So he got a drink At the sink. :o: Men's watches are larger than wo men's because their owners are more prone to hare big times. :o: Too many people, especially pro fessional spenders of dollars, do not know the difference between effi ciency and speed. :o: Secretary Daniels has informed the house naval committee that the al ternative to the League of Nations Ms a larger navy. That will be ad mitted. :o; The report that 8 million Bolshe vik! have elft the farm to join tl:e army indicates th'at the weather Is beginning to get right in that coun try for early plowing. :o: It has just about gotten so in this country than a man thinks he has a liberal education If he can tell one automobile from another without looking at the radiator. :o: The ex-kaiser's new estate at Doom contains two hundred acres. The reason he made war on the world, it will be remembered, was because Germany was too cramped. -:o:- From the 'description of the new upring suits, with tight trousers and hourglass coats, we don't see where there's going to be any place for a medium built plug citizen to carry his self-respect. :o: Take your pencil .and figure out the economic good accruing to so ciety from an oil well when the far mer on whose farm the well is locat ed immediately retires to live on his oil income and lets the farm grow up in weeds. :o: The smallest newspaper in the world is Better Times, a settlement house paper published in New York, on pages 4x5 inches. Perhaps a lot of other papers will be printing pages that small before better times will come to users of print paper. -:o:- New York has spent 23 million dollars shoveling snow this winter and still has six hundred miles of streets uncleaned. It almost seems worth considering whether It wouldn't be cheaper to move New York to a milder climate. :o: It is true that Americans act sometimes very much like a nation of spendthrifts, as Secretary Mere dith says. But it is probable that the people have more to show for their money they've scattered by themselves in the last five ears than the government has for its sol emnly deliberated investments. :o: . "Envoy" Martens, the Russian So viet emissary, has the merits of frankness, at least. He told the sen ate committee that he was earnest ly in favor of such a revolution as .would overturn the government and make the control of the country pass Into the-hands" of a dictator repre senting a minority which would de stroy the control of "capitalists". :o: A POLITICAL CHANCE West Virginia, a republican state, threw the suffragists down at a crisis In . the battle. Its senate re jects the suffrage amendment, giving West Virginia the pre-eminence of being the only state outside the cot ton belt, save Maryland, to put ob- stacles In the way of the inevitable This leaves an interesting political situation. The rival national party a managers have been working hard to escape, each party for itself, the ap pearance of being responsible for blocking the hope of the women to participate fully in this year's elec tion. President Wilson won a point when his telegram brought favorable action in Oklahoma. Chairman Hays made even when he secured a prom ise from the governor of Washington to call a special session if that be came necessary to complete ratifica tion. With Washington promised, two states are yet to get. The party which furnishes them will be able to claim the special gratitude of the women. Which, if either, will turn the trick? Mr. Hays has Connecticut, Dela ware and Vermont to draw upon. Kc was reported making a personal visit to Delaware the other day in. an ef fort to pull that little state into line. In Connecticut and Vermont he has anti-suffrage republican governors to cope with. Chairman Cummings of the demo crats has Florida, Tennessee-, North Carolina, South Carolina and Louis iana to work on. Florida and Ten nessee are supposed to be the only ones of these where the amendment will have a ghost of a show. And the chance is slight there for the present year. The hand favors Mr. Hays. If he produces the remaining three ratifi cations, including Washington, he will have the democrats in the hole as far as suffrage is concerned. But the opposition has stiffened greatly in recent weeks. Mr. Hays may fail. It would not be strange if the liquor campaign now getting un der way had something to do with this. For lack of two and maybe only one state the women of the non- suffrage states stand too strong a chance to wait till 1922 for their po litical christening. State Journal. -:o:- LOOELNG TO THE FUTURE The recent purchase by the Ma sonic lodge of the Fricke corner at Sixth and Vine streets brings to partial realization a dream that has been cherished for many years in the minds of many of the more aged Ma sonic brethren of Plattsmouth, naroo- Iy the erection of a Masonic temple in keeping with the size of the order and advance of the present day. This vision promises to be ful filled at a not far distant date and Plattsmouth will have cause to feel proud of the commodious building that will rise up to stand as a mon ument to the various Masonic crafts of the city the Blue Lodge, the Eastern Star, the Royal Arch Chap ter and the Knights Templar. Other towns of no greater size than Plattsmouth have commodious Masonic temples but Plattsmouth will have one the equal of those in towns much larger than this, if our prediction bears true, as we trust it will in the next few years. -:o: DON'T BE LAZY A man may be a born genuis, but if he will not exert himself he can achieve little. Laziness is fatal to success. . History claims few Instances where sluggards have risen to