Adver tising has demonstrated its ability to reduce this overhead, to stimulate demand, to speed up and cheapen distribution. I I he fact that in one year the increase in appropriations of business men for this purpose reached the immense sum of $50,000,000 shows that the movement for economis ing in bringing products from producer to consumer has found the newspaper a real help. . ; NEBRASKA'S EXPENSES LOANS TO SAVE CATTLE INDUSTRY (Nebraska City Press) The cost of living is not coming down In Nebraska governmental circles. According to figures which have been compiled at the close of the legislative session, 25 millions of dollars were appropriated for state expenses, about 10 per cent more than wan spent during the past two years. And. this In the face of a solemn pledge taken at the opening of the session that economy in govern mental appropriations would be a watchword of the as sembly. The republican majority in the Nebraska legis lature has made it easily possible for the democratic party to win a victory in two years because a pledge has been broken and, in spite of the trend of the times, a deliberate and successful attempt has been made to increase the state's tax burden. JUDGMENT (Omaha Bee.) . Reports from other parts of the state fortify the statement recently made in the Letter Box by F. M. Currie of Broken Bow that the ranges of Nebraska are not filled with the usual droves of cattle. The railroad rates on stock from southern ranches to the northern cattle country were cut, but in many instances the cattle men have been unable to obtain credit with which to make their purchases. Although Mr. Currie agrees with those who are urging that the government could alleviate the situation by turning over the $100,000,000 profits of the federal reserve banking system or the federal land tanks, he does not believe in the advisability of attempt ing to make cattle loans through this governmental agency. His suggestion that this sum be applied in making snore loans on land is in line with the judgment of many who are deeply interested In the success of the farm loan bank and who realize that it has no machinery with which to arrange cattle loans. The $40,000,000 bond issue which is bow being sold to provide funds for the land banks is i . . .

But it re mains for an old lady with ninety-six years on her white nead to speak with nnal authority. "It isn't anything to worry about," she told an eastern newspaper. "I have lived a long time and have seen all forts of fashions, but I Have never yet seen one that some reformer or other didn't find objectionable. When the women want to wear their skirts longer they will be longer, and when they want to shorten them again they will be shorter." Which seems in the last analysis to end the matter conclusively, v 'WESTERN NEBRASKA IDEAS this sum and distributed through the west in the form of loans on land, it would find its way into every channel of business. Farmers who received these loans would be enabled to buy cattle, pay their debts and add to the de Josits of the country banks, thus providing funds which wight be lent to others for the direct purpose of grazing or feeding cattle. Cattle loans differ In many respects from th,ose made on land. The security is more hazardous and the business of lending money on herds is one that is best handled where intimate information as to the standirig and capac ity of the borrower is known. 'If the money could be tent Into the agricultural communities on land mortgages It would nnd its way naturaiiy inu a v.nu.e piuccsHivn ui i of advances for stocking up the ranges. Mr. Currie admits doubt as to its being a kindness to lend money to an industry that is not on a profit-making basis. If it seemed probable that Amrican agriculture were to continue so largely a losing business,, further financial advances would be inadvisable. But people will continue to eat and the farmers to grow food, but more than that, attention is being directed not only to questions of production, but of marketing as well. When the re adjustment of Industry is accomplished, it seems inevitable that profit will come back to agriculture. It is now a problem of holding on, and no one who has seen and un derstood the result of disastrous prices for farm products, how they have slowed up business in every city in the land, will be so foolhardy a3 to expect the nation to prosper without the farmers prospering first of all. NIGHT LIFE IS NO MORE than in the east but the situation is now reversed.' The same condition is true of many other prices. Advertise ments in western Nebraska papers Fhow that merchants In that section have been reducing prices more rapidly than has been done in many towns in the eastern part of the state. Gradually, however, prices are coming down all over the country. BACK TO EDEN (Nebraska State Journal) A writer in the New York Times ha3 made something more than a sursory investigation into the night life of the cities of the United States since the eighteenth nwt'l- ment went into efTect. He finds that the old time midnight gavety has disnppeared everywhere, A remnant remains only where prohibition laws are still defied, but it is sadly admitted by thoe most interested in keeping up the old institution that its death can be postponed for only a short time at most. A chorus girl summarizes the whole situation neatly if somewhat ungrammatically when she .ejaculates: "Say! If it wasn't for them white front beaneries there wouldn't be no night life." The Times in common with other metropolitan newspapers has seen the piling up of the prohibition wave with ill-disguised dis gust, but the evidence is so complete on the matter of nightly revelry that it admits that the great change has virtuallv been accomplished. Night life meant nothing but reckless spending followed by a headache, and ?tr disappearance is mourned only by a few foolish people and by those who were making money out of their fool ishness.' The movies still depict cabaret life as if it were x still in existence. The editors of magazines and news papers, dealing with a more discriminating public, no longer care to buv stories touching on a phase of life that has passed. The attitude of the editors is significant. It means the definite end of one of the nation's most ' inexcusable extravagances. THE USES OF ADVERTISEMENT (Houston Post) With the New England college girls discarding ear puffs, some writer is suggesting that with the -woman's ear naked, fashion will compel her to cover something else. We don't believe it. We feel that the world is now so near Eden we can almost smell the pomegranates and hear the thrushes singing in the blossom-spangled thickets. A ROYAL GOOD TIME Queen Mary of England, ignoring the precedent estab lished by Queens Victoria and Alexandria, is said to do her own shopping in the London stores.

