WILSON TO ORDER
U. S, GOAL CONTROL
Expect President to Put Distribution
and Price Control Under a
Federal Agency.
Action Will Probably be Taken "by
Tomorrow, at the Latest.
Summer Complaint.
Washington. D. C, Aug. 10. Pres
ident Wilsou next Monday or Tues
day will order government control
over coal distribution and coal prices.
Lower coal prices to American homes
are certain.
The revolutionary action by which
the government will fix 'coal prices
from the mine to the consumer and
decide who shall have priority is ex
pected to he taken in the following
manner:
The president, under the law, may
"require any or all producers of coal
and coke to sell their products only
to the United Stales, through an
agency he designates, which will
regulate the re-sale, prices, produc
tion and distribution."
Th? law provides that "in fixing
maximum prices for purchasers the
commission shall allow the cost of
production, including the expense of
operation, maintenance, depreciation
and depletion and shall add thereto
a just and reasonable profit." A sim
ilar provision covers dealers. Or, un
der the l'omerane amendment to the
food control law, the president may
clothe the federal trade commission
with powers to "fix the prices of coal,
coke, regulate production, sale, ship
ment, distribution, apportionment or
storage thereof, among dealers and
consumers, domestic or foreign.
Hay Commandeer Mines.
Commandeering of their mines may
face any coal operators resisting this
control.
That the president will unload the
great rar-k of fuel control on the fed
eral trade commission is inconceiv
able to those familiar with the vast
work that body is now doing. It
would be a physical impossibility for
the commission with its present gov-J
crnmcnt investigations to undertake
the new tack.
The machinery is available, how
ever, for the creation of a virtual
fuel dictator, a distinct organization
similar to the present wheat purchas
ing board of the food department
and this is the method the president
is expected to recommend.
The president's call at the o.Tice of
R. S. Lovett, priority expert of the
war industries boards, foreshadows
an order to railroad and coal men in
certain .territory to expediate ship
ments to great lakes, regions in or
der to relieve a threatened famine in
the northwest. The railroads war
fcoard requested such action tonight.
The visit to Lovett's headquarters
followed a call on the trade com
mission, where the president receiv
ed preliminary figures on its coal
c ot investigation.
The coal operators failing to ad
just the situation voluntarily, or to
6a.ui.iy the growing demand through
out the country lor definite action,

During the hot weather of the sum
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural looseness of the
bowels, and it is of tbe greatest im
portance that this be treated prompt
ly, which can only be done when the
medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F.
F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y., states, "I
first used Chamberlain's .Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy as much, as five
years ago. At that time I had a so
vere attack of summer complaint and
was suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
family have since used it with like
results."

in the car.
The British and French in Flan
ders and in the vicinity of Lens are
engaged in consolidating positions
won last week from Crown Prince
Rupprecht. The British near Ypres
have made a further advance on a
mile front to a depth of about 500
yards and also in the Somme region
have renewed their attacks with ad
vantage. In the latter maneuver the
British took positions near Epehy and
inflicted heavy losses on the Germans
The Germans have been feeling out
the strength of the French lines in
the Vosges mountain region where,
after heavy bombardments they de
livered attacks against the French
around Badonviller and north of the
Celles-Surplane region. Their efforts
however, went for naught under the
fire of the French guns and rilles.
Verdun Attacks Fail.
On t he Aisne front and in the Yer
dun sector attempts by the German
crown prince to break the French
lines have met with failure.
There, has. -.been ,a considerable
stiffening on the front in Rumania
and also in Russia and in the region
of Yilna. south of Grozeehti. south

a stand against attacks of the Teu

which is in charge of Mrs. Ilargett.
Mr. George W. Tidd, who is connect
ed with the Phillips university, a
Christian college at Enid, Okla., was
the principal speaker and his address
was a very able one, being a review
of the organization of the institution
and its work. This institution was
founded about twenty years ago, the
funds being furnished by a man
by the name of Phillips, living in
Cleveland. O. A Dr. Zollers was sent
out west by this man Phillips, and
directed to find a place where an in
stitution could be profitably located.
This was done, and Mr. Phillips be
ing a member of the Christian
church, had the university organ
ized as a Christian church school,
and which has been doing a good
work along educational lines in all
branches of learning, as well as giv
ing each one a good Christian edu
cation, with a correct understanding
of the Bible? as the first point to be
considered. He also spoke in refer
ence to Cotner university, of this
Ttato, and Drake university of Des
Moines. Ia.. both being schools of
this church.

way and spend a night with them.
They were taking the second load of
eatables and cooking utensils, as well
as camping outfits, when we saw
them this afternoon. They are call
ing their grounds "Moussine Camp"
and we do not know what that
means, whether it is something good
to eat, or an attachment for a Ford
car. Anyway we can see that the,
boys will have a time down there,
with nothing to keep the stars from
shining into their faces as they sleep
except a thin Missouri river fog, and
that not covering all over. Weli,
boys, go to it while you are young,
for when you get old the rheumatism
won't let you.

