WHAT HOPE HAS A SINNER?
If the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the ein
ner appear?
I Peter 4: IS.
-o-.'
He who fears falls.
:o:-
Real work has been started In con
gress. :o:-
It takes a pretty big man to say
just what he thinks.
:o:-
The only time some people lack
nerve is when they need it.
:o-
Reputations would get along bet
ter if the neighbors all stuttered.
:o:
It's easy enough to take a day off.
The trouble is you can't put it back.
-:o:-
It's better to have your shoulder
to the wheen than your back to the
wall.
-:o:-
See the big picture at the Parmele
Theatre. lit is really worth going
miles to see.

Grange signs movie contract and
receives $300,000 for first film. Good
enough, my boy!

The most oppressive inheritance

that get the money.
:o:
Notre Dame breaks with Nebraska
U. Contract called off for 1926. Must
be peeved about something.
-:o:-
Don't wait until the last day be
fore Christmas to select your pres-
ents. Get them now and ease your
mind.
-:o:
You can't fool all of the people all
of the time, as Henry Ford remarked
when he changed the model of his
1925 fliwer. ... . .. . .. . .
-:o:
Experience Is a good teacher, but
some of the pupils are to dumb to
V.earn anything from even the finest
i'-acher in the world.

? Chicago has it figured out that
traffic congestion costs the city $100,
f 000,000 a year. It might almost pay
to install some kind of a system.
"An ideal gift for mother" is the
way an advertiser introduces an elec
tric washing machine. Now, father,
let's see if you're as brave at home as
you talk downtown.
i :o:
It has become Improper to refer
to "Old King Tut" now that it is
discovered that he died at the tender
4 age of 16. And yet there's no doubt
v that he seems older than that.
:o:
i. The police caught a Chicago man

he said he was going to use it to
j flavor his coffee. He could have en
Y joyed his breakfasts for about a
. week, anyhow.

Senate in row over Young La Fol

Christmas is rapidly approaching.

