Its Place in the San The
Base of All Success.
There have been many complaints
regarding the condition of the new
fill on Road 75, south of Plattsmouth,
which have been very acrid. our
city council did splendid work in
giving this short stretch of road this
needed attention, and Mr. E. 11.
Dor.glas states he is doing everything
possible to secure the gravel at the
earliest possible moment, and expects
to have this graveled within the com
ing two weeks. If the city council
can hurry up the graveling (we know
they are anxious to-have this finish
ed) they will do so.
Well, the crowd sure turned out
last night to try and win the radio.
Another big prize tonight at the Le
gion boys carnival.
We are advised that Fred Patzel,
the world champion hog caller, will
give outdoor demonstrations on Main
street tomorrow at 10:30 a. m. and
2:30 and 5:15 p. m. This will give
everybody an opportunity of hearing
his swine-song out doors, where the
clarion voice of the champion will
be heard for blocks.
The creator put a mind into man
to use, and the greatest crime
against our creator is that we re
fuse to use the mind given us, by
thinking with it.
If you are of an analytical mind,
you certainly study those about you,
walking on the street, at circuses, at
the theatre, at dances, in pool halls,
in church, wherever many are gath
ered together.
- If men and women stopped to
think, to weigh, the progress of civi
lization would be instantly benefited.
If we took aa much time to search
out the truth regarding thej problems
of civilization, as we do in criticiz
ing, there would be a rapid advance.
When a man says he is a member
of any religious denomination simply
because his parents were, or a demo
crat or republican for the same rea
son, or a Mason or K. of C for that
reason, it Is evident he has not ana
lyzeit "wny. Thus progress ceases
when we become sheep followers
instead of thinkers and leaders. One
man said to me, "Why, my parents
and my grandparents traded with
Montgomery-Ward; so do I." This
matter had never been given any ser
ious thought by any of this family,
as to the effect of this program on
local conditions, even vitally under
mining the community in which they
lived.
That is why we say the prob
lems of religion and business require
THOUGHT, not just sheep-like fol
lowing in the foottracks of others.

viauais so cioseiy woven into mis

lives. , This city is made up of what?
Merely of individuals!
Sometimes to clarify the atmos
phere, to get away from petty things,
it in wonderful to take a walk on the
river road toward the ferry. Climb
up one of those steep side hills and
sit down and take in the ever-flowing
river and the ever-purple hills on
the Iowa side. The views from Platts
mouth's "eternal" hills are glorious
beyond description and this is es
pecially true along the river road.
Our young folks of today are not
"bleating follow-the-leader" sheep.
They have to be shown the truth, in
religious moral and civic problems
and this spells a glorious future for
coming generations. In other words,
"believing" is being replaced by
"thinking" and "knowing." Plati
tudes by facts; error by truth and
individualism by co-operation in
civic affairs.
If some one had not stopped to
"think," we'd be making "burnt of
ferings" to the Lord, and our churches
would resemble packing plant In
stead of places of worship today.
Which is the better?
A thinker conceived the notion
that the people were the government,
hence responsible for it and today we
have representative government for
the people and by the people If
they care enough about it to vote.
Some man "thought" lie could

KINO ALBERT TAKES
ISSUE WITH F0CH
Paris. Nov. 15. King Albert of
the Belgians and Marshal Foch, gen
eralissimo of the allied forces in the
world war, are at odds on a ques
tion of war facts.
The controversies came into the
open today with the publication of
a letter from the Icing to the mar
shal, dated Saturday, categorically
denying Foch's quoted assertion that
he persuaded Albert not to allow the
Belgians to retreat from the Yser In
1914.
The king's letter replies to state
ments attributed to the marshal by
Stephane Lauzanne in an armistice
day interview printed by Le Matin.
Albert says that when Foch first
called on him. on November 1ft.
1914, his (Albert's) proclamation
that mention of retreat would be
treason was already three days old.
The king admitted that his staff
considered retreat 10 days later but
says that he absolutely opposed it,
and the Belgians held the line.
