The politician who makes a famous
speech that rings around the world
becomes a great man and breaks into
ristory. But the farmer who raises the

claim to be a just and impartial peo
E>le.
The trees in and around the court
house square were all nicely trimmed
this week which greatly improves the
appearance of the trees and square.

the trimming of these trees shows up
the old shack of a court house in
bold relief, which would look much
better if hid behind the bushes.

Earl Taylor is around on crutches

a telephone pole and struck on the
foot. At the time he did not suffer any
pain in the foot and at noon went to
Omaha. That night he found the foot
to be badly bruised and tw*o small
bones in the arch of the foot were
broken. The arch ?was completely
flattened and the injured member has
given him much pain.
Patriotism in Omaha, as all through
Nebraska, is in evidence at present.
The latest expression in the metropolis
is the announcement by many of the
public utilities corporations that their
employees w-ho go into service -will
not lose financially, and that they will
make up the difference between what
the government pays and the salary
of the employee and that his job will
be found waiting for him when he re
turns.—with the hope that all will re
turn. Without exception Omaha con
cerns have announced that all who de
sire to enlist may without losing their
positions and that the places will be
held open. One ambitiops lad passed
up a $300 per month job to enlist.
