For years and years about this
time before Christmas we urged our
readers to do their "Christmas shop

where it done any good. People
will buy when they get ready and

and avoid the rush the day before.

President Wilson's shoulders are
broad and lie has carried many
heavier loads than cither of the
former presidents are able to place
upon him through their criticisms.
A president who has gone through
the trials and tribulations of such
a war as we have had and came
through without a scar upon his
reputation and character, is one be
loved by his people, no matter what
former presidents may say.
It was reported from Washing
ton the other day that the Govern
' ment Is to issue still one more
"propaganda" paper in addition to
the daily marvels put out by Mr.
Creel. That is only one item in the
increased use of our small stock of
paper for the purpose of making
the world safer for somebody, and
providing pleasant occupation for a
deserving few. How many hund
red tons of good print paper arc
put to such noble uses daily we do
not know.
The other side of the picture, or
part, at least, of it is suggested by
the letter printed in another col
umn detailing an author's exper
iences. Similar statements have
come from publishers who cannot
get paper enough to meet the reg
ular demands of their customers. It
affects the reissue of standard works
wpII as the outnut of new writ
ings. More Creel and less Dickens, I
more disquisitions on the intricacies
of making buttons and less Shakes
neare that is the ideal. As our
correspondent points out, every
body loses; perhaps the reading and
buying public most of all.
:o:
A TRAVELLING UNIVERSITY.
The call for funds and more fuuds
to use in the United War Work
should be answered with a great
outpouring of money for this ex
tremely valuable purpose. It is not
to be used for chewing gum or mov
ing pictures save In due propor
tion, it will be devoted to a great
variety of interesting and useful de
vices for making the stay of our
soldiers in a peaceful Europe the
greatest opportunity of their lives
as citizens. They have won their
glory as soldiers; they are to have
a chance to carry on civil studies
under the most favorable condi
tions. As recently announced, under di
rection of the army, plans have
been worked out to give the men
vocational and technical training
that will fit them to earn more when
they return than ever they did. The
English and French universities
will be opened for their benefit and
courses in higher education will bi
established. In the peculiar cir
cumstances they will be able to
study European history on the very
ground where it was made. In
structors will be drawn from the
army and a thousand civilians are
now sailing for France to supple
ment the mighty force of educators
now on the ground.
This is but one phase of the plans
for the period of demobilization;
and it will not be very soon that our
troops will be able to come back to
the United States. Meanwhile their
welfare is to be cared for with
greatly increased detail. All of
which appeals tenfold for your con
tribution of money to keep it up.
They are our soldiers; let us all
take care of them as if they were
all our own sons.

"A piano is the best Christmas

of the advertisement he says, "Shop

Omaha has a "Good Fellows"
club at Christmas times which
hunts up all the poor children in
town and see to it that each get a
present. Why not organize such a
club in Plattsmouth? Gladden the
hearts of the poor children whose
parents are not able to buy pres
ents. :o:
A joke is told on one of our tele
phone girls, who bought an alarm
clock to wake her up, we suppose.
When it gave the alarm the first
morning she turned over in bed and
said sweetly, "The line's busy!"
Don't ask us the name of the young
lady, because we are not going to
give her away."
"It cannot be a source of pride to
our people that the United States
gives less attention to the training
of teachers than does any other
great nation. In a typical
state a state that is perhaps mid
way between the most progressive
and the most backward educational
ly 80 per cent of the rural school
teachers this year are boys and girls
fresh from the eighth grade of the
common schools.
And even under
these
inadequate standards this
state reports a shortage in teach
ers, so keen is tho demand for their
services in other occupations."
These extracts from a recent re
port of the commission of educators,
headed by the president of the Na
tional Education Association, who
have just completed a study of edu
cational conditions throughout the
country, again call attention to a
condition that is disgraceful to a
high degree as well as dangerous to
the Nation's welfare. The explana
tion has long been clear enough,
but little has been done toward
amelioration.
The plain fact of the situation,
which is not emphasized in the re
port at hand, is that the teaching
profession, in all its branches, is j
notoriously underpaid. In the re-!
cent mouths of the war, unskilled
or completely illiterate workmen,
who could do nothing but "saw to
a line" or tack on boards eight
hours per day, received a higher
wage at many places in a certain
state than did any professor in any
small college of the same territory.
Conditions are practically the same
in other states. High school teach
ers, and sometimes principals, do
not fare so well as the college man.
while practically all skilled day
laborers are paid a wage, in some
cases double that of teachers in
some city schools and in practical
ly all rural schools.
But this is not all. The most dis
heartening feature of the wage sit
uation is that there is little "high
er up" for the teacher who remain;
in his profession. The teacher in
rural schools, under present condi
tions, has practically no future in
that line of work. Such a one must
continue to receive, for seven or
eight months in the year, some
times less, a monthly wage of about
$60; get married, if a woman, or
enter some form of work. Hardly
ever is it possible to secure a com
petent man for rural teaching, and
the extract just quoted indicates
that conditions in general are de
plorable. A small number of the high
school teachers, with an average
annual salary of about $S00, may
hope to become principals some day
and receive a few hundred more,
provided they have had more than
the usual amount of special train
ing and display unusual ability.
Some of them may move up to col
lege teaching, but the climb will
not be far up in salary. K. C. Star.

In reading, the British peace
terms it may be recalled that Mr.
Lloyd George is Welsh and his close
associate, Mr. Bonar Law, is Scotch,
and that while both the Welsh and
Scotch are regarded as sentimental,
neither people has ever let senti
ment run away with it.

The government has removed the
war restrictions on weekly news:
papers, which is lucky for Editor
Ford of the Weekly Flivver. De
linquent subscribers may now bo
permitted on weekly subscription

HARVESTING is mighty hard on
horses, sometimes cruel. You're liable
to ruin your best. But this Case 10-20
Kerosene Tractor doesn't mind heat nor long
hours. Plenty of power to operate up hill if
your land is not level. The hitch is such that
you can cut a full swath all the time.
This means you can do all your harvesting at
proper time and run no risks. You can do your
own and a couple of neighborhood jobs.
This Case 10-20 pulls two 7 to 8-foot binders.
It burns kerosene economically while working,
and costs nothing to feed when idle.
