Several in the party grew eloquent and told how they were being exploited by the capital ists. . . When questioned by the judge as to his business, the orator launched into another speech, saying that he was a tramp and that Ins lather be fore him followed the same profes sion. There were two Ktissiaus, one Austrian and Iwo Hermans in the gang, none of whom had taken out their first papers. They said they were under no obligations to any govern ment. Four of the number were dis charged and six held for investigation by the federal authorities because they appeared to be within registra tion age limit, but had no crrUntial howing that they were not slackers The men gave their names as I..

The lirst convention of the associa tion was held in Omaha fifty years ago in the first Uaptist cnurcn, J wen-tv-ninth avenue and Harney street, The old structure that house the dele gates to that convention has passed, and given way to the more elaborate temple of today, just as many of those who attended the first conven tion have passed, and are replaced by the new delegates that art to come to the golden jubilee this year. Front the number of persons who have already signified their intention of attending the celebration this year, the spirit of that first convention is to be maintained in all respects. Many Visitors Expected. Pastors and congregations, teachers and pupils, from all over the state, and many notables from different parts of the United States are coming to make this convention the largest and the most successful ever held. More than 5.000 visitors are expected to come to Omaha for the three days, and the hospitality of the city, by way of housing the strangers, as well as a generous welcome is promised them. Every person who desires to attend is a self-appointed delegate, and every one is cxpcctctl to pay his own ex penses. Each town within a radius of fifty miles will send its quota to the cele bration in machines, and auto parades from every road leading into Omaha CONSERVE THE WILD FLOWERSOF STATE John Bath Tells What Should Be Done to Preserve Their Beauty for Flower Lovers. By A. R. GROH. Today we will have a Bath to tell us how to conserve our wild flowers. I went to a Bath house to have this explained to me in order that I might explain it to you and thus save the lives of the dear little wild flowers which bloom so modestly in the grassy dells and on the hillsides around our city. I went to see John H, Bath, the flor ist. (See the joke? "Bath house." Not so bad, eh?) Mr. Bath had writ ten me a letter. He enclosed a clip ping telling how the St. Louis Asso ciation of Gardeners had resolved to conserve the native flora which was in danger of extermination because of the operations of indiscriminate col lectors. Said Mr. Bath: "Picnic parties un fortunately become over-enthusiastic with our native flowering plants. Bunches of Wild Flowers. "I saw a man down at Child's Point with a whole bushel of sweet williams and saw other bunches of wild flow ers which had been picked only to be thrown away in a short time ' "Mapy people pull up the plants, thinktiig they'll take them home and plant them in their yards. But, be cause of their ignorance in picking, they never transplant them success fully. The plants should be dug up with plenty of earth around the roots. When planted in the home garden (hey should be shaded and given plen ty of water for a few days. But it is heart-breaking to see the way the flowers are dying out in the woods around the city. "Many beautiful wild flowers are native here, but the public should real ize that they must be allowed to grow in order to be a continued beauty. Every flower that is picked means the loss of that much seed for the next year's flowers. It is all right to pick violets because they are so prolific that they won't, die out. But to pick sweet william, wild honey suckle, blood root, lady slipper, moccasin flowers, jack-in-the-pulpit and adder tongue will result in the absolute ex termination of these wild flowers around Omaha very soon. I remem ber when great quantities of wild brake and maidenhair fern were in the woods north of Florence. Now they are all gone. Will Bloom for Weeks. "Besides, the person who picks a wild flower has it for only a few hours, whereas, if the flower is al lowed to grow, it will bloom for weeks to delight others." You see. dear readers, the cause of the wild (lowers is a just one. There is no excuse for killing off these flow ers even though they are wild. You are not like the little child in the rhyme: "Ot what ar you afraid, my child?" Inquired the hlndly teseher. "Oh, sir. tho flowers, they ar wild." llrplled tha thnld erssturs. No, the wild flowers will not hurt you. Let them grow, stop and look at them where they grow so modestly the grassy dells and on the hill sides, as I said in the second para graph. Mop and look at them, hnjoy their beauties. But do not pluck them. Do not destroy their lives. How would you like to be plucked if you were a little wild flower growing In a grassy dell? You wouldn't like it a bit. Boy ' Scouts Do Their Bit; