Every subscriber must understand that these conditions are made a part of the contract be tween publisher and subscriber. A Hungarian court at four o’clock convicted a man of robbing a bank, and he was hung at six o’clock. A little drastic in comparison with our own methods, but it must be admitted that it is effective. An able contemporary remarks that a newspaper that does not make its readers mad once in a while is not worth the subscription price. Are we expected to infer that an irate reader had just been in? United States treasury figures show that there is now some 390 millions dollars more in circulation than in 1922. Considering the increased pur chasing power the comparison is con siderably greater. Evidence shows that preparedness in one of the best means of prevent ing wars. We have the word of high officers of the Imperial German army that, had the United States been pre pared for war in 1910, Germany would not have attempted to draw her into the conflict. Governor Bryan is early in the field for re-nomination. Industrial depression, jobless workers and cheap wheat put him in the state house. At this juncture it looks like there would be no chance of him mustering enough voters who have seen better days since he is at the helm to put him across to victory again. With the occupation of territory in Manchuria by Japanese troops comes much discussion, by statesmen, of the League of Nations and its effort to force Japan to release her hold, by peaceful methods. It would seem that the Kellog pact to outlaw war and such other bunk are of little value hb long as men have greed in their hearts. The next man to hold power usually has little or no respect for the treaties his predecessor signed. Science and invention have done much to get the most from nature and the none too responsive land, yet when ‘.the elements are stirred to stormy action man is helpless before its vast energy. The best he can do is get behind a windbreak and wait for better weather. Six thousand years of history gives but one in stance of a human voice staying the progress of the tempest. “Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a great calm.” Experting the county official fig ures nnd records of Boyd county has just been terminated after a long drawn out program beginning in 1925. It has ended in the county paying to auditors $8,000 to recover $1,510.61. A demand is to be made on our county board for the auditing of the records in the interests of economy. Those bonded auditing experts don’t work for their health nnd have the habit of making a job last for ever. The loss in Boyd county at this time of dis tress is particularly hard, nnd per haps we can profit by what has been learned there in the costly school of experience. Capone has come to the end of his career. What municipal authorities were unable or indisposed to do the department of justice of the federal government has effectually and speed ily accomplished. Eleven years in a federal penitentiary, a fine of fifty thousand and court costs of probably that much more would subdue the best of them. There is more to the con viction of Capone than the downfall of a master criminal. It conveys a significance that will have a whole some effect in establishing confidence the country over in the supremacy of law. Now is the time to follow up with decisive mesures to suppress the Capones evcrwheve. ' outcome of this case has been of more than ordinary interest to O’Neill people be cause one of the government attorn eys, Will Froelich. who has had I uch to do wi h getting the e ivencc which convicts Capone, is one of our own.

Ewing Defeats O’Neill 27-0 Ewing swept through O’Neill last Friday, leaving no doubt about their tradition of winning while O’Neill was upholding her losing spirit. Ew ing’s backfield shift and reverses had O’Neill puzzled, while her line swept everything before it. For O’Neill it can be said that a clean game was played. Not enough spirit was evident to even make things interesting for Ewing. Game captain Kelly provided the defensive spark for his team, and did some neat block ing. Bud Hunt provided a nice sur prise and turned in some good tackles, but that is about all that can be said for the team. Medlen had his first punt blocked as the line didn’t hold.

Nothing less than a six can give you built-in Msioothness *The whole question was settled long ago—as to how many cylin ders it takes in a motor car engine to give satisfactory smoothness. Science definitely established the fact that at least six are necessary. And today, the public accepts the multi-cylinder engine in the same way that it accepts 4-wheel brakes, parallel-mounted springs and every other principle of proved and acknowledged superiority. Everybody knows that nothing less than a six can give you built-in smoothness. Today, six-cylinder smoothness is within reach of every new car buyer. For Chevrolet has produced a quality car, powered it with a firmly-mounted six-cylinder motor—engi neered it to run with unsurpassed economy —and priced it down among the very lowest priced cars in the market.

The warm coin, which lias become so through being fingered by persons in the audience, is the selected penny.
