ALSO POOS WATEELOONIAN
By A. R. CROH.
Would yon oil a person who lives
in Omaha in "Omahan" or an "Oma-haw-an"
or an "Omahaese?"
. A person who lives in Philadelphia
is "Philadelphian. But a person
who. lives in Vienna is not a "Vien
. nan," but a "Viennese." The names of
these two cities, like that of Omaha,
end in, "a."
"Omahaese" is clearly impossible.
"Omahan" doesn't sound very good
"Omahaw-an" (four syllables, accent
on the first,) sounds best. You are an
' Omahawan, a Douglas eountyan, a
Nebraskan, an American. What would
you call a person who lives in Lin
coln? Well, a person who lives in
London is a "Londoner." Therefore
we might call the inhabitant of Ltn
: coin a "Lincolner." But, on 'tother
hand, a person who lives in Boston is
a "Bostonian." Therefore we might
call the inhabitant of Lincoln a Lin
colnian" (accent on second syllable)
Take Hastings, ending in final "s."
Is the inhabitant of Hastings a
"Hastingsite?" If so, then the in
habitant of fans a Fansite. 1 he
inhabitant of Paris being a "Parisian,"
he inhabitant of Hastings ought to
be a Hastingsian (accent on second
syllable). - .
A Yorker, Please.
The New York man is a "Hew
Yorker." So it ought to go without
argument that the York. ettb.. man
is a "Yorker.?
The people of Columbus, Neb., are
not - "Colorobusters," but "Colum
busians" (accent third syllable). And
in the other towns of the state we
have, then, Beatricians (accent third
syllable), Fairburians, Fremonters,
Grand , Islanders, Kearneyans, Nor
folkers and Plattsmouthers.
But what shall we do about the peo
ple of Council Bluffs? Our duty is
plain in the face of the inexorable
rules of grammar and etymology. We
must call them "Council Bluffers."
By the same token, the people of
Hamburg, la., are "Hamburgers."
Don't let 'em tell ya dif'rent. And the
folks who abide in Frankfort are,
without the shadow of doubt, "Frank
sorters." Doesn't it make you hungry?
nno ii you want some wieners, too,
there are the "Oelweiners."
The inhabitants of Naples are
"Neapolitans," but that doesn't signify
that the inhabitants of Des Moines..
la., are; "Des Moinolitans." I shout
designate tnem just plain "Des Mom-
Shall'' we call the citizens of Wafer,
loo J'Waterlooans" or "Waterlooni
ans? The second is certainly the
easiest ; to pronounce and the most
phonetic. And there is really no in
nuendo, in it. ' (' v1 i
In South Dakota the people of
Lead are certainly "Leaders." '
Wouldn't it be awful to have to be
a Ninneapoiisian" or an "Indianap
olisian f
So. now we know inat what we era.

Uncle Sam 's Youngest Investors
Cultivate Garden in Spare Hours
"I want to buy some stock in the
land bank."
Internal Revenue Collector Loomis
peered over his desk to look at the
prospective purchaser and could see
no one. He stretched himself a bit
and looked again. This time he spied
a tousled head about three feet from
the floor.
"Was it you who spoke?" asked Mr.
Loomis. '
"'Yes," said the boy.
Mr. Loomis came from behind his,
desk to greet the investor and became
acquainted with John P. Rinn, 10
years old, whose father, Patrick J.
Rinn, was outside in the corridor. John
bought $50 worth of the federal farm
bank stock for himself and his
younger brother, Thomas Claude
Rinn, 4 years old.
John and Thomas, it seems, have
been cultivating a garden in their back
yard at home, 3014 Cass street, and
profited to the amount of $25 by their
agricultural efforts. John read in the

Nebraska Did Not Have
Game Carded WithM. A. C.
Lincoln, Dec .13. A press dispatch
from East Lansing, Mich., in which
it was reported that the Michigan
Aggies had "cancelled" a foot ball
game with the Nebraska Cornhuskers
today inspired the following state
ment by Manager Reed of Nebraska:
"There has been no cancellation of
any sort of a foot ball game, involv
ing the University of Nebraska and
the Michigan Agricultural college.
This is1 a fact because no agreement
ever was entered into providing for a
game. Negotiations for a game have
been in progress for nearly a month,
but the stand taken by Michigan Agri
cultural college, that it be granted the
right to use four-year players made it
impossible for Nebraska to schedule
a game. ' The rules of the Missouri
Valley conference, to which Nebraska
belongs, prohibit its members from
scheduling games with teams of first
rank which do not observe conference
eligibility rules. Because of this rule,
Nebraska was compelled to drop the
negotiations." .

Brief Suggests Way;-' r
For Making Adamson
- Rail Act Workable
Washington, Jan. 11 In I supple-
mental brief in the Adamson law test
case, received today at the supreme
court for formal filing next Monday,
the Department of Justice makes sug
gestions for machinery to put the law
into effect.
Under existing railroad wage con
tracts, the brief declares, the phrases
"day's work" and "day's wage," have
a well recognized meaning in most
freight service contracts to be "100
miles or less, at ten miles an hour."
By substituting a twelve and one-half-mile
per hour "speed basis" for
the existing 100-mile ten-hour day
scale, the brief asserted, the Adamson
eight-hour jstandard can be generally
put into practical operation.
The following proposed endorse
ment on existing ten-hour contracts
was submitted to the court: 1
"Whenever by this schedule more
than eight hours constitutes a day's
work, the same is hereby reduced to
eight hours, whether herein stated in
terms of hours or . in terms reducible
thereto, and all overtime shall be
paid pro rata. . .
Regarding this proposad effect the
brief added:
"The Adamson act declares in effect '
that every employe of the class af
fected, no matter what his task,
shall be considered at the end of
eight hours to have earned the con
tract price payable for a day's work.
If he is worked longer, and he may
be,, such work will constitute over
time and entitle him to extra pay.
The economic burden of this extra
pay is counted on to produce an
actual shortening of hours, and this
shortening can be effected without
curtailing the mileage of the day's
trip if the speed per mile is in
creased. "If, however, like passenger engi
neers and conductors, the employe is
laboring at a task which can be and
usually is accomplished in less than
eight hours, he is, of course, unaf
fected by the act The purpose was
to decrease, not to increase the hours
of actual labor. It is only when set
to a task of longer duration than eight
hours that the act steps in and pe
nalizes the employer by imposing
overtime."
