Intuition often enables a woman to reach a wrong conclusion. :o: If a man carries a mortgage it is usually because he can't lift it. :o: Some office-holders seem to forget i the time when they were office-seek- ers. -:c: More than half of the Americans who went abroad last summer were women. :o: The book, of nature is always beau tiful.

It is the Stark Brothers nursery at Louisiana. :o: Perhaps the automobile is ruining the younger generation, but the gen eration certainly has ruined plenty of automobiles. :o: Possibly bootleg whisky would be useful in the fuel tank of a motor car, but it is never a success at the steering wheel. :o: An Indiana woman. 95, split three cords of kindling.

The expression, "Hobson's choice meaning to have to take the things that, are offered or nothing, comes from the practice of Thomas Hobson, a liveryman of Cambridge, England, who rented horses and made custom- i ers take the horse nearest the door :o: We recently commented upon the significant fading out of the Wilson influence in the councils and opera- tions of the" Democratic party. J Though naturally attracting special attention the withdrawal of Mr. Mc- Adoo was actually only an incident compatible with a general state of things. He merely retired into the general retirement. i PER YEAR ES ADVAKC1 Never judge the weight of a young widow by her sighs. :o: It is easier to fall in love than to get out of debt. :o: Lowden and Dawes of Iillinois are the Damon and Pythias. :o: The board of health consists of three square meals a day. :o.

Chamorro, Nic aragua now enjoys permanent peace. And, speaking of misnomers we have a flexible tariff. :o: All the football teams are sound ing into midseason shape, and the higher education, therefore, is ap proaching its peak. :o: Men in a Massachusetts church drew up ten commandments for women. You never can tell what men will do in a crowd. :o: Still if Mustapha Kemal can make a seven-day speech without once com paring himself to Julius Caesar, he must be pretty good. :o: Another thing for all of us to worry about: What is Calvin Coolidge going to do for a living when he leaves the White House? :o: The ladies are wearing old-fashioned high-laced boots again, accord ing to style advices from London. But we fear their shins will find them out. :o: Judging from the stories of cen tenarians lately the way to reach old age is to drink wine, abstain from al- cobol, shun tobacco and smoke a pipe -:o:- The British army is going back to red coats, according to a war office announcement. We hope they have better luck with that costume this time. :o: It has been said that Americans are becoming more and more law- breakers. Well, congress is coming. so there will soon be a new supply of laws. :o:- After a survey of the news from that state, we conclude that sor.g writers grow lyrical over Alabama because it is hard to find rhymes f r Arizona. -:o.- I A measure which registers the mi llionth of an inch has been invent. 1. j Probably it will be used to fix t':e i difference of thickness in summ r and wintersilk hosiery. :o: Better get out your gas mask a:d thgt ,t .g gQod workIng ordcr Tfae Mississippi legisiative con- mences in January and congress starts again in December. :o: A prominent Chicago woman says eVery woman can succeed in business which leads us to remark that this muEt be another indication that -w oman is superior to man.

