rigibles. :o:
The first time you catch a severe
cold sleeping by the open window
where you have slept all summer

Calling a man a liar is the last

has found you out.
- o-
Come now, be honest about it?
Does your wife know any more
about politics than she did before
she was enfranchised?

If you forget to take your medi

sick you are nine-tenths well.
:o: .
Earnest welfare workers are still
after the adnoids and tonsils of
school children. Some day, perhaps,
this may be a snoreless world.

They give Gen. Pershing a glad

The senate has decided to put the

sent session. On a high shelf, we
suppose.

all of our corn crop into pork and

the administration peace treaties,
which will establish peace with ev
erybody except Senator Borah.

A Pittsburg man- has been found

Vice-president Coolidge says the
country i3 rapidly getting back to a

LOCALJIECTS
From Thursday's Dally.
D. C. West, the Nehawka banker,
was in the city for a short time yes
terday afternoon- attending to some
matters of business.
Bals Meisinger and Adolph Wesch
were among those going to Omaha
this afternoon to enjoy a few hours
visit there with friends.
Paul H. Roberts, of Cedar Creek,
were among the visitors in the city
today for a few hours, attending to
some matters of Importance.
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Comer of Un
ion and Mr. and Mrs. George W.
Comer of that place motored in to
day from their home and spent a
short time here looking after some
matters of business and while here
were callers at the Journal office for
a short visit and renewing their sub
scription. . Mrs. E. C. Hill of Beemer, Nebr.,
came down yesterday for a short vis
it here with old time friends in this
city and vicinity. Mrs. Hill was call
ed to Omaha by the illness of her
6ister, Mrs. Bass, who was operated
on there for the removal of her ton
sils and after the operation Mrs. Hill
came on down to the old home for
a short visit.
-:o:-
One reason why they don't admit
Jews to membership in the Ku Klux
Klan 1s that the robes worn by mem
bers cost 6.50. If our Hebrew
friends were admitted they would
soon be selling the regular regalia
at $2.49.
:o:
Somehow the war seems to have
robbed people of the capacity to re
act with enthusiasm to" any' great
event. Even Babe Ruth's smashing
of the home run record brought
nothing more than a bored yawn
from the public.
:o:
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Briand will not attend the disarma
ment conference. Both being poli
ticians, they recall the jealousies
arounsed by Woodrow Wilson when
he went away from home on a di
plomatic mission.
:o:
Under the riot law, effective in
Belfast, three persons consitute an
unlawful assemblage. One can see
how a law like that would be a
considerable handicap to debate, but
we suppose it would be impractica
ble to try it on a legislative assem
bly. :o:
"How many teeth has a normal
being?" asks the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Well, if he's adult, and
really normal, he has about fifteen,
most of which he vows to have ex
tracted and replaced with a plate
next time he finds courage to go to
the dentist.
:o:
Build your own home. A Michi
gan man, excavating toward a new
house, dug up four bottles of old
California wine. Of course, he had
planned only a modest dwelling.
Those who plan more pretentious
houses, of course, stand to dig up
imported wine.
:o:
Lowell Sherman, the motion act
or, found in New York, who is want
ed as a witness in the Arbuckle
case, affirms that he was (not run
ning away from his duty. But was
merely seeking to avoid publicity.
That is too thin. There never was
an actor or actress in the history of
the world who desired to avoid pub
licity. :o: :

ONE QUALITY
One Size Package
All' our skill, facilities, and lifelong knowledge of the
finest tobaccos are concentrated on this one cigarette
CAMEL.
Into this ONE BRAND, we put the utmost quality.
Nothing is too. good for Camels. They are as good as it's
possible to make a cigarette.
Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the same high,
exclusive standard. You can always depend on the same
mellow-mild refreshing smoothness the taste and rich
flavor of choicest tobaccos and entire freedom from
cigaretty aftertaste.
And remember this! Camels come in one size package
only 20 cigarettes just the right size to make the greatest
saving in production and packing. This saving goes
straight into Camel Quality. That's one reason why you
can get Camel Quality at so moderate a price.
Here's another. We put no useless
frills on the Camel package. No "extra
wrappers!" Nothing just for show!
Such things do not improve the smokes
any more than premiums or coupons. And
their added cost must go onto the price
or come out of the quality.
One thing, and only one, is responsible
for Camels great and growing popularity
that is CAMF.T. OTT AT.TTV

NOTICE TO POLICY HOLDERS
At a meeting of the Board of Di
rectors of the Platte Mutual Insur
ance company last evening, a new
business policy was adopted, where
by in the future the amount of any
one risk shall not exceed $1,500, and
in the business district not closer
than every other place of business.
Under those conditions it was con
sidered that Mutual insurance can
prosper and give good protection
without making assessments. The
Platte Mutual has been writing in
surance in this city for the past
twenty-five years and during all that
time had only one assessment, not
withstanding the rate for insurance
was about half that of the Old Line
companies, hence the patrons of the
local company have saved largely on
cost of their insurance.
It is a home company and all the
money paid for insurance is kept at
home and deserves the patronage of
everyone who is interested in seeing
the company prosper. Boost.
