ISut the boys keep coming home. :o:- llalf we hear from Taris are lies. :o: That was some storm Monday night. :o: Cheering the heroes don't pay for the Victory. The Yanks .can do wonders, but they can't swim home. :o: How much is your citizenship worth? Show it in the Victory Lib erty Loan. -:o: Adam had the earth at one time. His experience should be a warning to those people who want it now. :o: We opine that in the future the governor of North Carolina will doubtless say to governor of South Carolina: "What's yours? Chocklitt or sasaferilla?" :o: The communist government at Vienna has failed to keep control of the situation, which established be yond doubt that it was a real Bol shevist government, if under anoth er name. -:o: Our idea of a situation with amus ing possibilities is the spectacle of a congressman from Texas compar ing the worthiness of Mr. Gompers's constituency with the worthiness of his own. rot- It is written that the peacemakers shall inherit the earth. But there is nothing set down to the effect that the more time they spend making peace the more of the earth they shall inherit. -:o: They are hard after Governor Harding over in Iowa, but it seems they have a big job on their hands to impeach him. There are a fev other governors that need looking after. :o: Some diplomatists seem to achieve great success simply by sitting tight and. letting matters take their own course, something after the manner of the Arkansas farmer who retired in disgust, saying he believed he could make more money by accident than he could by farming. i :o: These sentiments of the Dallas News paragrapher no doubt will strike a sympathetic chord in many Kansas City souls: "Sometimes we feel as if the only chance we have to gain anything from our oil well is to climb the derrick and try to catch a bird." :o: While it is natural for Germany to wonder what other indemnities will be demanded of her later, we have given her enough to start in on, and doubtless the first two years installments will keep her amused until we have time to survey the de vastated portions of hitherto only guessed-at territories. -:o:- A thorough trial of "a man's pay for a man's work" might be a help ful factor in settling the question of whether women holding war Jobs should give them up to returning soldiers. It would at least put the situation on a fair competitive basis Those who do men's work as well as men would stick and bo paid fairly, and those who are kept now merely because they are a little cheaper would have to fall back. But, of course, such a plan would necessarily be a little rough on the Incompetents in both sexes, and our leading radicals could never con scientiously stand for any serious reflection on incompetency. PER YEAR IN ADVANCE :o:- 'Play ball,' is now the slogan. :o:- And that is on the Main street of I'lattsmouth. :o: If a newspaper is dull, filing doesn't improve it. -:o: Before attacking an enemy, map out your line of retreat. :o: "Ignorance is bliss," but the knowledge of ignorance is blister. :o: After hearing some men speak we are surprised at the small hats they wear. The flu seems to have, flew to ether climes. We hear of no new- cases. -:o:- It's a great misfortune not to have judgement ciiourIi to keep si lent at the right time. :o: In our opinion prudence is the saving grace of men, but never got anyone very much new experience. :o: Some justices of the peace imag ine! they are the "whole cheese," when they are not even entitled to very thin slice. :o: Northcliffe is hard after Lloyd- George's goat in England. And it will be a sorry day for that coun try when he gets it. :o: Anyone wishing to watch the re mainder of the contest between the immovable Mr. Alexander Howat and the irresistible Doctor Garfield may have our seat. :o: Our idea of zero in patriotism is the kind that yelled its self hoarse when the boys were goine; throueh the Argonne and now yells as loud ly when asked to foot the bills. :o:- A Pittsburgh pastor predicted re cently that Jess Willard will win over Jack Dempsey, and we wonder if the pastor is firm enough in his belief to advise us to bet on it. -tor In Missouri and Iov.a the women are to vote for president under acts passed by the Iegislaure, but in neither state are they to participate in the election of state and county officials. -tot- Having heard of Orpheus who moved trees and stones with the beauty of his music, a Plattsmoutb boy wants to know whether Orpheus was leader of the band which march ed around the Walls of Jericho. :ot- A Missouri farmer catches wolves ty baiting his traps with live chick ens. A man who can afford this raethod to catch wolves can afford to get a pack of Siberian Wolfhounds .nd a stable of Arabian steeds and go into the sport right. :o:- A farmer down in Kansas has a pig with one head and two perfect ly formed bodies. There seems to be no limit to the prospects of the farmer who can raise two porkers where one grew before, with the same old number of mouths to feed. -to:- The only person who will be shocked and surprised to learn that the junkers are back in power in the German government is the man who votes a reform ticket and falls sweetly asleep in the belief that everything will be all right in the future. tot The base ball fans evidently in tend to have a first-class ball team In Plattsmoutb. this season, and they are already hustling to get matters in shape. And the boys who have taken important plans under consideration are no "slow pokes," I want to tell you. Still a little cool. But spring just the same. to: Where to hold the band concerts? :o: Why where the most people are served. -:o:- Lcnd again and make it a Paid-l'p Peace. -:o:- The soldier did more than his share. He gave. You are only ask ed to lend. tot How much is your citizenship worth? Show it in the Victory Lib erty Loan. . to: A man can lay claim to greatness when his private affairs begin to interest the public. tot- It seems that spring ought to be here. But is it? Give us warmer weather to make it sure. -tot- It's foolish to attempt the