County Option League
To the People of the State of Ne
braska
The officers of the Nebraska
County Option League deem it ad
visable to give a plain and concise
statement concerning the purposes
and plans of the League
The central purpose of this or
ganization is to secure the nomin
ation and election of a governor and
legislature favorable to the princi
ple of county option
The plan by which this can best
be accomplished is thought to be
that of organizing a local committee
in each county and precinct to be
composed of men of all parties and
creeds favorable to county option
these committees to be charged with
the duty and responsibility of secur
ing the nomination and election of
legislators pledged to the enactment
of such a law
We believe that the committees in
each county should carry on the
campaign in their own way with on
ly such guidance and assistance
from the state organization as they
may voluntarily request
We ask the local committees to
report full details including the
names and addresses of their local
officers and members to Secretary
Frank A Harrison at Lincoln
We wish this letter to be con
strued as the official request of the
Nebraska County Option League for
the immediate organization of the
county option workers in each coun
ty and precinct
It will be the purpose and aim of
the state organization to so unify
and direct the efforts of the local
committees as to best bring about
the passage by the next legislature
and the signature by the next gover
nor of Nebraska of a rational and
reasonable county option bill

CHINESE FANMAKING
Tho Industry Carried on In One Dis
trict For Centuries
The fanmaking industry in China
was started centuries ago in the vil
lage of Pengsbow at Ampow about
three miles from Swatow It was for
merly confined to women in various
a heavier burden on the consumer households but for many years past
and is only advantageous to those every fmy hi tQe village has been
aevotea to tne worn an tne memDers
of the families being occupied in the
manufacture Only the open fan is
manufactured in this district
For the frame the split bamboo is
repeatedly rived until each piece is
sufficiently slender and flexible There
threadlike pieces of bamboo are ar
ranged in a row attached to each oth
er by a thread passed crosswise
through the middle This thread is
fastened to a semicircular strip of
bamboo giving the fan its shape The
ribs are then slightly heated and bent
at the ends The fan bas now the
peculiar and characteristic shell like
shape at the top Very flimsy silk
gauze is then pasted on the face and a
kind of tissue like paper on the back
After the bundle Is attached the bor
der of the fan is black varnished and
the gauze is coated with a chalk and
water mixture The handles are made
of bamboo various kinds of hard
wood- bone and ivory The hand paint
ing on the fans is cleverly done in
some instances being works of art

The bearer of these good things
seemed to be under some trouble It
was suspected that he had some Inti
mate knowledge of the crime for which
the other was to be executed The se
cret came to light on the morning of
the execution when one of the guards
overheard this conversation between
the two men
