PLOT WORLD REVOLT Documents Found in Germany Reveal Complete Plans. Secret Spartacan Circular Urges Agi tation Among the Noske Home Guards. Berlin.—A complete and carefully drawn plan to overthrow the present government and further world revolu tion Is contained In a secret Spartacan circular to Its agents and district chiefs. The document, which was secured by the “general bureau for the study of bolshevism," begins by regretting that the government signed the peacs treaty, thereby delaying the inevitable crisis. The document speculates on various possible developments and then sets forth a concrete “plan, the first step of which would be to hasten an internal German crisis by tampering with the home guards of Gustav Noske, minis ter of defense, which are declared to be less reliable than formerly. The circular urges Spartacan organ izations to agitate among the soldiers by leaflets and verbally. The railroad men, the document says, can be counted as won for revo lution. The postal workers are depwssed, according to the clreulnr, which goes on to say that the program with re gard to the peasants is complete. The winning over of the peasants is de clared to be Important, for without their sympathy or with their enmity revolution would be difficult, If not Im possible. Delay In provoking the revolution Is rather welcomed, “ns It will enable further education of the proletariat; . but every moment and every situation must be utilized toward the final goal.” OLD SHELLS HURT CHILDREN Many Are Wounded In Pales tine by Accidental Explosions. Jerusalem.—Many children are In jured each dny in Palestine by shells and explosives which were scattered throughout the country during the open warfare between the Turks and the allies. The battle fields cover such a large area that careful salvaging has been impossible, and the result Is that chil dren, farmers, or peasant women are mangled almost every dny by nceldent nl explosions. A lnrge number of the cases treated In the American Red Cross surgical hospital here have been bomb cases, according to the physician In charge. The hospital was operated for seveu months, treating a total of 008 pa tients. In the various clinics and dis pensaries operated by the Red Cross In connection with the hospital, 24,000 nren, 40,000 women and 70,000 children were treated in 11 months’ time. The hospital has now been turned over to the city health department. ALIENS PREPARE TO RETURN Fully 20,000 From Baltimore Alone to Go Back to the Soil of Their Birth. Baltimore, Mil.—Fully 20,000 real dents of Baltimore, most of tliem for eigners, are making preparations to emigrate from the United States to once more take up their homes in their blrthlands, it was disclosed following a visit to the oflices of several steam ship agencies. That the number of persons who are waiting to return to their native lands Is not n negligible quantity is evidenced by the statement of an East Baltimore shipping agent that within the last mouth more than l.(XK) men and \wmen have applied at Ills office for Information regarding ihe resump tion of passenger travel to various European countries. At least 2,000 radical Russians liv ing In Baltimore It has been estimated by u shipping agent, are ready to re turn to chaotic Russia and take up their residence under bolshevik rule. Handshake Is Costly. Wheeling, W. Yu.—Alleging lie lias been injured for life as a result of u handshake, John A. Tennyson of thl* city, filed suit In flic circuit court for $5,000 damages against Riley Briggs, u former Wheeling policeman.

A lodge, hear • Ing of his ease, Investigated and J obtained his freedom. But that 1 wasn’t enough to satisfy him; he got a divorce. Carrol admitted that, owing to bis Imprisonment, he did not know the United States was at war with Germany until five ] months after war was declared. His wife, he said, believed him Incompetent, after an accident which temporarily invalided him, and was aided by their son in keeping him prisoner. He was adjudged competent at a sanity hearing prior to the divorce trial. i • HOGS ARE LOWEST IN LAST 2 YEARS Hog ssales on the South Omaha market averaged $1.50 a hundred low er Wednesday than Tuesday. The market was demoralized. Top quo tations reached $17.25 a hundred, $2 lower than Tuesday’s top prices. To day the bulk of sales ranged from $15.60 to $16.25, the lowest in more than two years. Heavy packing sows sold as low as $15 a hundsed. Outside independent packers and order buyers were not among the bid ders. Buyers said it was their opinion the government was forcing lower prices. Popular Soprano Coming. Mme. Mabelle Wagner Shank, the popular soprano and the Sokoloff Trio, will be heard in an unique recital at the K. C. Hall on the evening of Sep tember 26. Mme. Shank’s voice is a mezzo soprano, clear, true, and flexible; and of exquisite beauty, especially in the high register. She sings with fluency and ease, with feeling and expression. And to her finished vocal art she adds