that little can be accomplished tr
mission such Henry Ford la financing;
because It li not sponsored by the high
est officials of the Vnlted States, Gov
ernor John II. Morehead has refused the
Invitation of Mr. Ford to be his truest as
one of a number of people who will go
to Europe on December 4 to try to bring
about peace among the belligerent na
tions. Governor Morehead re'olved another
letter this morning from Mr. Ford urging
him to accept the Invitation and going
more Into details regarding the mission.
He figured that It would take at hast
six weeks to make the trip. The party
will go over in ships together, but will
break up after the sessions of "Peace are
over, and each Individual will be pro
vided transportation back to his destina
tion.
Besides the reasons given In his letter
to Mr. Ford for not going Governor More-
head does not believe he would be Just!
flod In being away from the state for
such a period and beyond immediate re
call If matters of great Importance should
need his attention. Hla letter to Mr.
Ford Is as follows:
Your two telegrams and letter received.

Without the co-operation of the presi

people of the United States, with a possi
bility of a hearing granted by the offi
cials of the belligerent governments, J.
feel that little can be accomplished.
My personal sacrifice in leaving 4h
work 1 am so Interested In would be
great, and yt if 1 could convince myself
that I could be of service in ending the
war I would not hesitate to make the
saorlfloe. Believing ss I do, that a move
ment of this kind should be sponsored
. by the highest officials In the I nltcd
States, and backed by the minor ones, I
am inclined to think that such a mis
sion as suggested by you would prove
rr.im. mnA for that reason I am im
pelled to decline your kind and generous i
offer.

LINCOLN, . Nov. 30. (Speclal.)-What
is a public warehouse? This is a ques
tion which seems to bother many people
and the State Railway commission Is
frequently called upon to settle the ques
tion. The latest Inquiry comes from the Van
Wlkle Lumber and Grain company of
York, which has a commission house In
Omaha. This firm Is making contracts
with farmers for grain, the price to - be
agreed on at a later date, subject to
-cent per bushel for storage.
The commission holds that this con
stitutes a sale and therefore Is not under
the warehouse law.
Under- the warehouse law a charge Is
made of 1H cents per bushel -for storage
for the first fifteen days and 1. cent per
bushel after that period..

V acquired by artificial means. The method
used to bring out VELVET'S Nature-given
mildness, aroma and "body" is the ageing
method (all rights reserved by Mother Nature

Every ounce of VELVET is given not less
than two years proper ageing in great hogs
heads. It takes longer, of course, than any
hurry-up method, but it's the way to take out any "bite"
without injuring the rich smoking qualities, of Kentucky's
