v.ID TO SOLDIERS VOTING.
Governor Neville Asks That Relatives
Furnish Him Addresses of Boys
In the Service.
The governors office is endeavoring
to establish a card index system which
contains data concerning every Ne
braskan now in the service. This in
formation is gathered primarily for
the purpose of giving to Nebraska
soldiers and sailors an opportunity to
* exercise their voting privileges. It is
Governor Neville’s desire, however, to
make the record kept in this office
such as will not only enable the men
to vote, but will act as a source of in
formation in co-operating with the
Federal Government as well as serve
as an authentic record of men en
listed from Nebraska. There is, at
the present time, no place in which
such an authentic record is being kept.
Recognizing the noble sacrifice that
these men are making and the im
portant service they are rendering, it
is the thought of the Governor that a
complete record of the achievements
of Nebraska through her men in the
service should be maintained.
The law passed by the special ses
sion of the legislature provides for a
direct “voting by mail” system.
Under this plan it will be an exceed
ingly simple matter for the soldier to
exercise his right of franchise, if the
Governor’s office is able to secure the
information necessary to forward him
a ballot. While the Department in
Washington objected to the plan of
establishing election commissions and
polling places abroad for the gather
ing of the soldier votes, .they have,
since the simplicity of the Nebraska
plan has been presented to them by
Governor Neville, agreed to co-operate
in every manner possible in assisting
Nebraska soldiers and sailors to vote.
The Governor’s office has a list of
the men inducted into the service by
Local Exemption Boards and those
enlisted in the National Guard of the
State. However, inasmuch as these
men haye been frequently transferred,
it is exceedingly difficult to secure the
information necessary to make this
undertaking successful. Confident of
the desire of every Nebraskan, and
especially those who have sons or
relatives in the service, that the
state’s record and the record of in
dividuals be preserved, Governor Ne
ville is calling upon all Nebraskans to
assist in the gathering of this infor
mation. He is asking all newspapers
in Nebraska to publish a facsimile of
the * card containing the jnformatioli
desired, together with the request
that every person having a relative or
friend in the service forward all in
formation obtainable concerning that
man either to the Governor’s office or
to the County Council of Defense. The
Governor also requests that when it is
learned that a man has been trans
ferred, a friend or relative notify his
office of the change so that the record
may be kept up to date. This is an
important service which every Ne
braskan can render the boys who are
fighting their fight. In forwarding
this information direct to the Gov
ernor’s office, address it “Governor
Keith Neville, Nebraska Soldiers
Bureau, State House, Lincoln, Nebr.”

Letter From Joe Ziemer.
Camp Dewey, Co. K, Regiment 1,
Great Lakes, 111.
Dear Sis: I received your box of
candy and papers and was sure glad
to get them, believe me. I tore right
into the candy and only one-third is
left. I sure appreciated it and if I
find anything on my road east I’ll
send it, providing my money holds
out and I think it will as I only spend
20 cents a day. I am having a hat
sewed for 50 cents. You see they sew
it from bottom to top of rim and make
it stiff and it takes about 40 cents
worth of thread to sew a hat; so you
see they don’t make any profit what
so-ever.
Well, Marsa, I don’t think I’ll be in
Great Lakes very long; I know I’ll be
out of Camp Dewey Saturday and
transferred to Camp Ross and
probably stay there for seventy-two
hours and then go to the east coast
for six weeks training and go abroad
on battle ship or transport. All the
gang is rearing to go and so am I,
and believe me, there isn’t any life
like the Navy life. They might say
they kick you around but that isn’t it;
they wasn’t used to authority and the
officers use full authority and they
make you wash daily and they make
you obey orders as given and discip
line and duty are taught to be most
important. If you disobey orders you
are sent to a place called the “Brigg,”
and there you get bread and water
(B. & W.)
Say, Marsa, when I write to you
again my address will be changed and
you be sure and notify Zeffa, Phil and
Francis, Irene, etc., and tell them to
write as soon as they receive my
permanent address for a few weeks.
