II Samuel 22:21. :o: This is the season when the work of the farmers begins to crop out. -:o: Napoleon was born on Friday and was defeated at Waterloo on Friday. :o:- Noniinate spring s the proper season for "miscellaneous showers." :o:- In 56 square miles, Hawaii has three volcanoes and a lake of hot lava. :o: Budapest, Hungary, includes the historic town of Ofen, once a Roman colony. The artificial flower industry in England employs more than 10,000 persons. :o: Nothing is easier than finding a toothpick when you are looking for a match. -:o: The fruit trees are in bloom, giv ing promise of latticework pies in the offing. -:o:- Our third party friends are in a rupture. Too many bosses will kill any party. The Journal has heard that a flap rrr is a chicken hatched from a hard boiled egg. :o- The carnival is drawing crowds every night and seems to bo giving satisfaction. :o:- Anyway we are glad it is the wo men and not the men who are wear ing knitker3. :o: The Genoa conference is a dead letter. Now they are to have a new one at The Hague. And now an advertiser wants to employ "a Jajutor.wJio is, a good me chanic inside and out." rot- Doyle says he is only up to his ankle In spiritualism, but some think it has gone to his head. :o: The spring chicken market may be glutted this year, but the Tgg mar ket never will be, because even brides can cook eggs. . o:o Another big bargain day has pass ed and a larger crowd than ever was here to reap the benefit and all buyers went home satisfied. :o:- A beautiful city, fine buildings, big stores and genuine up-to-date business men is the way a stranger visiting Flattsmouth, puts it. :o: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle says he will write no more Sherlock Holmes stories. He tan easily get in touch with most spirits, but Sherlock is too elusive. "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 th 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.

He says she can spread news all over the town in a few seconds after she hears it :o: Max Oser, Avho is to marry Miss McCorniick, is said to be a gentle man. Now that this is settled, the country seems ready for a little more warm weather. :o: Wilbur Glenn Voliva's declaration thalt hell is a lake of fire under the earth would be a whole lot more ap propriate if made some time near the middle of August. -:o:- lt Is rather hard along certain lines to choose between the tight wad and the spendthrift, but when it comes to loaning them money the banker does not hesitate. To avoid a colorless existence, keep In the pink of condition; do thing3 up brown, treat people white, be well read, and get out onto the golf green under the blue occasion ally. :o: '- The taxpayers are going to have a great deal to say in the selection of candidates at the coming primary. They have awakened good and plenty to the "mode" and "code" of a rob bery system. Baseball attendance last week downed all records for periods so early in the year. The Chicago la bor leaders' baseball boycott must be on the one that was to rebuke Judge Land is. :o: If Lloyd George ever retires from 'office, he's going to miss his daily crises, but Im he moves to this coun try and engages in the cattle busi ness, he can get most of the sensa tions he's used to. " -ro:- The United States through the state department. at Washington re fuses to join the European economic-conference at .The Hague. Let us join the' League of Nations where everything can be done right. All parties, are playing for the farmer vote. And the genuine farm ers are laying low, and when the nominations are made, they are just smart enough to know which can didates are the safest to rely upon. In state politics the farmers are going to cut a big figure. The stand ing and reliability of candidates is going to cut a big figure with farm ers, also. Put that down in your day book and see if our prophc: is not right. . . . -:o: Congress in the last few months has apparently quit trying to legis late everybody rich, but the theory is still wrong. A railroad official now believes grade crossing accidents can be reduced by laws requiring every body to stop, look and listen. oto One thing the people want to look out for in the primary is the selec tion of good able and reliable men for the legislature. There are plenty of good men in all parties men who will look after the best interests of those who pay tfce heavy taxes. :o: Chicago's war on banditry prob ably will give great distress to those hopeful persons who had believed that unprepiredness ought to be I given a fair chance to show what It I could do toward making bandits and uussian3. Germans and Turks men and brothers. -:o:- Senator New urgrd as a reason for jhis re-election from Indiana that he would be acceptable to President j Harding, who refused to take part ; in the contest. The moral seems to I be that the voters prefer a senator that is crept able to then rather than one that suits Foir.eono else. -:o:- I There is talk cf another Dempsey Carpentier match, an dwe are warn ed against another deluge of "bunk" leading up to the alleged affair. The jpre-fight bunk is always pretty bad but it never wa sany worse than the 'Dempsey bunk which radiates even l when he has no fight in prospect. j o:p 1 France gave notice to the Genoa 'conference Saturday that she would jhold no further discussion with the Russian Soviets. And no one will charge France with undue impa tience at that. Trying to talk sense with soviet delegates no doubt is like trying to give a telephone number to an operator who starts in faying "I'm ringing them" ..before she has heard your number. .

RAINS HEEDED IN NEBRASKA. Washington. May 17. Winter wheat and other fall sown grains continued during the past week to make normal gajns according to the crop review issued by the Uniteil States' department of agriculture to night. It was added, however, that "rain is needed in portions of the northeast and in some north central states, especially Iowa and eastern Nebraska," and the wheat in the far northwest would respond to warmer weather. "Germination of spring wheat has been grood throughout the belt." the report said, "and the early sown crop is lcokiing good generally. Oats made satisfactory progress also, although moisti-ro is needed in some quarters, especially in the upper Mississippi valley districts." Work in the corn fields generally accomplished good results, the re view raid, planting being under way vlsi-)nearly to the northern limits or the belt." and early sowing coming up as far north as the Ohio valley. Even granting that non-advertit-ing stores could attract as many buyers as the advertising ones, the latter would make tne more money, thereby reducing materially the over- head expense.
