Louis Metz, one of the owners of
the Metz Brewery of Omaha, and of
which he was general manager before
the state went dry, committed suicide
by hanging himself, in a barn on the
Metz ranch near Cody, Neb., Wednes
day of last week. The death certifi
cate prepared by a Cherry county
doctor or undertaker, and on which
the body was shipped to Omaha for
burial, gave the cause of death as
hanging, strangulation and influenza,
any one of which aliments frequently
proves fatal.
The Hanford Produce company
wants the city to pay more for street
lights or else to be permitted to pump
the city water. It has requested the
council to advance the rate to 12V&
cents, an increase of nearly 100 per
cent, claiming that it now is operating
at a loss. A council committee has
been appointed to confer with the
company. The company also proposes
to shut off all current between 5
o’clock and 7 o’clock each morning for
a month or so, alleging that there is
hardly any current used during this
period and that the two hour shut
down would save them about $95 a
month.

DISABLED SERVICE MEN IN
TRAINING FOR NEW JOBS
Washington, D. C., July 10,1920.—In
a statement issued by the United
States Civil Service Commission it is
said that the rehabilitation branch of
the Fercdal Board for Vocational Ed
cation has nearly 50,000 men in train
ing to overcome the handicaps result
ing from war injuries and thereby to
become again self-supporting.
A large proportion of these men are
in training in commercial, trade, and
agricultural schools. It is stated that
training assistants qualified in these
branches of education are urgently
needed by the vocational board in
order that the work may be properly
supervised, followed up, and connected
with satisfactory employment outlets.
It is said that a large number of posi
tions can be offered to properly quali
fied persons at initial salaries not in
excess of $2,400 a year.
Applicants must have an education
equivalent to graduation from a stand
ard high school, and in addition not
less than two years’ training in col
lege or normal school. An additional
iequirement is at least one year’s ex
perience in teaching in a high, agri
cultural, or industrial school; or in
trade, industry, or agriculture; or as
commissioned officer in the Army,
Navy, or Marine Corps.
The Civil Service Commission states
that it will receive applications for
these positions until further notice.
PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.
The man in the White House con
trolled the delegates but not the
voters.
The San Francisco Democratic con
vention wa s a perfect example of
“absent treatment."
President Wilson is like the Irish
man who said he would have peace if
he had to fight for it.
President Wilson and the Wilson
National Convention dug the grave of
the Jefferson Democracy.
Singular, but tht) band in the Demo
cratic National Convention played
“Dixie” most of the time.
It is a rubber stamp platform, all
right. President Wilson is strong
enough to use his old emblem of au
tocracy.
The whole country is amazed over
the high-handed methods of President
Wilson in the San Francisco conven
tion.
It appears that the greatest risk the
soldiers now run is the War Risk Bu
reau. Scandals in' this department
come thick and fast.
The' Democratic Convention at San
Francisco might be summed up in the
words familiar to so many Democrats:
"Wilson, that’s all."
It appears that “hit ’em again”
was the key-note of the Democratic
Nutional Convention. So this is the
high-tide of Wilson Democracy.
“My policy; my programme; my
will,” was the key-note of the San
Francisco convention. Where, oh
where, is the Jeffersonian democracy?
On the second day of the convention,
Mr. Bryan was sufficienty aroused to
call it “an administration-controlled
convention.” It was all that.
Postmaster General Burleson is
charged with “nullification” of por
tions of the '.eiirement law. “Nulli
fication seem3 to be a favorite word of
the Democrat^.
Petaluma (Cal.) Argus: Fine! The
nomination of Warren G. Harding and
Calvin Coolidge for president and vice
president suits us.
San Diego (Cal.) Union: The nomi
nation of Senator Warren G. Harding
of Ohio to be the Republican candidate
for the presidency will be received by
the rank and file of the Republican
party with the utmost satisfaction.
i -
Marion (0 ) Star: Since it has de
veloped that fat places in the depart
ment of justice have been given to
s contributors to the attorney general's
■ campaign fund it’s easier to under
stand the failure to make a successful
campaign against the profiteers.
San Jose (Cal.) Mercury-Herald:
With the election of Warren G. Hard
ing to the Presidency, government by
theory and intuition will give place to
government by experienced experts,
based on proved principles of sound
national management.
