From the poor lodging houses or shabby tenements to which she flitted to avoid acquaint ances and tax collectors, she had been taken, a few weeks ago, to the rather pretentious hoiuu of her son, Col.

I1KE0 TO GUARDS GOVERNOR MOREHEAD AD DRESSED DOYS IN CAMP. Items of General Interest Gathered from Reliable Sources Around tho State House. Western Newcpaper Union News Service. "Thero Isn't a citizen In tho United States but who would rather sec our International differences settled In tomo other way than by war," de clared Governor John Morchcitd In nil address before more than 1,000 Ne braska troops assembled in tho big tiudltorium of thu fair grounds July 4. "Wo uro not too proud to fight, but wo prefer to light only as a Inst re sort. Thero flows within tho volts of you men seated hero today tho name red blood that flowed within the veins of our forefathers, nnd the same Bplrit of loyalty and patriotism that rulded them In tho years gone by hns jisplred you to abandon your plows In (ho field and forsake the pursuits of civil life, In defense of tho Hag wc love and of tho country we are prlvb leged to call our own." Speak Highly of N. N. G. Due to the somewhat modifying turn In events with regard to tho Mexican situation, the Nebraska guardsmen wero beginning to fear thnt they might be kept at Camp Morehead In definitely or that they might bo sent bome without seeing nctual service. This belief, held by many out In the state, was no doubt the cause, of hold ing back men who would have other wise Immediately enlisted. Neither Cuptaln Tttpes nor tho two colonels would make any dcfinlto statement ns to when this movement would occur other than thut it "would bo very soon." Captain Tupcs, who was chief ro curitlng officer of the Arizona Hough Riders, has taken a great Interest In the Nebraska regiments and lias ex pressed his hope that they will bo able to bo the first to reach the bor der complete, Just as the Hough Hid era were In 1S98. Although militia from several states havo started Bouth, thero is no reason why Nebras ka should not be tho first state to get her full quota of militiamen to Gen eral Funston. Speaking enthusiastically about the two Nebraska regiments, Captain Tupes said that men of the state should be proud to servo under two such men as Colonel Ebcrly nnd Colo nel Paul. He also spoke highly of tho earnest, purposeful type of men who volntcered their services In the na tional guard. "Nebraska has a very good class of men in her guard at the present time," said Captain Tupes, "and what we want 1b moro men llko them." Big Gain In State's Valuation. An increaso of $25,000,000 to $27, 000,000 in the assessed valuation of all property In Nebraska, which would equal $125,000,000 to $135,000,000 In coraso in the actual valuation, is Indi cated by tho figures received from tho first nine counties to report to tho stato board of equalization. Tho assossed valuo for 1916 In those nine counties aggregates $31,015,907, which is a gain of S1.C90 517 over last year, or about 5,8 per cent. Applying tho same ratio of increaso to tho state's entire nssessed valuation of $480,000,000 last year, a gross assess ment of $507,000,000 Is indicated for tho current year, or $27,000,000 moro thnn In 1915. Tho stato board of equalization re cently voted to rase some of the rail road assessments for 1910 about 3 per cent, nnd tho railroad valuation ns a wholo was boosted $1,000,000, or a lit tlo less than 2 per cent Big Amount In State Treasury. When State Treasurer Hall and his assistants made up their balance sheet at tho close of buslnoss for June, -they found that tho Nebraska stato treasury contains moro money now than over bufore In the history of tho state, a total of nearly $2,400. 000. Tho statement showed that for tho first time In many yenrs thero Is a cash balance in every single fund belonging to tho stato; that tho stato university and normal schools, usual ly overdrawn from $100,000 to $200, 000, now havo $160,000 to their credit; that the state general fund balnnco had Increased during the month from $245,521 to $719,715. A number of pntrlotlo women of Lincoln havo formed tho nucleus of an organization to raiso funds for tho purchaso of rcgimentnl flags of the Fourth and Fifth regiments of tho Nebraska national guard. Tho can vass will be statewiilo, but tho com mittee expects and relies only on tho womanhood of Nebraska to provide tho means. The cost of tho two regi mental standards will bo close to $000. Offers of money havo already been mado. Tho commltteo desires first, however, to give tho women nn oppor tunity to show their patriotism. Officers Foot Own Bills. It's a nice thing to be a military officer, except when tho officers feel for their pocketbooks. . For not only do thoy havo to foot their board bills, but the very uniforms they wear aro paid for out of their own hard-earned cash. Tho board costs them from $6 to $12 a week. It all depends upon what they order for their tablos. An ordinary uniform, dependent upon the grade, costs from $40 to $100. Most of tho Nebraska guard offlcors have boots, $20, bo their pockotbooks hav boon hit unusually hard. MUST NOT COLOR OLEO FOR SALE Housekeepers Can Color It for Use In Their Homes. Regardless of whether or not ho 1b ablo to get enough names to submit a constitutional amendment relating to his department, Stato Food Com missioner C. E. Hartnnn Is taking of ficial notice of ah old stato law known as the antl-oleo law. H has ruled that under the provlslonsof this law dealers cannot sell oleomargarlno col ored In Imitation of butter, and no ono operating n boarding house, ho tel or restaurant can color the stuff after thoy buy it. It is said dealers who aro prohibited from selling col ored olco aro giving coloring matter In tubes to their customers, so that those who buy may put In tho coloring matter. This Is allowable, Mr. Hnr man says, If people desire to uso tho colored olco In their homes, but not whero bonrdera uro kept or whoro board is given to employes ns n part of their compensation. Tho latter may cover state Institutions, whero employes arc paid n Ralary and tiro given their board. Tho state board of control buys considerable olco for different stato institu'lons. Packing Co. Attacks Commission. Morris & Co., South Omaha packers, havo filed a petition In federal court alleging that tho supremo court com mlcslon of Nebraska has no legal standing whatever and asks an In junction ngalnst tho enforcement of a decreo of that body. Judge T. C. Munger hoard arguments In the enso. Tho citse originated in tho Injury of John Korlnek at tho South Omaha plant of tho compuny July 12, 1913. Korlnek Is listed ns n "citizen of Austria-Hungary and a subject of Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria, and apos tolic king of Hungary." Judgment was secured against the packing company for ?7,G00 on May 27, 1914, In the dis trict court of Douglas county. The case was appealed to tho supremo court. Tho case was handed over to the commission, which affirmed the Judgment and denied a rehearing. Unless an Injunction is Issued by tho federal court, tho packing company fears that an execution will bo levied against It. Will Be Left to Legislature. Tho question of a constitutional convention will not be si'bmltted by Initiative petition but will be left to tho next legislature to act upon, ac cording to a statement given out by C. A. Sorensen, secretary of the ex ecutive committee of tho Nebraska Popular Government league. A partial poll of the candidates for tho next legislature shows a strong favorable majority-, the statement says, and for that reason the com mittee deemed It wise to let the legis lature submit tho proposition. "It will save much expenso and avoid the danger that the presidential campaigi. and the prohibition amendment might overshadow the need of a revised con stitution," tho secretary says. To Organize Aviation Corps. Acting under Instructions from Ad jutant General William H. Simpson, In charge of the Department of tho KaBt, General Phil Hall has made plans for the Immedlato organization of an aviation corps to mobilize at Lincoln and proceed to either Newport News, Va., or Ithaca, N. Y. The Ne braska corps will bo In charge of Cap tain H. E. McMIHen and Lieutenant Hdward Bagncll, and will havo a com plement of forty-five men. An oflort will be mado to secure aB many col lego men as possible for this branch of servlca. Fourteen applications aro already on filo. When Colonel George K. Hunter. In spector general of tho central military department, inspected tho camp lust week, General Hall recommendod to him that tho Nebraska troops bo moved nt once. Goncral Hall said later: "Tho only reason our troops havo not moved as fast as those In many other states Is that wo did not bring any political Influences to bear toward getting them out rapidly. As a result, tho men will bo equipped nnd ready, when they do go. Now I believe they are reasonably ready." June lssuanco of state warrants num bered 3,875 and totnled $39S,000, ac cording to tho report of Auditor Smith. Of tho amount $202,000 camo out of tho general fund nnd tho balance out of fifteen other stato funds. Slnco January 1 tho total expenses of stnto government, ub evldonccd by tho total amount of warrants Issued havo been $2.4C7,156. Keeping Movements Secret. If tho secretary of war, as Indicated In orders rccolveit In Lincoln, hns his way about It, the public will not know when tho Nebraska tioups aro to entrain for tho Mexican bordor, until, llko Arabs, they fold up their tents and silently steal away. Officers are directed not to give out any Information as to tho time of leaving or destination of the units. This Is taken as a precaution against posslblo attempts to wroclt troop trains. For tho noxt fow days, unless moro urgent orders for removal of the troops aro received, tho officers nt the mobilization camp will bend tholr ef forts to recruiting. All of the twenty-four companies havo boon mus tered Into federal service. Attorney General Hoed and his as sistants are preparing to appeal from Judse Cornish's decision In tho Sid noy bank case, whoroln tho board was ordered to Issue a charter to tho now bank at that placo.

