HALL ASKS PDBLIC

Calls Attention to Men's Need
of Employment on Their
Return.
COMMERCIAL CLUB LETTER
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (Special.) On
the eve of the return of the Nebraska
soldiers from the border, Adjutant
General Phil Hall desires again to
call the attention of the public to the
fact that the boys will need jobs.
Coming back in the middle of the win
ter it will be a hardship upon many of
them to secure positions. Some of
them gave up good jobs to serve their
country and it is essential that they
, should not be forgotten, he says. The
general has sent a letter to commer
cial clubs of the state urging them to
take some action.
You undoubtedly arc aware of the exigen
cies of the milt tar yservice of the country
. tt thta time and tha fact that the National
iuard has in the ltt three years developed
into a national reserve which would In
r lime of war furnish to the nation the larger
portion of Its first line of defense, to say
nothing of Its application in case of riots
and unforeseen circumstance requiring ad
ditional force to that of tbo civil In the
slatti'et behalf.
This department is dextrous of enlisting
your co-operation In Recuring positions for
National Guardsmen upon their return from
the Mexican border. Many of these men
will be without employment, and a helping
hand at that time will be an act of kind
ness that will demonstrate the sincere ap
preciation of the people of Nebraska for
the sacrifice that these men have made In
thMr behalf.
It Is appreciated that many employers
could not afford, financially, to hold open
positions of Guardsmen for a period of six
ntnnths, and on tho other hand many large
concerns have paid Guardsmen formerly in
their employ either all or a portion of their
salary wnlle on the border, and upon tne
return of the troops their old positions
will be open to them.
Mr. F. M. Coffey, head of the department
of labor at the state capitol, has cheerfully
agreed to co-operate with this department
by using the free employment feature of
tie department or labor as a medium
through which employers in need of men
may file their requests and Guardsmen may
appear to fill such requests.
The return of the troops Is expected In the
near future, and according to v prostnt
plans thpy 'will be mustered out at Fort
Crook, Neb.
Your co-operation In this matter and any
uuggestiona that you may desire to make
will be deeply appreciated.
Hannan on Trail
Of Fake Inspector
Krom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (Special.) Some
man is traveling about the state repre
senting himself to be an inspector of
the state pure food department, says
Food Commissioner Clarence E. Har-
niau.
He desires the public to know that
all his inspectors have necessary cre
dentials and identification cards and
he desires merchants and others who
have any knowledge of the false in
spector to notify his office at once and
he will investigate. ,
Fugitive Claim Filed
With State Auditor
IFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (Special.) One
claim has already been filed with State
Auditor Smith for the legislature to
adjust. It is to pay a reward offered
by Governor Morehead, as provided
by law, for the capture of fugitives
from justice. No appropriation was
made by the last session to cover the
matter and it will have to go before
the claims committee of the two
houses.
It is due Ira L. Cooper for the ar
rest and delivery of John Jones
charged with the murder of Sam
Leone in Omaha October 22. 1913.
The claim is for $200 and should have
been filed for the former session to
act upon, but Mr- Cooper failed to
no so.
Colonel Harry Bradley
Looks After the Senate
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (SoeciaU
Colonel Harry Bradley of Seward
has again been selected to look after
the upper house and the welfare of
the members. Tvo new furniture for
the upper body will be boueht. The
last session authorized Secretary of
Mate root to buy desks and chairs
and other equipment and authorized
a sum amounting to $5,000. No ap
propriation was made, so, in the face
of a probable new state house, Mr.
Pool figured it would be best to use
the old furnishings again.

