We want all newsitoms Kditoh I TSiriit StsiDDS The war is costing the United States $1,000,000 an hour. To offset this steady and tremendous drain upon the nation's cash resources, there must be a corresponding stream of dollars flowing into the national treasury. Thrift stamps and war savings stamps offer the people an op portunity to deposit their daily, weekly or monthly savings with the government. In return the government will repay the principal with 4 per cent interest, compounded quarterly. As an example of how the investor's money will grow, sixteen war savings stamps, costing 25 cents each, or 54.00 in all, with 12 cents added, will entitle the depositor to $5.00 on January 1, 1923. As an investment, safety considered, there is nothing better on the market today. All the resources of the richest government on earth are behind the stamps.

This is sure tough on Harry, who likes to be up and coming in the 'open and to be compelled to stay indoors is a sentence imposed, which hurts as much as the ailment. The wolf hunt, whicli was sched uled to have taken place on Tuesday, was postponed by its promoters, ow ing to the severe storm and rough condition of the roads. It is to be hoped this v ill not be dropped as these animals are very numerous this year, and are causing much trouble to stock on the farms. W.

Mr. Arnold has decided that Nebraska is a3 good a place to live as there is on the map, and only regrets that he made the mistake cf leaving it. The Robert Good sale held on Monday the ISth, was largely at tended and the prices bid on the stock and machinery were very sat isfactory to the owner, and a bar gain to the buyer, as Mr. Good's ma chinery and stock showed good care.

A went ad will bring what you want are In an article on "Women and Na tional Defense" in the January Book man, Miss Louise Maunsell Field says pertinently: "Primarily, the Wom an's Committee is an advisory com mittee to the Council of National De fense, and' all its plans are submitted to that body before they are put into execution. But it has its own rpeeial objects: To eliminate any waste of woman's energy; to pre vent unnecessary over-lapping of work; to utilize and centralize so far as may be, every particle cf the already existent and available ma chinery; to standardize women's war work; finding out the best way tc do each job, whether it be knitting or canning, clothing cr feeding or what not, that no time cr strength may be wasted on mistaken cr val ueless labor, at the same time leav ing every organization free to con tinue its activities in its own chosen field, every community at liberty to work out its own especial problems in the manner best adapted to its abilities and its needs. In cohrt. to provide a clearing-house for wom en's war work. o direct channel of communication between the loyal women of the United States and th" government at Washington, so that when the demand comes, whether it be for a "Food Ccncervatirn cam paign or a ."Liberty Loan drive" or any other of a dozen activities, word may be sent without lcs cf time from the government to the Wom an's Committee, from the Woman'? Committee to the State Divisions, from the State Pivisirns to the local units, and the great army of women j gon thus enabled to do its part swiftly and efficiently, these are some of the objects of the Woman's "Committee. It is something new in the vcrld, this intentional, immediate mobiliza tion of woman cs women, for v.'r ser vice, this net work of wiies spread out that the message flashed from Washington can be transmitted in the shortest possible time to every women willing to receive it, v. hcever, wherever and whatever. she may be. Woman's "intuition" has b?en preached upon and insisted upon un til women could scarcely b? b'.r.mei if they believed themselves com petent to do anything and everything at a moment's notice. But. "This is not a war for amateur:;; Train!" advises the committee, insisting thr.t the useful woman is the w-io knows how to do som? one thing well. Women, Dr. Shaw declares, are pat riotic instinctively the . Pttrstlon is only one of teaching thorn how best to use that patriotic instinct. It is good to know that there exi-ts a great multitude of women ready to do what they can fur their country in this her hour of need; it is better to know what each of them actually can do. A problem perplexing enough in peace times, doubly perplexing now we are at war, is that of our im mense alien population. The Ne braska Division of the Woman's Committee has started a Department of Naturalization, while in other states the Woman's Ccinmitice i? working on various plans of Ameri canization. "Every foreigner in the United States should speak English" has been suggested as the f logau for this department. . The formation of the Woman's Committee was s. direct and official recognition of the importance cf Women's work in many fields, some of which might, to.a careless observ er, seem remote from war service, hut all of vhich had in truth a close con nection with the one grept object that is nearest to all our hearts a victorious and a lasting peace." Resolutions to concentrate on the problems of food production and con servation duringthe spring months g were passed at the February meeting of the Executive Board of the Wom- e Jan's Committee of the Nebraska State Council of Defense. The ser ious problems cf the distribution of food products will be investigated thoroughly, and all possible help se cured for the producers. Mrs. F. M. Deweese, of Dawson, recently appointed chairman of the Food Production committee, was dele gated to confer with Nebraska's fod administrator, Mr. Wattles, con cerning the possible government so lutions of the problems cf labor, mar ket and transportation. She will also seek the viewpoints of the wom en producers themselves as to their needs. "This is the biggest problem be fore the country today," said Miss Hrbkova, chairman of the Woman's Committee. "We are facing much the situ-ticm which Russia is com batting. Rusria has overproduced, yet through lack of distribution facilities, iconic- in some parts of '43? a ii i inssia r.re starvation. The Woman's Committee hones 'to find o.nj-p mc.ns cf f t nbl ish i n a mar ketincr medium which will bring to gether the city women who face a rhortage and Hie farm women who are overstocked with vegetables and dairv r-roductr."

BERLifl PAPEB AR3USED BY EOiGi CF mm OOOf-iOiL Loudon, Feb. IS. "Nothing less than a declaration of war upon Ger many and Austria," the nations which "released Poland from the yoke of czardem." is the way the Berlin Lokal Auzeiger characterizes a recently published proclamation by the Polish government council which, like the Polish ministry, v. as recent ly reported to have-resigned, accord ing to an Exchange Telegraph dis patch from Copenhagen. The proc lamation declared that the central powers', after having guaranteed the independence of Poland and prem ised the Polish state its friendship, help and co-operation, nevertheless refused Poland represntation at the, Brest-Li lovsk peace conference and brought peace with thes Ukraine by handling over a province com pletely Polish without concultins Poland regarding it. wc-i-i 1. ; Lt -.ciU TED Ail :rc-:gr. women m Ne- brasha r.-e urged to become Ameri ?:!ii red and a".!

Mrs. George Norris, wife of Senator Norris, has assumed charge of the Nebraska girls working for Uncle Sam, as chairman cf the special com mittee of Nebraska women. She will see that the girls are properly housed, that they are not lonesome, that they are thoroughly comfort- and hsppy. Word ccm-as from Washington that a great many more women are needed for office work.
