WHEN ordinary posts are used it takes many days and some- '
times many ww.Ls to build fencej. Many farmers have
been neglecting to m?k necessary fencing improvements
because of the time and expense connected with getting the posts set.
And Time is figured a mighty big expense by progressive Farmers.
It only takes a few hours to set a line of Apex Steel Posts they
are driven into place wirh a few stroke of the sledge as you

Apex Posts are Real Economy

Mr. Chamberlayne of New York,
who spoke at the court house Tues
day night made one of the moet in
teresting talks we ever heard in
Plattsmouth, and we are sorry that
there were not many more present to
hear him. Mr. Chamberlayrue is an
exceedingly cleaver gentlemen, a fine

as ovarfiow audience present to have
heard his explanation of the league
of nations.

Mary Pickford is growing foolish,

"Now is the time for all good men

UNNECESSARIES OF LIFE
People are always talking about
the trouble they experience in ac
quiring the necessaries of life, but,
as a matter of fact, nine-tenths of
the world's troubles are caused by
trying to take care of the unneces
saries of life. Perhaps if we try
ridding ourselves of some of the un
necessary things we should find our
selves coming into the necessary and
desirable things without further ef
fort. There is one's time, for example.
Time is money, we are told, yet we
spend this valuable medium of ex
change for stuff that cheats every
party to the transaction. Each of us
reads a great deal of rubbish, that ho
knows to be rubbish, not because he
enjoys it, but because he feels that
he is expected to talk rubbish to the
people for whose conversation he
spends additional valuable time. So
all of us are trading to the general
disadvantage, whereas, there is good
literary coin. or. ever better good
original thought we might trade In
if we only would.
We are too complaisant toward
the demands of the petty and trival.
thereby denying ourselves and our
world the better things. We are
loaded "P with excess baggage and
toil painfully up the slopes under
the burden of junk, whereas we
might fly if we would rid ourselves
of the unnecessary load.
If some among us would start the
fashion of discarding each day a few
of the un necessaries, society would
quickly be blessed. Therefore, while
we are about it. let us "highly re
solve" this day to take stock of time
and things and duties and eliminate
such specimens as are burdensome
and serve no useful, no interesting or
improving purpose.
We should not. at once, apply this
to persons. Automatic widows or
dfscontented husbands must find, in
this philosophy warrant for making
way with their spouses. But after
we have rid ourselves of the multi
tude of unnecessary things and so
called "duties", we. shall have'mare
time and opportunity to enjoy' peo
