According to word that
comes from the statehouse, Ne
braskans have material posses
sions with an assessed valua
tion of $2,712,505,446. An in
crease of a little more than 2
percent over last year has been
noted. Whether this increase is
in goods and chattels acquired
or a boost in the value of the
old stuff is not determined.

“Sweeping aside ancient ac
cumulations of notions, nos
trums and nonsense, scientists
have established new solid
4 facts about this elusive sub
ject.” Such is the introduction
to a learned and labored pro
duction in print about sleep
and how to get more of it. The
author discourses in terms of
the ologists about insomnia, a
manufactured term that means
nothing. You either sleep be
cause you are sleepy or don't
sleep because you are not
sleepv. To borrow' an expres
sion of the late Josh Billings,
some of our so-called scientists
know too much that isn’t so

In the year 1892 B. C. a
slave woman with her 12-vear
• old son was given a loaf of
bread and a bottle of water and
expeled from the tent of her
mistress to be set adrift in the
Arabian desert. With a bottle
of water and loaf of bread to
begin with there has sprung a
people in fruition of a promise,
“I will make of him a nation ”
So from the courage and forti
tude of a bond woman and her
son have sprung the hooded
hordes on horseback that gal
lop out of the desert to protect
their birthright, while their
ladies remain in seclusion in
the harems unmolested. What
ever may be said of the Arab,
crime against their women is
unkown.

I see Montana Jack Sullivan
is somewhat disturbed over the
' day’s fad of the female of the
species being clad in overalls. I
have a granddaughter ZVz years
of age we think looks “cute” in
them; but her maw stays by
the slacks. Some of the bolder
ones of the fair ones have comae
out in panties a few inches in
length, but these are not rec
ommended only for those with
shapely leg, While the ladies
have taken over the belted type
of overalls the gents as yet
have the bib variety to them
selves But when it comes to
styles for the women we mere
men join with Jack in 6aying,
Go to it, girls.

It says SUCCESS-with SPIRIT
First of the Fine Cars in Value
YOU can see this man has made
his mark in life, and while his
heart’s still young.
You can tell he likes action for his
money—that he knows a fine car
needn’t be the most expensive to
give the greatest value.
«
Yes, such are the things you know
of any man, when you note that
his car is a RoadmASTER.

Follow him on his spliced «vay
as he pilots this lively motorcar
through traffic, liven the light
weights are no match lor this
road-steady husk}— i ‘ ' ;i tie
152-horsepower straight-eight
Fireball engine tiiat purrs be
neath its bonnet.
Maneuver beside him at the next
stop light. Then just try to get
away as smoothly, swiftly and
silently as Dynaflow Drive gets
his ROADMASTER going —and
keeps it rolling without shifting,
even automatically.
But don’t waste time merely en
t vying the man in this great car!
1 Why not emulate him?
With all its outsize room, interior
luxury and exterior grace—with
all its front-rank prestige, rare
performance and matchless ride—
a ROADMASTER can be yours for
less than some smaller cars cost;
In fact, even if you had a fortune
to spend, you couldn’t make a
more fortunate buy in the fine-car
field.
iSo we suggest you try a few
minutes behind the wheel. We’re
confident they will convince you
that ROADMASTER has everything
you could ever ask for in any
motorcar—although your Buick
dealer asks a good bit less for
ROADMASTER than you might pay
for other top-line cars.
