A Serious Condition in Overalls!
There is no doubt about this, and it isn't a question
of price that confronts every merchant, but a question of
where can I buy. You see any reason for this? Yes
there is: One manufacturer with whom we placed our
orders advised he would be able to ship just 50 due
to the government having placed orders for five million
yards of denims with the mills from whom we bought
supplies. In spite of this shortage we offer you for your
immediate purchase:-

THE NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
- OPERATIONS IN NEBRASKA
Alvo. Nebr., April 20, 191S.
To the Editor :-
The Non-partisan articles that aie
now published in our daily press sent
i from non-partisan league offices at
St. Paul, signed "Non-partisan
League" by W. W. Liggett, of St.
Paul, trying to defend Townley,
President of the League, and to cov
er up their disloyal work, and pluck
Nebraska farmers of $16.00 a piece
should never be published in cur
daily papers.
They state that the farmers of
North Dakota have lost money by a
dockage system in their state; also
that there are more cars of No. 1
wheat shipped from terminal elevat
ors than received; that the terminal
elevators buy wheat for No. 2 aud
ship it out for No. 1; the facts are
wheat in Minnesota and in eastern
Dakota whfre rain fall is normal
bleaches in the shock and fal's be
low the test required for No. 1
wheat. The terminal elevator and
mills also buy wheat the same time
from the dry region of the Dp.kotas
and Montana that is hard and dry
and tests more than is required for
No. 1 wheat and by mixing they can
get out a large per cent of No. 1
wheat. The same is true in Nebras
ka. The terminal elevator at Omaha
or Kansas City buys our eastern Ne
braska wheat where rain fall is nor
mal and it conies from the shock
testing 57 and 58 lbs. and grades No.
3. Our mills and eleva'Srs at the
same time buy wiicat from western
Nebraska that is hard and dry, and
tests from fiO to 63 lbs. By raixi.ig
the two and cleaning it they make it
test 60 lbs. grades No. 1 and No. 2
This enables them to pay more and
they do pay more for our wheat, and
especially the low grades than they
could if they had to grind each sep
arately and be compelled to make a
low grade of flour out of the low
grade wheat. In a small way, we do
the same thing at our country eWat
tors. We mix what we get and grade
it up. The difference In the dock
age system, docking spring wheat in
the north that is full of weed seeds
by taking off 2 lbs. to the bushel for
weed seeds or from 2 to 5 cents per
bushel is nothing to the farmer?. The
net price received is just the same.
We don't dock wheat in pounds at
countrv elevators in Nebraska: it
don't contain foul seed to any great
extent like northern whtat. Our
Kansas and .Nebraska winter wheat
covers the ground early and smoth
ers the weeds.
We are now under IT. S. Govern
ment inspection at all markets in
the United States, and have been
since Jul1, and there is not a word
of truth in any of these non-partisan
.articles in regard to the grad'ng of
grain in either Nebraska or Dakota.
Our grain is all graded at all termi
nal markets by disinterested govern
ment inspectors. Those non-partisan
articles are all camouflage to cover
up their tracks. They say they want
to improve market conditions for
wheat. Was it market conditions for
wheat they were adjusting whon
they sent lobbyists to the special
session of our legislature to kill the
Sedition Bill and the Potash Bill?
Was to improve the market condi
tions for wheat when they got a
member of the non-partisan league
who was also a member of the legis
lature to rise in his seat, and offer
free transportation to the entire leg
islature in automobiles (that would
have cost hundreds of dollars) to a
distant county to the town of Wahoo
to attend a disloyal meeting that
they hoped to hold in Wahoo. but
were prohibited from so doirg by
the loyal people of Saunders County.
(Only four member went and the
leader fooled three of those into go
ing by his deception.)
The Non-partisan league was the
only party that fought the Sedition
B4II, all other parties vere loyal,
and did not fear the Sedition Bill.
The Non-partisan workers are com
posed of two classes, the officers and
men like Evans and Wood paid
agents, draw salaries and commis
sions. The other workers aie re
tired farmers who are promised the
office of Governor. Uniled States
Senator, etc., and are deceived into
working for the league. Their craze
for office makes them throw their
loyalty to the winds. We thank the
lord that there nre only two promi
nent farmers of this class in the State
of Nebraska.
During the Civil war, the northern
branch of the Democratic party re
mained loyal; the Republican party
was loyal, and in order to have a
party to work with, southern spies
and disloyal men in the north organ
ized a Copper-head party called the
Knights of the Golden Circle.
In the present war, the foreign
spies know that the Democratic
party would remain loyal; they knew
the Republican party would he loyal,
so in 1915, one year after the present
war commenced, disloyal men a.d
j foreign spies floated the non-partisan
lcague,
In the wheat districts of the
North Dakota, they organized the
same kind of a party under a differ

Argentine and also in Russia. They
want to discourage the farmer in re
gard to raising wheat. They pre
tend to be the farmers friend, while
the cold facts are they are the farm
ers deadliest enemy. What more
evidence can the Nebraska farmers
want against the non-partisan
league. The United States Govern
ment officials investigated them and
found them disloyal, and arrested
their leaders, some of them are now
out under bonds. The state officials
of Minnesota investigated them and
found them guilty. Townley, the
president of the league, admitted at
a hearing that he helped organize
the peoples Council that Gov. Lowd
en of Illinois had to call out the
troops to suppress. Our 11 members
of the Council of Defense, in Ne
braska, investigated them, and con
demned them. The Farmers Union
officers of Nebraska investigated
their workings, and refused to en
dorse them. Mr. Shorthill. who is
the head officer of a line of farmers
elevators in Nebraska, condemns
them. Judge Slama of Wahoo, one
of the most patriotic men in this
state, investigated them and -found
hem guilty. They have two sources
from which they may get money to
operate with, the $16.00 a head they
pluck from Nebraska farmers, and
what they may receive from foreign
spies. JOHN MURTEY.
LOUISVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PAND.
From Monday's Dailj.
The people of Plattsmouth and the
management of the Red Cross Fair,
should have a warm spot in their
hearts for the High School band of
Louisville, for their portion in the
making of the fair a success. At
their own expense they came down to
"Plattsmouth and' played, the special
numbers which everybody emjoyed
and marched in the parade. AH tiit
was done to bear their expenses was
that they were given their supper.
They hired their transportation, and
came with a good will and encour
aging disposition. This looks good
to us, in the matter of their work lor
the cause, it being unselfish, and
showing they wanted to serve.
FALLS AND BREAKS HIP.
From Monday's Dally.
Yesterday morning while L. II.
Kearnes was out on the back porch
of his home on north Eighth street,
he slipped and fell, breaking his hip
bone, which added to the matter of
his having been very sick before
making his condition very grave. Mr.
Kearnes whose health has not ben
good for some time has been very
patient in his suffering and has born
the "pain of his sickness herotically,
but this added suffering will make it
even more difficult to bear.
PLAYED GOOD BALL YESTERDAY
From Monday's Daily.
Charles Gradoville at the game
yesterday played good ball, in ibe
position of catcher. We have had a
good catcher heretofore in Mr. Her
old, but he said with the limited
number of players, it would be neces
sary to take some other place, and
asked Mr. Gradoville to take his
place as catcher. Charlie made some
extra good plays, and no one was dis
appointed in his work.
