BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 LORD STRENGTHENED PAUL The Lord stood with me and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. II Timothy iv, 17. :o: A man bigger than you is never a liar. lie is mistaken. :o: The hand that wields the lipstick seldom wields the broomstick. o:o- With all the style changes, chips continue to be worn on the shoul ders. -:o:- If you laugh too much your friends will think you are a bootlegger or a coal dealer. :o: Terhaps a man smiles when a girl pats him on the head because that is his funny bone. :o: "Where do liars go?" asks a preacher. Perhaps where they are often told to go. :o: The -measles microbe ha3 been dls- covered and will be found. It brot this all on itself. :o: . Married men are the best liars. There is no excuse for a bachelor being a good liar. :o: The fact tliat we have bootleggers is proof that they don't drink the kind of stuff they sell. :o: The nice thing about being a farm er is you never have to leave home to go'to the country. :o: It ' is only natural that poli.ics makes strange bedfellows. Politics makes strange fellows. :o: While tools 2,200 old have been found in Rome they weer not left there by some plumber. :o: Cops stopped a dance in Kansas City because the girl3 from Missouri showed them too much. :o:- The great handicap about being a grand opera singer is getting bofn in some foreign country. -:o: Eighteen are bidding -?r old war ships. Let's hope they don't ham mer them in to cafe steaks. Other improvements are noticed.) The derby hat is passing. Old ones will make nice flower pots. :o: "Where are we going?" is Lloyd George's new book. Well, we going to get cold this winter. :o: How can Germany pay? idea is foolish. She needs all The her money to start internal trouble. :o: While a French aviatrix looped the loop 98 straight times we'll bet she couldn't thread a needle once. :o: Movie stars are going to the speak- ing stage. That i too bad. Many will have to learri to speak English. :o: A writer says divorce comes from ignorance. Sometimes, however, it is living proof of the theory that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. :o: A college professor declares that the inert mass of human-kind will always defeat the efforts of the com paratively few "intellectuals," so the old world seems pretty safe after all. :o: There is a well-defined movement throughout the east to print all menus in English. After that re form, the only thing remaining on the card that you don't understand will be the prices. :o: Some Americans are very proud we own the Philippines. They point out that we have big trade advantages and possibilities in these islands. Ta Chen, able writer, finds there are 5, 000 Chinese merchants in the Philip pines and they control four-fifths of the commerce over there. They really own the Philippines. We just think we do. ;o: Israel Zangwill flays the American stage because it carries no message, teaches no moral. On the law of av erages, yes. But that's because our 6tage mirrors American life which In many ways is a frantic, nervous rush without any destination. We think we are speeded up. So does the squirrel in tie revolving cage, running in circles. PLATTS2IOUTH, NEBRASKA Neb., aa aacond-claas mall matter PER YEAR IN ADVANCE : n .1 . I 4" . A THOUGHT FOR TODAY 4 An honest employed does not want a man around who is not square. .i-x 'ii"i" :o: Turkeys have become a republic. All it reminds us of is Thanksgiving turkeys are democratic. : :o: Qur pjl output is increasing. And since school opened the castor oil in take has increased. A' Chicago barber attacked a man with a spade. Wash your head be fore getting a hair cut. :o: Things are quite lively in Boston. A man was arrested" there for claim ing a razor beat four aces. :o: Many sealskin coats are being sold for winter. Many of these coats were once worn by rabbits. :o: Our country is planning a foreign policy. We suggest honesty. Hon esty is the best known policy. :o: A Georgia farmer who wondered if robbers would get $600 out of his coffee pot found they would. 0:0 The trouble with electing the wrong man to ofBce is you can't get your money back if not satisfied. :o: An Idaho man wants a divorce be cause his wife would cook nothing but eggs. She just egged him on. :o: With the persimmons becoming mellow and palatable, one may easily forget the alleged shortage of ba nanas. :o: We hope that the Legion boys will be well paid for their trouble? and that they will have a larg attend ance each evening. :o: Just because she tired of fussing ; with him a negress took a shotgun and blew her husband's head off. Well, that's one way of stopping a fU3S. :o: Russia, we are told, sees a new war. In view of all that Russia has been seeing in the last few years, the sight of a new war must be a whole some change. :o: There are a lot of people getting out of paying federal t-xes by in- t Lllig 111 ItXA. IIUC UU11U 1, uui mat simply makes the other people pay the taxes; the government must have the money or it cannot go on. -:o:- The news dispatches from Germany I indicate that so many kings are hang- ing around there with their light- ning rods up that it ought ,to be easy for a good poker player to fill most any kind of hand over the Rhine. There Is nothing wrong with the proposition to place the burden of keeping our highways upon those who abuse them most. Ever since the monkey used the cat's paw to rake the chestnuts out of the fire people have followed his example. :o: And now comes a British lecturer who solemnly tells us that Cleopatra was not a vamp; that she was not even a woman of radiant beauty, had none of the tricks and wiles of a flirt, but, to the contrary, was a nice little home woman, the mother of sev eral children, including twins. Some body i3 afways destroying our most cherished delusions. :o: Did you know that this year's crop of apples was the biggest our country ever had? The total? About two bushels for every man, woman and child. Here is over production if there ever was any such thing. If a student of economics, don't neglect to price apples. You'll learn some thing about the law of supply ftnd demand supply little, demand much. :o: A newspaper in Duesseldorf says Hugo Stinnes is organizing a com pany "t;i compete with Standard Oil." Its capital is to be twenty mil lion dollars, a sum that would af fect Standard Oil about as much as a paper wad would rock a grizzly bear. A great business, man, a genius, is Hugo Stinnes. But there are a few men in these United Stated that can show him a trick or two. TARIFF HITS FAEMER In order to salve the farmer, re publican propagandists are now quot ing statistics to prove to him that j his dollar is worth more than the wage worker's and that the prices of his products are greater than they were