After reading an article in > the Ma sonic Voice Review under the signa ture of D. Frank Peffley, with the head line. “Word to Young Men.” i cannot refrain from asking you to publish the following: ' "Remember, son. that the world is older than you are by several years” says a writer in Algeria. “That thou* ands of years it has been so full of smarter and better young men than yourself that their feet stuck out of the dormer windows: that when they died the Old Globe went wagging on. and not one man in ten million went to the funeral or even heard of the death. Be as smart as you can of course, know as much as you car. without blowing the packing out of your cylinder heads: shed the ligh, of your wisdom abroad in the world but don't imagine a thing is so simri’t because you say it is. Don't be too sorry for our father because he know* so much less than you do. “The World has great need of young men but no greater need than the young man have of it. Your clothes fit you better than your fa ther's fit him. they cost more money, they are more stylish. Your mustache is neater, the cut of your hair is bet ter. you are prettier, oh. far prettier than pa. "But young man the old gent gets the biggest salary, and his homely scriWing signature on the business end of a check will drain more money out of the bank in five minutes than you can get out with a ream of pa per and a copperplate signature in sis months. “Young men are useful, and they are ornamental, and we all love them, and we couldn't engneer a picnic without them but they are no novelty son. Oh. no. nothing of the kind. They kave been there before. Don’t be so modest as to shut yourself clear out but don’t be so fresh you will have to be put away in the cool to keep from spoiling. Don’t be afraid that your merit will not be discovered. People all over the world are hunting for you and if you are worth finding they will find you. A diamond isn’t so eas ily found as the quartz pebble, but people search for it all the more in tently.—Broken Bow Republican.

The wonderful prosperity and growth of this section is reflected in the unusual development of business in Omaha during the year just closed. With bank clearings of a billion and a quarter, far exceeding the expecta tions of the most optimistic, business in general followed the same course. Every previous record of Omaha was broken in 1916. The live stock market had its greatest year, assert ing itself in no uncertain way as the second live stock market of the Vnited States and the first real Simon Pure primary market. Omaha crowded Kan sas City into the background most decisively with receipts of more than seven million head, as fallows: Cattle, 1.434.11S head: hogs. 3.117. 105 head; sheep. 3,170.206 head; horses, 27.461 head. The packing house output showed a corresponding increase, the value of its output this year being $149,000,000, a gain of more than thirty-four mil lions. almost inconceivable. Manufacturing crept up more than $26$,000.000. a gain of fifty-five million. I while jobbing and wholesaling showed i a like increase, the gain being thirty ; two millions. Every line of business showed in creases of from twenty to forty per cent. Increased volume, increased prices and increased intensive working were the factors which contributed to the wonderful development. With all this money going to the citizens of the Omaha trade territory, the metropolis can wish all a Happy New Tear, based on mutual profit and pleasure.
