LoNpoNERs WANT RABBITS.

The demand for rabbits is so great
in London that special rabbit trains
are being run over some of the branch
lines in Devon and Somerset. Deal
ers have established services of motor
lorries to bring the rabbits from the
farms on which they have been
caught to the nearest distributing
centers. In normal times Devon
farmers are content to receive ~
cents for a rabbit. Now some deal
ers are giving three times that
amount for freshly trapped rabbits.

QUAIL PROTECTION.

Notwithstanding the agitation IL
favor of protecting quail for several
years in some sections, no bills of
this kind were passed this year, and
SO states still provide quail shooting.
The seasons e shortened six weeks
in Oklahoma and two weeks in Ne
vada- Limits were established for
the first time in Arkansas and New
Hampshire, reduced in Iowa from 25
to Is per day, in Oklahoma from 25
to 10, in Minnesota from 10 to 10,
and increased in Nevada from Is to
30. All but IA of the states which
permit quail hunting now have a
limit of 90 birds or less per day.

MINING LUCK MADE SPOKANE
Statement That WashIngeon's inland
City "Happened" by q. seroko
Of Chance.

att was an accident that the cit
of Spokane, Wash, became a great
center of population and industry
an accident due to mining" recently
remarked Henry Hapgood, q mer-
chant of that thriving coast state, the
Washington Post remarks. "When
the Northern Pacific railway reached
through to the coast, back in 1883,
Spokane was a struggling village Of
a few hundred people, who had seri-
ous doubts whether Sprague or Cho-
ney Spokane Falls would eventually
be the center of commerce for that
section. Then Old Man Pritchard
made a strike, discovering placer
gold up near Murray in the Occur
d'Alene. The East was just ripe for
a mining boom and the Northern Pa
ciic vas ready to assist any such en-
terprise. There was a rush to Thomp-
SOD falls over the mountain to Muir
ray, and that country saw the first
real activity in its history.
"The trail over Thompson pass
was a bad one, and there was need of
a nearer supply point. Spokane
seized the opportunity by going after
the trade by way of Occur d'Alene
lake. That move centered the com
mercial activities of the inland en-
pire in Spokane"

POLE FILLED WITH NUTS.

When telephone linemen pulled
down a pole in this town recently
they discovered near the top a small
hole, obviously that of a woodpecker.
But upon further examination it was
found that the pole was hollow some
distance from the opening, and when
they started to move it they heard a
strange rafting inside. The hollow
space was almost filled with hickory
nuts, probably the winter store of a
family of squirrels. There were six
gallons of the nuts.-From North

Good Moxe-pu,h Il Along!

The announcement from Commissioner Butler
that he will sponsor resolution to relocate the
hideous Welcome Arch" that now dishgures our
artistic court house square, is welcome and a
move that should be pushed along. II there ever
was any good reason for maintaining this in
candescent trayesty on civic beauty In the most
conspicuous spot in Omaha, it had long since
passed, and the survival simply bellies Omaha's
claims to progressiveness so noticeably manifested
in every other direction. II the arch were "a
thing Of beauty and JOY forever" people all over
the city would be clamoring for it. but II looks as
II it is more of an "Unwelcome Arch than q
Welcome Arch" Any location but its present
location, however, would be an improvement, and
no location whatever would be still better.

Back to "Watehful Waiting"

President Wilson has announced his intention
of notifying Senior Carranza that the Mexican
reply is quite satisfactory to the United States,
and that negotiations between the two countries
will be commenced as early as possible, looking
to an adjustment of difficulties now existing.
Mediation will not be requested, for the president
is Of the opinion that commissioners representing
the United States and the de facto government OF
Mexico will be able to conclude the needed ar
rangements for peace along the border. Mean
while, the dogs Of war will be held in leash, and
"watchfu waiting" will be resumed on the basis
Of greatly increased armed force. Our govern
ment still questions, unofhcialy, Senior Carranza's
ability to make good his promises. The uncer-
tainty Of his tenure Of Office, the lack of fealty
among his adherents, and the general incapacity
he has shown in all serious affairs combine to dis
credit him. Yet Mr.. Wilson, welded to his own
views and thoroughly committed to Carranza by
his own acts, feels he should give the FIRST chief
another chance to make good The next few
weeks will determine il the old shoemaker's plan
OF cutting off the dogs tail little at time is
better than to take it all off at single blow.

Figures Worth Pondsrins Over.

The report Of the State Board Of Control
shows the total number Of inmates in the fifteen
institutions under its supervision, as under pre-
sumable date Of December /, last, to be 47S7,
which, with $50 on parole or Through, makes .
total Of s.746 dependents, detectives and de-
linquents under care Of the state Of Nebraska. II
Is not wholly fair Of course, to class together all
inmates Of penitentiares insane asylums, indus
trial schools, schools for blind and deaf and
soldiers homes, for there 10 vast difference be-
tween deiinquents. detectives and mere depend
ents, but they are alike in the one point Of being
public wards and being maintained, in whole or
in part, by the self-supporting inhabitants.
These figures mean that one out Of ESQ Of our
population are constantly in public institutions
and the sad part OF II 10 that half Of the number
are in insane and feeble-minded asylums. The
enumeration does not take into count either the
delinquents in local custody or the detectives
and dependents cared for outside Of state institu-
tons. What tremendous problem is here pre-
sentedl By what methods should these unfor-
tunates be treated How stop the steadily in
creasing burden Of their care, thus imposed on
othersi What measures Of prevention are pos
sble through removing the underlying causesi
Correct answers to these questions will be worth
while.

Status Of the National Guard.

The construction placed on the new law gov
erning the National Guard by Major General
Mills varies in some particulars from the general
understanding Of its meaning. He holds that the
Guard may still be mustered into the federal serv
ice without being required to take the new oath.
This will perpetuate condition that has been
found to be intolerable Friction between state
and federal authority is always present, and some
recent exhibitions in different states show how
ready men are to take advantage Of the tech
nicalty that supports the clash. The new law
was designed to cure this defect, and to make
the National Guard an integral part Of the army
Of the nation, when called upon for national duty
II II Is not to have this effect it will fall short Of
its purpose, and thus fail to be Of real service
However. General Mills view is not likely to be
shared by military authorities in general, who
recognize the weak spot sought to be remedied.

Advertising has become recognized as an es-
sential element in modern life. Without Il m
dustry could not continue. One Of the results
that the Associated Advertising Clubs Of the
World has helped to bring about Is the practically
universal recognition Of the fact that advertising
is essential to the merchandising Of goods and
that It 10 useless to make things for sale unless
there Is some systematic and intelligent way OF
letting the consumer know how things may be
obtained.
More than that, these clubs have made II
clear that It Is Of no use to advertise product
unless that product is good product Of its kind.
Advertising viii not sell that WHICH Of itself has
mo merit. And 50 the advertising agencies and
advertising men have been influences for better
production and better products
In turn, the Associated Advertising Clubs OF
The World have laid emphasis. particularly in the
slsst two or three years, upon the necessity Of
truthfulness in advertising. Not only must the
goods themselves that are advertised be meri-
toricus, but what is said about them in ADVERTISE

fix telephone rates other than those named in the