OLD LADY
' FEELING FINE
After Taking Four Bottles Of
Cardui. The Woman's Tonic
Cobden, 111. ''Having used Cardui,
the woman's tonic, in my family, for a
number of years," writes Mrs. Kate
Metz, of this town, "and always with
such good results, I feel it my duty to
write you about it, so that you may
publish my letter.
My. mother is living with me, and
she is 52 years old. For the last three
or four years, she has been troubled a
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at a time, she would have a
severe headache.
She read of how much Cardui has
helped other women who were sick
and ailing, and decided to give it a
trial. She began taking it three times
a day, and since then has been getting
along simply fine.
Mother only used four bottles of
Cardui, but she is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and . her
stomach is so much stronger that she
can eat'most anything.
We both feel that any lady who Is
rot strong and well, would be greatly
benefited by the use of Cardui.'

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 19. The re
lease of Martin Bowman, wealthy
Hubbell, Neb., man, of German par
entage, who was taken in charge
some weeks ago on a charge of be
ing an alien enemy, after it was re
ported he had cursed President Wil
son as a "murderer," called civil war
veterans in a Memorial day parade
"murderers" and stigmatized the
American flag as a "dirty rag," has
stirred up a hornet's nest here.
The Lincoln Daily Star is charg
ing that T. S. Allen. United States
district attorney, has Teen too len
ient in prosecuting the charges
against German born citizens who
evince disloyalty. Friends of Mr.
Allen insist that many of the stories
of alleged disloyalty are exaggerated,
while in other cases it has been im
possible to prosecute because the al
leged offense is not covered by any
law.
In Bowman's case the Star charges
that District Attorney Allen inform
ed a reported for that paper that
Bowman had been taken in charge
on an alien enemy charge and would
not be allowed an attorney unless
the government should see fit to
grant, him one.
No Announcement of Release.
No official announcement was made
of Bowman's release, until it acci
dentally leaked out. The district at
torney said that it was not cus
tomary to announce such matters.
Bowman, in addition to having ex
pressed very bitter sentiments
against the government, it is
charged, took an active part in op
posing the draft. He is now in
South Dakota.
The ostensible reason for letting
Bowman out of jail and allowing him
to go to South Dakota, it is said, was
that he had been discovered to bo in
fact not. an alien, but a citizen of
the United States. Judge E. O. Kret
singer of Beatrice appeared In the
Bowman case as counsel for the de
fendant. How he carne to become
counsel and whether the government
directed Bowman be allowed an at
torney has not been disclosed.
With Kretsinger on the scene.
however, the plea was made that
Bowman secured citizenship under a
decision rendered in the case of for
mer Governor Boyd. The Star dis
putes that the Boyd case applies to
Bowman, however, pointing out that
Boyd came to Nebraska during the
pioneer days and while the state
was yet a territory, rendering yoe-
inan service in those stressful times
and aWy supporting his government
in all things.
Paragraph Referred To.
It was under the act admitting
Nebraska into the union that the
United States supreme oourt declared
Governor Boyd was a citizen, the
Star contends, pointing to this para
graph in the opinion:
"Within the meaning and intent
of the act of congress, he (Boyd) be
came a citizen of the United States
and the state of Nebraska under the
organization and enabling acts of
congress admitting that state to the
union."
Bowman came to America several
years ago with his father and moth
er. Bowman took out a declaration
of citizenship but never completed it
and it is contended that-under the
more recent ruling of the naturaliza
tion authorities, where one does not
complete his citizenship within seven
years after the declaration, it be
comes null and the applicant must
start all over again.
In this instance, where - Bowman
failed to complete his citizenship, it
is argued that Bowman is in fact a
citizen of Germany.
Importance was attached to the
fact that Bowman held several minor
offices on the school board and as a
town trustee.

Our Selling Method
Saves You Money!.
No merchant ever made money
out of a "Clearance Sale." Every
time he plans a "Clearance Sale"
he knows he is facing a loss. Me
is compelled to sell goods below
cost in order to get rid of them be
fore the season closes.
Take it the other way around.
The buyer denies himself the
clothes he would like to have,
waiting for a chance to save
money. By our plan he can get
the goods when he wants them
and still save money.
We have no clearance sale loses
fr fnm. conseciuentlv. we can and
do mark our goods at less than
regular prices at the beginning of
the season. If they don't move
off our shelves promptly or if
some sizes are sold out we im
mediately reduce the price.
Our regular price saves you
money. .' It is easily possible, by
