Corn Prices Good
During the early portion of last
week the prices of corn even exceeded
the expectation of many who were
waiting for the price which they were
expecting to sell their corn, and as
it came so quickly, many waited for
further advance and thus lost the
opportunity of the dollar which they
had been waiting for. On Wednesday
the price was six cents below the
price late Monday, when the yellow
cereal was selling at $1.02. Many
took advantage of the high price.

Chairman
Chas. W. Bryan Is Principal Speaker
at State Convention; Platform
Adopted, Electors Chosen
Richard L. Metcalfe, nominee for
United States senator, told the demo
cratic state convention iu the Strand
theater, Omaha, Thursday afternoon
that he was expressing his personal
opinion when he said that Gilbert
M. Hitchcock is Nebraska's candidate
for consideration at the Houston con
vention, and that if the nomination
should come to the west, Mr. Hitch
cock would be the most available
candidate.
"It is not well for us to begin the
campaign with illusions," Mr. Met
calfe said. "The democratic nominee
for 1928 already has been chosen.
California last Tuesday settled that
question. His name is Alfred E.
Smith and he has won his spurs. Mr.
Hitchcock will receive Nebraska's
complimentary vote and then I hope
that the convention will give Mr.
Hitchock a second place. Smith and
Hitchcock what a team, my country
men." The convention approved the fol
lowing named eight electors:
Jacob North. Lincoln; Sophus
Neble, Omaha; Ben Saunders, Nor
folk; Dr. C. P. Fall, Beatrice; Ed
Lamb, Hastings; Fred Nye, Kearney;
Mrs. Maurice Gruenther, Omaha, and
Mrs. Jeanette McCarthy, Lincoln.
Bryan Talks.
Tom Allen was unanimously elect
ed chairman of the state central com
mittee, and two members from each
district were chosen to serve on the
committee.
Charles W. Bryan, who made the
closing speech of the convention,
stressed the fact that upon tw?
things, tax reduction and working
over of the state bank guaranty law
did the democrats build their hopes
for success in the state election.
"The people of Nebraska are be
ing punished for believing the state
ments made by their governor and
state officials two years ago," Bryan
asserted.
"During my administration three
years ago the state government was
reorganized and almost two-thirds of
all the employes working under the
governor were discharged and their
places abolished in the interest of
economy and efficiency. Through the
cut in salaries and expenses we made
a saving of one-third of the taxes
levied for state government expense.
Says Found Deficit.
"When I came into office, I found
a large deficit in the road depart
ment aa a rr3iilt of i n c ffi pien Cv and
the failure of the code law audio.
budget system to function. I report
ed the shortage to tlie republican
legislature. They denied it existed
and refused to appropriate money to
pay contractors, whose unpaid bills
under the preceding administration,
amounted to about SS00.000. Not
withstanding the fact that the legis
lature denied there was a deficit, the
supreme court declared there was a
deficit, and ordered it paid. Since
then the legislature appropriated the
money to pay it.
The $4,500,000 we are paying as
a deficiency appropriation will not
pay the entire deficit of the repub
lican state officers, and the repub
lican legislature knew that it would
not pay the total deficit when it fixed
the amount at $4, 500, 000.
Demos Oppose Code.
"The increase in state taxes the
people are now paying is 10S per
cent, or, in other words, a little
more than double what it cost to
operate the state government under
the Bryan administration," Bryan
stated. "Every county treasurer will
tell those who ask that he is com
pelled to send 10S per tent more from
his county to pay their part of the
cost of this administration than they
sent to the state treasurer during
my administration.
The democrats are pledged to
abolish the code. We pledge the peo
ple to run trie state government as
economically as possible.
Turns to Bank Law.
"The next important issue in this
campaign is the protection of the
people's money deposited in state
i
banks, known as the-bank guaranty
lorjlaw. It was the democratic party
tnat gave tne people of Nebras.Ka a

Rabies is a

,".-w Yoik, May 4 One of the i: Re
dd afl iiiii . r- the sm.Vil b y and the
atn.y dog --is being: senai r.T. d by t!.
coin hand of tlie stalls' ician. F.'
health recoida show that, in receiir
years, rabies has become, lrom the
standpoint of mortality, almost
much a disease of ehildh-id as scar-1-

of deaths occurring anions; boys b -
t ween
ages of live and ten year.--,
the i-trav dog being the most
f r. -
! quent carrier of the disease.
; The facts arc gleaned from an
analysis of mortality from rabies in
the past seen years, made by sta
tisticians of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company. Planting out
that the best preventive measure
against rabhics is the stirct enforce-
.mint of the state or local regulations
: governing the genera! muzzling of

bull-tin states mfwyetagkiirdkq.tao
Luiletin say;;:
: "There is one aspect of rabies pre
vention to which attention has not
been gencnilly directed; i:::mtly. that
it is th- children- and more especial
ly tlie hoys -who are1 the chief vie-
. finis. The mortality fig tires for the
United States de;th vogist: at ion area,
covering a seven year period, show
Ihat six deaths out of every ten
Ifrem this di?e.so eccuried among
' ch.ihl reti unde r fifteen, and that seven
can of every f. n of t!i-st deaths, in
childhood, were of boys. .More deaths
occur between Jive and ten years than
in any other age group.
I "From tl e standpoint of mortal
ity, then, rabies is ::!;i't as much
a disease of childhood as scarlet,
fever. Not only are children, more
frequently than adults, attacked by
rabid di::.:s. but medical autborit i s

"The numbe'- of deaths, it is trii",
is not large, but the suffering ami

the occasional fits of furious mania

it is possibly the most dreaded of ell
