Today Great Crops. Great Nation. No League Nonsense. Let Us Be Thankful. By ARTHUR BRISBANE, v _/ Much to be thankful for this year, fine crops, fine weather, most of the gold in the world, 112,000,000 peo ple, more than tlO per cent of them honest and well meaning, and a thousand undeveloped opportuni ties for everyone of the 112,000, 000 inhabitants. • ’ * -l * ' In the White House there is a man honest and capable, with no thought except to serve the people and make a good reputation. We have 48 nations united in one union, free trade- among our selves, with protection for work men and btisinega hien against the outside world. We have goood neighbors on the north and south, an ocean on the east and west. Now if we bay® brains enough to build flying machines needed to make this country safe against at tack, and if we then go ahead minding our own business, leaving Europeans to mind their own busi ness, we. shall have every reason to be thankful. Egypt declares that she is inde pendent, and appeals to the league of nations against England’s atti tude and comHands. This country will study at’ a distance, with calm interest, the working of the great league of nations in questions af fecting a small country against the greatest power in the league. And let’s bo thankful that we haven’t got to rely on the league o? nations for protection, or go to the league of nations for orders. Brokers went home quite happy and their customers also. The “call money’’ with which men speculate was a little dearer, but pjees contintiecf upward, Steel common going to 11914. Many sub stantial business men as well as the speculative crowd will cat their turkey today convinced that big business and prosperity have really edme to stay. We can be thankful for that. Admirers of the lhte Theodore Roosevelt will he interested in the statement, made by authority of the family, that a newcomer from the mysterious realm of the infinite is/ expected in the Longworth family. Mrs. Longworth was Miss Alice Roosevelt. Those who have read Galton’s heredity knaw.thaj the greatness of the father is’ handed down through the daughter, not through the son. The new little Roosevelt Longworth may prove to be the re incarnation of Thgpdore. It will interesting to see how his little tdpth develop. ^England decides that this coun try ought not to get any share of German reparations and, specifical ly, nothing for our expenses in sending dn army of occupation to parade in Germany after peace was declared, eating up the scanty sup plies of food. Other’ countries have been paid their hundreds of millions for occu pation armies. They collected the money at the time. But the United States’ demand for $700,000,000 is rejected enthusiastically by the al lies. What Germany can pay they need for themselves. It seems a little ungrateful, per haps, especially as we are lending the money to get'Germany started on the reparations, road. But for this country to keep that army over there, with no need for it, wasting the time of ouy'soldiers and the food of the German peo ple, was a preposterously stupid thing. Many Americana would be glad Reminiscences of W vmore in 1888 Recalled by Perusal of Old Paper I Wymore, Nov. "8 —James Mc Guire. Wvmore attorney. Is In pos [ session of a copy of "The Wymore j Democrat," of March 2. 1888. The j !are widely known Col J. R. Dodds was editor of the paper. His print ling office was in a small frame bund ling a hlor-.k north of the Burlington passenger station, and Is now oc cupied by the Jerome Kipp res taurant. Th^ paper was printed directly after the great locomotive engineers' strike on the railway hero, and tho colums are filled with ap propriate cartoons by a local car toonist of that day, Gus Widney, and with 1< keg and discussions of the strike by the editor, who was a red hot democrat and labor leader of his time. The paper shows that General Sheridan Hancock and Roscoe Conk ling were In the limelight at that time ns candidates for president. H. A. Greenwood, early hanker and financier, was mayor of Wynfpre and his council was J. M. Burnham, E. ('. Wilcox, T. D, Oobbey, C. A. Burnham and Joseph Basko. Of these men J. M. Burnham, newspaper editor of Wymore, is the only one still living. According to the church directory in the paper, Rev. Q. W. Abbott was then pastor of the Wymore Methodist church. Mr. Abbott still lives and resides In Lincoln. Father August Rausch, deceased, was In charge of the Catholic church here, and Rev. A. II. law of the Baptist. to see this government lose the money, as a warning against future foolishness. That, however, does not make the attitude of Europe to ward this land less interesting. The,navy learned, in recent ex poriments, that the Panama canal is not safe against attack. An enemy with 16-inch guns and good flying machines could destroy the locks and make the canal useless. Df course this country ought to build a water level canal. The Nicaragua route probably would be best. But there is this comfort—every thing is changed since the Panama canal was built. In the old days when it was opened, it multiplied by two the value of our fleet, mak ing possible quick passage from east to west without going around South America. Now battle fleets don’t matter much. This nation could well af ford to have on the east coast and at Panama such a fleet of flying machines and such a supply of TNT bombs as would make a “battleship with 16-inch guns” about as dan erous- as a bitch bark canoe with an Indian and a bow and arrow in »t. Why a nation with all the billions that it spends and allows to be stolen can’t find time or money to provide flying machines and trained fliers that would make this coun try safe is not easily understood. In Berlin a new law orders cats muzzled away from home. Cats have hydrophobia. Dogs chase them, get bitten, and then the dogs get hydrophobia. Both cats and dogs are out of place in cities. The fight against children's diseases will never be successful while dogs and cats roam around collecting germs and bring ing them back to children that play with them. Kind-hearted persons who say, “I must have a dog or a cat on which to lavish my pent-up affec tions,” aro reminded that a very superior animal, a human baby, can be obtained for that purpose at reasonable cost. The cheapest kind of a Chow puppy costs more than an intelligent human child. London fashions demand for wo men “boyish simplicity.” The new clothes are to conceal the feminine form, so that, as with the angels, you can’t tell a boy from a girl, so far as the shape goes. The It I* noted by lode® cards In « column of the ''Democrat" that W, H McClelland and George L. Worth were officers of the Odd Fellows; Dr P M. Hobbs and C. F. Atwood of the Woodmen, E. C.

E. Mattel, was managing the "Eagle" lintel, where the Markle theater now stands. She was the mother of Edwat^ Mauch, at present a Burlington passenger conductor nut of Lincoln. Among other things the paper contains a detailed aecount of the death of and a tribute tn Daniel McGuire, who died in February, 1888, and was the first mayor of Wymore. serving in 1884.

Schopenhauer hated all women; first, because he was jealous of his mother; second, because a seam stress whom he pushed downstairs recovered heavy annual damages and outlived him. He said: “It Is preposterous to call beau tiful that narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, short-legged creature called woman.’’ The truth is that woman's natural figure, as you see it in the Venus De Milo, or the more feminine Venus Accrupie, is infinitely more beautiful than man’s bony frame.. The question is why in heaven’s name do women insist on making so many queer experiments with that, which is naturally beautiful? And why do they try to look like men? (Copyright. 1924.) J. M. BARRY RITES HELD AT SIOUX CITY Jackson, Nov. 27.—Funeral services were held in the cathedral of Epiph any, Sioux City, la., for .lames M.
