Ezekiel 33:10. -:o:- Weather to stay fair, according to all reports :a: It's the neighbors that hear the family loud speaker. o: MacMillan's 24 carrier pigeons all chew tobacco. But the Eskimos ail wear hoods. -co:- In Brazil there are fish which bark like dogs. We would like to see them chasing catfish. :-Ow An oyster can lay 60,000,000 eggs. You might cut this out and paste it in your hen house. The oldest clock In England was built in 1325 so now it is considered a real old timer. -tot- Dancing' frocks have done much toward keeping up from being shock ed by bathing suits. Food experts say people eat less since the war. That's fine. But they pay more for it. to: The state of Washington produces a fourth of our apple crop, so is a bad place for doctors. If all the smokers In the world were to gather together they would be matchless by noon. mi What's worse than the life of a canary bird while the woman of the house Is out of town? In Arabic the word "sheik" means "an old man" while In English it taaana "a flapper's fish." -UK- More than half of the destructive pests in America are of foreign or igin, not counting reformers. x Perhaps even Cautious Calvin Is beginning to wonder whether It Isn't safe now to take off the heavies. -io: Well, the court says that Chaplin's make-up belongs to him alone. You'd better have those trousers pressed. jo: Red Oak, Iowa and Montgomery county bankers have arranged to or ganize and establish a vigilance com mittee. A Milwaukee man Is asking di vorce because she kisses him too much. Onions would be a lot cheaper. KU A man in Philadelphia Jumped 1,500 feet with a parachute. Bad enough, but It would have been even worse without one. -KM- Kebraska will participate In De fense day plans of July Fourth. Gov ernor McMullen so assured Dwyte F. Davis, acting secretary of war. iOi Estimated wheat crop is the small est since the World war. Federal re port Indicates 212,000,000 will be produced less this year than last. 1 i or No matter how the famous Dar- row-Bryan bout down in Tennessee comes out, neither can get anywhere with the old alibi of being out of condition. 0! The amusing loving people of Plattsmouth and Cass county and our neighbors across the river will have the pleasure as well as the op portunity, next week of seeing one of the biggest carnival companies that ever visited this part of tho country, Complete in every detail. -noi some Idea of the gainful nature of the bootlegging business may be gained from the statement of the rum 6klpper who asserted that the loss through seizure of two cargoes cut of five would still leave him a fair profit. It almost looks as tho there ought to be a law against such profits. 1 in to . Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., million aire publisher of Los Angeles and Miami, recently arrested in Merlcian as a "suspicious character," has written a piece for his papers in which he says that "Plattsmouth" is a beautiful city, located in the midst jot ft fine country, with evidence of prosperity on all sides. We could tell you a whole lot more nice things about our town, Cornelius, If you want to listen to them. FEB YEAB EN ADVANCE May certainly gave the straw hats a bad break. -:o:- Loose talk gets many a man into a tight place. :o: Ants may live as long as 10 years if they dodge picnics. :.ru The strawberry season nearly died out before it got started. It is very easy to play the piano if you can find the right notes at the proper time. Letting bees sting you is said to cure rheumatism. There's a point in that somewhere. We never have been to Lapland, but It sounds like an excellent place for petting parties. We doubt if all radio static is due to weather. "Some of It is very much against his wishes. -co- A boat raced a train In New York and won and we had no Idea New York was that wet. -6G- A London doctor has found the ml crobe causing mumps. It should now be punished severely. CO Oranges and lempns are said to contain stored sunlight, while JugB contain distilled moonshine. jo:- The weeds in the gardens are growing so fast you can hear their leaves click as they unfold. jo: Dean Inge says all will be one sex In heaven, and do you suppose that Is what makes him gloomy? o They are experimenting with the growing wheat In Paraguay. Wild oats will grow in any country. ia Young folks are awful these days A Pittsburgh boy got a cop when his mother Bwapped hia clothes for booze. KM A good many people are wonder Ing how it will be with the world 1,000 years hence, who don't even know how it is with the world now to We are glad the plan to kidnap Mary Plckford was nipped In the bud, but if anybody wants to kidnap Douglas Fairbanks we will be glad to render any assistance in our pow er to make it a complete and perma nent Job. - CO - les, fiattsmoutn win nave a Fourth of July celebration. And when it becomes generally known that Cliff Wsecott is at the head of the general arrangements committee, It is assured of being "a Go," with a capital G. He is always to the front with both feet. . ..,o A Washington professor has found the track of a three-toed "whang- doodle" or something like this that lived 50,000 years ago out In Ari zona. Nof if he will only discover where the boll weevils have made tracks out of the southern cotton patches, he will be doing the world some good. :cn A correspondence school sends out instructions on how to play the har monica or "mouth organ." The in structions are ver ysimple, and any one should learn to disturb the neighbors after taking a few le ;ons, which consists of the words "rtraw, blow, draw, blow," written down on a music staff. -9CW- Mr. Bryan tells the world thp.t he has as many college degrees as the next man and that he has a nation to print them all on his calling and business cards. The county has al ways thought that colleges and uni versities were too free with their honorary degrees and now its suspi cions are confirmed. to: President Coolidge says defense duty rests on all. That's exactly what we believe. When the war comes we should like to see the presi dent heading his army In the fields, and all members of congress, both senators and representatives, going out as shock troops to meet the on- slaughter of the enemy. This would be an excellent example to the aver age citizen. The vice president might administer affairs from Wash ington, and special elections could be held to fill vacant eats in congress. We know of nothing that could be more Inducive than this to world peace. JUNGLE ANIMALS Fish that climb trees, monkeys that brush their teeth, and birds that