Rupert having annonced that the Yankees will stay pretty much the way they are, we guess that the rest of the American League next year will stay pretty much the way it it. "BRATN WAVES" There is nothing particularly start ing or mysterious about the assertions of the Milan professor who claims that the human brain emits "radio waves," which he has recorded on a sensitive plate and transformed into sound by means of a radio receiver, j If the professor'6 findings are cor rest, as they probably are, they simp ly go to confirm the views now held by many scientists that the whole . nervous system of the human body is electrically operated. Sensations and impulses travel back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body through the nerves, and this natural telegraph is not unlike an electric current traversing a wire, in that in, both waves or disturbances in the surrounding ether are set up which may be detected by sufficiently delicate apparatus. The brain is not essentially unlike the structure of the rest of the body, it is siniDly a more hiehly specialized ' structnre whenever we have an -, n th coo a KifTvt hear a sound or feel anything, our perception or mental process is ac companied by slight chemical changes in the cells of the bodv ci n (1 urn in. Such chemical changes produce elec tricity just as chemical changes do in the inanimate,physial world. It is not surprising if somebody has perfected apparatus sensitive enough to detect these minute changes of electric potential that mut inevitab ly accompany the processes of chem ical decomposition and reconstruction that are necessary to life. It will be a long time, however, if ever, - before anybody clevises an instrument that will give any sort of clue to what mental or physical ac tivity gave rise to any "wave" or set of waves. The experiment does not hold out any hope of being able to read people's thoughts by radio. :o: THE KNAPPS OF NEW YORK While Mrs. Florence E. Knapp was secretary of state for New York, she was centainly good to her folks. Sh had a lot of them to be good to, too. First of all came mother. There were two sisteis, a brother, a sister-in-iav and a nephew. There was yet another who appears on the payroll as Charles B. Knapp. A mysterious person. No mortal eye has ever looked upon him. If there's no objection we'll call him Uncle Phantom. There were others, wholly outside the family circle, with no claim of consanguinity at all, to whom Mrs. Knapp was nobly generous. Th- pp beneficiaries assisted in the taking of the census. What work did they do? There is nothing yet disclosed to war rant the suspicion that they did any work. Nobody around the Secretary of State's office ever saw one of those toilers stoop to the menial level of labor. In the matter of elegant leis ure the lillies of the fieid have nothing on the Knapps of old New York. Mrs. Knapp is no longer secretary of state. She has contributed her woman's mite to the purification of politics and officially passed cn. Why this investigation of her administra tion and who started it are itms that have escaped us. We don't know what they hope to accomplish by this inquiry. But we have a suggestion which the etymologists of America will approve. Change depotism to Knappotism and call it a day. :o: A man was arrested in Southhamp ton, England, for carrying a motor horn and tooting it as he walked across the street.

Perhaps before long some able person will devote his life to a study of it, furnishing a comprehen sive, summary of the part which gambling plays in the life of the peo ple. Insurance companies reduce the element of chance to a minimum. When they insure a person's life, they are not gambling with that sinr gle person, they are backing up their risk with statistics so reliable that the individual represents to them merely a minute part cf a safe, sub stantial business machine. Another form in which gambling appears to have been tamed by mod ern knowledge is on the marts of trade, where manufacturers and pro ducers can. by purchasing futures, protect themselves from cxtreem fluc tuations of supply and demand. Still another example, more ob vious in its operation, is cited in a current issue cf Ntw Yorkej-, mag azine published in the eastern me tropolis. The New Yorker, in ex plaining the operations of betting concerns there, Veils how business and finance interests that might be affected by a change in the govern ment administration protect them selves from losses by placing bets that a certain candidate will win. For instance, if a concern prosper ing under the beneficient wing of the Republican administration sees its profits threatened should the Demo crats come into power cn easy way to insure heavy loss is to place a bee of appropriate size that the Demo crats 11 win. To the conservative business man (and 'conservatives' flourish under the care of the G. O. P.) such a balancing of risks might well appeal. Injecting the bet factor into gov ernment in this manner is. however, dangerous. In fact, the gambling in stinct should be at all times held in check. How to differentiate between legitimate gambling, such as is il lustrated in the farmer's gamble with the weatner. and vicious gambling, is not as easy as it appears on the sur face. What we need is a seasoned guide, one capable of deftly and authoritatively splitting argumenta tive hairs. :o: YOUNG LIVES THROWN AWAY Every year 7.000 children in the United States are mowed down to death in the streets by motor cars. It is like wiping out the entire popu lation of a small city. Reckless drivers are to be blamed. But there are other factors, too, and not the least cf them is parential neglect. Children should be trained carefully to stop and look before dashing across a thoroughfare. There should net be allowed to play in the streets which have be come as dangerous these days as the railroad tracks. They shWld be taught politeness, too, toward driv ers. Often we have seen impudent youngsters crossing the street in the middle of a block, and by their atti tude or words, defying drivers to hit them. There seems to be a trait in all of us to "beat the car across the street." If we see a chance to make the opposite curb, even though there be only cne automobile moving along the street, we are tempted to hurry across ahead of it. Perhaps it is only human. Drivers have a termendous re- sponsibi ity Near schools, or wherever children are congregated, ' the utm jst precaution must be taken to safegtard these little lives, But it doesn't all rest upon the drivers :o:- F0R SALE OR RENT Modern six-room house on paving, , Herman J.

