New York Dec. Thousands Of
volunteer snow handlers were called
today to help dig New York city out
of its first big storm of the season
a blizzard of snow and sleet which,
starting yesterday under moderate
temperatures, became over night an
icy gale which threatened to paraly-
ize transportation.
The storm took its toll of humid
reds of injured who had fallen VIC
tins to the treachery of ice covered
streets. Most hospitals were crowd
ed to capacity, :
At least two persons are reported
to have been killed in falls.
The windreached high velocities.
Combined with the unaccustomed
burden of snow, it worked havoc
with ground power and tele-
phone lines; street car transmission
cables, roofs Of buildings and large
trees.
Lives of pedestrians in some sec-
eicns were endangered by falling
signs, tumbling chimneys and smoke
stacks. Thousands of dollars worth
of damage were believed to have
been sustained by Long and Staten
Islands, wheresnumerous small craft
were washed ashore. Along the
water front the toll sof damaged
buildings were reported heavy. ass
City officials were out earlystaday
in personal canvass of Bowery,
soup kitchens, flop houses, and bread
lines, recruiting snow shovelers with
which to argument the force of 24,-

Throughout the storm some 5000
reinforcements armed with shovels
labored with the city's snow shovel
ing engines, but the mechanical
plows were unable to do more than
keep the thoroughfares passable.

Hurried Return
Of British Fleet Is
Still Unexplained
,By Assoe.sted Press,

London, Dec. 29.-The hasty re-
turn Of the British fleet to constanti-
nople from Malta attracts wide at
tention here. Nothing is forthcom-
ing from official sources to explain
the move, but the obvious assump-
tion that it is connected with the un-
compromising attitude Of the Turks
at Lausanne is everywhere adopted.
There are still many foreigners in
Constantinople and the dispatch Of
the warships is regarded as a neces-
sary precaution in view Of the pos
sible attitude of the Turks in that
city in the event that there is q
breakdown in the Lausanne negotia-
tions.

FIVE MILES OF BRIDGES

Folks do not think much OF the
cost OF getting our streams even In
prairie country but q. l.. Camp
bell Of the highway department does
little figuring. He puts 1t this
way: Speaking Of bridges, II Dick
lnson county highway bridges were
placed end to end they would be five
miles long. Saline county has about
the same number and nearly all the
bridges In both counties have wood
en- floors, which have to be replaced
quite often. 1t Is small wonder that
In the past ten years Saline county
has spent 100000 repairing its
bridges. This feature should show
why the counties are now putting
a little more money into construc-
tion and building concrete struc-
lures, eliminating the maintenance
feature. Saline county has about
$50 steel bridges which will have to
be replaced within thirty years,
an average of about eight
each year They are now building
about two each year which shows
tht at some future time the average
will be much larger.

ADVERTISING is NEWS

The advertising manager Of a
great industry in an address the
other day set forth the proposition
that advertising is news. He said
"The newspaper audience is uni
versal; the atmosphere Of the news
paper is always active.
Nothing can shape public opin.
lon about things In general so sure
" and effectively as the newspaper
I do not believe this statement can
be disproved.
Advertisements in the daily pa
pers are news Of department stores,
news Of restaurants, news Of fur
nishing goods places, news about
shoes-eyery one of the items enter
ing into daily life. II you don't be-
lieve 1t, go over to the department
store that this morning in this city
announced a special selling of wo-
mems waists and mems neckties. at
the respective counters or depart
ments where this merchandise was
offered for sale you will find that
both men and women read the news
papers--read the advertisements in
them and act upon them.
"In these days nothing helps more
to sustain the name newspaper
than the fact that the greater por-
tion Of advertising appearing in 1t
Is news. Through the use of news
paper space advertising copy exactly
suited to the needs, to the hour in
fact, or to temporarily existent local
conditions can be employed"
The advertising columns Of any
newspaper tell more about the town
and who are its wide awake busi-
ness men than the news columns
proper. The consumer judges which
firms are able to serve him by the
advertising news" over their sigma
lures appearing in his paper. The
success Of the firms that print their
stores news proves 1t.

A German Review gives these
definitions Of the modern novel:
A German novel is book In
which two people want each other
in the first chapter, but do not get
each other until the last chapter.
A French novel Is book in which
two people get each other right in
the first chapter, and from then on
to the last chapter don't want each
other any more.
An American novel Is book in
which two people want each other at
the start, get each other, and then
want each other clear through to
the end.
A Russian novel, however, is one
in which two people neither want
each other nor get each other and
about this 450 profoundly melan-
chOly pages are written.
Which isn't so bad guess.

THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES

We are right in fly time again
now let all those that have not fly
net get busy and buy one, cut out
joy riding for while and save the
gas money to pay for them. The
poor work horses that do all OuI
work Is entitled to the best of care
II some of us farmers could send
the horse out to work alone, while
we went fishing or joy riding some
Of us would make more money.
Some peoples only, or lonely, milk
COW tied to the end of picket rope
should have little better care taken
Of them. More milk would be your
reward here on earth and less trouble
to get in at ST. Peters gate beyond
the river.
A cover of burlap for the cow OF
a little shoe fly would not come very
high. Let us cultivate mercy for
every living thing. Then we would
not gloat over when we can beat
our fellow men in trade, even out
of house and home, and burn men
at the stake.
Let us farmers put up as much
feed between now and next fall as
we can. Let us reduce the number
of our livestock rather than to keep
them on half rations the year round
like some Of us do. Let us protect
them from the heat and the cold all
we can, then when we go to market
with them they win make us little
money in spite of high freight rates
and packing house profits we holler
so much about.
Let us cultivate kindness Tor
every living thing and love for our
fellowmen and not talk so much of
what Demotatism, Republicanism
or Socialism is going to do for us.
We are a Christian people, we take
pride in our Sunday schOl and go to
church and six days out Of the week
we abuse our poor livestock Just be-
cause 1t is cheap. When iron and
steel is made into a high priced car
You keep IL ont of the heat and the
cold. Let us practice and preach the
golden rule. and less Of things far
away.
