BEORUIT STATION
ON LINCOLH CORNER
Spot MayorBryan Selected for
Comfort Station Being Used
for Tent of Officer En-
listing Young Men.
(From a Staff Curreapondcnt.)
Lincoln, June 12. (Special.)
When Mayor Bryan dug up the nice
pavement on Lincoln's principal busi
ness corner to build a public comfort
station arid pierced the ground six
feet deep, little did he thing that in
stead of a public comfort station an
army recruiting office wtould be
erected thereon or that instead of a
cement edifice an army tent woult,'
stand instead, but such is the fact.
Many people did not like the idea
of a public conlfort station in the lo
cality and after Mr. Bryan had
dug the hole good and deep, Mayor
Miller, his successor, filled it up again
and while the pavement has not ytA
been laid, the bareg round made an
ideal place to pitch a tent and in it
Captain Crawford has opened a re
cruiting station and expects to re-ceive-inany
nmes before' the semi
centennial celebration is over.
To Supply Guard.
Tn connection with the enlistments
Captain Crawford is especially inter
ested in the idea of Dr. LV. Doug
las of Wyinore. which is meeting
with considerable approval, is the
conservation of the vegetables of the
gardens of the state and the saving
of wood.
"Ev'ery man who. has a family gar
den," says Dr. Douglas, who by the
way is a brother of Major R. G.
Douglas, commander of the Omaha
battalion of the Fourth regiment,
"will have more vegetables than he
can use. A Red Cross organization
in every town in the state could take
charge of the work of gathering the
surplus vegetables and the boy scouts
could take them and get them ready
for shipment to the Nebraska guard,
which after July 15 will be in camp at
some place in the state. I
"The first freight which came along
could carry the vegetables to the
camp and by every town in the state,
making. a systematic effort to gather
the surplus garden truck, the boys
at camp could be saved the expense
of buying and .always have a fresh
supply on hand, thus making a big
saving to the nation."
To Save Fuel.
"Every railroad burns up a large
amount of old ties which have been
taken from the track. If these old
ties were piled up on the. right-of-way
and then loaded itno cars and shipped
to the training camp, it would save
thousands of dollars to the fuel fund
and at the tame time give the boys in
camp a good fuel for the use of the
cooks," said the doctor.
Captain Crawford is enthusiastic
over the idea and believes if the peo
ple of the state and the railroads will
co-operate in this matter, that it will
save the ration hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and help solve the
problem how to get good and whole
some food for the soldiers.
Three Automobile
Accidents at Kearney
Kearney, Neb., June 12. Special.)
Three automobile accidents were re
corded here in1 as many days, none
of then; with fatal results, but all
tending to a tightening up of the ve
hicle ordinances.
Stella Zimmerman, a 17-year-old
girl, was run down Saturday night
while crossing Central avenue. The
wheels of a big machine passed over
her body and she was unconscious
fur some time, but no bones were
broken, and the sum total of her hurts
consists of severe body bruises. She
failed to use the regular crossing and
the ailtomobile driver was exempted
from blame. '
V. J. Atkinson, aged 17, Sunday en
deavored to bump one of the fast
Union Pacific passenger trains off the
track. He hit the train a smart blow
at the engine tender. His automobile
was swung around and hit asecond
time by the baggage car. The train
then made a regular spinning wheel
of the automobile, every ear giving it
another bump. The steps were torn
off three cars and the auto was fit
for the junk pile by the time the
long train passed. , Atkinson was
jarred considerably and bruised some,
but not badly hurt.
W. B. Mclnroy was breezing along
a country road Monday when a horse
disputed the right-of-way with him.
A collision followed, the horse suf
fering two broWen legs and the car
feoing intolhe automobile 'hospital."
Mclnroy was uninjured.
Tons of Hay Destroyed.
Alliance. Neb., June 12. (Special.)
The Alliance fire department was
called to assist the Burlington de
partment yesterday morning in ex
tinguishing a fire in a pile of baled
I hay containing about 500 tons. The
hay was stored for use at the stock
yards. About 300 tons were de
stroyed. Old People's Home Moves
To Clifton Hill Location
The Old People's home was moved

to their new residence in automobiles.

message "Welcome to our hill from

May Invest Paving Reserve
i Funds in Liberty Bonds
City council approved requests of
Charles' Fanning and Samuel Fried
man that their paving reserve funds.
$10,000 and l$250, respectively, shall
be invested in Liberty bonds.
Are You One of Them?
There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by taking-
Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Baldwins
ville, N. Y., relates her experience in
the use of these tablets: "I had t
bad spell with my stomach about six
months ago and was troubled for two
s or. three weeks with gas and severe
pains In the pit of my stomach. Our
druggist advised me to take Cham
berlain's Tablets. I took a bottle
home and the rirsf dose relieved me
wonderfully and I kept on taking
them until I was cured.". These tab
lets do not relieve pain, but after the
pain has been relieved may prevent
its recurrence. Advertisement.

large sums of money. That was at a !
time when George Washington, in a i
letter to George Mason, said, 'We!
are without money and have been so
for a great length of time; without
provision and forage, except w hat is j
taken by impress: witnoulh clothes;
in a word, wc have lived upon
expedients until we can live no
longer.' '
France to Our Aid.
"In those fateful years, France did
come to our deliverance with ' an
army and a navy, and with such finan
cial assistance as assured our inde
pendence. Our nation, in this hour of
extremity for both England and
France, should regard it as a -special
privilege to aid them in a superlative
degree by the loans of money which
arc being made to our allies in Europe.
It is not possible to estimate in coin
the immeasurable consequence that
may come from the loan of money to
the power and glory of thc American
nation.
From 1803 to 1917, whata mar
velous change has come over the
great nations of the earth! England
and France have become republics in
principle. Both have representative
governments. Both are the homes of
a new democracy. In both, there is
as much freedom and liberty as in
the United States.
"The loyalty and patriotism of this
western country, springing from the
spirit of loyalty and bravery of the
veterans of the civil war, and which
spirit courses througl the veins of
all their sous, and which sentimcjit
of loyalty "pervades the hearts of all
the citizens of this state, arc mani
fested by the fact that 118,000 of Ne
braska's .young men have registered
themselves to become soldiers to bat
tle with the allied nations of Europe
England and France against au
tocracy. Appropriate and Fitting.
. "It is apropriate and fitting that our
army should combine with the army
of England, because both our .coun
tries belong to the same race of peo
ple, speak the same language and are
pf the Same lineal blood. It may-be
appropriately said that we are the
western branch of the great Anglo
Saxon race. Perhaps our joining with
England, in its great struggle, in
Europe, will be the starting point of
a new and glorious period in our own
history. So, too, today wc behold
not .only thc glory, but the agony of
t ranee.
Civilization is startled at tlwj
collossal forces now battling to
tinguish the republican institutions in
that country and to tear asunder the
very fabric of its liberties. We re
member that, at the siege of York

town, there were more French troops
of the line than there were of the
regular army of Americans. We also
recall, in that siege of Yorktown, tbt
there were thirty-six French battle
ships tinder the command of the
trench admiral, DeUrasse. Benjamin
Franklin once declared that, without
Yorktown, our independence would
have been set back a thousand years.
"There is, therefore, every reason
why our American soldiers should
unite with the army of France, and
that the three great republican na
tions of the world England, France
and the United States should co-op-
