They were trying to kid Harry
Gantz the other day. "You were the
head of the democratic campaign in
the county, weren't you?" asked the
tormentor-in-chief. "I was," admitted
Mr. Gantz. "Why didn't you get your
vote out?" persisted the inquisitor.
"We did," Gantz told him, "that's the
reason we lost the county. If the
democrats had stayed at home the re
publican majority wouldn't have been
.half as large."
"News reports intimate that the bond
market is all shot to pieces, but they
are not referring to the market for
bottled-in-bond.
We read, the other day, of a mnn
who bought a theatrical troupe to give
him an excuse to play in the band.
And we know of a barber, in Lin
coln, who never shaved but one cus
'tomer, although he's owned a shop for
twenty-three years. The very first
customer complained that he had
been butchered, and the barber right
then realized that he could never
learn to shave.

They can't tell us these fellows
weren't far-sighted enough to know
that some day women would have the
vote.
"Judges of election" is a real t'tle,
in Indiana.
It's more than that it's a privilege.
v( A lot of others know it, but won't
admit it.
Yet barbers are, as a rule, quite
candid.
It's a little hard on us democrats
now, for we have to listen to the
crowing of our victorious friends.
However, it will be March 4 pretty
soon, and within a month after that,
the successful candidate will be in hot
water, and the fellows who are now
hunting a chance to pan a democrat
will go a block out of their way to
avoid meeting one.
Our own explanation of the crush
ing defeat is that all the democrats
voted for Harding and all the repub- j
licans voted for Debs, while the pro-,
hibtionists furnished the vote for the
democratic candidates.

Clever work by a professional col
yumnist for a printers' publication:
""A current report says that there were
one million weddings in the United
States last year, but that only 70,000
homes were built. Which leads one ,
to conclude that little Willie will have '
to sleep with pa and ma for a while."

One would think that Ole Burk was
a bachelor. All the time he keeps
nrinting cynical things like this: "In
the good old days when a man was
injured his best girl could get her
name in the paper by tearing up her
underskirt for bandages. An old
grouch of an editor says there is no
chance for a girl to save a life that
way nowadays."

The Sidney Telegraph prints an ac
count of the Sidney Alliance football
game that measures over half a col
umn, and there isn't a single mention
of how rough the Alliance boys
played, or a single knock for Coach
Prince. The Sidney football plavers
are sportsmen.
I The newspapers played hob when
j they knocked the non-partisan league.
Dave Bowden is one of the fellows
I who admitted that he didn't vote the
"non-partisan ballot" because he
thought it contained the names of
league candidates only.

One Alliance man ordered a gallon
of "wineberry" by express, but he re

Today's Best Story.
He owned a bicycle this colored
man and a passing wayfarer, see
ing it leeaning up against the fence,
ottered Sam a dollar if he would let
him, the stranger, ride the wheel to
town, adding: "I will leave it on
the steps of the grocery store, where
you can get it."
Sam took the dollar and turned
over the bicycle.
When, later in the day, Sam went
to look for his machine it was not
.h-e nor could it be found at all.
Sam uttered great grief in loud and
various languages.
Then somebody said to him: "Didn't
you know better than to turn your
wheel over to a perfect stranger that
way?"
He replied: "How did I know he was
a nerfect fllrnnp-fr?"

Here's a little test of the way you
keep up with the day's news: Who
is the "unslnkable Mrs. Brown"?
From Omaha comes a story of a
bootleg manufacturer who set up a
still in the middle of a farmer's corn
patch and hnd used up nearly an acre
of corn before the farmer found it
out. The story doesn't say whether
the farmer was very, very angry or
whether he wept on the marauder's
neck.
