who. born in Germany, proclaimed
himself In this crisis a whole-hearted
American citizen, loyal to the presi
dent and pledged to uphold him in
(his war to overthrow military abso
lution on the continent of Kurope. and
Biake democracy safe throughout the
world.
The chief note In the speeches was
(hat our public servants must lay
aside partisan politics and support the
presidents program, as outlined in
his great war message of April !d.
Life-long republicans, who had op
posed President Wilson up to the time
gist message was delivered, were
found among his enthusiastic sup
porters at this time: and democrats
who have followed him from the lie
ginning, expressed renewed confident
In his wise leadership.
Declaration of Principles.
The meeting adopted this declara
tlon of principles, and wired it to th<
president and to the members of con
gross:
"We express to President Wilson out
profound faith in the masterly states
manship embodied in his great mes
sage to congress, in which he voicec
the purposes of this people, and its
attitude towards the issues of th(
world war. We pledge him our sup
port, and declare that along the trai
which he has blazed, the Amerieai
people are ready to follow him to the
end.
"We believe in the new alignment.—
that during the war there shall he
neither in congress nor out, any re
publicans nor any democrats, but onli
two new parties.—American patriots
on the one hand, supporting the gov
ernment. and on the other hand, al
those who from any motive see fit t<
oppose it.
We hold that this war should hi
carried on by the national government
and all functions controlled by fed
eral agencies, to the end that then
(hall he efficient co-ordination of thi
resources of the country, and nt
divided counsels, to distract or weak
en.
"We declare in favor of the admin
istration army bill, and we approvi
the principle of selective draft, basei
on universal liability to service, no
alone because it is urged by the presi
dent and his advisers, but also becausi
it is right.
"We invite the co-operation of al
citizens of Nebraska and we urge then
to join with us in extending the mein
bership of this league, so that the loya
sentiments of the people of this stab
may have due expression.
"We call upon the friends of the re
public in eac h state of the Union, b
organize patriotic leagues, and to en
rol the friends of the president's pro
gram in state-wide organizations, tha
will mobilize public opinion to tb
■upport of all needed war measures.”
WOULD LOAN SEED TO FARMERS
A practical way for the governmen
to stimulate the planting of increasei
tops this year, without great ex
pense to the United States, has beei
devised by Congressman Charles H
Dillon of South Dakota. Mr. Dillon ha
introduced a bill appropriating $10
min.000 to enable the agricultural de
parment to distribute seed wheat
mm and potatoes to farmers at mat
ket prices, upon condition that a lik
number of bushels shall be returnee
i to the government when the crop i
harvested. The seed returned is to b
sold by the department and the pre
reeds deposited in the Treasury t
effset the original appropriation. Ml
Dillon has limited the benefits of hi
bill to farmers who agree to plant a
least 20 acres in wheat or corn, o
five acres in potatoes.
CHOLERA MORBUS.
This is a very painful and dangerou
■ . -thise. In almost every nighborhoo
someone has died from it before med
< ine could be obtained or a physicia
summoned. The right way is to hav
| a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic an
i Diarrhoea Remedy in the house so a
to be prepared for it. Mrs. Charle
! Knyeart. Huntington, Ind., writes
! “During the summer of 1911 two of m
j children were taken sick with choler
[ morbus. I used Chamberlain's Coli
and Diarrhoea Remedy and it gav
i them immediate relief.”

j POULTRY PRODUCTION PAYS.
. High prices that are certain to con
tinue cannot fail to make poultry pro
- duction profitable, says the head o
> the poultry department at the Uni
versity Farm, who is urging as a wai
' measure that poultry production be in
, creased.
“Last year, poultry and eggs wen
so high that many cold storage plants
chose to wait for a slump, but the
t slump did not come,” says he. “The
I result was a shortage of nearly 21
per cent of storage eggs held for the
, 1916-17 season. This year looks stil
more promising. Both patriotism anc
, profit should stimulate production
True, grain is high priced. But eggs
have increased in price accordingly
and there is every prospect that il
will continue to be highly profitable
, to produce them.”

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
June 5, 1917.—Cattle receipts were
very moderate for the opening of the
week, only about 5,(XK) head, and both
packers and shippers had good orders
to fill. The market ruled active with
prices anywhere from sttaidy on the
general run of beef to u dime higher
on choice grades of all weights.
Strictly choice heavy beeves brought
$13.30 end choice yearlings $12.50.
Cows and heifers were steady to

or about 15@20c lower than a week
ago.
Very Uneven Market in Sheep.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
around 5.500 head and considering the
fact that they had very wet fleeces
they sold at very close to steady fig

PARK ■OPENING“TODAY
Washington, May 30.—Recent legis
I lation which authorizes enlistments
in the U. S. marine corps for the
; period of the war only, coupled with
the fact that the marines will form a
I part of the first and succeeding over
i seas contingents, has done more in
• the recent stimulation of recruiting
[ for these “Soldiers of the Sea” than
any other factors, say marine corps
officials here, it is thought that many
[ young men who would not ordinarily
select a military career as a business
but who would lay aside present fi
nancial and personal gain for love of
country and future benefit, take to
enlistments “for the war only,” and
this type are generally eager for quick
action.

THINK.
There’s plenty of room in the head of
each human
To suit a good, workable outfit of
brains,
But yet the world suffers from thous
ands of duffers
Who don’t know enough to come in
when it rains.
So, when they talk plainly or grumble
profanely
And say that Success is a treacher
ous minx.
Just step up behind them and gently
remind them
There's room at the top for the
fellow who thinks.
There is an insistent and growing
demand all over the country for gov
ernment regulation of the price of all
foodstuffs. That demand calls for a
law that will in every way pro
tcet the farmer or producer, and
a maximum price at which products
may be retailed. In this manner the
producer will be encouraged to great
er efforts, the consumer w-ill be pro
tected against extoration, and the
price juggling middle men and speeulat
ing baby robbers will be put out of
business. This action can not come
any too soon to suit either the pro
ducer, the retailer or the consumer.
A few United States senators and
congressmen announce their intention
to enlist in the navy or the marine
corps. This is interesting and com
mendable. It would, however, be more
interesting and more commendable if
they were to enlist in the army and
go to the trenches, where shells will
be thicker and death more frequent
But as a sound and patriotic propo
sition, their place is right in congress,
where they can be of greater benefit
to their country.
WATCH THE LICE
On chicks. These parasites sap the
very life blood out of them. Dust the \
hen at night with B. A. Thomas’ Louse
Killer and your troubles are ended, i
It also kills bugs on cucumber, toma
to, and squash vines. We sell it to
you and if it does not make good, we
will.—J. J. Slominski, Loup City, Neb.
The government will avoid a lot of
future trouble if it clamps the price
regulation lid onto every article of
home consumption. The farmer, the
manufacturer and the laborer should
be guaranteed a reasonable and just
price for his toil, the consumer should
be amply protected against gouging,
and the speculator and price booster
should be kicked off the map.
