England Has New War Song.
j London.—All England is singing a
new war song. It is by Sir Frederic
Cowen and Harold Begie and makes
a strong appeal for enlistment in the
army. One of the verses of the song,
which is entitled “Fall In,” follows:
How will you fare, sonny, how will
you fare,
In the far-off winter night.
When you sit by the fire in an old
man's chair.
And your neighbors talk of the
fight?
Will you slink away, as it were from
a blow.
Tour old head shamed and bent?
Or say, "I was not with the first to go,
But I went, thank God, I went!”?
Prussia requires that lightning rods
on government buildings shall be in
i spected by an expert electrician at
| least once a year.
SOLDIER’S STORY OF BRITISH BAYONET CHARGE
London.—This grimly humorous
story of a British bayonet charge, in
which the Germans were stabbed in
the back, was related by a wounded
soldier just back from northern
France:
“They can stand fire, can those Ger
mans. We were picking them off like
winking, and still they came on.
“It seemed as if there was an un
limited number of those soldiers, for
they came, wave after wave.
"Then, when they got within shout
ing distance, we received the word to
charge. Our officer was a Sprinter,
but we were out of the trench and heeh
ing after him, all of us shouting.
"The Germans seemed struck. They
just stood and gaped as we came chas
ing down, their mouths wide open, as
if they were wondering what the blazes
we were up to.
"When we were within twenty or
thirty yards c>f them there was an al
teration. They knew then what we
wanted, and they Just threw down their
rifles, turned about and set the pace.
Some of them, as the.y went, chucked
off their packs, and a few even tried
to pull off their tunics!
‘‘But we had ’em! I never knew I
could run before, nor did the other
chaps, and we pinked the blighters in
the back by the score.
“When we got winded we came back
the same way, and had a look at the
dead and wounded. They were lying
, on their faces, bayoneted in the back.”
ONE UNI SPORT PUTS
FOOTBALL IS MONEY MAKER FOR j
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
Coed Showing Made by Cornhuskers
at the University of Nebraska
Last Year.
♦
Lincoln. — Football is the only
branch of inter-collegiate sport at the
University of Nebraska that pays its
own way. All other sports are
money-losers and could not be main
tained by the athletic department of
the Cornhusker institution were it
not for the profits gleaned frem the
gums of the gridiron. These are the j
salient facts which stand out in the i
annual financial report just filed by !
Treasurer T. A. Williams of the uni- j
versity athletic board, following an
audit by Prof. H. \V. Caldwell, chair- j
man of the finance committee.
The treasurer’s report is for the
year ending September 1, 1914. It
shows, in spite of the losses sustained
in all sports excepting football, that
Cornhusker athletics have flourished
and that the treasurer had a balance
on hand at the end of the year
amounting to $2,094.68. The total re
ceipts from all sources were $31,960.
93 and the total expenditures were
$29,289. Football receipts totalled $29,
866.25, the net profit from that branch
of sport being $8,355.97. Other sports
resulted in the following losses;
Track, $1,285.45; basketball, $231.30;
wrestling, $62.74; soccer, cross coun
try, tennis and inter-departmental
baseball, $170.53.
Corporations Fail to Pay Tax.
Between 500 and 600 corporations,
doing business in Nebraska, some or
ganized in this state and others else
where have not paid their state occu
pation tax for 1914, or the added
penalty for delinquency.
Within another month these corpo
rations will become liable to lose
their charters if the secretary of state
and the attorney general see fit to
bring suits.
The secretary of state has sent out
notices again to all delinquent cor
porations. Despite the failure of a
large number to pay. the corporation
tax law passed by the 1913 legislature
has brought in nearly J100.000 to the
state.
New Motor Car Schedule.
The Union Pacific railway has filed
with the railway commission a sched
ule on which the motor car ordered
placed on the branch line of that road
from Columbus to Spalding will run.
The car will leave Spalding at 4:30
In the morning, arriving at Columbus
at 7:30. Until the company publishes
its new train schedule on the main
line, local passenger No. 24 to Omaha,
which arrives in Columbus at 7:13,
will be held for the Spalding motor.
Returning to Spalding the motor will
leave Columbus at 7:10 in the after
noon and arrive at Spalding at 10 in
the evening. Service will begin Octo
ber 11.
Cattle Moving Lively.
The cattle movement on the Ne
braska railroads is now very heavy, it
began the middle of August and is
expected to reach into November. The
last of September and the first part of
October shipments are at their highest
point. Sheep from Wyoming are now
moving. A Burlington official stated
that the cattle shipments from the
sandhills were about 10 per cent
heavier than last year and from
other places about the same as in
1913. A heavier shipment of sheep
from Wyoming Is anticipated thi3
season.
Will Ask Legislature’s Aid.
Following the decision of the state
supreme court forbidding them from
practicing without a regularly grant
ed license from the state board of
health members of the chiropractic
profession of the state are said to
be preparing to submit a bill at the
next session of the legislature ask
ing recognition of their method of
healing. The matter was the sub
ject of a law introduced at the 1912
session, but the measure did not
make rapid progress.
State Treasurer’s Report.
The report of State Treasurer
George for the month ending Septem
ber 2ft. ehows a balance on hand in
the treasury of $632,357.97, as against
$684;905.56 the month previously. Ex
penditure amounted to $225,186.05
and receipts $202,638.46. Of the
amount $9,909.94 is cash on hand, and
$622,448.08 on deposit. Trust funds in
vested amount to $9,859,124.19.
Report on Paroled Men.
Secretary J. W. Shahan of the
State Board of Charities and Correc
tions has sent out letters to all par
ies having paroled convicts on their
hands and is beginning to receive r*
ports called for asking for the condi
tion and behavior of the paroled men.
In every case so far, with one excep
tion, the men are feeling well satis
fied and are doing well. The excep
tion is a young man-who seems to be
possessed of a roving disposition, and

