Dittmar’s FALLS CITY, NEBRASKA The Point in Question THE KINDLY CRITIC The opening day of the public schools (Monday) was rainy and disagreeable, but it takes more than a September downpour to dampen the ardor of the aveTage boy or girl the first day of school; there is a prevailing enthusiasm upon that day among the young seekers after know ledge that moisture cannot quench, so with umbrellas, rain coats, cloaks and nimble feet the coming genera tion hurried along our streets in answer to the call of the "first bell," and in race track parlance, one could say, "they're off, all in a hunch, and running easy.” Among them might he a future president of the United States—you can't tell. There might hi' a /Took or a Wright or a llonus Wagner—tlo one knows. Out of that bunch of laughing girls there might emerge a Frances Willard, a Melba, an Ida M. Tarbell or a George Eliott. You never can tell. Nebras ka can produce almost anything, front alfalfa to presidents, from rich cream to consorts of rulers of the land. "Music hath charms to soot lie the savage breast.” That may be true. The savage breast might possibly be soothed with the inharmonious clang of brass and cymbals, but to the ear attuned to sweet sounds this same discordant disturbance might cause a nervous collapse. This fact is il lustrated in a graphophone. The proud possessor of one of those tor turous boxes winds the same up and places his records therein without a thought of the feeling of his neigh bors. From Ids vantage ground his "savage breast” is soothed, but how about the fellow outside of the zone of symphony and melody? The savage breast swells with indignation as the strains of "In the Good Old Summer Time,” or "Harrigan, That's Me," floats out upon the night air to disturb the more melodious bark of tile dog or the croak of tin1 tree frog. t "My wife was what you would call slightly 'riled' Sunday,” remarked a business man, anif he seemed to en joy telling the joke, tut he called it. "You see, the idea or the plan of this day and age is exclusiveness in wom en’s apparel; that is, to illustrate, when a merchant selects (Tis fall stock of women’s suits, he selects no two alike—each and every pur chaser has a monopoly in a color or design, and enjoys this distinct ion. My wife bought a suit last week, and if I do say it, she looked like a queen to me, after we got it buttoned and geared, and when she asked me to go to morning service 1 acquiesed gracefully;and I didn't look so rotten bad myself after a little cuffing and benzine work. Well, sir. we hadn't been in church long before my wife showed signs of un easiness and nervousness, and I was really glad when the service was over. 'Look at that, said my wife, nodding towards a woman she has always disliked. And then I under stood. A strange thing had happened —two suits exactly alike had been brought to town and disposed of. A strange fatality. At first my wife said she would never wear her suit again, but when I pointed out how handsome she looked in it, site consented to wear it, after altering it to some extent by changing the color of the buttons.” 1 always “side-step” a breakfast food fiend when I can, but once in a while one ges me in at corner and i have to stand for a “dippy” strain of talk that takes in aches, pains, sym ptoms and diet. You breakfast food enthusiast is ever a man of aches and pains and a bad complexion. 1 fg fljtvovc* frviiip of 1 " * food, and he always wants every-! body else to try it. Jie tells you of the evil effects of ham and eggs, pan cakes, and all the good things to eat, and invariably intejects into his con versation an appendicitis scare, and tells you how a few packages of Pigo Digesto, (a nose bag witli every doz en packages), made a new man of him and brought the glow of health back to his cheeks. Your breakfast food man always tells you, gleefully, that water in which fresh cucum bers have been soaked, will, if fed to a rabbit, kill him in four minutes, lie will tell you that cancer lurks in tomatoes, that potatoes should be left alone and that you are courting death if you .swallow a grape sped, as the vermiform appendix lays with gaping jaws awaiting grape seeds, and that the “saw-bones” will get you if you don’t look out. Breakfast food enthusiasts should be seregated in dining rooms, and not allowed to tell their troubles or dilate upon some new chaff they are browsing upon. It doesn’t make any difference bow many times you “went through” frac tions as a student at school, or whether you graduated or not, the question is, do you really understand. fractions? Can you solve any prol> lent in fractions with accuracy unci ease? Now, don't prevaricate, don't mumble, don't "fudge," and tel! of having studied algebra and plane geometry— the question is, how are you NOW In fractions? A man in Falls City recently had what would be called a simple problem In frac tious all problems in fractions arc simple, you know to contend with. He failed to solve the same, and went from door to door among the business men seeking a solution, but failed to get the same, lie says the attempt of some of Falls City's business men to help him were piti ful, and that finally a lady clerk in one of our dry goods store* sel him aright, but that beads of perspiration stood out upon her forehead before she dared say, "its simple." And Ibis same young lady wanted to teach school in this county once. Think of it! Now on tIm square, do YOU understand fractions, or have you been "four-flushing" till these years? To have lived iu the year 1 bOb is a blessed privilege. Great things have been accomplished, great, vic tories won. Previous records for crossing the Atlantic have been smashed, the problem of flying through space practically solved, ami the North pole discovered. And then, too, the devious windings of the treacherous Neinalm, ere another fall is ushered in, will have been eradicated and the waters therein made to run in a straight, rational course, reclaiming thereby thousands of acres of land tlie soil of which is "as rich as cream."
