THE old adage, "Clothes
l Do Not Make the Man, -
might have been true in the
days when stage coaches
were the only mode of travel
on these vast prairies of Ne
braska-and when Mother
Earth was the only sidewalk
that pedestrians had-and
when the 'roadhouse was the
rude, but hospitable STOP
ping place."
But today, when refine
ment and super-intelli-
gence have driven before
them these relics of for
mer days and replaced
them with swift modes Of
travel-when the "road
house" has been super
seded by the perfectly
equipped hotels and when
all social and business and
civil life is on a higher
plane than ever before

TOBACCO BELT ENRICHED

Louisville, KY, December 19-Ken-
lucky farmers who produce about 30
per cent of the country's tobacco,
have experienced unprecedented pros
pecity since 1915 and this autumn
were able to get nearly three times
the price with which they would have
be N content at the beginning of the
war.
Eighty per cent. of the 250,00O,O0O
pounds of hurley tobacco used annu-
ally in the United States comes from
Kentucky. In 1914 prices for all quail
tiles of leaf, Tugs were Is cents a lb.
while the price for the heavy, dark
export type of tobacco grown in the
"black patch" of western Kentucky
claimed from to 16 cents.
When the war began tobacco pro-
duction in European countries was
virtually halted and there was a ire
mepdous drain on the big stocks of
American tobacco in Europe and ware
houses. 1t was the demand made
upon these reserve stocks that sent
prices upward, rather than the over
seas shipments, which were in real
ity smaller than those in times OF
peace, dealers say.

MORAL CONDITIONS IN GERMANY
RAD

Berlin, December 14-(Delayed)-
Thousands of women are facing star
walton thru the loss of their war jobs,
are adding to the perils of Bolshevik-
ism in Germany.
The women munitions workers, who
are rapidly being demobilized, are
unable to find employment, as practi-
cally all factories are idle through
lack of raw materials. Added to their
ranks are other thousands who have
been engaged in similar occupations,
Some have obtained employment on
farms, but the great majority face a
serious situation.
The spartacus group has seized the
opportunity to augment their ranks
with these women, hoping not only
to obtain their political support but
to influence other men through them
Twenty-one million women are said
to be eligible to vote for republics in
national assembly. 1t was estimated
today that there are more than 20O,-
900 illigimate children in Germany as
a result of war conditions.

XYIHAT is peace worth to you?
w That, in the mind of D. G. Wills,
chairman of the Central Liberty Loan
Committee for the Fourth Federal Re-
serve District, is the question which
Uncle Sam will be asking the nation
next April when he announces the
terms of the Fifth Liberty Loan. III a
recent interview in Cleveland Wills
expressed the thought that the total
subscriptions to the Fifth Loan would
be one measure OF the sincerity of the
thousands and thousands of persons
who could be heard before the sign
ing of the armistice protesting loudly
their willingness to give everything
they had for a speedy and victorious
peace.
"And 1 believe that there was sin
cerity behind these protestations,"
Wills continued. my belief in my
neighbor and my fellow-countrymen is
so strong that feel certain the Fifth
Loan will be subscribed, whatever it's
amount.
"Those of us who stayed at home
are of the same caliber as those boys
who went overseas and kept the Hun
on the run till armistice day. The
tenacity, the aggressiveness, the
squareness, the fidelity to duty which
made the American soldier the talk of
the world are all characteristics, as
well, of the home folk. They are in
gradients of Americanism and will
NAV their mart in tho maetinp of oh
legations of the war and the after-the-
war period Just as they did on the
battlefields.
"The terms of the Fifth Loan have
not yet been decided. The amount is
not yet known. But I think know
the answer of America when the gov
eminent says to us next spring: Here
is your peace; here is your victory.
What is 1t worth to your"
