GOVERNOR ASKS FOR HELP Next Legislature Will be Provided With Data to Enact Suitable Laws in the Matter. Lincoln. Stute-wido Investigation of sanitary demands Is going to be undertaken on a thorough scale with in the next throo months. Governor Morehcad haB ordered the board of secretaries of the state board of health to initiate- the movement so that the next set of legislators will have nil the facts and figures before them neco3sary to enact sultablo lawj. in a statement Issued ho asks the- co-operation of the people and especially the physicians of tho state. 1113 statement follows: "While wo have, and purpose to do more for the brute creation, we must not overlook the human family, and the health and welfare of human society. With tho increase of population, it becomes more and more impressive that wo establish and maintain proper sani tary regulations. The medical frater nity has shown a commendable spirit of enterprise, but it requires concen trated action in order jo arrive at tho proper legislation. In order that all possible data may be available for the use of tho legislature, when It convenes In January, and that the members may bo apprised of the best scientific method for preventing dis ease, I am calling on the board of secretaries of the state board of health to make Investigation and pre pare a report for the assistance of tho legislature, and I want to call upon all members of tho medical pro fession and other public spirited citi zens who have information that may be of service, to co-operate with the board of secretaries." Seed Corn Selection Week. -In view of the fact that our success fuL farmers and experiment stations And that early selection of seed corn Is advisable. It seems, In a matter of such great economic Importance, that a time should be set aside for Its early selection. The following reasons for early se lection are apparent: 1. Early selected seed is less lia ble to bo injured by freezing. 2. Seed selected in tho field en ables the farmer to obtain ears from plants of tho proper type and from plants growing under normal condi tions. 3. From various reports received, the present crop has ripened early, and seed may bo safely selected at the end of tho month. It appears essen tial, however, that such corn once se lected should be stored Immediately in as dry a place as possible. A special reason why our farmers should select their own seed will ap pear from data of the Nebraska Ex periment Station showing that native seed produced G.2 bushels more per acre than excellent seed brought In from othnr districts. With these facts in mind, I desig nate the week beginning September 28 as Seed Corn Selection Week and urge its general observance as tho proper time for this Important task. Given under my hand and tho great seal of the State of Nebraska, this tho twenty-third day of Septem ber, 1911. JOHN H. MOREHEAD, Governor. Stock Yard Case Postponed.

Abbott of tho John- Elaborate Cape ONE of the most elaborate of tho many developments of tho capo is plctuied hero. It Is a two-pleco gar ment in which n very full, long cupo is set on to a surplice. It is the most nmple and envoloplng of all tho capes which the season has brought out. Tho material used Is a soft, heavy black satin, with a lining of white batin. lighter in weight but equally as soft. Tho surplice portion of this garment crosses below tho bust line in the front nnd hooks in tho back. Tho ma terial Is turned back, In the form of revers, and provided with a ripple col lar across tho back of the neck. Tho lower or capo portion of the garmont is sot on to tho surplice by menns of a piping. In order to provide for tho amplo fullness which ripples about tho bottom tho cape is cut in circular form. It Is 12 Inches longer In the back than Ip the front. Tho fronts are rounded off and sloped gradually to the longest point at the middle of tho back. Mado In this way tho lining Is al ways In evidence and may be featured so that It becomes tho most conspicu The Latest Showing in Girdles r WITH tho disappearance of the nor mal waist lino girdles havo be come wider and still T.idor. They wrap the figure In many cases from below tho bust to the thi&u, making a straight lino Instead of a curved lino at tho front and back. Less extremo nnd moro populnr nro thoso fiom nine to twelve Inches wide, which ure ad justed loosely ubaut tho waist. Two girdles of ilils kind, which merit attention because they show now features in their construction, aro shown here. Ono of them Is madu of moire ribbon not moro than throo inches wide. It Is In golden-brown color shading from light to dark Lengths of this rnolro ribbon aro sewed together b hand In the very tiniest of seams. In this way ribbon too narrow for tho present styles ian be used to make wido girdles. Using tho same Idea, silk ribbons of other kinds aro widened by mnchlno stitching them to volvot ribbons. A very attractlvo girdle Is made by black velvet ribbon on both edges of a colored satin ribbon or ono of brocade. of Black Satin ous part of the garment Instead of tho plain, white satin thero are rich and brilliant brocades, or broad and pronounced stripes, or a great variety of plaids of all descriptions from which a cholco of linings may bo made. For general utility tho white lining will serve best. There is plenty of room In this capo to draw It up over the arms If ono wishcB tho hands free, nnd oven so tho fronts will hang fairly straight and tho cape have the appearance of n loose garment with flowing sleeves. Few capes this season are capes pure and blmplc, but of cape-like garments thero are many. This model may be recommended for anyone who aspires to the really magnificent black velvet or velvet In colors for evening wear. The style Is suited to rich fabrics and droBs occasions, and it Is unsulted to ordinary cloths or to bulky woolon fabrics. Ono may not hope to find anything more graceful than tho capo, for ovo nlng wear, and tho individual wearer can Improvise her own special stylo In managing the cape and thereby achieve distinction. Lengths of silk may bo bordered In tho tamo way. By this means short lengths of ribbon or silk which one may havo on hand nro easily trans formed Into girdles It Booms the smart woman can hardly own tog many of these elegant accessories. The striped girdle showi in tho pic turo Is mado of satin ribbon striped with velvet. It will be noticed thnt no bows u ud loops nro used In these paitlcular stylos, although there arc plenty of them to ho found These girdles aro decorated with covered but tons or buckles mado of the ribbon nnd aro fastened will1 pnap fasteners. Almost without exception tho fash ionable girdles aro boned to hold them In place. Even when a long sash Is wrapped about the waist and tied In tho back tho girdlo portion Is boned at tho front and sides. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

His hearers know he re ferred to tho Armageddon, for ho real ized full well ho had been chosen to meet ono of the greatest crises in tho world's history. And so is elevated to the highest spiritual seat a man almost unknown outBldo of Italy, ono whoso sixty yenrs niako him a young man In the papacy. The wlmlo world, Catholic and non catholic alike, Is curloiiB over the per sonality of this figure whom tho aatuto members of tho sacred collego hopo will lead mankind back to tho walks of peaco. Thero Is found nothing in the comparison of tho persons of Plus X and Benedict XV which suggest tho higher birth of tho latter. In tho now popo ono sees u man flvo feat cloven Inches high and well built. Ho is n triflo bent, as If from study, and wears heavy spectacles. Ho is not a handsome man.

Only after much coaxing was ho induced to Elt. Thero was undoubtedly much modesty in this, but Benodlct XV, If not "ugly" Is not a handsome pontiff. !

Ho is In reality tho product of many genoiatlons of wealth and culture, a philosopher whoso high est delight Is In tho abstruse, scholar ly problems of metaphysics, and who hnb become n statesman by Imporlal, command. Of Jewish origin some generations ago, when n daughter of tho famous Jewish banker of Frankfort, Beth mann, married a son of tho Prussian noblo family of Hollweg, tho chancel lor looks as If ho might trace his ori gin In direct lino back to tho Zealots, that amnll band of indomitable Jews who carried on a desperate struggle with tho Romans to preBorvo Jerusa lem from falling Into profano hands and who submitted to annihilation but not defoat. Under certain influences of environment and Inhoritanco Bethmann Hollweg would havo become a Soclnllbt. Under cortnin others, those which, ho hns had, ho Is a bureaucrat. Tho son of tho Jewish banker's daughter and tho Prussian noble's sou was Bethmann Hollwcg's grandfather.
