THEO’NEiLL FRONTIER 1 ■ 1 ---■ -— ..1 P, H. CRONIN. Publisher. •'NEILL. NEBRASKA The manager uf the foreign *e partment of a Philadelphia bank, Who has just returned from a tour of Europe, reports that Franoe, particu larly Paris, la indulging in an orgy of spending, with a result that price* are soaring to unheard of height*. In England, economy and frugality are very much in evidence, and “anyone who insist* on asserting that New York is now the money center of the world will realize the absurdity of the statement after spending an hour in London." Portugal has mad© lots of money and is spending freely, but chiefly on imported articles, so that the government has been forced to prohibit Importations in many lines to stabilise the economic situa tion. In Spain, which also made much money during the war, and has been spending extravagantly, “I found evidence of an economic awak ening.” Russia’s ability to export raw ma terials in the near future has been greatly overestimated by foreign countries in the opinion of Col. B. Englehard, formerly a member of the Russian duma and a student of eco nomic conditions in Russia, because of the collapse of the Russian trans portation systems, reduced man power and rundown condition of the Russian farm lands. "The revival of Russian trade will not come until there shall be established a normal state uf life when men shall re nounce attempts of establishing im mediately the paradise of commun ism.” Oil is the greatest hope of the soviet government, in the opinion of Colonel Englehard. Large quanti ties of oil still are stored and pro duced in the Baku fields and it is the product which all the world is seeking. "But up to the present time the bolshevist regime has only di minished the production of oil,” said Colonel Englehard. "It seems cer tain that the nationalization of en terprises everywhere by the com munists will work the same havoc in the oil fields that it has in Russian industries as a whole.” A curious rental paid yearly to the king of Great Britain is six horse shoes, 61 nails and two fagots, as rental for a moor in Shropshire and a forge in St Clement Danes. The duke of Marlborough, as required by ancient law, sends to the sovereign of England every year a new flag em broidered with fleur de lis.

So far as their work is concerned, they onljr enjoy and only remember the hours of high pressure; for them they are the only sunny ones. They cannot do their best work except against time. They want the stimulus of race. They want to see time as their opponent, not as their servant They cannot do anything "well at their own time." We are not speaking of lazy men and women; these people hate the service. -. that they must "get done.” We are not necessarily idle because we want, some excitement to make up apply. There are feverishly hard workers who feel acutely the inspiration of the 11th hour. They fill their time so full and squeeze so much into the day that every hour is in some sense the 11th; that is, it is the last moment in which the piece of work allotted to it can, be finished. It is true, -however, that the greater number of What we may call 11th hour men are not like these. As a rule, the dull part of all toil is dis tasteful to them, and almost always the dull part is in the .beginning. A piece of work may take a year or more to complete, but every interval necessi tates a fresh start As with talk, so with work. We never pick up the thread where we dropped it * • • Speaking generally, however, is not this sense which the 11th hour worker so often has that his work is the best he can do fictitious? Would: he not really do better if he took his time to it? We think not, because thoughts which lie in an active mind ripen, and all the superficial impres sions which make up the conscious thinking help to bring them to maturity.. , The judgment of a man who decides instantly when instant decision is unnecessary it not so well worth having as that of the person who "think* it over.” All the time, every moment we mean, that he is “thinking it. over” he may not be consciously thinking of it at all, but the question is. there "at the back of his mind,” and even if he decides to "sleep upon it," it will during the process of sleep go through some process of solution.. At the 11th hour his “best opinion” has been formed, and it is not the work of a short time even though he could not while still a few minutes’ grace remained_to him, have declared even to himself what his decision was going to be. No born "steady worker” who sits down to his task the moment that he has conceived it, or had it dealt out to him will agree with us, we know, i much less any man who prides himself upon his instant decision and ui*» | hesitating judgments. It stands to reason, he will say, that the man who takes no risks where time is concerned and who “knows his own mind” and wastes none on hesitation is the best man. For one thing, he is the only man who has any real leisure. His work does not hang over him, hi* decisions are not always in the balance requiring his attention and exer cising even unconsciously his powers of reasoning. But might it not be argued that that is the very reason why the work of the 11th hour man is. the more worth? He has less leisure. But whatever we say, the "steady worker” will grudge the 11th hour man his penny. It has been so since the world began. This much must be admitted. The man who works at a regular pace takes the least out of him self, and therefore can go on longer. It is towards the end of his working life that the man who works best at high pressure realizes the disad vantages of his temperament And yet there is still something to be said for the man who could only work under pressure. -. If when both reach an age at which no more work can possibly be expected of them we compare the whole output of each with the other, is it at all certain that the steady worker will have the larger heap to his credit? He has had less keen enjoyment out of his working life and much less worry, and he thinks he has dono his best. But whether a man ever does his best who never works at high pressure, who has never kfiown the joy of outstripping for a moment the flying enemy, remains to the onloker at least an open question. The Fly and the Bald Head. From Commerce and Finance. One of the noblest decisions on record, so far as bald-headed men are con cerned^Jjas been" handed down by the supre^re^Teurt of Maine. It is notori ous that a bald head has a peculiar at traction for the common house fly. He prefers to roost there or promenade •there to any other place in the neigh borhood. Now the high court has de clared that bald-headed persons are en titled to protection. In the case of Williams vs. Sweet, a hotel keeper sued because the defendant, who had con tracted for accommodations for a cer