Neb., as second-class mall matter R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE "Old Sol" did well. :o:- No rain on Easter Sunday. :o:- And, Oh, My! What a display of hats. :o:- No success Is lasting that is se cured by the sale of friends. :o: We may defy a world of enemies, but the people we love have us in their power. A bore is a fellow who insists on talking when you feel like saying something yourself. :o: According to a Washington re port, there were 51,000 Smiths in the army. Now, the question Is, who won the war? :o: "Well, what's wrong with the League of Nations as it stands now?" inquires the Boston Globe. Well, how does it stand now? :o: The one who will be good to your face and talk against you behind your back is not your friend, neither is he or her a reliable citizen. :o: Every time it has been tried, cen sorship has proved to be the one re liable method of opening the news pipe marked "Rumor," and closing the one marked "Truth." :o:- Some folks are paying no atten tion to the new time. They simply gu to work when they feel like it and quit when they want to. And how are you going to help it? :o: It is said that a good many mem bers of the legislature contracted the sleeping sickness the last week, and went home. They trumped up some excue to set away after ,the pay stopped. :o: Peace reigns in Europe. The reason you can tell is because the two most powerful politicians in England have come out in the open and are shooting barbed phrases at each other. -:o:- The news that a Chicago Judge has succumbed to the sleeping sick ness doesn't help doctors a bit in the task of unraveling this myster ious disease. Lots of people get it who don't have to listen to a lawyer once in five years. -:o:- A Philadelphia scientist says the next war will be nothing more or less than a contest of germs. If that is true, but if the flu is com ing again next year, and proves as serious as it has it will be more fatal than war. -: The report that the peach crop in the Southwest has been saved and that there will be a large yield is encouraging in a way. it may mean that we will not have to pay more than three or four dollars a bushel for peaches next summer. -:o:- For several consecutive times one evening last week one of our citi zens was ordered out to fix up the clothes line in the back yard. What's the matter with that wire? he demanded, after the third time out. "Has Burleson taken It over, too?" -:o: Patriotism had to be invoked to some extent to put the previous Lib erty Loans over the top. The Vic tory Loan ought to go over purely on a commercial basis. A gilt-edge security, the safest investment on earth, with no occasion for worry lest there be mismanagement or crop failures affecting the security, with 4 per cent interest, and virtually tax free for the ordinary Investor! No such Investment has been offerei in thte country In a generation. All churches were well attended. :o:- A big crowd at the M. P. depot Sunday afternoon. :o:- It is a mighty convenient law that can be worked both ways. -:o:- It is better were you a prophet wittout honor than to be a profiteer with dishonor. :o: Let every one clean up their premises and do something to make it look more attractive. Now is the time to act. :o: The German delegates to Versail les are to claim indemnity for dam age done by Allied airplanes. This claim should be referred to a com- mk-sion of Londoners. :o: The Germans must fork over $5, 000,000,000 reparation money with in the next two years. It would be just like them to try to pay it a naught at a time. :o: One reason why this department thinks home gardening should be done by women is that so much of it consists in coaxing plants to come up after they're once planted, and everybody knows that the masculine sex is vastly inferior in the matter of coaxing. :o: The little boy was on his knees in his little night dress saying his prayers, and his little sister couldn't resist the temptation to tickle the soles of his feet. He stood it as long as he could and then said: Please, God. excuse me, while I knock the 'stuffing out of Nellie." :o: The St. Louis Republic maintains a trouble department, to wnicn readers may send their problems, under the supervision of a "trouble editor." It would be interesting to take this man's place for a day. jiist to see whether he has any more troubles than any other kind of an editor. -:o:- From present indication Gov. Mc- Kelvie's code bill will be cut to pieces before another election rolls around. One fellows says if Nebras ka wanted a dictator, they would have elected him as a dictator. But that he didn't assert his dictator ship until after he was elected. And he voted for him, too. :o: "It is a genuine pleasure," writes an Alabama preacher-editor, to meet a young man who is in love with his work and will talk inter estingly about it." The statement displays a curious taste in pleasures. As a matter of fact, it is a rarer pleasure these days to meet a young man who is not too much in love with his business to talk about something else occasionally. :o: Plattsmouth can be made a better and more prosperous town than she is at present, if our people, and some of our business men will throw aside their little petty Jealousies and come to the front and line up with those who are pushing for the bet terment of Plattsmouth. If a citi zen, whose home Is here is not in favor of up-building of the old town he should go to some town that is afflicted with sleeping sickness. :o: A London astrologer says there will be another great war involving Germany, Russia, Turkey and most of the Entente Allies, and that it wil start in 1926, and that the Al lies willi win. Somebody should write to this man and tell him the war he has in mind is practically over now, and that some Huns are going to start in a few days to Ver sailles to sign the treaty, on the same dotted line he sees in his horoscope. END OF A ONE-MINUTE WAR. War between Senator Lodge and Alexander Bannwart of Boston was declared on April 2, 1917. The first and only engagement took place in the capitol on that day and last ed one minute. We were then on the eve of hostilities with Germany, the senator militant, his visitor pacific. In the course of the pourparlers something was said by one gentle man about cowards and by the oth er about liars. Then all the rules and regulations of the senate be came scraps of paper and the inva sion of Belgium began. Senator Lodge landed on Mr. Bannwart with his mailed fist and his caller came over the top at once with a wallup that must have shaken the first fam ilies of Massachusetts to their gen ealogical roots. Things might have gone on in this way for some time if suffering neutrals htd not separat ed the contending hosts. Alter agreeing upon the terms of an ar mistice, Mr. Bannwart was led away and soon afterward began an action to annex some of Mr. Lodge's wealth in reparation and indemnity. For more than two years now a congress of Boston lawyers has been in session, the result of which is a treaty of peace and a covenant not quite as comprehensive as that of the league of nations, but embracing 14 points more or less of perpetual amity and self-determination be tween the belligerents. The. facts in the case are all agreed upon and guilt is either established or divid ed. There will be no more strafing. physical or legal, and demobiliza j i tion is complete. Why should not this settlement ' be accepted as a happy augury by those in Paris who did not begin their actual peacemaking until last January? New York World. :o:- And the next day it rained. And will not rain for seven Sundays. :o: That was a great parade Sunday, and the big crowd at the M. P. depot is the whole topic of conversation yet. :o: A friend at our elbow wants to know what figure the Bryans are cutting in politics now? We couldn't tell him. -:o:- We like Governor McKelvie, and hope he will succeed. And he will, if he don't get too many deadbeat politicians around him. Men of small calibre like the noted Frank Harrison. :o: Four people are dead in Flint. Mich., as a result of a bone dry in toxication party, in which an ex periment was made to see whether bay rum and hair tonic could be used as substitutes for booze. :o:- Strikes have brought about a state of siege in Berlin, which indi cates there must be something wrong with the quality of German Bolshevism. Now, in Russia, where nobody works, there can be no strikes. -:o: Budapest has nothing to eat. newspapers are suppressed, citizens dare not speak their thoughts on the street and all public offices are filled with Russian carpetbaggers. Yes, Budapest has been "liberated" by the Bolsheviki. -:o:- The Governor is now. preparing to enlist delegates to the next state convention. With the "tool for pay" Frank Harrison in charge of head quarters at Lincoln. It won't take the governor long to find out that he has trumped up the wrong man. "Setting the clock ahead may have its advantages," said a Cass county farmer the other day, "but on the farm It is not altogether an unbiased blessing. You 'see, while us folks respect it as a government order and obey it, more or less, the oows and pigs and chickens keep going by stomach time. 'They Tellr and squeal and cackle to be fed at the usual intervals, no matter what the clock says about it, and can't be hushed by appealing to their loyalty to this great and good government."