culti vation of friendship by giving your friends an occasional dig. tot- As a matter of fact, we all have about the same notion of autocracy. It's when the opposition Is in power. tot Germany is going to take a refer endum on the peace terms. But if that government knows how to count the votes it may be all right. Sometimes it seems as if the art of being a novelist is the ability to take a hero and marry him off to the right one out of a given number of women. tot- In your search for t he man con nected with the war and the peace who Is not going to write a book when it is all over, it is useless to consider Mr. Clemenceau. :o: Perhaps It would tend to hasten the deliberations of the German en voys over the peace terms if they were charged board at Versailles at about the same rate the Germans taxed the Belgian and French towns they occupied. tot Hold the band concerts where thcy will do the most good and that is on Main street. Old people as well as young will be better served. Old people are not much good in climb ing hills and they want to hear the band whenever it is iossible. to: MAYFIELD WAS MERELY A "GOAT" The sober Judgment of the people of Nebraska is beginning to mani fest itself following the farcical legislative investigation of the Board of Control. It is becoming a settled opinion of fair-minded and clear-headed Nebraskans that Gene May field has been made the "goat." The word went out to "get May- field." lie has been "got" and the victory has been won. That is was a barren victory and that the "goat" came out of the scrap with less scars and more glory than was expected is another little phase of the situation which is being thoroughly aired. Theoretically, Mayfield should have stuck on the Job until his term of office expired or until he was offi cially "find," and, in the event of discharge, should have fought the case through the courts; practically, Mayfield. He has been "got" and the victory has been won. That it was the mazes of the courts. Be sides, disgust at the treatment ac corded led him to do what most of us would have done; fjiiit Jhe job and let the oth'-r fellow have it. It is the belief ef many Republicans, however, that he reduction of Gene Mayfield to t he ranks to satisfy a grudge or "punish" him for his well known independent spirit will react bitterly and heavily on those who engineered the scheme to get rid of him. His friends know he i3 no crook; that he is consciemfous and fair-minded, capable and honest. No stigma can attach to him for the work he did no the Board of Con trol. Stigma may attach to him if he had done what many others have done 'under similar circumstances., Nebraska City Daily Press. DROVE TEAM OF OXEfi TO CHICAGO AT AGE OF 74. FARMER CAN DO AS MUCH WORK AS 20 YEAR OLD BOY. PRAISES TANLAC "Well, sir, five years before I started taking Tanlac my troubles made me quit farm work, but now I feel so good I believe I could whirl in and sow as much oats as I did when I was a young man of twenty," declared George Heinz, Sr., who lives three miles west of Peoria. III., on H. F. D. .route No. 1. a few days ago. Mr. Heinz has lived on his farm for fifty years and is well and favorably known to a great many persons in that vicinity. "When my wife and I first settled here," continued Mr. Heinz, "Peoria was just a small village and when we would have to have anything they didn't keep in town I'd just hook up a team of oxen and go to Chicago, because we didn't have any railroad to Chicago in those days. I worked pretty hard on the farm up till the time I am telling you about when stomach troubled knocked me out and I had rheumatism in my left knee so bad my wife would put hot poultices on it to try and rid me of the pain. My stomach got in such bad shape that I couldn't take anything but liquids or soft things to eat and I tell you I got mighty tired eating that sort of stuff but I did it to keep from suffering. "If I'd so much a eat moat or potatoes my stomach would cramp me nearly to death. and I would bloat up and sometimes it would be hours before I'd get any ea-e from the pain. Of course. I felt like may be my age had something to do with my bad stomach and rheuma tism, as I'm seventy-four now, but I bad always been strong and hearty ai d I just hated to give up hope. I took all sorts of medicines but noth ing seemed to do me any good at all and I was right on the point of giv ing tip when I hoard what Tanlac had done for people in Peoria and surrounding towns. I know a lot of perple about here and some "f thrm told me I ought to take it. I was in a pretty bad shape sure enough but after all I had heard about Tanlac I thought. I'd take just one more chance and so I bought a bottle. "Well. sir. that first bottle I took made me sleep better and kept my stomach from hurting me when I ate. and seemed to put more life in to me thaii I hai had fur a long time. I could tell right away that it was doing the work for me and I had the boy get three more bottles and they did me ; much good I jut couldn't help but go out and do a little work around the place and I began to eat Just like I used to and I could sleep like a log and my stomach didn't hurt me at all; in fact. I found that I could eat just anything without; being bothered an;! the rheumatism in my lego eas ed up so I made up my mind to stick to Tanlac, because I know it's gointr to rid me of that trouble. I've bought six bottles and I shall always bles.s the day I got that first bottle of Tanlac and I want all my friends to know what it has done for me nnd they know I'm not the sort to put my name back of anything that isn't just right."

One often hears the expression, "My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria," when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one par ticularly susceptible to the wander ing diphtheria germ. If your child lias a cold when diphtheria is prevalent you should take him out of school and keep him off the street until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diphtheria or any other germ dis ease being contracted.
