ACME MINERAL CO.,
Wheaton, Illinois.
Gentlemen:
I am raising hogs on my farm some
six miles from Weeping Water, Ne
braska, and have been having con
siderable trouble with my hogs. I
have been feeding a so called Stock
Food, or Stock Powder for some time,
and my hogs took sick. I lost five
large hogs; had three large sows
down behind and all of my hogs
were off feed.
After reading some of your litera
ture, I sent to your agent at Union,
Nebraska, Mr. Joe Lidgett, and se
cured a hundred pound sack of Acme
Minerals.
Ten days from the time I began
feeding your Acme Minerals, my hogs
were on full feed again, and the
three sows that were down in the
back, were up on their feet and show
no signs of weakness.
I sure cannot say too much for
your needs and will recommend your
Acme Minerals and Pig Meal to all
my hog raising friends.
Mr. C. M. Jenkins, your agent,
called on me after my hogs were all
up and on feed again and I purchased
Acme Minerals and Acme Pig Meal
and will continue to feed same as
long as I am in the hog raising busi
ness. Very truly yours.
MARY E. SHIPMAN.

FREE CLINICS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Mercy Hospital Staff at St. Joseph
Will Give Surgical and Non
Surgical Clinics Free.
The staff of Osteopathic physicians
of Mercy hospital at St. Joseph will
hold clinics at the hospital June 28.
Physicians in the territory contribut
ing to the city are invited to bring
patients for examination, operation
or treatment by the staff physicians.
This is the first of a series of
clinics the hospital staff expect to
hold for those who need charity or
clinic rates. The charity does not
include hospital accommodations and
persons unable to meet these ex
penses should obtain the aid of some
charitable organization.
Similar clinics were held last year
where over one hundred persons in
need of surgical operations were op-
erated on free of charge, and over
four hundred persons were examined
and their cases diagnosed free.
For additional information call Dr.
H. C. Leopold of this city.

WATER IS VERY HIGH
From Saturday's Dally, i
W. D. Wheeler, who "returned last
evening from Lincoln, reports that
the farming land along the Salt
Creek bottoms near Waverly and
Greenwood is being flooded very
badly by the overflow of Salt Creek
and which is still on the raise. In
one section. Mr. Wheeler saw some
twenty acres under at least one foot
of water and near Greenwood the
high water is covering many of the
farms until they resemble small
lakes. Reports in Lincoln from the
west part of the state yesterday were
to the effect that a heavy rain had
fallen in that locality and was ap
parently much heavier than in the
east part of Nebraska.
GRADUATES FROM
ENGINEERING COL
LEGE ARE PLACED
Students Graduating From Nebraska
University All Have Positions
Waiting For Them.
The electrical engineering college
at the University of Nebraska has
granted degrees to twenty men at
the commencement exercises on June
4th. and of these twenty graduates
up his active work. The positions
came to the men rather than the men
to the positions. Representatives of
large electrical manufacturing and
public service companies came to the
college for the men and the students
are given their choice of work in
most cases because of the strong de
mand for the graduates.
Due to the students' lack of prac
tical training which cannot possibly
! be had in college along with the the
oretical in the four-year course, most
large electrical companies have
formed an educational bureau into
which college graduates are taken
and given a period of training before
they are actually placed in the field
Thes training courss usually last fif-
teen months, the students being paid
only a substantial .living wage dur
ing this time. After completing this
course the student is placed in that
branch of work for which they are
best adapted.
Two Plattsmouth young men were
among those graduating this year
from the "Uni" and have been as
signed to large electrical companies
to complete their training and get
ting ready to carry on their work
in larger fields. The young men are
Merle Rainey, who goes to the Com
monwealth Electric Co., at Chicago
and Ralph S. Holmes, who Is to enter
the General Electric Co. plant at
Schenectady, New York.
In addition, to the . graduates a
number of under classmen are also
taken for a summer course of study
at all of the large plants and for the
past four years. Messrs. Rainey and
Holmes have been spending their
summer vacation in this way.
There were several of the Platts
mouth studnts of the class of 1919
of Plattsmouth high school receiving
their degrees at the commencement
this year including Golda and Gladys
Kaffenberger, Una Crook, Robert
Kroehler, Helen Todd, Ralph Holmes
and Merle Rainey.