A good homestead of 1(50 acres can still be secured free In Western Can ada mid nildltlonul land admirably suited to the raising of wheat can be secured nt so low n cost per ncre that It can be made extremely profltiible. No other part of the world offers such tremendous opportunities nt the present time to the umbltloits young fiirmer ns the three great provinces of Western Cunndii. It Is worth the while of the land hungry man to cease his depressing search for local cheap land or for land that Is not entirely worked out by long cropping and to look outside hi own district. Western Canada Is a country that should receive the con sideration of all such men. The West ern Provinces of Mntiltobn. Saskatche wan and Alberta ore essentially agri cultural territory.

Wis consin, Illinois nnd Indiana. Hut whereas the population of tho five states mentioned Is lift "en million people, thu population of Western Canada Is oily about one and three quarter millions. it has beer said that the average yield per ncre of wheat In the United" States last year was 17 bushels. This average does not. if course, represent the efficiency which may have been reached by Indlvldun1 funnel or by Individual Rtntes. However, pluco against this figure the fact that the lOlfl Western Canadian average trie average from nearly twelve million acres was over .'10 bushels, In the case of the Province of Alberta, tho average readied .'12.84 bushels pel ncre. There nre already a large number of American farmers in Western Canada, so that the newcomer could never overlooking the fact that the samo language Is spoken feel himself In an. nllen country. There seems. In fact, a tendency to establish little colonies composed of those coining from the same sections. The characteristics of the country, nnd the climate and season, nre very much the same as In' Minnesota or North Dakota. Social conditions beur it family resemblance. Fdiicatlon Is free, nnd Is good; Its cost being defrayed partly by taxation, partly by grants from the Cuiindiiin Government, from the sales of school Innils, of which, when the country was first surveyed, two sections In every township were allocated.
