The two things that look most ex quisitely sanitary are porcelain and a bald head. Have you gone on a trip yet? Bet ter save your money for winter and stay at home. ror- All of the cures for sunburn are very good but none of them seem to be good enough. rot Every time the telephone company installs another telephone it just brings on more talk. ror We often wonder if the jazz band director really gives the signal for the players to act that way. ror As a rule, to say that a man has the leading role in a community is to say that he has the leading roll. :o: Our water boys are good ones. They fear no competition. Platts mouth is proud of its water com pany. :o: We have reached the point where the canny motorist carries a bicycle along so he can ride to work after he finds a place to park. Ah. this is the kind of weather that makes the ice man and the ic-e cream venders wear a smile that you could pin behind their ears. ror Three million swindlers are oper ating in the United States, according to a New York investigator. And poor old Jesse James was a piker. ror The crowd on the Fourth was not near as large as that a year ago. What was the matter? A beautiful day and every thing appeared pro pitious. ror Still "hotter than h !" Some people say. Some of them will have a chance to find out one of these days bow hot that is if they don't mend their ways. ro: The advantages of being a veter an publicist is apparent in the case of William Jennings Bryan. In the case of the frienzied scramble for publicity at Dayton, Willie still get ting all the biggest pieces. :o: Jack Dempsey is howling about having to pay f 6,000 income tax in Germany after making $28,000 in less than two weeks. The boys who showed the Germans how to fight over there a few years ago for $1.26 per day didn't howl about what they were paying while Jack was over here. PEE YEAS IN ADVANCE Sunburn brings the skin you hate to touch. -:o: It's a wrong road that has no turn ing back. -:o: The differences which cause most trouble are differences. -:o: The mosquito's favorite slogan is "A skin you love to touch." :o:- The girl of today isn't so inter esting as the girl of tonight. -:o: Love thy neighbor, but be not too friendly with borrowing his goods. ror The world's most absent-minded tractor is no more.

"Just so's it's a good, snappy game." ror A scientific item says that among those who use extremely fine wires are surgeons and dentists. And poli ticians. -ror- Possibly one thing the matter with this country is that too much of its business is done on the "F. O. B. De troit" basis. Japanese in Honolulu own 4,250 automobiles, mostly made in Detroit. Who said the Japs weren't capable of Americanization? Our forebears, who used the ex pression, "Slower than the seventeen-year itch," never heard of a road contractor. :o:- What has become of that word which was to crush all the criminal instincts of the race and purify the citizens "Scoff law?" :o: When it is very warm the ice man and all the other Coolidge are the luckiest mortals in the United States. It is then that warm-hearted fel lows ought to sour. :o: They say the 5-cent shoe shine is coming back in New York. With a profitable sideline like bootlegging, the shoeshine parlors ought to mak? money, even at that. :o: Discovery of a new portrait cf Rembrandt painted by himself elic its the information that he painte 1 forty-eight authentic canvasses r f this kind and nobody knows ho". many unauthentic canvasses. ror Massachusetts has elected a woman to congress, which isn't surprising, considering that she is the widow cf a member-who died in office. Tho lurprising thing is that a man could be found to run against her. -ro: The world's champion pessimist is the fellow who denies that there is no relation between him and a mon- fkey. It seems to us as if he might be in contempt of court. These high tribunals are no places for cracking , jokes. -:o:- A movement of religious intoler ance purporting to have no connec tion with the Ku Klux Klan. a little broader in scope than the klan. but more 6ubtle and lees obstreperous and violent in its methods, is now rally ing around the so-called "Creed of Christian Citizenship." "Americans Won't Wait." This striking topline appeared re cently in the advertising columns of a metropolitan paper. Americans have never waited. Ee cause they have never waited for precedent, because they have been less bound by the ropes of tradition than older peoples, because it is American temperament to move swiftly, we have come far. Perhaps the time has come in our national history when waiting would be wise. We have developed the amazing agencies of production and distribution as they have never be fore been developed in the world's history. We have reached a point in our astonishing industrial civilization never dreamed of by the ancients. The time has come for the devel opment of another sort of civiliza tion. The ancients unlike us in scientific progress set high and un reached marks in art, literature, austhetics, the fine art of living. And at their best they equalled us in moral behavior. The sort of civilization which is not industrial is not a racing propo sition. The slogan "America won t wait" has nothing of interest for that finer civilization which is not industrial and which is a product of refined attention to detail, of pains taking application to the study of perfection and of leisure. The civilizations of the past wej-e the products of leisure: Slaves pro vided the leisure for the cultivated classes. Thus the calsses became more cultivated. Today we are substituting machine slavery for human slavery. Properly managed, our affairs will give us new leisure letisure