The political gods having been
accorded a full measure of ador
ation and devotion from partisan
devotees maybe reflections such as
recorded of a great Babylonian
king will sober our thinking. In
Daniel 4:17 it is said: “The matter
is by the decree of the watchers,
and the demand by the wards of
the holy ones; to the intent that
the living may know that the Most
High ruleth in the kingdom of men
and giveth it to whomsoever He
will, and setteth up over it the bas
est of men.” _
1 Holt county citizens have been
interested in—maybe originated—
national influence with u proposal
to consolidate the counties. Now
comes a magazine of similar inter
ests being grouped under a single
state government. To illustrate,
Nebraska, The Dekotas, Montana
and Wyoming would form a group.
Instead of maintaining five separate
governments there would bebutone.
| The Review of Reviews writer sug
; gests twelve groups with one Unit
ed States senator from each and a
States senator from each and a
lower house of 150 members. The
cabinet to be discontinued. The
proposal has its merits. There is
a growing sentiment that we have
too much and too expensive gov
ernment. The cost could be re
duced one-half by a wise arrange
ment of consolidation.
I had an invitation, as probably
did all others on the route, to at
tend a show and dance Tuesday
night in a Holt county town, spon
sored by “the business people.”
The invitation, issued by “Commit
tee,” is rather an amusing piece of
circus superlatives. It told of some
fellow of national prominence com
ing out to our hick town to allure
the country jays with a clatter of
noise designated as music. We’ll
get along without the song and
dance stuff, but would suggest to
“the business people” that if the
money put into schemes to entice
us in from the country was re
flected in lowered prices on their
merchandise it would do us more
good, and doubtless the chain store
and catalogue house business would
be materially reduced.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
If you want to give (and get) a million dollar thrill make
it a WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR —
ELECTRIC RANGE—ELECTRIC WATER HEATER.
Just imagine how proud she will be to tell her friends
about it. And won’t you be proud to give her one of the finest
gifts that money can buy?
One of these WESTINGHOUSE gifts will be a constant
reminder of your thoughtful generosity day after day for
years to come. It will make her work easier and the life of
the whole family more happy.
Another grand thing about giving one of the WEST
INGHOUSE gifts is that it hardly makes a dent in your
Christmas budget. SPECIAL CRISTMAS PRICES AND
TERMS. As little as $5.00 will install any one of these
appliances in your home. The balance for a few cents a day.

the ‘World’s* Smallest Mule.’
“Last October The Nebraska
Farmer printed a picture of Mr.
Hensen’s big mule, Tom. Soon af
terward, Mr. Henson got a letter
from W. F. Tasleh of Holt county,
who said he had the world’s small

I purchase and price, and now Harry

“Tom is 80 inches high; Dick 26.

Dick is four months old. At birth,
Mr. Tasler said, he was twenty-four
inches high and weighed 29
pounds.”
