The new Vegetable oil nut
butter, which is known as the
"Holiday Nutmargarine," is
having a phenomenal sale
not because it deceives the
users of butter believing it
animal fat butter; no, not at
all, but because it is a revela
tion to them that it is sr
good, really superior to mos
butter in the test of taste, flav
or and aroma.
Users' claims are filled wit
Enthusiasm.
Our claims are Conservative

From Out of the West,
Young Lochinvar came out of the
west, it's true, but the real Miss 1918
Lochinvar comes from the east. Lieu
tenant Oscar .Roman was recently
married to a charming Springfield girl
at the home of the G. M. Durkees
in Dundee. And behind the military
wedding lies a tale.
The bride-to-be was busily engaged
in entertaining the Ladies' Aid society
at her home one wintry afternoon
wfrcn a telegram was delivered from
her soldier lover away out in Ne
braska. Lieutenant Roman, who was
learning to fly'at the balloon school,
had hoped to go east for his bride at
Christmas time. Uncle Sam and Dan
Cupid do not always co-operate, how
ever, and the young officer found that
he could not get his furlough at the
holiday time. All this the yellow slip
stated, but mi fewer words. Was the
young lady daunted? Not she. "The
Ladies' Aiders'' were bowed gra
cijjjsly out, the bride-to-be scram
bled into her traveling suit, assisted
mother and father into theirs and
caught the evening train for Omaha.
Arriving in our fair city, the party
went at once. to the Durkee home.'as
Lieutenant Raymond Durkee and
Lieutenant Roman had become great
friends while ballooning, and Mr. and
Mrs. Durkee had very graciously in
vited the young couple to have the
ceremony performed there. The re
sult is a very happy young Mr. and
Mrs. Lieutenant now living at Fort
all doubting young women who are a
bit skeptical about these war-time
marriages we would say, "Go thou
and do likewise."
Miss Sholes in Washington.
Miss Helen Sholes left Thursday
evening for Washington, BTG, where
she will occupy an important govern
ment position. Miss Sholes obtained
the position through Mr. Herbert
Daniels, formerly of Omaha, who re
cently entered governmental service,
and she will make her hom with Mr.
and Mrs. Daniels. Miss Sholes, who
is the daughter of the late Mr, and-
Mrs, De V'ere Sholes, is well known
in Omaha.. After finishing a business
course at the Van Sant school Miss
Sholes held an important position in
the Ak-Sar-Ben office
A fib is small at first, but it rolls and grows and
comes back a monstrosity. : : : : :
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
YOLAwcre, in a tight pinch and so, rather than be frank and refuse to
answer (or tell the truth), you fibbed a little.-'
That little fib called for another. It put you in deep water and
when it came back tenfold vou told another in an endeavor to squirm out
.of it. . "
And the tiny little fib ripples and ripples and spreads into an atrocious
lie.
One Thousand Books Promised.
The Collegiate Alumnae associa
tion have promised to provide 1,000
books for the library of the Nebraska
base hospital in France. The mcni-rl
bers ask the co-operation of all who
wish to assist in this good work of
providing reading matter for
wounded soldiers. Good novels, Eu
ropean histories and especially French
dictionaries and text books ard asked
for. The books may be taken to the
Sunderland brothers' office at Sev
enteenth and Harney, where they will
be collected. The books must be sent
within a week, as it will take some
time to pack them for shipment. -
What doj:ou gain by a lie?
Any sclt-glory? Any respect of your friends? The admirationof thqr'
world? 7
Not a thing.
But this is what you lose: ' - . '
The confidence of your (friends and associates.
Indeed, you lose friends along with' the fading confidence.
The respect of the world at large.
A lie loses for you the esteem of the wrthy and the trust of the good. '
It takes from you the interest of the classes and the faith of the
nrasses. ' r
And it loses for you the greatest of all achievements love. For to win
love is an achievement..
A lie isften more disastrous than an earthquake. It shatters the
best to iits; it is more dangerous than the German gas, for its fumes are
wafted in on every breeze.
A lie brings you nothing but grief. "
Is it worth the telling?

i
Wattles- '
Some ' (f the Omaha daily newspapers have been printing stories and ed
itorals concerning the relations between the Food Administrator and the
Omaha ba&ers which, either by design or through ignorance, have been gross
ly misleading as to facts and in spirit. ' v
' .'
Directly and by innuendo, we have been accused bfat least two of these
newspapers of being "unpatriotic," of thinking ourselves "exempted and
privileged," "big and powerful enough to defy the law," that we try to "bluf
and bully," that we insist upon having a "run-in with the food administra
tor," and that we have "prof iteering proclivities.
" We, therefore, want to come before the public with these frank and
cear statements:
Stories at Social Settlement. ,
Mrs. Philip Welch and Mrs. C. W.
Pollard will tell stories 'at t lie chil-
Vlren's hour of the oulh Side .Social !
ISettlcmcnt Saturday at 1 o'clock.

