Files for Judge in
Eleventh District

Special.) A petition has been filed with
the secretary of slnte asking that the
nsme of Bayard 11. Talne of Grand
Island be placed on the nonpartisan

fice of judge of the district court,
Kleventh judicial district.
Judge I'nlne has resided In Grand Island
forty-three years and was court reporter
for this district for six years under Judge
Thompson, lie has Issued a statement
outlining his platform In which he says:
Wrongs redressed too late amount to
a dcnliil of Justice. A vigorous Judge
ought to keep his docket clear anil owes
It to the litigants even though the law
yers object to frown on long delays
The Nebraska Bar association declared
that perjury must be stamped out. Fear
leHnness on the part of a Judge and
few stiff sentences to the penitentiary
will help a great deal.
The law ought not to be so enormously
expensive. Inrk of means ought not to
bar a man from seeking Justice In our
courts. The man with a Just cause ought
to have an even chance with a rich cor
poration, even though he cannot hire as
ante lawyers.
If elected to the bench my platform
will be, swift, certain and Inexpensive
justice impartially administered.

A LETTER from the Publishers of The Encyclopaedia
Britannica reproduced on this page tells the reason.
We are the sole distributors of these popular-priced sets.
We can sell them at the present wonderfully low prices
only because the Publishers were able to get the raw material
for the first printing at phenomenally low prices.
Now raw materials are up and manufacturing costs are high.
Now the manufacturers' are charging the publishers .these
greatly increased costs. (See' the publisher's letter.) Now
the publishers can supply us with no sets, beyond the present
stock on hand, at the prices of their present contract. Now
we cannot continue the sale to the public at the present prices
beyond the time that the present stock will last.
There are many people all over the country who have decided to
