wheat by the roots without the least
effort," said Mr. Springer, "it all be
ing rotted off dead at the crown."

appear opposed to patriotic meetings

the city auditorium and other places

Hostettler. Anderson of Boyd, Ollis,
Nesbit, Fries, Osterman, Craddock,
Seisner and Dafoc. They were afraid
any demonstration of patriotism
might be construed by the president
to mean that they were in favor of a
ArU,nnn nf war and thought It bet
ter to keep cool heads and wait until
after war was declared Deiore sutu
n,,iffa were held.

GOVERNOR'S BILL
Land Commissioner Opposes
Clearance of Title to'
Saline Lands.
SOMEBODY GETTING BILKED
(From a Btaft Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb, March 30. (Spe
cial.) Land Commissioner Shumway
is not in accord with the bill intro
duced by the governor to perfect the
title of the saline lands of the state,
which have been in the hands of pur
chasers for the past thirty years, and
today said: -
"X don't claim to know more than
the governor, attorney general, or the
members of the house, who seek to
cure saline land titles, but had they
investigated as I have done, they
would not have sought to put a stamp
of approval on all this matter.
"The senate committee and the
farmers' union looked into it briefly,
bat enough to satisfy them of a bad
condition.
K "The land commissioner called at
tention to the matter because he was
satisfied that the state had been sepa
rated from about $2,000,000 worth of
property, part of it by collusion and
fraud, partly by just taking posses
sion, partly without constitutional
right, and all without legal authority."

much rather buy and have such merchandise than v
goods that are turned out just "to sell."