There will be social dancing for
grownups from 8:30 until 11 o'clock.
The Russian Progressive club meets

L'Alliance Francaise.
Madainoiselle De I Ian gave a talk
at the meeting of the 1'Alliance Fran
caise, held Thursday evening in the
City National Bank- building.
Mademoiselle De Han is a Belgian
woman and has been instructor in
French at Brownelt Hall.
Mrs. W. J. Mettlen Now
Has Big Job as Red
x Cross State Inspector
1.
First-Wq excuse the newspaper men for their inaccuracies; We realize
that their work must be done hurriedly andihey are apt to err in their" haste. 1
x Second We have no fight with Mr. Wattles. He is trying in a big, broad,
earnest and conscientious manner to discharge faithfully his dutyto his. fel
low citizens. Wr desire only to help him so far as lies within our power.
Third We are not "unpatriotic" .One of our number has Jwo sons in
the army; another has two. These; four boys volunteered. Others of us have
sons in the uniform. Nearly all of us have done committee work for the sale
of Liberty Bonds, Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. N ' . ' . ' . .
Nor do w;e consider ourselves "exempted and privileged." The greatest.
asset we have is the good-will of the public, and we consider ourselves their
" servants. Nor are we trying to "defy" the law, "bluff and bully," or have any
run-in." .'
. Above all, we are not "profiteers." This we shall prove, incidentally, by
analytical reports of our business,' which we expect to submit to Mr. Wattles.
We were never "ordered" to reduce the price of bread in Omaha to 7 k.f
We were not even requested to do ft. There has been no law requiring it. WE
MADE THE REDUCTION VOLUNTARILY as a-try-out measure of co-op-
-eration with the food administration after our committee visited Mr. Hbover.
This voluntary reduction in price was tried through December. We found
ythe 7 jc price left us no profit in fact, caused us a lossi . On January 4th we
notified Mr. Wattles of our finding and said we would put the price back
at 8c on January 7th, but at his request we deferred raising it until January
12th, a vveek later. Before sanctioning the return to our Novorhber price, Mr.
Wattles merely, desired to assure himself of its necessity and w.isdom. We
are, therefore, to submit to him a "questionnaire," which when filled, out,
will prove our contention. , v - .
- Fair play is all .we ask.' We are not "fighting" for it. We are only everting
our efforts to save our businesses from closing their doors. , :
We sympathize with Mr. Wattles in his trying office, and believe that h
intends to be fair and just to everybody concerned to the' best of his ability.
' , .-While the decision i pending before the Food-Administrator, we believe"
.' the public will be fair enough, both to Mr.) Wattles and. tous, to suspend
judgment based on inaccurate newspaper reports. V - ' . '
Mrs. V. J. Mettlen has a big job
at the Red Cross state inspection
warehouse in the Haubins building.
Mrs. Mettlen is censor for all the
surgical dressings produced in the
state. . .
Anyone who thinks Mrs. 3Iettlen's
is a "soft'' job is recommended to
pay a visit to the warehouse and
iearn differently.
Mrs. Mettlen has a special impetus
to do Red Cross wprk, besides her
patriotism. His name is Lieutenant
Crane Mettlen, now stationed at Fort
Sill. Okl.

A Play-
. By HELEN M,E McDOXALD. .
SCENE I. t
" Bud favored his nioff ing sleep. Ia
infancy, he "pounaed his ear" pre
ferably between 5 and 9 a. in. He
pursued the same course as a boy.
Xfanhood found him sleepier.
This conversation was a daily oc- '
currence in his home: - '
. 7:00 a. m. "Bul," called Ins mother,,
immediately after waking.
7:30 a. m. "Bud?"
8:00 a. m. "Bud!" A muffled grunt
horn upper regions indicated an un
happy "Y-e-s."
8:30 a. m. "Bud! Have I got to wait
breakfast all day for you?"
"All. right. I'm coming,' yawned
a voice laden with gloom.
Presently, pattering feet down the
stairs announced the advent of Jack
Johnson, Bud's dog. His demeanor,
as he entered tne kitchen, ytis half
apologetic, wholly friendly.
Isn't Bud up yet?" asked his ex
asperated mistress.
A sober tail wig-wagged, "Not yet. '
Then Jack Johnson sat down and lift
ed luminous brown eyes. Suddenly,
out lolled his red tongue and he de
liberately displayed twf gleaming
rows of ivory teeth the while his
shining black body quivered. ,
With twitching lips, his mistress,-'
turned away to replenish the fire un
der her son's breakfast.
SCENE II.
Lucilc. BudV bain niece, came
visiting from the far-off Philippine '
I islands. She was at the age where
I gurgles and cooing accomplished her
ends. She seemed even to doting
relatives rather backward in her
speech, and they impatiently awaited
hef first intelligible ,word. A few .
mornings after Lucile's arrival, she
electrified all with the following:
"Bug." , y
"Bug?" 1 -
"Bug!".
. But "Bug" slept on.
SCENE 3.
Fort Snelling Training Camp. En
ter the bugler. Lifting his bugle to
his lips and facing tb,e spot where the
dawn ought to be, he hrilly sends'
forth, his plaint:
"I can't get 'em up,
"I can't get 'em up,
"I ' can't get 'em up in the morn
mg. But he did. Hundreds of tke na
tion's young patriots tumbled out into
the ; cold bleak morning,-.ready for
setting-up exercises before breakfast.
Among them was Bud. And it was
5:30 a. ni.
Today, a fir.-,: lieutenant of artil
lery, 88th division, Camp Dodge. Iowa,
laughs heartily as he remembers.
"Fort Snelling cured me of that,
too," he admits, blushing.
' Jennie's sweetheart; nroute to .
France, had just one day in Omaha.
Jennie was anxious to celebrate every
minute with him, but she was a ,
stenographer and her time belonged
toothers. " Summoning her courage,
she telephoned her employer, a
woman, and asked for "jusf a half
hour, please."
"Why, there is nothing that -cannot
wait until tomorrow, Jennie. Take
the whole day." What welcome', per
mission it was! '
, Next morning a tearyreyed girl laid
her head on her employer's shoulder.
"Oh," she gulped, "if it hadn't been
for you, I wouldn't'havc this." '
Shyly, she displayed a glittering
diamond on the third finger of her left
hand. ,
