Handled After May 1.
HAVE PROBLEM ON BANDS
In i fight lo 4 finish the railroads
have locked horns with Old John
Barleycorn, and ao far aa Nebraska
ia eomerned, they propose to put
him oat of business at the end of the
present month. 1 .','
All of the lines operating into and
through Nebraska have issued cir
cular to agents and the circular! are
substantially the same. They recite
that under the provisions of the Ne
braska laws, "effective at midnight
April 30, it will be unlawful to have
in our possession, transport, or de
liver intoxicating liquors destined to
any point in Nebraska. It will also be
unlawful to receive for shipment to
points outside of the state after-midnight
April 30. -,
"Effective at once, you must refuse
shipments destined to points within
the state. - For points putside the
state where liquors can be legally
shipped, such shipments must be ac
tually in our possession and billed be
fore midnight of April 30. All liquor
on hand must be delivered before Slay
The circulars are issued on advice
of the legal departments of the re
spective roads and it is asserted that
all agents will be held responsible
for violations.
i Problems for Road.
One problem that confronta the
railroads is to determine how they are
going to handle liquor shipments en
route to destination and that can
not be delivered before May 1, the
date' when the prohibition law be
comes effective.
The law provides that delivery
must be made before May 1 and ft
also provides that carriers must not
have liquor in their possession on
that date. With them the question is
what is to be done with the liquor if
it cannot be delivered within the pro
scribed time. There is no provision
of law for its destruction and while
the carriers are liable for violation
of the law if they have it on hand,
there is no way by which they can
dispose of it.
Under the law the stuff cannot be
shipped back to point of origin, for
in so doing, coming from the east or
south, it wuld have to go into and
through dry territory, which in itself
would be a violation of the provisions
of the Nebraska law.'
In handling shipments of liquor rail
roads have been doing -an enormous
business in the last ten days. Con
signments of from one to 100 gallons
have gone forward to hundreds of
towns in Nebraska, Wyoming and
South Dakota, but aince Friday morn
ing there has been a decided falling
off in the business.

offered the output of his print paper

ALL IN AT THE DEATH
. The parade is on.
, The bucket brigade, whose badge
is the o'erflowing can, has been re-
enforced by the bottle battalion,
whose distinction is a bulging hip
pocket or a slender, oblong paper
box. Each has recruited to full strength
to pay last homage to ol' John Bar
leycorn, who is neither late nor la
mentedyet. Nebraskans are indulg
ing in what Mark Twain might call
some "fremature" obsequies for Old
Man Booze. .
There is merry making at the wake,
Everybody smiles, even the bartender
who ia about to loss his job and the
bartender's boss, who is about to loss
his business. It's a happy gathering
that is in at the death.
Forth from any saloon, the "drys"
daily see a steady file of convivial
livers. It is not that they come forth
from the saloons that peeves the dry
rooter. What they bring forth that
irks him.
"Gimme a bottle of preparedness,"
nonchalantly a customer confides to
the white-coated alchemist across the
BOHEMIANS RALLY
AROUHDOLD GLORY
Convention to Organize Flan
for Recruiting for United
States Army.
MEN FROM THREE STATES
Bohemians of Nebraska, Kansas
and Dakota are holding a convention
in Bohemian Sokol hall, Thirteenth
and Martha streets, for thi purpose
of uniting all people of Bohemian
descent in an organiied and uniform
effort in recruiting at' able-bodied Bo
hemian men for the United States
army and navy, and also for the pur
pose of raising funds for the Bo
hemian Independence committee that
ia working in diplomatic circles in the
allied countries and striving to obtain
independence for the Cisco-Slovaks,
more than 12,000,000 people.
At the head of this committee if
Professor Masaryk, former member
of the Austrian parliament and now a
lecturer in King's college, London.
His American wife ia still in Bo
hemia. A number of leading . Bohemians,
former deputies, professors and jour
nalists, who escaped from Austria, are
in Russia. France, Italy, ttt, and have'
organized Bohemian units for the
armies of the individual allied coun
tries. From among the Bohemian prison
ers in Russia most of whom have vol
untarily left the Austrian army, there
is being formed a regular Bohemian
army, numbering about 100,000.
The duty of the Bohemians in the
United States from the beginning of
the war has been to aid financially the
families of Bohemian soldiers in Eng
Four-Cylinder Roadster
Low-Cost Luxury
rpHAT a light car may afford luxuryin the tame de
gree as a big car may never have occured to you.
And yet Scripps-Booth cars have been bought chiefly by
those who have been accustomed to the luxury of costlier
cars. .
They like the Scripps-Booth because it is a car they can
drive without loss of dignity.
They quickly discover that it rides with all the comfort
that they have experienced in the larger, heavier cars.
They find that their wives and daughters can handle it
as easily as they do.,
We should like to extend your interest in the Scripps
Booth to a demonstration of its excellent performance.

countless . thirsty Nebraskans are
making upon the oases. Bottle after
bottle disappears from in front of the
big, bevelled mirrors as man after
man enters and emerges.
So great has the drain been upon
stocks that many thirst emporiums in
Omaha will close their doors today.
Drouth has already descended upon

reason.
From now until May 1 police are
watchfully waiting. They anticipate
a cork-popping period of intense ac
tivity, which, they say, will reign from
8 p. m. Saturday to past midnight
Monday.
Police surgeons have stocked up
with cotton bandages for cracked
heads and made other preparations
which have converted . their quarters

Danger of Damage

PROTECT SUCH ITEMS NOW
A recent article by W. G. Mc
Murchy Washington newspaper cor
respondent, quotes the warnings of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture in regard to clothes moths
and similar destructive clothes de
vouring pests.
Protection from the pest, an ' ting ,
to the specialists bf the i nited
States Department of Agriculture, is
secured only by constant vigilance
and careful inspection and treatment.
Winter clothing: before beina: stored
should be thoroughly brushed and
beaten and exposed out of doors to
strong sunlight for several hours and
then put away in moth-proof con
tainers. (Dresher's improved clean
ing process of course makes much of
the above unnecessary.)
Loose rugs are not so apt to be in
fected by the moths, add the experts,
as the closely tacked edge of the
carpet, but they should be swept on
the other side as well as the uooer
once in a while. (Dresher's auDerb I
rug cleaning ot course makes all of
these preparations unnecessary.)
The government reports are learned
and aincere it is highly important
that your clothes, comforters, rugs,
etc.. should be keot acruoulouslv
cleaned and disinfected. Thorough
cleaning work is, of course, better ren
dered at an establishment prepared to
nanaie an kinds ot work on this order.
In Umaha this, of course, means the
