March is on her last legs, thank

Calling clubs by numbers is a new

More hats are being thrown Into

The postmen get tipped in Eng-

Bergdoll will come home to take
his medicine if they'll make it a ton

The whistle of the cardinal may
indicate the arrival of spring but the
beatiner of a rug confirms it.

Another good thing about modern
education is that it enables a young
man to out-argue his father.
:o:
Our guess is that some Americans
have found less trouble in foreign
than domestic entanglements.
:o:
Details involving oil and whisky
are laid to Teapot Dome, and it iBn't
the first time the two have been j
mixed.

Personally, we do not crave great
physical comfort, but we do wish it
were fasioabnhle to wear pajama3

Evidently there are only two ways
to see Dempsey fight go to Ri k

A Massachusetts hunter has taken

If you're feeling melancholy and
sad and want to find a place where
you acn be cut off from the entire
world, there's no solitude like that

For the democratic nomination for
V. S. senator don't pass up Hon. Ken
neth W. McDonald. He is one of the
ablest young men in Nebraska, and
would add luster to the state. He
Is deservine:.
:o:
The vernal season cannot be de
layed much longer. Spring must as
sert herself in her full warmth and
beauty. While the cold weather is
not so pleasing just now. we cannot
help thinking that along about July
or August when electric fans can
not keep up with tho rising mercury
perhaps we shall think more kindly
of the keen breezes of today.

The national debt (over 21 bil
lion dollars! will be wiped out in 31
years, according to present plans of
the treasury. The more interesting
part of this scheme in the depart

Advertising success must be found
ed upon the truth. There was a time
when advertising was used largely to
deceive but, to the sorrow of a very
few present day advertisers who have
attempted to follow the old method,
deceptive advertising means ruin.
Advertising was once used to dispose
of goods on which the merchants was
"stuck"-; articles which were not
worth the price or were otherwise
undesirable were worked off by
means of flower descriptions.
But that day has passed. If you
read the advertisements of a repu
table store In a reputable paper you
can safelv believe every word. The
merchant invites you to inspect what
he has, generally names you a price
and he realizes that he cannot long
stay in business if he attempts to
deceive. Descriptions are seldom in
accurate, nor are the values less than
stated.
A business nowadays must be
built. It is the accumulative result
of years of honest dealings, and
merchant cannot afford, by a decep
tive advertisement, to lose the good
will which it has taken so long to
build up.
Read the advertisements and be
lieve what they say. It is a safe
policy and a profitable one.
:o:
ACCIDENTS INCREASE
As safe as in your own home no
longer holds good as a comparison
How completely this idea of safety
has been upset has been discovered
in a Btudy ot tatal accidents among
14,000,000 or more industrial life in
surance policyholders of the Metro
politan Life Insurance company. This
reveals that a death rate of 68 per
sons out of every 100,000 exposed to
accident hazards includes nine killed
in domestic accidents. But it makes
no accounting of thousands who
were made cripples, or were "laid
up" with broken bones, sprains or
other injuries.
With all the emphasis which has
been laid on safety in industry, with
many states creating safety divisions
to safeguard the workman, it ap
pears, little attention has been paid
to the hazards of domestic life. Yet
the domestic accident rate is only one
per 100,000 less than that for in
dustrial accidents, according to Dr.
Louis I. Dublin, statistician.
As in the case of accidents among
pedestrians on the streets, the vic
tims of accidents in the home are
chiefly among children and the aged.
Fatalities from domestic accidents
among children under 15 years of
age are 10 per 100,000 while, among
those of 55 or over, the toll is 1 per
100.000, and for those over 65 the
rate is 62 per 100,000.
The "golden age" from the stand
point of domestic accidents is from
15 to 24, for the death rate among
this group is but one-third of that
for all ages.
Burns, absorption of poisonous
gases and falls constitute the chief
causes of accidents in the home, the
figures show. Burns from boiling
liquids, matches and other inflam
able substances, stoves, heaters and
grate fires, lamps and gas jets were
responsible for 51 per cent of all
burning fatalities aside from those
due to conflagrations. In the case of
gas poisoning, 62 per cent of all
these acidental deaths occurred in
the home. Falls in the home result
ed In 35 per cent of all accidental
deaths in this class during the pe
riod surveyed.
Still another and stranger
group of fatal accidents in the home
occurred from firearms, constituting
12 per cent of all firearm fatalities.
Other accidents came from electric
ity amateur electricians worn-out
insulation and similar mishaps, and
from neglected cuts and bruises.