Phillippine Opp was born at Nei- derhausen. Germany on May 8, 185. In early childhood she was christened according to custom in the Evangel ical Lutheran church. This conse cration was confirmed by a personal public confession of Christ at the age of 14. j- iWith her parents she came from Germany to America and settled near Nehawka. Neb., in 1868. On Novem- ber 13, 1870, she married John Nutz ! man and settled on land one mile south of Avoca. As pioneers together : they toiled to buiid a house surround j ed by fruit trees and garden flowers .and grain fields and live stock. To ' get her they raised a family of nine ; children, all of who grew to manhood an'd womanhood before the family j circle was broken by death, (except a child who died in infancy.) The husband and father John Nutzman, passed away in February, 1902, leav ing the farms acquired and improved to the care and good will of his sons. Mother Nutzman left the old home place for her newly built and more modern house in Avoca in 190S. This is turn became the rallying place for the children, grandchildren and , great-grandchildren, especially at Christmas time when there were gen erous gifts for everyone. There are now 4 5 members of this family group. The children now living are: Chris and John Nutzman and Julia Kokjer and Dena Ruge and Edith Maseman at Avoca; Rosa Ehlers at Bertrand; Alf at Lincoln, and Ernest at Roberts, Idaho. Richard, the eldest son, passed away about three months ago. Mother Nutzman was ever mindful of her Christian vows takn in early youth. As she was consecrated and trained for the Evangelical faith, so i her children were encourage d to live j f or righteousness. After her old pas-: tor. Rev. Spriegtl finished his German j Evangelical mission here, she became ja member of the Congregational j church and for many years shared j regularly in its work and wcrship. : The last few years, while unable to ! attend church or hear the service, i she enjoyed the daily devotions, Sun day school lessons and sermons given j over the radio. Four weeks ago. , while on the way to Lincoln to at tend a funeral service for her daugh ter-in-law, Mrs. Alfred Nutzman, she had both limbs broken in an auto accident. With a doctors care she was taken home rather than to a hos pital because she desired to be near her children. After rallyins from the shock and stinging pains she was in a fair way to possible recovery, for the broken bones gave very little trouble. But other complications set in with little chance of mending and the fourth week congestion of the lungs developed so respiration be came heavier tho positive and show ing an unusual vitality. On Sun day. October 9th, in the afternoon a state cf coma prevailed which con tinued until Tuesday night at eleven ths ty-five when, without warning, pain or struggles, the labored breath ing ceased and Mother Nutzman's prayer for release was answered. Throughout the whole sad exper ience a wonderful Christian spirit was revealed with a mother's con cern for all who shared in ministering to her needs. All her .girls and boys, as far as possible, were at the bed side by night and day to assist the doctors and nurses in dressing wounds and relieving pain. She will be erreatls' missfd by the family and numerous relatives and a host of friends in a wide circle. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Congregational church which relatives and friends from many distant parts of the state attended. The sons: Chris, Alf and John, and three sons-in-laws; J. Ruge, J. Kokjer, and H. Maseman, served as pall-bearers. Rev. J. Kelso, the local pastor read a scripture les son and offered prayer. Rev. C. Birch of Weeping Water, read the obitu ary and preached a sermon full of faith, hope and Christian love to overcome "The sting of death." A mixed quartette rendered well some of the old inspirational hymns. The floral tribute was exceedingly choice and expressed a wide range of per sonal esteem. In the long, long pro cession that filed by for a farewell look there were many who lingered long at the-open casket "to crystalize loving memories of kindness received years gone by. A cortege of cars nearly a mile long trailed the hearse to the cemetery west of Avoca where interment was made. After the final words of commitment the large as- Keep Kidneys Active! You Can't Feel Well WTien Kidneys Act Sluggishly. TO feel always tired, lame and achy is too often a sign of improper kidney action. When the kidneys act sluggish ly, waste poisons remain in the blood, and are apt to make one languid, stiff and achy, with dull headaches, dizzines and often nagging backache.

GUESTS FROM PLATTSM0UTH FOR BIRTHDAY DINNER The Courier editor and family had the pleasure of entertaining Mrs. G. W. Mayfield and Mr. and 7irs.
