November was a warm, dry month
with abundant sunshine, low humid
ity, ami more than average wind
movement, reports Thoma3 A. Blair
of the weather bureau at Lincoln.
Temperatures averaged from 1 to
more than 2 degrees above normal.
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.
The first general hard freeze of the
year came on the 6th.
Less Eain than Usual
Pi -efipitation averaged only one
third of the normal amount. In cen
tral .nni! unrthcp.atf rn divisions it
amounted to about one-sixth of the been brought bacK by btaniey naia
normal: in southern divisions, one- win, new premier, and brought back
third; and in western and north- strong. All but two of the nineteen
western divisions, two-thirds. In the men in his cabinet are college bred.

week. .
The warm, dry weather was very
favorable for outdoor work, but kept
the soil too dry for the best progress
of winter gTains, especially in south
eastern counties, where October was
also unusually dry. Wheat was re
ported in poor condition in the south
eastern division, but very good in
western and central divisions. Corn
busking and beet harvest made ex

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

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

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

Mrs. Martha J. Peterson has re

evening of a fine little .daughter at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lillard

The mother and daughter are both

and practice vengeance. Under m:

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."

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.
