HIBEE Jeweler and Optician, O’Neill, Neb. | this in order to lighten the domestic burdens of the women in our cities. Girls are teing taught the science of “domestic economy” in our schools and colleges but they are not being taught how to go out and secure the ingredients of a meal. These must be brought to them to prepare. They learn how to cook potatoes without burning them but ask a graduate of a domestic science school the proper and economical way to buy potatoes and store them for winter use and she will throw a fit. Anyone who has made even a super ficial investigation of the cost of liv ing realizes that a return to the good old market basket days would cut the expense almost in two but it would en tail so much labor on the part pf the woman that in these modern days it is absolutely out of the question. The women will not stand for it and the New York Housewives League might as well disband now before it breaks up on account of the failure of its members to live up to the rules of the club. JAMES W.

IS WELL POISED FOR ACTION. Asserts Germany Will Find Next Move Against Foe More Difficult Than One Before—Says Positions of French and English Forces Are Impregnable. London, Aug. 27.—The military cor respondent of the Graphis says the allies In their present entrenched po sition as as the anvil to the "Musco vite hammer." "It Is good news," he continues, “that the concentration of the allies on entrenched lines within the French border is complete, and that the po sitions thus held are little less than Impregnable. The Germans will find that their next move against the allies will be much more difficult than that which confronted them a week ago. “General Joltre's troops will now be devoting all their energy to a stubborn defensive. They are the anvil. The Muscovite hammer is gathering all its immense force for a crushing blow in the east. Hence It Is most important that the allies' forces should stand firm. “The hammer Is doing excellently, allthough the preliminary work is nec essarily slow on account of the Rus sians’ lack of facilities for mobiliza tion. “Nevertheless the progress made by Russia has exceeded the most opti mistic expectations, and the Germans are likely to pay dearly for their un dervaluation of the Russian efforts. “The outstanding fact Is that the hammer is well poised for action. If the anvil only stands firm the enemy must be speedily crushed between them. “Here Is the situation of the three sided Russian advance: At present east Prussia Is In process of being cleared of German troops, while In Posen another Russian army Is mov ing almost unopposed and will soon be within 150 miles of Berlin. Meanwhile, in Galicia, the Austrian troops are not making an effective resistance.” ■■■ '■ ■■'• .v^vI r. .1 >■ a ■■■—■ -r.i.ti Iifin COMING to O’Neill UNITED DOCTORS SPECIALIST WILL BE AT THE Golden Hotel Monday, August 31, 1914.

London, Aug. 26.—Proposals that golf courses, cricket and fool ball fields be plowed for raising crops dur ing war time have been reaching the war office. A. J. Sherwood, secretary of the Walton Heath Golf club at Epsom, points out that there are at least 2,600 golf courses in the country which could spare some If not conslderab'e land for cultivation. The Walton Heath club has already started an ex periment of twelve acres under culti vation and its secretary believes that If other clubs, Including cricket and football organizations, would do the same, the scheme would provide em ployment for thousands of unski'led workmen and add considerably to the nation’s food supply. In these days of self-sacrifice no one appears to be wanting to enjoy him self on the golf links. They are gen erally deserted and probably will be to the end of the war. L. B. Gullich, secretary of the Golfers' club, has sug gested that the hundreds of club houses should be offered to the mili tary authorities for use as hospitals. / iie&^riio^qg \ / Tut a cover on your roof that stays weather-proof. \ / It takes no more of your time or it costs no more for labor\ /to lav enduring Genasco Roofing than you’d spend on inferior! f roofing whose service is short-lived.

Woipen Are Responsible. Daily Drovers Journal-Stockman: Word comes from New York that a lot of women under the name of the Housewives’ League are going to give the high cost of living a solar plexus . blow by a return to the good old days a the market basket. The move ap pears to meet with the approval of everybody from the mayor down but the reform is destined to be a dismal failure right from the start. Modern women will not go to mar ket with a market basket much less lug a basket of stuff home with them. Their education and environments have all been against such a plebean procedure and their style of dress for bids it. The city woman of today will not carry home a spool of cotton from a department store. It must be de livered at her home. She could not possibly carry a bundle as she ap parently needs both hands to take care of her apparel and then too it is a sign of poverty to be seen carrying things home. It looks so much more genteel to have them charged at the store and delivered. As a matter of fact fully 90 per cent of the advance in the cost of living in the past quarter of a century is due to the vanity of the women. This may seem rather hard but a little investigation will demonstrate its truth. The men are not entirely blameless since they are wont to re serve their attentions for the girls who shun housework, put up a well dressed front and assume manners that are as far as possible removed from the kitchen. The modern demand for prepared foods, for fancy groceries for hot house vegetables and fruit and the fancy cuts of meat calls for higher prices. It could not be otherwise since the expensive item of labor enters in to the securing of these articles. Then too a great deal more than half of the city trade in these articles is done on credit and dealers must necessarily allow themselves a mar gin of profit sufficient to cover the cost of collections as well as of bad debts. Delivery of the goods over a wide area in the city also adds great ly to the expense of the dealer and all J. u. tiubbell hied his acceptance of the republican nomination for county clerk. His only expense was $5.00 paid as fil:ng fee. Charles A Fauquier has filed his acceptance of the democratic and peo ples independent nomination for su pervisor. His nomination cost him only $5.00 paid as filing fee. W. E. Conklin has accepted the pro gressive nomination for sheriff. Hb only expense was $5.00 paid as filing fee. W. K. Hodgkin has filed his accept ance of the republican and progressive nominations for county attorney. His nominations cost him $46.48, which includes two filing fees. Dennis H Cronin has filed an ac ceptance of the republican and demo cratic nominations for representative from the Fifty-third representative district. The only expense was $5.00 paid as filing fee. Under the law all candidates must file an acceptance of the nominations given him or his name will not go upon the official ballot. Notice.

London, Aug. 26.—Lord Kitchener made his first speech as minister of war in the house of lords. He told his hearers that this war undoubtedly would strain the forces of the empire and entail big sacrifices. He laid em phasis on the fact that his position la the cabinet involved adherence to neither party. “The terms on which I am serving are the same as those under which some of the finest portions of our msa hood, now so willingly stepping for ward to join the colors, are engaging. That is to say, my term of office is for the duration of the war, or for three years if the war should last as long as that. It has been asked why I his period has been limited. It is because If this disastrous war be prolonged, and no one can foretell for a certainty Its duration, that after three years of war others will take our places and see this matter through." Powers Quit Albania. Paris, Aug. 26.—A dispatch ftom Scutari reports that all the powers have withdrawn their forces belonging to the international committee to Al bania.

Paris, Aug. 27.—With regard to the unauthorized retreat of a portion of the Fifteenth corps of the French army during the fighting in Lorraine, which resulted In the French Invaders of Germany being driven back with losses, M. Clemenceau explains that the troops were impressionable south eseers, and their officers did not In terfere with the flight with sufficient energy. "In the thick of battle," he says, “these men, by their action In retreat ing, left a gap of five or six miles foi the enemy to penetrate. “The situation was saved only by the splendid firmness of the Thir teenth and Twentieth corps, which joined hands under a storm of shot and shells. "All of this we only know by what was learned from chance witnesses.” GERMANS WITHOUT NEWS Berlin Paper Contains “Rumor” of Mrs. Wilson’s Death. London.
