The average young man is going to look at you a long time before he decides that he would like -to pay your poll tax for life. :o: Driving a bargain is very muchj like driving an automobile.

Ana the consumer gets it in the neck all around. :o: A Detroit court has decided that giving a bum check 1n payment for whiskey is not a violation of the law. But the decision won't 'worry the r.rnotlesreer verv much. Thev ran jfund -plenty of purchasers who pay i with real cash. -o:o- j The only two arguments the wo I men haven't used why men should not smoke, are the real ones the poor quality and the bigh price, j Those arguments will be heard often er anl with .better effect when more ! women learn to smoke. :o: Now dt is claimed that those Los Angeles earthquakes were caused by the booming of big guns of the Pa cific fleet.

Love's labor lost. :o: The late Mr. Taylor, movie direc tor -was known among 'his friends as being "very reserved." So, apparent ly, his murderer. ;o: The lialf has not been told about Mary who had a little lamb. It ap pears she also bad two calves.

It i , is cheaper and 'better. :o: A wildcat oil well in California has been spouting fish, we read. A mistake, probably. The fish that go in for wildcat oil wells never come to the surface again. :o: You simply can't fool that low pressure gang in congress. They know the whole world is going a whooping and they want to 'hurry it along as fast as possible. :o: There are several candidates for sheriff, but if the successful candi date for nomination can't do as well as the present sheriff, we say, "hold onto that which is good!" ?o: ' We are now hearing a lot from statesmen who have one ear to the ground and some of them sound as though somebody 'had come along and stepped on the other. :o: : What clothes women should wear, ana now to wear inem, is me nature of a new course at the state normal. And the understanding is that it is a short course. :o: The talk of moving the movie 'headquarters .from Hollywood is all bosh! Those who have fine homes out there will have something to say to Hays when he attempts that job. :o: The administration, it is given out, is soon to decide whether or not to send representatives to the Genoa conference. To be Genoaed or not to be Genoaed, that is the ques tion. o:o This great country is a 1ig inves tigating committee; it would seem, and with soft eoap and sweet oil, things pass through their fingers as slick as the bank robber sets the money. - .

WOLF HUNTS ARE MENACE TO GAME SAYS LEO STUHR State Secretary of Agriculture De Clares Them Merely Cover for Slaughtering All Game Secretary Stubr of the state de partment of agriculture, has started a movement to put a stop to the wolf hunt, so popular a winter diversion in many sections of the state. If the people will not listen to his ap peal on behalf of the game of the state, he says the legislature will be asked to pass a law prohibiting them "The wolf hunts have become menace to the game of Nebraska,' said Mr. Stuhr Thursday. "It is the old question of mob psychology over again. Members of these hunts do things that as individuals they would not think of doing, or at least they wouldn t dare to because they could not get away with it. "As high as a thousand men join in these hunts, and they shoot every thing that pops up, whether it is under the protection of the law or not. The rabbits are falling victims by the hundreds to their guns. There is no closed season for rabbits, but this is the mating season for them, and killing them now means wiping out many of them for the future. I think that protection to every animal, except predatory ones, should be giv en in the mating season. Two or three game wardens can do nothing with such a mob. Yet if they don't quit these practices it will be impossible to preserve game prop erly. The number of wolves killed is negligible. Sometimes they get none, other times two or three or possibly six or eight. Every live farmer knows where these wolf dens are. and he could kill off the litter in the spring and end that menace. Chickens and pheasants by the hundreds that cost the state a lot of money to start breeding are being destroyed." Mr. Stuhr had in in hand at the time an advertisement for a wolf hunt in the Beaver City neighbor hood set for February 13th. He says that these hunts are advertised like public sales and in some sections are held over Sunday and two or three times during the week. This is good evidence, he thinks, that they are not really wolf hunts. Governor McKelvie took part in a wolf hunt near Arapahoe not long ago, and when Mr. Stuhr was asked if the governor joined with him in this campaign, he suggested that inquiry might be made of the chief executive.

Because some college professor said that the average adult had the intelligence of a child of 14, a New York reporter went out and found a man who said America was discov ered in the sixteenth century; an other who said Miles Stand ish was a Quaker; another who located Siam in the West Indies. The joke, of course, is on the reporter. He mis took intelligence for knowledge, an error far more grave than that of saying Siam is in the West Indie. :ck The Governor of Maine gave six school boys an official permit to "sleep late." on the morning after they had helped to entertain him.

The figure is for civilian fliers. It does not Include aviators on the gov ernment payroll. During 1921 these 1,200 civilian air pioneers flew a total of more than 6,500,000 miles and carried 275,000 passengers. This means that If you had your own flying machine you oould ex pect to get out of it about 5,417 miles a year and give rides to 230 friends a year on the average. Experts estimate that flying by civilians gained a fifth last year. In the long run, the history of hu manity may select that as the most important progress made by America in 1921. Conquests of the air made rapid strides last year. American flyers broke many records during 1921. Uncle Sam's air mail force in creased its average efficiency ,to about the world over. Two day mail ser vice across the continent. Flying forest rangers discovered S38 forest fires during the year. Later in 1921, Stinson and Ber taud broke the enduring record byj remaining in the air nours, i minutes and 35 seconds. Another record "broken in America during 1921 was Lieutenant J. A. Macready, who in September reach ed an altitude of more than 37,000 feet above Dayton, Ohio. Successful parachute drops from a heigbt of 25,000 feet were made during 1921. We look on these as achievements. So they are. But the achievements of 'today are the commonplace of to morrow. The first airplanes were looked on as county fair curiosities. But so were the first steam locomotives. which burned cord wood for fuel and had side brakes like a stage coach. Few of us realize the tremendous strides that have been made by air plane flying. It is only a matter of a few years until flying will ,be as safe as trav eling on the ground. The great flying feats of Amer ica's air pioneers are paving the way for safe, cheap and phenomenally rapid flying by the average Ameri can, now riding . in street cars or autos. " And it's an American invention. :o: THE LEGION WILL CARRY ON The powerful factor that the Grand Army of the Republic has been in the three score years of its activ ity is giving place to the American Legion. Now the three Douglas coun ty posts of the G. A. It. are about to consolidate, the U. S. Grant post and the George W. Crook post hav ing already approved the idea. From a membership of 1,100 just after the civil war, these three organizations have shrunk to 141. Crook post now has sixty-eight members. Grant fifty-three and Custer twenty. The thinning rank of the Blue cannot but remind us of the fratern ity that has been evident within the membership. The members were quite active in establishing soldiers' homes and memorials, in instituting Mem orial day, and were a powerful force in pension legislation. Although a ruling of the Grand Army of the Republic decreed the organization should not be partisan, it has had great influence in shaping party poMcy. As the old veterans become fewer and fewer, the principles and pur poses of their order have been taken up by the members of the American Legion. The colors of the Blue have already blended with the Khaki. The catholicity of the Legion lifts it above party or any particular relig ion. Like the Grand Army of the lie public, it is starting its career with tremendous influence and power. If it is wisely guided to stand always for a true and not a bogus Ameri canism, and to fight as unselfishly as it fought in France for the im perishable principle of peace and liberty based on justice, its value to the republic will grow with the pass ing years.

But about $72 is passing through the clearing houses now, for every $54 dn 1917 when America entered the war. This reflects higher prices.