"At the time I got Tanlac I weigh

I now weigh a hundred and forty

trouble so bad most everything I ate
would cause me unspeakable torture
from indigestion, gas on my stomach,
heartburn, palpitation and cramps.
At times these attacks were so bad
I thought sure it would be the end
of me.
"Well, my friends often stop me
on the streets now to compliment me
on my good health. I eat everything
I want, even onions and beans and
nothing hurts me. It is more than

DRY LAW PARLEY
OF GOVERNORS MAY
BE POSTPONED
Present Sessions of Some State Leg
islatures May Force President
Harding to Delay Call.
Washington, June s. The con
ference of state governors, which the
president intends to call for a dis-
j cussion of prohibition enforcement,
may be postponed until next fall. At
the White House today, it was said
the conference was "somewhat up In
the air," and that a definite an
nouncement would be forthcoming
next wek.
Although President Harding had
ho tdep ohaetevh S..'I- SHRLUDSH
hoped to have the governors meet
here before he leaves on his trip to
Alaska, the present sessions of some
state legislature, officials said today,
might force a postponement of the
conference at least until after the
president returns to Washington.
Another factor is the brief time re
maining before the president's de
parture for the west. With adequate
notice to the governors regarded as
requisite, it was doubted whether a
substantial number could be assem
bled here prior to the president's
trip.
Some of the president's advisers
are shown to favor a postponement
of the conference until fall, these
officials believing the prohibition en
forcement is working out satisfac
torily, and that increased co-operation
"of state officials might be ob
tained by correspondence as well as
at a personal conference.
President Harding told callers to
day that there was no immediate
conference with officials in sight on
the New York prohibition situation.
It was understood that the present
conditions would be permitted to
continue for the time being until
more definite plans can be worked
out.

school girls, she washed, wiped and
stacked two plates, two saucers, two
knives, two forks and four spoons in
two and one-eighth minutes.
Another girl washed the same
number of articles in one and seven

damp. Glayds explained that she
never did the dishes at home, "but

WISCONSIN
JOINS ANTI-DRY
MOVEMENT
LOWER HOUSE PASSES BELL RE
PEALING STATE ENFORCE
MENT STATUTES.
Madison, Wis., June 7. The Wis
consin assembly, striking the first
western blow at absolute prohibi
tion, today approved the Tucker bill
to repeal the state dry enforcement
law and sent it to engrossment.
The vote of approval was 47 to
43.
The question of final passage in
the assembly Is expected to be de
cided in favor of the "wets" by vir
tue of the two 47-to-43 votes favor
able to the measure today. Shortly
before the approval and engrossment
vote, the assembly refused to kill the
repealer by an identical vote.
Goes to Senate
After final passage the measure
would then go to the senate, which
has killed half a dozen less drastic
prohibition proposals.
A hard-fought battle of two hours
preceded the decisive wet victory.
Proposals for a referendum on the
eighteenth amendment was defeated.
50 to 37, by the wets, who referred
the bill to the Judiciary committee,
where it will be amended to provide
for a referendum on the question of
modifying the Volstead act and pro
viding for a memorial to congress.
May Commend Smith
A resolution congratulating Gover
nor Al Smith "for . his leadership in
leading a movement to return to the
constitution of our fathers" was in
troduced by Assemblyman Lindahl,
wet floor leader.
It failed to get the two-thirds ma
jority necessary to bring about im
mediate consideration, the ballot
count being forty-seven for and
twenty-nine against, and it was re
ferred to committee. It will come up
for consideration next week.
The repealer will be placed on the
assembly calendar for next Wednes
day when a vote on final passage in
the lower house will be taken.
Seek LaFollette's Support
In the meantime prohibition forces
will mobilize to attempt its death in
the senate. They will probably at
tempt to enlist the "moral support"
of Senator Robert M. LaFollette and
Governor Blaine by convincing them
it is too drastic.
Assemblyman Tucker, Milwaukee,
author of the dry repeal, denounced
prohibition whole heartedly as the
work of fanatics.
"The prohibition laws were adopt
ed by extremists," agreed F. J. Pet
erson, Milwaukee. "It would have
been Just as bad is the extreme wets
had done it, but - there must be a
letup. Statutes can't prevent the
grapes and rye and corn from grow
ing and that is what they would
have to do to enforce prohibition,"
Peterson said.

called by the war department. All

elements of moral Instruction, Gen-
eral Pershing said, but added that
"religion contains the secret of and
the Impetus toward clean living."
"Therefore," the general said, "a
steady effort is being made to put
the hearts of men in right relation
to God."
General Pershing said the confer
ence had been called that the army
might have expert counsellors ln pre
paring an intensified moral and re
ligious program for the army, "the
whole purpose of which shall bo to

