EsXSl perstition that jollity In a
I4S house during the nrst week
ISWMl Of the New Year brings
lANl pleasure and happiness to
that household during the
entire year. There are many interest
ing ways Of entertaining a New Years
party. but the favorite Of all Is the
masked dance or party, and the most
interesting way Of having this sort Of
entertainment is to give a ghost party.
The invitations read In this manner:
Our good old Father Time
Has promised to convene
The shades Of many notables
To meet you New Years cen.
Well look for you. you know,
To help to make things 60,
And incidentally 10 meet
Some ghosts you're sure to know.

and after the Invitations have gone
out the hostess has q little private
chat with her guests over the tele-
phone. She requests them to come
dressed to represent some famous per.

the hostess will receive her guests In
q room draped all In white. Sheets or
cheesecloth can be used for this. No
word b spoken until 4 little red imp
distributes cards and pencils to the
assembled guests. Then each In turn
speaks some word or does some stunt
to suit his or her character. The
person guessing the greatest number

Games, contests and dancing will
follow. and the supper or refresh.
ment table will be filled with things
tempting enough to attract even the
most ghostly appetite. The table dec
oratons should correspond with the
festivities Of the season. A New
Years pie made of crepe paper over a
deep pan is filled with dainty little
favors for the guests or cards upon
which some funny rhyme Is written
for each individual guest. Part Of the
entertainment for the evening may
be the telling Of fortunes, informing
each guest of their fate for the COM
ing year.

Gle. All the pilots handled their
ships in excellent shape and pas
sengers who took flights with the
pilots came back to the ground with
the greatest praise.
The stunts this afternoon by the

were awe-inspiring. The storm ar

Galloway Baby's Leg
Is Severed by Binder

'Callaway, Neb., Aug. 19.-(Spe-
cial.)-Marie Kaufman, 4, daughter
of John Kaufman, farmer, living
north Of, Bayard, was caught in a
grain binder and the blades of the
sickle nearly severed both legs below
the knee. She was taken to hos
pital, where it was necessary to am
putate the left leg just below the
knee. 1t is thought the right leg
may be saved.
Marie, who is the fathers favorite
child, had been in the habit of fol-
lowing him to the field. The morn
ing the accident occurred, Mr.. Kauf-
man was driving binder about a
half mile from the house. Marie
came out and wanted a ride with him,
but he refused. He then told her to
60 on back to the house and thought
She had gone. When he started the
binder he heard her scream and saw
her lying on the ground. He wrapped
her in a canvas andsstarted towards
the road, where he stopped a pass
ing automobile, which took him to
town. .

Camp Dodge, Ia, Aug. l9.-(S2e-

tional guard camp here is prohibited

Details for all Kinds OF unpleasant
duties are picked for men who have
hcsmirched themselves by rolling the
mississippi marbles, or stacking
pennies between their hands at poker.
The best way for man to get de-
tailed for kitchen police, the much de-
spised duty imposed upon the dough-
toys, is to be found by some non
commissioned officer while engaged
in shooting craps or playing cards
with money in sight. These two Of
lenses cannot be remedied and the
wrongdoer does penance in the
cuisine. Offenders are so few among
the Nebraska companies that so far
the onlokers have been taoken also
in order that the details, to the many
duties in camp, may be properly
filed. x,

Adjuant General H. J.. Paul ar

General Paul had intended to accom-
pany the Beatrice, Fairmont and
Lincoln guardsmen on the special
train which carried the last Nebraska
contingent to Camp Dodge but was
prohibited because of duties in COM
pleting the preparations for the guard
camp.
Beans Not Plentiful.
Beans are not so plentiful in Ne
braska National guard rationing as
would be imagined from reading the
history of Boston's favorite and its
relation to army life. The use of
the navy bean has been restricted
somewhat thus far at the National
guard camp and the only army ra-
tions which have lived up to their
fame are Canned Willy and coffee
The former has been served the
guardsmen at every meal since they
arrived and the latter is given out
in quantities OF bathtub size. Toma-
toes, apple sauce, hot biscuits and
butter, potatoes, tomatoes with some
pie are among the rations which the
Nebraska men are receiving.
Have Fire Protection.
Death by fire will not be frequent
among the Nebraska guardsmen.
The quartermasters corps fire truck,
which protects the camp, is as conf
plete in its equipment as any fire
truck of the Nebraska cities. One
alarm was, sounded Thursday in the
Nebraska area when cook stove,
which had not been used since the
world war and which was not prop
erly banked by earth, smoked a few
planks in the floor of one of the Ne
braska barracks. The damage was

would be faced with a graver sit

with which we have ever been con-
fronted.
"Whatever these terms may &C
complsh and may have done there
is one thing they have achieved.
They have defined the issues more
clearly than @ yer before and rejection
would be an uninistakable challenge
to the authority of the crown and the
unity of the empire, and no party in
the state could possibly pass that
over without notice.
Ready for Exigency.
"If there is rejection and final re-
lection beyond hope of negotiations
steps will undoubtedly have to be
taken which the executive ought moi
and won't wish to take without firs,
consulting Parliament and giving it
full opportunity of expressing ap-
proval or disapproval of any steps
we might propose to it.
The premier explained that the mo-
ton to adjourn was for the house
to meet October l8, for formal pro.
rogation if the negotiations were
proceeding satisfactorily. If the ne.
gotiations broke down and the posi-.
ton became hopeless, he added. the
speaker was empowered, after con.
sultation with the government tc
summon Parliament on 48 hours no.
tice.
Hopes for Peace.
The executive, said the prime
minister, would feel authorized to
take any necessary urgency mea-
sures, but would not, therefore delay
the sulnmoning of parliament.
In concluding Mr.. Lloyd George
said:
"The government is sincerely de-
sirous that peace should be secured
and that the long misunderstanding gs
sometimes sulky, sometimes savage
which make so many chapters OF
british history painful reading, mis-
understandings between these two
peoples who ought to live in peace
and harmony even in affection, to-
gether, should be brought to ar end
In spite of the disquieting facts,
hope reason will prevail even over
logic and that the Irish leaders will
not reject the largest measures OF
freedom ever offered their country
and take the responsibility of renew
ing a conflict which would be robbed
of all glory by its overshadowing
horrors.

ciated Press. )-Sinn Fein leaders to-
day centered their attention Oh Lon
don awaiting the expected statement
on the Irish negotiations by Pre-.
mier Lloyd George in the House oi

The danger that exists while ne