Reno (Nev.) Gazette: The nomina
tion of Warren G. Harding for Presi
dent and Calvin Coolidge for Vice
President by the Republican national
convention gives Republicans a ticket
that not only they but all other Ameri
cans can and will support with all the
strength that comes from thorough ap
proval.
Santa Barbara (Cal.) Press: Most
political conventions have done the un
expected. When unbossed they always
io.' And the charge may never truth
fully be made that the Republican con
tention which at Chicago nominated
Warren G. Harding of Ohio for presi
lent was bossed. Or that the nominee
was hand-picked.
Everett (Wash.) Tribune: The se
lection of Warren G. Harding as presi
lential candidate with Calvin Coolidge
)f Massachusetts as running mate,
provides a ticket that will find favor
with every republican voter in the
United States and many others who
desire a change in the national ad
ministration at this critical period in
the affairs of the nation.
Boise (Idaho) Statesman: When
the Senate was investigating cam
paign expenditures, it met a stumbling
blck in the form of William Gibbs Mc
Adoo, son-in-law of the president and
aspirant to White House honors. The
McAdoo presidential movement was
described as “powerful,” but still no
light could be had on its location,
backing, finances or management.
Herein is mystery.
Martinez (Cal.) Gazette: The com
mendable result of the deliberations of
the Republican national convention—
the nominating of Warren G. Harding,
United States Senator of Ohio, for
president, and Calvin Coolidge, gov
ernor of Massachusetts, for vice-presi
dent, will become more and more evi
dent as the people of the nation be
come better acquainted with the high
character and sterling worth of the
two men.
San Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle: Mr.
Hoover announces that he shall ar
dently support the Republican nominee
because he believes him to be a
thoroughly fit man for President, and
hopes that all his friends will do the
same. Mr. Hoover favors Senator
Harding because he believes him to be
a strong man who will harmonize the
party on healthful and progressive
national lines without dictation, but by
consultation.
Cincinnati (0.) Commercial Trib
une: Exposure by the balance sheet
is to the effect that it cost the United
States Government, which is financed
by the people, a cool billion to operate
the railroads of the country taken over
from the owners as a war-time emer
gency act. Now exposition is by evi
dence of experts that it is going to
cost the people of the United States,
who financed the government, just
twice that sum as an initial expense of
getting these same railroads returned
to ihe owners in smooth running order.
Santa Rosa (Cal.) Republican: Sen
ator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, has
teen nominated by the Republican con
vention at Chicago as the Republican
party candidate for the presidency of
the United States, and Governor Cal
vin Coolidge of Massachusetts, was
•selected by the same convention to be
his running mate, the candidate for
the vicepresidency. The selection of
these two men will unquestionably
mt et with the approval of all loyal and
thinking Republicans in the United
Slates and there is slight doubt that
they will be elected.
LIKES ’EM.
Cincinnati Enquirer: “Doesn’t your
husband like you to get clinging
gowns?” asked Mrs. Peach.
“Yes,” replied Mrs. Lemon. “He
likes me to get the kind that will cling
to me for three or four years.
PARCEL POST.
Cincinatti Enquirer: “Any mail fel
ine today?” asked Si Meddergrass, as
he came into the Hicksville postoffice.
“Betcha!” replied the postmaster.
“There’s a cream separator, a buggy
top, a tractor radiator and a wagon
tongue.”
NOT HER FAULT.
Pearson’s Weekly: Husband—Come
along! Keeping me here standing like
a fool!
Wife—Do be reasonable, dear. Can
I really help the way you stand ?
EXPENSIVE, AT THAT.
London Punch: After considering
the budget very carefully some people
are veering round to the theory that
we didn’t win the war, but just
bought it.

I My Best
Pa^yirvg Irvvestrrvervt
Look at my car now! Only a few days ago it was about the ;
shabbiest car in the country. The finish was dull, mud spattered and j
weather beaten. The body and fenders were scratched and rust j
was beginning to eat away the unprotected metal.
A few hours work with
LINCOLN
Auto Enamel Finish
m has transformed the shabbiness into newness. The body, fenders, ;
I wheel? and chassis are protected from moistupe and rust.
| The car looks almost like new and the money spent for the few
1 small cans of paint has been returned tenfold to me, in the increase in
1 value and in satisfaction of driving a car that is spic and span as new
i There is a dealer in Lincoln Paints and Finishes right here in j
I our town who will gladly show you how your old, shabby car can be
I made like new.
