Austrian Socialists
For No Annexation
Copenhagen, Oct 27 Austrian so
cialists, at their convention in Vienna,
demanded that the government pro
claim the principle of no annexations
and no indemnities,, both positively
and negatively. They also called on
the government to disavow any de
sire to maintain Poland and Serbia in
any kind of military or economic de
nendence and to secure Germany's ad
hesion to the same program. This is
the first party in the central empires
to formally reject the idea of veiled
annexation.

NO CARS," COMPLAIN
POTATO SHIPPERS
Northwestern Officials Dispute
Assertions of Growers That
Crop is Not Being Moved;
Box Cars Utilized.
Brothers and Sisters Meet for
Reunion at Home of Mrs. Stine
Gordon, Nth., Or?. 27. (Special
Telegram.) "We have had no cars tor
three days for the shipment of pota
toes out of here," said A. L. Davis,
president of the Nebraska Potato Im
provement association today. Contin
uing, he said .
"About nine-tenths of our shipments
have been in box cars, with great risk
to shippers. We can load 25 cars
with potatoes daily if the cars are fur
nished. We are not short on help to
deliver the potatoes at tioruon an'I
other statijtis on the Northwestern,
as has lten stated. However, we are
short refrigerator cars and time and
again during the last three weeks we
have asked for refrigerator cars. Dur
ing the time we have been furnished
with about 10 per cent of the cars
asked for."

At the office of General Manager
Frank Walters of the Northwest rn
the statement was given out that whiie
it is impossible to find enough refrig
erator cars to move the potato crop
of northern Nebraska, as many box
cars are laid in at the stations in the
potato-growing area daily as can be
loaded out. Relative to refrigerator
cars, Mr. Walters said:
"There are not sufficient refrigerator
cars in the country to meet the de
mands beniK made UDon the railroads I
and consequently we are doing the
best we can. We are sending our
best box cars into the potato-growing
districts and when these cars are
loaded stoves are put into them in
the event the weather is freezing cold.
Thus potatoes shipped in box cars
reach the market without danger of
freezing or being injured by cold
weather.
"With the present demand for cars,
coming from very section of the ag
ricultural country, it is impossible to
supply any one station with a certain
number of cars on any particular day.
However, we are doing the best we
can and are moving the Nebraska po
tato crop as rapidly as possible.
"We know that in many of the potato-growing
districts west of Nor
folk and east of Rtishville there is a
shortage of help in the potato fields.
The shortage has existed in the fields.
in getting the potatoes to the load
nig stations and into the cars. We
are not placing the blame for. this
condition upon the potato growers.
lor we oeiieve they, like the railroad
people, arc doing the best they can.
Still, the shortage exists and it don't
look as if there is any way by which
it can be prevented.
"As has been said before, the shin
ments of potatoes out of the districts
along the north line of the North
western average around 25 to 35 car
loads daily, and that number of car
pretty well supplies the demand."

To Examine Women
Applicants Each Tuesday
Miss Edith Tobitt, chairman of j
women's registration for Douglas
county, has received the first govern- i
ment call for women's service. The '
call is for stenographers and type- '
writers and is sent out by the United I
States civil service department. These '
positions offer from 900 to $1,200 per '
year. The circular received at the !
public library states that a civil serv
ice examination will be held each
Tuesday in room 31 of the postoffice
Dunning until turther notice.
"On September 12 hundreds of
women registered for e'erical work.
It is possible that many of these will
be in a position to take the civil serv
ice examination. Aa erTort will be
iv.a !e to notify these people by tele
phone. b'Jt newspaDer publicity will
reach many who have given no tele
phone number. The value of this
registration of women is that it should
be made of immediate use. Those

Tobitt.

bocior Tells How To Strengiiien
Eyesight 50 per cent In One
Week's Time In Many Instances
Prescription You Can Have Filled
and Use at Home.
Philadelphia. Fa. Do you wear glasses?
'.re you a victim of eye strain or other eye
weaknesses t If ao, yon will be glad to
know that according to Dr. Lewis there is
real hope for you. Many whose eyes were
failing say they have had their eyes re
stored through the principle of this won
derful free prescription. One man says,
after trying it: "I was almost blind; could
not tee to read at all. Now I can read
everything without any glasses and my
eyes do not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully: now they feel fine
II the time. It was like a miracle to me."
A lady who used it aays: 'The atmos
phere seemed haxy with or without glasses,
but after using this prescription for fifteen
days everything seems clear. I can even
read fine print without glasses.' It is
believed that thousands who wear glasses
can now discard them in a reasonable time
nd multttadce more will be able to
strengthen their eyes ao as to be spared the
trouble and ipene of ever getting glasses,
iye troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following the sim
ple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to
any active drug store and get a bottle of
Bon-Opto tables. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet
in a fourth of a glass of water and allow to
dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eyes
two or four times daily. You should notice
your eyes clear up perceptibly right from
the start and inflammation will quickly dis
appear. If your eyes are bothering you, even
a little, take steps to save them now before
it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might
have been saved if they had cared for their
eyes in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician to
whom the above article was submitted, said:
"Bon-Opto is a very remarkable remedy.
Its constituent ingredients are well known to
eminent eye specialists and widely pre
scribed by them. The manufacturers guar
antee it to strengthen eyesight 60 per cent
in one week's time in many instances or re
fund the money. It ean be obtained from
any good druggist and is one of the very
few preparations I feel should be kept on
head for regular use in almost every fam
