Plattamouth. .Neb- a econd-clasa mall matter SCHOOL CONVENTION R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE QUIPS GRAVE AND GAY. The war has taught us to damn all diadems. Politics and yachting are tooth matters of wirtd. A good deal of economy is wet- nursed by necessity. Lobsters are up in price. The human brand below par. Do not use your friends or your credit overly much. The big crops are handicapping the calamity howlers. Speaking of minimum wage, that's what married women get. The white man's burden seems to be borne by the mail carrier. Married men agree the inventor of hooks and eyes should be execut ed. People in high places shoot ofT more flapdoodle than common folks do. -:o:- JAZZ AS A STIMULANT. A soap factory in ' Connecticut, having a shortage of help in the wrapping room, Installed phono graphs and dispensed jazz music during working hours in order to make the work more attractive. The immediate result was a rush of ap plicants. The girls certainly liked that jazz music. Another result, exceeding antici pation, was that the girls did more work. The music "jazzed up" their spirits and bodies. They, felt more like working, and they accomplish ed more than before, with less fa tigue. This need not have surprised any body. It is a familiar phenomenon in the south, where from time im memorial it has been customary to start gangs of negroes to singing in order to cheer them up and get them to move faster. Lively music acts as a stimulant on nearly every body, just as doleful music depress es. Look what a good marching tune does to a troop of soldiers or a crowd of civilians. Thus jazz at last comes in for a good work. Instead of " distracting minds, jangling nerves and destroy ing human energy, as some critics have maintained, it may be used to increase energy and efficiency. Let us hope, however, that if jazz is made a general adjunct of indus trial work, or any other kind of work, there will be music of a more soothing nature after the day'9 work is done. Surely no human being can stand jazz day and night. :o: BRITISH PROFITEERING. Reports from London say the most flagrant profiteering is in shoes and clothing. Shoes costing $5 a pair wholesale are said to be retailing at $15, aud a suit of cloth es ing wholesale for $30 retails" for $80. There may be nothing quite eo had as that in the United States, but there is certainly a pronounced tendency along that line. The re cent report of 'the federal trade com mission declares that extortibnate INVESTMENTS Public Service Corporation - Paying Can be bad in amount of $100 PAUL FITZGERALD, Investment Securities First National Bank BM'tf, Omaha, Neb profits are being made in shoes all along the line, from the packer who sells the hide down to the retail dealer. Nobody has charged that the American shoe feialler makes the 200 per cent attributed to his Brit ish brethren, or that the American clothing retailer gets a correspond ingly large profit. But there are certainly inexcusable profits being made somewhere in the shoe and clothing business, and the aggregate profit exacted from the consumer is certainly more than either industry as a whole has any right to. Shoes and clothing are almost as vital as food. Profiteering in them is Just as intolerable. :o: THE HOBO'S DEFENSE. A hobo writes to a newspaper an interesting exposition of his point of view: "1 would like to ask what right any one has to pity a hobo! As I write I am lying under a big, shady tree. I am free I wcrry about nothing. The birds Ringing above have nothing on me when it comes to liberty. Just a little ways oif arc the yards of a big railroad with its trains coming and going constantly. Any time it suits my fancy I can travel, and it matters not to me whether the 'railroads are returned to their owners or taken by the gov ernment, t will ride them anyway. Why should I envy the busy folks of. the city 'wearing themselves out inside of skyscraper"; living their conventional cut-and-dried lives, do ing the same thing over and Over again 365 times a year? I pity them.' "I work when I want a few dol lars. When I get thirty or forty dollars or a 'stake', I hand in my resignation and am strictly my own boss while it lasts. I consider my self a thousand times more fortu nate and happier than many who are shut up in factories and offices and tied down to jobs. I have found my happiness on the road." The letter justifies, to the hobo. his hobo existence. But he forgets a few important things. Without this civilization he scorns, the pro duct of other men, he could not lead the happy hobo life. Without the labor of other men there would be no railroads. There would be no workshop or factory where he could cam hia stake at need. There would be no cheap newspapers to- tell him what the problems of other men about railroads