Combinations in Food Sales

The sale OF a food commodity
cheaper than the normal price on

nation sales, and the food administra-

Combination sales frequently result
in Nle sale of foodstuffs than

GEORGE SAYS

FEAR SUBS
British Premier Announces the
Navy Has Sunk Four Boats
in One Day; Allies Con-
suItation Inadequate.
London, Nov. 19.-Five German
submarines were destroyed on Satur-
day, Premier Lloyd George announced
today in the House of Commons.

In the House of Commons today
former Premier Asquith opened the
debate on the creation of all allied war
council and the recent utterances OF
Premier Lloyd George.
Mr.. Asquith deprecated the set
ting up OF any organization to su-
persede or interfere with the unfet-
tered activity and independent posi-
ton" of the general staff. He op-
posed interference with the ultimate
responsibility of each allied govern
ment for its own forces and to its own
peoples.
Mr.. Asquith said he looked at the
new machinery without bias to see
how far it would conduce to increased
efficiency of prosecution of the war
by the allies. The new scheme had
been nched he declared, i'll an in
dictment of the general strategy of
the allies on the ground that it had
been in several instances dilatory or
misdirected. He felt he would be fail
ing his duty il he did not call atten-
tion to it.
Facilities Inadequate.
Replying to Mr.. Asquith, Mr.,
Lloyd George said the machinery for
consultation among the allies had
become inadequate and that they had
suffered previously on account of de-
fects of the system.
The premier said that any criticism
which he had directed against the
conduct OF, affairs in the past, in pro-
posing the change, was not directed
/ against any stats or. commander-in-
chief of this or any other country.
The premier told the house ar
rangements had been made to supply
information In regard to naval mat
ters to the war council.
The premier said he had no fur,

coA,meal. No other combination will
be permitted, nor will any other ratio
than that here stated be allowed. The
federation of this particular combi-
nation is considered to be a wheat
conservation measure in itself, in that
it may held to encourage the use OF
cornmeal.
A statement from the federal food
administration office says: Dealer
shall not sell either sugar or cornmcal
at price yielding him profit greater
than he has normally enjoyed upon
the particular commodity. The dealer
is not required to make combination
sales of sugar and cornmeal, but may
do so at his discretion"
Active steps will be taken at once
by the state food administration to
enforce this decision in Omaha and
Nebraska.

in the last FIVE years there has been
one divorce for every three and one
half marriages. In the state OF Ne
braska there has been one divorce tor
every five and one-fourth marriages.
The divorce rate in both instances
has doubled in the last IS years.
"The divorce problem today is ap-
palling. In 81 per cent OF the cases
that have come before me there has
not even been a contest. The divorce
merely goes by default. \ f

"A big cause of divorce is the ar
tifcial life we are living. We have
too much lace and powder and poodle
dogs, too much pleasure seeking, too
little of the homely, healthy activi-
ties of Our forefathers.
The latest figures on divorce shows
that this evil is working its havoc
in the homes of the United States
more than anywhere else. The num-
Der of divoyces granted annually IN
a number of counties is as follows:

is granted only on the ground OF
adultery. In Nebraska we grant di-
vorces on any of eight different
grounds.
Divorce Rate Increases
"Our divorce rate is increasing as
it did in the Roman empire. In early
days of that empire, it is said, there
was no record of a legal divorce i'll

divorce was SO common that it was

In our own country in the colonial
days divorce was practically unknown.
