This in formation 1b gathered primarily for for tho purposo of giving to Nebraska soldiers and sailors an opportunity to oxorclso thoir voting privllogos, It is Governor Neville's desire, however, to make tho record kopt in this office acfch nB will not only enable the mon to vote, but will act as a sourco of in formation in cooperating with tho Federal Government as woll as servo ns an authentic record of men enlisted from Nebraska. Thoro is, at the pres ent time, no place la which such an authentic record is being kopt.

The Governor's offiqe lias a list of tho men inducted into tho service by local exemption boards and those en listed in tho National Guard of tho Stato. Howovcr inasmuch aa theso men have been frcnuontly transferred tt is exceedingly difficult to securo tho Information necessary to inako this undertaking succestinil. Confident of the" desire df every Nebroskan, and ospeclally those who have sons or relatives in the service, that tho Stato's record and tho record of In dividuals bo proservod, Governor Novlllo is calling upon all Nobraskans to assist in tho gathering of this infor mation. Ho is asking- all nowspapors in Nebraska to publish a facsimllo of tho card containing tho Information dfniiml, together with tho request that ovory person having a rolativo or frlond In tho sorvico forward all in formation obtainable concerning that man eithor to the Governor's office or lo tho County Council of Dofonso. Tho Govornor also requests that when it is learned that a man lias been trans forred, a friend or rolativo notify bis office of tho ehango so that tho record may bo kopt up to date. This is an important service which ovory No liraskan can render the boys who are fighting thoir fight In forwarding this Information direct to tho Governor's office, nddross it "Governor Keith Novillo, Nebraska Soldiers Bureau State House Lincoln.

"How long have you been living In New York?" asked the visitor. "Oh, about three years," replied the, former resident. "Then you know tho town pretty well?" was tho next query. The former Pittsburgher admitted, that he did, nnd gave the visitor some advice and wnrnlng about tho big city. He listened. Then ho asked:. "What ure you doing here, Bill?'" "Working for n bank down town," j replied tho other mun. I Tho Pittsburgher didn't press his i chnnco friend for detnlls. Ho thought I that Bill had one of those jobs down ' town where one starves to death i amidst the wealth of the nation die of thirst upon the fountain's brink.

' ' "It's a funny thing,"" said the Man to his Wife the other night. "You used to like cooklug, as I remember it. Breaking a new maid In was always a time of great trial and tribulation. But every night I come home to dinner you emerge from the kitchen almost as though you hated to leave the master pieces you have evolved long enough to greet your lmrd-workiug husband properly. What's tho reaspn?" N "Well," said the Wife of her Hus band; "it's like this. It's n sort of game. I may not ever see any fighting, but I feel that out there In tho kitchen am helping France, England and, lust but not least, our own blessed boys; Every time I make a loaf of rye bread I feel like waving a ling. Every tlmo make my allowance stretch a little bit I feel ns though I had won a battle. And so I have. I've beaten old General Hlghcostallvlng. Every time I squeeze a War Savings stnmp out of theifood allowance I feel that I personally have ilrcd n shot at the Bodies." "Good girl," mid the Man patted his Wife gently. "Since I can't go and wo have no one to give, the best we can do Is to play the game over here as though we loved it." - Dog's Death Led to Suicide. Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife of Norman Dugdale, J.
