R. 790. introduced by Governor Neville. This land is mostly held by small farmers, and the ques ti- nablity of title only arose within the la<t few weeks. The land had been sold by the state in the 80's and the 90s Imnd Commissioner Shumway raised the question of legality, holding to a technical interpretation of the law which f rbids the sale of saline lands except under certin conditions. The legislature adopted without dis sent a resolution petitioning Presi dent Wilson and congress to pass a law that will prohibit the manu facture sale and transportation of malt, spiritous vinous, ale iholic and ‘intoxicating liquors in the United Sta’es durtng the period of the war.” The spreading of straw, from stacks that ordinarily are burned over the fields during the winter resulted in saving many crops of wheat, and the depart meat of agriculture urges the general adoption of the idea. Kennard Claim Defeated Again The senate defeated a claim for 113.500 for T. P. Kennard. presented by T S. Allen. United States district attorney for Nebraska. Once the senate stood tied on the subject, the vote standing 15 to 16 on Sandall's motion to reject. Then on Sawyer’s motion to allow the claim it was de feated by a vote of 14 ayes to 17 nays. Sawyer or Lancaster cham pioued the claim and Sandall of York opposed it and it was by the lat ter’s strenuous efforts in reviewing the history of the claim 11 FAIRY TALE A short story that will be of Inter est to all readers of the Northwestern, and especially the little folks.

'I am strong and pow erful and can do just exactly as I like.' “ ‘We’ll see about that,' said the Clothes-Pins. “ ‘You can't see,' roared the Wind. He blew around and laughed for all he was worth. “ ‘The very idea.’ he said, ‘of Clothes Pins talking about what they can see. They can't see a thing. They must have eyes if they want to see, and ail the world knows they can't see.’ “Now the Clothes-Pins heard what the Wind was saying—or at least they somehow understood. “They held on to the clothes-line for all they were worth, and when the wind blew they held on all the tighter. “The clothes-line entered the game and tried to keep all the clothes on the line from blowing too much. But it was hard work, for the wind was in deed strong. “The Clothes-Pins were working though. They would not give the wind a chance, but held on to the line and kept the clothes from blowing away. “Now the Fairies saw that the Clothes-Pins were doing their work so well that they thought they would like to help them. “They came flying along, and how they laughed when they saw Mr. Wind getting angry. For Mr. North Wind is such a funny old soul when he is angry. He gets so blustery and howls with rage. “The Fairies all perched on the line and began to sing: “ ‘Helgh-ho. heigh-ho. “ ‘Let the North Wind blow, “ ‘The Clothes-Pins and we. “ ‘Will certainly set-. “ ‘That the clothes will stay here. “ ‘The day’s nice and clear. “ 'The sun's gciod and strong, “ 'And the wind is quite wrong, “ To try such a trick, “ 'But the Clothes-Pins will stick. “The Clothes-Pins did stick to the line and the Fairies helped them, sing ing all tht* time. The Wind kept on blowing and tried his hardest to get the better of the Fairies, but he had no luck at nil. He was in a mischievous mood and was really quite naughty, so the Fairies punished him by not giving him his way. “It was not so very long before the clothes were quite dry, for the sun Fairies All Perched on the Line. had worked hard, and the Clothes Pins had certainly beaten the old North Wind. “ ’Well,’ laughed the Fairies, ‘we wouldn’t let your prank succeed, would we?' “ ‘No!’ growled the North Wind. ‘I could have had such fun blowing all tiiiise clothes this way and that. It's not nearly so much fun to blow papers as it is to blow clothes.’ “ ‘It all depends on the way you feel. North Wind,’ said the Fairies. “The Wind suddenly became very quiet, for he was tired out. People said that the wind had died down so sud denly, but the Fairies knew the reason why. “After a little while, though, they said: “ ‘Now, old North Wind, won't you blow for a good purpose? The clothes are all safe in the house and we'd like you to blow so we can have a mid night sail on the Woodland Pond. The ice has gone and we can bring out our fine sailboats.’ “The North Wind thought about it a minute. He had been pretty angry with the Fairie3 for spoiling his game. Put then he knew they were right, so after a little he said: “Yes. I will give y>.a the wind.' “Soon after that the wind began to alow up again, and the people said: 'The wind is up once more, and for a 'Ptle while there was no wind at all.’ “He gave the Fairies a fine breeze for the midnight sailing party, and when they thanked him he said: ‘I had to make up for beitg so naughty; it’s my nature to blow’ and it’s hard not to tear everything to pieces at times.’” Why Ruth Cried. “Why, Ruth,” said a mother to her little daughter, who was crying, “what are you crying about?” “Cause,” sobbed the little miss. “I started to make dolly a bonnet and it corned out bloomers.” Wh&fcVitell Dressed Vibmeri Will Wea: Just as we conclude that there Is nothing new that can possibly happen to summer blouses, along conies an attractive surprise ami we are forced to concede that another beautiful nov elty has made its appearance. There are Inexhaustible reservoirs of ideas, it seems, that designers know how to draw upon to provide u> with that va riety which is the spice of life and blouses. Here is a new. midsummer model, made of tine cotton voile, embellished granted. Millinery for her maids is ! almost the most important item that ! the bride has to consider, outside the details of her own costuming. The airy, flower-trimmed and softly feminine styles for midsummer show many developments that promise charming headdresses for the brides maid. The choice is not confined to ] hats, hut their charm is so powerful that chances are in their favor. Hair braid and Tuscan, crepe georgv'te and mnlines. net and flowers go to make ! UTMOST REFINEMENT IN SUMMER BLOUSE. with French tucks. It is cut after the usual manner of blouses, its seams are hemstitched, sleeves plain and roomy and, so far. all the details of its con struction are all like tried old friends with whom we have long been famil iar. But just at this point the creator of this blouse thought of adding an organdie collar and cuffs made of a fine organdie edging, and of shaping the collar in a new way. Furthermore, the dainty embroidered edge of the organdie is lifted into prominence by a narrow border of black organdie. The collar is high at the back and mils at the front, the wiry texture of the material making this pretty adjust ment to the neck possible. The cuffs are simply lengths of the embroidered organdie, turned back and fastened at the top with a single pearl button. The means by which its maker arrived at such good ends in this blouse are the simplest. But the touch of sheer black in collar and cuffs is original and fine up the loveliest of midsummer mil- j liuery. There never was a summer when bridesmaids could be more en chantingly dressed. In the group of hats shown in the picture one. of hair braid, is a famil iar, picturesque type that never fails to captivate everyone. It is of the laciest amethyst braid, l>ound with satin and with ties of amethyst col ored velvet ribbon and a wreath of pink roses against the under brim at the side and back. Would be pretty in any of the light colors. A hat with braid crown and double flounce of plaited crepe is very new and an ideal for the bridesmaids' wear. It has two bands of narrow ribbon about the crown, tied in a bow at the front where a cluster of small flowers is posed. Imagine it in any color that you may choose for a wed ding—it is sure to be pretty. The lovely hat of sand-colored crepe with a fall of scalloped crepe about ENCHANTING BRIDAL M'LLINERY. and the whole effect is one of utmost refinement. Among other new models there are noted several with collars shaped and put on in the same way ns that shown in the picture. Often they are filet lace and sheer embroidery combined and sometimes of two laces. They are usually smaller. The high roll at the back and the partially closed but cool looking throat opening is a piece of fine management. Already June weddings are engaging the attention of those who must think out all the details of several bridal pageants, for there are changing fash ions to be considered. Every bride cherishes the hope that her wedding procession may be impressive and beautiful and present one or two new elements of interest at least. And there are experts who recognize her the brim is an unusual model. The crown is trimmed with clusters of vel vet raisins on their stems. Street Suits Longer. The best tailor-mades are a little longer than they used to be a few months ago, but the dancing gowns— the very few that are required—are rather shorter, if anything, which is not a step in the direction of grace. Sleeves are increasing in length, de scending often to the knuckle, conse quently getting rather in the way of the wearer. Some of the prettiest thin sleeves of lace, chiffon and mousseline err rather on the side of being too short, that is, they come far beyond T ! PAIN?

In our climate, with its sudden changes of temperature, rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day. it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, many deaths resulting from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept in the house, and a few doses taken in time, will possibly prevent a severe ill ness, a doctor's bill, and perhaps death. For fifty years this has been a very successful remedy for coughs, colds, throat or lung troubles. It induces a good night's sleep with easy expec toration in the morning.