I’ll be out of detention Friday and
probably get shore leave Saturday or
4th of July. My shots in arm and my
vaccinations are all over and nothing
to worry about until I get aboard
ship and then you get a needle run
into your back about three inches for
spinal “manjetus” or something like
that and that sure does put chills
down your old spine.
Say, Marsa, if you see any of the
guys tell them to write and tell them
I’ll answer immediately. Is there
very many dances and what guys are
going to the dances and what girls do
they rush?
Well, Marsa, you tell Mama that I
am coming fine and eat like a horse.
I’ll bet I gained ten pounds already.
We sure do drill here and after drill
we have a big feed and it doesn’t seem
like they can fill me up and I go to bed
at 8:30 and rise at 5 bells.
Well, Marsa, I’ll close this time.
Your Brother Joe.
P. S. Where is the celebration for
the Fourth. Give me Sandy’s ad
dress. A friend of mine saw young
Malone in this regiment where I was
but I was ’phoned to too late.
Drastic Rules Promulgated to Meet
Big Sugar Shortage.
Omaha, Nebr., July 1.—With only
1,000,000 tons of sugar available to
supply the United States during the
remainder of the yfear, drastic sugar
regulations have been put into effect
by the Food Administration. To meet
the ordinary requirements on the
strictest rating, we will have to cut
our consumption 25%, announces the
Nebraska organization. Summarized
the new rules are:
All buyers of sugar, except the
householder for home consumption,
must secure certificates and present
them when the purchase of sugar is
made. Retailers will secure their
certificates from their county food ad
ministrator. All others will get theirs
from the Omaha office.
Householders may buy not to ex
ceed 2 pounds at any one time in
cities and towns and 5 pounds In rural
communities. While householders are
entitled to 3 pounds per person each
month, they are asked to eat only 2
pounds per month.
Public eating places are prohibited
from putting sugar bowls on their
tables or counters.
Families can get 25 pounds for can
ning and preserving purposes. Ad
ditional 25 pound lots can be bought
only on a certificate issued by the
County Food Administrator.
The manufacture of ices and sher
bets is now prohibited.
Boarding houses, feeding twenty
five people or more, must secure cer
tificates for their sugar.
Beef, Sugar and Meats Must Be
Conserved at All Times.
Omaha, Nebr., July 1.—Beef, sugar
and wheat must be conserved at all
hazards, says the Food Administra
tion of Nebraska. The conservation
measures regarding these commodities
will be continued that we may meet
immediate needs and also build up a
reserve, which well meet demands
later in the season. There will be no
let up in the regulations, announces
the Food Administration.
Mauling It Out of Him.
While the editor of a certain news
paper was away from home for a while
he left the paper in charge of a
minister of the gospel. During the
minister’s stay in the office the fol
lowing letter came from a subscriber:
“I know very well that I paid my sub
scription to your paper the last time
I was in your office. If I get any more
letters from you as I received last
week I will come in and maul h—1 out
of you.” The minister answered the
note like this: “I have been trying to
get that out of the editor for ten
years, and if you will come down and
maul it out of him, then, my dear sir,
I have twenty members of my church
I will let you operate on.”
THAT MORNING LAMENESS
If you are lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a
cause. Often it’s weak kidneys. To
strengthen the weakened kidneys and
avert more serious troubles, use
Down’s Pills. You can rely on O’Neill
testimony.
Mrs. Luke Mandeville, O’Neill, says:
“My back was weak and painful and
when I did my housework, my back
became so lame I could hardly use it.
In the morning when I first got up, I
was stiff and sore across my back and
found it difficult to stoop. I began
taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and from
the first they stopped my backache
and rid me of the lameness. I have
used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different
times since and have always been
helped. I think so much of Doan’s I
am seldom without a box in the
house.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Mandeville had. Foster-Milburn

BAD STORM STRIKES STUART
Hail Breaks Hundreds of Windows
and Ruins Gardens and Field Crops.
Stuart Advocate: Last Thursday
evening about six o'clock, the village
of Stuart and the country south of it
was visited by the worst wind and hail
storm in its history.
The cloud came up so rapidly that
but few were aware of its approach,
and the first intimation we had of its
coming was a cloud of dust and dirt
which filled the air and made it im
possible to see across the street.
