Nearly 10,000 American farmers have purchased 3.000,000 Canadian acres thLs summer. They ore transplanting their food producing energies to Canada, to the Dominion's profit, and to Uncle Sam's loss. They are going largely because of their inability to make a profit grow ing foo-.l upon high-cost acres of the United States. L.and in Canada- Is cheap, and the time is coming when it won't be cheap. Acreage will cost as much there as here. And then what are the farmers going to do? Yht re is he going? The rest of the world, excepting Siberia and the Sahara, already is crowded. ilaybe by that time he will have learned the secret of over-crowded Dane, Holland and Belgian. He will J try to grow food in a smaller acre. I Me will make two places grow where 'but one has grown. He will harvest more bushels to the acre. The wier of the agriculturists al ready are doing that. They find it more profitable and more comfortable than selling out and settling in a colder clime. -:o: (;ver:iT Cox's friends are pro-du-i:ig ilit- proof of his charge every day. and tl.f "get the money boys" are f ur;:f: hing some of the proof.

Hut the proposal, is aside from this consideration, decidedly ridiculous. ALMOST PERSUADED The Journal is almost persuaded that the democratic party should deal leniantly with Senator Keed of Mis souri for deserting in the face of the enemy during the last session of con gress, for the good he is doing now. As a member of the senate com- I1 mittee investigating campaign ex penditures, he is holding the feet of the republicans to the fire and toast ing tht-Ti to a turn. His slogan seems to lx "let no guilty republican es cape," and the way he goes after his republican colleague. Senator Spencer, who is also a member of the committee, is real refreshing. Tuesday, disgusted with Spencer's "bully-ragginp" of a representative of Governor .ox, who was on the witness stand, he called him down good and hard, and when Chairman Kenyon complained that he "could not keep peace in Missouri." Reed hotly replied. "I don't want peace; I am preparing for war," and imme diately began to peel a few more strips of skin from Spencer's corru gated hie. Reed sinned greviously when he went back on a democratic adminis tration, but his punishment was also severe when he was unceremonious ly kicked out of the national con vention at San Francisco, but now that he has shown a disposition to "turn from sin a-nd seek for.iveuess," i. : 1. . i rnnn.:UAn . m: iuiiiit vr? iui kitcii a ii u i a rrrii uai;n. into the ran'.cs of the party, at least in a private capacity. Jim Keed was always our friend while we lived in Missouri, and we regarded him as one of the ablest. if not the very ablest man in the state. Every one has a right to his opinion, and maybe he has not sinned so much as some people think. Sen ator Reed has always been a brave exponsent of democratic principles. and is now fighting for Governor Cox for the presidency. o:o EGYPT better Mi O M E women have learned that there are two ways to cre for clothes. They are learning1; to take care of them. It is quite amannerly .hingto take care of your clothes investraeut and protect it up to the limit. Having your clothes carefully dry cleaned will improve their wear and help to prolong the life of their stylish lines.