for the cultivation of the mind and the taste. A civilization must have a soul or it is a mere piece of mechanism which produces certain results. "Americans won't wait." Perhaps Americans should wait longer. -:o:- NEED BUSINESS 3HETH0DS President Coolidge once more re quests the shipping board to dele gate the business and running an1 selling the ships to the emergency fleet corporation, and, once again, it promises to do so. So the president holds in the back ground the remedy of abolishing the board entirely and putting the fleet corporation under the department of commerce. Doubtless the shipping board, if it would function as it has a dozen times pretended to agree to do, could useful for a long time. But it seems beyond the self con trol of a certain type of bureaucrats really to delegate power. That is the way business has to be run. and unless government can learn to do that, government must keep out of business, or find some way to run it without bureaucrats or politics. There is not a member of that shipping board who would ruin his own business those of them that ever had any business to run the way the majority of them have in sisted on running the public busi ness. -:o:- THE THREATENED MINE STRIKE According to the "dope" at Swair.p scott there is not going to be any Coolidge myth in connection with the threatened anthracite strike, which may extend a bituminous in dustry. Action toward peace in the mines and continuation of produc tion, it , is said will be taken before a break occurs. The recommenda tions of the late coal commission, which made a full investigation on the occasion of the last strike are now available and if necessary, con gress can be called in special session to act upon them. A strike or threat of strike would be an ill wind not without its bless ing to the business. The over devel opment, especially in the bituminous fields, is so enormous that normal demand cannot approach available supply. The real gains of the busi ness since 1914 have been made on war and strikes. The present threat of strike, however, though it would doubtless liven the market, is not as serious as it might be, for present production is coming largely from non-union fields. :o: CANNED BY THE KLAN A number of members of the Den ver Ku Klux Klan have been sus pended, among them United States Senator Means. The report does not intimate what deviltry they were mixed up in. For all we know they may have been caught red-handed reading the Constitution of the United States. :o: The flintrock musket has passed on along with earmuffs and the rubber- tired buggy, and the world has pro gressed in many other ways, but it seems that we can't get away from the. custom of eulogizing the depart -(ed whom nobody liked while living. HOT BLAST Firepot This special patented feature, found in no other furnace, burns the coal gases and prevents the formation of soot. It actually pays for itself by saving tons of fuel each year. Your home will be more comfort able and fuel will po farther if you install a Vs OS. Come iu and let us explain the fire pot and many other quali ties of the famous WEIR furn ace.

Use one ounce of sodium floride or 3 level tablespoonf u!s to a gallon of luke warm water. Disk Behind the Binder. Disking behind the binder saves moisture by killing many of the weeds, by looseing up the soil so the rain soaks in, and by closing up tho tracks that may have formed. If a farmer has many acres to Tall plow disking behind the binder will keep the ground from getting to dry to plow. It will turn better and the seed bed will be packed more if the top soil is turned over loose. Farm ers who harvest with a tractor can hitch the disk behind the binder. Other farmers with plenty or hourse power can do the same or put a boy on the disk to follow dfrectly behind the binder. Even in the rusn of har vest, the practice pays for the extra labor and time. Try it. Salt Them. Salt for pigs only after they are grown is as practical as flowers for people r.fter they are dead. All farm animals need salt. It whets their appetites, stimulates their digestive glands and aids in preventing diges tive disturbances. It is a promoter of general good health and vigorous growth. The habit of keeping a sup ply of salt before farm animals all the time is a fine one for every live stock owner to acquire. An irregular supply induces over , eating which often results in digestive disorders, and. in the case of hogs, may cause death from salt poisoning. Renewing the Old Strawberry Bed. If the old strawberry bed is to pro duce a good crop of berries next year it should be renewed immediately after this years crop is harvested. The first step in renewing Is to cut the foliage with a mower or scythe. After the foliage is dry It may be burned off n a windy day when the ground is wet or the foliage and mulch may be raked off and burned. In this way insects and disease are gotten rid of. The next step is to thin out the plants. If the patch is small, the plants may be thinned with a hoe. leaving a vigorous plant every 9 or 12 inches. The plants that are left should be given good growing conditions. The soil about them should be hoed and the spaces be tween the rows cultivated. A ten" dressing of well rotted barnyard manure ought to be given if the soil is not naturally rich. Where the planting is arranged for team labor, renewing is done by lowing out the space between the rows and one side of the original matted row, leaving a strip of plants 6 to 10 inches wide. If you want a farm loan, it will pay you to see John M. Leyda, Gund building, Plattsmouth, Neb., phones 42 or 91. lmw-lewd ORDER OF HEARING on Petition for Appointment of Administrator.
