Tentative draft of the legislative program of the Nebraska Farm Bu reau Federation has been made by the legisjative committee. During the next few weeks the twenty-one points in the program will be pre sented at meetings of county and precinct officials of the Farm Bureau to be followed by precinct meetings at which the members themselves will be asked to discuss each pro posal point by point. The majority expression on each subject at these precinct meetings will be the controlling factor on each point as to whether or not it will be a part of the program. When the program is finally com pleted it will be the expressed opin ion of the Nebraska Farm Bureau di rect from the individual members a3 to what the next legislature should do for the farmers of this state. The program will be in the hands of the people in plenty of time that they, if they wish, may learn where their legislative candidates stand on the subject. The tentative program calls for four constitutional amendments to be initiated by the legislature, to permit the enactment of a rural real estate credit law, smilar to. the fed eral land bank law; permit classifi cation of tangible property for taxa tion; permit the legislature by a two-thirds vote to change the salar ies of state officials during any term and to provide for taxation of mu nicipal property where used as a pub lic utility and the taxation of bonds and securities of the various govern mental subdivisions now exempt. Along the lines of direct legisla tive action the Farm Bureau asks for a state income tax law; to enable. or ganization of a farmers' Jnance cor poration; compel public utilities to pay taxes on their rate making val ue; mandatory publication of tax returns,- township boards of equaliza tion"; -repeal Smith mortgage law; to seek aid of other states In termina tion of federal aid road policy; larg er portion of automobile license mon ey to be left at disposal of county boards; tax sufficient to pay trans portation of school children attend ing school while remaining at home; continuation of appropriation for in demnities in eradication of bovine tuberculosis and agricultural exten sion and if - necessary, amendments to the present law to continue state operation of a hog cholera serum plant; state civil service law; state to. buy land sold for taxes; laws or constitutional amendments so that each county thru a' charter conven tion may formulate the kind of gov ernor it may want,1 leaving it option al to adopt the county manager form of government, or commission form; waterpower development by the state and simplification of: the work re quired to be taught in grade schools.

This is what one Plattsmouth young man is accused of doing and in fact the "charge is made that the aforesaid young man was discovered peacefully asleep by the members of his family, amid the feathered beauties. How this occurred is a long story that covers a great many adventures on the part of the victim from the time that he first quaffed the flow ing bowl of Nebraska's greatest pro duct corn; until the awakening. The exact circumstances that led to the youth seeking the hen house for a place of repose is veiled in deep mystery and in fact he does not know himself how it happened, which is proof that the corn has a kick com pared to which the mightiest efforts of a government mule availeth noth ing. It is safe to say, however, that it will not occur again and that in fu ture before starting out to enjoy the revelry of Bacchus the young man will see that the hen house is safely locked, so that entrance is made im possible and if he must have the so ciety of chickens it will be of the flapper variety. SPECIAL ELECTION TO SELECT A NEW REPRESENTATIVE Attorney General Rules This is the Proper Method May Nomi nate on July 18th. Lincoln. May 2C. With Congress man C. F. Reavis resignation an nounced as effective June 4th. the law makes it incumbent on Governor McKelvie to see that the vacancy is filled immediately by special election. .Voters of the First congressional district will vote on his successor, who will serve until the regularly elected congressman of this district takes office March 4. 1923. Attorney General Clarence A. Dav is is of the opinion that the governor will have to issue a special primary call to nominate "short term" candi dates, supplementing the general call for the July 18 primaries. Since the primary law does not provide any means of selection by convention or otherwise of nominees for this special election, it is assumed that the governor will have to let the primaries decide, and to save expense of a-special district primary, it is taken for : granted that the proposi tion will be submitted at the regular primaries. -; : , , ' The 'assumption is reasonable that the present party candidates for con grfess in the First district will seek the short term nomination, officials at the apitol believe. The .; special election, therefore, may become a weather vane to test party strength in Nebraska before the general election. LEGION DISCARDED POPPY AS OFFICIAL FLOWERLAST FALL National Convention Adopted Daisy in Its Stead 0'Connell Tells of Poppy Exploitation. Why the American Legion backs the sale of daisies and withholds it3 support from the poppy campaign is explained in this statement issued Friday by Adjutant Frank B. O'Con- nell of the Legion in Nebraska: "State headquarters of the Nebras ka American Legion has received several inquiries asking if the Legion endorses the sale of poppies or is in terested in such sale, as suggested in the newspapers recently. ' "Most emphatically we are not Our national convention last year adopted the daisy as the memorial flower of the world war. Certain or ganizations purporting to represent French children exploited our posts and the general public to such an ex tent that we threw the whole outfit over the transom and adopted van American flower. Even this year, after we had decided to use the daisy, high-salaried salesmen hounded us for weeks trying to unload their pop ples. "The Legion buys the daisies for a little over one cent each and sells them for a dime. Every bit of this profit goes to the care of disabled and decorating the graves of American dead. Over 100,000 of these daisies will be worn on Memorial day in Ne braska alone. They are being used by the thousands in the decorating or our graves here in the state and also in France. Our posts send do nations direct to' our Paris post and they take care of the graves over there. "For three years now the Legion has decorated every American grave in France and every world war veter an's grave in Nebraska, besides hun dreds of those of soldiers of other wars who are burled at these places, where there is no post of the G. A. R. or Spanish War Veterans." Why not take a course in Short hand this summer? Alma Waterman, 8th and Locust St. m29-2sw,6d .

