Governor Bryan will suggest the advisability of dissolving the capitol commission Monday afternoon at a meeting of that body, now that the work of constructing the 510,000, 000 capitol and grounds is practi cally completed. To the legislature, he said, he will again recommend that the building be placed in tht hands of the governor and its up keep be delegated to the state engi neering d?partment. This recom mendation would apply also to the governor's mansion. Bryan said he! intends to remove the first of nextj year from the mansion to his home at 17th and B, which he has retain ed unoccpuicd altho he maintains his legal residence there. The capitol is now under State Land Commissioner Conklin as tc care and the hiring of janitors and caretakers. Formal dedication of the capitol ence fixed for Sept. 1 and abandon ed, may be permanently abandoned. Bryan said there had been informal talk among members of the commis sion about not attempting to have a formal dedication because of fear of inclement weather this late in the year, and for the further reason that many people who had helped pay for tho structure In taxation would be financially unable, thru no fault of their own, to attend. This matter is to be discussed at the commission meeting. President Roosevelt had been invited to attend the proposed dedication Sept. 1, but was unable to come then or at a proposed later date. Bryan said he would again recom mend that the capitol be placed un der the governor in order that its upkeep might be under supervision of the state engineer's department. "Upkeep, to preserve it from deter ioration, is more important than scrubbing, waxing, washing and cleaning of draperies," he said.. "The cracking and leaking of the terrace over administration offices on ttxt ground floor and to let these go un cared for has cost thousands of dol lars to the state-. Constant engineer ing attention is necessary, and this should be provided." OPEN DC0R AIDS IN ESCAPE Springfield, Mass.

Turned the Tables Slightly With the coming cf the depression and the necessity of saving every par ticle of feed for animals due to the drouth drying up the corn and forage grain crops, corn binders were resur rected and put into use and a num ber of new ones were also bought, proving a good investment to the pur chasers, who were able not only to cut their own, but that of their neigh bors as well. A young man from Otoe county, desirious of securing fodder (which was not available in his locality due to the extreme drouth even dwarfing the stalk), came with his corn bind er, which he had resurrected and re built from an abandoned junk pile, and after he had cut what he desired to purchase, he and his machine were given plenty of work to do and it was was not lcng until he had accumu lated earnings in excess of a hundred dollars, together with the old binder, three head of horses and what feed he will need to tide him over the coming winter. Not so bad, eh? Another instance was that of Sterl ing Harris, who, having a tractor, purchased a corn binder at a cost cf $400 and with it cut seme 1,100 acrea of fodder at $1.25 per acre, and had the binder left. These men were transforming cal lamity and a dismal outlook into pros perity and we say that when a man tan do that he has the real stuff in him. It is that indominable spirit our forefathers had and which aided them In weathering many a storm. United Erethren in Christ. Rev .Otto Engebretson NEHAWKA CHURCH Bible church school 10 a. m.
