Dr. Roofs prescription might
have been effective medicine for the
tick "robins." but they refused to
swallow it.
Republicans went into power
promising: a regime of economy.
Why don't they .economize with
language?

Have you heard Charles K. llusrh

for president?
Republicans have a majority in
the senate until they begin to vote.
Then they divide Into several rather
insignificant minorities.
:o:
"Knox on the league." says a
headline meaning a lot of grand
iloquent objections by the junior
M-nator from Pennsylvania.
:o: -
Reactionary senators who are
"against" the league of nations will
learn before long that the league of
nations is also against them.
:o:
Up to June 7, the war department
liquidated 6C77 ordnance contracts,
with a value of $1,843,000,000. The
amount saved to the government by
their liquidation was $206,29S,000.
Don't rorget that if President
Wilson had pleased the reactionary
republicans in congress he would
have disappointed nearly every one
else.
Klihu Root provided for the sena
torial "robins" a plan for amending
the league of nations covenant,
but no one has been found to sup
ply the courage required to execute
it.
of the war. It was rougnt chiefly
by American troops and wholly un
der the orders of American officers
In this battle the American art il
lery fired more than one million
shells in four hours.
Two comparisons with Gettys
burg emphasize the magnitude of
the St. Mihiel operation. At St
Mihiel. 530,000 Americans were en
gaged: at Gettysburg, the Union
troops numbered approximately
100,000. In three days at Gettys
burg the Union artillery fired 33,
000 shells. The St. Mihiel offensive
cost the Americans about 7000 cas
ualties, less than one-third the Un
ion losses at Gettysburg.

MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
DISCHARGED SOLDIERS
-:o:-
Some republican senators evident
ly would like to talk the lecsue of
pptions to death as they did the
various appropriation b l's in their
fi "buster last winter Lu; it can't
be done.
The Ford libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune will be worth while
if it results in a satsfactory expla
nation of what an "anarchist" is. So
far, 'most everybody is in the same
position as Henry. People don't
know what an anarchist is. All
they know is that they don't want
to be called one.
-:o:
Republicans are preparing to an
nounce that they will not make the
league of nations a partisan, but a
party issue. Why not be plain and
honest and admit tKat it is to be a
republican i?sue
It was a good deal easier to get
the nations of the earth into a
league than it will be to obtain
agreement among republicans in the
senate as to how they should oppose
it without offending a vast majority
of the American people.
:o:
Sales of surplus war supplies by
the war department amounted to
S300.157.5G4 up to June 13. This
is 8 4 per cent of the original cos-t
to the government of the material
sold. During the week ending
June 13, sales amounted to .t-s,-000.
:o:
Senator Knox would have a league
f nations if he were permitted to
write its constitution. Under the
one hn would write, every nation
would maintain us great an army
and navy as it could raise money
for, and the armament burden which
canned the world war would be con
tinued. :o:
If the republicans in the house of
representatives are practicing econo
my when they cut millions from ap
propriations for the army and navy,
what are republicans in the senate
doing when they help democrats to
restore these millions Perhaps the
answer Is that republican represen
tatives are doing what their party
wants, while the republicans in the
senate are grudgingly doing what
the people demand.

-:o:
Traffic with the enemy has been
renewed, and imports are coming
in already. One of the first con
signments is a cargo of 200 Ger
man brides broug'.it home by Amer
ican soldiers. And if this sort of
thing continues, it is plain to see
that some newly enfranchised
American citizens are going to de
ma id a protective tariff on such
goods.

Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue Roper has issued a warning to
the public against dealers in Liberty
and Victory bond." who advertise
themselves as "Government Licens
ed Brokers." The fact that a brok
er has paid the special tax imposed
on all brokers under the revenuo
act of 19 IS does not mean that the
government guarantees his honesty
or assumes any responsibility for
the legitimacy of his methods, Mr.
Roper warns.
:o:
After having lived in darkness for
more than a century, the good peo
ple of the southern states are at last
to be led into the light. Chairman
Will Hays of the republican nation
al committee has decided that the
south has remained democratic
simply because the proper effort has
not been made to convert it to re
publicanism. Being the most astute
chairman the republican party has
ever had, Mr. Hays will be the
evangelist to bring the shiners to re
pentance. ;o:

Fourteen stations have been es
tablished in different sections of the
country at which discharged sold
iers, sailers and marines who are
beneficiaries of the war risk insur
ance act may obtain medical treat
ment. An officer of the public
health service is in charge of each
of the stations.
The fact that many men are being
discharged from army hospitals who
may later require further medical
treatment on their return to private
life led the war department to es
tablish the stations. District olli
cers have been appointed with in
structions to advise men as they are
discharged that the public health
service through these stations will
furnish them with any medical at
tention they may require. Nothing
that can be done for the health or
general welfare of the men who ral
lied to the colors is being left un
done by the war department.

BANK STATEMENT SHOWS
COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY
The country's , prosperity is re
flected in the national bank state
ment under the comptroller of the
treasury's call of May 12. Resourc
es on that date were $20,825,000,
000 an increase of SS07.000.000
since March 4, date of the last prev
ious call, and a gain of almost ten
billions of dollars in six years.
Deposits on May 12 were $15.
908,000,000, an increase of $1,518.
000,000 since May 10. 1918. Loans
and discounts on May 12 amounted
to $9,994,000,000, an increase of
$213,000,000 over March 4, 1919.

OVER MILLION SHELLS

The most intense concentration of
artillery fire ever recorded was that

of St. Mihiel. fought from Septem

first distinctly American offensive J
The wheap crop, according to re
cent reports, is disappoint;ng. Early
estimates are not being realized. In
stead of a crop of 1.250.000.000
bushels, anticipated in spring fore
casts, it is said now that the total
production will surely come under
one billion bushels, and mar fall far
short ol that figure.
Moreover, much of the wheat is
of inferior quality, owing to drought
and rust.
The result seems likely to be a
quite unexpected reversal of the
price situation as regards the gov
ernment guarantee. If the crop i?
so short and so poor, comparatively,
as it is now said to be, wheat might
naturally bo worth in the open mar
ket more than the government price
of $2.26. In that case the govern
ment bonus offered last year to
stimulate production may prove tc
be no bonus at all, because the gov
ernment can let the crop flow into
regular market channels at the es
tablished price, or take it at that
price and dispose of it without a
loss.
The farmers, naturally, are much
disappointed. In so far as they act
ually fail to get a paying crop after
their abnormal effort and expense,
they will meet with genuine sym
pathy. They will be expected, how
ever, to take the matter in a sports
manlike way.
With prospects of a bumper crop,
they stood to make a big profit at
the public expense. If the tables
are turned, and the nation, while
getting its wheat no cheaper, does
not have to pay the several hundred
million dollars anticipated as f
bonus over and above the market
price, the public will take a cer
tain amount of righteous satisfac
tion in the situation.

