Rising Value of
 Whiskey Causes
 Legal Difference

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 20.-Should a state supreme court take judi cial notice that liquor is scarcer and more valuable now than be- fore May 1, 1917, when the state prohibition law went into effect and since wartime ediets have kept closed bars elsewhere?
 Harry Fischer, Omaha attorney, thinks so and told the court so. Fischer was representing man who had been convicted and fined in Omaha because, as owner of the hotel, he had apparently al lowed liquor selling to go on in the building. The principal evil dence in support of the charge was the finding of three pint bot ties of whiskey in one of a num- Der of cases that had originally contained eight times that num- Der of bottles. The theory of the state was that it had been hid den there.
 Fischer insisted that the cases were stored there for firewood purposes in part past years, and that these bottles were merely overlooked in days when three bottles of whiskey were nothing to anybody. "The court" said he "should take judicial notice that whiskey was more plentiful then than now"

Woolworth Heirs
 Will Have to Pay
 S7,0O0,O00 in Tax

New York, Dec. 20.-The estate of Frank w. Woolworth, who made q fortune estimated at more than $50, 900 in five and 10 cent stores, must pay an inheritance tax of $6,8O0,000 to the federal government and $1,050,000 to the state of New York. This was made known when Hubert T. Par son, committee of the property of Mrs. Jennie Woolworth, who in- herited the entire estate of her husband, get permission to sell the city residence at the northeast cor tieth street, to help pay the tax. ner of Fifth avenue and Eigh- Supreme Court Justice NeWberg- CT, who gave permission for the sale, appointed Abraham Stern referee to conduct 1t.
 Parscn said in his petition that the market value of the Fifth ave- hue property was $460,000 and that in addition Mrs. Woolworth owned the country place, Winfield hall at Glen Cove, l.. l., worth %852 ,666, and other parcels, includ- ing the following: 229 Jefferson avenue, Brooklyn, $li,000; Wool worth building, Lancaster, Pa. $425 ,000; property in Market street, Philadelphia, $800,000, and blcck of land at Deal, N. J., $24,- 600.
 Parson said that out of the in- come received by Mrs. Woolworth from the personal estate left her by her husband, including stocks in the r. w. WoolWorth company he pays $10,000 a month for her living expenses, and it is necessary to pay the usual debts and in ad- dition the federal and state in- heritance taxes of the sums stat ed.
 Parson explained that the in- terest of Mrs. Woolworth requires the sale of the Fifth avenue home because the income from her real estate and personal property to- gether was not sufficient to pay the debts, including the income tax, and he did not desire to sell any of the personal estate, includ- ing the Woolworth stores stock He says he wants "to conserve the come-producing assets to main tain her in the comfort to which she is accustomed"

Xmas Bustard For
 Marines In China

Pekin, China, Dec. l6-There will be no Christmas goose on the mess tables of the Legation Guard of United States Marines this year, just as there was no turkey at Thanksgiving. But a noble bird' will grace the board never the less.
 Uncle Sans Marines will feast on the great bustard of China at Yuletide. After sampllng bustard at their Thanksgiving feast, they are unanimously in favor of giving it a place on their Christmas menu,
 Recently party of Marines were given q furlough and hunt ing pass to shoot in the hills about 100 miles northwest of the Chinese capitol. They brought back a number of bustard. The mess sampled them and yelled for more. So more Marine hunters were sent out, and bustard was served at Thanksgiving. Another group of crack shots will be sent out for bustard before the Christmas holi- days.
 The bustard runs from 15 to Is pounds, and is one of the most de licious game birds in the world It is related to the plover and crane, and is found in abundance here. The natives are unable tc hunt it successfully because oi their inferior firearms, but the straight-shooting Marines never fail to get a big bag.

DEvQNA, RELIGIOUS NOTABLE, jOINS ThE
 ZION CITY COLONY
Figure in Poison Pen Case Becomes DOWie
 Disciple

Port Huron, Mich, Dec. 20.- The Rev. MT. Francesca Sholtock Devona of St. Clair, Mich, whose religious career was brought into the spotlight when Dr. James w. Inches, now Detroit police com- missioner, undertook to expose him, has now joined the minister ial staff of Zion City having been ordained an elder of Christian Catholic Apostolic church of Zion. This word was received in Port Huron. The Zion colony was ori- ginall yestablished by the Rev. Alexander Dowie.
 In the communication sent out from Zion City it is stated that the Rev Mr. Devona was born at sea during a voyage from Italy to England, and that bis father was a surgeon in the British navy. It is further stated that the Rev. MT. Devona went to Rome, where he studied and was ordained a priest. The message also states that MT. Devona was shot. twice while priest in England.
 His New Biography.
 Following is a quotation from the Zicn communication concern ing the man who was busted from the Michigan diocese of the Epls- coDal church:
 Coming to America, MT. Devona went to Michigan, where he join ed the Episcopal church and was ordained rector. He was rector a. Port Huron and at St. Clair, but was not satisfied with restric- tions placed on him. The church committee. ordered 15-minute ser mons and he was bound to preach to suit the committee or be fir ed, leaving him no room for divine inspiration. Chafing under this restraint and also disgusted at the widespread use of tobacco among the ministry of churches in his diocese, he resigned and later came to Zion.
 "Poison Pen' Letters.
 The Rev M. Devona was the central figure in one of the most sensational church trials ever held in the state, which resulted in his being busted from his mission in St. Clair by the high official board of the Episcopal church.
 MT. Devona came into the spot light when "poison pen" letters were circulated in St. Clair. An effort was made to connect Dr. Inches with the letters, and the letters, and the latter wentetao latter went on Devona's trail, tra- cling his activities thru Europe and the United States. Scotland yard detectives were put on the case and Devona's statements as to his early career could not be veri- fled.
 It was stated at. the, Vatican that no priest of the name Devo- na had ever been ordained. De- vona has at different times been identified with seventh day adt- vertising, Methodist church and Episcopal church. He married a niece of the late Bishop Ninde.

