Western Newp;per L'nlnn News Servlc.
All guardsmen look alike to tho ma
jority of curious sightseers nt tho
mobilization camp. Unless one Is famil
iar witli military affairs he Is Ignorant
of tho distinctions of rank which are
scrupulous Institutions of the ramp.
A colonel mnv bo Known by tho sil
ver eagles worn on his shoulder, or
collnr. A major's insignia Is a gold
leaf worked in h!s collar. Two silver
bars on tho collar or shoulders Indi
cate n captain, one n second lieutenant
and a soldier in olllcer's uniform, hut
without such bars, Is a second lieuten
ant. The chaplain's insignia is a
metal cross.
Commissioned officers, thnt is, lion
tennnts and higher, wear leather leg
rings, which to tho uninitiated niny
distinguish them from non-connnhi-tioned
olilcers, corporals and ser
geants. A Bcrgcant wears three stripes on
(he arm of his uniform, a corporal only
two. A small square under the strlpo
distinguishes a first lieutenant, and a
triangle a quartermaster sergeant.
Of course, a soldier is sensitive ns
to his rank. In regimental organiza
tion, thu olilcers rank ascends as fol
lows: Corporal, duty sergeant, quar
termaster sergeant, llrst sergeant, sec
ond lieutenant, llrst lieutenant, enp
tnln, major (commanding n battalion
of four companies), lieutenant colonel
and colonel.
No Need of Special Session.
Governor Morohend has no Intention
whatever to call a special session of
the Nebraska legislature to appropriate
more money for mobilization of na
tional guard troops.
Neither has ho authorized any un
usual measures such ns borrowing
money to meet tho situation. Ho hns
not even approved claims for supplies,
transportation or nny other kind of
expense Incurred In assembling the
guard at Lincoln.
As tho governor views it, these are
matters for tho federal authorities to
take caro of. The United Stntcs gov
ernment hns called tho state troops
Into Its own service, and congress has
appropriated money for tho necessary
expense.
Therefore, contractors who furnish
supplies, transportation, horses or any
thing else for the present military
undertaking will hnvo to look to tho
United States far their pay. They will
havo no trouble In getting it, as tho
wnr department expects to hear the
expense and is not asking tho state
to use their funds.
Many Nationalities Represented.
noys of all nationalities are assem

$1,850,000 Is lauds and buildings and
$850,000 is general movable equipment.

Isaac W. Evans of Fairfield, former

second lieutenancy. General Hall was
notified of his election by Colonel
Herbert J. Paul. Ho immediately ac
cepted and will assume active charge
of the company as soon as he can bo
relieved from duty In Nebraska us dis
bursing olllcer.
Healthy Condition of State Banks.
A statement issued by Secretary
Royse of the stato banking board
showing tho condition of stnte hanks
at the close of business May 29, shows
that deposits on that date aggregated
$141,557, an Increase of $11,500 In threo
months. The deposits In state banks
when they grew steadily were boasted
of, but for a year they havo been going
up by leaps and bounds. Several
months ago Secretary Iloyse Issued a
statement calling attention to the fact
that hankers in other states wero
placing funds on deposit In Nebraska
stato banks because they aro ahlo to
got a good rate of interest and be
cause of the fact that deposits In Ne
braska stato bnnks aro protected In
considerable measure by a depositors'
guaranty fund that now amounts to
over $1,000,000.
Will Walt for Full Reqlment.
Progress In work of mustering tho
Nebraska national guardsmen Into
federal servlco indicnto that no plans
are being laid to send any units south
from tho 'Lincoln mobilization camp
until a complete regiment is ready
which may be scvoral days yet. Tho
fact thnt extra equipment is being sent
to Lincoln for tho two regiments indi
cates that they will not be rushed
to tho bordor until they nro fully
equipped and each mnn carefully ex
amined for physical defects.
Need an Army of Harvesters.
A new pamphlet setting forth crop
conditions and tho estimated needs for
harvest hands in the different coun
ties of Nebraska has been issued by
Labor Commissioner Coffey ns an of
ficial document of his department. It
contains crop statistics of a year ago
and acreage for this year, as well as n
tahlo showing how many harvest hands
will be required In vnrlous counties
and directions about whom to commun
icate with for Information on getting
employment.
Tho labor commissioner, reinforced
by the opinion of Secretary Mellor of
tho stato board of agriculture, an
nounces that on account of cool, wot
weather running through tho lato
spring nnd early summer there will
probably bo little grain cut In tho state
before tho Fourth of July, or about ten
days later than tho usual time of
harvest.
All tho food used so far at Camp
Morohead has been partaken of raven
ously by tho men, and well It might be,
nccordlng to Mnjor Falconer, for It was
tho best obtainable on the market.
If tho employment of a child under
14 years of ngo is tho proximate cause
of Injury to such a child, then tho em
ployer Is llnblo In dnmnges for the In
juries sustained. So rules the Ne
braska supremo court in an opinion
reversing and remanding the suit of
Ora Hnokstool, by his next friend,
Lillian Sheets, against tho Cudahy
