The day of "2 for a quarter" cig

An increase in wholesale prices is re

Only 15.000 people killed in Amer

The only reason our energetic and
wide-awake reformers haven't tried

Probably the change in Bentiment

Representative Will R. Wood, of

they want to bring that up, Mr.
Hoover hasn't done such an awful

Rain Saturday didn't help the at
tendance at Glenwoods celebration
and compelled postponement of the
Isaac Walton celebration at their
park at Meadow until yesterday. Of
the Plattsmouth people who went to
Glenwood all those reporting say a
good time was had despite the rain,
with plenty of entertainment.

The expanding query: What has
become of the old fashioned gal who
about this time of year "put up" 300
quarts of raspberries, 500 gallons of
peach preserves and a "ton" of apple
butter? Which incited Editor Sweet
to add. "And what has become of the
lady who spent a week slicing apples,
stringing 'em on twine and drying
them in the sun?" Yeah, and what
of the one who spent hours slicing
succulent kernels from corn cobs,
spreading them on a board under a
piece of mosquito netting to dry?
Seventy-five cents out of every dollar spent
for motor repairs and replacement of
parts is caused by incorrect lubrication.
Repair bills are lubrication bills. You
save at the spigot and waste at the bung
hole when you economize on oil by using
low grade oil or running on dirty oil.
New POLARINE is modern in all re
spects flows freely in cold weather holds
its body at high heat is thoroughly de

Consult the chart for the grade? to use

TASTING AND SMELLING
The Methodist Board of Temperance
and Public Morals gives cordial ap
proval to the suggestion of a Massa
chusetts manufacturer that hereafter
prohibition agents be required to test
beverages suspected of containing al
cohol by smell instead of taste.
The idea may have its merits, but
we have a still better one.
Why should prohibition agents be
shown this special favoritism, not
only permitted but instructed to
drink freely of confiscated beverages
before passing judgment on their
contents?
When a moonshine still or boot
legger's cache is raided why not call
in the neighborhood and ask every
body to sample the stuff before de
claring that it is violative of the Vol
stead act?
Surely the judgment of one prohi
bition agent, or even several prohi
bition agents, cannot always be in
fallible, especially it he is required to
substitute the sense of smell for the
sense of taste. The nose doesn't al
ways know. One's olfactory nerves
are often out of whack.
"The requirement that prohibition
agents drink intoxicating liquor in
order to testify to the fact of viola
tion has a deleterious effect on agent
and public sentiment alike," says the
Massachusetts manufacturer.
We'll say it does!
Instead of keeping the poor, hard
working prohibition agent soused to
the gills all the time, driving him to
an early grave, distribute the stuff
freely in the neighborhood where the
confiscation takes place, thereby caus
ing more deaths and hastening the
day when prohibition will really
prohibit, and eliminating the envy
with which the average citizen now
regards a prohibition agent who is
accorded the special privilege of be
ing in a frame of mind ranging from
mild optimism to delirious happi
ness. Any doctor will tell you that the
sense of smell is frequently fallible,
but when a whole community gets
drunk on the spoils of a raid it can't
be wrong.

THOUGHTS WHILE DRIVING
Apologies to Mclntyre
Nebraska's 20-foot paving looks a
lot wider than Iowa's 18-foot ribbon
of concrete our new Oreapolis-Naeve
Park - LaPlatte-Walnut Grove-Belle
vue-A very-Albright route into Omaha
is nothing to write home about No
body wants to give up the auto, but
we surely do need to go back to the
buy cycle the dirt roads are better
than the gravel detours, the detours
are better than the run-down portion
of the main highway, and the run
down portion of the main highway:
well, that's terrible Omaha traffic
to Kansas City it all taking the Shen
andoah-Clarinda-Mary ville route, but
things will be different by and by
when we get our new, wider pave
ment on 75 completed through to the
Kansas line Truck drivers are a bit
more courteous, since they're carrying
around those referendum petitions for
the public to sign They used to say
of a frisky horse "It feels its oats,'
and yesterday a few cars passed us
that it was apparent were feeling
their gasoline A lot of us are in an
awful hurry "going noplace" One
driver who swizzed by at about 55
started holding out his hand just as
he got ahead of us and turned into
his own yard Well, the life of con
crete pavement under heavy traffic
may not be over ten years, but dur
ing all that time the maintenance sav
ing over gravel upkeep ought to be
enough to pay for re-paving Omaha
drivers are becoming a bit less reck
less (maybe it's the scare thrown in
to all of us by tbe new state law)
and by the way. have you taken out
your liability policy yet The law is
to your advantage, if you but realize
it Too many irresponsible drivers
running around in J 10 and $20 sec
ond hand cars who couldn't "cough
up" 30 cents in damages if they run
into you broadsides and wrecked your
thousand dollar car We ought to re
joice at the passage of this law and
the fact that it will tend to force these
irresponsible birds off the highways
The only thing needei to make it
100 effective would be inclusion of
the Massachusetts clause that a man
nust take out the insurance when he
buys his license There iB a wide di
vergence in the price of gasoline, and
an equally wide divergence in the
quality of the "gas." too Remember
the old saying, "You get what you
pay for," and, say. it's as true today
as when Columbus threatened to put
his sailors in irons for "rocking the
boat" Another thing, when you have
a flat tire and are sorely in need of
a little air, you don't drive off to Om
aha to get it at some "cheap" gas
station (some of them don't even have
the facilities to supply their custo
mers with that needed commodity)
so why not buy your gas where you
get your air here at home Speak
ing of gas stations if the number
continues to increase along our high
ways one will never need fear run
ning out of gas. He can just yell
down the road a few hundred feet
and have an attendant serve him
On the "wrong" side of the stock
yards; wonder why that infernal wind
always blows "strong" from the west
Children in street, honk horn as
they scamper away to the curbline
Roadside fireworks stands, another
evidence you can t enforce a law that
isn't popular, the bunting wet and
bedraggled from Saturday's rain
Homeward bound, bright lights, need
of dimmers, someone "gives" you his
and you can't respond because you've
already got yours "tilted" Coasting
into town a welcome sign big let
ters "Plattsmouth welcomes you"
a few jolts on Webster boulevard to
wake you up get the kids awake and
the family out raid the ice box
for a slice of cold ham and a bottle
of (no, you're mistaken, Oswald)
root beer off to bed and dreams of
"doing eighty," driving thru stop
signs and traffic lights with nary a
worry or a care until the old faithful
alarm clock advises that "another
day has come."
:o:
In Nebraska City some people are
arguing against the establishment of
a guarded swimming pool because a
young man lost his life in one at
Tecumseh the other day. He was an
employee, however, and was draining
the pool, being sucked into the outlet
by the rushing waters. For one death
in a guarded pool there are scores of
them recorded in the daily press ev
eryday, occurring in out-of-the-way
lakes and treacherous rivers. Occa
sionally someone dies in bed, but we
don't condemn sleeping on that ac
count. -:o:
Holidays are always a happy occa
sion, affording opportunity for get
together reunions and picnics in quiet
places for removed from the hustle
and bustle of modern day life. Now
adays people don't go in so much for
a celebration, the crowding and push
ing required to see anything and the
like of that. Besides, it takes a lot
more nowadays to amuse or thrill
people than it did in the horse and
buggy days.
