An Irish bachelor is dead at the

It's a cruel world. When the girls

When a girl has a lot of beaux,

A scientist declares that of all the

Someone says that Charlie Dawes

If he means by this that Charlie has
not made a point yet, we have

Anyhow, when the Chinese civil

A New York woman advises the

A Massachusetts man married a
pretty waitress. In the following
year she purchased two new suits a
week 104 in the year. This comes
out at the divorce hearing. Appar

Cinderella though only for a year.

Inflated prices have been reduced
considerably. There'll be more re
duction, by waves or cycles, as the
years slip by. The next major move
ment or cycle in industry will be de
flation of capitalization. Already it
is becomirg necessary and unavoid
able. Many industries have seen the
light and acted. A business that
valued itself at -$200,000 In the
boom, but worth only $100,000 now.
Is not going to be able te earn on
the high basis during sharp competition.
-o:o-
The iron and steel industry with
in another fortnight or month will
probably have recovered sufficiently
from the depression to be producing
at a rate of 75 per cent of capacity
or full-time operations. But the
steel industry over-built during the
war booms. Its capacity now is half
greater than before the war. This
giant industry, wailing because it is
operating at 60 per cent of capacity
now, is actually producing as much
as in 1913. The nation still meas
ures by comparing with war-time in
stead of peace-time.

It is said that labor is worthy of
!'s hire. We have for some time
been watching the movements of Doc
Bar.din of the fire department. This
part of the city affairs has not
amounted to very much until re
cently, and now Plattsmouth can
boast of ore of the most efficient
f re companies of any city of Its size
in Nebraska. Doc Sandin has devot
ed considerable of his time to make
it so and deserves recompence for his
valuable services. We don't know
what salary he gets, or whether he
gets any or not, but we know he de
serves a pretty fair ealary, 6ay about
$300 per year. He is a practical
man in tht busines and ie always on
the lookout for debris and stuff that
causes fire.

Massachusetts now forbids the
placing of silhouettes of bathing
girls on windshields of automobiles,
as tending, probably, to distract the
attention of the drivers. The aver

anyway.

It is not discontent that is the
primary reason for assaults on our

General Pershing has been invited
to Join a wild west show and also
to be a moving picture actor. Nei

"The Cocksure Claim of Victory

republican generally began accepting
the newspaper victory as a Novem

very uneasy about New York and
California.
Fall Is coming. One can feel it in
the air these mornings, a dash of
crispness that has been missing many
weeks. It is reflected in a revival
of spirits that have sagged under
pressure of torpid mis-summer.
Things are brightening up a bit;
there are school books to buy and
numerous little alterations such as
are necessary at every change of
season.
-Nature soon will don new gar

will be changed. To return to light

It isa good change. New clothes

more self respect. And -then of

The number of Americans work
ing on farms has increased 15 per
cent since 1900. But they are grow
ing 40 per cent more food. The fig
ures are furnished by the expert, Da
vid Friday. Scientific agricultural
methods, all the way from commer
cial fertilizer to tractors, have more

power on the farms. The country.

An Alabama man fled his home 22
years ago, thinking he had killed a
man. All these years he has kept
under cover, suffering the tortures
of remorse. Recently he learned that
the man he shot recovered and lived.
His soul paid a price for something
he didn't do. This victim of fate's
irony involves interesting problems
in philosophy. For instance, If a
man tries to murder an enemy and
his crime is frustrated by his carU
ridges being blanks, is his intent as
evil as the actual deed The law says
not. evea tboufh tie man did every
ihivg in his power to accomplish tht
killing.
'I car not to eit in the scorner's seat
And hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live In the house by the side
of the road f
And be a friend to man!"
And after all, isn't that the best
policy?
Sooner or later all of us will come
to the end of life's highway, our
tasks finished, our courses run. And
when we are lowered into the final
resting place what will our former
associates say?
Some of us will be lauded for
things we did while we were here-
for the vast amount of the world's
riches we gathered for our abilities
to make speeches, for honesty, knack
to make friends and what-not. Oth
ers of us will be passed over with on
ly a few things said about us, a few
perhaps because there will be noth
ing much to say.
But the greatest tribute that can
be paid to one who has passed be
yond is that he was a "kindly man,"
an individual who had been a friend,
a comforter to 'his fellow man down
through the long years of existence.
Are you a "kindly man?" Will
they say it about you yhen you have
passed on? Are you living your life
in a manner that not only you btu
all who come in touch with "you will
be bettered as the years roll by?
The world needs more individuads
of the kindly type, more people who
are ready to lend a helping hand, to
say a comforting word, to do a
friendly deed in time of suffering
and sorrow. Whenever there are
more individuals of that type the
world will become a better place in
which to live and a whole lot of
petty quarrels, hypocrisies and jeal
ousies will be forgotten and over
come.
Are you doing your part to make
the world better? Start out today
to be a "kindly man."

Along about Thanksgiving day in
in the year 1845, in Iowa county,
Wisconsin, Charles H. Kirkpatrick
was born, and where' he went to
school during the winter and worked
on the farm during the summer un
til he was grown up and then after
a few years of farming he came west
and for one season worked on a farm
some sixty or seventy miles north
west of Saint Louis, and along fol
lowing the civil war, came to Cass
county and with a brother S. C. Kirk
patrick, entered each eighty acres of
land three miles west of the present
site of Alvo, and after having re-
' mained on the place for some three
years, the brother S. C. Kirkpat
rick who had been a soldier in the
civil war, returned to the east when
he had put in enough time to prove
up on his eighty. Mr. C. H. Kirk
natrick, the subject of our story,
remained and stuck, and purchased
other lands until he has now three
eighties, on which Mr. Glen Lewis Is
and has been farming for a number
of years. Mr. Kirkpatrick was unit
ed in marriage in l878 to Miss Anna
Lytle, who died in 1919. Again in
1921 Mr. Kirkpatrick married
this time Mrs. James J Barrett, wh
also was a homesteader with her
former husband James Barrett, com
ing here in 1869, Mr. Barrett having
died a number of years ago. The
home of Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick
was never blessed with any of
snrings. and during the married
life of Mr. Kirkpatrick with his firs
wife they adopted and reared three
girls one of whom has died. Mr,
Kirkpatrick wns a member of the
Local Grange, but of no other society
or church. He saw Alvo incorporat

it grow and has known every body
who ever lived here and has done
his portion to make Cass county