-o:-
Are you thinking of swearing off
this New Year. "What about hootch-
"Then comes cigarettes."
:o:
Coolidge forgot hia fine overcoat
when he left Chicago. However, not
anymore than any other man would
be liable to do.
-:o:
Doctor Butler says education is
'the only cure for crime. That's right.
and may be mixed with a little
church teaching.
I Jardine proposes a general revi
sion of the railroad freight rates. He
says railroads should consider the
value of farm products.
:o:
"Ma" Ferguson has not been more
unwise in any matter than in the
use of the appointive power. Why in
I the name of common sense did she
) select Jim for the post of Governor?
:o:
A scientist says that it is impos
sible for human hair to change color
jover night. It is evident that he
is a sort of specializing scientist who
entirely ignores the peroxide or hy
drogen section.
:o:
The Ohio State Journal, spoaklng
Vof Diogenes and his search for the
honest man, wonders where he got
the lantern, intimating that he stole
it. We are loath to believe that he
i stole it, but we are almost positive
that he borrowed it.
:o:
The Navy is still trying to prove
that Lieutenant-Commander Lans
downe wanted to take a flight which
: he emphatically said in black and
white that he didn't want to take.
Unable to convince anyone else that
Lansdowne was not coerced, perhaps
the navy is trying to convince Itself.
:o:
"There is no such thing as a home
ly woman," says Dr. Carl Loeb,
beauty culturist. All girls have beau
ty somewhere about them and the
only trick is to find it. It used to
be more of a trick than it is now.
Modern costuming has narrowed the
probable hiding places of beauty
down to a relatively small area.
:o:
Congress convened this week. Lucky
people, those Washingtonians. They
live in a sort of over-grown hick
town, yet they are afforded the op
portunity to see the best vaudeville
the country can afford. The Shenan
doah inquiry, the Billy Mitchell
court martial and congress and all
at the same time. Can you beat it?
:o:
Party legends lose their luster.
Party slogans are dull. Party soli
darity grows thin and shabby. Parly
supremacy puffs under the burden of
this vast dominion and diversity of
the United States. That 13 why Pre: '.
dent Coolidge's days of comparati.e
freedom from care are over. Ai.y
other President would be in much
the same case with congress.
Beoutiful is that season which we
call the Christmastide. Very wonder-
ful is it that such a period comes
once a year to a world all wrapped i
in its own affairs. One can imagine
how self fish men and women would j
grow were there not a special time
when thoughts of others would take
precedence over their own desires.
At Christmas self is forgotten in
thoughts of others. There comes a
warm glow, such as is not felt at any
other time. Hearts and purses are
opened to help bring joy, especially j
to those of one's family. j
It is only natural to wish happiness
to those one loves. In so doing a per
son gives pleasure to one's self. Also,
his own generosity is reciprocated by
his friends and the members of his
household.
Eut there is a morq real test of the
Christmas spirit. If one gave only
to his loved ones and friends, the
world would remain wrapped in its
hard old crust. That is really selfish
giving; it is sometimes merely the ex
travagant following of a custom.
The spirit of Christmas shines more
brightly when there is thought of
those who can give nothing in return.
Then only does there come that pure
and unalloyed reward, joy that
springs from doing unto others.
There are those in Plattsmouth who
have experienced such joy. They
know it for its true worth. They
have found it when they have minis
tered to the little children of Platts
mouth those little ones who need
them.
After all, it is the children who
matter most at Christmas time.
Grownups can bear their disappoint-j
ments. There are things which have
come to count with them far more
than gay holiday tinsel. But with a
child, Christmas is the brightest red-j
letter day of all the year. He ac
cepts the simple story of the friend
of children, and who would tell him'
otherwise? He has the unquestion
ing faith that is the natural heritage
of all who are very young and veryj
innocent. In years to come these'
little ones must face the hard places
in life. Very early falls the burden
on these children of the poor. But for!
today, why not let them keep their
faith?
You who talk of Christmas time;'
you who search the shops for some-!
thing pleasing to give those you love; 1
you who are living' at present In'aj
world of tinsel and tissue; you who.
will spend with reckless abandon to
make the season a merry one what '
are you doing for the children of
Plattsmouth? We know what you1
are doing for the child in your home,
but what of these other little ones? '
What are you doing for them? J
Your Christmas this year will not
be worth while unless you, plan some-1
thing to make happier people who are
more unfortunate than yourself
people who do not expect you to be
the source of their happiness
:o:
EASY MONEY
"Never give the boy all the allow
ance you can afford," advises the
Baltimore Sun, adding, "Keep back
some to bail him out." Just a witty
pragraph from the pen of a clever
writer, intended to bring a smile and
them to be forgotten. But in it is
contained the germ of a great truth
and one which, rightly understood,
goes far toward answering at least In
part the question, what's wrong with;
America. Too much spending money .
for the young folks, the boys and'
girls still in their teens, is a mis
taken kindness, the effect of which
is bound to be harmful in the long
run. The money that on has earned,
the sum that one has been forced to
save tediously and laboriously in or-!
der to accumulate. Is usually spent!
to good advantage. Not often does one
fritter away that which one got thru
sacrifice or toil. But in every Amer
ican city today scores, even hundreds,
of young people walk the streets,;
their pockets filled with cash to be
spent as their caprice dictates, and
no questions asked. Is it right? Is it
wise? Is It best?
:o:-
ONE COMFORT
The Christmas treet is an old, es
tablished institution. So it has been
rather disquieting to hear agitation
for a federal law prohibiting the use
of Christmas treets on the ground
that it was depleting our forests.
Now it's comforting to find Ralph!
S. Hosmer, professor of forestry at
Cornell University, declaring that
there's no need for worry. He says
the Christmas tree is a legitimate by
product of the forest, and that judi
cious cuting of these young ever
greens is actually an aid to reforestra
tion. So there's one thing less to worry
about.
-:o:-
This.will never be a true democ-j
racy until every Ford owner Is able
to purchase the most expensive car
on the market.

RALLY, MEN, RALLY!
Bishop Collins Denny, speaking at
Fayetteville, North Carolina, recent
ly, urged all men to raise mustaches.
"That's all the women have left us,"
he says. "They have their hair cut
like men, they wear clothes like men
but they can't raise a mustache. It
is our badge of masculinity."
The bishop is right. Women now
I
look so much like men that high
school flappers are getting on male
quartettes daily, without detection,
and boys are playing on the Daisy
Chair at Vassar without being dis
covered. When Santa Claus visits a home
with two sons and two daughters
this Christmas he won't know on
which bed to place the dolls.
The latest hair-bobbing leaves a
female of the species looking the
same as the male. Only louder and
funnier.
And the men have done nothing
about it. They have added to the
humor of the situation by adopting
trousers that have to be put on over
their heads.
Will the bishop's mustache appeal
save the day?
:o:
According to business statistics, i
the country seems to be breaking
records for orders. And according to
police statistics, breaking records,
they are breaking records for dis
order, also.

When the first automobiles came to Nebraska, it was
the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska that furnished
them with gasoline and oil. The experience and growth
of the intervening years have brought a knowledge of
motor needs and a development of facilities such as no
other organization in the state enjoys.
All this experience and all these facilities are back of
Red Crown Gasoline and make it really the most
economical gasoline you can use. 1 1 is a balanced gaso
line, with just the right proportion of highly volatile
low boiling point fractions to give instant ignition and
quick starting, even in the coldest weather; together
with the higher boiling point fractions that develop
maximum heat, expansion and power.
This means a lean mixture, and the leaner the mixture
the more miles per gallon.
Whenever you need gasoline, pull in at the Red Crown
sign. You are sure of prompt, obliging, courteous ser
vice and full measure of high quality, dependably uni
form gasoline. Get the Red Crown habit and save money.
