What are you going to buy for

Harding wife.

:o:
The wail from cotton and wheat
farmers reminds us that price reduc
tions, like the tariff, is a local issue.
:o:
After all. the arrangement is fair
enough. The price of coal gives one
cold feet, but makes him hot under
the collar.
:o:
Timber waste each year in the
United States could provide 40.000
tons of paper. 300 tons of rosin, C00,
000 gallons of turpentine.
:o:
It is high time to propose an ar
mistice with the weather man. At
least, we would like a cessation of
hostilities until January or Febru
ary. o:o
If the Rev. Mr. Watkins needs a
slogan for his party, he might use
what the governor of North Carolina
said to the governor of South Caro
lina. o:o
"This is a problem that staggers
humanity!'' shrieks an orator. Well,
let us stagger. Mighty few things
can ever arouse, our interest nowa
days.' """
:o:
Others can do as they please but
personally we never expect to carry
our money in a beaded bag as long
as we've got a hip pocket with a but
ton flap.
:o:
Eve may have been content with
a fig leaf in winter, but when sum
mer came, she probably mads Adain

a fur neckpiece.

The costliest melting pots in the
world today are the basement furnace

Gee whiz! but the players will be up

It is claimed that a second Charlie

MANLEY STORE IS

Store of Theodore Harms Raided Last
Nnight and Quite a Quantity of
Goods Taken by Visitors.
From Thursday's Dally.
While the business men of. Man
ley have been fortunate in the way
of escaping from the series of robber
ies that have been visited on the dif
ferent towns of the county in the
past, the blow has been felt and last
evening the store of Theodore Harms
at that place was entered and goods
amounting to the neighborhood of
$1,000 was taken.
The burglars broke the glass out
of the front door of the store and
were able to unfasten the Yale lock
and secure free access to the store.
Among the articles taken there were
quite a few blankets, sweaters and (
several ladles union suns ana rour
green and black winter caps, together
with a large quantity of shoes.
The robbery was not discovered un
til this morning and gave whoever
committed the crime an ample oppor
tunity of making their getaway from
the scene of the robbery.
It seems as though the small towns
will have to adopt a method of pa
troling their streets at night and the
employment of a night watchman in
all of the towns of the county seems
to he necessary if any check is to be
made in these visitations. The rob
beries occurring in all parts of the
county makes it impossible to handle
the matter except through local effort
on the part of the residents of the
various towns to get a line on the
robbers.
YOUNG MAN SPENT NIGHT
ALONEJNJHE WOODS
A young man by the name of Nel
son, of Omaha, spent Sunday night
in the woods somewhere near Weep
ing Water. He had come to Union
Sunday morning in company with
Mr. H. C. Anderson for a rabbit hunt.
They had expected to come to Weep
ing Water, but as there was no train,
they started out to hunt coming this
way. and while in one of the big
orchards near Nehawka, they got
separated and Mr. Anderson could
not find the young man so he came
on to Weeping Water. Nelson showed
up here before train time Monday
morning, but had remained all night
n the timber somewhere, hehardly
knew where. He had built a fire
and cooked a rabbit which helped
out for the evening meal and also
helped to while away the long night
which was pretty cool. Weeping

ST. MARY'S GUILD.
From Thursday's Dally.
The ladies of the St. Mary s guild
were very pleasantly entertained yes
terday afternoon at .the home of Mis.
William R. Egenberger, who was as
sisted in entertaining and serving by
Miss Anna Egenberger. The after
noon was spent in closing up the work
for the Christmas shop and the many
dainty articles that will be offered for

