Milk in Winter.
Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does ,not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come io the as
sistance of Dame Nature with B. A.
Thomas' Stock Remedy which con-
tdins the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in a more highly concen
trated form. We guarantee that this
remedy will make your cows give more
milk, and better milk with the same
feed.

MR. FARMER!
A half million dollars worth
of perfectly good farm ma
chinery is thrown in the scrap
pile every year in Nebraska.
Farm work is the hardest
work there is on machinery.
Castings break, bearings
wear out, shafts bend and
break. Things get dull and
pull hard, gears rattle, smash,
bang and crash, paint gets dull.
Many farmers throw away
machinery and buy new, be
cause they are not aware that
we can in nearly every case
re-make such machinery equal
and in many respects better
than new.
We do not care how bad your
machinery is smashed or worn,
they all look alike to us ; we re
make them as good as new and
save you money.
A dollar saved is a dollar
earned, keep your money at
home and you may get it back
again besides it helps us to em
ploy home lab6r.
Put your machinery troubles
up to us, we have the best
equipped machine shop in the
country; if you don't believe it
call and see us. Visitors are
always welcome.
We make everything in metal.
Now is a good time to over
haul things for the spring rush.

AS A CONQUERER
KAISER OFFERED
PEACE, HE SAYS
London, Dec. 15. "Confident that
we are completely the victors, I yes
terday made a proposal to the enemy
to discuss the question of further war
or peace," said the German emperor
in addressing the troops in Alsace re
cently, according to a dispatch pub
lished in the Cologne Gazette, says a
Reuter's dispatch from Amsterdam.
"What will come of it, I do not yet
know," the emperor is reported to
have continued. "It is a matter for
the enemy now to decide if the fight
ing is still to go on. If the enemy
still thinks he has not had enough,
then I know you will," here the em
peror, says the correspondent, made a
warlike gesture" which "produced a
fierce smile on the faces of all his
men."
The newspaper dispatch describes
how the troops were drawn up in
parade order, a number of airplanes
being in readiness to ward off a possi
ble air attack. The emperor was ac
companied by the crown prince and
General von Gotmdell, the commander
of the army group. After inspecting
the troops, the emporor made a
speech thanking them for protecting
that region.
The steadfastness of the troops inJot bind them to a conference
the west, he said, the dispatch con
tinues, had made it possible to deal
destructive blows in the east. He
spoke, the correspondent relates, in
words "most wrathful in contempt of
that people in the east which had
thought to stick a dagger in the back
of our alley." The judgment of God
had fallen on them, the emperor de
clared, in the campaign which had
been conducted, according to the
brilliant plans of Field Marshal von
Hindenburg. The emperor adedd:
"The old God of battles directed.
We were his instruments and we are
proud of it."
Afterwards, the correspondent
states, the emperor talked to' the of
ficers for a half hour on the Rumanian
campaign, which he is said to have
described as "the irony of fate" which
had permitted the corn purchased by
the English to fall into German hands.
"The English," the, correspondent
quotes "the emperor as. saying, "paid
for it. We cat it, and this' has been
called a war of starvation."
POSITIVELY NO HUNTING.
All parties will from this date take
notice that no hunting will be allowed
on our farm. This rule must be ad
hered to and all those violating it will
be prosecuted -to the fullest extent of
the law.

