The men and beys who did the
fighting are the ones to be remem
bered by this government.
:o:
From r.ow on until Christina-s. you

and be easy to take a hint.
A man was fined $2". because he
snatched a phone from the wall, but
it was probably worth, more.

Two Detroiters were arrested for
fighting about the weather. There is
too much weatlu r to fight over.

The gamp of hearts is very old.
the only difference is that the cave

A man who is married to two wom

Why is further test necessary, we
wonder?
:o:
The chap who struck a match fo
view a leaky carburetor has our
sympathy but that won't buy him a
new car.
:c:
A two p3ge newspaper advertise
ment is headed: '.'What Every Wom-,tbe

two page3. j other of those conservative estimates
o:o ! we nro always hearing about.
The ship subsidy i3 giving the' . :o:
president considerable worry, and al-j There U a tendency for the Christ-

miles an hour, which beats the speed
any Hollywood star has yet shown.
An authority says that everybody
In the United States will be wearing
glasse3 in a few years. That is what
makes optimist3 of the optometrists.
:o:
An expert says that the airships
will soon be carrying trailers and
that "gliders" may serve that
purpose. Anybody want to take a
trailer trip down the Milky Way?
We rather figure that the aerial trav

:o:
All kinds of Christmas goods at
the Journal office.
:ur
Eighteen days until Christmas,
and those are not all shopping days,
cither.
We would rather have snow than
sleet, but then we can't always have
our way.
The good fellows of Plattsmouth
should be doing something for the
Christmas kids.
;o:
-The "flapper type" hasn't disap

Coal is coming down ia Omaha.
How is it in Plattsmouth? Only
twenty-one miles south.
: o:-
Were ii not for the woriienV? visit-

v. hat a mans lull name was?
:o:
V. e do nope for a white C kr:. Unas.
For a black Christmas is not healthy,
and, then, think of the kids.
:o:
Looks and stationery at the Jour
nal office, suitable for Christmas
presents for the old as well as the
young.
:o:
If both are poor and rather badly
off far looks, it is probably a love
match. But that only adds to the
mystery.
:o: .
Harding doesn't favor anything in
which the majority rules unless it is
ail in his favor. That's why he is op
posed to the direct plan of voting for
president.
: o :
An illicit still exploded in Chicago
and killed three persons. After all
it's nothing to worry about. The still
merely got in its work a bit quicker
than usual.
:o:
The "good fellows" of Omaha are
going to do wonders for the poor
folks of that city Christmas. What
will the good fellows of Plattsmouth
do for our needy?
:o:
The ouija board has fallen com
pletely out of favor, according to

