Toung Blau had been "going" with pretty Bessie Harris for six montha when the European war broke out. Although Blau waa born in the United States, his parents were natives of Germany and he called himself a "Qerman-Amerlcan." They disagreed and ceased to "keep com pany." Nina months ago tha present bride and bridegroom began to appear together in publto places and young Blau frequently visited tha homo of Joseph Harris, her father, of the South Side. They found they no longer cared whether Germany or England wan victorious, so long as they could ba together. "We ara American," at last they said. "There is no reason why we should quarrel with each other about England and Germany." Now they never talk about war. Blau calls himself an American and so does his pretty bride.

While there has been little snow to form a blanket over the wheat, there has been enough to keep the ground moist and prevent the dirt from blowing lng away from the roots of the plant. "Southern Nebraska and Kansas farmers, on account of big crops and get ting high prices for everything they tney have had to sell, are in good shape finan cially. "All through our territory farm lands are constantly advancing In price, and while there are not many farms sold, or for sale, those that change hands do so at a good advance from a year ago. The land la so good and so productive that farmers are not anxious to sell." heavy fall of snow over the branches, both north and south of the main Una.

DEMAND FOR MACARONI IS GREATLY INCREASED An enormous Increase In tha amount bf macaroni and kindred products eaten In this country Is noted In recent years.

Only the outer shell Is removed from the wheat. The rest Is ground Into a coarse flour, mixed with water and kneaded In big machines Into a dough which is then pressed by hydraulic presses Into tha various shapes and Is finally put through a curing process In humidors. The American-made product Is made In Strictly sanitary manner, in maraea contrast from the hand-made foreign product, ita richness in nutrition has caused It to take tha place largely of meats since they have risen in price and its adaptability to acoree of different iishea explains the vast increase in ita uaa.

"Iowa Is dry, but you should worry. There's an abundant supply lust across the river." "Visit your favorite old liquor es tablishment in its new home." "Now, remember, you were not as bad off as you thought you were."

To Reconsider Llceaae. The eouneil resolved to reconsider issu ing tha license for 1916, and there is a pos sibility that tha license may not be granted at all. . Tha offending dealer recently opened a place at Eleventh and Douglas streets, and last week was brought before tha commissioners because of objectionable signs at his liquor emporium. Ha agreed to remove the signs, and now ha has sought to attract business In Council Bluffs by advertising the fact that when tha town across the river goes dry next week he will supply a-plenty, furnish street car tickets or deliver by automo bile without extra cost. Tha Omaha commissioners object to this city being advertised in Council Bluffs In tha manner Indicated. Whether the license will actually ba turned down will be determined Friday morning, Orders Food Enough to Last Him Until He Gets Out of Jail He was undoubtedly seedy In dress, but the brisk manner in which he walked into the Calumet restaurant and com mandeered a table in tha cafe, rather than a stool at the counter, made tha waiters believe In him.

With the same neatness and dispatch that marked hla conversation ha mada away with the host of viands set before him. "Now bring me a creme d'menthe and I'll just stick another cigar In my pocket for after awhile." "Yesstr! Tesslr!" bustled the waiter, Ingratiatingly, after ha had performed the service. "Is there anything else you wish, slrf "Yes, call a polloemaa and have ma ar rested. I'm broke flat. I've got fewer Jitneys than a submarine has deck hands." At the station tha man gave his name as Pstar Borenson. "I was hungry and out of work. I had to eat and I didn't want to commit a se rious crime, so I Just went In there and filled up for tha first time In six months," he said, "i suppose I shouldn't have eaten ao much, but I Just thought I'd aa lief ba hung for a sheep as a goat." Ha said ha is a union boiler maker. DUCKS ARE PLENTIFUL, TOO; i A fresh supply of turkeys Is again on the market for New Year's dinners.