Goods Called for and Delivered mmon Ifob OPPOSITE JOURNAL OFFICE Pharoah of the Exodus is long gone to bis punishment. We wish only good to his descendants. The news, now confirmed, that Egypt is again to be free will be received with satisfaction wherever free men live. Great Britain has added something to the morals of the world by keeping its word with Egypt. Americans hay have the satis faction of knowing that they fur nished not only a precedent but a pressure of this action. The treaty of Egyptian independence is to have for a model our own agreement with Cuba. The settlement is reached at this time partly because of public opinion in America. America had the hono-. by the way, of furnishing the Egyptians their attorneys. Ev erything has to have an attorney. now, ana tgypt employed Joseph Folk to try its suit for independence. The case was tried largely in the American senate. There the plight of Egypt was used to show the de pravity of the Versailles treaty and especially the imperalistic baseness of Great Britain. The discussion in the senate brought matters to a pass where Secretary Lansing found it expedient to write a letter to Senator Owen saying that the United States government recognized the British protectorate over Egypt only under the terms of the protectorate as an nounced ty England at the time of its assumption. Turkey had gone into the war against the allies and was moving to attack Egypt. For the better prose cution of the defense of England, as the British believed or said, a British protectorate over Egypt was pro claimed. But it was with the assur ance that the protectorate would end when the occasion for it has passed. Usually nations forget all about such pledges when redemption time comes. The Egyptians did not let the British forget in this case and the British did not seem to want to forget. The conference at London with the Eeyn- , tian representatives was suggested, it i appears, by the British themselves. jThe understanding at Washington is tnat tne agreement includes such provisions as these: Great Britain agrees to recognize the Independence and full sovereign status of Egypt. The Suez canal is, without objec tion, to remain subject to British control. A treaty drawn on the lines of our Cuban treaty will afford Egyptian protection from outside interference and will guarantee to her the con duct of her own foreign affairs, with the provision that she will not un dertake any treaties, contrary to Bri tish policy. British troops will be withdrawn except from the canal zone. The matter of the "capitulations" the treaties and conventions which give Europeans in Egypt the right of exemption from local tribunals, so that if a foreigner commits a crime he cannot be arrested by the Egyp tian police or tried by the Egyption law are reserved for subsequent set tlement. The agreement has a wide range of possible effects. On the one hand, it bids fair to be a means of keeping the Mohammedan world from making common cause with bolshe vism. "Bolshevist propaganda." it Is reported, "is seething throughout the near east and it was doubtless the hope of Lenine and Trotzky that Egypt, blistering under her alleged wrongs at the hands of Great Bri tain, would throw in her lot with the Russian proletariat. Fear of th. contingency, or at least recog nition of the salutary effect of re taining the good will of Egypt, un doubtedly had some influence in lead ing Great Britain to recognize her independence at this time." Then what an example to set be fore Japan in Korea and in Shan tung. It is calculated, too. to keep America mindful of the fact that it is pledged, in due and reasonable time, to a similar course with the Philippines. o:o i.i:(iU, .otici: In the District Court of Cass coun ty.

Drawn from actual photograph Hears famous entertainer s compare performance with RE-CREATION! by Edison's new phonograph could not tell the two apart. Messrs. COLLINS and HARLAN, America's popular entertainers, gave an extraordinary recital at the Parmele theatre in this city last Monday night. They walked on the stage and stood beside a stately cabinet. They began to sing "Down in Jungle Land." The audience immediately yield ed to the spell of their beautiful voices. Then sud denly there was a stir a subdued murmur of fir prise and a perplexed rubbing of the eyes. Tne voices continued to fill the theatre with undimin ished sweetness your ears were proof of that but their lips had become absolutely silent your eyes told you that. What wizardy was this? It was the test of direct comparison with the living artist, which Thomas A. Edison has developed to demonstrate that the Official Laboratory Model of his new phonograph will sing any song exactly as it was sung by the artist, and that his Re-Creation of a" singer's voice, as it comes from his wonderful new phonograph, positively cannot be distinguished from the singer's actual voice, when both are heard in direct comparison. Messrs. Collins and Harlan made repeated comparisons both singly and together always with the same result. It was truly wonderful. This master achievement of the great wizard, Edi son, marks a new epoch in history. 6 The Phonograph With a Soul" You can have a duplicate of the wonderful in strument used at the Parmele recital and, if you act quickly, we can furnish you with an engraved certificate (signed by Messrs. Collins and Harlan) certifying that it is an exact duplicate in tonal quality of the instrument they used in their amaz ing comparison; also that it will sustain precisel' the same test. We have a number of the famous Official Labo ratory Models and Messrs. Collins and Harlan have certified every one of them. Come to our store at once and ask to see and hear the Official Labo ratory Models on which Messrs. Collins and Harlan have issued their Certificates of Authenticity. w eyHtcp Plattsmouth, Nebraska T7 T7 H oaoraiosi u 5 u