a graceful stage presence and charm ing manner. We understand that Mme. Shank will in some way, attempt the seem ingly impossible feat of singing duets with herself. The Sokoloff Trio are Artists of considerable repute who have toured in this country for several season*, making friends and admirers where ever they have been heard because of their serious attitude toward their art as well as their unusual talent. Admittance to the recital will be by card only. VOTERS ATTENTION. To the Voters of the 53d District, Holt County: The time for the primary is at hand therefore it behoves all thinking people to pause a moment to consider the importance of the coming consti tutional convention in order that we may intelligently choose a delegate whom we can' absolutely D'ust that he will look after the interest of all the people and not a certain class only. Consider what a constitution is. The principles or fundamental laws which govern a state, or other organ ized body of men, and are embodied in written documents. Is it not one of these documents, the ablest one written in the world, that puts Glory into “Old Glory?” It is the constitution that safe guards and guarantees you life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, that gives you the right to go to the polls to select your own delegate. These principals must be preserved regardless of how the constitution is otherwise revised. Being a member of the Holt County Board of Supervisors and a member of the Farmers Union Organization, also a Director of the Union Corpora tion at Atkinson probably gives me an insight into different things by which I may be able to give the people a greater service should I be nominated and elected as a delegate to the con vention. • Kespectiuiiy, J. VICTOR JOHNSON. UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY Time is the test of truth. And Doan’s Kidr.ty Pills have stood the test in O’Neill. No O’Neill resident who suffers backache, or annoying urinary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice-told testimony. H. W. Ritts, carpenter, O’Neill, says: “I suffered for two years from weakness in my back and I was in such a bad way that every time I stooped, sharp twinges darted through me. A dull sort of pain through the small of my Back bothered me day and night. Lots of times when I sat down, it would only be with great effort I could get up again. I took only two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Gilligan & Stout’s Drug Store, and they cured me. That cure was made five years ago and I have never had any trouble with my back since.’- (Statement given Aug ust 25. 1909.) THE RESULT LASTED. On June 20, 1916, Mr. Ritts said: “I recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills even more highly than ever, because the cure they gave me is still lasting. I feel that I owe my good health to having used this medicine.” OOe, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Some Pitchers Do Swear.

Why Tires Are Better There’s some difference in the prices of Sprague tires, made in Nebraska, and in the ordinary brands. The Sprague costa a bit more, at first, but MUCH LESS in the end. That’s because of Quality Sprague is a QUALITY tire; most other* can be called "price" or "production” or "turu-’em-out-quick" tires. Sprague puts quality first. Hand-Built The Sprugue is a band-built tire. Do you prefer hand-made or machine made shoes? 100 Per Cent Perfect In Sprague band-built tires, construction Is Inspected and re-inspected many times. In these tires, a human being accurately and carefully builds layer on layer—first of fabric and then of rubber. He must do 100 per cent work. A machine turns ’em out fast, with a mere mechan ical regard for perfection. Human hands build perfection into Sprague tires. Sea Island Fabric is used exclusively in Sprague tires. It is made of the strongest cotton that grows. It weights 17V4 ounces to the square yard. It has pulling —WEARING—strength of about 000 pounds to the square Inch. Other fabrics, used in ordinary tires, weigh 10 to 11 ounces and have a strength of from 000 to 700 pounds. More Fabric Fabric used In Sprague tires is stretched only 10 per cent. Fabrics used in ordinary tires are stretched from 12 to IS per cent—to make still LESS fabric for MORE tires. In fact, the life is stretched out of the fabric in most other tires. Pure Para Rubber the richest and most costly of all, is used exclusively in the tread and side wall and friction of the Sprague tire. Sprague tread and side wall are 75 per cent Pure Para. Some others carry as low as 40 per cent, with the rest "filler”—compound to cheapen the tire. Oversize Sprague tiros are oversize. They ■ eigli from 3 to 5 pounds more than 1 other tires of the sanm ' \ •'< more rubber, and an EXTRA ; PLY of the REST F. ’ ' IN . WORLD. For Instance, the side wall In a Sprague 3Va i* t re carries 100 points in guage. Other brands carry from 60 to b ■ points. SPRAGUE Tires ind Tubes Are Sold by 4. B.
