Governor Issues Proclamation
Dy a proclamation Issued Saturday,
Governor Novlllo has designated Toes
d iy, June C, as a legal holiday. This
is a day when the men of tho country
from 21 years to 30, inclusive, aro to
structcd by tho proclamation of the
president to register for possible draft,
nnder the selectlvo system,
Tho Proclamation is as follows;
Tho president of tho United States
has, by proclamation, designated Tues
day June 5, 1017, as registration day and
directs all male citizens, having reach
cd tho age of 21 and not having reach
ed the ago of 31, to present themselves
to their accustomed polling places or
other designated registration places,
to bo enrolled for such service ns they
nro host (lttcd to render thoir country.
Thorcforo, I, Keith Neville, governor
of Nebraska, deolaro that Tuesday,
June D, 1017, shall bo a holiday so far
as our industrial needs permit, and I
urge upon tho pcoplo of the stato that
upon that day tho schools bo closed;
that the flag of our country be promlti'
cntly displayed from public buildings,
bubiuosshouses and homes; that patriot
ic atid musical programs be arranged,
nnd I especially call upon the G. A. R.
the Spanish war votrans, tho Sons of
Veterans, tho commercial clubs and the
citizens to co-operate in making this
day a memorable one, to tho end that
tho registration (which is preliminary
to tho selectlvo draft, made necessary
to insure that all render the 6orvlco
for which they arc best llttod, without
regard to wealth or station in lifo, and
that the industries of tho country be
mobilized and mantained at the high-
est standard, as well as fighting forces
provided), shall mark an epoch in our
state's history, and bo not confounded
with tho penal draft resorted to at the
time of tho civil war.
I call upon every man of tho oges
designated to present himself for en
rollment, in order that tho brilliant
record of Nebraska, established during
tho civil war when moro men respond
ded proportionate to the population
than in any state in tho union, be, if
possible, excelled.

Hidden Money Does No Work
Did you over stop to consider how
monoy works?
Imagine 100 men seated In one room.
Suppose each man there owes some
other one man tho sum of 8100. The
combined debt of those present is then
10,000.
Supposo one of these men takes a $10
bill from his pocket and passes It to
his neighbor; tho neighbor passes it in
turn to his creditor, who hands It over
to tho man ho owes, and so on "until
that bill has made tho rounds of these
lOo men and has returned to tho first
one. That single bill has then can
celled 81,000 of debts, nnd Is ogalu In
the possession of the man who first
had it.
If It Is passed urouml tho circle nine
tlmos more, It has paid the entire
Jfo.000 of debts; tho men leave the
room free of obligation, and tho bill Is
again in tho pocket of the man who
flist stat tod it circulating.
Germany has financed her war on
this bamo piinclplo. She has been
practically out off from communication
with tho world. But her people had
plenty of money.
She borrowed many millions of dol
lars, giving bonds In return. This
money she spent for war supplies, and
it found Its way back into tho nockets
of tho people, only to bo borrowed over
and over again, uover going out of the
empire. Thus has she financed her
war, because the people kept their money
In circulation
That is what wc must do in tho
I'nltcd States. Hysterical anneals for
"economy" have gone out, alormiug
the moro timid citizens who aro prac
ticing foolishly rigid economv. Thov
n:e withdrawing their monoy from
en culatlon putting it where it cauuot
work for oither themselves or the couu-
try.
This is the biggest mistake anvof us
can make. It is one of the creatost
aids wo could give tho enemy. To
finance our war wo must keep our
money in circulation. "
Remember, our annual resources are
fifty billions of dollars moro than
ample to meet all expenses of oven this
great war and loavo a. substantial sur
plus. Tho patriotic duty of American men
aud women is to realize their security
to understand that wo foco no dan
ger except that of strangling our own
country by "economizing" so olosoly
mat wo stop tne now or Us life-blood
money.
Be thrifty certainly. But don't bo
mlsorly. idve your usual life and you
will do ns much for tho flag as can
anyone not actually called to tho colors.

It is the brains that the printer
mixes with ink that tells the tale.
There are many ways in which ihc
printer's knowledge and skill can be
applied so as to give the customer in
selling value much more than the
amount of his bill.
Thii fact often justifies one printer in charg
ing more (ot a job that to the casual eye,
does not show a corresponding difference in
value. Merely to set type and print is not
all that is req uircd to produce good printed
matter. Neat arrangement ol type, suitable
color of inks and a good grade of paper, on
which to print, are required to turn out a
good job such as we give to our customers.