Parmele Was in Engineering; Corps and Kearnes in the Famous Rainbow Division. From Tuesday"? Daily. Two more riattsmouth boys have been mustered out of the service and arrived home within the past twen ty-four hours. They are Pollock Parmele and George Kearnes, both of whom saw much active service overseas. Pollock arrived home lat evening. coming from Camp Dodge, where lie received his discharge yes terday, after almost a year pent in France, during which time he wa in some of the heaviest battles of the war, being a member of the Kn iireer corps and thereby subjected to unusual danger practically ail of the time and under enemy fire dur ing the time they were doing most cf their work. A short time ago lie landed at Charleston. S. C and while on his way to Camp Dodge he wired his father from St. Louis the good news that he would soon be. home again, lie was pleased to sec old Plattsmouth. the city of his birth; and to meet his many friends here, as were they also delighted to ?ee him back. George Kearnes, who arrived home this afternoon, reached New York on April 2nd, anr was sent to Camp Mills and later to Camp Dodge, at which place he likewise received his discharge yesterday. As he stepped from the train he remarked, "You can tell them t hat 1 am mighty glad to see old Plattsmouth again." George was a member of Company "I" of the 42nd or Ilainbow divis ion, beini? among eight boys from here who Joined the Glen wood com pany of the then National Guards. He enlisted on the 29fh day of June, 1917. and with the others went to France early in July of that year. Like all the boys in the Uainhow division. he says and was engaged i:i most all the big battles, but fiired well and came through without be ing wounded; although all the other boys from here with the exception of Ralph Allen got into the casualty lists before the fighting was over. George saw Kalph just before he departed from Hrest. France, on his return trip to the states. Mr. Kearnes is looking fine but says he saw enough war to do him the rest of his lifetime. The parents and friends of these two sterling young men will rejoice to have them back in our midst.

From Monday's Daily. After having been away from his home for seven years, during which time lie served one enlistment term of four years in the navy and a "per-iod-of-t he-war" enlistment i:i the army. Harry Short arrived home last evening, coming in from Ft. Kear ney, California, where he was very recently discharged. During Ins long years of -service. Harry lias been in many places and soon much. At the completion of his enlist ment period in the navy he re-enlisted, this time in the army. Dur ing the four years he spent in the navy he got pretty well over the globe from Nome. Alaska, where he served six months, to the farthorest corners of the earth. He received his naval discharge at Sun Francisco, and from there enlisted in the regu lar army, being sent to the Sand wich Islands, where he remained for some time, returning to the states last July. Since then he has been at Camp Kearney all the time un til he received his discharge Mr. Short is visiting r.t the home of his parents. Mr. and Mr.-;. J. H. Short of this city and will prob ably make his heme here for the present at feast. P.eing a machinist, he will probably engage with the Western Machine company. THE EVER DEPENDABLE 'FORD' During the bitter fighting in France in September l'Jl, when the 1'nitfd States Marines took the iaart out ui" the Prussian Guards, and in fact, out of the v.nole Gf-r-nnui Army, and during the wicked fighting at Bel'-eau Woods and vi cinity, some twenty ?Iarines cap tured the little French village of Douresches. Scarce 200 yards be yond lay the- Gorman trenches. As the Germans wore driven from the village of Kouresches. thir artil lery dropped a fierce barrage be hind the village to make impossible reinforcements bring s-ent- to our soldier boys. Oar boys fought until their ammunition was exhausted, their food was gone, and they had ro water, and still they held the villasre, and ftill the barrage fell around them, when suddenly out of the hel lof fro oi the barrage a truck broke through bringing v. ater. food, ;.nd munitions. I'pon receiv ing this, our American "war dogs" proceeded to drive the Germans out of the trenches. It seems to have fallen to a cer tain American Motor Car Company that here was an opportunity to do wine advertising, and so it ran a full page advertisement in the news papers recounting the above facts, and then inserting the following line: "It was a truck that did this glorious work." Everybody was glad and rejoiced that American industry came in just at the right time to endorse American courage ar.d heroism. A manufacturer of another motor truck doubted the statement, and wrote the War Department asking if it wasn't one of their trucks that lxnild have received the glory, and was informed by the War Depart ment that neither their truck or the truck mentioned in the advertise ment was entitled to the glory, but that it was a "Ford" truck that showed up just at that particular time. The latter manufacturer ad vised us of these facts, and we wrote the War Department, and the at tached correspondence speaks for it self. FORD MOTOK CO. WELL. WHAT ABOUT THE BAND. From Monday's I'aily. What is the use of a carnival company, a circus, a repertoire com puny without the music to draw the crowd? A Rood baud is the whole thin? in a nut shell. We have in the city of Platts mouth the material to make as good a band as there is in the state of Nebraska. Well what's the matter? Let us et behind the boys and help. They are always &!a:l to do their part, if we will do curs. Just think folks, when the armistice was cele brated, what would it have ben if we had not bad a band? When you are sitting in the park, listening to the summer concerts, does it ever occur to you, the years of practice the musicians put in on the practice. A band is the best advertisement any city can have and the poorest paid. FOS SALE. Ford truck, nearly new, Ueo truck in pood condition. FordsTrm tractor nearly new. with plow.
