1920 ushers in national prohibi

and not a drop to drink.

The small bov with a sled on a
good slippery hill doesn't see why
there should be any complaint what
ever about the transportation prob
lem. :o:
Thrift, like poetry and music,
seems to be a gift just now, rather
than an accomplishment, and not
much more popular than poetry and
music, either.
:o:
Of course the bolshcviki are very
brilliant people, but with prices five
times as high in Russia as in this
countrv brilliancy is too much or a
luxury there.
:o:
Premier Clemenceau in an address
to his constituents, advised them to
pay taxes and have children. If taxes
in France are anything like they are
here the French families will have
difficulty in doing both.
:o:
Kmnia Goldman said just before
the loat mailed that the United States
had signed its death warrant. We
never worry over what Emma says
and. besides, if we had signed it it
would be with strong reservations.
:o:
There'll be fewer "busted" resolu
tions in 1920.

The motto of the reds: No peace
on earth. Good will to none.

The once vociferous dollar is now
a poor shinking little thing.

A few men are homeless and many
are home less than they ought to be.
:o:
Another war in the Balkans is pre
dicted. Apparently the Balkans balk
at nothing.

It is perfectly all right to turn
over a new leaf, but it is well to re
member the lesson of the one before

Life for a magazine reader these
days, observes K. B. G.. is Just one
darned "Continued on Dasre 110" af

:o:
That Chicago man who "lias $900
and wants a wife" evidently expects
her to bring along her own clothes
and groceries.
So long as we must purchase food
And pay the water rent.
And stand for being gouged galore.
How CAN we be content?
:o:
Don't you ever wonder whether
England's famed long parliament ap
proached the record of 13.000,000
words, attained by the late special
session of congress?
:o: .
Hindenburg protests that he will
not desert "his old comrade Ltidcn-
dorff." We quite share his feeling
that two such pals should hang to
gether.
People who figure out how a small
income may be made to support a
large family generally know a great
deal more about arithmetic than they
do about human nature.

THE FARMERS' ATTITUDE
The allies owe us $450,000,000 in-
intcrest on the other $10,000,000,-
000 they owe us. but we're not going
to collect even the interest at pres
ent, lor two reasons, first, we re
sorry for them, and second, they
haven't got it.

"We don't want any book-farmer
or fresh young city guy whose socks
match his tie and who has taken a
short course in agriculture to c--mj
and tell us how to farm."
The man who made this speech at
the convention of the Nebraska Farm
Congress in Omaha the other day
stands unnamed. His name is :iot
given out in the chronicling of the
battle of the farmers against some
of the teachers sent out to educate
them. But in a few words he set
forth the position of many members
of our great producing population
with exceptional clearness.
Book-farmers they havt no time
for. It is a little difficult for a Ne
braska farmer of the type tha. has
had his shoulder to the wheel of pro
duction since the childhood days of
the state and to whom is due the
credit of boosting that state well up
toward the pinnacle of agricultural
supremacy to understand how it is
any of our business colleges into the
offices of the Brandeis stores with
the intent to install newer policies
of business administration. If bank
ers and business men and doctors
and lawyers who have established
their reputation and attained their
proficiency were to be suddenly in
formed that berueaus composed of
young graduates iu their businesse
and professions were to be establish
ed by a commiserating public who
wished to lift them out of their piti
ful status, there is some reason to
suspect that the bureau might re
ceive a treatment which would not
quite be described as courteous
The farmer is the best of citizens.
He has a keen realization of the sim
pie but very pertinent philosophy
that "He who will not work may not
eat," and he is practically carrying
out his theory as best he can. He
doesn't attempt to tell the banker
how to bank, the merchant how to
buy or sell, the lawyer how to plead
or the doctor how to cure. He doesn't
do this because he is big enough to
realize that he doesn't know how to
do it. The mark of a really big man
is h.is ability to confine his teachings
to his own line.
We wish the farmer well. We
hope that his example of staying in
the production game may be imi
tated by other classes. While socie
ty may teach the farmer something,
the farmer. has something to teach
society as well.
And with all this, said by way of
explanation of the farmer's frame of
mind, and in justice to his most an
cient and honorable calling, the fact
remains that science has much te

too busy to learn. It is just as desir

lawyer, the engineer, the merchant.
to keep abreast of the times, and par
ticularly to be informed of the dis
coveries and improvement that will
help him to save labor, eliminate

for doing this have not, heretofore

The Best Cough Medicine
When a druggist finds that his
customers all speak well of a certain
preparation, he forms a good opin
ion of it and when in need of such
a medicine is almost certain to use
it himself and in his family. This
is why so many druggists use and
recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. J. u. Jones, a well known
druggist . of Cubruu. Ky., says. "I
have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy in mv family for the oast, seven

been accustomed to get along very
well by calling manure and bugs.
It is an interesting subject for
conjecture as to just how a young
man, recently graduated from the fi
nance department of any university
would be accepted if he were to enter
the office of any bank president iu
the United States and authoritatively
proceed to advise that dignitary of
ways and means how to better his

a tremendously keen imagination to
conjure up the scene that would fol