The wind had blown but a few
minutes when a deluge of rain and
hail struck and completed the de
vastation began by the wind.
The first damage noted was to
Frank Biglow’s rye northwest of the
cemetery, and from there south on a
strip about one and a half miles wide
the destruction of crops was almost
complete for a distance of ten or
twelve miles, and taking in some of
our best agricultural district.
Stuart village appeared to be in the
worst part of the storm, and Mr.
Ramm just west of town was one of
the heaviest losers. In addition to the
loss' of his crop he h*d two large
barns demolished by the wind. Anton
Batenhorst and Henry Shald each es
timate their losses at five thousand
dollars.
The Brayton farm with its big
orchard was also visited and the fruit
ruined.
The big new McGrew hay barn in
the west part of town was blown to
pieces by the wind entailing a heavy
loss as there was no insurance.
Frank Biglow lost heavily, having
his large granary unroofed and also
had a corner blown from the roof of
his residence, through which the water
poured, damaging the plaster badly.
James Flannigan’s house was also
damaged by the flood of water which
entered through broken windows.
Henry Shald, in addition to the foss
of his crops, had an eighty foot corn
crib blown over and badly wrecked.
M. J. Flannigan’s stone garage
south of the school house was blown
to pieces and the roof carried over
into Abner Spragg’s yard.
Many chickens were killed by the
hail, Joe Wedige southeast of town,
alone lost three hundred.
Ferdinand and Ben Kaup and John
Hoffman report their crops almost a
complete loss.
As usual Joe Bernt was hailed out,
making about seven times in the past
dozen years that hail has struck his
place. 4
In fact, nearly every farm down to
the' Kozisek neighborhood were badly
damaged, and the total loss will run
into many thousands of dollars.
The north end of one of the Flan
nigan hay barns was carried away,
and John Banning had his new garage
in the east part of town entirely de
stroyed.
A number of windmills among
which was that of Albert Desive, were
blown down.
Never before since the country was
settled had Stuart had so many fine
gardens. Eevery one had a “war
garden,” but they sure looked as
though the war had struck them after
the storm had passed.
The velocity of the hail was so
great that in some cases it cut apples
in two on the trees leaving one-half
hanging by the stem.
The ground under the cherry and
plum trees was literally covered with
fruit.
Getting Together.
Judge Wade, talking before the
America First association, at St.
Paul, said a lot of good things, but
the best of his address was what hi
said about “getting together” in the
following words:
chaplains holding service in the
Knights of Columbus building, and
when it came to me that the chaplains
there at the camp representing the
different religious denominations were
working side by side, and shoulder to
shoulder in unity of effort, trying to
keep those boys who were away from
their homes, right with God, I said,—
“Thank God, they are getting to- I
gether.”
“Look out of the window and see
the boys marching by in step with the
drum beat, following the flag. They
are marching away .to the camp—if
your own boy is there, you won’t see
them for the tears. There they go—
side by side—the boy from the Ger
man home—the boy from the Swedish
home—the boy from the home of
Irish parents and Scotch parents, and
French parents, and Norwegian
parents—the sons of every race.
There they go with steady step—the
banker’s boy; the son of the street |
cleaner; the lawyer’s boy and the
farmer’s boy; the Methodist boy, the 1
Jewish boy, the Catholic boy—the boy |
of every creed, marching side by side, 1
following the flag on up to the camp 1
then down to the coast,—on to the
transports, and across the great ocean
with all its peril, and over upon the
fields of France—side by side—
shoulder to shoulder; then down into |
the trenches side by side, and side by |
side many of them, will die; and I tell F
you, that in the mingled blood of those |
boys of different creeds and races, |
and classes, we are going to build a §
new America—stronger, more power- ;
ful, more just, and more free than |
ever before.
“Yes, the war brings its burdens, 1
but it is also bringing to us blessings |
that we never knew before. Oh, if 1
we would just keep the spirit up! 1
Oh, if we can only keep the spirit 1
right—the heart right, we will have
no difficulty in winning this war.”
