FARMERS URGED TO
SUPPORT LIBERTY LOAN

Women war workers in Washing
ton are to be required to wear bat
tleship gray" uniform beginning this
winter, says the New York Tribune
and gives the following information
concerning the uniforms:
"The next uniform of the war Is the
battleship gray Of the woman war
workers. The War Department has
decided to require its women en-
ployes to wear a gray uniform, which
will probably be adopted for all other
women war workers.
"Only girls who are enlisted will
have to don the uniform at once, and
the order is abroad early enough to
keep them from buying other fall
and winter clothes.
"The purpose of adding the battle
ship gray to the navy blue Of the
yeowoman and the dusty tan of the
motor driver is twofold. Just as the
French girls were criticized at the be.
ginning of the war for spending too
much money on foolish clothes, many
of the American war workers, who
are receiving higher pay than they
ever had in their lives, have been cen
sured for indiscreet and impractical
expense on their dress. The gray
uniform planned by the War Depart
ment would obviate the difficulty Of
deciding when and how war worker
was improperly dressed.
Another advantage that 1t Is
thought would be, derived from uni
form dress for unenlisted workers |:
that 1t would engender esprit d.
corps, that women would icel more
that they did belong to the bidder

"The turnover Of labor in some O

WOMEN WAR WORKERS

The heads of many great farmers

signed appeal to the farmers OF All

Fourth Liberty Loan worthy OF the
great foundation industry OF agricuf
ture.
"Whoeyer may fall short OF this

abate his efforts. To let up for a
minute would give the enemy time
to recognize his forces and prolone
the war. The penalty we as a nation
would pay for such mistake shoulc
it seriously affect subscriptions to the
fourth Liberty Loan would be the
unnecessary loss of the lives o
thousands of our brave boys.
Nothing will so convince the enc

PRIMARY IN NEBRASKA

United States Senator Gearge W.
Norris claim to lead the republican
ticket in Nebraska as the party
nominee for reelection read clear
last evening. on the basis of returns
of we'll over half the vote cast in
Tuesdays primary. <
Norris led congressman Sloan, his
nearest rival. by 2,100 votes in a
total representing probably so per
cent of the total vote cast. He led
Douglas county to Sloan by 400, but
carried Lancaster over Sloan by
900. In 703 out-state precincts he
was 1900 votes ahead of Sloan and
gaining slowly but steadily with
fresh returns.
Nomination for former Governor
Morehead to be the democratic
nominee for United States senator
and of Governor Keith Neville for
the democratic denomination for
governor continued to be indicated
by big leads. Morehead had nearly
two and half times as many votes
as Metcalfe, his nearest competitor,
and nearly as many as all four of
hs rivals put together. Neville has
nearly 20 per cent more to his cred
it than did Charles w. Bryan, his
only opponent. Bryan's defeat is
much more disastrous than the one
he received in the same contest
with Neville two years ago.

BNING A MERCHANT
Is NOT ALL FUN

Many people seem TO think that be-
ing a merchant is about the easiest
and most profitable proposition there
is
This idea has been entertained
from time immemorial. OF course it
is just about SO per cent wrong But
the illusion exists just the same.
As q matter of fact running a store
is about the hardest thing there is in
the way of making a living-that is
for the ordinary man. The average
person who runs a store works longer
hours. works harder and has more
worry and more risk than almost
anybody else. The profits he gains
are not at all commensurate with the
work he does and the hazards he
undertakes.
We are not saying this in a COM
planning way. If we didn't like retail
ing we would get out of it. But il
actually amuses us to hear about the
good time and the big profits the av-
erage retailer is making. Right now
the retailer is having the hardest
time in his career. Prices on nearly
every thing is hitting the sky, and
the remarkable thing about the
whole situation is that many people
blame the retailer.
Speaking for ourselves we can
say that for months past
our biggest fight has been in the di-
rection of buying goods at figure
that would enable us to get by and
make a living and at the same time
squeeze down the prices to the low
est possible penny. giving people
good goods for fair amount of mon
ey, it is a wonderful thing to be able
to build up reputation for fairness
decency and honesty. A merchant
gets close to people and knows them
for what they really are. AS such he
builds up some real friendship We
have some close friends among our
customers whose esteem and good
will are worth more to us than our
business. 80
But running store is far from be- |
ing never-ending round of delight |
IL is not a means of making riches |
in hurry. Rather it is a hard and |
serious proposition wherein one does |
exceedingly well if he makes a mod
est living and lays up a little against
the coming of rainy day.

THAT MAN POWER BIIL,

The cheapest way to end this war
cheapest in both men and money-is
to attack the enemy with an over
whelming force. That is the plan
that General March has laid before
congress. There is no doubt that
the needed legislation will be speed
lily enacted and that everything will,
by common consent, no matter how
important it may seem to its advo-
Gates. be laid aside until the needed
law is on the statue books There
is no doubt if General Foch had the
men that the proposed legislation
would supply, that he could break
the German lines in many places
during the next few weeks. not only
on the western front, but there
would be an advance from Archangel
from Vlandivostock. on the Italian
front and from Saloniki. He has
not the men at present but by April
he will have them and soon after
that the allies will dedicate the
terms of peace.
When those eighty divisions are
over the sea. with their supplies.
their guns and their ammunition and
begin to move, that dream of world
power which the Kaiser has been
sndulging for the last forty years
will Dissolve itself into thin air, and
such action will be taken that
neither he nor any other monarch
will indulge in such dreams again.
The Americans saved the day on the
battle front. and as more millions
roll into the lighting lines the allies
will march on toward a victory that
will make this world a fit place in
which 10 live Within few days
that man power bill will be enacted.

and unsatisfactory conditions pre-

feel certain that there are grounds
for some of these complaints but I'm
sure the public will be interested to
know that the reasons are twofold

railroads between the homes and the

environments and then to the sea-
board is making extraordinary de-

LIBERTY LOAN
INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds will bear Al per cent
interest.
The secretary has been insistent
that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at Az per cent.
He points out that a raise in the
rate of interest of only one-fourth
of l per cent on $4,000, 100000 of
Government bonds would mean an
annual increase of S25,O00,OOO in
interest charges, and that this mon
ey would have to be raised by in
creased taxation and paid by the
people of the country. 1t would not
be paid by one class only, because
there are consumption as well as
other kind of taxes, and the con-
sumption taxes reach every class of
people.
"As an intelligent people," said
Secretary McAdoo during the Third
Liberty Loan Campaign, 1--WE should
now make a stand for the financing
of our Government during the per-
iod of this war at stabilized rate of
interest, say at Az per cent per
annum, so that all business and all
investments may be adjusted to that
basis, and so that We ourselves may,
protect ourselves against successive
ly increased rates of interest on
Government loans"
Neither our patriotism nor our sup
port of the Liberty Loans are meas
ured in fractions of per cent.
