Summing it up, the ruling of the
interstate commerce commission on
advertising contracts between the rail
roads and newspapers will result in
placing this business on a sound busi
ness bases. The agitation at this time
is quite similar to that of almost twen
ty years ago. At that time the rail
roads issued annual passes to newspa
per men as a courtesy and very sel
dom asked anything in return, per
haps once in awhile a little local ad
vertising a punlication of a time card.
But there has been a gradual change.
The railroads began to appreciate the
value of advertising, and this depart
ment was added, until today some of
the best advertising men in the coun
try are at the head of these. The
placing of railroad advertising on a
cash basis would not mean any less
advertising by the railroads, but more
and better advertising, and every edi
tor in the country should welcome such
a change.
ttixby in the Lincoln State Journal
says that Egyptian darkness still pre
vails in Platte county because at the
last election there were two democra
tic votes cast for every one republican
vote, and he also claims that next to
Douglas and Lancaster, Platte county
has the most saloons. We admit we
are not proud of the distinction of be
ing the strongest democratic county
in this state, and we wish it were oth
erwise. Outside of the men who hold
and seek offices, and who know that a
nomination practically means an elec
tion, no one can be proud of it This
preponderance of democratic strength
in this county is anything but a sign
of superior wishes or good common
sense, yet we are a peaceful law abid
ing community and our schools com
pare favorably with any in the state.
But it is the privilege of every nan,
whether native or foreign born, to vote
as he pleases, and some day our friend
Bix may be able to record the fact
that darkness has been dispelled.
This is Thanksgiving week. The
president of the United States and the
governor of the state of Nebraska.
have, by proclamation set apart
Thursday of this week as the day of
yearly Thanksgiving, and have re
quested the people to express their
gratitude to God for the bounties of
the year, to "enter into his gates with
Thanksgiving and into his courts with
praise." All through history there
have been festivals of Thanksgiving.
It was reserved, for the pilgrim fathers
to make the festival one of annual ob
servance and from the custom it has
become an annual holiday throughout
the country. So precedent and grati
tude command a decent and seemly
observance of the day. One of the
features of the annual Thanksgiving
festivals is the family reunions. The
members of scattered " households,
wherever they cam congregate at the
old home and so far as spared the old
circle k renewed. This aspect makes
the day hallowed. In the larger sig
nificance of Thanksgiving day all the
people have a part. Hereabouts no
great calamities have occured. In

The first effect of cold on the akin Is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are ves
sels that take blood from tne heart
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting ves
sels are called capmarles. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
Itself becomes tenser. In a few mo
ments or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction of the capillaries
are more or less paralysed, and the ves
sels dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be
comes bluish. Then the nutrient fluid
in the skin (the lymph) Is coagulated,
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"chaps." If the cold la more severe its
action u deeper, and the blood itself
may be coagulated. This Is frostbite.
