STATE CAPITOL NEWS MsUe Secretary Pool and State And. lUr Smith Have Made INccllent Record in Their (Mllcc ( Py Herald Correspondents) Lincoln. Nobr., Si pt. 27 Secre tary of State C. V. Tool has made a record for t he collection of corpor ation licenses not before equaled by any secretary of state sinee the cor poration law went Into effect. 'His collections will show 7..o00 more turned Into the state treasury than any predecessor. Which, goes to show that Charley Pool has been on the job ever since ho took charge of' the ollice in Jar. nary. l!)l.r. State Auditor Win, II. Smith lias! succeeded in collecting about $27. 500 of old insane funds during his term of office. Thin indebtedness has been running for twenty-live years or more, and only during the last two or three years has there been any effort made to collect it. When Auditor Smith took charge of the office he began u systematic effort to collect up the state's delinquent claims, and the collection of the above-mentioned amount la the re sult of his labors along this line. It has been customary in the past for state departments and institu tions to run large deficiencies toward the end of the biennium. Taking the records for fifteen years back or since 1901 to 1913, the year Gover nor Morehead was Inaugurated the .first time, big deficiencies were a .common thing. Governor Morehead inherited deficiencies coming out of the Aldrich administration that seemed to have reached the climax of wasteful extravagance. A large number of departmental offices and state institutions created In that bi ennium deficiencies amounting . to many thousands of dollars, and the legislature of that year was forced to take care of these debts In the form of deficiencies. For fifteen years hack of this, however, legislatures were compelled to wrestle with this form of republican extravagance. We say republican, because In all these years republicans controlled the state government, and In that period only one democratic governor was elected, and he was alone. The bal ance of the officers were of republic an extraction. In view of this past record the taxpayer will no doubt be pleased to learn that the present democratic state administration will go through two years without the extravagant deficiencies which have obtained heretofore. This in addi tion to reducing the state levy $1, 018,000 Is a showing that cannot be duplicated by any administration In the state's history. It is with a great deal of satisfac tion that state democratic headquar ters received Hie news of the New Yoik state primaries which were held Tuesday, September 19. Kike the .Maine election, a large falling off of the republican vote wns noted, and the democratic vote vuis Increas ed correspondingly. It is estimated by both republican and democratic authorities, althoiuh somewhat re I net a tit ly by the former, that more than forty per cent of the progress ive (Hull Moose) vote of New York went for Judge Sea bury, who is Un democratic candidate for governor. Governor Whitman was the republic an candidate for renomination. What makes it more significant is the fact that New York state Ia the home of the republican presidential candi date, Charles E. Hughes, Col. Roose velt. G. W. Perkins, Chairman Wil cox of the national committee, as well us many others, who had used every effort at their command and spent much Wall Street kale, In or der to bring the progressives back to the republican fold. A few days ago Col. Roosevelt Issued a stirring appeal to New York progressives to vote for Whitman Instead of Sea bury, because the latter was for the re-election of Wilson. The primary vote showed a very large per cent of progressive voters in New York are for President Wilson's re-election. tended especially for .these ailments and are excellent.

Adv Sept M'ltri.CH STRAW A good way to dispose of some of the straw you feel like burning Is to use it in the hen house, says the poultry department of the university college of agriculture, Lincoln. The straw may be used on the floor ns a scratching litter, for It senes as a warm carpet and keeps the birds' feet oft" the cold Moor. It may also be used for a loft, support Mi by 1-inch n csh wire netting or by 1-inch by 4 -inch boards laid over the rafters about two Inches apart. Aloes; the walls, wire serves this purpose well. Lath or burlap b:ic stretched tightly over the studding may also be used. A vent placed In I lie roof over a straw loft will pro mole ventilation and help keep the house dry. Are You Looking Old? Olr age comes quick enough with out inviting it. Some look old at forty. That is because they neglect the liver and bowels. Keep your bowels regular and your liver heal thy and you will not only feel young er but look younger. When troubled with constipation or biliousness take Chamberlain's Tablets.

Consider the suffering that must he endured until a physician arrives or medicine can be obtained. Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has a reputation second to none for the quick relief which it af fords. Obtainable everywhere. Adv Sept LAW PR1i:CTH ItY TllKATV Late advices dirci'f from the Illo logical Survey. Washington IV ('., are to the effect that on the 29th of Aug ust the t'nlted States senate ratified n thcaty with the British government for the protection of migratory birds between the I'nited States and Can ada. This treaty provides that no Insect iverous birds shall be killed at any time, and that no minatory birds shall be killed for longer than a per iod of three and one-half months In any part of either country. A treaty takes precedent over a court, and consequently the law can not be attacked as fs the lute law enacted by emigres to govern the killing of birds In the I'nited States alone. Therefore, there is no ques tion as to the comMltutionalitv of the law. This makes our open scanon in Nebraska: in fact, all of the north .one, begin September 18th and end January 1st, while in te south zone It will open one month later and close one it. out h later, making the same open season for all parts of the 1' lilted States. GAS IN SILOS DANGLROIS Death lurks in the carbon dioxide gas formed when silage passes thru the process of fermentation, espec ially in pit silos, says the agricultur al engineering department of the state agricultural college. Carbon dioxide is transparent, heavier than air, flows over the ground like water, and collects in low places. Pit silos are very dan gerous during the first few weeks af ter filling. After starting to put in the corn, one should never enter a pit silo without testing for gas by lowering a lighted lantern. If the flame goes out, gas is present. Re move this by means of air currents. W. C. T. I . CONVENTION Mrs. Mamie C.

Nebraska pro duced 213,000,000 bushels of corn in 1915, of which 20 was shipped out of the county where it was grown. This means that 42,600,000 bushels of Nebraska corn were sold for shipment in 1915. Official report for the year 1915 thow that about two thirds of the amount shipped, or 28,000,000 bushels, war: soft corn. This soft corn was not available for elevator storage on account of too much moisture in the corn. A small pc .'.on of such corn can be dried, but the bulk of it was used for distilling purposes. According to government statistics, the estimated farm value of corn for 1915 was 61 cents per bushel, an average which could not have been maintained had it not been for the fact that the soft corn was bought by distilleries at prac tically FULL MARKET VALUE of grade corn, deducting only for difference in moisture. Had there been no distilleries, there would have been next to no market at all for the soft corn of 1915. The soft corn would certainly have sold for about 20c a bushel LESS than grade corn, provided it could have been used at all. This would have meant a loss to Nebraska corn growers in the year 1915 of the enormous sum of S5,600,000! The Nebraska Prosperity League OPPOSED TO STATE PROHIBITION.
