Just as Dolly Gann got her feet under the table they served dessert. :o: Many a spinster has loved the man she didn't marry longer than many a wife has the one she did. :o: With the election over it might be no more than fair to give every body credit for good intentions. :o: Alas! You can't tell whether it is reckless driving or merely fast driv ing until it's time for the coroner. :o: what girls seem to learn at fin ishing schools is that a man ought not to marry if he can't hire a maid and cook to do the housework. :o: About the only activities that man aged to break into print in news papers last week besides politics was the football games and corn husking contests. :o: No titles of royalty or nobility will r.rpear in the new telephone direct ory In Madrid. Perhaps, however, they may be found in the advertis ing sections devoted to pet stock, mil linery and dancing schools. The Community Chests are now appealing to civic pride the idea being, of course, that you have to fill out your Chest to keep up your chin. :o: The main difficulty now appears to be to get hold of some of the gen tlemen who started holding concerns that turned out to be folding con cerns. :o: An Oregon apartment janitor was among those imprest into service to put out one of the forest fires raging in that district, as his long exper ience suggested him at once for the emergency. :o: Freak election bets are being paid off, most of them taking the form of wheelbarrow rides. Isn't it rather a reflection on our electorate that no advance in originality has been shown in election bets for 100 years? :o: Whether the longer life that is won by new knowledge of diet is pure gain or not remains to be seen. Maybe the surplus is merely to be devoted to study of diet with the thought of prolonging life, and so on. "Once invincible football team3," says a sports writer, "are today be ing upset by the hundreds." Or, at any rate, by the scores. :o: The old-time watering-places in Europe are not doing as much busi ness as they once did, says a travel item. Neither are those in and about Wall street. :o: Old Mother Earth betrays some more of the eternal feminine. She has been concealing some seven bil lion years of her age, according to Professor Einstein. :o:- N0W "GO AHEAD" A French philosopher says that man first became conscious of sin 5,000 years ago." The cycle is just about completed he is practically unconscious of it again. :o: The games of life and contract bridge are much the same. You are no doubt considered a better player if you observe the rules, but you have a lot more fun if you don't. :o: Big business is reported to be opti mistic, now that election is over. Some of it might be expected over the result of the election, and some of it might not be, judging from the re marks it made before. Anyhow, the main thing is that it's over, and whether business likes it or not, there are four good years before another similar interruption. Those who for got to take off the smoked glasses they put on the day of the eclopse should now get rid of them and take a fresh look. Have You Money to Loan? I have 4 or 5 parties who want to make small loans on quarter sections of good farm land in Cass county. ADDRESS A. L. TIDD, Plattsmouth, Nebr. If any proof were necessary to show that the "go ahead" spirit is rampant among tne American peo ple, we believe that spirit has been well exemplified. It is evident in the news and in the headlines. It is re flected in the marts of trade and in dustry. Leaders in trade and finance speak with assurance and confidence of a new chapter in American his tory. Many thoughtful people who were at first disappointed in the elec tion are now expressing the greatest satisfaction that the result was so nearly unanimous. There is some thing indefinably strong in the unity of millions of people all going the name way with hope and ambition for their country and its progress. The same mess determination, with one objective accomplished, will be wholeheartedly behind the movement to lift this country out cf the de pression and send America forward. We believe that the terrible exper ience of this low period in our his tory will now serve as a spur which will drive us ahead. We think that, regardless of politics and political parties, this country is ready not only for serious thought and action in the interests of the whole people, but it is also inspired with new cour age and the will to prove its capacity for righteous and just and humane self-government in all circumstances. We believe that surface signs are but the signals of the deeper currents that will carry this rich, resourceful America out of the depressing depths in which it has been floundering. In brief, there seems to be abroad a sensation of relief and following many weeks of stress and strain of an American presidential election The "now go ahead" spirit is mani fest everywhere.

