FOR ARMSEMBARGO
FOREIGN STEEL ORDERS COST
NEBRASKA $900,000.
PUBLICITY BUREAU FOR STATE
*
Items of General Interest Gathered
from Reliable Sources Around

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
While the gigantic steel industries
of the east have been making huge
returns out of Europe's misery in the
sale of guns and bullets. Nebraska tax
payers have gone down into their
pockets for about $900,000 more for
bridge steel than they would have had
to pay, had an embargo been estab
lished with the first bloodshed.
State Engineer George Johnson em
phasizes the need of an arms embargo,
in a letter sent to Senator Hitchcock.
He doesn't enter into a technical in
ternational discussion of the situation
but shows conclusively that the rise

president of Nebraska Pure Grain arid
Seed Growers' association.
in steel, occasioned by the scamper
of the steel trust to reap returns while
the killing is good in Europe, has cost
Nebraska taxpayers $900,000 more than
it should have—and there's no know
ing how much more it will cost, if an
embarge is not put on.
Millions in Nebraska Banks.
“It is no wonder,” says a bulletin
just issued by the Nebraska state
board of agriculture, edited by Secre
tary W. B. Mellor, “that Nebraska
citizens have $240,000,000 deposited in
the banks.”
The bulletin gives the following sta
tistics of 1915 agricultural products to
show why the people of this state
are prosperous:

The production of the rural popula
tion of this state is $525 for every
man. woman and child who lives in
Nebraska and the total money on de
posit in Nebraska banks is $240,000,
000, according to the letter of Secre
tary Mellor of the state agricultural
board to a meeting of state boosters
at Hastings. Mr. Mellor points out the
need of a state publicity bureau and
urges upon the boosters the necessity
of seeing that such an institution is
provided for at the next session of
the state legislature. He points out
the wonderful showing that has been
made under cramped conditions and
insists that a liberal investment along
this line would be returned to the peo
ple many times over in the course of
the next few years.
The comptroller of New York state
has written urging Nebraska officials
to ask their representatives in con
gress to vote against«. bill imposing a
national tax on inheritances. The let
ter was turned over to State Auditor
Smith, blit he has taken no further
steps. The writer of the letter pro
poses that the states be allowed to tax
inheritances. He fears the govern
ment will take over that privilege and
shut New York state out of an income
of $11,000,000 derived from this source.
Nebraska has an inheritance lax
which goes to county road funds.
Through Governor Morehead Ezra
Meeker of Oregon trail fame has re
quested Secretary Paine of the histori
cal society and the Oregon trail com
mission for a description of all the
monuments erected along the trail in
Nebraska. The information will be
used in compiling a map to be issued
by the national highway association.
Meeker is now in Washington looking
after the work. Meeker in 1952 crossed
the country to the Pacific coast Fifty
years later he made a trip from the
west coast to Washington, D. C., in an
old fashioned pioneer wagon.
In reversing and remanding a $25,
000 libel suit instituted by Judge Lee
Estelle against an Omaha daily news
paper, the supreme court by a majority
vote, holds that opinions expressed
publicly in regard to candidate’s fitness
tor office need not be treated as state
ment of absolute facts, that a com
munication published and signed by
the writer was a communication of
qualified privilege. Judge Sedgwick
wrote the majority opinion of the
court. It is concurred in by Judges
Fawcett, Letton and Rose. Chief Jus
j tice Morrissey, Judges Barnes • and
Hamer dissent.

Time Deposits in Nebraska Banks
What has been rumored for some
lime, but never definitely stated from
any official source, now receives con
firmation in a report filed by State Ac
countant DeFrance showing that State
Treasurer Hall has $19,000 of state
money placed as time deposits in cer
tain banks of Nebraska, on which 1
and 5 per cent interst isb eing drawn.
The banks and the amounts carried by
them, respectively, are:
Elba—Farmers State Bank, $5,000;
Elba State bank, $5,000.
Carroll—Citizens’ tSate bank, $4,000.
Leigh—Leigh State bank. ^5,000.
Depository banks generally are pay
ing the state only 3 per cent interest
on the money furnished them by the
1 state treasurer. State Accountant De
France thinks it would be a good plan
to put out more public funds as time
; deposits, for the sake of the higher in
terest collected. He says this could be
■ dcfne just as well as not. because most
i of the banks holding regular deposits
j keep the money the year round.
But Two Mexican Veterans in State.
A roster of the veterans of the Mex
ican, civil and the Spanish-American
wars, issued by Secretary of State
Pool, under provisions of an act
of the last legislature, shows a total
of 4,609 civil war veterans, 1,230 Span
ish-American war veterans and two
veterans of the Mexican war living in
Nebraska. The names were furnished
by the counties to the secretary of
state and have been published in
pamphlet form. W. A. Rawley of
Palls City, company F, Third Min
nesota regiment, and Robert Wood of
Waterbury, Dixon county, Fourteenth
Ohio, are the two Mexican war vet
erans listed in the roster. It contains
the names of a few who served in
Indian wars and in the Sioux Indian
war.
W. E. Thorne, an elevator owner at
Bladen, reports to the railway com
mission that he has been unable to get
cars from the Burlington railroad to
ship grain. In consequence of this,
his elevator is full and he is unable to
buy from farmers. The lack of cars
for the grain traffic seems to be as
pronounced as it was five weeks ago.
The railway commission gets reports
twice a week from railroad station
agents, showing that the conditions
have not been recently bettered to any
extent. ___
Members of the Madison County
Farmers’ Association have just secured
a traveling library of 22 books from
the Nebraska Public Library Commis
sion and placed them in the office of
the county agricultural agent at Battle
Creek. These books may remain in
the possession of the association for
six months. The volumes were
chosen from a list selected by the
heads of the different departments of
the College of Agriculture. Any associ
ation in the state may secure a similar
library upon application to the Pub
lic Library Commission, State House.
A request from Tekamah for advice
as to the type of construction for
bridges within the municipal limits has
been received by State Engineer John
son. Mr. Johnson is frequently asked
by county boards to help out in bridge
matters, but this is the first time a
city has ever called upon him for such
assistance. Under the state road laws,
one-half of the road tax collected by
counties on property situated within a
municipality is turned back to the mu
nicipal treasury to be expended on its
streets.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY—TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.
To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out. just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day. drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous day’s indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate will cost very little at your drug
gist or general store, but is suflici‘-nt
to demonstrate that just as soap and
hot water cleanses, sweetens and . ,
freshens the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the blood
and internal organs. Those who aro
subject to constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also .
those whose skin is sallow and com- >
plexion pallid, are assured that one
week of inside-bathing will have them
both looking and feeling better in ev
ery way.—Adv.

GAS, DYSPEPSIA
“Pape’s Diapepsin” settles sour,
gassy stomachs in five
minutes—Time it!
You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad—or an uncertain
one—or a harmful one—your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs,
its millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home—keep it handy—get a large
fifty-cent case from any dealer and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn’t agree with them; if
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa
tions of acid and undigested food—
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin (
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanishes. Its prompt
ness, certainty and ease in overcoming
the worst stomach disorders is a reve
lation to those who try it.—Adv.
Real Harm in Smoking.
Scientists at the Paris medical col
lege have found by a series of experi
ments that, as physiologists have long
isserted, tobacco smoke has an injuri
3us. effect on the heart, but that this
effect is not dependent on the amount
*f nicotine contained in the tobacco;
in fact, smoke frem the combustion of
materials other than tobacco appeared
to be about as harmful. The deleteri
ous effects are attributed to the mul
tiple products of combustion in the
smoke.
