Yes, when you can fight your friends are polite. :o: Machine which makes 1,500 prints an hour from a photographic nega tive has been invented. :0: Pity the poor moth. Just when we are getting out of our winter clothes he is getting into them. :o: The fellow who really can reduce taxes is not a candidate for gover nor. He's the tax dodger. :o: Now they find Salome was an ac robat instead of a dancer. This will not change the Salome dance. :o: France plans to conserve 40,000, 000 tons of coal annually by the electrification of her railroads. :o: When you lose money you call in the income tax expert, as he seems to be able to find it anywhere. -o:o- Nobody knows why Uncle Sam, needing revenue as it does, has nev er put a luxury tax on divorce de crees. :o:- One s.hoe manufacturer announces e 10 per cent reduction in the price of his products, but 10 per cent in that case isn't much. , :o: An editor's mission is to please his readers. And that is what the editor of the Journal has tried to do all his life, and he will soon he 80 years old. Pretty old to be in the harness, but we are still here try ing as hard as ever to please our Teaders.- "It don't take a man long to bag his pants at the knees, and to make a finely tailored suit look thoroughly disrepu table that's the man of it," avers Dainty Dorthy. But she goes on 'to explain that the man who is making use of our cleaning, steaming and pressing services Is keep ing his clothes in much more presentable condition than when he got acquainted with us.

"Another Joy of Spring House- cleaning," announces a woman's page headline. What was the joy, evidently mentioned previously? :o: What about Sir. Groundhog. He didn't know anything about what was coming. We still have winter, and the first of April right here. 0:0 The modern name for the dodo, we understand, i3 raphus. However, we'd rather have it said that we had gone to the dodo than the raphus. :o: The look on a man's face when a sympathetic woman says she "un derstands" him probably is caused by' a hidden fear that maybe she does. . :o: We are assured that peas and prosperity are just around the cor ncr. Lettuce hope that something may turnip to make the prophecy true. :o: Speaking o small town stuff, we could print columns a week but then we'd have to cat our meals on the crossarm of a telegraph pole if we published it. Reduction of the army may solve one or two little problems here and there, but cutting down the member ship and privileges of congress would solve a lot more. :o: ; Most of the husbands of women owning knickerbocker suits are luite enthusiastic over the new style, some of them even going as far as to say, "Oh, they don't look so bad." :o: If you want to know the value of a watch, try going without one for about three days.

Such is an editor's life. :o: Another reason why the revenue always seems to fall short of the pur poses for which it was raised is that the idiots who get up the estimates always assume that the money -will be spent honestly and wisely. 0:0 The government is complaining now that the tax returns are not as large as it had expected. What the government really means is that it guessed too low when it guessed how much money the taxpayers had. :o: We like to think of what heaven is like, but the longer we think the more we hepe it won't be like what we think it. is. We'd hate to enjoy heaven's hospitality for a while and then have to start a lot of reforms. :o: It is believed, that Mr. Lenine has had to feign illness in order to get out of Russitfo attend the Genoa conference, which seems to indicate a really touching confidence between the government and the governed in Russia. i :o: It must be true, for the fashion notes say it, that the American wo man is yielding to' the long skirt inch by inch. But if it were said that she is yielding any faster than that we should lift a questioning eyebrow. :o: SAFETY FIRST An automatic pistol was bought by Edward S. Morrell, prominent electriccal engineer and railroad of ficial of Philadelphia. The ipistol had a safety catch. To demonstrate that it could not be fir ed as long as the catch was in place, j Morrell .placed the pistol to his head and pulled the trigger. The pistol went off, the bullet into j Morrell'g brain. He is dead and all ! because he did not realize that safe- 1 tv devices are futile, without the element of personal caution. Real Safety First depends on your self. Be cautious.

It is unfortunate that we can never know Darwin's opinion of Bryan. :o: Mr. Lloyd George says being pre mier of Great Britain is a chill and desolate task, but he may be merely discouraging competitors." :o: And the senate had 'barely emerg ed from the treaty debate when the bonus , bill arrived from the house. This shows there is no rest for the wicked. :o: The army wants more second lieu tenants, according to Gen. Pershing. There seems to be a market for near ly everything if you know where to find it. -tor- Speaking of automobile wrecks, how about the boy who has been so wrecked by automobiles that he is not good for anything except to drive one of them. , :o: Nobody has decreed a "Bootleg gers' Week," but the bootleggers seem to be doing so well on all the other weeks" that they have no thought of complaining. :o: Mr. Edison says the wireless will soon be so perfectly developed that we will find out what there is about picnic sandwiches and deviled eggs they like so well. :o: Sarah Berhardt, aged 76, Is plan ning to make an airplane flight from Paris to London.

