Neb.. a second-class mail matte R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR LN ADVANCE Every day puts us just that much nearer to July 1st. :o: Who can blame little 1 -illy f .t ii t telline his dear teacher where shingles were first used? -:o: The. American dollar is tt ill worth 100 cents in gold, if that in any comfort to you who dou't ct gold at all and wear it only slight ly. :o: Any returned soldier who feel" lonesome about not being ordered around any more should use the month of June for what it is fam ous. :p: A June dispatch says: "Denver enjoyed freezing weather and snow-." Penver appears to be or ? of our most easily amused cities, ranking along with Toledo. :o. There are times when one wond ers why Uncle Sam is not made to pay a war tax on his own govern ment, which frequently assumes the proportions of a very costly luxury. :o: A Nebraska City man whose wife worked exclusively for the K-l Cross during the war says darned socks feel like such a luxury now that he id surprised there is no fed eral tax on them. IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN IT'S YOU George Creel is going to launch Into the promotion of memory de veloping system. t5eorg is not sel fish. .If he wished to benefit him self, he would try to teach the- pub lic to forget a number of things. :o: The more the farmer learns about the town man's affection for the daylight saving law, the more stren uously he opposes it. Perhaps if he finds out that its repeal will mean more ftlec-p for the town man, lie will consider the law- more favor ably. to: "Leaders of the Chines studi-nts In drawing up a protect againvt the Shantung decision. signed their names with their own blood." Th plan may be a little antiquated, but it is better aTter all than the P.ol sbevik process of using somebody else's blood for the purpose." :o: The sight of Chicago University girls lolling about in the park smoking cigarettes is not one to in spire the commendation of the old fashioned majority, who believe the clearette woman's place is in the home, or at least in the back seat of a motor car with the top up. "Twelve Democrats Injured in Collapse of a Grandstand in Pennsyl vania." shrieks a headline. Im oossible It must hav been In Eome other state! Buffalo News. Improbable, indeed, but not wo im- nossible. ' Twelve democrats in Pennsylvania would be an enormous crowd one that would crush any grandstand. :o: Perhaps this particular man may be pardoned if he declines to serve as best man at any more of his relatives weddings. "When my sis ter was married," he tells us "the bridegroom asked me the day be fore the wedding to be in the pro cession. I had to quit work in the afternoon to rehearse with them. There was no time to buy the fall suit I had Intended to get later, ih I had to rush In and get a hand-me- down; and after all the rehearsing nothing "went right that night at the wedding. During the charivari my brother-in-law told me' to go out and fix It up with the crowd which cost me nearly $10, and to this day he etlll owes me that money. For the sake of friendship I have never said anything to him about it." If you want to live in the kind of a tow n Like the kind of a town you like. You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left be hind For there's nothing that's really new. It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town. It isn't your town It's YOU! Heal towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead! When everyone works' and nobody shirks. You can raise a town from t he dead. And if, while- you make your per sonal stake Your neighbor can make one tio. Your town will be what you want to see. It isn't your town it's YOU! :o: iritannia may rule the waves. but American aviators have ruled the waves out of the game. ;o: Father Van Ijucntin says he shouldn't wonder if a good nianv Americans would try to beat the N"U-4's speed record to Kurope shortly after July 1. :o: However, it appears that women can vote in the democratic primar ies in Tcxin. and after the pritnar- les, the general elections don t amount to anything anyhow. :o: If it is a dog 'you do not wi-tit. y-'i can't lore li im, but if it's one vou wouldn't take a hundred dollars for, if h; turns the corner ahead of you. you can never find him. :o: The sudden appearance of a hortc ami buggy on a boulevard now t brews the motor driver into much the same sort of a panic a., the early i motor cars did the horse drivers. :o: - What is more natural than that in the gradual reaction toward normal prices, tires and motor cars should be first, nobody knows how many miles ahead of meat, woolens, rents and other necessities? :o: You might as well spare your self the pain and consequences of drinking home made liquor produc ed from a kitchen still. The anti saloon league says it is not going to pay any attention to kitchen stills anyhow. :o: The German national assembly proposes to set up a court to inquire into who started the war. Per haps the court will find a helpful hint in the declaration ju.