BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Only S days till Christmas. :o: Do your shopping before you for get. -:o: It is the loafer- who never has time. :o: The kids won't Claus. forget Santa -:o: And Santa Claus don't want to forget them. :o: Did President Wilson take the Monroe Doctrine with him in his grip sack. -:o:- We wonder what some of Mhe young ladies will do when the "uni forms' return to private life. :o:- The firm prcceflented Oemand for small sons shows that the war has taught cur people to count the pennies. 2 :o: What is mistletoe without a Miss jr missuses? There are plenty of Misses and Missuses. The shortage this vear is in the misters. :o: The Crown Prince' says his sold ier boys loved him. So doubt they Ioved the very ground he walked on and often wishtd they were back there. :o:- Pniart alecks who tell children there is no Santa Claus will come nearer the truth and make a bigger hit with the children by telling them it was all a mistake there is a Santa Claus. but no kaiser. -:o: One reader suggests sending the Kaiser and his sons "neckties" for Christmas. Let's give the peace conference a chance first, and for the present. . torment the villains, merely with several copies of the Pollyanna books. -:o:- Some of the Englishmen seem to be as concerned about what the President means by freedom of the eas as some of the Republicans ov er here are about what Mr. McAdoo means by his freedom of the rail road plan. :o: The world viewed through a key hole looks small, but when you get out into the world and look for the keyhole it is so small that you can't find it. Some people view the world from a narrow mind, and their opin ion of it is as biased find narrow minded as the hole they have view ed the world through. -:o: "Five conversations can now be carried on over a single pair of wires." says a headline. Is some body trying to invent something, or has somebody merely succeeded in counting the conversations which are carried over a rural party line every day at dinner time? :o: Replying to a mother who is worried because her baby's ear stick out prominently, a Chicago news paper doctor writes: "Have the child wear a knitted cap. in the house and out, night and day, all winter and all spring. If the ears have not been trained into the new position by next summer you might consider operation. If the baby is a girl do not neglect this; if a boy, why take the trouble?"

GLEASON. s7il Ifi-Ury Public Hull's Cat-.jrh Medicine is tiken In- tor ttlonlal..Kgft ToleJo Q Many millionaires pay too much for their money. You can't run away from care in a mortgaged automobile. :o: Those who didn't do their Christ mas shopping early must now do it surly. -:o:- Perhaps the Crbwn Prince might escape from his island, but where could he go? :o: "Why not punish the Kaiser by turning him over to the Russians and tell them he is their new Czar? Another new all-Russian govern ment has been formed. We have lost count, but it must be nearly the thirteenth. :o: Congress had better vote right or Garfield may be compelled to cut down the Capitol building coal sup ply this winter. :o: German propagandists serve the world well in their repetition of the claim that Germany is "unbeat en." It is a useful warning. :o: Perhaps by this time next year the health officials will know all about handling a flu epidemic, and then next year's epidemic will be something else. -:o:- It is at about this time of the the year that father tries to cheer himself up with the thought that anything he is likely to get for Christmas won't help him out much. :o: Literature Is produced by profes sional writers who can't think up an idea that will sell and just keep an writing from force of habit when they have nothing to say but the truth. :o: Says Maximilfau Harden: "Mill ions of Germans are sincere. The Entente should treat them as men. not as militarists." They should have conducted themselves as men. not as militarists. :o:- Don't forget the Municipal Xmas Tree, and assist the ladies in every way you can in their noble enter prise. It won't hurt you to give a few dollars, which they may need more than you may think. :o: William Hohenzollern is a prolific writer these days. He is probably writing a confession of his life of uselcssness. It looks as if he is winding up the last chapter of his life before taking "his medicine." :o: The women who told the Presi dent that they are "unalterably op posed to the sale of German goods" here left no room for doubt as to the depth of their conviction. And it is the women who do the shop Ping. :o:- The man who hollers down a well about the goods he has to sell, don't reap the shining silver dol lars like he who climbs a tree and hollers." Just holler about your goods through the columns of the Journal. Secretary Baker warns the coun try that the war is not yet formally ended. No, but it is-much nearer the end than it was when Secre tary Baker was issuing statements saying "the situation is entirely satisfactory." and "the war Is 3,000 miles away." :o: i The annual Christmas' drive for membership In the Red Cross began today, and the campaign will con tinue during the wee.k The simple announcement of this fact should be all that Is necessary to bring a willing response from every citizen in Plattsmouth. MEAT. One does not need to be a pat riarch to remember the happy days when he could buy the choicest porterhouse steak for 20 cents a pound, and other meats in propor tion. But those who think the war is responsible for all of the increase would do well to realize that had there been no war at all we might be as badly off. In the last fifteen years the estimated rise in popu- atfon Is about 20 Der cent, but in 1 a! me same penoa mere o uc . . a -.1 . decrease of 2 per cent, in the total of beef cattle here. The result is obvious in the increased cost cf meat, of shoes and leather. Nor is the only meat supply that has not increased in proportion to the population. It is only a part of the whole agricultural problem. "Back to the land," or import labor, sums up the possible alternative solution. And how many are really going back to the land? :o: PERU, CHILE AND OURSELVES. Reports from the South' American west coast continue disturbing, ac cording to advices from Washing ton. War between Chile and Peru draws nearer. We may support: that the Tacna-Arica