ENTENT
NOT REFUSE TO
CONSIDER OFFERS
j
Allies May Make Inquiry as to
Terms Germans Favor
Discussion!
Washington, D. C, Dec. 14. Ar
rival of both the German and Aus
trian peace notes and broad intima
tions at the entente allied embassies
that the proposals of the central pow
ers would not be flatly rejected with
out examination were the outstanding
developments in the peace way.
Germany's note, substantially the
same as the published text, arrived by
cable in the early hours of the morn
ing and just as the state department
was closing for the day Austria's
note arrived.
Secretary Lansing said it was iden
tical with Germany's and thai neither
contained any change in meaning
from semi-ofiicial versions.
It was stated officially that neither
Germany's nor Austria's note would be
forwarded before tomorrow, if, in
deed, then, and there was no indica
tion that the president had made up
his mind what action, if any. he would
take in transmitting the central pow
ers' proposals to the entente belliger
ents. When, with the announcement of
the German proposals two days ago,
it appeared that the entente allies
were inclined to reject' the offer flatly,
it appeared very doubtful if President
Wilson could find a way to add a word
of mediation in transmitting the
notes.
With the apparent moderating of
that first attitude 'as reflected in the
British newspapers and among the
entente allied diplomats here, the way
seems easier for the president to ex
press in some way the hope of the
United States that the proposal for a
discussion of peace will rot be re
jected without consideration.
In such a step there is a likelihood
of the United States being supported
by some of the European neutrals.
The minister of one of them today
asked his government to authorize
him to assure t he president of indorse
ment in such a move, and it is be
lieved others are considering the same
phase of the situation.
The Spanish ambassador, Mr.
Riano, and the Swiss minister, Dr.
Ritter. both conferred with Secretary
Lansing today. Their governments
also are acting as intermediaries in
transmitting the proposals.
Whether they discussed the pros
pect of a neutral concert was not dis
closed, but the impression prevailed
that in the absence of a decision by
President Wilson, the subject was
scarcely more than touched upon.
The change in the attitude of the
garded as the most interesting devel
opment pointing to the probable posi
entente embassies, however, was re
tion of the allies. It was indicated
that to avoid being placed in the posi
tion of flatly rejecting peace over
tures without knowing what is pro
posed, it was not improbable that
after mature deliberation among
themselves the allies would make re
ply, inquiring upon what ba:r.is a dis
cussion was suggested. Such action
by the allies, it was pointed out, would
The German view of the next prob
able step' is that a meeting of repre
sentatives of all the belligerents
should be proposed for a general dis
cussion of the basis of peace.

ARMIES BACK up the
REJECTION OF PUce
London,
Dec. 15. The allies have
mace Known in stiiu-uiin-cii o...
mcnts their i ejection of German-made
peace at this stage and today their
armies in the field were backing up
that refusal by force of arms.
Statements from the east indicated
winter has caused no letup in Rus
sia's offence in the Carpathians. Nor
has there been any diminution of the
fighting in Rumania. The German ad
,h
vance is losing its momentum in the
face of the Rumanians' strong rear
guard resistance, made as they re
treat to the Buzeu river.
Before long there will be complete
consolidation of the Buzeu river line
of Rumanian defense with the Rus
sian Carpathian linp of offense.
Assault and Proposal.
Interest was manifested here in a
dispatch from Paris connecting up
Monday s violent German attack on
the French lines nearest Paris with
Von Bethmann-IIollweg's peace pro
yosals of the same day. The assault
was declared to have been carried out
by the flower. of the German troops,
and with a force of probably 40,000
men.
Bitter, hirhtinc: is still eroing on in
Macedonia, with the allied forces un

gress. England looks to see diversion
of German. forces to aid the Bulga

increase in the intensity of-the fight
ing. FARMERS' CONGRESS
IS AGAINST EMBARGO
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 1. The Ne
braska farmers' congress closed its
annual convention here last night with
the passage of resolutions endorsing
government ownership of railroads
and condemning an embargo on food
stuffs, which, it was said, would be
discriminatory unless export of manu
factured goods,' steel, cotton and other
products also is prohibited.
Other resolutions condemned free
disti ibution of seeds to farmers by
congressmen and characterized the
riivilege of "leave to print"' in the
congressional record as resulting in a
"flagrant waste of the public funds."
"The federal good roads law, by
which it is proposed to spend large
sums for good roads in -the states on
condition each state meets the federal
appropriation with an equal amount,
was attacked and congress will be
memorialized to repeal it. Cost of con
structing such roads, estimated at
? 10.000 to $20,000 a mile, and expense
of maintenance, the resolution said,
would place a heavy burden on the
farmers.
Each county, the resolution said,
should be permitted to build and main
tain its own roads without interfer
ence by the federal government.

Danger Signal.
If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. It is
especially valuable for the persistent
coueh that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind.,
writes : "During the winter my hus
band takes cold easily and coughs and

edy is the best medicine for breaking