More Anthrax Found.
Dr. Kigin. state veterinarian, has
returned from Douglas county where
he investigated a bunch of sixty-five
head of cattle north of Omaha. He dis
covered that some of the cattle were
suffering from anthrax, five of them
having already died and a sixth at
the point of death. About two years
ago the disease prevailed in the same
place, but by effective work the dis
ease was stamped out. Dr. Kigin be
lieves that he has the upper hand on
the cases this time and that there will
be no more trouble.

to a little chap who was taking home
some school books for study. One
was an arithmetic.
"Do you like arithmetic?" asked the
senator, sympathetically.
“Naw, I hate it," replied the boy.
“Put her there,” suggested Works,
offering his hand.

TOOK BISHOP" AT HIS WORD
Footman May Have Been Consider
ably Astonished But He Was
There to Obey Orders.
Bishop Brindle, the well-known En
glish clergyman, sometimes tells this
story against himself. Dining at Sir
Evelyn Wood’s he narrated the old
story of the small boy who, going to
a party, was instructed to refuse cake,
as he had not been very well. “But
suppose they ask me again, mummy?”
he said. “Oh, you must still say, ‘No,
thank you.’ ’’ “And if they ask me
again!” “Oh, they wouldn’t be so
rude as to do that. Now, it is time
you were otf.” The small boy re
turned home in tears. Asked what
had happened, he replied: “Well,
mummy, they asked me to have cake,
and I said, ‘No thank you'; and they
asked me again, and I said, ‘No, thank
you’; and then they asked me again,
and I said just like daddy says, ‘Take
the dam thing away—’ ”
At that moment a passing footman
caught the bishop’s last words, and
with a start swooped down on his
half-finished plate, and bore it away.
ECZEMA ON CHILD’S BODY
570 High St.. Oshkosh, Wis.—“When
about two months old my nephew had
sores break out on different parts of
his body. The trouble first began as
a rash which itched so at night some
one always held his hands, even while
sleeping, as at the least scratching it
would run together and form scabs.
His night-clothes had to have mittene
on them or the. scabs would be raw
and bleeding by morning. His cloth
ing or the least friction irritated the
trouble. His face and scalp were cov
ered. They called it eczema.
“We tried different treatments but
none cured him. At three years old
we commenced the use of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. It took nearly a
year to effect a complete cure and he
never had anything like it since.”
