NEBRASKA CAT HURLS
 GAUNTLET TO WORLD AS
 OLDEST FELINE EXTANT'

HASTINGS, Nebraska, Feb. 15. - "World's Oldest Cat Dies in Montana" l"
 So ran a headline in a Hastings newspaper Whereat Hastings arose en masse to make denial.
 Thomas Patriarch, 24, Montana s oldest cat, was a mere infant com pared withS Hastings Yellow Tom.
 Yellow Tom is old enough to be the father-possibly the granddad-of the Montana Patriarch. Yellow Tom was tapping milk four years before Thomas Patriarch poked his nose from the maternal couch.
 The Yellow fellow is at least 2S. He came to Hastings twenty-four years ago with Luther Fuller and became permanent attche of the Fuller res taurant. Fuller is authority for the report that Yellow Tom was four years old or more before making his debut here.
 When Fuller sold his cafe and re- tired as a restauranteur, Yellow Tom refused to move his quarters. He stuck to the garbage can he had de- tended against all corners for more than a quarter of a century, and is still right on the job.
 Although shy one eye and the points of both ears, Yellow Tom is still wig orous and the terror of all stray dogs and feline males who would invade bis garbage can domain.
 The old fellow is said never to have Haunted the white flag either to cat or dog. But
 He once made the mistake of in- vading the precincts of his own very young progeny. Wherat his erstwhile bride, sailed forth with much wrath, ripped out an eye and the large part of an ear and carried the trophies to her offspring. Yellow Tom there after took Kipling's word for it about the female of the species, giving a wide berth and due respect to all young motherhood of the cat world.

STATE GAINS $45O,oOO
 THROUGH NEW PRODUCT

Clear gain of $450,O00 to the re sources of the State of Washington has resulted from the discovery of a new process of canning crabs perfect ed at the University of Washington College of Fishersies, under direction of Dean John N. Cobb.
 Eight canning plants, adopting this process were established during the year 1922, according to report re- gently prepared by Dean Cobb, pack, ing 15,O00 cases of crabs, valued at about $450,0O0. Other plants are pro- jected for 1923. Dean Cobb esti. mates the industry should produce from 5O,OOO to 100000 cases of canned crabs a season.

NEWEST SHIRTS AND SUITS VIE
 WITH RAINBOW

LONDON, Feb. 15.-Those won- drous color schemes that usually are seen only in rainbows or the Grand Canyon are to be as common as fog wherever well-dressed men con gregate in London this spring.
 In fact some of the radiant rags" being exhibited by London tailors and shirtmakers would mantle the brow of any seIf-repsecting rainbow with blush of modesty. Yet London haberdashers solemnly maintain that the stuff they displaying is what the well-dressed man of taste and dis crimination will wear.
 Ten tendency, according to the merchants, is all toward a bolder tone in clothes. Colors that in pre- war days would have been regarded as extremely daring are now scarce ly noticed by the clothes connois- seurs as they paw through stocks of materials i nsearch of something really fit for gentleman to "edi.
 khakrs Reaction
 According to one London shirt maker, this tendency is throw back" from the days when men were bored to death with the eternal drab khaki of the army uniform The only surprising feature is that the craving for brilliant colors has continued so long after the war and that it does not show any apparent signs of dying out.
 One of the most noticeable things about the shirts being displayed by London's most fashionable makers is their stripes. Blazing paths ot color, a half-inch or more in width, traverse the cloth that is being dis played to those who want thelr shirts "tailor made' In the ready made shops there Is the same ab- snnce of modesty and piQuancy of tone displayed in shirt offerings. Cold print cannot do justice to the gay colorings displayed.
 Suits "Loud," Too
 Tn the matter of suits the materlaiS avbibited are fitting mates for the shirts. Novelty patterns predomln- ate in the stocks of the leading London tailors. and the conservation cloth is displayed only when some oldfashioned customer insists on being shown the same thing he al- ways has been used to seeing.
 "Only novelty patterns are selling, one woolen merchant declared. "The bread-and-chees stuff is glut on the market"
 While the men are blossoming forth in gorgeous spring raiment the gentIer sex will follow the same tendencies, according to indications seen in early spring displays. The new fashions will have plenty of color, with red, green, purple and bright blue the predominating tints. The models will be straight and inc skirts a little shorter than was the predominant tendency in the styles of six months ago.