question has reached a well nigh uncontrollable stage. Peru has an interest in forcing her claims upon the world's attention at this moment when a conference, about to meet at Ver sailles, gives some hope of straight ening out international wrongs. If Peru wishes to bring the matter up. Chile, which aas failed to keep her treaty word to allow the conquered population a referendum to choore their nationality, has an obvio'.n interest to crush her former 'victim completely before the Versailles conference can bear aid. It is hard o see how the UnltrV: States can take any part in this dif ficulty, at least on Chile's side. For the troubles of two South Amer ican republics to come before a body chiefly made up of European dip lomats for settlement might involve a disturbance of the Monroe Doc trine. It was precisely agalrst the previous great concert of Kurop. that the- Doctrine was originally formed. But how will it be if a wronged nation ask redress of a council of nations the broad manitarian lines of which been laid by our President self? So the Monroe Doctrine hv. havc hiin- raay presently have its test, along with all else. Washington if it had foreseen this, might some time ago have proposed a reasonable settle ment of the Tacna question. As for the present our hopes arc that all concerned may deem it wise to submit the dispute to Amricnrt arbitration. :o:- BERGER'S CASE. Victor L. Breger, the Socialist Congressman-elect from Milwaukee, has been indicted again, this time on sixteen counts under the espion age act. lie will assuredly? he brought to trial, in due time, but, irrespective of the result of any such trial the Congress should make short work of him if he trier, to take his seat. That body is. the ultimate judge of the right of it members to sit. It needs not wait for a conviction upon a criminal charge before ncting. Probably the question will not actually rise, but If it does the House should not be slow in refusing to seat Buch a man as Berger. :o:- AW CHEER UP! Maybe we folks have become in ured to bad news in the past four years, with our numerous battles political, military and medical. Lately we have had a serious do mestic disturbance. resulting n considerable damage to shoe leath er and human patience. At least two of our problems have now been solved for the nonce the grea war and the street car strike. This leaves us politics and the flu to deal with. Politics Is a grand subject for de- bate, hut a poor one .for worry, so we should dismiss ft. By this process of elimination we arrive at our sole remaining grief the Spanish Influenza The answer to this problem has been expounded at some length in these columns at various times, and, summed up, amounts to "take keer o yerself and don't worry!" So, with these matters so sagely cast into the discard, did you ever sceNa more beautiful autumn and late fall than that which we have 1us, en1oved. and are still enlovim at this writing? Was there ever a Christmas sea son more likely to bless cheerful homes already made happy by the assured return of our fighting youngsters from "over there' end the prospect of a genuine peace on earth, with plenty of good will to ward men? Cheer up! The annual period of joy greatly, enhanced :iy recent de velopments, is upon us. Let's take advantage of it' with our hearts thus full of gratitude for such blessings. World-Herald. :o: AMERICANS ON THE RHINE. The American army has reached the Rhine. Passing over road-; where trod in other days the arinie? of Tilly and Mansfield, of Tuhenne, of Conde. of Napoleon, tiie soldiers of the New World look down upon this old stream, so famous in song and story. They will- view it where . its beauty is most captivating, along thc windings from Bingcn to Bonn, where the river is narrow and its steep banks are covered with vine yards and dotted with ancient cast les. Here it was that Heine makes old Father Rhine dry the tears of the beautiful S&rah as she f l?e ; from the fury of the populace of Bacharach. But the hearts of our troops wil! be stirred by other thoughts as they view the Rhineland, by thoughts of provinces b?ft behind, of the once beautiful villages of France now it; ruins and desolation. They will think of the fury that came out of this country of seeming peace, of it lust for world power, of its lawless ness, its brutality, its treachery, its savage ruthlessness. Knowing the ugliness of its soul, they will not learn to love the beauty cf its dress. Wc carnot yet judge with what degree of resentment the German people regard the presenc of our troops upon their soil. Beyond doubt they are not yet ready to ad mit that they alone are responsible for their humiliation. Eventually they will admit, however, what all the world now knows, that wc hurl ed our millions against theirs not from motives of aggression, but sole ly to defend our threatened safety, to vindicate those principles of jus tice and law upon which our civili zation is based. We have no de sire to humiliate the German peo ple, no desire to take their terri tory or to mortgage their future prosperity. We are encamped to day along the shores of the Rhine solely that the world may be o place in which we may dwell in peace and safety. Mr. McAdoo not only resigned be fore undertaking the task of un scrambling the railroads, but also submits a report expressing his opinion that whoever succeeds him will require about five years to complete the job. There i3 no de nying that Mr. McAdoo talks like a man who knows how big the job is. -tot- Many tbousands of Germans in Alsace-Lorraine are "enduring morr al anguish." we learn from a Strass burg despatch. And 'we suppose that a German who had lived in the French provinces for a number of years might. really soak in enough Get the Genuine and Avoid Watt norrty n Evory Cake r r a morality to experience moral ang uish. -:o:- The German fleet was a rouvenir of an era, a symbol of a policy, a memento of another failure, so gi gantic as almost to be sublime. :o: It is said that Mr. Ford is now trying to decide whether to give a year's subscription to ' his paper, with each new car he sells. or a new car with each subscrip tion ho sells. The circulation proh lem always is a hard one. LEGAL NOTICE. In tiie Justice Court of the Coun ty of Cass, Nebraska, before M. Archer, Justitof the Peace. Frank It. Gobelman, Plaintiff vs. O.
