Big Sugar Beet Crop Expected to Minimize Shortage In Country With the exception oi the Lin coln and Omaha divisions, the soil in all parts of Nebraska has become too dry for vegetation and cannot be cultivated to the best advantage, the Burlington railroad's weekly crop report issued yesterday, states. The sugar beet crop, however, is reported to be in a satisfactory condition. An abnormally large acreage will be harvested this year in Nebraska, and the crop will at least be normal, according to the report The large sugar beet crop is ex pected to minimize the big sugar shortage now pervailing through out the central states.

"You Don't Know What Feeling Tired Means" "In Warsaw, which had not been destroyed, a city of one million inhabitants, one of the most prosperous cities of Europe before the war, the streets were lined with people in the pangs of starvation. Famished and rain-soaked, they squatted there, with their elbows on their knees or leaning against the buildings, too feeble to lift a hand for a bit of money or a morsel of bread if .one offered it, perishing of hunger and cold. Charity did what it could. The rich gave all that they had, the poor shared their last crust. Hundreds of thousands were perishing. Day and night, the picture is before my eyes a people starving, a nation dying." (From a report by the U. S.

Straw Hat Season Now Officially Closed To Classy Dressers The straw hat season closed yes terdayabsolutely. In fact, among those of the ultra ultra fashionable men's set like John Lee Webster, L. 1 . Kountze, v. vv. j Hull, Joe Barker and Sam Burns, i the season closed September 1 and they put their hay lias aown in wc well-known moth balls until next June. The almanac gives most of the other important dates, but for some reason it omits this important one. It tells us that summer begins on June 21 and that fall on September 22 and such like important calen dar events. But not a word about the end of the straw hat season. Still it's pretty generally known when it ends a sort of an unwrit ten law, you know. And all us classy dressers buy new winter hats or have the Greek down at the cor ner revamp our old one for another season on Farnam street and the fashionable boulevards of the city. Oh, what would we men do if if weren't for our fashions. How we dote upon them and how we love to be always up to the minute! Oh, indeed we must have always the "dernier cri" in fashions, as they say in that dear Paris. So, off with the hay mat and on with the soft one, fellers. The time has come. And besides you can buy a new felt hat for only about twice as much as it cost you last fall.
