So do those who drink it. :o: As reformers see it. there's too much latitude In woman's dress and not enough longitude. :o: "Rum valued at ?500.000 dumped into Chicago river." says a news story. Poor, little fish! :o: Harvard history students are sing ing their lessons. That's cne way to get even with the teacher. :o:- Secretary Mellon wants a tax on checks, but what the country really wants is a check on taxes. :o: The harvest moon is living up to its great traditions. Never before have we seen a finer moon. ' :o: So many people are busy being unemployed that it is extremely hard to get any work done. :o: Capital and labor would get along better if there weren't so many men trying to get capital without labor. :o: This is the season of the year the small boys turn lightly to thoughts of who the devil invented arithme tic. :o: "Kansas Miners Pay the Fiddler." What the Kansas miners should do is stop his pay. Then he'd change his tune. o : t Another thing that delays the re turn to normalcy is the theory that business is equipped with a half Etarter. :b: Even in these dry times you oc casionally see a man on a street car who is drunk enough to offer a lady his seat. :o: The government wants $.",0Q0. 000.000 for next year.

And it doesn't cost much, either. 33 Goods Calkd for and Delivered Everybody should learn the Latin language. Just think of all the mon ey you'd save on prescriptions. :o: The worst mistake some girls ever made was in quitting business college when they found out they were to be married. :o: ' Love is just one fool thing after another. Little Kock Gazette. May be; usually love is just two fool things after each other. :c: Our civilization has progressed to the point where a mother no longer examines her child's head when it comes home from school. :o: Most mothers rock the cradle with their feet. Shall we therefore say "The foot that rocks the cradle is the foot that rules the world?" :o: Of course it is all right fcr a girl to tmoke cigarets if they improve her mouth, but if she wants to look manish she should chew terbacker :o: Personally, we have never craved riches, but some day we hope to have money enough to dress like the clerks In our popular haberdasheries :o: One of the most uncalled for things wo have ever heard of is the bulletin just issued by the govern men, entitled "How to Keep the Cel lar Do'." :o: Ordinary expenditures of the gov eminent decreased 25 million dol lars in September as compared with August. September, you know, was one day shorter than August. 0:0 The following outrage from the Atchison Globo may be somewhat mitigated by circumstances: , "It the threatened railroad '.strike leaves a gulf between the food sup ply and the demand, the country may still be able to Ford( it." :o: v There's a reason for everything The price of ice cream and sodas ad vanced because sugar went as high as 20 cents a pound.

Now, on find ing the pot of gold, the searchers have only to look at the opposite end of the rainbow. There will be the papers. :o: Instead of sneering at ongress for trying to place the taxes where they will alienate the fewest votes, per haps we ought to be glad congress does so. There is no limit' to what an aggregation of spendthrifts would 'do were it not for the restraining fear of votes. A good time does not always de pend upon how good you are at the time. -:o:-- AVout all the papers are accept ing normalcy as a very good word and are using it. A newspaper man dug up the word "boom" and be fore long it htd entrance -in the moft correct household. So wc might as well take our medicino. Normalcy is here to stas', no mat ter what it means. -:o:- 166 Ui0JRHAL OFFICE Senator Moses informs the senate that taxation shsiild be uniform and just. It is fear-?d that Senator Moses !has not been following the recent de velopments of the science of taxa tion, or he would know that the ap proved axiom now is that taxes need iiot necessarily be just so long jis they are sufficient and the taxpayer is too stunned to protest. :o: At the present rate of exchange the salary of the president of Ger- J many amounts to only $85 per I month. No worder there has been , very little competition for his job I thus far. The President of Mexico jhas issued a decree that jobless men j shall ride free on the railroad trains. They have been doing that in this country for many years. :o: Ssnator Borah scores President Harding for his frank letter in which he said people should not ex pect too much of ithe disarmament conference. Mr. Borah says "the peo ple should not be led to expect lit tle or nothing of it." But the presi dent may be wiser than the senator in this instance. It is a mistake to lead people to expect loo much of any international conference. It I might be well to fool the people this J time by accomplishing more than they are perparing to expect. There's money in anything if you know how to get It out.

We re member when some children would do as they were told. :o: ! Custom is a great thing and may be we too will get accustomed to looking at bare knees. : o Automobiles have come down to pre-war prices. That s fine. All we need now. is pre-war profits. :o: Maybe suffrage is responsible but we notice many girls sticking to their Jobs after getting married. :o: Although charitable we are op posed to waste. We are especially op posed to waists that are hard to reach around. :o: Even the worst things have their advantages and the clumsy dancer is in no danger of stepping on hi3 part ner's skirts now. -:o:- A number of manufatcurers of wo men's appared have failed recently. The women are not wearing enough to keep them busy. 0:0 With the high cost of living girls should give serious thought to the problem of supporting a husband be fore accepting a proposal.- ' :o: A new health cult claims that idleness on the part of the brain is conducive to long life; but how about those who haven't any? :o:- Republicans in the lower house of congress have decided to support the Seigel bill, which provides for an increase of the membership of that body. :o: Back in school again. It's a great change period in the life of the youngsters, but it makes Father Bweat blood to explain the hard questions that they put up to him. :o: They say women grow older fast er than men, nut nowadays tne mother at forty looks like the daugh ter at twenty, while the father at fifty doesn't look a day over seven ty.

CASE IS DISMISSED The $21,219.70 personal damage suit of W. Robert Good, an Otoe county farmer, against the Missouri Pacific railroad and R. B. Baker, a locomotive engineer, was settled and dismissed Monday afternoon. The settlement was made at Omaha, and the amount was not stated. The plaintiff was bound for Nebraska City April 1, 1920, with a motor truck loaded with hogs when the truck was struck and demolished by a Missouri Pacific freight train at a grade crossing. Good was not hurt but his truck was smashed and his hogs scattered along the highway. The plaintiff alleged that the de fendant had negligently constructed the approach-to the crossing in such a manner that it acted as an ob struction, besides no warning bell or whistle was sounded by the engin eer. R. B. Baker, the engineer, was made a co-defendant. The petition set out that he was running the lo comotive at the time of the acci dent.
