The limbo of the government attic is yawning for those useless bu reaus. :o:- It's Just as natural for a lot of us to want things as it is for us not to get them. About 85 per cent of the farm houses in the United States are still heated by stoves. -:o:- Evidently wealth is guilty.'

Western trainmen move for return of war-time wages. When it is as much as the railroads can do to live now? to: That's the way some people are; complain, complain, all the time. Six weeks ago they complained be cause it was too hot. :o: A personal advertiser offers 2 reward for information concerning the whereabouts of a friend who is a barber. Owing to the abundance of barbers, we suppose, he doesn't feel Justified in offering the usual 1 5.

It produced America's most beautiful girl. :o: What this country really needs is a lot of rocking chairs with the old-fashioned squeak. :o: In other days when a person was run down he took a tonic, but now he takes an ambulance. Most of us have decided we are ! going to pay the doctor bill we owe if we ever get out of debt. :o: The principal objection to ex planations is that so many of them themselves require explaining. :o: The Irish Free State has an army of approximately one thousand offi cers and sixteen thousand men. -:o:- One nice thing about these soft collars is the laundry can't sharpen 'em as they did the other variety. :o: Secretary Mellon says all muisance taxes should be repealed.

That's the kind of a "melon cut" that everybody will be for. -:o:- An Atchison man says, if Moses had been a woman, he would have written one hundred commandments instead of ten. -:o:- Well, everybody ought to derive a great deal of satisfaction from the fact the St. Louis whisky steal was at least bi-partisan. :o: The prohibition officials are pad locking "supper clubs" in New York, but nobody will really be deprived of any food thereby. :o: It must make an oyster feel like champing its teeth with rage to hear people say, "this is an 'R month, let's have some oysters." :o:- Looks like Florida who has been advertising herself as the home of the artful tax-dodger may have some trouble in delivering the goods. According to Washington statis tics the average American consumes only half an apple a day.

The reason given is better ru pervised control of traffic in the larger cities. :o: Considering the expressions that find their way into full print now adays, the writer who clouds his ex petives in asterisk and dashes must be trying to say something awfully bad or awfully tame. :o: Contradictory to the belief that lightning does not 6trike twice in the same place, the dome of the capitol in Washington has been struck 50 times, but of course, under different administrations. :o: One fashion authority says sixty pairs of shoes are necessary for the well-dressed woman's wardrobe. Yes, and. at the end of the season the only way to tell 'em apart is by the ten nis court dirt on the sport's 6hoes, the ball-room du6t on the dancing slippers, and the 67 kinds of dust and spots on the street shoes. 51125 1 Saike n Jbr'over warprkes -. - :- -. -.. . A GREAT CHANCE Indiana's governor has given the Democrats of that state a very good chance. By appointing Arthur Robin son, an unheard-of citizen of Indiana, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Ralston, Governor Jackson has started a dickens of a row in the Republican party in that state. The Indiana governor turned down various Republican aspirants for the vacancy, men of very groat and of ordinary distinction, to give the appointment to a personal friend, one who, so it is surmised in some political circles, will step aside at the proper time and permit the gov ernor to satisfy his ambition to be a United States senator to be a can didate, at least and that's about all, provided the Republicans in Indiana keep on rowing and splitting their party into irreconcilable factions, as they have done in the past, and the Democrats make the most of the chance that Is presented. The appointment of Robinson, evi dently, was not made on merit, al though the disappointed Indianapolis News seems to think that he "will average very well with the average senators," concluding the sentence with this phrase "for there are men in that body with whom he will com pare favorably." To this the News adds: "Names of many others, some of whom had attained a high degree of statesmanship, were presented to the governor for his consideration, but there was never any great chance apparently that the appointee would be anybody other than Robinson." Think of it! The once high and mighty Beveridge was turned down. So were other Republicans of admit ted ability and political strength. To say that the personal friends and political adherents of these Republi can worthies are "fighting mad," is to indicate the situation mildly, or inadequately. Meanwhile, the Demo cratic sage, at French Lick Springs, nods. But Tom Taggart never sleeps, although his eyes may be closed for the time being, while inwardly he smiles. It is only reasonable to as sume that at the proper time he will have something to say to the Demo crats of Indiana and work a-plenty for them to do by way of electing a Democrat to the place so recently occupied by that other able Demo crat, Senator Ralston. -:o:- It's about time for the usual Thanksgivin pictures of the Old Pil grim Fathers out gunning for turkey with a bell-muzzle blunderbuas. In fact, the Thanksgiving pictures are already creeping into the clothing ads., only the pilgrims are carrying wide-mouth megaphones into the stadium. And the modern pilgrims are not exactly Puritans; maybe some of the old ones weren't either. :o: How would the great statesmen get under way in his orations if there had never been two Irishmen named Pat and Mike?

