile question. Surely chil dren under 16 years cf age should be prevented from manipulating them. :o: A Chicago pickpocket, according to the Tribune, addressed the Judge "with a touching plea.' It cost the pickpocket $100, but it doesn't say how much it cost the Judge. :o: Wise men of Gotham are fuss ing over a bust of Augustus Caesar, said to be of the best Roman period, just dredged up from the Hudson river. Probably it was brought over by Rome runners. :o: The superintendent of the Massa chusetts state reformatory distribu ted diaries among the inmates as New Year's gifts. The entries will be pleasant for the writers to con template in later years. :o: We have legal equality of the sexes and all that, but we notice still that a woman who is a good bridge player merely inspires admi ration, while a woman who is a good "ptiker player inspires awe. :o: Talk about prohibition, the east I literally overrun by bootleggers, while in the west we come nearer to observing the Volstead act than they ver will in the east. When senators and congressmen and high officials of the government join in and assist bootleggers the east can never win for prohibition. ' :o:- Why can't a law be passed by the present legislature, making it neces sary for a young lady and ' gentle man, who want to join in matrimony to marry in the state in which they reside. And If one lives in one state and the other in another, then they can decide which state they wish the ceremony to be performed in. i BATES, Publisher PES YEAH LN ADVANCE United we boost; divided we bust. :o: Broadcasting grand opera makes the wild radio waves wild. :o: Get a new auto tag or you are likely to find you are it. :o: A married friend tells us he is assistant head of his home. :o: Congress is an institution poorly equipped to run races against time. :o:- It is not true that New Yorkers sleep in their shoes so they will be ready to chase burglars at a mo ment's notice. :f If you don't care what you ay, you can say that the Utah people snowed in for four days were under the weather. :o: Another Bargain Wednesday pass ed and the merchants, also the con sumers, seem to be well satisfied. On with Bargain Day. :o: An expedition has gone to the Malay peninsula to study wild men. They don't have to go that far to study wild women. :o: Some folks hold the saxophone in low esteem, but nobody seems to re gard the xylophone with the con tumely it deserves. :o: If a Chicago woman didn't kiss her husband for nine years, and she says she didn't, how did she get money away from him? :o: Senator Robinson refers to Sena tor Norris as "Grumbling George." Once in awhile even senatorial cour tesy has to give way to the stub born truth. :o: French hotel keepers are disturb ed because the government has lev ied a tourist tax of $2.50. The French hotel keepers hate to divide up with anybody. ' o:o Another reason why the lower house of congress isn't able to do much work is because it is so busy t rv i n tr dotorm ino whnm V o noTt vn11RP Bn,irr :o: Anyone receiving parcel post packages that don't belong to them, and appropriating them to their own use, is laying themselves the government and will out in time. :o: liable to be found Senator Edwards of New Jersey has been dealing in the rum trade, according to the testimony of fed eral agents, but the senator claims it is simply a frame-up. Let no guilty man escape, high or low. :o: Washington reports the house leaders are trying to reach, an un derstanding with the senate on the Muscle Shoals bill. Rather a diffi cult undertaking, it would seem, seeing that the senate itself doesn't understand what It wants. :o: Once upon a time, the hubbies of this great land would slip their bet ter three-quarters a dime on Sunday morning before going to church for shaving his neck. It's different now. Each shaves the other's neck and they don't go to church, either. :o: The government is after the pen sion swipers and several have been unearthed. One man has confessed that he has stolen a pension to pay for a child. Taking money from the government that don't belong to them is certainly a very dangerous piece of business. :o: The woman in Worcester, Masa who stuck a fork into her husband reminds us of the popular song we have always meant to write about a henpecked husband. The big line in it which we herewith present to any reaaer wno cares 10 write- me song is as follows: "Please manicure your nails before you scratch my face!" Standard Bred Single Comb E.-F. 6RYB80Y PlammouUhPticna 3604 Mynard, Nebraska ri i.fi D FOLKS IN LOVE For those in love the New Orleans Item relays a bit of information which, at first glance, is somewhat disturbing. The Romeos and Juliets, however, soon are vouchsafed a grain of comfort as to their mental status. "Science makes another discov ery," the article In question reads. "No great amount of brains is re quired for falling in love. Most of us suspected it, but a scientist tries to prove it. He used 200 pigeons. From these he removed the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that is supposed to do the thinking for folk. The pigeons recovered from the op eration and kept on billing and coo ing. "The scientist advanced the ex periment. He removed more of the pigeon's brains. He found that of all the instincts the love instinct seemed to function on the slightest amount of brain matter. "So much for science and love. Lovers need not feel badly about it. While the experiment indicates that no brains are needed to fall in love. it doesn't prove that being in love indicates a lack of brains. Love may not be amenable to reason, but it isn't necessarily feeble-mindedness. j If so, it Is a pleasant form of insan ity sometimes." j Yet some people sa3' newspaper editors are born knockers. We know : at least one man who gets red in the face, and comes perilously near to echoing the sentiments of the famed Sir W'illiam Berkeley, with respect to the press, every time he thinks of what is to be found in the journals j of public opinion. We have attempt- j ed to tell him he was wrong, but we , have succeeded indifferently. Just think what a beautiful opportunity this New Orleans editor had to saj mean