tain period, left the hotel before the time had elapsed. The defendant said he was pestered by flies, which were particularly numerous in the dining room. t The august court held that the fly was a nuisance and its disease carrying characteristics are well known. A pa tron. of a hotel was warranted in leav^ lng the establishment, regardless of a contract for a longer stay, if the dining room was infested with the pests. An Innkeeper, it declared, agreed by im plication to furnish accommodations dompatible with the prices paid, the standing of the hostelry and the class of persons invited'to become patrons. "Accommodations,” the Judge asserted, Included apartments, dining service and sanitary conditions, and if the hotel keeper failed to maintain these in in viting and wholesome manner the pa tron was warranted In seeking quarters elsewhere, regardless of an engagement to remain for any specified time. Hotel men had better get busy with their fly swatters. Restaurant people, also* That "Inevitable” War. From the Springfield Republican. No explanation ever may be made to excuse our lack of prudent preparation for our inevitable part in the world war, because the administration knew we could not escape involvements.—Senator ^The'republican party In 1916, less than' a year before the United States became involved, did not regard war as "Inevt table." The republican national plat form of 1916 declared: We desire peace, the pea« of justice and right, and believe in maintaining a straight and honest neutrality between the belligerents in the great war in ^’our' government had already been maintaining neutrality in the world war for nearly two years, and the repub lican party's declaration in 1916 demand-, ed its •'maintenance,” not its abandon ment. In its plank on the military pro tection of the country, In 1916, the re publican party demanded armaments for defense; nothing In the declaration contemplated preparation for sending a single American soldier to Europe. Not a single republican politician, statesman, or publicist dreamed in 1916 that the United States would ever *laco an army of *,000.000 men on the tattle lines in France. They were calling for home protection alone, and demanding the maintenance of ‘‘a straight and hon est neutrality at the very time that the French at Verdun were making ' They shall not pass” immortal. That is the republican record. Then—You Will Stayl Last night I saw your shadow in the lane. And just today I heard your laugh as I Bmelled roses, yellow roses, drenched in rain. So—you go by!

For the first time wireless telephone communication was established between London and Copenhagen. A message of greeting from Queen Alexandra to the Scandinavian people was received. The first part of the message was very clear, but the rest was at first inaudible, as: the British depot ship Greenwich, lying in the harbor, was using her wireless apparatus very heavily. A greeting from. Signor Marconi was also lost. At the request of the British, legation, how ever, the warship stopped using her wireless apparatus, and after that the' communications were extremely well re ceived. It was very easy to hear the opera singer, M. Melchior, singing the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Eng lish national songs. The messages were heard almost as well by the ordinary long distance telephone. The authori ties hope that wireless telephone com- / munication bet^en England and Den mark will be quite common In a few years. The Zigzag Clock.” Prom the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Inventors of the ■'zigzag” clock. Cap tains Wyatt and Lewis, two former Brit-i ish naval officers, have presented their! claims for awards for their invention, which, they say, made possible the car rying of thousands of troops across the Atlantic during the war. By means of — this device the helmsman was able to, alter the course of a ship in time tqs avoid being torpedoed by a submarine^ The royal commission on awards and ln-J ventors has I ill i n TimUlni mill i con* sideratlon. Commander Wyatt read a, letter written by Admiral Sir Richard Webb, who declared that “zigzagging”' was the most efficacious In warding orlr submarine attack. The witness ex plained that the clocks were used with! large convoys of American troops,, which, when proceeding at a rapid rate, bad to zigzag, and unless they had somo synchronized method of doing so therW would very soon have been collisions, r A Reasonable King. Prom-tho New York Times. Nothing could be fairer than the af-e' titude of ex-King Constantine of Greece, as expressed in an interview just given in Switzerland to a Frenali correspondent. Constantine denies that, he ever resigned his Job—he was mere ly thrown out; but he is willing to go back any day and let bygones be by gones. It they want him back in Greece, he is ready to “resume without passion, hate or rancor the duties of the crown.” “But what about Venizelos?” the bor reepondent asked. The monarch wapr' conciliaiory enough; "If Greece still accorded him her favor, I should not hesitate to accept him as premier.* What would be Constantine’s policy to ward neighboring countries? Why, per haps, tho sovereign admits, "it would? not be different from that of Venizeloe.” Constantine is no home for a lost cause;, he is willing to borrow anybody's poli cies if they will only give him back his,, crown. Greece today is twice as large as Con-, stantine left it. The national prestig* has been raised by new triumphs over ’ the traditional enemies, the Turk and,’) the Buigar. Constantine's , WtlHnS once rested on victories over theae ammo enemies; but that was before he sue-, rendered Fort Rupei to the Bulgers and paid no heed to the cries of the Greeks who were being slaughtered and deport-; ed by the Turks. Constantino's poli cies won the favor of Germany Md; Turkey, but Germany and Turkey have!* fallen. Venizelos sided with France and England, whose favor is very useful. Just now. Constantine is willing to cash in on the work of Venizelos. That Is to say, of course, if none oCT the conspiracies set on foot by admir ers of Constantine are successful; if Venizelos Is not overthrown by a coup d'etat or murdered by enthusiastic ro; ■ alista If he continues to live and hoat, power, Constantine is willing to for give him. and go back to' help run the* country. What could be more mag nanimous? The Beloved Flower. From the Winnebago, Minn., Enterprise. The hollyhock is just a plain, oHtosli loned flower; there Is nothing very beautiful at poetical about It, .but some how or other It suggests home and! homey things, as well as the days that are dead and gone into hletdry. There may be flower* that are more stylish than the hollyhock, but there are none that so enter into the heart'and affec tions of the average person. Too Much 8pace. .