Bowmans of Boone
Capture Honors at
The International
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (Special.) Ne
braska people who admired the tine
string of Percheron horses on exhi
bition at the state fair last fall, which
not only carried off many fine pre
miums but took the cream of the rib
bons at the Iowa state fair, will be
interested to know that the owners
of the horses, Bowman & Son of
Boone county, again made a killing
at the International Horse show in
Chicago a week ago, according to in
formation coming to Lincoln, and
walked off with enough ribbons to in
dicate that Nebraska stands high in
competition with other states.
Carchepet was one of the group of
three colts winning first prize, which
was considered the greatest honor of
the show. Mr. Bowman went into
the show, and just to demonstrate
that he meant business, paid $7,000
in cash for Kontact, a 6-year-old un
ported Percheron stallion weighing
2,500 pounds, which had cleaned up
some of the best prizes at former
shows, and which is considered one
of the greatest horses in America.
The Bowmans propose to keep Ne
braska on the map when it comes to
competition with other states in fine
bred stock.

Milling company was totally, de
stroyed by fire early this morning.
The total loss is about $13,000, one-
fourth of which was on wheat and
flour.. The company had a large stock
of flour on hand, most of which was
stored in another building. The origin
of the fire, which was discovered
shortly after 1 o'clock, has not been
ascertained. The company is capi
talized at SI 5,1)00 and most of the
stock is owned by Dodge business
men and farmers. The plant had been
in operation about eight months. It
was insured for $10,000 and probably
will be rebuilt.

"One Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin."
It's a commendable trait that when
something has been of benefit to us,
we want to share it with others who
stand in need of the same help. It's
the touch of Nature that makes the
whole world kin the wanting to be
helpful to our fellowmen.. That is
why people who have used Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy write letters
to the manufacturers about it, and
ask to have them published so that
others will know what to do under
the same circumstances. Behind
every one of these letters is the warm
hearted wish of the writer to be of
use to some one else. Advertisement.
FARMERS ACE HIGH
IN THIS SESSION
Forty -Four Tillers of Soil Will
Be Represented in Next
House.
ONLY FIVE IN SENATE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (Special.) The
lower branch of the Nebraska legis
lature this session will be decidedly
"farmcrcsque," according to the ros
ter just from the printer, prepared
by Secretary of State Pool. Forty
four tillers of the soil will be repre
sented in the house, while the senate
will have but five.
The house will have thirteen law
yers to look after the bills and see
that they come out of the hopper all
right, while the senate will have seven
of the legal fraternity.
There will be seven "real estate
men in the house and five in the sen
ate; three ditors have crowded their
way into the lower body, who, with
the help of two preachers therein,
ought to give a decided moral tone
to the lower branch. J. J. McAllister,
W. J. Taylor, F. A. Reisner and other
able orators will turn their eloquence
loose to such an extent that it may
jar the already unsafe walls.
Preachers in Disguise.
The two preachers appear to-be
angels in disguise, for neither of them
admits his calling, one being tagged
as a professor and the other an in
surance man. Four years ago the
latter was chaplain of the house.
There are two editors in the senate.
Each body has a candy maker. They
are both democrats. There will be
three doctors in the house and two in
the senate, four bankers in the house
and three in the senate, while each
house will have one auctioneer each.
Owing to an error of the printer,
Jim Craddock of Omaha is listed as a
banker instead of an architect, al
though there is not much difference
as far as mbney is concerned. Just
how Jens nielsen will feel to be listed
as an architect is not known, although
it is believed that on account of his
naturally quiet disposition he will
make no kick.
Secretary Pool has prepared the
roster so that the number of the seat
occupied by each member is given.
It is interesting to note that twenty
nine of the forty-nine farmers in both
branches are democrats, while twelve
of the twenty lawyers are republicans.
Four of the five editors are democrats,
while five of the seven bankers are re
publicans. Of the two preachers one
is a republican and the other a democrat
Teacher Badly Hurt By Fall.
Plattsmouth, Neb., Dec. 21. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. John Moreford, who
teaches the Amick school, near Mur
ray, when starting for her work yes
terday morning slipped on the step
of her boarding house and fell, break
ing both legs. Mrs. Moreford s
home is at Elmwood, this county,
and a telephone message called her
husband and Dr. O. E. Liston from
there, who took the injured woman
nome in a motor car.
