He may tackle it. -. :ai The only way some men can get home at night is to be held up. iOi- A man used to be "next" at the barber shop, but he ain't any more. :o: ; The secretary who keeps minutes should always have plenty of time. :o: Many people are attempting to lift mortgage while riding around in it. A strawberry vote now would show a great majority favoring cool er weather. Attenae use to make ub think of spradly, crawly-legged things, but now it makes us think of static. io: When a woman's a little sore on her husband, she often feels she can get even by advising girls not to marry. uu After all. there Is something to be gained by not being famous. You escape having a cigarette or a soap named for you. :oi After all, when you get it figured out, we are all trying to sell some thing to folks we think do not knew as much as we do. iQi Parking In front of the store If she wants to is now consilered as much of a triumph as the social va riety with the average woman. . o : Chauncey Depew at 91 says the world is getting better, and pays hia compliments. His Judgment may be at fault, but his eyesight certainly remains good. Here's how a boy describes having his tooth pulled: "The dentist got a good holt and pulled with all his might, and Just before he killed me the tooth came out." :o: - We enjoy reading and hearing about other people's troubles very largely because it gives us comfort to know there are others who have a still worse time than we do.

He saw some thing about a garment called a "vestee." But it represents nothing new to the editor. It looks to him like a shirtee without any tallee. :o: F. J.

One of the provisions in the new Illinois law for licensing motor driv ers is that the applicant must be able to read English.

