' :o: Pretty girls aa a rule haven't bet ter taste than others! It's Just easier for them to look stylish. ;o: - Not Ions ago an eruption on the rim of the sun threw up material to a height of 500,000 miles. :o: The Atchison Globe says we'd all be rich if it were as easy to save money as he banks say it is. :o: Trices are coming down, but the 5.-cent nickel is still too timid to venture out without a strong escort. :o:- A rural teacher told the Journal t.he believes in the maxim, "Spare the rod and spoil the child," and keeps both handy. :o: Speech was given man to conceal his thoughts, said an old philosopher. for the great surplus. :o: Just what made the citizens of Cork attack their city hall is not' known, but it sounds as though it might be something about politics. :o: "Cork, the most Irish city in Ire land." says a headline. It happens to be just now, but Londonderry and Belfast are not competing. o: o Just as prices start downward it is feared that some people will expect too much. Maybe we will be back to pre-war prices before long. :o: Man o' War won the thoroughbred track championship of all America at Windsor thus giving the final knockout blow to pacifism. - : o: A coal dealer has been arrested and charged with : profiteering in New York. Perhaps his best defense would be "why pick me out?" o:o As a rule when your wife has something she wants to talk to you about, she wants to talk to yon about something she doesn't have. :o: A half of a million dollars for the relief of famine sufferers in the Pe kin. China, district has been appro priated by the American Red Cross. :o: Let us hope Georges . Carpentier doesn't get many more suob. matches between now and the Dempsey en gagement. Ever- trial match he fights only tempts us the more to bet on him. :o: South Africa is making satisfactory experiments and tests with acetel, a petrol substitute. The chief ingredi ents are alcohol from sweet potatoes and acetyline. :o: To Mr. Edison belongs credit, who is trying to make an instrument so delicate and responsive that it may be manipulated by the spirits of the departed. It would indeed be a great accomplishment. o:o Brazil has granted a credit of $25, 000,000 to Italy for the purchase of Brazilian products. Under the agree ment Brazilian vessels will be given preference in the transportation of the commodities purchased to Italy. -:o: : It may be that-an anti-bolshevist revolution is brewing in Russia. But probably the world will decline to indorse any more revolutions in Rus sia until it finds out what they are for as well as what they are against. to: "Eyes of the world on prohibition in America." And Pussyfoot John son probably would tell you that the attitude is not wholly apathetic, the inference being that prohibition in America is where they prefer to con tinue watching it. :o: Mayor MacSwiney's hunger strike having lasted over sixty days, he and the British government both seem to be vindicated. The mayor has had his way, and the confidence of the government that he wouldn't die hav ing it is justified. :o: A correspondent suggested one way of celebrating the Pilgrims to get together and. like their forefathers, take ship and sail away from profi teering, labor troubles, rent raising.

And now Lillian Russell is preach ing Candidate Hardings doctrine of "splendid isolation," Shame on you, Lil. You've married men of almost every nation. - :c: If China has really gone back to a monarchy it must be said, in jus tice to the republics of the world, that there was rery little evidence that she ever had been away. , :o: President Obregon of-Mexico, says that be is not in favor of drastic prohibition. Any kind of prohibi tion is drastic. It's just dying there isn't any easy way. o:o Those Britishers needn't glorify their sportsmanship on the fact that they are betting on Mayor MacSwin ey's longevity, for they haven't a thing on American sportsman. A good many Americans even bet on this year's world series. :o: By paying $40 a day for an apart ment in Chicago, Ethel Barrymore finds that she is saving $110 a day over the amount It cost her to live in a Chicago hotel. Well, that is one way to save money. Another way is to stay away from Chicago. :o: There is a rumor, that a mon archist group has made a coup in China, and maybe before long China will be ruled again by a king. This is especially interesting to all of us confused folks who never were sure whether a king was enthroned or de posed in the last coup. :o: Mr. Bryan wants to do humanity a supreme service by giving Europe a receipt in full for the 10 billion dol lars it owes us. This offer of Mr. Bryan's doubtless surpasses the pa triotism of Artemus Ward, who mere ly offered to sacrifice his wife's rel atives for his country. :o: Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emiritus of Harvard, characterized by at least one representative Amer ican newspaper as "the grand old man of the republic," is an outspoken supporter of Governor Cox. The great educator is not, to say the least, known as a partisan democrat, :o: When wheat came down a dollar or so. baker's bread didn't. Although there was a baker in Chicago or some such remote clime who announced that, his loaf hereafter would weigh an