thing3 about those who bill and coo. Yet he wound up his ar ticle with, the magnanimous state ment that "love may not be amen able to reason, but it isn't necessar ily feeble-mindedness." Editors are nice people if they keep good hours and don't see too much of the world about them. :o: FAILURE OF PROHIBITION Judge Edward Gary, president of the United States Steel corporation, ; was correct in his statement that the; greatest failure of prohibition has been among "respectable and re spected citizens." It Is these, who know better - who are not oljserving the law; These people of standing, who are the first to yell bloody murder at anything that even smacks of disre spect of laws that involve property rights who see red when any laws are violated that transgress the ac customed order of things these are the people who today are violating the prohibition law, and making the bootleggers rich. These "respectable and respected citizens," as Judge Gary calls them, are doing more than any class of cit izens to bring disrepute and disre spect for the law, and their acts re flect not only on the prohibition law. but all laws. No man has a right to select the laws he wishes to observe. Prohibition is part of the law, and these "respected and respectable citi zens," who have had all the advant ages that an enlightened government could give them, should be the first to assist In upholding the laws of the land. The whiskey head the dissolute woman and the gambler these are expected to violate the law at every opportunity. They have no respect for society. They are not expected to have respect for its laws, but those who have had the advantages that come to people of means in a well ordered government these people should be the first to uphold by their example the prohibition laws of the country, and break them down. - :o: " HIT-AND-RUN DRIVERS The San Francisco Chronicle tells us that- "the hit-and-run automo bile culprit made a record last month in San Francisco and Oakland that is sufficient to make the law-abiding citizen shudder and look about for some means of curbing this cruel agent of grim death." Unfortunate ly, this deplorable situation is not peculiar to San Francisco and Oak- ; . 'land In all parts of the country there is a small percentage of driv ers of the "hit-and-run" class one that of reckless criminality, and the other Is that of foolish cowardice. The reckless criminal driver, when he kills or maims a pedestrian or the occupant of another car, and rushes on, is often hurrying to get away from scenes of some other crime. The other type of offender, whose injury to another has been simply because he is too great a coward to stop and face the results of his lack of suffi cient care. While these two kinds of "hit-and-run" drivers undoubtedly exist, it is not possible, and perhaps not entirely desirable, to make any sharp distinction in their treatment, in case their identity is learned. The running away through cowardice may not indicate an habitually crim inal disposition, but its effects are so nearly the same and its tolera tion works so clearly in the interest of the genuinely criminal driver that it should bring a very severe legal penalty whenever proof of the of fense is forthcoming. As the Chronicle rightly says: "It is bad enough to be run down and mangled by these reckless drivers; I but to be left helpless by the road- i ; i iw , j i Eiue wuiie me gumy seeKs saieiy reaches the limit of human endur ance and test the patience of the pub lic to the breaking point." :o: FARM BUREAU NOTES f - Copy for this Department -J. furnished by County Agent Testing of Cattle Please read the entire article as it will probably clear the situation in regard to area testing of cattle. The farm bureau circulated petitions and secured the necessary 51 per cent of owners of cattle. After the state department of agriculture had approved this it was laid before the county commissioners. As the state law had no provisions for the coun ty to make appropriations to help defray expenses for testing, the com missioners asked for a ruling by the pttorney general. The election and other things made this impossible until after January 1. The county attorney, Mr. Kieck, and the agri cultural agent with Mr. Banning and Mr. Towle met with the attor ney general. The ruling that he gave was that the county commis sioners had no power to appropriate money for area testing unless it was so stated in their annual budget which is made in January each year. Then when the levy is made in Au gust the money would be collected as usual. This is whv the area test ing v.-?.s held up in Cass county, also j in Otoe county. ! The commissioners in the county are" in sympathy with the movement ; and have this year included the ap propriation for area testing in their budget. Now it remains that the present legislature to change the law for allowing counties to make ap propriation to help with the expense of testing. If this is done we can test. Laws are hard to follow and it often times takes months and even years to accomplish things worth while. This article is to show that no one in the county is responsible for not testing for tuberculosis. It is hoped by every one interested that it can be done sometime this year. ELLIS PARKER BUTLER HAS HO USE FOR MOVIE PEOPLE Washington, Jan. 22. Several well known song writers and drama tists testified before the house pat ents committee today in favor of a bill to revise the copyright laws to better protect authors. Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, opposed the bill on the ground it would allow entry into tho United States of foreign manufactured printing to the detri ment of the American worker. Ellin Parker Butler, the writer. favored the bill because it would simplify the copyright situation. He said moving pictures had greatly complicated the copyright question, and added: "The movie people are the worst in the world. They would steal the teeth out of our heads if they could. Objection was raise? against this statement and it was stricken from the record. Augustus Thomas supported the bill. MONTGOMERY WARD HAS PROFIT OF 10 MILLIONS Chicago, 111., Jan. 22.