All mankind Is struggling toward the same fundamental objects happiness, freedom to maintain and express in dividual integrity, opportunity for constructive work and the rewards which come from it. The function of right government is to create the conditions within which these bless ings may flourish. Thinkers may dispute as to the best type of governmental structure, and as to the policies which con gresses should adopt in face the prob lems of a developing civilization, but fundamentally they agree upon the ideals of government. The political party which is to come into power in the United States on the fourth of March next will find itself operating hot under the compulsion of opposition which it has felt for many years, but under the necessity of constructive action. The party system as employed In America calls for a party in power to carry on the work of governing. and for at least one additional party representing other points of view, to act as a constant restraint upon tne abuse of power. Ever since the end of the Wilson regime it has been the Democratic Party that has been the party of opposition, using the tools of opposition vigorously. Often these have been the tools of irresponsible criticism, of obstruction, of sarcasm. But beginning with next March, the Democratic Party will find itself in a radically different position. It will have the clear mandate of the people to govern, and it will have the executive and congressional pow er to do so through such indubit able control of the government that there can b ro question of the re sponsibility for the measures it takes. Therefore, those who are newly come Into power will find that the tools of opposition art, no longer use-j ful. They will fin-l themselves un der the imperative necessity of pick inr up the tools of construction. They will jnri themselves to have become nvjii i:nder authority nspensibie servants of those forces of right gov ernment which are greater than any man or party. :o: WEERE DEBTS ARE MILLSTONES THE CRY OF TEE CHILDREN Germany's debt problem is unlike that of most other countries in that it is mainly concerned with foreign obligations. Reparations have been virtually lifted from the German shoulders. But while the country was paying reparations it was also contracting a heavy debt to foreign bankers and foreign investors, and this Is nowalmost as big a problem as that of reparations once was. The burden is regarded as so pressing that the Germans seem determined to put It on the agenda of the com ing world economic conference. All told the indebtedness amounts to nearly 15,000,000,000, or about two-thirds of the cash value of repa rations as fixed by the Young Plan. Half of this huge sum was incurred for short terms, the creditors being chiefly foreign bankers, who this year agreed to allow their money to stay in Germany subject to a new scale of repayments called "a stand still agreement," which expires next March. Most of the German agitation Is connected with this half of the obligations. It is asked that part, if not the whole, of it shall be trans ferred to the long-term category. In that case the German debtors would have no need to worry about the sud den withdrawal of the money on the expiration of the' present agreement Germany is making strenuous ef forts to meet that other half of its foreign debt which is represented by bonds in the possession of foreign, chiefly American, investors. This is the long-term debt. How great is the effort may be appreciated from a summary of the foreign money re ceipts, out of which payments must come. Total outgo on account of both long-term and short-term debt is es timated for the current year at $350,- 000,000. On the basis of the foreign trade returns for the first seven months of the year, the total export surplus for the entire twelve months is put at about $300,000,000, leaving a deficit of about 150,000,000. But Germany sells services as well as goods to foreigners to tourists, to travelers on German boats, and so forth. It also collects Interest from its own investments abroad. Alto gether it is thought Germany will escape through without having to dip into gold and foreign money reserves, which are already depleted. But the struggle is making the problem one of first-rate importance German politics. Either the cred itor nations must let down tariff bars and allow freer Ingress to Ger man goods, or they must readjust a debt burden which can be liquidated only by selling goods and services abroad. It is Monday morning, the hour eight. Picture to yourself the first line of 700.000 marchers passing your home. Ten abreast. Hour after hour they file slowly by. All that day, all night; all day Tuesday, Wed nesday, and the trampcrs keep stead ily on. At six o'clock cn the third day the rearguard vanishes down the street which no longer echoes the procession's weary tread. They are the children in America who are statistically listed as "gain fully employed." Many cf them are ten years cf age, none is over fif teen. Imagine your boy, your girl, in that vast army of little workers. A certain number ol these juven ile privates, in the labor battalions work on farms, helrir.g their hard- pressed parent.?. Their lot i3 tho least unfavorably. The thief objection is that they are being robbed of their right to education. In poorer sec tions of the South, however, chil dren of tender ago must help at pick ing cotton, and one easily sympathizes with the mother who, herself pre maturely ased and bent, passionately voiced her gratitude for the bo'l weevil "if it keeps my your.g 'uns out of the cotton fields." In the industrial world, the record is still a blot upon civilization. In a leaflet entitled, "The American Child," issued last month by the Na tional Child Labor Committee, New York Cit3, tho statement is made that Almost unbelievable accounts of the oppression of young girls and women working for "fly-by-night" sweat shops in the east ery industrial states continue to come in. It reproduces a photograph of what actually happens in tenement home work where the sweating system, driven more and more out of fac tories, still rears its ugly head. The leaflet givss a picture: These particular children hap pened to be separating into two inch strips interminable lengths of lace, which trailed all about them on the dirty pavement. The youngest worker v.as five j ears. The oldest explained that ti took the group about fifteen minutes to do thirty-six yards, for which thoy were paid two cents. Imagine ycur bey, your girl, that little child of five. Much has been done by cnlishten ed legislation in many of the states to mitigate this appalling evil. The goal should be the total abolition of child labor. Mercy rlead? fpr..It. Common justice demands it. w: AT.7E71ICA LONGER hc?e or ileiigilint Lost 29 Lbs. of Fat In Just 4 Week 5 Mrs. Mae West of St. Louis. Mo., writes: "I'm only 28 years old and weighed 170 lbs. until taking one box of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I also have more energy and furthermore, I have never had a hungry moment." Fat fclks should take one half tea ppoonful cf Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before brcalcfast it's the SAFE, harmless way to reduce as tens of thousands of men and women know. For your health's sake ark for and get Kruschen at F. G. Fricke & Co., or any drug store the cost for a bot tle that lasts 4 weeks is but a triHe, and if after the first bottle you are not joyfully satisfied with results money back. 1-1 Back of the government statistics which show how the vast tides of immigration have turned, lies many a warm, human story filled with tear3, laughter and strange oaths many a drama, comedy mostly, be cause all's well that ends well. And most of the returning immigrants are more than content to go back. Thoroughly disillusioned, they agree that home iz best. The little paved courtyard in Genoa smelling of garbage, goats and children never eemed so sweet. The little farm in Hungary, the little shop in Greece, never so attractive. The mujik who set out for the land of promise to seek hi3 fortune and finished up on the night shift in a Pittsburgh foundry i3 going back to his manure-warmed hut. The fiddler from Vienna, who came over to astonish the world and ended by astonishing only himself running an elevator in Koboken, is going back to buy a new fiddle and enjoy life.
