There are now less than fifteen
thousand American soldiers In
France, and within a month, accord
ing to a recent statement of the com
mander of the American forces In
.that country, virtually all of the sol
diers will have returned home. The
oldlers who are left are employed
in the liquidation of army supplies,
squaring accounts and the policing
of American peace headquarters, and
It la expected that the coming month
will tee the wlndup.
The University of Nebraska has es
tablished a department for the train
ing of young men and women for po
sitions In the South American coun
tries. The increase in trade rela
tions with those countries during the
years of the war is at the bottom of
fhe demand. Young people who are
trilling to train themselves for places
with foreign branches of banking
juad mercantile establishments will
liave no difficulty In finding employ
ment suited to their capabilities,
provided they are willing to locate
permanently. The new department
jsbould prove to be a valuable one,
ud Nebraska may congratulate her
self that the men at the head of the
tate university have enough vision
to see an opportunity before it
knocks them down.
London bus girls are giving up
their Jobs to returned soldiers. They
fcave given real service in time of
pressing need, but voluntarily step
jMck and give up their places to the
ffiea who went forth to fight for
them. This brings up the question
;M to what has been done in this
jeovntry. Of course, there are a
fjnmber of concerns who have
promptly reinstated returned sol
diers aa fast as they were released
from the army, but there are a num
r of others who wave their hata
Wildly in the air during the parades
ad grasp the returned soldier warm
ly by the hand, but forget to men
tion anything about the old Job being
jppen at the same salary. The re
turned soldier is no fool, and he can
pmell a hypocrite a mile away. If
you don't mean what you say, better
pot say anything.
We slneerely trust that Dr. Clar
, nce E. Wilson of Washington, D.
CL. secretary of the temperance
-poard of the Methodist church, is not
Authorized to speak for the denom
ination. Dr. Wilson has been quoted
na raying thit the elimination of the
clgnrpttc would bo the next crusade
unl"rtakn by his church. There
never has born a time In the history
of the world or the church when
there mere greater opportunities for
constructive service In the solution
of problems growing out of the war
and the very church Itself may
stand or fall according as it meets
he Issues that are confronting it
vet here Is a man with so narrow a
vision that he would neglect the
ireatent of opportunities to chase
oulterfllcs. The writer doe3 not use
cigarettes, but he doubts very much
whether they ought to be abolished.
Other worlds are assuredly more In
nee of conquering. There are a
hundred or more questions that are
of more pressing importance than
the smoking of cigarettes, and we
are confident that the Methodist
church as a whole will not be led
astray, whether or not Dr. Wilson
can see beyond the end of his roman
nose.
The cjty council of Lincoln seems
to be In a fair way to serve the au
ditorium problem, which has been
a troublesome one for a number of
years. It Is a big, barnlike affair,
situated in the down-town district,
where rents and property values have
been climbing like mad. The city
needs such a building for the more
or less rare occasions when public
meetings of Importance are held, but
there Is not so much demand for it
as there was ten or twelve years ago,
when the opera came to the capital
city occasionally and political speech
es were never out of season. Of late
years the rent has hardly paid for
the upkeep, let alone returning an
interest on the investment. Now it
is proposed to rent the building for
public dances, and some of the bids
run as high as $400 per week for
the privilege. We suppose the coun
cil has promised the Woman's club
that they shall be permitted to su
pervise the affair, otherwise the dal
ly press would be full of protests.
Those estimable ladies never miss
ed an opportunity of crabbing while
we lived in the city.
The principles for which the
American Legion of Nebraska will
stand, as shown by resolutions
adopted at the recent Omaha meet
ing, are worthy of more than a pass
ing glance. You will find them on
another page of this issue. Sooner
or later, the Legion will have en
rolled on its membership record nine
out of ten men who saw service, and
they will become a powerful force,
whether they take an active part in
politics or not.
Efficiency and economy do not
necessarily go hand in hand. This
has been exemplified in a number of
ways, aside from Governor McKel
vle's code bill, under which, through
a mere change of title, a number of
public servants had their salaries al
most doubled with no additional
work to perform. From Hamilton
county comes another Instance. A
few months ago a number of country
school districts voted to consolidate,
being urged thereto by the argument
that such a course would result In
better schools for less money. The
districts were small, and It was easy
to convince the voters that by pool
ing resources, abler teachers could
be secured, fewer of them would be
needed, and other expenses would be
reduced to such an extent that the
total cost would be considerably les
sened, In spite of the additional ex
pense ot hauling some of the chil
dren to the school. No sooner had
the consolidation become a fact than
a bond election was called, and a
proposition to vote $60,000 to build
a new building was snowed under.