CABOSITY
Definition: An infectious disease
closely allied to cacoethes rabbleros
ity. History: The disease originated in
the first law making body in the
world's history, and is manifested
especially in state legislatures. Its
principal victims are persons who
utter numerous words without first
undergoing mental processes. There
are several notable examples in the
United States senate.
Ethiology: The exciting cause Is
unknown, although it Is believed to
be a powerful virus. Contributing
causes include the kind-heartedness
of the presiding officer who allows
the victim recognition. Physiolo
gically, this treatment tends to pro
long the illness and make it more
acute. '
Symptoms: The disease begins
with an irritation of the vocal chords
similar to that of epidemic encephal-
ltls. It manifests itself strikingly in
a determination of the victim to be
heard on every subject, regardless of
his lack of knowledge thereon.
Diagnosis: The pathognomonic
6
symptom first shown is when the vie-
tim jumps to his feet, wildly waving
Different in what way?
Different in being made
from rock, not wood,
pulp or paper. It will not
warp, shrink or buckle.
It is fireproof, strong and
rigid. It makes standard,
permanent walls and
ceilings in new con
struction and repairs.

mences to shout, "Mr. Speaker, an
amendment!" His face is flushed,
his eyes revolve rapidly in their
sockets, and if denied recognition, he
often continues this until compelled
by exhaustion to drop back into his
seat.
Differential diagnonis: The dis
ease may be differentiated from sim
ilar forms of mental unbalance by
the pathognomonic symptom. Tho
manifestation of megalomania and
mouthomania often become violent.
the result being a flow of words ut

A Fable Worth Repeating
The story is told of a certain man
who was famous for his industry and
speed in petting things dene, and
who, when hp had the seven year
tch. scratched so industriously that
n three years lie was over wun u.
T'.at is somewhat the s nne program '
hat must he folowed in eradicating I
the small morning glory, Canadian ;
thistle and weeds of that type. These
very serious weed pests, are often i
brought in by means of seed about: sain petition that said real estate
which one does not have purity and j should be sold, and the proceeds put
termination information. Once such lout at interest or invested in some
weeds are established, they can be
eradicated only by hard labor and
special attention to the infested
fields.
In some parts of the state one can i
find from forty to eighty acre fields
practically taken by small morning
glories or bind weed as it is also
lied. Now is the time to be think-
ng of buying seeds for spring plant-
ng. Not only is seed apt to be cheap
er now tnan later, nut good quality
tocks are available and the purchas
er will have plenty of time to get a
germination and purity test run on
t. Remember that the state supports
at the capitol building in Lincoln, an
expert seed analyst who tests seeds
for germination and purity for farm-
rs free of charge. Much trouble and

oss can often be avoided by having!
uch seeds as alfalfa, the clovers and
grasses tested. If you don't think so.

Sudan Stops Washing of Soils
John Gakemeier, of Louisville, has
hecked the small ditches in his field.
As soon as he plants corn, he har
rows these ditches, which he has fill
ed with straw, shut and then uses
the press drill to seed sudan grass.
Ditches which once divided his field
can now be crossed. He has follow
ed this plan for two years.

There are 103 farms in the first
year project in the state. I. L. Mark

of the far east, the attractive Jap
anese lanterns were in profusion
and amidst their glow was seen the
many vari-colored butterflies and
delightful fragrance of the oriental
Incense that added its part to the
general tone of the entertainment.
In the dining room the chairs and
tables had been removed and here
the guests in true Chinese style were
seated on the floor and where they
were served the chop suey luncheon