German Banker Urges World Loan
 to Aid Germany

Hamburg, Dec. 20.-An inter- national loan to be guaranteed by all nations is suggested by Max Warburg. g German banker, who was invited to attend the lnterna- ticnal Economic conference at London, but who was unable to be present. Herr Warburg was one of the German financial delegates to the peace conference.
 MT. Warburg points to the necessity of establishing German credit. in a report he has made to the congress of the council for al leviating hunger.
 He states that the world war can be healed in a financial re- spect only by the whole world for it would be impossible to conceive an interchange of goods turnout the whole world in the same man. ner as before the war.
 The league of nations, Herr Warburg said, could promote this plan eff it were a real league, " but it would have to be altered so that all countries should be ln- cluded. Since time is precious. he said, there should be created an international loan whereby debts which are likely to be in cured can be regulated.
 His idea is that such an in ternational lean ought to be free from taxation in all countries and at parity in all currencies. It would have to be secured by hav- ing it's interest take precedence in all countries over all other expen- ditures.
 "I could imagine" said Herr Warburg, "that the loan would be the key for exchanging those which, during the war, were made from one country to another, in- cluding the debts which the war ring countries owe to neutrals After the conclusion of such a transaction there would be no foreign holdings of var loans while each country would have to take care of the war loans within that country
 "Thc second purpose of this in ternatlonal loan would be not only to do away with old war loans and their obligations but to purchase raw materials and food. The countries which sold these ma terials would have to take inter national loans to a certain amount in payment of the goods"

SOME CHRISTMAS DON'TS.
Don't court indigestion.

Don't court indigestion.
 Don't grumble, whatever you do.
 Don't half fill the kiddies' stock ings.
 Don't give presents which will be useless.
 Don't forget the mistietoe. Ro- nance still lives.
 Don't forget that it ought to be a merry Christmas.
 Don't deny the little ones ideas about Santa Claus.
 Don't worry about unpaid bills at any rate until tomorrow.
 Don't scoff at the lingering su- perstiticn sof the good old days.
 Don't for the show of things, buy presents which you can't af- ford.
 Don't expect too many presents. Take what you get and be thank ful.
 Don't, if you get up on your wrong side, make everybody else miserable.
 Don't forget to think at least once during the day what Christ mas really means.
 Don't give present unless you want to, Better not give at all than give insincerely.
 Don't forget that the giving of Christmas boxes, like charity, should begin at home.
 Don't if you are girl, stand under the. mistletoe until you see the right chap approaching.
 Don't kiss somebody else's best girl, even tho she is under the mistletoe. There might be row.
 Don't work on Christmas day if you can avoid it. If you have to- however, don't make a song about 1t.
 Don't give Johnnie a trumpet and Peter a whistle and expect to have a quiet time. It's unrea- sonable.
 Don't put off buying presents until the last minute. You'll get better value and avoid the crush ii you shop early.
 Don't send an electric runabout to a freezing widow with five starving children. This is like throwing a rope of pearls to g drowning man.
 Don't look pained when some body tells a 50-year-old Christmas story. That's one of the unavoid able circumstances of the festive season. Don't give a new song to som; one who don't sing; but be stil more certain that you don't give new song to some one who i'm agines he can sing.
 Don't refrain from giving be cause you can't afford to give much. The intrinsic value of { gift counts for nothing. It is tht thought which prompts it tha' matters.
 Don't let the wife give you { Christmas present in the form O. cigars. If she persists in doing so, don't smoke them--give then away again, without letting he know about it, of course.

Butter Prices are Higher than Before
 Armistice Signed

Chicago, Dec. 20.--Butter prices this year are higher than they ev- CT were before the armistice was signed. The high price for the best butter during the wartime period was 67 1-2 cents, whole sale, while 72 cents has been reached this fall and the present cost is 70 cents. This brings the retail cost to so cents.
 Dealers estimate that people in the Chicago district use about 5 per cent butterine, 23 per cent storage butter and 72 per cent of the strictly fresh product.
 "They have lots of money it seems," said M IL. Friedman, vice president of a wholesale butter and poultry company. "'They buy very little butterine and not much stor- age butter tho the finest June but ter from the coolers costs almost 10 cents per pound less than the best creamery product. Most of the storage butter goes to Flu rope
 "You hear a lot about the high cost of living" W. s. Moore, an other dealer. said, "'but when the workingmen's wife goes shopping she will not buy anything but the best"
 England's food ministry ana Belgium are the largest butte, customers of this country, the Sweden, Norway, Italy and Switz, erland are also on the list. the wholesalers say and about 40,000,- 900 pounds have already been sent overseas this season and 20,000,O0C more will be sent.
 There are more than 16,00000C pounds in Chicago's storage cool CTS at present and half or more than half of this is the property of foreign governments or com panies, according to estimates.
 As nearly as experts can figure it, Chicago uses 2,000,O00 pounds weekly.
 l Most of the fresh butter shipped here comes from Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. It totals a quar-, ter of million pounds daily. fs'A4

The Real Christmas

The real Christmas is an invis- ible presence, joyful glance of the eye, wonderful expansion of the heart, sense of comradship with all mankind. It is an abandon ment of ourselves to all good inn pulses and an almost reckless waste of good feeling and gener- osity and love, and no army of pessimists can banish that kind of Christmas from our hearts.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-12-21

We get most of the enjoyment of Christmas out of the dreams that come before and after. Oh, to { dream of it before it comes, to en- Joy 1t while it is here, and to ap- preciate it when it has gone!
