That All IS Well
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 7. (Special
Telegram.) The Nebraska troops on
the border are getting along nicely
and everything is as nearly satisfac
tory as could be expected, according
to a telephone message received by,
Governor Morehead this afternoon..
The governor was called up- over
the phone by Colonels Eberly and
Paul of the two Nebraska regiments
and for a few minutes carried on a
conversation with the two regimen
tal commanders. Thetalk was not as
satisfactory as wished, owing to some
fault down in Texas, and the mes
sages had to be repeated by the
operator in Dallas.
After assuring the governor that
everything was going on finely, "the
executive sent greetings back to the
boys from the home folks.
Modern Woodmen
Case in High Court
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 7. (Special.) A
controversy over the raise in rates by
the Modern Woodmen of America
is up to the supreme court, Anna
Dramse having appealed from a judg
ment of the Sheridan county district
court on a death certificate for
$2,000, held by her husband, Joseph B.
Dramse.
It appears that when the executive
council of the Woodmen in 1912
raised the rate of assessment, Dramse
was holding a $2,000 policy, his rate
being 60 cents per thousand. The
raise increased his assessment to $1
and he refused to pay it and was sus
pended. In October, 1914, Dramse died and
the action is taken on the grounds
that at all times he was willing to
pay the 60 cent raise, and therefore
according to the laws of the order,
at the time he became a member,
could not be legally suspended. v.

Ex-Senator Thurston Not
Expected to Survive Night
That ex-Senator Jhn N. Thurston
probably would not live through the

Mr. Thurston has been seriously ill
at St Joseph hospital for some "ime
andn the end has been expected for

Corn prospects improved generally
over the territory covered by the
Burlington crop report for the week
ending August 5. Burlington agents
estimate that corn on the Omaha di
vision will make 97 per cent of an
average crop. The estimate last week
was 94 per cent. The Wymore aver
age of estimates increased from 80 to
87 per cent, although the rains were
not so evenly distributed in this ter
ritory as on the Omaha and Lincoln
divisions. The Lincoln division esti
mate declined from 88 to 82 per cent,
although the soil condition is re
ported excellent on both the Omaha
and ijncoln divisions.
"TheShowera since the first of the
month," the report says, "were in
time to prevent any appreciable dam
age to corn ou the Omaha and Lin
coln divisions. There are a few places
nerhaos on the Wymore division
where early corn was slightly dam
aired. On the McCook division corn
is in such condition that it is hardly
possible to make an estimate as to
its present condition. Much depends
on the weather from now on. With
favorable conditions from now on
from 50 to 75 per cent of the crop
may be realized. That is probably the
most tnat couia ne expecwu even un
der the most favorable conditions."
No Harm from Hot Winds.
Although temperature has been high
nil the last week throuzh the corn
belt and there have been strong winds
in many places, the corn nas not sui
fered from "hot winds" as they are
known, because the relative humidity
has been generally high.
The highest rainfall report for the
week was at Scott's Bluff, where 4.75
inches fell. Seneca, Seward and Cen
tral City received between three and
four inches of rain. ' and Lincoln,
York, Stromsburg, Syracuse, Rog-
iren. Odell and Eckley all report more
than two inches. No station report
ing to the Omaha office was entirely
without rainfall.
The morning- weather reports to
the railroads showed temperatures
generally about ten degrees lower
than during the last month, with light
rains and cloudy weather over most-
of the state. Clay (.enter, witn a lau
of .60 of an inch was the wettest sta
tion on the Burlinston.
The Northwestern reported good
rains in Pierce, Antelope and Holt
counties, and the Union Pacific belt,
just east of North Platte, had a good
soaking rain. Rain was falling on
the Beatrice branch of the Union Fa
cific this morning.

THE NOVACEK FAMILY. 14th and Garfield Sts., Omaha.
, Five years ago the Novacek family,
retired Bohemian farmers, came to Omaha
from Bohemia to live. They established
their home at 14th and Garfield in a com
fdrtable cottage. There are five in the .
familyall healthy and with rugged con
stitutions showing they have plenty of
healthful food.
Like all Bohemians, the Novaceks are
economical in all things, and although they .
live as well as anone ought, they give con
sideration to cost. Knowing food values,
the main item on the Novacek bill of fare
is plenty of pure, sweet wholesome milk.'
. During the first year thejr were In
Omaha the Novaceks bought milk here
and there, but four years ago they started
to use Alamito Pasteurized milk, and to
day they use from seven to ten quarts daily
and have almost eliminated meat from
their diet. Alamito has given this discrim
inating family absolute satisfaction and
they would use no other milk but Alamito.
hr-:- In this way this family uses about $20
worth of milk per month and practically
no meat, while the ordinary family of this
size would use $15 to $20 worth of meat
and $5 to $10 worth of milk besides.
REMEMBER Plenty of sweet, pure, wholesome, pasteurized Alamito milk is safer
for your family, better food for all and more economical. , ; '
