In other. words he has given the people of the United States a shake-down for that amount. o:t The growth of the Ku Klux Klanj suggests the thought that all the, churches need 'o make them popular! is a secret initiation and a disguise. . o:o It would be quite appropriate for some of our teachers to inform) school girls that short skirts do not form a short cut to. higher educa tion. :o: Public Mind contributor; points that a consumer only receives so much money, and that the more the landlord gets, the less remains for. the others lying In wait. That ought to awaken the butcher and the coal man and the clotheir to the where abouts of their true enemy. fa. ,"lt don't take a man long to bag his pants at the knees, and to make a finely tailored suit look thoroughly disrepu table rthat's the man of it," avers Dainty Dorthy.

Many have got into the movies through notoriety, so it is time to get a few out th-j same way. :o: The only reason Babe Ruth has not knocked a whole flock of home runs In the world series is that the Giant pitchers won't give him a chance. :o:- A lot of women have purchased new fall hats, but about the onjy difference we can see between a new hat and an old hat is the facial ex pression. :r If it is true that marriages are really made in heaven, then why not charge the cost of the bride's trousseau and the honeymoon trip to the angels? :o: In estimating the number of un employed persons in the United States, the statistical sharps failed to include members of the two hous es of congress. -:o:- If one American dollar will buy one hundred German marks and one German mark will buy six hundred Russian rubles, no wonder food is beyond price In Russia. :o: Here's a new idea for an epitaph: "Here lies Efekial Abner Jones.

By that time, going by present tendencies, atoms probably will be selling for around $24 a ton.

And that is chiefly what's the matter with trade, but congress is too blind to see it. :o: What the European countries seem to want is the disarmament completly in America, while Ger many is secretly preparing for war.

Four mouths course, two hours a d3y. S3 a week. Alma R. Waterman, corner Locust and Sth street. From Saturday's Daily. The state supreme court in tak ing up the matter of the case of the state of Nebraska vs Elmont Preston, appealed from Otoe county, yester day handed down their decision re versing the sentence of one year in the penitentiary which had been giv en Mr. Preston at the trial in Ne braska City. The case, originated in Kearney where the Preston family recided and where the defendant was en gaged in the garage business. The wife returned to her parent's home at Nebraska City and remained there and while there the child of Mr. and Mrs. Preston was born. Later charg es of abandonment cf the wife and child were filed in Otoe county and the young man brought to Nebraska City for trial and after confinment In jail for some time was tried and found guilty. At the trial it was brought out that while Mr. Preston was on a hunting trip the wife pur chased a rug that the husband, on his return, compelled her to send back to the dealer from whom she had purchased it and thereupon she returned to the home of her parents and remained there. The court held in reversing the case that in view of the fact that the wife had gone of her own free will to Nebraska City and remained there instead of at the established home at Kearney that the defendant was not guilty of abandoning the wife or child. Mr. Preston is well known in this county where he made his home for many years at Weeping Water and his friends will be pleased to learn of his accjuital from the charges pre ferred against him. PURCHASE HOME IN THE V7EST A letter to their daughter, Mrs. John Beuschler tells of the purchase of a home at' Orange by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tnlene. which is one well adapted to their needs, having all necessary fruits for home con sumption while ;they also have a ranch of some 20 acres a distance away. They were very fortunate in securing their home in close proxi mity with the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Tulene, who have been making their home there for some time. They also not far away from Whit tier, where Mr. and Mrs. Roll Hamp ton reside, whom it. will be remem bered were engaged in the cleaning business where Mr. Lugsch is now located, This begins' "'to look like another Plattsmouth 'colony in the Golden state. Their many friends here will be well pleaed to know of their se curing so pleasant' a home in the west. Financial Loss Due to Colds It is estimated that the average man loses threj days time each year from inability to work on account cf having a cold,. Much of this los can be avoided by treating every cold as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ha3 won a wide repu tation and immense fcale by its cures of this disease. Try it. You are cer tain to be pleased with its pleasant taste and the prompt relief which it affords. Blank books! Yes you can gel of all kinds. The Journal.

You are required to answer said Gasoiiiie that Vaporizes' in all Weathers It makes little difference what a gallon of gasoline looks like or weighs. Its vaporizing qualities determine its value as a motor fuel. Red Crown Gasoline vaporizes readily in the coldest weather. It is straight-distilled gasoline with a complete chain of boiling point fractions. Even in cold weather you have a quick-starting motor and get big mileage per gallon of gaso line. Red Crown Gasoline meets all U. S. Government Speci fications for motor gasoline. It not only vaporizes readily but it also ignites instantly and burns up completely. It is as dependably uniform as science and modern methods and machinery can make it. Authorized Red Crown Dealers Everywhere Wherever ycu go you can always get Red Crown Gasoline from reliable, competent and obliging dealers. The gasoline and motor oils they tell make motor operation more pleasant, more economical and more dependable. Drive in where you see the Red Crown Sipn.

So when you figure oil costs, add practically all repair and over hauling costs to what you pay for oil. Plenty of oil is important. So is replac ing old oil with fresh oil. But no rnatter how much oil you use or how often you re new it, you can't prevent engine wear and tear unless the oil maintains correct body. Polarine provides a cushioning film that protects against wear and keeps down friction-load In the cylinders Polarine forms a gas-tight and fuel-tight seal that insures full compression and maximum power. Polarine. is made in four grades light, medium heavy, heavy and extra heavy but only one quality.