PHONE 229 Soennichsen Building 5 lears There is tremendous activity in dealings on the Stock Exchange these days. Prices of stocks are going up. Many speculators believe that the prices of stocks will double in the future. Let us give these speculators en couragement. The prices of stocks will surely double. No one can set any definite date for the doubling process, but it will surely come around. Those gambling in stocks with limited capital will lose. They al ways must. Because, in all advanc ing markets, there comes a time when it is beneficial to the big gamblers to shake out the little ones. This process is called "making the mar ket healthy." The big gamblers control the daily fluctuations of stock prices. A dozen bank presidents and big operators can effect a sufficient change in the figures recorded on the ticker on any given day, to wipe out the foolish ones who bought stocks on a shoe string. A thousand bank presidents in co operation, with biggest stock, gamb lers could not, however, affect the trend of security values in the long run. Because, in the long run, values are fixed by the public's desire to buy or sell. But disaster comes to those who gamble in stocks on a narrow margin without possessing sufficient re sources to hold on for the long run. The reason that all stocks will double is that the United States of America is doubling. It is doubling in population, in output, in absorp tion of its own products. Every well conducted business is growing and prospering. Its profits are increasing. Ultimately they will double. If you invest your money in a fine kind of company, your stock is bound to double in its price its mar ket price. As far as material prosperity is concerned, this country is safe. It will grow. And all the enterprises within its bounds will grow with it. One thought, only, the writer wishes to present. ou buy a share of good stock for $100 and you receive $5 every year for your investment. The com pany grows and you find that your share o stock is selling for $200. And you are receiving $10 for every year. You imagine that you are be coming wealthier. You mustj remember, however, that where you formerly paid the laundry 3c for a collar you now pay 6c. Where you formerly paid the cook $5 a week, you now pay $10 a week. Everything is doubling. Laun dries, cooks, the landlords and the butchers. All Americans keep apace with the glorious, economic prosper ity of America. The sore spot comes when you realize that $10 today does not amount to any more than $5 did twen ty years ago. And $20 a few years from now will not bring you more than $10 does today. All of .which is sad. But cannot be helped. :o: SEVEN YEARS AGO The republic of Cecho-Slovakia is economically and politically one of the stablest states of Europe. Yet this state is only seven years old, is form ed of peoples closely related by blood but long politically separated, is de prived of the inestimable advantage of a seacoast, and is surrounded by nations, some of which are extremely unsympathetic. Now the seventh an niversary of the birth of the Cecho Slovakian republic, is proudly ob served, not only at home but also by men and women of Bohemian, Mora vian and Slovakian origin through out the world. Less than a month ago Dr. Vilem Pospisil came to Washington to ar range for the funding of the Cecho Slovakian debt to the United States. He presented an estimate which fix ed the debt, including principal and interest, at $107,000,000. By Amer ican accounting the amount was $117,000,000. The Cecho-Slovakian representative, while expressing his confidence in the accuracy of his es timate, at once proposed a compro mise at $115,000,000. This was ac cepted, details of funding were ar ranged without haggling, and the Checo-Slovakian mission was on its way back to Prague after three days of negotiation. It was a striking ex ample of Cecho-Slovakian directness and efficiency. Cecho-Slovakia was born fifteen days before the armistice of 1918. Only the energy, the enlightenment and the high intelligence of the Cecho-Slovakian people can account for the almost incredible progress that has made the republic today one of the world leaders in finance and In ternational politics. :o: John D. Rockefeller, Sr., contin ues hia utter indifferences toward public feeling and is said to be writ ing another poem. Henry Cabot Lodge is dead, but his hatred and his vindictiveness still live; their noxious breath is