ounce, more, which, as any bride knows, might indicate more flour, but not necessarily more nutriment. :o: A man named Stanley Obolewicz has confessed to the Detroit police that four men offered him $20,000 to blow up the home of the mayor of that city with dynamite. When .four men start out to find a man to do that kind of job they usually pick one who spells his name in some such form as Obolewicz. '. ;o: When we are solicited for funds in behalf of foreign missions, we enjoy reminding the solicitor that all char ity and reform should begin closer around home. Then if the missionary takes us at our word and begins try ing to reform us we buy him off with a contribution and send him to the other side of the earth. ":o: A Chicago landlord told a tenant that he would re-lease an apartment to him if the tenant would reduce the number of children in his fam ily. If the tenant had been a cruel man without conscience, he would have reported that the landlord should reduce the number of his ten ants. But he spared the landlord's feelings, and took the case to tourt,' where he, of course, got no relief. :o: As the editorial department point ed out yesterday, it is well to remem ber Edmund Burke's statement right after the White Sox scandal that "there is no process by which the whole of baseball may be indicted." However, we find another member of then illustrious Burke family, Mr. Thomas Burke, who has no hesi tancy in indicting the whole of the moving picture industry. 9 Nebraska taxes and gr&maphones. well but whither? D. A. R. HAVE PLEASANT TIME LAST NIGHT GATHER AT HOME OF MRS. E". H. WESC0TT AND ENJOY VERY PROFITABLE MEETING From Tuesday's Daily. . Last evening the members of Fon tenelle chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, enjoyed a most delightful session at the home of Mrs. E. H. Wescott on high school hill, and one in which the member ship found a great deal of pleasure as well as profit in the interesting facts of history that were discussed. The subject of study for the chapter for the" winter season is that of "Noted Persons in History" and the topic ofghe evening was that of "George Washington.' as the first of the great figures of American history. Miss Bernese Newell had a very interesting paper covering the life and character of the great general and first president of the American republic and one that was thorough ly enjoyed by everyone. Mrs. Earl A. St an field also gave a review of the D. A. R. magazine, the official publication of the society of the de scendants of the early residents of the republic. As guests of honor of the evening the ladies of Fontenelle chapter had with them Mrs. J. B. Martin and daughter, Miss Edith, and the latter gave a very interesting account of her visit in New England during theJ past summer and a few points on the history of the early settlement of that band of pilgrims on the rocky coast of the New England states. Miss Martin had spent some time at Plymouth,. Massachussets, the land ing place of the pilgrims and while there had a splendid opportunity of studying the early history and view ing the scenes of activities of the pilgrims. She told of the colonial homes which are there and many of which are filled with the relics of the first settlers and personal effects of those who came to this country as a party of pilgrims on the Mayflower. In her remarks Miss Martin tojd of the witchcraft period in colonial history and of the traces that can still be seen of the period in the architecture1 and finishing of the homes which iear signs supposed to frighten away the supposed witches from the var ious hearthstones. Many pictures were shown by Miss Martin of the homes at Plymouth as well as the reproduction of a piece of tapestry which had been used in furnishing one ol the pilgrim homes which the pioneer had prepared for his bride from old England. The celebration of the 300th an niversary of the landing of the Pil grims that is being observed over the United States and England was brought to the mind of the ladies by ihe announcement of the fact that in the spring a boat modeled on that of the original Mayflower, and peo pled by residents of Boston, England, will sail for this country and land it Cape Cod, where the vessel bear ing the hardy pioneers first made their landing. At the conclusion of the interest ing discussion and outline of the early history of the country, the la lies were treated to a very enjoyable luncheon served by the hostess and which brought to a close the most pleasant evening.

Plain as day, on the back of the package, it says: "In Spur Cigarettes the good to baccos from the Orient are properly mixed with Burley and other home-grown tobaccos." In your language that means "good old-time to bacco taste." Haven't you just been hankering for it? Those good tobaccos are rolled in satiny, imported paper and crimped, not pasted. That's something to know, too. In smoker's talk, crimping means "easier drawing, slower burning, better taste." Ex amine a Spur and sec how it's made. And as the finishing touch, Spur's fragrance and freshness are sealed and delivered in a three-fold package rich brown and silver. Hop off the fence and land on Spurs. 4 Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.