Women are preparing to take a large part in government in this state, and to the end that this part may be taken intelligently the orga nization of women's voters leagues is going ahead in many counties of the state." That much was shown by reports made at the opening ses sion of the state meeting Thursday morning in Lincoln, in faculty hall at the state university. The council of the state League of Women Voters met at 10:30. Mrs. C. C. Ryan, of Grand Island, state president of the league, presided at the meeting which was largely de voted to routine business. The state treasurer and state secretary gave their reports and the president began her report. Mrs. Ryan reported a large num ber of leagues organized over the state since the last meeting and that a growing interest in the league and it3 work has been shown since the national convention. Many other women's organizations are lining up with the work of the league. Present at the opening session in the morning were leasue representa tives from Grand Island, Central City, Omaha. Hastings, Falls City and David City as well as numerous Lincoln members. Among the more prominent attendants, is Miss Gladys Pyle, national organizer, of Wash ington, D. C, In the afternoon the president's report was continued and Mrs. C. H. Dietrich, regional director of the league, gave a report on the nation al' convention in Baltimore. Miss Pyle, the national organizer, spoke on organization and membership work, and Miss Bertha Lutz, the Brazilian visitor, made an informal talk. A tea was given by the mem bers of the Lincoln league at Ellen Smith hall from 4 to 6 o'clock in honor of Miss Lutz. REAVIS TO RESIGN AS CONGRESSMAN FROMJST DISTRICT Will Assist Attorney General Daugh erty in Prosecuting Fraudists In His Fourth Term. Washington, May 25. Attorney General Daugherty will assume per sonal direction of the prosecution of war fraud cases, it was announced tonight at the department of justice. Associated with the attorney gen eral, the statement said, will be a number of . "distinguished lawyers from all parts of the country select ed for their especial fitness for the posts." Among these will be Representa tive C. Frank Reavis of Nebraska, who will resign his seat in congress in order to take up his work in June. Col. Henry W. Anderson, of Rich mond, Va., the announcement said, also would assist the attorney gen eral a3 well as former Representa tive Roscoe C. McCullough, of Can ton, Ohio, appointed recently by Mr. Daugherty to Investigate war can tonment cases. The attorney general said he was not willing to make the names of the other counsel public at this time. By assuming direction of the war fraud cases, Mr. Daugherty said he would be able to use in the prosecu tion the salary of $25,000 or $50,000 a year which otherwise would have to be paid to one special assistant attorney general under authority of congress, which "has placed no limi tation" on the salary to be paid this official. He decided, the statement said, "that the work probably would proceed more satisfactorily if he as sumed its direction." The assistants already selected, it was said, are "men whose incomes in private prac tice are probably five times as large as the amount which they will re ceive for the conspicuous service they will render to the government and the people." WATERBURY BANK IS 'TOUCHED UP' Waterbury, Neb., May 25.' The Waterbury State bank was robbed about 3 o'clock this morning. Tne robbers escaped with about $3,500 in cash and the contents of a large number of safety deposit boxes, the value of which is unknown. The robbers used explosives to ef fect an entrance to the steel safe which contained the cash. One of the heavy stockholders of the bank is W. S. Oilman, of Sioux City. Vernon G. Smith is cashier. The bank, which was established in 1901, is fully in sured. Waterbury is 25 miles west of Sioux City. . Several charges of nltro glycerine were exploded by the cracksmen In opening the safe in which the cash was kept and seventy-five safety de posits boxes contained In the vault, which were also rifled. Entrance of the vault was gained by cutting thru the steel plate around the lock with an acetylene torch. The skill with which the task was accomplished Is taken as prool that it was the work qf professional criminals. After cutting telephone and tele graph wire connections the bandits throught to have numbered five or six, are said to have sped out of town In a high powered automobile head ed toward Sioux City. "The bank's loss is completely cov ered by insurance," said Cashier V. G. Smith.

BOUND OVER TO DISTRICT COURT One of Trio Brought Here From Se betha, Kas., Concerning Car Theft Has a Hearing. From Saturday's Ialiy. Yesterday afternoon in the coun ty court Charles Norton was ar raigned before Judge Beeson on the information filed against the pris oner by County Attorney A. G. Cole, charging him with -having possessed concealed weapons contrary to the peace and dignity of the State of Ne braska. To the charge preferred the young man entered a plea of guilty and was accordingly bound over to the dis trict court for trial and bond fixed at $1,000, and in default of the bond the young man was remanded to the custody of Sheriff Quinton. Norton is one of the three brought here from Kansas, who were held in connection with the taking of the car of Jack Neitzel from this city last Friday night and which was later found by the authorities at Se betha, Kansas, and the three men held in connection with it. After an investigation of the case here it was decided that rather than have the county forced to stand the costs of a trial in the district court that would have been necessary to secure the conviction of the one man in the case it would serve the ends of justice as well to place the con cealed weapon charge on him and which would avoid the necessity of a long trial as the prisoner resolute ly declared his innocence of the charge of taking the car, and his stand would have necessitated the trying of the case before a Jury and as Mr. Norton was willing to plead guilty to the concealed weapon charge this was preferred. Just what will be the fate of the two younger members of the trio has not been determined, but owing to their youth and the fact that they are novices in the crook game they probably will escape much easier, as their part in the affair was not as serious as- that of their older com panion.