The place of advertising as a business force Is indicated by the report of the American newspaper publishers' asso ciation showing that more than $200,000,000 was spent for newsppper advertising last year. Increased use of this method of salesmanship is exhibited by the figures, which are $.r0,000.000 larger than those of the preceding year. These sums are large, but represent an economy rather than waste. With the cry for more efficiency in market i""" b'"rTv'' louder evry day, it is possible to predict that advertising will take on ever larger importance. There is no line of business today that does not use news paper columns. One of the first reforms adopted by the California fruit growers after forming their co-operative marketing systems was to make use of advertising. It is Fipniftcant that as one of their main objects was to reduce the expense of selling they turned, to the newspapers.

This photo play is taken from the story by Jock London, and it's a pippin. It's one of those yarns that will appeal to almost any movie fan. The central figure in the picture is "Wolf" Larsen, brutal captain of "The Ghost," a whaling schooner. He rules with a hand of iron, dominating his crew by his tsheer physical strength. Yet at heart he is a philosopher, ready to prove with skill ful arguments that "might makes right." A rich idler and a beautiful Kill, picked up by the schooner after a crash at sea, come into contact with "Wolf." Their adventures on his ship form the plot of the story. Basil King's "The Street 'Called Straight," will be shown Wednesday. Disgrace and ruin had threatened the distinguished name she bore and on her wedding day. Then into the breach stepped the man who once had loved her. His money stemmed the tide of a great tragedy and snatched her father from the jaws of a living death.

After the hearing, when they thought they, were due to be released, they swarmed upon the necks of a couple of county officers, and kissed them two or three times before the blushing men could make their escape. 'In the afternoon, when they were really released, half a dozen men stood in the halls and tried to look as tall as Tommy or as broad as Lee. Once, when a traveling salesman got spifflicated, he mistook us for the county attorney. . . These wild women weren't that wild. The girls at the court house, were snickering Monday over the harrow ing experience of a woman in one of the offices. She awoke early Sunday morning with one of those stiff necks. A pretty friend of hers offered to fur nisn some liniment and brought out a bottle. She rubbed it in real good, and remarked upon the pleasing warmth and the way it took hold Two or three times Sunday she applied the liniment, each time feeling better until, along about evening, she got a look at the, bottle. It was furniture polish. The neck was as stiff as ever Monday morning. You remember the fellow who got hold of a package of bird seed, think ing it was breakfast food. He sprinkled it with sugar and cream and ate it. But all the way down town in the car, the neighbors .noticed him trying to tuck his head under his arm. This woman was fortunate.
