Holiday Goods Lifted

Tribune Washington Bureau
N1ASH1NGTON, Nov. 24.-The
w Federal government to-day
lifted the restrictions placed on
the sale of Christmas goods in
order that more rapid estab-
llshment of normal after-the-war
conditions may result. Grosvenor
B. Clarkson, acting director of
the Council of National Defence,
issued the following:
Before the armistice the Coun-
Gil of National Defence entered
into an agreement with represen-
tatives of leading industries and
retail interests that the sale of
Christmas goods should undergo
certain restrictions.
"The council now believes that
as one of the steps essential to the
rapid establishment of normal af-
teT-Cne-War conditions 1t should,
and it hereby does, lift its ban in
connection with holiday buying, in
the desire to give a natural i'm
petus to the Unemployment of
those normally engaged in the pro-
duction of holiday material and in
the holiday trade. The council is
further impelled, to this decision
by reason of the necessity now
confronting us to get our military
forces and munition factory work.

of life with the least possible

HARW1CH, England, Nov. "a (By
The Associated Press I'm the pres

the Admiralty, twenty-eight more Ger
man submarines surrendered too day.
This was the most imposing under
seas fotilla to haul down the German
flag thus far.
1t included several very large sub
marines and four of the cruiser type,
one being nearly $50 feet in length.
The noted cruiser submarine Deutsch-
land, U-153, was among the number.
She carried two American officers, who
had been rescued from the American
army cargo ship Ticonderoga, torpe-
doed on September 80 last. The Off
GERS were taken to Kiel by the Deutsch-
land, which was returning from a three
months cruise in American waters, and
were landed to-day at Harwich.

in GOOD SHAPE
STOCK FAT AND HAVE PLENTY
TO EAT-NO FEAR FOR REST
OF WINTER.

Pierre, Jan. 2S.-Reports from the
country between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills say that cattle
were never in better shape at this
season of the year as they are this
year. Last fall was dry and grass
cured on the ground before frost, and
so far this winter there has been only
enough snow that cattle can get what
moisture they want in eating grass,
and that they do not waste time in
hunting water holes, o does the
stock owner need waste his time
keeping water holes cut in the ice of
the ponds. Cattle are fat as in the
fall, and in good shape to stand any
grief which the rest of the winter
may bring them. There has been
some feeding of cows, but not of the
beef cattle, and the hay supply is suf-
ficient to meet practically any needs
which may be made upon it from now
on. Last year the fall rains kept
grass green until frost, and what
cattle could gather on the prairie was
Of no value as fodder, and that was
one of the aus of the heavy loss
of last season.

some HUSKER
LENNON MAN SMASHES ALL
CORN HUSKING RECORDS.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 2S.-Back in the
days when quilting parties and
"huskin' bees" were real sport, Will
Highstreet would have been a hero
with the bashful maidens suggesting
a game of postoffice in order to re-
ward him.
But in wartimes, popular fancy
runs to uniforms and aviation Cog
giles and the fact that Highstreet set
a record husking corn is almost lost
upon the world. But this is what he
did:
Highstreet halls from Lennox. In
AZ days he husked $500 bushels last
fall, his high run being 122 bushels
a day for 10 days. In n hour he
filled 25 bushels and on a day when
the mercury was 20 below, he husked
lao bushels in eight hours.
Small wonder that he claims the
record. Some envious souls set out
to match him, but, according to the
neighbors, he had them with their
tongues out and gasping for air in
right smart time.

KAISER WELL GUARDED
ON TRIPS TO BELGIUM
Extreme Precautions Taken in
Traveling-Even Own Troops
Disarmed.

How closely the German emperor Is
guarded when he travels through Bel.
GUM Is told as follows by a CORE.
spondent Of the London Daily Chron.
icle, who several times has witnessed
the kaiser's arrival.
Whenever the passage of the impe-
rial train Is to take place the fact is
not known to the chief railway office
until the same day and to his subordi-
mates not until a quarter of an hour
before the arrival. In the station the
lines are all kept free.
"All workmen on this occasion,
whether Belgian or German, were dis
patched outside, and access to the sta
ton was forbidden. This applied to
all passengers as well. The military
guards OCCUPYING parts of the station
and the environs were ordered to leave
their posts and pile their arms. The
only persons allowed on the platform
were the station master, his employees
appointed to work the signals and the
military chief. There was no guard
of honor, no manifestation whatever.
This clearing of the station takes
place at every station through which
the train passes, which it does at the
maximum regulation speed. At Brus.
sells the d%etraining took place opposite
the Place Roger, which is q military
post since the occupation.
During the presence of the kaiser

FROZEN BODY OF RANCHER
FOUND IN BARNARD.

Pierre, Jan. 28.-A neighbor who
went to the farm of William Sweeley,
a bachelor Lyman county rancher. on
a business trip, found the frozen body
of Sweeley lying in the snow in his
barnyard. A forkful of hay which he
evidently was carrying to his stock
when he dropped dead, was lying by
his side. While it is not certain how
long the body had lain in the snow.
the fact that his horses in the barn
had gnawed large holes in their man
gers is taken as an indication that his
death occurred several days before
the body was found.
