Note This is the first appear ance of a regularly weekly depart ment featuring the life of Nebraska's own senators and representatives in the nation's capital. "All the world's a stage and" please note the actors are all home talent this week. The mantle of the late Mases P. Kincaid. known here as one of the capital's most gallant courtiers, has fallen to the Omaha member of the Nebraska congressional delegation. For while the new representative from the big Sixth is far handsomer than Moses P. cold ever have been in his most "flaming youth," still by virtue of taste and tempermcnt. Wil lis G. Sears inherits his niche as a gentleman of courtly consideration ever at the command of fair ladies in distress. For Judge Senra can toss off a fonnet or arrange a lobster sup per for the daughters cf Nebraska colleagues with equal grace. With er or not the judge accompanies "Dis-r-asetf of the Horse" with a short poem when sending such documents to his constituents, I do not know. Put he has written a couple of verses "To a Tree," that would win him votes from any lover of beauty and the out-of-door?. You will not nnd a model of the broad brimmed black sombrero that tops the Quaker locks of our pictur esque member from Platte county in the 1924 Stetson rtyle book. But perhaps Edgar Howard chose this model because the men of the faith of his fathers were inclined to broad brims as well as broad minds. Or. perhaps because it is the style Bryan wore in 1S96." Or it may be thn wide brim complex is a hanc-over from the pioneer days on the Ben Telmen. Those were days when the i now gentle mannered champion of the people was known all over Dun dy county as a very nervous man with a Winchester. He tells of going home one day for his gun when the real killer among the cattle rustlers had threatened to get him. His wife was all concern. "Now, Edgar, you cr.n shoot this fellow in the foot or cripple him some way, but I am not P,oing to have you kill him." said Mrs. Howard. "But she wasn't con cerned about my safety at all!" the congressman plaintively added. The conflict that confronts a man who has two loves has been experi enced by our democratic member who lives on the Republican river at Alma. Next to a political campaign, Ashton C. Shallenberger loves Short horn catt'e. This year he was in vited to judge at the International in Chicago the greatest livestock show in the world. But the very day that anxious owners of smooth and sappy heifers would be leading them in the ring at Chicago. Mr. Coolldge was scheduled to toss his hat in the political ring with his opening mes sage to congress. While Mr. Shall enberger might truthfully have par aphrased Henry Clay and said. "I would rather be Shorthorn Judge than president," he regretfully waved farewell to the roan beauties and ar rived in Washington in time to at tend the democratic caucus that laid the plans for defeating the famous Mellon plan. "Tell me pretty maiden, are there any more at home like you?" asked the reporter of MisBillie Dunn, secretary to Congressman McLaugh lin of York, when she and her four sisters were photographed for the picture page of the Washington Star. The Dunn sisters will soon rival the Bryan brothers for getting Nebraska on the front page, so many Washing ton papers are finding it an inter esting story that five sisters from Fremont. Nebraska, should all be secretaries in the House Office build ing. And more amazing yet. in an swering the querry from America's classic sextette. Miss Billie confessed that four sisters still remain on the old homestead in Dodge county. But, isn't there a mental hazard here, girls? Might not the boss's good hu mor fly off at a tangent when he picks up the paper to find the secre tary continually in the headlines, while the congressman's fame is bur ied in the last paragraph? Governor More-head's office houses a chap who characterizes himself as an "awful democrat." The governor's eecretary is also an "awful" Legion man. Last week's wet, snowy slush reminded him of his march to Ger many with the A. E. F. He said he Just wished scmeona would snatch Mr. Coolidge out of his warm, com fortable office and march him up and down the Avenue for 18 hours at a stretch in the cold and the sleet. He believed it might be a cure for the president's cold feet on the bonus. COZAD FARMER WHIRLED i TO DEATH ON FLYWHEEL Cozad.

STICK TO YOUR JOB, SAY SUCCESSFUL MEN The Changeable Han who Drifts from Job to Job Does Not Attain the Success that He Should. "To what do you attrrbute your success" is often put to a succesoful business man. The answer i3 always summarized in Iwo terse words, "Hard work." Get his story and it will be the c'd-fnshioned story of a man who stuck to his job and moved steadily upward. Conditions in thi respect, as compared with a genera tion ago, have changed. Many boys of today do not "slick." There is no permanency about their beginning whether ofiice boys or clerks. Something is wrong; wheti.er at tributable to this age of jazz, movies or lack of home influence,' is c ques tion for .our reformers to wrestle with; but the fact remains, that many boys of today change jobs too often. The "quitter" starts out like !a winner with determination and i punch; but as soon as he picks up , a smattering of knowledge, he' hikes out to capitalize what little he knows at some new job, and keeps on chang l ing jobs until some day he wakes up land learns to his eorrow that his "Jack of all Trades" knowledge is of no worth or value to a first-class i house. Furthermore in the whirl of business opportunities he is never considered for promotion. Read the life of our most success ful businef8 men and you will find nothing spectacular about their pro motion from beginnings as ordinary "office boys." They merely pro gressed upward as opportunity came along. They stuck to their Jobs and grew from the bottom up. Any young man will go on up and keep going up if he will stick to his job, work hard and intelligently give the best he has in him, taking hold of oppor tunities as they present themselves. Less of Jazz, Joy Riding and Mr.v ies and more wholesome, old fashion ed home life, with its fireside en vironment, good books, interesting games and good companionship were never as essential for our boys as now. The young man starting out in business today needs words of en couragement from home. He should enjoy plentj' of play, but above all, plenty of wholesome sleep to keep him primed for hard work, for it is to be remembered that the man who ar rives, tired out, late on the job in the morning, isn't of very much use to himself or his firm. His chances are lessened. One often hears a good deal about "iuck" in business. Such a thing does not exist. The thing many people call luck is merly opportunity. Op portunity comes to every one; but it comes quicker to the steady, hard worker. His chances to seize it aro better. Young man. pick your joh. Don't pick too often. Stick to it. Wrap your soul around your work; gain a thorough knowledge of your busi ness. Make your work an asset to your house; educate yourself in your line. A man's practical education isn't gained in a classroom. It is gain ed through experience; and that ex perience can only be gained by close application to duty and that duty is to stick to your job and work. Climb steadily the ladder of oppor tunity and keep the ladder in. the eame place as long as possible. Prac tice safety first Watch your etep. Fresh Cow fcr Sale I have a cow to be fresh on March 4th.
