In the southeastern quarter the month was nearly as warm as No vember. 1123, but in the remainder of thp state it was from 2 to 3 de grees cobler than the previous No t mb(-r. There were short cold per iods at intervals through the month, but an averasp cf only nine days 'vith temperatures below normal. In the eastern part of the state the low est temperatures occurred on the morning of the 2Mb.; in central and western portions, on the 7th or 13th.

Chairman of Foreign Relations Com mittee Scores Eesort to Violence on Part of Great Nations. BLUE BLOODS ARE AGAIN IN CHARGE OF BRITISH AFFAIRS Self-Made Men Cease to Have Any Say in the vBritish Cabinet of Premier Stanley Baldwin. London. Dec. 17. Self-made men have ceased to have any say in the: British cabinet. The old order has come a part of a scheme or plan for peace which recognizes war as a le gitimate method of settling disputes or which i3 controlled through in ternational politics. Senator William E. Borah declared in an address to the Philadelphia Forum upon the subject of "Outlawry of War." Because of his recent elevation to the position of chairman of the for eign relations committee and the stat us before that body of the question of American entry into a world court. Senator Borah's subject had aroused especial interest. "To talk of leagues and courts while pursuing a deliberate polio f'f violence and vengeance." Senator Borah declared, "is to trifie with the greatest problem now before us for settlement." He Cites Examples. "There is no hope for peace,'' h'e asserted, "so long as great powr r.; will that there shall be no p . ace." He listed a number of international incidents since the World war which As We Listen to the Happy Voices of Little Children At Christmas Ti ime e rejoice for a season like that and fjive thanks that chiHish hearts are not the only ones to enjoy Christmas.

The new conservative cabinet is rich in names long associated with positions of prominence in Britifh life.

Under m: courts not only prove ineffective but hope sickens and the morle cf th whole human family is broken and demoralized." Declaring lie had not criticTi- 1 peace plana which "deal with IIj ropean conditions alone," Sena;o. Borah said he was prepared to joice "if the league of nations, or the protocol, or any other plan, con sidered as European enterprises, can be made to serve the cause ot justice and peace in Europe." He suggested that the phrase, "ouf- lawry of war," be dropped for "sub stitution of law and judicial tribr.n als in international affairs." The plan should bo considered, he said, i three separate propositions: "Without Sanction of Law." Creation of a body of international law, involving "going as far as hu manly possible to reduce interna tional relations to established rules of conduct." Establishment of an independent tribunal with jurisdiction and power to determine all controversies involv ing construction of international law or treaties. Declaring by said tribunal that war is acrime no longer to be recognized at any time as a legitimate instru ment for settlement of international disputes. "In other words." said Senator Borah, "if war comes, it must lie without the shield or sanction of law, but in violation of it, as piracy or. slavery, or peonage, or murder."

Rehmeyer Elevator Co. Alvo, Nebraska Like many another good idea, the plan of setting aside special "day:;" and "weeks" for various movements is being "run into the ground." The average person is unable to keep up with them, and they are getting tire some. Outside of a few outstanding en terprises of particular "worth, such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and one or two others, most of the drives and "weeks" are merely in ventions of propagandists who reap a direct personal benefit from their activities. There has sprung up since the war a large class of professional uplift ers and propagandists, advocating this, that and the ether, with elabor ate "programs" which their fellow- citizens are supposed to boost alonir without asking questions as to what it is all about. j Tons of literature are prepared by highly paid publicity men and women .' and distributed broadcast. Newspa pers are expected to give unlimited i space to the stuff and citizens are! expected to fall in line with "service" and money. The originators of many of these schemes must chuckle to themselves to witness the ease with which they put their stuff over. But it is getting stale ami nauseat ing and it is about time to call a halt. ELECTBJCITY IS CHEAPER The latest figures on living costs are for September 1924 and, as given out by the Department of Labor at Washington, they show that food is 46 per cent higher than in December 1913, the year before the Wild's war started. Housing, clothing, fuel, house-furnishings nnd miscellaneous items are es : higher in porportion than food, but the six important items of living average more than 70 per cent higher than eleven years ago. In marked contrast the same report shows that the cost of elect ri city.Jias been reduced more than S per cent below the 1913 average rate. This fact is especially signif icant in view of the increased cost of fuel, which is two-thirds higher than at the Fame period and which is the essential source of electric energy. The most powerful electric search 'ght in the world, with a normal tange of more than fifty miles, has recently been put in operation cn Staten Island. Xaw York. The giant is part of the equipment of the United States Lighthouse Service, and was developed by the govern ment in an effort to produce a light more powerful than anv hitherto built. A single electric lamp of approx imately 5.000,000 candle power sup plies the beam for the new light and i-s reflected as a brilliant shaft of : light by a series of high-powered lenses. j The new beacon hag a radius under' ordinary weather conditions of about fifty miles, and on a recent clear night it was reported as being visible in Philadelphia, more than seventy-five miles away. ALFALFA F8ICES STIFFEN IN STATE Seed Sales in Nebraska Now Av eraging Around $15 for a Hundred Pounds. Alfalfa seed movement was active during the pr.st four weeks and it is eslimated by the United States de partment of agriculture that SO per cent of the crop had left growers' hands by December 8. The movement to date is normal and somewhat ahead of last year. In portions of Nebraska, Kansas. Colorado, and Montana only 30 to 60 per cent of the crop had left growers. In most of the southern districts a very small percentage of the crop i3 being held by growers at this time. Growers have been free sellers at prevailing prices that average about the snme as last year at a correspond ing time. In some districts, however, prices are slightly higher than last year while in others they are some what lower than last year. On De ctmVr S growers were being offered f-ii an average S1C.25 per 100 pounds, busis clean seed, compared with $15.55 about a month ago. The range was from $13.85 in southeast cm Xebraska to $20 in south cen tral Montana. Prices in some of the more important sections were as fol lows: In east central and western Utah. $16.35 to $16.65; in southern Dakota. $18.60; in eastern and south central Montana, $19.50 to $20; in western Colorado, $15.15; in north western Kansas, $14.C5; in south western Kansas, $15.15; in north eastern Kansas, $15.35; in south eastern Kansas, $17.65; in western Xebraska, $15.10; in southeastern Xebraska, ?14.S5; and in western Oklahoma, $15.- Most of the Grim alfalfa seed was being bought at abotit $35 per 100 pounds.
