' :o: The Game Protective association wants fish and game to say of this region: It's a good place to live while you do live. :o: Hereafter, foreign concessions in China will mean that the foreign ers admit the territory really be longs to the Chinese. :o: Clemenceau says he was misquoted and did not say France would never pay her American debt. So now it can be said "Rah! Rah! Rah. Tiger!" :o: Americanism: Feeling superior to the shabby fellow who has money in the bank: envying- the flashy in dividual who is behind with seven Installments. :o: "My amateur standing is safe," remarked the dub gladly. "I play golf, of course, but there is not enough money in the world to pay me for writing about it. :o: A British official, criticizing Am erica's proposal to outlaw war, re marks that "the United States is in creasing the size of her navy." Mere ornaments of course, not armaments. :o: If Al Smith should be elected President there are jsome folksi around Plattsmouth who will make Gloomv Gus look like one of the world's leading optimists no names mentioned.

But there are places right here in the United States) where you can spend that much on a vacation. :o: Word comes that something more is to be done about immigration, no hints that decency, justice and rea sonableness is to be encouraged. The purpose is probably to apply the quota requirement to all countries of this hemisphere. The extremists won't be satisfied until this Is done. CTNEMPLOYMENT AFTER FORTY I We read a great deal about the plight of the man after he has reach ed the age of forty, and apparently it seems to be true in many in stances as regards his ability to get a job if he be so unfortunate as to be out of work. For some unknown reason of late years there has been a doctrine preached that younger men are the best that they produce more, and hence are the most valuable in many lines of business, or course it is I true that young men can turn out more work under certain circum stances that they learn easier and are more adaptable. But granting all this, the man who has passed forty has many points that should commend themselves to the employ er. In the first place he has, as a rule, better judgment; he is most likely married and has gotten over the wanderlust: he is right in his prime if he has not dissipated and has arrived at the point where he is more apt to exhibit a commend able degree of loyalty to the insti tution. The man past forty should not be judged by the number of years that have passed over his head, rather he should be judged by his present phy sical and mental status, his record and annarent ability to discharge I the task for which he may be seem ingly fitted. There should be no quarrel or ar gument as between the young and middle-aged man; they are both nec essary to any institution; both have qualities which are essential to the success of an employer. It must also be borne in mind that any economic scheme which does not find a place for the middle-aged v.'orker is wrong and will ultimately have to be h n r P"prl One thing the older man must al- o--- I wavs keeD in mind, and that is. the fault of thinking his way is better, or .that he doesn't need to learn the fullest possible number of de tails about the job. That is one argument that certain employers use. viz.: That the young taught the way they man can Dei desire. Sta- tistics show that a man is at the fullest period of his productive ca reer at about the age of forty-two; surely he should not fail so fast for the next ten to fifteen years that he needs to be replaced. :o: . WEST AND SOUTH WEST PROSPECTS Farmers of the Kansas City dis- i I trict and the Central West and south- west generally are enjoying more prosperity than at any time since 1921. Cattle prices are good, and cost of producing beef cattle this year is low. The wheat crop in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas is won derfully good. In the Central West the corn crop gives promise of being excellent because of the recent good growing weather. Corn at $1 a bush el can be profitable fed to hogs at $11 and cattle at $16. Prices of practically all things the farmer has to sell in the Kansas City district are better than last year. while the prices of things he has to buy are no higher than last year and In many cases, not as high. :o: THE VALUE OF CO-OPERATION The real solution of the farmer's problem lies in co-operation. This has been so often repeated that it has become somewhat trite. How ever, we nave this year one more concrete illustration of its truth. The Dairymen's League Co-operative As sociation in 1927 shows an increase of more than $8,000,000 in sales nvpr thp .nrpcprtinsr vear Rnrv in 1921 this co-operative organization was formed to procure for the dairy - men the best prices for their pro - ducts that could be obtained through We can well imagine, towards the efficient selling methods. There are close of that seventh round the oth now more than 38,000 members and er night, became a bit tired of chop- the history of the association is one of astounding success. Other co- op eratives can show similar achieve ments. :o: EURR0PEAN WHEAT CROP SHORT The - government's July crop re - port indicates that the wheat cropl of Europe is likely to be some 60,- 000,000 bushels lower than it was i rrfn ronnrt ..,. last year. The report states "crop developments, in most European! countries were delayed generally have improved since the beginning of June. Forecasts and estimates for five European countries total 609, 994,000 bushels against 672,638,000 bushels in 1927. These figures in- elude official forecasts or estimates for Spain, and Hungary and indica tions on tne oasis or condition re ports for France, Germany and Po land." :o: Political economy 13 what the congressional mills are looking for.

From the dark ages, when she was con-1 sidered a sacred animal by some peo Pies, pussy has fraternized with men, alon with the dog, horse, cow and others that have some claim to ac tual usefulness, whereas she has only an uncertain claim to being ornamental. But every so often, pussy justifies her existence by doing some extra ordinary thing for the amusement of human beings on whom she is de pendent. For example, the tabby belonging to a Virginia family ac companied her mistress to St. Louis and there disappeared. When the family returned to Virginia there . . . . m a. was pussy' suuns UB l"e uuul v wubuuis uci i . Owners oi cats Know iney nave definite personalities, expressed through various idiosyncracies. They grin and nurr when pleased and scowl and growl when out of sorts T)io i i-tk mmnrn 1 nr virtuvis T ,11 V w - - ury-loving by nature, they fall to tne lowest depths when they fall, there being nothing lower than a cat "on the bum." They'll scratch their best friend when angry and cut amusing capers when in good spirits. When wanted, they are hard to keep at home, when unwanted try to lose one. So mucn tor tne cats :o: THE MIND OF EVIL In the middle of the famous Bos ton Common is a pool where attie children go bathing on hot summer days. The thing is very informal; most of the youngsters come from very poor families, and most of the costumes are auite' sketchy. But Boston, staid as it is, is used to them and doesn't mind. The other day, though, a stout and testy gentleman happened along and was horrified. He summoned a group of six-year-olds and harrang- ued them: "You children should be ashamed for appearing in such Indecent at tire. If I had anything to say about it I would forbid you to come on the Common. It's positively disgusting what decent people have to stand for these days." We are very, very happy to report that a group of older people, sit ting on nearby benches, promptly arose and tossed the evil-rainded old meddler into the pond. :o: A LITERARY KNOCKOUT Gee, but it's great to be a literary gent, and also a prize fighter! The combination is unbeatable. If I you can't lay your opponent flat with 1 fists you can knock him out with 1 big words ping Heeney with his deadly left. so he may have remarked: "My primal instinct urges me to propel my phalanges with irrestible force towards the apex of your pro- boscis." And with that he knocked him out. Language helps a lot. When a rmgilist knows both the subject and predicate of a sentence, the active I . . , ana inactive verbs, to say nothing of the participles, it gives him more power in landing a sock on tneiKecoras oi ,ass cuuiuj, '"'"p h7r o: About 15,000 airplanes will be made in the United States during 1928, a magazine writer estimates Still there are a number of people in this country the handle. who prefer to fly off The electoral college, which has no college yell, no faculty, no en- dowment and no campus, never was much of a college. j DO YOUR OWN G RAPING A personal letter from that vet eran war norse oi Democracy, it.