Address Box 248, Plattsmouth : Nebraska THE SENSE OF POWER What is the greatest merit of the automobile? No press agent seems to have thought of it. Ease of loco motion? Speed? Increased transpor tation facilities? Getting the family outdoors? Spreading cities out, and bringing country and city together? Promoting travel? Packing more in to life, and adding to the interest of life? All these are valuable and im portant, but there is something else that is probably more fundamental than any of them. It is the sense of power that comes with the automo bile. If you can "remember your first automobile ride, perhaps you can re call the thrill it gave you, as you swept along with unwonted ease and speed. That feeling comes stronger when one starts driving his own car. Here you are, with your natural powers of locomotion multiplied by 10 or 20 and your energy raised to that of a herd of horses. You can go where you please, at what rate of speed you please, almost without effort. The touch of a finger or a foot brings Incomparably greater re sults than the most strenous exer tion of which you would be capable of yourself. You and the car togeth er constitute a new creature, of mar velous skill and. strength. You fur nish the intelligence and the car furnishes the mechanism and ener gy. Each helps the other, and togeth er you make a sort of superman or supermachine. This sense of power, which comes to any man or woman of imagina tion when driving a good car, may give the owner such a stimulus of mind and' will, such an access of self confidence, that he goes right ahead and makes more than enough additional money to pay for the car. Human powers are seldom fully de veloped or fully realized and every thing that awakens slumbering fac ulties is very much worth while. -:o:- If you need a willing worker in yqur business, if you have any form of mployment to offer, notify the lo cal post of the American Legion. There are several ex-service men an this city who want work, and they should be given preference. o: c Although ha has refused H, thres or four times, it i possible now that Mr. Balfour will relent and accept an earldom. His friends evidently have convinced him that even should he become an earl, they will not allow it to. make the slightest difference in their esteem. :o: Fordson tractors reduced to $395.

He wa5 knock ed down and dragged some little dis tance before the car was brought to a stop, but was able to walk to his home and was given prompt medical attention. No bones had been broken and there were no sign of internal injuries, but in spite of these con ditions he began to grow weaker and suffered greatly at tinie3 until death came to relieve him. "Mr. Meisinger was born December 26. 18 45. at Hesse, Darmstadt, Ger many and when a child came with his parents to America, locating first in Pennsylvania and later at Pekin. Illinois, where he resided until IS CO when he removed to Nebraska, lo cating in Cass county and moving from there to Sarpy county in 1895. He farmed in the vicinity of Spring field until 1913 when he retired from active work and moved to Papiliion, where he had since made his home. "He was united in marriage to Mi?s Albine Heiborn in 1875, and to this union eight children were born. They are Mrs. A. Shoemnn and Mrs. Charles Heim of Louisville; Mrs. P. Lenhard of Ashiand; Mrs. Fred Schmidt of Council Bluffs and Mrs. Cyrus Latham of Buffalo, Nebraska, and Messrs Fred Meisinger of Gil- more; Albert, of Davenport. Iowa, and Robert of Omaha, all of whom with his widow survive. He is also survived by twenty-three grand children and one great grand-child and by two sisters, Mrs. G.

He was a loving husband and father and a good neighbor. He was permitted to live a long life only the last few years of which were free from hard work and care. "The sincere sympathy of all go out to the widow who will miss her companion of so many years most keenly and to the children who though grown and mature still look ed to their father as in the days of their childhood." TOO IATE NOW TO AVERT STRIKE, DECLARES LEWIS Indianapolis, March 30. Interna tional President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, declared that the time is now too short for a "satisfactory agreement" being reached between miners end opera tors that would avert a suspension of work by the union men at mid night tonight. However, he added, the union is still willing to meet the operators. With the statement of the union leader, the last apparect hope of averting a shutdown in the coal in dustry disappeared after having been brought forward by an eleventh hour ffort in the house labor com mittee. All preliminaries for the suspen sion of work have been completed at union's headquarters. New York. March 30.