or other matters.may be. There would be no shelter for his winters, no hospitals to care for what wound or illness he may acquire on, the road. There would be no provision for his old age. The hobo may be happy in his way but it is a selfish way. lie is a parasite upon the labor of the world. Other men pity him not for his freedom nor his shady tree, but for the fact that by his parasit ism he has lost the greatest happi ness in the world that of the self respecting worker. And he has lost the happiness of home joys and children and the chance of a future when freedom and shady trees and sunny roadsides have Tbecn well earned, and are therefore - all the sweeter. The hobo's joys are the child's joys those of today, dependent up on wind and weather and other peo ple. The joys of manhood arte for ever denied him. . -:o: William Randolph Hearst says he is disappointed in President Wilson. Considering that William Randolph Is a 'millionaire who can have plo threes times a day and most any thing else he wants in this world, he has a whole lot of - disappointments. The fleas no doubt get hungry But that does not make it right For them to get in bed with us And bit sa hard at night. :o; Country debating societies are still chewing the rag as to which kills the most men, whisky or wr.rs. Both are' bad, but we believe that we would rather be full of booze than bullets. . - :o: "What is perfect sang froid," asks a curious exchange. Ah, that's where the soprano in the church choir su'ids up to sing and sticks her gum on the pipe organ instead of swallowing it. :o: The average woman believes that had she been' in Eve's place Adam would still be in the Garden. The average man, however, knows very well that had he been in Adams' place he would have fallen. :o: If somebody gets your goat, as the saying goes, don't get mad and hot like the business end of a hor net, but just look around a while and get some other fellow's goat. There are no end of stray goats. Annual Affair to be Held This Yea: at Avoca October 23rd and 24th the Dates. -:o:- We have been reading several of Senator Johnson's speeches lately. and they read real nice. It must cost him something for sapolio and Dutch cleanser to keep that brass halo of his rubbed up so shiny and bright. :o:- HE WOULD WALK FLOOR FOR HOURS Had Smothering Spells And Could Hardly Breathe Suffered 26 Years. "I have been in poor health for twenty-six years, and have tried many different medicines and treat ments, but my troubles were not overcome until I commenced taking Tanlac," said C. D. Williamson, who is employed as engineer for the Twin City Pipe Covering Co., and who lives at 1060 Everett Court, St. Paul, Minn., the other day. "I suffered from stomach trouble and indigestion during all these years," he continued, "and when I commenced taking Tanlac, I had given up all hope of ever finding a medicine that, would do me any good. During the past year I took six different treatments, but I didn't get any relief at all. Everything I ate soured on my stomach, and I would be bloated up with gas for hours at a time, and would have the worst sort of cramping spells. Very often this gas would get up into my chest and cause my heart to palpi tate so bad that I -could hardly get a good breath, and when these spells came on me at night I couldn't lie down, and Just had to walk the floor for hours at a time trying to get a good breath. Sometimes my arms and legs would go to sleep and I would have to rub them for a long time before I could use them. I finally got so weak and run down that I had to lose a lot of time from my work. "One day a friend of mine told me that he knew a man who had suffered exactly as I was, and that Tanlac had brought him around all right. Well. I thought that if it had done that man so much good, it ought to help me, and I commenced taking Tanlac right away. I am glad I took that view of the matter. for my twenty-six years of suffer ing is a thing of the past now, and I am in better health in every way than I have been for many years. I ara completely rid of that stomach trouble and indigestion. I have a fine appetite, and eat just anything I want and I never suffer a particle afterwards. I never have those awful cramping spells now, and my legs and arms do not go to sleep on me like they did. In fact, I am as well and strong as I ever was in my life, and I go to sleep as soon as I hit the bed at night, and am dead to the world until time to get up every morning. I can do as much work as anybody now, but I never lose any time from the job. Yes, sir. Tanlac was a godsend to me, and I say a good word for it every chance I have." Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. O. Fricke & Co., in Alvo by Alvo Drug Co., In Avoca by O. E. Copes, in South Bend by E. Sturzcnegger, in Greenwood by E.
