Omaha.—Congressmen from Ne
braska will be asked by the Nebraska
Fanners’ Co-operative Grain and Live
Stock association to do all in their
power to oppose the proposed em
bargo on grain. This was decided in
resolutions adopted by the association
before adjourning its three days’ ses
sion here last week.
The resolution declared that it
would be unfair and unjust for the
federal government to single out
grain and grain products upon which
to levy an embargo, when practically
all other necessities are being export
ed and have risen in price in propor
tion to the raise in grain. The asso
ciation also reaffirmed its opposition
to any increase in freight rates in
Nebraska until a physical valuation
of the Nebraska roads should clearly
show an advance in the rates to be
necessary. All co-operative local and
state organizations of farmers were
invited to join the association. The
right to peddle direct from cars on the
track was championed, and it was
held that this right should not be de
nied to any elevator company, co
operative purchase association, in
dividual, jobber, or retail firm. The
association resolved to push for fed
eral legislation giving the Interstate
Commerce commission power to force
the railroads to provide adequate car
equipment and to regulate the rules
of interchange of equipment.
They favor good roads, but want
dirt roads of the type already popu
lar in Nebraska, instead of stone
roads costing $10,000 to $20,000 per
mile, which the resolution says,
"Would impose an enormous burden
of expense, which would be never
ending.” They commended the exten
sion service of the University of Ne
braska College of Agriculture for the
work it had done in saving the farm
ers of northern Nebraska fully $250,
000 on their potato crop, by keeping
them posted on the market condition.
They pledged their support for a
larger appropriation next year for the
University of Nebraska College of
Agriculture for the purpose of study
ing and teaching the marketing of
farm products.

OFFICIAL RETURNS TABULATED

DEMOCRATS ABE IN CONTROL
President Wilson Received Largest
Vote Ever Given Presidential
Candidate in Nebraska.
Secretary of State Pool proved to
bo the best vote getter on the demo
cratic state ticket, according to the
complete official returns now com
pleted and tabulated in the office of
the state superintendent of all of the
ninety-three counties in the state.
According to these returns every
thing went democratic, the legislature
being so strongly of a democratic turn
of mind that the responsibility for
legislation will be solely with that
party this winter.
Following is the official vote:
Wilson .158,827
Hughes .117,771
Wilson’s majority .41,771
Neville for governor received the
second highest total at the election.
The poll shows:
Neville .143,461
Sutton .136,810
Neville’s majority.6,651
Hitchcock ran third, the vote on
United States senator being:
Hitchcock .143,082
Kennedy .131,359
Hitchcock’s majority .11.723
The vote received by President Wil
son is 20,000 larger than was ever
cast for any presidential candidate in
the history of the state. Roosevelt,
when he carried it by 87,000 in If 04,
received but 138,558 votes. Mr. 'Wil
son received in 1916 nearly 50,000
more votes than he did in 1912, while
the vote for Hughes was 10,000 less
than were cast for Taft and Roose
velt combined four years ago.
The official vote oi me suite coth
plete shows that the silent voter piled
up a majority of 41,066 for President ^
Wilson in Nebraska, yet there were ^
men of (apparently good Judgment who
before the election thought Hughes
might carry the state.
Food Commissioner C. E. Hannan’*
amendment was defeated by a major- •
ity of 14,778. The vote for thi* 'n»’
amendment was 91,215 and the vots
against 105,993.
That Nebraska will get at least one
more congressman in the 1920 reap
portionment, based on the census ©1
'that year, was indicated by the vote,
the largest cast in the state. The to
tal vote, 302,685, 43,000 greater than
in 1912, on the usual ratio of five to
one indicates a total population of 4
more than 1,500,000. This would en- *
title Nebraska to seven congressmen.
The vote cast on the prohibition
amendment was much less than that
registered for the five candidates for
president. This accounts for the fact
that the majority given the amend
ment was much less than the major
ity given Wilson. The majority for
the amendment was 29,442.

“Tell It Not Gath.”
“Tell It not In Gath” means “Don’t
let your enemies hear It.” Gath waa
famous as tho birthplace of the giant
Goliath. The quotation is from the
Second Book of Samuel, first chapter,
twentieth verse: “Tell it not in Gath,
publish it not in the streets of Aske
lon, les the daughters of the Philis
tines rejoice, lest the daughters of the
unclrcumcised triumph."
Most Precious Thing.
Sweet Is the destiny of all trades,
whether of the brows or of the mind.
God never allowed any man to do
nothing. How miserable is the condi
tion of those men which spend the
time as if it were givfcn them, and
not lent; as if hours were waste crea
tures and such as should never be ac
counted for; as if God would take this
for a good bill- of reckoning.—Bishp
Hall.
The Clever Woman.
When you feel genuinely ill at ease
with a clever woman, it is generally
because her celverness is artificial
Some women, however, are even clev
erer than this, for they can eonceai
their artificiality so well thot you ac
tually laugh with them over aomeoa*
else who is just as artificial as they
are.
Retribution ia Sure.
Those folks who like to gossip ass
sure also to be made the subject at
gossip. When a fellow lies about oth
ers he is sure to have the truth toM
about himself.
College Days Not Wasted.
“Has your college education been of
any practical value to you?” “You bet
it has! If It wasn’t for my experience
in track athletics I’d have to leave my
house five minutes earlier every morn
ing in order to catch the 7:58,” replied
the commuter.—Michigan Awgwan.
Bill Had Learned Something.
'1 understand old man Simpkins
artLs very much opposed to his daugh
ter marrying Bill Smith; called Bill a
I tool, and all that sort of thing."
*
"That’s very true, and before he had
been married six months Bill admit
ted the old man was right.”
Mechanics in Medicine.
The value of mechanics in midi
cine has been amply dmomstrated and
the science of healing is coming to re
gard with increasing favor the aid of
fered by mechanical devices. The
physician, in private practice, finds it
incumbent to meet the advance made
by institutions and the result is that
the office of the .modern physician is |
coming more and more to resemble a
machine shop, just as the hospitals
and sanitariums are being gradually
converted into health factories.
The Kind.
Willis—What kind of a t'-ne did you
have at Bump’s last evening?
Gillis—Very unintelligible. I could
n’t understand anything they said to
their baby or anything the phonogra; >
played or anything that my wife whh
pered to me behind their backs.—
Judge,