ladks of the guild. At a suitable
hour the members of the party were
treated to very delectable refresh
ments that proved a very enjoyable
feature of the afternoon.
CHILDREN AIDED
BY THE RED GROSS
All Over the Woild Young Lives are
Saved by the Organization
Asking Your Support.
In Italy 155,000 children were
kept from want and starvation thru
the assistance of the American Red
Cross in 1918-19.
In Serbia, during the winter of
1919-20. 150,000 war orphans and
lost children were fed and relieved.
In Franco 200,000 children were
treated in American Red Cross hos
pitals and dispensaries during the
years 1918-19.
In Poland, during the spring and
winter of 1919-20. half a million war
orphans were given assistance in the
way of food and clothing. Orphan
ages have already been established by
the A. R. C. capable of caring for
800 children. During the same per
iod 4,000 children's garments and
shoes were distributed.
In France and Belgium 600 insti
tutions and societies have been aided
in caring for the children. In one
year 20.000 baby outfits were fur-
nisl.ed these children by the Ameri
can Red Cross.
In Belgium the American Red
Cross took 20,000 children out of
the country early in the war, thus
saving them from capture by the
Germans.
In Albania 200 sick babies were
treated weekly in the infants hos
pital at KIbasan and 700 children
were given clothing and schooling by
the American Red Cross during tn
winter and spring of 1919-20.
In Montenegro last winter and
spring three orphanages were estab
lished at each of which 175 children
are being fed, clothed and educated
In Roumania early in 1919, out of
every 100 children born 50 died
Through the assistance of the Araer
ican Red Cross conditions were so
changed in Roumania that in June,
1920, the infant mortality rate was
normal.
Isn't this a recordv to be proud of
Let's make it better.
The fourth annual roil call will
remain open until the night of
Thanksgiviug day to allow all who
haven't yet renewed their member
ship to do so. With the war over,
the Red Cross has a program of real
work ahead of it, and although the
drive for funds is not as intensive as
during the w;ar, do not think '(the
dollar or more you may contribute
will not be used to good advantage,
for it will.
KNIGHTS OF
Ml IIMRIIS IM
THE 'AT HOME'
DANCE AND CARD PARTY AT
THEIR HALL LAST EVENING
PROVES PLEASANT ONE
From Thursday's Dally.
Last evening the Knights of Colum
bus hall was the scene of a most
delightful social gathering In which
the members of the order and their
lady friends participated, and until
a late hour the delights of the eve
ning were continued.
The members of the Knights of
Columbus have established a reputa
tion as royal entertainers and this
was fully vindicated last evening in
the pleasant manner in which thy
held ope house to their friends. This
is the second entertainment of this
nature thatf this organization has
held and it proved as enjoyable as
the initial dance and card party held
last season at the hall.
The greater portion of the mem
bers of the party devoted themselves
to dancing, the Eagle orchestra be
ing secured for the occasion and to
the tuneful music the young people
tripped the measures of the dance
in the auditorium on the lower floor
of the building while the lodge room
and ante rooms on the top floor were
occupied by the other members of
the party in the delights of cards.
The interest in the card games wai
the main feature of the evening.
In the contest Mrs. L. B. Egenberger
was awarded the royal prize and Mrs.
J. C. Petersen, Sr., the consolation
prize for the ladies and in the gen
tleman's contest Emmons Ptak se
cured the first prize and Frank Fish
er the consolation. Others in the
party who were fond of other gam?s
found amusement in pinochle, rummy
and other card games and at these a
great deal of pleasure was derived.
At a suitable hour the members of
the party were treated to a dainty
and thoroughly ' enjoyable luncheon
that had been prepared by the ladies
of the Knights and which certainly
hit the right spot with the members
of the Jolly party.
It was with regret that the home
going hour was reached and the mem
bers of the jolly party are hopeful
that in the near future the Knights
of Columbus may decide to entertain
once more their friends from outsida
of the order and certainly this event
will be looked forward to with great
pleasure.
LITTLE FLOUR MILL
MAY SOON PASS OUT
Trade Commission Sees a Movement
to Confine Grinding to Large Con
cerns Having Standard Outfit
Washington, Nov. 21. A strong
tendency toward concentration of the
wheat flour mills in a number of the
large concerns was noted by the fed
eral trade commission in a report to
congress of an investigation on the
industrial made public today. The
inquiry was made in connection with
the general food investigation under
taken by the commission during the
war. The trend toward concentra
tion in the industry was attributed
to the industrial development of the
qountry and the demand for stand
ardization of bands of flour from the
large centers of population. This
condition has largely eliminated the
small capacity mill in the last de
cade, it was said, as the large con
cerns are better able to supply a uni
form product. Ten of the larger mil
ling companies, the report said, now
have a productive capacity of more
than half the flour consumed in this
country.
Basing its figures on sales of thirty-seven
companies, the commission's
report shows that in the five years
from 1913 to 18. the average price
of flour increased from $4.15 to
$12.22 per parrel, or 146 per cent,
while retail prices increased only 119
per cent and the farmer received an
Increase of 16-0 per cent for his
wheat.
More than 12.000.000 tons of bi
tuminous coal were produced in the
U. S. during the week November 12,
the geological survey estimated to
day in its weekly report. Had it not
been that many miners were idle n
armistice day. a production record for
the year probably would have been
made, the survey said.
The soft coal output thus far this
year is placed at 476.000,000 tons
which is less than the production
during the same period in 1918 by
38,000,000 tons, but approximate
67,000.000 tons ahead of the total of
the first 270 working days of 1919.
It is significant to note, the report
said, that 1920 is now within 6,000,
000 tons of 1917 when requirements
were large and production about
equalled consumption.
Anthracite production during the
week ending November 13. the sur
vey estimated was 1.753,000 tons,
compared with 1,415.000 tons for the
preceding week.

MAKING UP NEW
PEACE-TIME ARMi
Little Difficulty is Expected in Get
ting Enough Men, Says
Chief of Staff.
Washington, Nov. 21. Little diffi
culty in obtaining the 280,000 me
neecssary to make up the peace tim
army authorized by congress is ant
cipated. Major General March, chi
of staff, said in his annual repo
made public by the war departmen
The problem of obtaining the 17,71
officers needed for the reorganize
army is difficult, however, and wa
rendered more so, General Marc
said, by the delay in the enactmen
of legislation governing the reorgar
ization of the army.
"The magnitude of the problem c
selecting the additional officers r(
quired to complete the permaner
complement." said General Marcl
"and the tremendous effect which wii
inevitably be exercised upon the f if
ture efficiency of the entire army I
the character and qualfications
the new officers to be selected, is i
dicated by the fact that the actu
strength of the entire army in co
missioned officers on April 6, 191
was but 5.959. of whom about 6
held provisional appointments."
The general added that the pro
lem was further complicated by t
resignation of 1,647 regular office
in the fiscal year ending last Jur
30. the period covered by his report
Approximately 15,000 applicatio
from former officers and reserve off
cers for transfer to the regular el
tablishment were received by the wf
department before the lists we
closed, the general continued, ar
the tabk of selecting from tf.ese a
plicants, the ten thousand additlo
al officers needed to fill out the arnr
Quota Is still under way.
The work". General March saifl
is rapidly being brought to a col
elusion, with a. celebrity, an equic
and and economy that makes It o
of the outstanding accompli3hmFrfc.
of the war, 25,115 contracts involir
ing obligations to the amount of mo
than $3,100,000,000 having been st
lied up to June 30. 1920, fovolvlfi
payment of $412,400,000, or 13 p
cent . of. the original ' obligations."
Th inort concluded: ,
"10. 'all of these activities wi
which the regular army, has be
