"The Zelnicker Ever-Tyte
Piston Rings have been tested
on a biock dynameter and on
the road for 2000 miles in a
Ford car and have proved satis
factory in every respect. I
recommend them very highly
to the trade in general."
H. VV. Almquist, Automotive
Engineer, Thos. A. Kdison, Inc.
The remarkable standing of the
Zelnicker Ever-Tyte Ring among
mechanical engineers is due to
its eight ycerc record in every
. type and size of engine under
every conceivable condition.
Engineers recognize it as the
only ring whose construction
has made practical the use of
"three point expansion.'

F. J. Ilennings and wife motored
in this morning from their farm home
to look after a few matters of busi
ness in the city.
James M. Teegardan and Troy L.
Davis motored over this morning
from Weeping Water and visited here
for a few hours attending to some
business matters.
Louis Leiner was among those go
ing to Omaha this afternoon to visit
for a few hours looking after some
matters of business.
Andrew Schmader of Louisville,
was in the city yesterday for a few
hours visiting with his friends. Andy
is preparing for another boxing
match on the 14th, when he will
meet Bob Roper or Johnnie Suden
berg at Omaha and the Cass county
boy is confident of being able to
handle either of these boxers.
Harmony does not seem
dominate in either party.

Ceremony was invented by a wise
man to keep fools at a distance.
:o:
Take care of your pennies and let
the profiteers take care of themselves.
-:o:
The more shiftless a man is the
more he shifts from one job to an
other. -:o:
Nebraska produces more farm
wealth per capita per year than any
other state.
:o:-
The petrolium production of this
country last year amounted to 356,
000,000 barrels.

The Chinese are said to have some
fruit far superior to anything on
this, side of the globo.
:o:
It is hard to tell who will carry in
Ohio Cox or Harding. But it is
no doubt a republican state.
:o:
The country will not go to the
bow wows under either Harding or
Cox. Both are true Americans.
:o:
Cox has been elected governor of
Ohio three times, but, in a presi
dential election it is very doubtful.
:o:
This is a free country, thank God,
and no one is deprived of his liberty
when they become American citi
zens. :o:
Mothers-in-law, don't seem so ob
jectionable since high rents freed
many young couples to live with the
old folks.
:o:
Unless a man cai see a slight im
provement in himself it's impossible
to convince him that the world is
growing better.
:o:
"Girls are prouder of their skins
than their ears," Siys an exchange.
Yes, and if they wculd uncover their
ears they would hear a lot that is
being said about tteir skins.
:o
The Germans dm't like Wilson,
and Cox's endorsement of the presi
dent will drive a freat many to the
support of Hardin?. But Cox could
not do otherwise than endorse the
president defeat r no defeat.

A man has asket for a divorce from
his wife who slapjed him because he
refused to eat her pie. The divorca
is the result, pnbably, of his manli
ness in not stricing back with her
standing ther, molding the pie.
:o:
JImmie Cox has demonstrated to
the noplft that he is a great cam
paigner, an- If he is not elocted it
will not be his fault. Defeat is no
dishonor to anjone who has worked
as hard as Mr. Cox. It is better to
be right and honest with his people
than to be president.
:o:
Seems that the red agitators who
were shipped back to Russia! from
this country in the "soviet arch"
were given the choice by the bjlshe
vik authorities of going to wok or
to prison. What an awful dilemma
to present to the reds, who naturally
hate prison with a fierce inteifcity.
but who hate work still more

dent says: "My conception of liier

to be sure; but because a few cralky
people insist on their right to tli Vik

The slump in sugar and coffee i

the wind blows. The people o
America have been ridden by higl
prices for the past three years, but
the signs of the times point to th
fact that the break is about due, ami
it may be expected that other foot!
commodities will shortly tollow.
The prudent merchant is buyin
very cautiously. Big stocks are not
being laid in as is the usual custou
at the beginning of every fall anc
the reason is obvious. The merchant
doesn't want to be caught with ;
high priced stock on his hands iij
low price times.

Prices are nearer normal and industj

The speculators in Europe did n
have the chance to oppress the re
Die there like they did here, for tl
very simple reason that the peep
there did not have the money to p
the exorbitant prices asked on th
side, and to sell their wares tit
European dealer had to come dow
to a more common sense plan.
While the indications point
lower prices, we need not to expe
to see anv radical tumble. Kaw m
terial is lower now than it has be
for some time and it will continue
fair for some time to come, but t
finished product was manufactui
from high price dmaterial and who
salers will not lower their prices
any appreciable extent until this
off their hands. It is about time I
the new sugar and coffee crop to

be expected as products from itw
crops make their appearance.

perhaps it's because you are not in

Neither does anybody else.

Republican candidates for state of
ficers defeated in the recent Minneso
ta primaries, have filed notice that
they will run anyway, such a little
thing as party indorsement not de
terring them in the least.
:o:
Great crowds greeted Governor
Cox at everyone of his eleven speech
es in Nebraska. He is a stemwinder
when it comes to campaigning as is
evidenced from the fact that he lias
pulled Senator Harding from his
front porch in Marion.
What's become of the fellow who
used to prove the Bible isn't so by
declaring nobody could fast forty

Wisconsin will lose about $2,000,

Poland has made an appeal to the
United States for soap. Good idea!
One of the quickest cures for a bol

Will somebody please explain why
a wage increase of 50 cents per ton
for the coal miners means an increase
.of $5 per ton to the consumer?
