PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
We are wondering how the God
dess of Liberty would look in short
skirts and with bobbed hair.
o: o
If a man is unable to make a dis
tinguished name for himself in any
other way he uses a hyphen.
:o:
This country is supposed to have
2,000,000 depe fiends. Any sport edi
tor knows the figure is low.
:o:
French are building houses with
straw. Peasants who live In straw
houses should not keep cows.
:o:
Twenty bandits raided a Kentucky
distillery. Perhaps the regular offi
cers had more than they can do.
:o:
While a man is burning with in
dignation, he is usually too over
heated to present any cold facts.
:o:
"Auto is railroad's greatest ene
my." says an official. Yes, but when
attacked by an auto a train wins.
o:o
A law against women smoking
suggests "Lips that touch the ciga-
root shall never rest beneath our
snoot."
:o:
"How could you ask a girl to
dance?" asks a subscriber. Depends
on the place and how she usually
dances.
:o: x
Germany is now in the position of
the poor old guy who spent the best
part of his life trying to pay off a
mortgage.
:o:
Did you ever notice how a meek
little woman begins to assert herself
about twenty-four hours after her
marriage?
:o:
Despite their allurement, Isn't it
a fact that you don't care to kiss a
girl when you know she has paint
on her lips?
:o:
Another brand of bootlegger li
quor brought to Plattsmouth is call
ed "The Undertaker's Pride." Be
careful, boys, be careful!
:o: .
A bill is to be introduced into
some legislatures to prohibit smok
ing. Get your pacifiers at the drug
stores, gentlemen, and be prepared.
ro:
Economy is not economy, unless
it is constructive in character, and
true economy, like charity, should
start at home, even if it doesn't stay
there.
:o:
Human nature is the thing that
makes some men imagine they have
a perfect right to work l;rs them
selves and at the same time work
others more.
:o:-
President Harding having pardon
ed Debs, it will be next in order for
him to instruct the war department
to destroy the list of slackers and
draft evaders.
:o:
The beating swords into plow
shares won't make the world entirely
Fafe because there will still be fools
who will try to beat train3 at rail
road crossings.
:o:
Beware of the man who smiles
i when he is angry; he's dangerous.
And beware also of the man who
: looks glum when he is glad; he's
probably a humorist.
:o:
I It is explained that most of the
deaths from drinking In New York
New Year's celebration were caused
j by bad liquor. Still, those killed by
; good liquor are just a? dead.
:o:
One of the principal reasons why
the glad Christmas spirit doesn't
1 last much longer than a week is the
printed knowledge of the saving you
could have made if you had waited
until after Christmas to buy your
gifts.
! :o:
t It doesn't matter so much wheth
er It was he or she who made the
proposal of marriage. The mere mat
ter of bringing up the subject Is
nothing compared to the momentum
(which carries it through to the ex
loratie finish, and we guess every
body knows who furnishes that.
I :o:
A few months ago when there was
so much talk of knickerbockers, peo
ple began to wonder how women's
apparel could be distinguished from
men's. But a
dispatch from Paris;
makes It clear, no matter what di
rection the fundamental of style may
take. The Paris dispatch says men's
fashions will be exactly opposite to
women's the men's clothing will be
tight and tbe women's loose. '

diameter of the earth.

Some farmers can get lit up on
corn without burning it.
:o:
The harder a man works the less
his worries will worry him.
:o:
Due to a shortage of underwear
lots of people's knees are cold.
:o:
Ohio miners planning a strike for
April 1 don't seem April fooling.
:o:
Did you ever know of a man to
marry a woman to reform her?
:o:
"Grave Digger's Delight," is an
other brand of bootlegger's liquor.

THINK IT OVER
Are you interested in your busi
ness? Are you full of pep? Have you
faith in the future of your town?
Are you willing to keep on pulling
and working and (boosting for the
community and county in which you
live? Or have you slowed down?
Have you begun to carry about with
you a long face and greet people who
solicit your business with a grouch?
If you fall in the latter class you
need a vacation. Your business has
got the better of you. You are down
and out and need to get away where
you can think matters over and de
cide on a new plan of attack. You
tran adapt your changed business to
ithe changed order and make good.
The question is do you know how?
Or if you do not know bow, are you
willing to put on the job a man who
does?

YOUR 30 SLAVES
Take away all our machinery and
steam and electrical power, and it
would require 3,000,000,000 hard
working slaves to duplicate the
work done by Americans.
The use of power and machinery
gives to every man, woman and child
In our country the equivalent of 30
slaves.
This is figured out in the latest
bulletin of the Smithsonian Institu
tion. Why envy the noblemen, back In
ancient Egypt or Bagdad, with 30
slaves' toiling for him?
He had swift running slaves bring
him fish from the ocean and birds
tongues from the mountains.
Today with a few dimes, you can
get a tin can of shrimp brought
from Japan, a package of dates from
Syria, a bag of nuts from Brazil, sar
dines from Norway. !
Your slaves machinery and pow
er bring them.
For a few cents you can buy en
ough matches to start 1,000 fires.
When the ancient nobleman's fire
was doused by rain, he shivered in
the cold until slaves made a blaze
by friction or brought fire brands
from afar. j
Plenty of old settlers, now living,
can recall the days before matches,
when they ran a mile from the near
est neighbor's with a shovelful of
blazing coals.
Your real -wealth is measured, not
in money, but in the number of
things you obtain to eat and wear,
the ease with which you get them,
the comforts and conveniences of
your home, methods of transporta
tion and amusement.
It is only a few centuries since
even the richest kings had no sew
ers, running water, rapid transpor-
tation or any of the commonplace
things that brighten the lives of all.
today.
Each year adds to our comforts
ind
conveniences.
A few years ago, only the richest
men in town had autos. Now there's
an auto for every twelve Americans.
Henry Ford is experimenting with
a mixture of glue, cotton and formal
dehyde. He expects to make a pow
erful buildng materal out of these.
If he succeeds, he'll stamp flivvers
out like doughnuts.
That seems like a dream. But it is
merely tipical of the processes of
mass production that have given the
average person luxuries that were de
nied the kings of antiquity.
Measured in ancient standards,
we are all kings today, -with the
slaves of electricity, steam and ma
chinery toiling constantly for us.
TRIES CONTEMPT CASE
From Tuesday's Dally.
This afternoon District Judge J.
T. Begley departed for Auburn where
he will sit with Judge Raper in the
district court there in hearing a con
tempt case growing out of the Neal
murder trial there a few weeks ago.
At the trial of the case it was claim
ed that one of the members of the
jury made remarks concerning the
case that in the opinion of Judge
Raper made the man subject to. con
tempt of court and the trial was stop
ped and the case laid over until the
next teim of court. The juror will
not be placed on trial for the charge
of contempt of court.