the top. . All worth while results are ach ieved by effort, usually by painstak ing, persistent, unsparing effort. The lazy person lets things slide And when things are left to slide. they slide downhill. Laziness Is a quality inherent 'in human nature. Ignorance usually is a consequence of laziness. And ignorance leads, not to suc cess, but to failure. Mental laziness is more common perhaps than physical lazfness. It is not "hard to go on doing things which require no mental ex ertion and little bodily effort. But hard, earnest, sustained men tal comfort is beyond the sluggard. Laziness acts on one as a drug. It tightens its grip upon one si lently, stealthily, but, in course of time, fatally. It can always find excuses for it self. Poverty is one of the commonest fruits of laziness. The path of laziness is the straightest of all paths to want and woe. ? To combat it, cultivate a healthy body and a sound mind, and once you doygedly try you will be sur prised how much more fun there is In doing things than in doing noth ing. Forbes Magazine. :o: ADMIRAL SIMS' EXPLANATIONS The written statement read . by Rear Admiral Sims at the opening of the senate committee's Inquiry into his charges against the navy depart ment amounts almost to a retraction. It is mild, reserved, moderate and modified, compared with . the lan guage in which his criticisms wero originaly uttered. It- reads more Ike an. apology than a renewal of the charges. The admiral reveals frankly a keen sensitiveness to the comnif.it that his criticisms evoked. One con- ectures that he saw the cartoon rep resenting himself as shooting th record of the United States navy in the war full ot holes, with the ex pressive and condemnatory under ine: "Something that the enemy was unable to do." If not that car toon, others of similar tenor. I am at the end of my career and have nothing to gain and all to lose," said the admiral. lie might, with advantage, have thought of that a few months ago. He now r wants to make it plain that he was', . . - . ... .. .f. -;.- .ily . came-herer In : the, early fifties not "tnrowing mud at tne navy that he raises "no question of the navy's performance in the wear. viewed in its entirety", that he is unable to adequately express his ad- j miration ror tnis performance, ana . that his criticisms "had nothing to . do .with the magnificent way the ! navy iuucuuucu iu izio, oiici it really got Into the war." It is unfortunate that the admiral was not careful to make these reser- vatlons when he first astonished the country with the charge that the American navy failed to co-operate with the allies during the first six months of the war, allowing the people to infer that when the truth should be told it would reveal an aw ful story of friction between our navy department and the allies, or a gross Incompetency or stupidity in those high officers directing the movements of the American battle squadrons in the peril of the U-boat operations by the enemy and In the face of awful risk to our loaded troop transports in the eastern At lantic. The admiral says that the navy was not properly prepared in April, 1917, when war was declared. He says It should have been, i nerc might be honest difference of opin ion on that point, since to have had the navy properly prepared at that time would Imply not alone,the con- templation of war, but the intent of war by the United States six months or a yeaf preceding the actual de claration of war., But when we went in, and for six months thereafter, the admiral declares such naval forces as were prepared and available were not used as they should have been, and here we arrive at the residum of all the admiral's alarming fulmin ations on the subject a question of naval strategy, regarding which the complaining admiral was" not always in accord with the secretary of the navy. This question might,, indeed, be the basis for'.legitimate criticism,, but not criticism' wUh the implica tons that the admiral allowed to lie in his. The admiral tells us of, the WHEN NEURALGIA ATTACKS NERVES ' - Sloans Liniment scatters the congestion and relieves pain A little, applied without rubbing, will Penetrate immediately and rest and ( soothe the nerves. . . Sloan's Liniment is very effective in allaying external pains, strains, bruises, aches, stifi; joints, sore muscles, lumba go, neuritis, sciatica, rheumatic twinges.

Druggists everywhere. 35c, 70c. $1.40. repeated, recommendations that he made to the navy department, but the department was getting constant advice from naval experts, which we may presume was as competent as that offered by Admfral Sims, and ordered accordingly. "And the "mag nificent way" in which Admiral Sims says the navy functioned for the greater part of the war is strong presumptive evidence 'that the de partment was . competent from the . beginning. So the admiral's "charges" are re solved into mere disputed opinion which probably a convention of all the most eminent naval strategists in the world could not settle with unanimity. World Herald.

SHOWS SOME IMPROVEMENT Horace Scott, who was quite se verely burned a few days ago at his work at the Pollock garage, is now showing some "Improvement and is able to rest easier than for several days. The .burns on his hands and arms are not paining him so se verely and iis face is gradually re covering from the effects of the burns. The accident was caused by the sudden explosion of a furnace at which he was working and for a few days his condition was considered quite serious, but it is hoped now that he will recover . without any permanent injuries as the result of the accident.