From Saturday's Ially.
The many friends of the contract
ing parties in this city will be pleas
ed to learn of the macriage of Mr.
Harry Floyd Stone and Miss Anna
Klima, which was solemnized at
S o'clock p. ni. on Wednesday, Aug
ust Cth. 1919. in the tinted hvan
gelical church at Dawson. Nebraska
Rev. W. W. Underkoffler, pastor of
the church, performed the ceremony
in the presence of a large company
of relatives and friends.
Promptly at S o'clock Mr. Harlan.I
Ileim took his place at the piano and
played artistically "The First Violet"
by Behr, after which Mrs. Mae s.
Morgan, of Plattsmouth sang "A
the Dawn." by Cantor, in her usual
pleasing manner, being accompanied
by Mr. Ileim.
At the close of the vocal selection
the bridal party entered the church
to the strains of Lohengrin's wed
ding march. The bride was attend
ed by Miss Her.tle Stone, a sister of
the groom; Miss Lilleth Klinu., a
sister of the bride and Miss Marian
Ames, a cousin of the bride. Tho
groom was attended by Mr. Clarence
H. Teden. Little Virginia Klima. a
niece of the bride, acted as the ring
bearer.
The bridal party proceeded to the
altar, which had been beautifully
decorated with ferns and potted
plants by the young friends of the
popular couple. This made a beau
tiful setting for the' short but im
pressive ceremony that followed.
Immediately after the service at
the church the wedding party ar.i
friends proceeded in automobiles to
the beautiful country home of Mr.
and Mrs. H. (). Layson, six miles
;outh of Dawson, where the wedding
reception was held, Mrs. Layson be
ing a sister of the bride. llere.th-'
bride and groom received the con
gratulations and best wishes ol!
many friends.. Dainty and deliciou
refreshments were served during the
evening.
The bride is a daughter of Mr
and Mrs. John J. Klima. who liav.
for many years been honored citizen:;
of Dawson. She has for the past
five years been one of the success
ful teachers of the county and it was
with regret that the board ot edu
cation at Dawson released her fro;;i
the school work. She has been most
active in church and social circles
and will be greatly missed by a host
of friends who have known her all
her life and join with one accord
in wishing her life's choicest bless
ings. Daintly attired in a simple
gown of white georgette and white
satin, her bridal veil held in plac
by lillies of the valley and carry
ing a shower boquet of Ophelia roses,
ihe made a most charming bride.
The groom is the oldest son ot"
Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Stone, of Platts
mouth. He is a son' of whom the
parents and community are justly
proud. He is a young man of ex
emplary habits, industrious and am
bitious. After graduation from the
Plattsmouth high school he taught
a year in the vicinity of Dawson.
The lollowing summer he answered
his country's call by entering the
service as a volunteer and. was coin
missioned by Governor Neville as
second lieutenant in the 6th Nebras
ka infantry, and accompanied that
organization to Camp Cody. New
Mexico, where he vith the entire
machine gun company was transfer
red to the 1 2 fitli machine gun. bat
talion and remained with that or
ganization until in the late summer
of 1918 when he was promoted to
the rank of 1st lieutenant and as
signed to duty at Camp Dix, New
Jersey, despite his earnest desire to
accompany his organization over
seas. He later was recommended for
higher honors when mustered out of
service in February, 1919.

MRS. EDWARDS HAS ' GAINED
FOURTEEN POUNDS BY
TAKING TANLAC.
"I weigh just fourteen pounds
more than I did when I commenced
taking Tanlac a short time ago. and
my troubles have been completely
overcome." said Mrs.' Nancy Kd
wards, who lives at 5 620 East 12th
Street. Kansas City. Mo., while talk
ing to a Tanlac. representative the
other day.
"About two years ago." continued
Mrs. Edwards, "I began to have
stomach trouble, and until I com
menced taking Tanlac, my condi
tion had gradually grown worse all
the time. In fact, I had reached
the point where I was so weak and
run down that I was hardly able
raging
dav, and
matter lor me to get off to sleep. I
often had such bad dizzy spells that
I could hardly stand on my feet. The
different medicines and treatments
I tried didn't do me any good at all.
"My daughter had been taking
Tanlac, and it had done her so much
good that I decided to give it a
trial myself. and I can honestly
state that by the time I had finish
ed my first bottle I was feeling like
a different person. Well, I just kept
on getting better, and now since
taking three or four bottles of Tan
lac. I am enjoying the best of health
in every way. I never had a better
appetite, and what I eat agrees with
me perfectly, and I never have
sign of indigestion or stomach
trouble of any kind. The nervous
ness has left, and I get plentv of
good sound sleep every night, and I
have gained so much in weight and
strength that I can do all my house
work without the least trouble.
Those awful headaches are gone,
too. and that alone would make me
praise Tanlac the longest dav I
live."