felt in almost every page of the post humous volume which he dedicated to his enmity for Woodrow Wilson and, the League of Nations, an en mity not for the league itself, but because it was the emboriment of Wilson's ideal as an instrument of peace. Woodrow Wilson is dead, and the hymn of hate that comes from the grave of the Massachusetts Sen ator can do him no harm nor can it detract from his fair reputation as a world builder at atime when the world was frantically engaged in tearing itself to pieces. Both have passed on to such rewards as may await the results of their labors here. It would be a futile thing for the friends and followers of either to continue the controversy which was used by Senator Lodge to fan post war political hatreds, and which wrecked the life and hopes of the war President. It is worth while, however, in the light of present events In the Near East to consider the posthumus statement of Senator Lodge that the League of Nations is a wholly futile thing. Developments of the last few days give the lie to that declara tion from the grave. Bulgaria and Greece have been practically at war. Each is said to have occupied ter ritory of the other. Just why they are at arms, neither has been able to explain satisfactorily, but given the same conditions that existed then it is as dangerous a situation as that which precipitated the World War. If the League of Nations had existed then thatwar might never have been foght. The League has not been idle in the last few days. Athens and Sofia were given twenty-four-hours warning to sease hostilities and to withdraw within their respec tive borders. It was a supreme test for the league but it is written there is every reason to believe that the quarreling nations will fully yield to the tremendous pressure that has been put upon them, and a danger ous conflagration in Europe's cock pit was averted. The League wins, its victory is a happy complement to the recent peace developments at Locarno; even if it does not receive the full measure of compliance with its demand, its action will have justified its existence, for the knowl edge that there is such an interna tional body to which the differences of nations may be taken, for ami cable adjustments, and the further assurance that a flaunting of its au thority must bring down on the of fenders against the world's peace, world-wide disapproval and reprisals, will prove a stabilizing factor and help to make war remote. And thus the living write their own refutation of the dead Senator's last filing which was penned not In faith, but in personal hatred and political bit terness. :o: OUR SHYLOCK HOLE. It is reported by David Lawrence, a reliable political observer, that the United States Government has no tified private bankers that it will look with disfavor upon loans to those foreign Governments which have not yet settled their war debts with this country; likewise, upon loans to cities in those countries or to industrial enterprises in which debtor Governments have an inter est, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This species of coercion is partic ularly unfortunate at this time, when Europe is unsettled both politically and economically, and, far from be ing in a condition to pay enormous sums to the United States, is look ing to this country for funds to tide it over a dangerous period. It em phasizes the view now generally held in Europe that this country is a Shylock. If the United States were in dire need of money, Its position could be justified. But we, who suffered far less than the other Powers in the war, are enjoying enormous prosper ity. Our national debt is being re tired at a swift rate, and our Na tional Treasury has rolled up large surpluses. While citizens in debtor countries are being called upon to pay heavier and heavier taxes, we are experiencing a, steady relief from war-born imposts. In these circumstances, to pinch France and other nations by placing an embargo on foreign loans is an act not in keeping with justice and fairness. Moreover, even its wisdom may be questioned. Trying to get money from impoverished Europe is almost like trying to draw blood from a turnip. To cut off one of Europe's few sources of financial relief is to retard the work of post-war recon struction. Instead of using coercive methods to collect) war debts, this Government would be much wiser to take an en tirely different attitude toward the whole question.