RUSSIA FOR RUSSIANS
 COMMUNISTS PROGRAM

VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 15.-Russia for the Russians, an intense national ism and a ruthless foreign policy where Russia interests are concerned are the leading principles of the new Russian Government, according to Communists here. The educated members of the party here are con- vinced that the days of 1916 and 1919 are gone never to return and that only by capitalism can the fi- nances of the country be restored. The idea of working with foreign capital is that the government should be shareholder in all commercial enterprises which will be under taken, foreigners supplying the ready money and the machinery, while the government will give the concessions and the workers and laborers em- p1oyed in working them

Nitrate Desert Aids World

In the high plateau country of
Ch1Ie, between the coast ranges and
the Andes, lies desert which is one
OF the deadest spots on earth. No
green thing grows upon 1t, no living
creature is native to il.
And yet this desert has been for a
century a primary support of human
life in the civilized world, says the
Nations Business. Although science
now promises eventually to make us
Independent of this desert and its
product. it is no exaggeration to say
That the great expansion of the race
which has taken place in the last
hundred years would have been i'm
possible without it. And the people
OF the United States are still lai gely
dependent upon it.
This unique desert Is the source of
the famous Chilean nitrate of soda
a commodity which is at present the
subject of n special investigation be-
ing made at the behest of Congress
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce.
The nitrate situation and the inves-
legation of it are significant not only
because OF The Importance of wider
use of such valuable fertilizing agents
as nitrate of soda, and of as cheap a
supply as possible, but also because

Woolworth Started on Borrowed
Money

In a recently discovered portion of
the autobiography of the late Frank
w. Woolworth is revealed for the
first time how the creator of five and
ten-cent stores, starting in 1879 with
1915 of borrowed money, invested in
his first dingy shop, built up chain
of over a thousand stores and
created, as a monument to his work,
the $13,000.000 WoolWorth Building.
This remarkable life story written
shortly before the great merchants
death and now published in Nc
Cures Magazine, concludes with
Woolworth's brief resume of his own
achievement:
Il feel" he says, that the five-and
ten-cent stores have done a very big
constructive work in the economics
of this country. and have accomplish
ed more to bring down and keep down
the cost of living than any other fac
tor in the life of the nation,
The greatest. struggle of all, he re-
calls, in building his nationwide
business, was to convince manu-
facturers that they could gain great
er aggregate profits by very greatly
reducing their prices and thus vast
~ increasing their turnover. In this
he finally succeeded by creating
widespread demand for lower-priced
merchandise.
when we began to show this de-
mand," he adds, I'VE were able to
hammer down prices or create the
lines ourselves. One effect of the
five-and ten-cent business has GER
tainly been to bring down the whole
sale price of an ever expanding line
of goods. in the face of constantly
increasing prices for most goods out
side the five-and ten-cent stores
reaCh.'
Woolworth's career as a merchant
began at the age of twenty one. His
first job was as a clerk in q country
store at Great Bend. New York His
only paw was his board and lodging.
Soon afterward he obtained Job as
a clerk in the drygoods store of
Augsburg and Moore at WATERFOWL
at $3.50 q week. In 1876, another
Watertowp merchant hired him at
$40 a week. 1t was not long, how
ever. before his old employer. w. H.

are being turned into Christmas
presents this year. This is through
an arrangement made recently be-
tween u. S. Marshal A. c. Sittel,
custodian Of stills seized by prohibi-
ton agents in Los Angeles, Cal,
and the disabled wat veterans of the
Arrowhead Hospital.
Many of the crippled ex-service
men have been learning to work in
metal and have achieved high de-,
gress of skill in making useful and
beautiful articles for Christmas sale
from copper. When a truck load of
confscated copper was sent to them
they saw a way to make their own
Christmas plans possible and at the
same time provide a lot of delightful
gifts to be disposed of through their
friends. The Federal judges had
ordered the stills destroyed and the
marshal found an ingenius solution
of the whole matter.
The soldiers have been turning
out copper gifts at a great rate.

in its nature that it can be made into
a wide range of articles that will
withstand the effects of time, climate

1t is expected that other copper
from the same source will be forth
coming before the holidays are over.
The early spread of the idea into
other states for the benefit of the
veterans still under disqualification