-t made by General Von Bernhardt that the only fault attaching to the ex kaiser is that he didn't start the war soon enough. :o: My dear friend, it is -only about three weeks till we will be fadfe to face with the glorious Fourth of July. And while taking a glimpse of the future, just remember that it will be only about eight weeks thereafter until you will be build ing a fire in your furnace for the winter. Gee, how swiftly the sum mer has passed. B. P. 0. E. J A dry Fourth or July in store i this year, unle.s Congress gels bm-.y. The letters "II. P. O. K." :' stand for a good many things. The Elks themselves like the interpreta tion "Host People pn Karth." And every once in a while they try to prove it. Their latest stunt is one of their best. Undo-Sam is offering vocational education to disabled men in his army. It's a line thing. So are most of the other countries. Put there is a class of lighters who do not come under any of these classes. They need and de serve assistance. There arc a lot of Americans w ho enlisted with the Ouuadians. th French, the Knglish and Italian .. i . .i armies. When they were woimueu and disabled their first thought was to get back to God's country. They fought our battles first. Uncle Sam has not yet authority for educating cripples though that is coining. Legally these returned soldiers are civilians. The KIks have stepped to the front and vol unteered the money necessary to J provide vocational training for these men along side the boys who 'ought for Liberty in our own army. And so. the Journal is mighty glad to give credit where ccedit is due to the 1L P. O. F. :o:-- i The man who never fought his ! 'own battles, never enjoyed his vic tories. -:o: Lots of wheat will bo raised this year. That. ?2.2 guarantee is get ting in its work. -:o: ' .- i In passing over tiff city we have discovered that the goat is now on the lawn instead of on the bock beer sign. :o: RETURNING TO SANER IDEAS. -:o: Now and then a booze car ruii3 0 the gauntlet and gets through on its way to the metropolis, but there is a marked lessening of the number who are willing to take a chance at braving the dangers of going thru riattsmouth. Many of the big car- goes are going up the other side of the river and Into Omaha over the Tlllnoia Central of Douglas street bridge. Bolshevism's economic .and po litical failure cannot be too strong ly emphasized. Had Lenine suc ceeded in establishing his system upon a firm basis it would take more than a handful of Finns and 'sthonians to endanger Petrograd ind no army could be sent across Siberia that would seriously threat n Moscow. The combined efforts of those actively engaged in fighting Md.-hevist troops would be negatived f Lenine had succeeded in erecting government capable of function ing in Ktissia in such a way as to ... . m . win the commence oi ine masses- 01 the Russians. And he might have et up such a governniMiit if he ould have made his social theories work. Lenine has been absolute dictator f most of Kussia for a year and a half. lie has had evwry opportunity for trying out his rxpivinicnt. He has tried it and failed. That is the most important thing to consider. Had he succeeded tho terrorism and the outrages might -have counted loss heavily against him. Ctrtainly it would have taken large armies a long time to .dislodge him. even if the European governments had decided upon a real campaign against the bol-heviki. -:o:- Oomo to think about it we have hardly noticed the changed time. :o: There are other kinds of smoke less powder that are fatal to mankind. t:o: The boy who has to pay a little more for a ball, a bat or an ice cream soda also knows what it was that Mr. Sherman said about war. . :o: The state Masonic home is a big ger institution for I'lattsmouth than some people think. And Supt. Scott is a good man fo be in charge. -:o:- Whcn a fellow comes around with mouth filled with sweet words of flattery, remember how mother used to give you, when a child, a spoonful of jam with a bitter pill concealed in it. :o: "I reckon you had a right lively time in Omaha?" insinuated an ac quaintance. "Tollable, ' replied Gabe Gosncll of Grudge, "but noth ing like what I probably would have had if I wasn't .considerable lively on my feet. You see, up there, if you meet a respectable" looking man after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, anywhere the least bit off to one side, he's a hold-up and robs you. And If you meet that one that don't look respectable he's a plain clothes policeman, and pounds you because he thinks you're a hold up. So I was practically on the keen Jump all the time I was there, dodging one or the other." Thank fortune Herbert Hoover is still in Europe and this year we can return tr the old. fashioned reunion with "dinner on the ground." :o: It remains c, :e seen if we learn ed enough from the war o make every foreigner show a clean slate before he is allowed to land tn our shores. :o: When the frost is on the pumpkin And the fodder's in the stack. We don't know -we're just suppo.-in' That's when Woodrow will get back. Medicine Lodge Republican. :o: A whole lot of men could raise themselves in the estimation of their wives if they would. ay to them, "let's get along without as many warm meals as we can during the sununer months." :o: A cartoon is being printed in Kansas showing that if the Kan-as wheat crop were sacked and piled up oil a bar-o six liiliniled feet square, it would bury the Eiffel Tower. It also puts the tower nut of further consideration as a price measurement. :o: What digerenco docs it make to the Germans whether they are told now how much they mut pay or re ceive the information after the treaty is signed? It ought to be .-u iVicient for them to know that it will bo more than they are likely to have any time soon. li s' y 1 .T'"f'i:X3,t"'':''',' of(itt:it oi' n i:it i ; nnal Hie- f lrlne tf Will III -ii!ilv I'.ii.'lt of ;is.s iKUll- l.