Last week petitions signed by over
90 per cent of the voters In the dis
trict were filed, and the old districts
will probably be restored. They had
no need of a building costing over a
third as much, and someone's desire
to make a big showing has resulted
In giving consolidation such a knock
out that it will be years before it Is
attempted again.
Striking printers in New York are
warned that unless they come back
to work they may find that people,
unable to get the light fiction maga
sines, will turn to more solid read
ing and they may never have that
kind of a Job again, which wouldn't
be an unmixed evil. Of course, that
sort of talk is the worst kind of tom
myrot, for even if the folks who read
that kind of fiction should tire of It,
there will be a new crop of young
folks growing up before long that
will fall for It. It would be Just as
sensible to say that the coal miners
who talk of strike should beware,
lest folks learn to get along without
coal.
As far as known there is only one
thing In the world can't be run down
-that's a rumor.
BARRING UNDESIRABLES
Warnings that should be heeded
Wire given by Secretary of State
Lansing when he appeared before the
senate committee on foreign rela
tions to urge a continuance of war
time regulation and control of pass
ports for those who seek admission
to the United States. From the re
ports In his office he has much in
formation on that subject. He says
there are thousands of undesirable
foreigners clamoring at the consu
lates all over Europe for passports
that will permit them to come here.
Among the number are many who
would come for the sole purpose of
spreading propaganda of bolshevism
and other organizations that seek the
overthrow of orderly government.
Large numbers of these undesirables
would be given help by foreign gov
ernments if it becomes possible to
send them elsewhere. To admit
them is to invite trouble for the
country. They are producers only
of discord and disorder. They can
not come now. Secretary Lansing's
plan Is to keep the bars p. It ap
peals to common sense and national
safety. It la not political, bat pa
triotic. Ohio Journal.

GIVE your wife a "lift" on the road
to good cooking. Encourage her to
enjoy her kitchen. Make her hours
minutes, her steps few. Enable her to
U6e system about her tasks. Give her a
beautiful new 1919 McDougall Auto
Front. It will place "half of her
kitchen" within arm's length!
Tomorrow! Select a McDougall. Here
are a few of the many reasons why a
McDougall is the best buy :
Patented Auto-Front a wood drop cur
tain which replaces bothersome swinging
doors over the work table top. Push a
button and it drops out of sight leaves
a smooth cupboard shelf, no grooves to
eatch food; no obstructing partitions.
(Shown lowered in above illustration).
Lift! and it locks! ' Only found on
McDougalls.
Sanitary, Snow-White Sliding Top. Glides
out to full width of a kitchen table. It
locks in place. Can't rattle or bob up
and down when you work or knead bread
upon it. Only McDougall Tops won't
wobble.
Finished in tough, wear resisting Spar
varnish which will not turn white; proof
against kitchen steam, heat, boiling hot
or cold water. Only McDougalls have
this serviceable finish.
McDougalls will not wobble, creak or
crack. There are no nailed or screwed
joints to work loose. Wherever two
pieces of wood are joined, one is tongued,
the other grooved. The tongue is locked
in the groove to hold fast indefinitely.
In addition there are eight steel corner
braces in the McDougall base one in
each corner, top. and bottom a construc
tion sturdy as the Rock of Gibraltar.
Only McDougalls are built in this stal
wart, everlasting way.

Do
You Appreciate
what the location of a Creamery in Alliance gives to producers of Cream and
Butterfat ? In place of receiving no more than Shippers' Prices for your
produce, you receive regular Delivered Prices which amounts to several cents
more per pound than you would get if this market were not close to you:
-
In other words, you get the same price for your Cream and Butterfat that
you would if you lived near the Omaha market and think of the difference
in the price of land. You can raise creamery products on Box Butte county
land with much less money invested and yet receive the same market price as
similar producers who live nearer the larger market.
Think this over a minute and you will see the point of the argument.
The fact is that the establishment of the Alliance Creamery makes Alliance
The Best Market There is
for your creamery products, you are now taking advantage of the oppor
tunity presented by reasonably-priced Box Butte county land, don't fail to
clinch the profit by disposing of your Cream and Butterfat in the most advan
tageous way. If you are not consider well the chance to increase your
income.
We want you to send us your Cream and Butterfat. Out-of-town pro
ducers will be furnished with shipping tags and everything done to make
shipments with as little inconvenience as possible. Those who can are urged
to bring their Cream and Butterfat either to the up-town office or to the
Creamery in Alliance.
We are able to quote the following attractive prices, delivered at Alliance
Creamery, or city station . ,
Sweet Cream 75c
Churning cream, per pound butterfat, 70c
