Neb., aa aecoad-claaa mall matter R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE 1920 ushers in national prohibi tion, with liquor, liquor everywhere and not a drop to drink. :o: 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. :o: The motto of the reds: No peace on earth. Good will to none. :o: The once vociferous dollar is now a poor shinking little thing. :o: 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. :o: It is perfectly all right to turn over a new leaf, but it is well to re member the lesson of the one before :o: Life for a magazine reader these days, observes K. B. G.. is Just one darned "Continued on Dasre 110" af ter another. :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. :o: 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. . : O V ; ictor Berger's election to con gress is to be contested by his oppon ent. Woulun t it be a better recog nition of Milwaukee's peculiar claim to distinction to just let the seat re main empty like Milwaukee's Americanism? :o: References to the mean average temperature of December in weather bureau's review will not be under stood. The temperature undoubtedly was mean but the general impres sion is it was not average for De cember. :o: r Nicolai Lenine has said that in ev ery grouu of 100 so-called bolshc viki there are one real bolshevik. o! criminals and 60 fools. Thus the conservative criminals, who would naturally be inclined to let the world roll along peacefully, find them selves blocked by a majority of sixty- one. . ;o: Fifteen presidents, more thau half of the list, served in war: George Washington, revolutionary; James Monroe, revolutionary; Andrew Jack son, revolutionary and 1812; Frank lin Pierce, Mexican; William Henry Harrison, 1812; John Tyler, 1812; Zachery Taylor, 1S12 and Mexican; Abraham Lincoln, Blackhawk; An drew Johnson, civil; U.

"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 teach the farmer; much to tell him. greatly to his profit, that he has been too busy to learn. It is just as desir able for him as for the physician, the 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 waste, combat the agencies of de struction, and become a more effi cient craftsman. His opportunities for doing this have not, heretofore been of the best. But they have been, and are, rapidly improving, and it is due to such institutions .is the University of Nebraska, for ex ample, to say that they have been among the instruments of his prog ress. State universities should lie. They are supported largely by the farmers' money and if they can af ford him a direct as well as an indi rect return for the taxes he pays the more truly they fulfill their minion The farmer relishes of liciousne.is and bumptiousness no more than the rest of us. He properly resents lin ing talked down to. But he will not resent, approached in the right way and the right spirit, any more tlwin any other sane man would recent, be ing competently advised how to do better work with the same effert and make more money.

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 banking methods. It dos not take a tremendously keen imagination to conjure up the scene that would fol low the entrance of a graduate of MYNARD, NEJBR. Poultry Wanted!
