McVann to Spend '
His Vacation at
Work on Briefs
"For men may fish and men may
swim, but McVann ' write briefs for
ever." E. J. McPann. manager of the' traffic
bureau of "tha Oornmerclal club, rolled
down the top of hi desk at noon and re
marked: "You now have th imitation
of a man closing hla desk for a vaca
tion." "Where tor ha was asked.
"Olenwood Springs. Colo., until some
time in September. Going to take tha
family with me, and we will be on our
way this afternoon."
"Good. You will do lota of fishing, I
supposed"
"No, I'm not a fisherman," replied tha
man whose head Is a beehive of rate
schedules.
"Do you swim or play golf out there?"
"No."
"Then what ia your particular vacation
stunt?" .
The rata man carved a big cube out
of the atmosphere with his hands.
"There, I'm taking a stack of papers
with ma that high," he said, and he
patted down the imaginary atmospherio
mbe. "I'm going to writ my brief In
the Nebraska rate case. Won't that be
nlco out there In the cool - mountains
aith no one to bother me?"

Mayor Waits for
Offer from Movies
Mayor Dahlman is being showered with
encomiums by fulminating friends, who
regard htm as the greatest Transmulean
jockey who ever drove a mule. The
mayor's feat at the speedway Is bringing
him fame and fortune. He expects an of
fer to become a movie actor.
"It's all understanding the nature of
the mule.. The mule has been a much-
mallgned animal,' unjustly so," declared
the mayor to a group of friends.
"No animal is more susceptible to kind
treatment and no animal will be quicker
to resent an affront, he added
Th mayor declares the mule has been
misunderstood.
"Stubborn as a mule," is wrong, ac
cording to the mayor, who explains the
! mule Is not stubborn, but merely has the
courage of Its convictions.
He avers the mule knows Its own gait
and does not attempt to exceed the speed
limit. It does not believe in working
' fli-i.. -r vr-l 1 : until Its nature has been exhausted, nor
. ijlCttC 01 lNoUlcloKcl ' will it supplnely submit to scurrilous at
tacks.
"Man's most faithful friend tn tha ani
mal kingdom," says the mayor.
According' to th morning reports to
the railroads, while there were a few
scattered showers over the stater Thurs
day night,1 the weather is clear and warm.
From all points com reports that farm
work is progressing rapidly and that since
the cessation of the heavy rains, farmers
have made good headway with their
work. .
All of the Nebraska small 'grain has
been cut and threshing Is well under way. 1
Throughout tha northern part - of the '
state In territory tributary to th North-1
western lines, threshing commenced the j
middle of tha present week and, accord-'
Ing to reports to tha company head-!
quarters here, the yield Is much better
than waa anticipated. . Reports tell of
many fields that are yielding thirty" to l
thtrty-flva bushels per acre, while twenty
flv bushels la the rule, rather than th
exception. -
