JERRY SMITH, Wabash. m23-2tWd Killed the Bugs. Bugs, Lugs, thousands of the red bugs called many years ago, Harri son bugs, and with the cold weather that prevailed it would be thought that they were all frozen, but when Parker Otte sat in front of the store on a bench the bugs swarmed over him and going into the store he and Sherman li.irdaway entered into an c:ffensi.e and defensive act, and get ting a gallon cf kerosene, they sat urated the front of the store with the oil and Sherman with a broom began to demolish the hordes of pests and after a season of hard work they completed their battle and swept the remains into the street.

Political .avrttlng (Political a or Member legislature Most important in the welfare of every citizen is good laws and their enforcement. Legislators are chosen for the purpose of enacting laws and all should vote personally on. all bills, for or against them. I have been your representative during the last two sessions just past and I desire to return to the next session that I may see written into the Assembly rules a mandate compelling every member to per sonally vote for or against all bills and not skulk in the cloak rooms. I would have this rule enforced and an infraction punished by a heavy fine and the name of person not complying with same placed on dishonorable list. You have kept in touch with my work in the two former terms and know where I stand on all major bills and how I have stood as against wasteful squandering of the. Taxpayers' money. If you agree with my work and my record, I ask your co operation and .your support at the polls. Come, let, us work together! PRIMARIES TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1936 GEO. E.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Tangible evidence that the Con tinental Oil company's heavy use of newspaper space in its marketing ter ritory during 1935 was a sound ad vertising move is indicated in the figures of the company's annual re port for 1935 just issued. These show that the company in creased the volume of it3 general business as well as its profits, and that it enjoyed a notable gain in the sales of its patented "germ-pro cessed" motor oils. This product, which was especially stressed in the company's advertising, had an in crease in sales of over 14 per cent, In comparison with the figures for the previous year. Continental recently announced that it would again expend the larger part of its 1936 advertising appro priation for newspaper space. RETIRE MAJOR GENERAL Washington. Maj. Gen. Harry L.

(Political Advertising) Candidate for Unicameral Gives His Viewpoints Ernest Haning for Honesty, Korse Sense and No Foolin' in Government. TO THE VOTERS OF CASS AND SARPY COUNTIES: A3 a candidate for Representative for Cass and Sarpy counties, will say I am 54 years old and have farmed in southeast Nebraska for 30 years. I realize that J am unknown to a majority of the voters of my district, but believe honesty and principle are of more importance than personal ac quaintance. Not having been a former member cf the Legislature, I do not have to apologize for my former record. In politics, I am a Liberal Republican, fir " 4 ERNEST HANING but am opposed to hampering sound legislation thru political prejudice. Let us have a short and efficient V f - ' S J ' session by eliminating useless legis lation which is of no value to busi ness or society. I believe in financing old age pen sions by a general sales tax, which will operate on the buying capacity of the public in general, rather than upon the buyer of gasoline, as is done at present. There are not enough improved "farm - to - market" roads for the amount of gas tax collected in the state. Instead of paved race tracks, give us better roads in the rural communities. In short, let us have "Honesty, Horse Sense and No Foolin' in Gov ernment." ; ERNEST HANING. Backer of Lower Tax Hit by Hard Times Organizer of Support for a Cut in Tax Levy Fails to Sign Up J. P. Morgan. Washington. J. A. Arnold, who says he made the nation especially the Bronx tax conscious, told the senate lobby committee that hard times had descended upon the busi ness of soliciting funds for promoting a public liking for low taxes. Andrew W. Mellon helped his or ganization the American Taxpayers league to the extent of $1,000, and two or three du Ponts chipped in $10 apiece, but Arnold said he couldn't "get a rise" out of J. P. Morgan. Revenues have slumped from $200,000 a year to $45,000. The witness said his work did not involve lobbying. Use of that word distressed him deeply. He was en gaged, he insisted, in molding pub lic sentiment. He called the group a "pole cat committee," when Senator Schwellenbach (d., Wash.) suggest ed that he had a "sucker list." Meanwhile, new deal legal diffi culties loomed for the committee as the result of its practice of sub poenaeing telegrams. It was learned that suits of William Randolph Hearst to end such activities might e supplemented by injunction suits brought by three other publishers. The Western Union company, in an answer filed to the first Hearst suit, said the committee had "recall ed, revoked and canceled" the sub poena involved, and that therefore it had no intention to produce the telegram originally requested. Representative McSwain (d., S. C.) read a copy of a telegram given him by the committee. In It, Hearst sug gested a series of editorials calling for McSwain's impeachment to his chief Washington editorial writer, James T. Williams, jr. Hearst papers published another telegram from Hearst to Williams, saying of the first: "Whether accur ate or not, it contains some remarks about McSwain which a great many patriotic citizens will be disposed to endorse." Committee members expressed be lief that wealthy people and others who contributed to Arnold's organ ization got little or nothing in re turn for their money, while he stuck to a reiterated assertion that the "greatest suckers of all" were those who contributed to the democratic party. CARS CRASH NEAR NURSE Omaha. Charles Rohwer, 58 Douglas county farmer, and Buster Fox, Oakdale truck driver, couldn' have selected a much better place for their automobile-truck collision Thursday night. Their machines came together at an inn on the Dodge road, and the wreckage smashed a parked car belonging to Miss Rose mary Tuttle, an Omaha nurse who was inside conducting a first aid class. Miss Tuttle took charge of first aid treatment for the two men and Rohwer's 21 year old daughter, Lor raine, and accompanied them to a hospital in an ambulance. Rohwer suffered head injuries and bruises and Lorraine was cut and brrised. Fox was only slightly hurt. Two hog3 in Fox's truck were killed "when the truck upset. DANCE CASE UP TO COURT Hastings, Neb. District Judge Munday Friday afternoon took under advisement a hearing on a writ of error filed by Lib Phillips, amuse ment park operator, against Adams :ounty supervisors who declined to grant him a dance license last Aug ust. Attorneys were given 35 days to submit briefs.

County Attorney Nuss with drew from the case after he gave an opinion that the supervisors could not prohibit Sunday dancing while the state law allows it.

Leaders of labor from fif teen European countries, aroused by fears of another world conflagration, gathered here to demand peace under a threat of collective opposition to war. A total membership of 36 mil lions, was represented by the leaders. Two delegates from the German so cial democratic party were among the labor forces determined to combat war. A series of secret meetings of allied bodies prepared the stage for a Joint session Thursday. Despite the German representation, it was un derstood French socialist members have prepared a resolution condemn ing Germany for re-militarizing the Rhineland. Leaders were yet wary of disclos ing what measures would be used to enforce their demands, but did not deny they might be drastic. It has been pointed out that the powerful organizations represented could exert a tremendous pressure thru the threat of general strikes. Quick or Regular Lge.

Violation of the U. S. Steel corporation of a federal trade commission order that the con cern desist from the "Pittsburgh plus" system of fixing prices was charged by Chairman Vheeler (d., Mont.) of the senate interstate com merce committee and quickly denied by one of the corporation's vice pres idents. Reading the federal trade commis sion order of 1924 prohibiting use of the system by which Pittsburgh was the company's sole base point, Wheeler asked Robert Gregg, vice president in charge of sales: "In your opinion do you believe you are complying with that order?" "I do," Gregg replied. "I have to disagree with you," said Wheeler. Gregg added that after the order was issued the company filed with the commission a statement that it would obey. "That statement has been wholly lived up to," Gregg said.