in 1913. It appears, however, that neither 'the farmer's nor the wage worker's 'dollar Is worth 100 cents as it for ' merly was. According to these sta tistics which the propagandists are (careful to describe as "official" the 'farmer is trying to pay his debts and buy his necessities with a dollar that has a purchasing power or only 75 " cents expressed in agricultural pro Jj ducts with 1913. The wage work ";er's dollar is worth about the Bame as !th farmpr's The fact is that when the farmer's dollar is used to buy commodities other than agricultural products his own crops and produce of one kind and another its value is not above 70 cents. This is true largely because the excessive tariff on all kinds of manufactures clothing, furniture, carpets, rugs, hardware, chemicals, drugs, building materials, and the like is being collected from consumers of these goods, whereas the duties on purely agricultural products in the raw state cannot be added by their producers to selling prices. Between 1913 and 1920 years of democratic control of the federal gov ernment the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar was only twice below 100 cents. In 1916 it fell to 97 cents and in 1920 to 96 cents. In 1913 is was 100 cents, in 1914, 105 cents; in 1915, 103; in 1917, 107 cents; in 1918, 112 cents; in 1919, 112 cents. For the whole eight years of the Wilson administrations the average purchasing power of the farmer's dollar averaged 104 cents. The value of the farmer's dollar was put at S9 cents in 1922. Mean while the Fordney-McCumber profi teers' tariff has been operative and the purchasing power of the farm er's dollar has dropped still lower, according to the department of agri culture. RIDING IN THE PULLMAN How much are the American peo ple willing to pay for the added com fort of traveling in Pullman cars? We are not able to answer the ques tion in dollars, but the sum would doubtless be impressive. The Pull man company has just given out some statistics as to the use of its cars Which certainly suggest that comfort in riding is not one of the sacrifices which the American traveler readily makes in the interest of economy. The daily averages of Pullman cars in service, during the year 1923 was 5,634. Each car in services av eraged something over 400 miles per day. the total number of car miles for the year being 852,000,000. The average daily number of passengers riding in Pullman cars throughout the United States In 1922 was 90, 000, in round numbers. By multi plying this number by the number of days in the year, the compiler of the statistics, as quoted in the New York Times, reached the conclusion that in 1922, almost one out of every three men, women and children in the United States made use of the Pullman service. This would be lit erally true, however, only if each in dividual -Pullman passenger made but one trip in the year, and confin ed that ,trip within the limits of a single day. The actual number of individuals using the Pullman ser vice was of course onJy a small part of one-third of the population. The total number of "passenger- miles" traveler! during the year is given as 12.500,000, which . may be made a little more comprehensible to the ordinary mind by representing it as the equivalent of an army of 100,000 men going five times around the earth at the equator. George M. Pullman doubtless thought he had a good thing, when he devised the Pullman car, but he could hardly have imagined Mhe proportions to which its use would grow. TIMES AHE AD The business outlook is, good, ac cording to Jesse L. Livermore, known in Wall street as the largest individ ual stock market operator. Liver more says: "During the past few years the people of our country have become accustomed to living on a higher any Sales Nov; Booked! I have many sales booked and some open dates. Those wanting dates had better see me before choice dates are all gone. - R.W. YOUNG, Auctioneer standard than heretofore, and they are not going to be satisfied to live any other way in the future. The money they spend must necessarily mean a larger purchasing power, and is bound to keep business at a good volume." Livermore is right. Thrift the savings instinct is a fine thing. But spending makes prosperity. For instance, people have become accus tomed to buying autos. This buying makes jobs for the army of people engaged in manufacturing the cars. In turn, these car makers spend the money they receive, thus keep ing busy the employes in other indus tries. The more we 6pend for le gitimate purposes of production, the more jobs there are and the more prosperity to be divided among all of us. Common sense, of course, shows us that when a man makes more and spends more, he also should save more. We can't have luxuries and neces sities unless we create them. It's plain that we have to produce-more if we want to have more. Larger production is the price of a higher standard of living. And the stand ard of living is flexible it moves up and down, accordingly a3 we produce more commodities or not. Humanity can't consume more than it produces. The ravens don't bring manna in our generation. :o: MASKED DANGER Carelessly reaching for her hair with a hot curling iron, a woman ac cidentally sticks the iron into her eye. It blinds her. Queer accident? It has happened to five women in America in the last few months. Another odd case: A Swiss cheese. its holes filled with accumulated gases, exploded when it wa3 cut open at a Long Island fair. A spectator had an eye severely injured by one of the flying fragments. Then there's the case of the baby who playfully gouged a man's eye with its thumb. Another man's eye was badly cut by the sharp kicking leg of a stray grasshopper. These strange incidents, reported by the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, are remind ers of the uncertainty of life. For tunately, the masked dangers are few and far between. Nevertheless, the improbable occasionally happens. It is comparatively easy to dodge the common dangers of life. All that's needed Is personal cairtion. along with a few of the safety de vices with which man tries to make this a fool proof world. There is cause for surprise when a Swiss cheese explodes, but not when a train strikes an auto. The train rarely leaves the track to hit anyone. Avery Hopwood, the playwright, once took a steamer trip up a Chi nese river. His cabin was shared by a fussy young Englishman who was constantly spraying, fumigating and disinfecting using every known precaution to dodge Chinese plagues. Despite all this, the Englishman contracted smallpox, hile the less careful passengers escaped. How do you explain? Fate? 0:0 It is hard to sell some men wash ing machines because' they think they married one. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court.
