-:o:
The twenty-first day of December
is the shortest day of the year.
:o:
The expression, "a regular
prince," has of late taken on a vast
ly different meaning from that of
yore.
:o:-
Next year vc are promised there
will be plenty of sugar. Maybe
then there will be a shortage in the
srape fruit crop.
We would like to know where
General Influenza got the idea that
anybody cheered or clapped. and
what is the reason for the encore?
What difficulties the government
didn't think of to throw in the way
of the average newspaper publish
er this winter, the flu came along
and did.
:o.
"The public has gained in health
by food conservation," says an ex
pert. Yes. but hang it, when you
gain health, your appelate generally
improves, too.
-:o:-
The Crown I'rinco says he has
not yet abdicated his heirship to
he throne. Perhaps not, but the
Allies saved him the trouble, and
did the abdicating for him.
:o:
President Wilson is on his way
to France, and may he enjoy a
pleasant trip, and return In safety.
Tfie people will give him cordial
recti n g "over there." and don't you
forget it.
:o:
Colonel House is ill with influ
enza in Paris and William llohen
.oMern in bed with the fame com
plaint in Holland. They say it's
contagious, but we don't believe
what you may think.
:o:
The officer in charge of U-139 ex
plained that its Captain was "too
sad" to attend the surrender in per
son, lie claims to have sunk lb
hips. If he can be caught he will
be even sadder some day.
:o:
One thing that distinguishes; a
doctor from the rest of your friends
this time of year is that when he
prescribes for your cold he isn't so
blamed posit ivo that it will fetch
you up perfectly well and sound in
the morning.
:o:
It is inconceivable that the ex-
Kaiser thinks he will be safer in
Germany than he would be in Hol
land. Perhaps he will go to Switz
erland. We hope he meets another
Wm. Tell there who will be his fin
ish who can tell!
:o:
See that the German fleet Is now
under the flags of the Allies. And
flacs of the Allies' associates, we
presume. Mr. Creel's cable doesn't
give any particulars of the distri
bution, but presume Admiral Heatty,
Admiral Sims and the others play
ed pinnochle for choice of the ships.
:o:
If the average reader could he in
duced to believe one-half of the tele
graph stuff that purports to come
from the war zones, it would not
be so bad but it can't be did. Any
thing that will create a sensation
will catch the newspapers, no mat
ter as to the truth of the dispatch
so that it comes from "over there."
:o:-
Thc Fuel Commissioner, if he
can't get coal enough out of the
mines, might serve out rations of
hornets to the public. They would
not only he able to tell when bad
weather was coming hut they might
do something toward raising the
temperature of the individual. There
should bo as much heat in one
healthy, industrious young hornet
FOOD IN GERMANY.
A German specialist writing in
the Cologne Gazette admits that
Germany has plenty of food on hand
if it is all used for food. He points
out that the' sugar harvest was very
large, but that much sugar had been
used as raw material for munitions
The same thing is true of the enor
mous potato crop; much of it was
used tc make spirits needed in war
factories. The question arises:
When they asked us for food, did
they plan to go on .turning their
potatoes into munitions?
:o:
THE DAY OF THE WASTER.
Homes crowded. Schools over
crowded. Homes cold, likely to be
colder. Buildings falling into disre
pair. Every street car with one or
more flat wheels. Car shortage on
every railroad. Car shortage in ev
cry street car service. Machinery
lacking to resume peace work. Short
age of operating force for express
systems, for transportation lines, lo
cal an dgeneral, for elevators, for
factories, for workshops, for offices.
for stores. School teacherless. Uni
versal shortage Qf labor and pro
ducts of labor and situation daily
growing more acute.
War munitions " galore, though
they are not needed and probably
can never be used even for practice
purposes. Armies or men anu wom
en still stupendously increasing the
superfluity. v
These are the industrial condi
tions. Unprepared for war, unpre
pared for peace, appearsto be the
symmetrical record which the apost
les of super-taxation and suppres
sion of prosperity aspire to.
:o:
KINGS THAT ARE HARMLESS.
Of ''the kings that arc left those
fit and most firmly who have least
power. Even in essentially demo
cratic countries like Belgium, Hol
land, Denmark, Norway and Great
Britain, there survives a consider
able royalist spirit partly tradition
al, partly based on the reasoned be
lief that royalty has value as a sym
bol, even after it has ceased to rule.
The more radical, who are contempt
nous of historic continuity, do not
find it worth while to quarrel with
a harmless vestige of mediaevalism.
as they consider the survival of
royalty In a democratic country, and
their efforts are apt to be directed to
more substantial reforms the need
of which would be quite as great
under a republic. In England this
half contemptuous, half tolerant at
titude has been expressed during
the war by the iconoclast II. G.
Wells, who was but mildly rebuk
ed for sentiments which in the days
of the earlier Georges would have
been likely to land him in jail. It is
possible that in some of the coun
tries where king and subjects have
got on harmoniously the revolution
may bring a wave of republicanism,
hut in general those monarchs who
have been content to serve as a sym
bol of national unity and a rallying
point for loyalty have least reason
to fear revolution. Springfield Re

"LOOK FORWARD
LEND A HAND."
The outlook for prosperity was
never better in Nebraska than it is
today. The soil is in better condi
tion than it has been in for five
years, all the farmers coming to
Omaha say. The whole state has
been thoroughly wet down and a
very large part of it covered with a
blanket of wet snow. The contin
uance of the wheat prices and the
ccorts of the government to prevent
sudden fluctalion in prices, which
no doubt Will be generally success
ful, will make the next year one of
unusual prosperity for farmers In
all this region and that means the
ability to buy large quantities of
good3, making the cities also pros
perous. Practically tho same conditions
exist all over the country, making
the transition from a war basis to
one or peace comparatively easy.
The best statistical authorities say
that a rough estimate of $20,000,-
this year, including live stock
would be conservative. In the first
year of the European war the total
was under $10,000,000,000. A good
many people would be much hap
pier if they ceased to dwell upon
past calamities and suffering caused
by the war, and cast a glance Into
the prosperous future which seems
near at hand. It would be a good
time for the whole country to take
the advice of Edward Everett Hale,
given many years ago, and
"Look forward not backward,
and lend a hand." World-Herald
-:o:
RECOVERED FRENCH
PROVINCES
When the French returned after
forty-seven years into Lorraine they
found a state of things which we in
America, with our experience of the
pro-Germans, gained in the past
few years, can appreciate. The hulk
of the common people showed de
lirious joy at being restored to their
rightful country. A fraction large
ly made up of the rich and the
functionaries betrayed in their non
committal silence a German lean
ing.
Fortunately for the redeemed
provinces the German Gesslers had
confined themselves largely to the
walks of life where the patronage
of the late Imperial Government
would profit them. They may have
driven out the upper class of the
native element, but the rank and
tile of that element still are there.
How much of a bluff these immi
grant aristocrats could have thrown
in case of the referendum that Ger
many wanted to impose on the
provinces we can easily guess. Did
not a few hundred Teuton experts
in deception raise such a din
throughout the United States in
191 ti as to drown the voice of the
rest of the population?
The chief interest attaches not tj
the pro-German exceptions but to
the majority with its sense of French
nationality undiminished by half a
century of cruel captivity. The prov
inces that France lost have indeed
been found again.
:o:
CHECK ON FOOD PROFITEERING.
All retail stores dealing in food.
beginning tomorrow, are reqiurcn
by the Federal Food Board to dis
play "fair price" schedules. These
placards, which are to be furnished
by the board, will show the fair
maximum price to the retailer, the
maximum margin of profit allowed
to the retailer, and the fair maxi
mum price that should be charged
to the customer.
These schedules are to ho dis
tributed weekly by the food hoard.
and the asking or exacting of any
margin of profit in excess of that
prescribed will be regarded as prima
facie evidence of profiteering. Im
mediate prosecution will follow the
filing of a complaint.
That this plan of the food board
to stop profiteering has advantages
both for the customer and the re
tailer Is apparent. The storekeep
er is protected against any exorbi
tant demands from the wholesaler.
and as long as he keeps within the
limit of prices to the customer he is
free from criticism. The consumer,
on the other hand, is protected
against profiteering, and Is able at
all times to keep advised of the
fair wholesale and retail prices of
whatever he buys.
In order to assure the complete
effectiveness of the food board's
scheme the public must cooperate by
reporting any dealer who does not
keep within the scheduled limit.
Complaints addressed to f West
Fifty-seventh street. New York, will
receive immediate attention.

If it be true that von Tirpitz has
carved off hi3 whiskers it may he

it of tho armistice. They should
have been handed over as a trophy

WILL SPEND WINTER HERE.
I'rorn Thursday's Daily
Mrs. John Chapman and little son
Sainmie, of Baker, Montana, arriv
ed in this city last Sunday nisht
from-the west and is visiting at the
home of Mrs. Chapman's mother.
Mrs. J. W. Johnson. They will
make their home in l'lattsmouth for
the winter, as the winters are pretty
cold, they thought it better to be
here during the cold weather, and
they desire to visit with Grand
ma Johnson and other friends here,
they take the part of the year when
they can enjoy it best here, and live
in the west when that is the most
enjoyable, a very good idea.
Few Escape.
There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fort
unate who have but one and get
through with it quickly and with
out any serious consequences. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
observe the directions with each
bottle, and j-ou are likely to be one
of the fortunate ones. The worth
and merit of this remedy has been
fully proven. There are many
families who have always used it
for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very
best results.