Tennessee has enough on Its hando we should think, with its defense cf its anti-revolution law, without try ing to prove that Old Hickory was a mollycoddle We sunpose we shall LWENTIVE PREPAREDNESS In connection with the aircraft argument which because of the Mitchell case is before the people more than at any previous time since the war days, it is interesting to note the war time attitude of both the German and allied " military chiefs the use of tanks in trench warfare. In both camps there was an obstinacy which blocked utiliza tion of this efficient weapon. Trench warfare was the result of Gorman ingenuity and foresight. The Germans were prepared, in 1914, to conduct it and they had heavy guns on hand with which to anni hilate" fcimilar system on the part of the enemy. But beyond artillery their vision was cramped. They tried one idea poisonous gas and it was successful. But in both the German and allied headquarters the tank theory was re fused. Tanks were invented long be fore, pictures of them appeared in magazines shortly after the Boer war. But their first use in the World war came only after Winston Churchill rode over the heads of the high command and forced the manu facture and shipment of tanks to the western front. They were immedi ately successful; the Germans fled and military authorities say if a co ordinated advance had followed the tanks raids the war would have end ed then, in 1916. These are cities as illustrations of the fact that our military men, those who have worked to high places in the army and navy organization, have become molded in a set frame which does not permit the entrance of "?ny originality and which is at heart opposed to any change which will upset carefully drawn plans of warfare. They lag behind invention, around themselves only when a cri sis has threatened. Perhaps later years will show us that in reality General Mitchell sac rificed himself that America might realize this stagnancy of military leadership. But new generals can not be created over night. Nor can veterans who have earned reward be discarded without reason. One remedy might be to have both the army and navy employ a staff of en gineers, such as is employed by the large automobile factories and keep them continually at work investigat ing and exploring the future from the standpoint of defense. Reliance could be placed upon the reports of such a staff. The military men would have recruited, without loss of prestige, the intelligence and vi sion which has won so many battles in the history of the world. :m THE REAL NEED They are proposing to 6pend ?3, 000,000 for an additional office build ing for the house of representatives in Washington, in order that repre sentatives, like senators, have at least two office rooms apiece. As it is, house members "have but one room each, in which to receive visi tors, hold conferences, and house three or four clerks." There was a time, not so many years ago, when congressmen had no offices at all, and no clerks. Each congressmen's reception room was his own parlor, or the parlor of his boarding house. His office was his desk, on the floor of the house of representatives chamber, where he wrote his own letters, by hand, with a pen. His business with the departments he conducted by tramping around to them himself, on his own feet. And yet, there was more atten tion to public affairs, and more rep utation to be made in congress then than now. The new offices are, of course, needed. Modern business methods make modern equipment necessary. But if half aB much attention were paid to modernizing the methods of congress itself as the physical equip ment and assistance of congressmen for their personal work, it might save the people the price of a dozen office buildings in a single week. :o: LIGHTNING The danger of death by lightning is very small. It is almost negligi ble. But not quite. Men are killed by lightning. The season of thun derstorms is at hand, and it is only the part of common sense to mini mize the danger a3 far as possible. Most of those who are killed by lightning are not in their home3. They are out somewhere in the open. Probably they are seeking shelter under trees. The worst possible thing to do in a thunder storm is to snug gle under a tree. Any tree is likely to be the lightning's target, and this is particularly true of trees like the elm which have much sap. The oak, which is a dry tree, is surely im mune. Lightning which "strikes" finds a tree more frequently than it finds anything else. A man in the open is so small a mark that the bolts of Olympian wrath usually scorn to kill so insignificant a thing. WB11 jrpiumx no joints ieos dirt more heat fasle soot-less It will pay you to let u ex plain why the WEIR Fur nace is the best to install in your home. JESS WAB.GA, Dealer Plattsmouth, Neb. A man under a tree which is struck by lightning may escape with only a severe 6hock, but he is likly to be killed by Borne electric prank. It is to be remembered that water is a good conductor of electricity. For this season the 6appy elm Is struck more often than the desiccat ed oak. For this season, too, it is wise for the wanderer in a thunder storm to have his raiment as wet as possible. If one's clothes are dry the lightning is likely to course through the watery fluids of the human body, bringing sudden, complete and Indis putable death. But if the garments are saturated until they are wetter than the body the lightning may fol low them to the earth, ripping and tearing them but not necessarily rip ping and tearing the man within them. Of course the man whose clothing is struck by lightning must suffer a severe shock, but even this Is better than the alternative of be ing surely electrocuted. If you are caught in the woods in an electric storm the best strategy 13 to get out of the woods. The next best plan is to get as wet as possible If there is a brook rather than to wait for the rain to do the wetting Eschew the forest and week wetness Thus you will probably attain old age in spite of the lightning. Be cause the lightning has never struck you it is no safe assumption that it never will. The chances are a mil lion to one in your favor. But there is no sense in ignoring the millionth chance. iOi BROKEN ENGLISH Did vou ever break into the dic tionary and find "break?" Few otli er words give It an even break in definitions. You read columns on "breaks" before you can break away from it. For instance, night falls but does not break; day breaks but doesn't fall. You break silence with a mere whisper. You break a bill with re luctance. Broken promises make broken friendships. Dough is kneaded in a "break" and dough is needed when a bank breaks. Some good people make bad breaks and you can't break them of the hab it. Some fools had rather break their necks than brake their cars. You drink a bottle of hootch and you break the law. If you drop it, you break your heart and the bottle. Break a horse and he will do your will. Break a will and it's a horse on you. Geologically, a "break" in a strat um means a "fault." Logically, a fault in a ladder means a break. We could go on endlessly without breaking down, but had better break off less the printer run short of -e a k s. o A WHITE G. 0. P. The Southern States Republican League held a meeting In Memphis the other day that is of much more than passing significance. The avowed purpose of the organ ization Is to launch a white republi can party in the South, and it is frankly set forth in the by-laws that "only members of the white race shall be eligible for membership." Mississippi was represented in the gathering by George Sheldon of Washington county, prominent law yer and planter, and former gover nor of Nebraska. Plans were for mulated to extend the organization into the various states of the South. As every student of politics veil knows, if the solid South is ever broken, it will happen only when the negro is completely eliminated from political affairs. In other words, there is not a ghost of a show for the republican party to capture a real Southern state while the negro has any form of participation In par ty affairs, and it is in realization of this fact that the Southern States Republican League has ben formed. Just how far it will get remains to be seen. Jackson (Miss.) Daily News. TLe negro caused the war between the North and the South, and the re publican party has been depending upon that vote for success at the polls ever since. And it looks rather strange for them to make this turn, and at this late date throw the col ored brother overboard to shift for themselves and endeavor to make a purely white man's party out of the republican party. Is it too late in the day to try such a scheme. -;o:- "Yes, we are going to celebrate the Fourth," is the important news line in many papers this month. :o: If traffic on the trail to the North Pole becomes much heavier, there will be a clamor to have it paved. :o: Most of the time the average man wouldn't have anything worth while to say if he did talk back to his wife. Some of the folks who distribute litter in, the street seem to have been making themselves thoroughly at home. With the strawberry season on and the baseball season opening, we can manage to make out until the watermelon time comes on. KW- Then again it takes the house cleaning session to bring about that warm combination of a red hot mamma and super-heated papa. 10: NOTICE, LOT OWNERS All persons who have not paid the assessment for 1925 on their lots in the Young cemetery, are requested to do so.
