Everybody loves a uniform-even
little maids from school. Aside from
the comfort and convenience OF wear
ing a standard costume, there's a
special thrill this year in putting on
the khaki color or the blue that marks
our war heroes Here is "regula-
ton" school dress for little Miss,
fashioned of heavy blue serge, accord
con pleated from the bust line, belted

No matter how busy you may be, no matter how
little time you have to spare from the rush of af
fairs that presses on you afresh every day, there
is one duty you owe to yourself, there is thing
you can not afford not to do. That is to read
THE LITERARY DIGEST faithfully every week.
You can't pretend even to skim half the mag
azines published nowadays, but here is one it is
actually vital to you to read with care. 1t won't
take long-a couple of hours, perhaps-and it will

can not be at your best anywhere, socially, in the
world of business, in the field of ideas or in mat
tiers of art or religion. 1t summarizes, epitomizes
them all for you, week by week. gives you the
wheat of facts threshed clear of the chaf rumor
and freed from the blighting mildew of bias. It
keeps you informed on all important word-events
everywhere. Read it and stay abreast of the
times.

JUST A WORD WITH YOU, COL!

"The result of the election is really
extraordinary inasmuch as the entire
pro-German and pacifist vote was be-
hind the Wilson ticket. Colonel
Roosevelt.
Ahoy there, Colonel! Please don't
make us laugh, for we have split lips
and sore heart besides.
Your best friends in Nebraska will
tell you how solidly the Non-Partisan
league influence was lined up in sup
port of the leading candidates or your
own ticket, including especially your
sturdy and militant war leader, Sena-
tor Norris.
They will tell you, too, how the
Lincoln Journal openly and exultant-
ly claimed "the solid German vote for
the solid Republican ticket" two
weeks before election, and a very
hasty scanning of the returns will
convince you how well that claim was
justified.
You have won great victory, Col
onel, against the worn and weary war
president at Washington, on whose
shoulders have rested the burdens of
Atlas. You are entitled to exult. But
have a little confidential chat with
your esteemed and admired friend,
George w. Norris, before you repeat
the preposterous charges that "the en-
tire pro-German and pacifst vote
were behind the Wilson democratic
ticket" Omaha World-Herald.

WAR LEAVES BIG AMOUNT
OF U. S. UNIFORMS UNUSED

Washington, D. c., Nov. SO.-De-
mobilization Of the military forces of
the nation will leave in possession of
the Government enormous stores of
clothing. The amount of clothing and
equipage on hand for the use Of the
army November l, 10 days before
hostilities ceased, is shown in a re-
port made public today by Brig. Gen.
Robert E. Wood, Acting Quartermas-
ter General and Director of Purchase
and Storage.
Included in the list of articles of
clothing on hand and not in possession
OF troops November l were, in round
numbers, 100000 cotton coats. g.
100000 woolen coats, 100000 over
coats, 100000 flannel shirts, 45.OOO.-
900 pairs of winter and summer draw
ers, 44,O0O,O0O pairs of winter and
summer undershirts, 100000 pairs
OF shoes of all types, 46,0OO,O 900 pairs
OF stockings and 100000 blankets.
Some of this large supply of cloth
ing, all of which, and even much more.
would have been needed had the war
continued through the winter, will be
used before the troops can be demobil-
lied. Some will be retained for the
regular establishment, officers said,
and the remainder doubtless can be
salvaged.
The Farmington times., 1918-12-06

ming expenses will remain virtually the
same. From the total loans to date
the annual sum for conducting the
bank is above $45,000, and this is as
sured for at least five years, with in
crease of $4,000 on each additional
81 100000 loaned. From this it is clear
that there will be each year an in
creasing surplus. We have no use for
that money above actual needs for
running expenses, and it is probable
that, later on, distribution of it among
the farmer will take
place at periods less frequent than
yearly. Neither the Government nor
anyone connected with the bank gets
any part of it.
Loans Not Delayed By Bank
"Some individuals and concerns en-
gagged in lending money to farmers at
big interest rates, and perhaps a
commission or bonus for so doing, have
been trying to make it appear that
the Federal Land Bank takes weeks
or months to close loans. That is not
true. Where the papers are properly
prepared and gotten to US promptly
by the farm loan association authori-
ties, a loan can be and is completed
within three or four days at most. All
that is necessary for US to do is to ver-
ify the papers, place them upon our
records, draw and forward the check

ing to the Federal Land Bank is that
the cost of title abstracts and land ap-
praisals is less under our system OF
experts. There is no charge for ex-
amining titles, but that for having the
| abstracts made must, of course, be
paid by the borrower. This cost may
be reduced by the association of farm.

demands may require and cover large
territory, they are able to cut loan ex.

praisals to a minimum.

that it is intended to be, and for the
wise and patriotic reason that the
greater the prosperity of the farmer
the better off in every way is the coun-
try as whole. 1t is organized for
operation upon plain, simple meth
cd, one that the average farmer can
easily understand and adapt himself
to, with the knowledge that the ma
tional government is concerned Who'll

sible opportunity for reaching a po-
siticn of independence"
