DAMAGE NOT GREAT
The frost that swept over the state
last night following a day of cold
ness, has apparently done but little
f damage in this county as far as can
J be learned altho it will not be until
a few days that the full extent of the
ravages of the frost can "oe learned.
OVER
Here the temperature reached 32 at
the Dhrlinglon station and garden
stuff in the lowlands was damaged
' to some extent but to the fruit crop
the loss is rot thought to be heavy.
At the E. M. Pollard orchards at Xe
j hawka the temperature reached 28
! degrees but Mr. Pollard, the owner,
! docs not think the fruit was seriously
! injured. However, it will require
seme time to determine just to what
,' extent the buds were affected.

But You Can't Ride on the Paint!
Imitation diamonds ccn be mcde to look so real and sparkle so
brightly that it ii difficult to tell them from the genuine.
But try to sell one and you will find out its real worth in a flash.
Same with automobiles. Weaknesses of construction in a closed
car can be hici.n, ibr a time, with paint and varnish and fancy
fittings. But all is not quality that glitters.
You can't ride cn the paint. And when you place such a car in the
second hand market, you suffer a heavy depreciation because it
lacked reil intrinsic value at the outset. Use will never improve a
mediocre product.
The second hand floor is the melting pot for automobile values.
Cars are stripped cf artificial values and only inherent worth counts.
Motor car owners tell us that the trade-in value of any Studebaker
car at the end cf three cr fcur cr five years of useful life is greater than
or. any ether car tuilt today the percentage of depreciation is the
lowest.
No wonder the Studebaker Light-Six Sedan is the fastest selling
quality Sedan in the world!
The name Studebaker stands for quality, durability, comfort and
interrity.

Eryan Says Measure Designed to
Keep Republicans in Office
"Ship Without Eudder."
Lincoln, May 8. Governor Bryan
today vetoed the Mathers code bill,
House Roll 537. With what has been
called by people about the state
house who have seen it the most
I straightforward and masterly veto
message ever written by a governor
of the state attached, the bill was
sent to the office of the secretary of
state, Charley Pool, this morning,
there to rest permanently in the ar
chives of the state, dead forever.
The governor did not exactly use
the same form in killing the bill
which Mayor Jim Dahlman declared
he would use if he were elected gov
ernor, that is, he did not write in
large letters across the face of it,
"Nothing doing," but he did write a
large "Vetoed May 8, 1923, Charles
W. Bryan, governor," upon its last
pcige.
In the message accompanying it
the governor goes into the most com
plete and concise analysis of the
present code stuation that has yet
been made. His own plan, which he
. made the center of his campaign and
I which was turned flatly down by the
'republican majority in the legisla
j ture. the Mathers plan as contained
in the bill and the old code system
are concisely compared.
Briefly the governor declares the
republicans threw overboard the code
and all the principles of the code
which they had touted for the past
four years when they passed this bill
and then set up a most unworkable
form of government, without any
central responsibility, "a ship with
out a rudder," as he expresses it, and
kept their eyes on one thing only,
how to keep under republican con
trol the complete list of appointments
to state offices and jobs, thus main
taining nearly 400 republicans on
the state pay roll to foster a spirit
for another campaign.