Tin; California supreme ci urt has
decided that the King James version

A man living near Seattle is bring
ing in his third full set of teeth at

ifeeds him.
:o:
A University of California profes
sor says the human race improves at
rate of 1 pr cent in twenty-five
mas s;irit to be swanined in the rou-
tine of preparing for Christmas. It
dos us good to slop and take stock
of the real meaning of the day and
of the thought for others it involves.
:o:
A less gallant man than Charlie
Chaplin could not be the hero of so
many rumored romances. But Charlie
keeps the thing going by saying,
when the reporters ask him if he is
engaged to Mi.;s Soandso, "Better ask
the lady."
:o:
The soviet government in Armenia
announces that travelers in that
country must not carry more than
the equivalent to $50 in money. The
presumption is that when a tourist is
found with more than that sum it is
taken away from him. It is a very
simple system from a soviet stand
point. :o:
Henry Ford is said to be invest
ing 520,000,000 in coal mines in or
der to assure fuel for his industries
and also to have a finger in the na
tion's suply. He is on the ground
floor in the quest of all his raw ma
terials. It is suspected that he wanted
to tap the United States senate in
order to obtain air to fill his tires.
IT GETS RESULTS
Rubber heels now are on 60 out
of each 100 pairs of shoes worn by
iinen. Such is the estimate going the
j rounds in the shoe industry.
It is surprising, if you have notic
ed how many men wear rubber heels
i But maybe you remember back only
a few years when rubber heels were
unusual.
What brought them into popular
ity?
The answer is Advertising.
Three-fourths of the rubber heels
sold are for men's shoes. This is be
cause most of the advertising has
been directed at men.
One of these days some wise man-,
ufacturer of rubber hels will notice
this. Then he'll call in the advertis
ing man and his staff of writers and
artists.
Campaigns will follow. And soon
women will be wearing just as many
rubber heels as men.
It's all a matter of advertising
the most powerful force in the sale of
goods. The ideal combination is ad
vertising, which reaches consumers'
brains through their eyes, and per
sonal salesmanship which reaches
less vividly through the ears.
Our present standard of living is
largely the creation of advertising.
For advertising creates the demand,
makes people want the thing adver
tised. When the lure becomes power
ful enough, they hustle about and
get money to obtain what they want.
Advertising thus spurs sales. It
also stimulates production both of
the things advertised and the things
that have to be done on a bigger
scale to obtain money for purchasing
advertised ware.-.
There is a new thought for you
that advertising is a definite agency
of production. Most of us have been
thinking of it merely as a medium
of salesmanship.
Advertising is what is making us
buy.
Advertising is what is enabling us
to buy.
It creates the demand. And th de
mand induces us to work harder to
got the money to spend. If all adver
tising were abruptly discontinued,
the American standard of living
would quickly drop to the levels of
grandpa's day.
Rad the ads. They are a part of
the news, telling the intimate story
of the average American's inner de
sires. The real history of civilization
is written in ads.
-:o:-
I.IEANING OF SERVICE
The motto: "He profits most who
serves best" is a good creed for men
everywhere.
There is a great deal of talking
these days about service, but most of
us are so busy earning a living, and
more if we can, that we forget or
overtook a fundamental fact.
That fact is this every man that
works is in service.
If any man thinks this isn't a fact,
let him try anrl sell his ability to
anyone who is not persuaded that
what is offered is of service to him.
Thero is an old saying that the
world owes each man a living.
That would be much better if ev
ery man owes the world a service.
If no one will pay for anything
ex'-ept that which is of service, then
let us all wake up to the ilea that
if wo want to sell our time and ef
fort we want to sell it as a service.
And then there follows a funda
mental law of exchange that the bet
ter service we have to offer the more
we can get for it.
But it's up to us to prove its value.
An education, loyalty, hard work,
carefulness, interest, all make for
service value.
ITALY'S MILLENIUM
There arc possibly high hopes in
Italy that Mussolini and his Fascist i
will produce the inillenium for Italy.
Here is the method by which they
hone to bring it about:
"We are superpatriots. We have
but one love, her name is Italy. Woe
unto them who seek to harm her.
The bible expounds the doctrine of
'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a
tooth.' Wre go that dictum one bet
ter by proclaiming 'two eyes for an
eye, two teeth for a toothy'."
So said Mussolini when he absum
ed the office of premier.
But we can't help wishing that
politicians who cite the bible in evi
dence would quote from the new
testament instead of the old. Espe
cially when it is a question of mil
lenniums. :o:
Why not follow the lead of an
Ohio college, and make up our muds
for charity by lining people for pro
fanity, bad grammar, loss of temper,
and, so on Besides the reforms work
ed upon the giver, the needy would
be pretty well taken care of, if the
rules were properly enforced.
:o:
Are we all happy? Not by a long
"shot. ThiuJc of the widow and her
'children with a slim coal bin.
IS FRIDAY UNLUCKY?
What is the matter with Friday?
Is it really such an unlucky day, af
ter all?
According to tradition, Friday is
unlucky because it was on that day
that Christ was crucified. Some say
"Adam and Eve ate the forbidden ap
ple on a Friday and died on a Fri
day." In nearly all the countries of
Europe Friday is regarded as the
black sheep of the days of the week,
and it is so esteemed by Buddhists
and Brahmins. The old Romans call
ed it nefactus, from the utter over
throw of their army at Gallia Nar
bonensis. In England it was once the custom
to execute the sentence of death on
condemned criminals on Friday,
which, therefore, has been commonly
known as "hang man's day." There
is an English proverb to the effect
that a Friday moon brings foul
weather. Most sailors refuse to go
aboard a vessel that is to start its
vovage on a Friday.
On the other hand, evidence is
not wanting that Friday is one of the
luckiest days in" the week. Charles
Dickons says that nearly all the for
tunate events in his life occurred on
this day. In Scotland Friday is the
favorite day for weddings.
Moscow was burned Friday. Wash
ington was born Friday. Shake
speare was born Friday. America was
discovered Friday. Richmond was
evacuated Friday,
The Hostile was destroyed Friday.
The Mayflower Pilgrims were land-
d Friday. Queen Victoria was mar
ried Friday. King Charles I wan be
headed Friday. Nopob-on Bonaparte
was born Fridav. Julius Caesar wns
assassinated Friday. The battle of
Mnrenco was fought Friday. The bat
tle of Waterloo was fought Friday.
The battle of Bunker Hill was fought
Friday. The battl of New Orleans
was fought Friday and the Declara
tion of Independence was signed on
Friday.
:o:-
LOVE OR CHARITY
The ex-kaiser was married three
week ago instead of hung.
The text ho chose for his chap
lain's address was from Corinthians
(revised version):
"And now there abideth faith,
hope and love, these three, and the
greatest of these is love."
Which reminds ns. The authorized
version of the bible selects the word
"charity" instead of "love."
The kaiser received the one from
the allies, but not the other.
:o:
It is indeed hard upon parents to
see an only son cut down just as he
is entering into young manhood, as
was the case of young Harold Smith.
He was a handsome, bright youth,
full of life and energy .and loved by
all his young associates. There is not
a parent in Plattsmouth but who
deeply sympathize with Mr. and Mrs.
W. D. Smith, whose hours will be
saddened for many months on ac
count of the death of : this model
young man. The Journal family sure
ly extends its most heartfelt sympa
thy in this hour of deep grief over
the loss of their dear boy, and may
He who rules the universe assist
them in this, their most trying hour.
:o:
When asked regarding his rumor
ed engagement to Pola Negri, Char
lie Chaplin replied that "any an
nouncement must come from her:"
that ho couldn't say "yes" and if I
say "no" think what a position it
would put her in. Which leads to
the conclusion that maybe Charlie
and Pola are going to get married
and maybe they are not. It also shows
that Charlie is much more consid
erate of the feelings of a sweetheart
than a wife, of which he ha3 already
one. Besides, what difference does it
make whether he is going to marry
or not or whom?
o: o
In many cases computing the in
come tax becomes a matter of com
plicated bookkeeping. They may be
tabulated in more ways than one and
sometimes the method may make a
large difference in the amount. Na
turally, the taxpayer will seek the
plan which makes the smallest dent
in hi3 roll. If the income tax is to be
established in perpetuity congress
will have to call in some experts to
help make it safe and sane. It should
not be necessary to call in a profes
sor of mathematics to adjust one's
income tax.
:o:-
According to the best figures of I
the government statisticians the
country's export during the decade
from 1910 to 1920 were as great in (
value as the total exports of the na
tion from the birth of the republic
up to 1910. Ten years of anything
seems to he vaster than the previous
century. We even use more chewing
gum in a single year now than they
did in all the centuries of the Ro
man Empire.