sleep upside down are reported from the jungles of the Malay peninsula by Explorer Carveth Wells. There is an even queerer thing in those Malay jungles. That is a per fectly good railroad, with an express train once a week, clear through them, all the way to Bangkok. You ride through the elephant jungle, where the elephants made trouble during the construction by pulling up 6takes, across a country the lower part of which has been reclaimed for rubber plantations but still primi tive jungle, with here and there a small rice clearing and a few native bamboo huts on stilts. Your luxurious sleeping car berth is a board on which you lay your own bedding, and you may slaughter a quart of insects on the outside of your mosquito netting, but even this is such incongruous comfort that it is really the queerest thing in the whole jungle. Roosevelt described the road across Africa as a "railroad through the Pleistocene." This, in parts, is al most a railroad through the Carbon iferous. Try it some time when you are In Singapore and have a couple of weeks to spare. :o; THE TRUE AETIST The true artist strikes at perfec tion or destruction. He will accept no compromise. "Good enough" is never good enough for the artist. The man who is satisfied to "get by" has nothing in common with the artist. He will never approach ar tistry in his work. The spirit of the artist can enter Into any kind of work. No matter what you are engaged in you can be an artist. Two men learn a trade. They pur sue it for years One proves to be an artist. The other just works at the trade. The reason Is that one man aims at perfection and will be satisfied with nothing lees. Hence he la al wavs dissatisfied. That is the way with the artist. That is the penalty he must pay. He must be ever dis satisfied. But In his soul there will be, de spite his dissatisfaction in his work. a great peace of mind. It is the peace of mind that comes from the consciousness of having put into a thing everything you have to give You have done the thing that came to your hand as well as you could. Perhaps you had but one tal ent. You did not wrap it in a nap kin. You invested it and made it pay the limit. The world Is full of workmen. tradesmen, business men professional men all satisfied with "good enough." all satisfied with just "get ting by." Suppose you play golf. Do j-ou come home satisfied when you have played a fairly good game? Do you congratulate yourself and accept com placently the congratulations of your friends when you find that your game is not falling off? Do you take comfort in the thought that you are playing as good a game as your neighbor So-and-So? If you have all these mediocre re actions you may xe sure you are never going to be an artist at golf. You must be forever dissatisfied, for ever shooting at perfection. The artist in this life's work makes no compromise with perfection. to CONCERNING THE WEATHER The sort of-weather we have been experiencing in Plattsmouth during the last few days, gives us an- un derstanding of why Roald Amund sen, North Pole explorer, has failed to communicate with the rest of the world. Amundsen has been reading our weather reports, or perhaps getting 'em by radio. A man who would voluntarily return to the United States in the midst of a heat wave Is just about in the mental class with members of the Nebraska legislature. The Norseman's continued absence ought to bring about a thaw in the brains of cold storage men. Oppor tunity is sweating at their doors. If we owned an ice house, we'd put in triple tiers of bunks and run the hotels out of business. As a rooming house, a cold storage has advantages which a hotel lacks. Hotel rooms work all night and loaf all day and there's no way to make them produce every hour of the twenty-four. The difficulty of speed ing up production Is the one" great problem of the inn keepers a prob lem they have about given up. A well-bunked cold storage, on the other hand, presents a picture of beautiful efficiency. As soon as the all-night guests were chopped out in the morning the first rush of day light sleeping customers would start filling the vacancies. During the heat of the day the beds, each equipped with a patent re frigerating mattress, would be let for short periods. Short-necked men in the fifties who don't wear well in June and July weather could be ac commodated for an hour at a time, with the privilege of renewing the lease if their blood pressure hadn't gone down. Slim chaps who have seen service in stokeholds wouldn't require such a long interment, so special rates would be offered ten and fifteen-min ute customers. An intelligent advertising cam paign would popularize these polar inns all over the whole country. The public could be won over with neat inserts in the papers. "Be Frapped in Ten Minutes Full Freeze in Thirty Beat the Heat!" This service would cost money, of course. . . . And Amundsen is keep ing cool without turning loose a dime. CHEERFUL OUTLOOK "Business is good." Ask the average merchant ir Plattsmouth about the state of trade and that's his invariable answer. That is, if you nappen to fire your question at a merchant who adver tises and the average merchant in Plattsmouth is a good advertiser. Advertising brings business, and nobody realizes this more than the man at the head o$ a big business in stitution. Inquiry in the channels of retail trade show that the volume of busi ness for the first five months of 192; is leading last year's record for thi same period by a very healthy mar gin. :o: All foreigners leave fighting zone in China.

But it takes gasoline to make the wheels turn. You want the kind of gasoline that will give you a quick starting motor, full power and the greatest mileage per gallon. Red Crown the balanced gasoline has been built up to meet these specifications. Its low boiling point fractions guarantee a quick-starting motor. Its heavier fractions, which burn a little more slowly, develop full power and pressure to the end of the stroke. It burns up so completely that the oil in your crankcase is not quickly diluted with unburned gasoline and little carbon ac cumulates. You can operate on a lean, economical mixture and get big mileage per gallon. For many years Red Crown has been the standard fuel of motor-wise Nebraskans. They like its uniform, good qualities. Their habit of stopping at the nearest Red Crown Service Sta tion is based on preference born of experience. They always get prompt, obliging service and full measure of Red Crown and of Polarine that gives motors protective lubrication. Get thi3 good habit.