Secretary Weeks told the confer
ence that civilization was no longer
"as staple a quantity as it was be
fore the war."
"Nothing will hold mankind bet
ter together, or be of as much bene
fit to men of all nations," Mr. Weeks
added, "as religion."
"I feel personally, as all men must
do who have passed the meridan of
life, a growing inclination toward
religion and religious life. I speak in
the broadest sense, of course. I am
fearful about the results that have
come and are coming from the late
war. The civilization of the world
is threatened.
"We wish to instill true religion
into the hearts of our young men.
There are difficulties. We know
these in many cases, and are pre
pared to meet them. I am confident,
however, that this conference will
assist us to Improve our influence.
"I,, want you men to appreciate
that the war department is thoroly
alive to the necessity of upbuilding,
physically, mentally, . morally and
religiously, those over whom it exer
cises control, and win lend every ef

G. 0. P. PLATFORM
TO IGNORE RUM,

Prohibition Issue Will be Sidetrack

Washington, June 6. The prohi

completely in the 1924 republican
Platform lf Plans nof being formu-
lated by party leaders oo noi mis

Senator Watson, republican, In
diana, after a conference with Presi
dent Harding declared that if he has
anything to do with shaping the par
ty's declaration there will- be no
mention of the liquor question. He
believes that the republican party
should base its claim for retention
In power on prosperity.
Senator Watson's remarks were
considered especially significant in
view of the general expectation that
he will be chairman of the resolu

the 1920 convention.

He suggested that prohibition
should be treated by the republicans
as it wa3 in 1920, when a general
law enforcement plank, making no
reference to the eighteenth amend
ment or the Volstead act, was writ
ten into the platform.
It would be useless for the party
to take a .position on prohibition
other than that implied by the gen
eral law enforcement plank becauso
of the hopelessness of trying to get
three-fourths of the state states to
throw out the amendment, in the
opinion of the senator.
The current agitation is over the
percentage of alcohol permitted by
the Volstead law, he explained, add
ing that should the law be amended
to, allow 5 per..cent.light wlues.or
beer the supreme court would hold
the amendment unconstitutional.
The only thing the wets might
hope to accomplish, according to
Watson, would be the repeal of tho
Volstead law and the substitution of
nothing in its place. This would
leave the eighteenth amendment a
dad letter, Just as the fifteenth
amendment now is in the south, he
said.
NAVAL AVIATORS
ESTABLISH SEVEN
MORE RECORDS
Altitude Flight Reaches Heights
That Suck Air From Pontoons
Causing Collapse of Plane
San Diego, Cal., June 7. Ameri
can naval flyers, contesting here to
day in events never before put on an
official program, established seven
more world records in addition to
the two they broke and the eisht
others they established yesterday,
making a total of 17 world records
now held by the aircraft squadrons
of the battle fleet here.
What naval flyers regard as one
of the most striking achievements of
the day was that of an F-5-L plane
of the coastal fail type, which, pi
loted by Lieut. II. E. Halland, lifted
an extra weight of 2,000 kilograms,
about 4,400 pounds, to a height of
6,200 feet.
Another thrilling flight for an al
titude record was made by Lieut.
Ralph Ofstie in a T-5 plane, with
single seat and no extra load. He
soared ot a height of 18,400 feet, en
countering a temperature at that al
titude of 2 degrees below zero. The
air was so rare that the aid in the
pontoons of the machine was large
ly sucked out and when the T-5 be
gan to descend, the pressure of the
atmosphere without caved in the pon
toons. Two records were set by Ensign E.
E. Bolecek in one flight in an F-5L
plane. The machine carried an extra
load of 1,000 kilograms and attained
an altitude of 8,600 feet. As he went
higher' than another plane which
carried only 500 kilograms extra
weight, he was credited with a rec
ord for that event in addition.
Another seaplane with Lieut. II.
T. Stanley as pilot and Lieut. R. B.
Kirkpatrick as passenger, lifted an
extra load of 1,500 kilograms to an
altitude of 7,600 feet.
The only speed test of the day was
over a three-kilometer course and in
it Boatswain E. E. Reber, piloting a
torpedo plane with a 400-horse pow
er Liberty motor, made an average
speed of 102.28 miles an hour for
three different laps.
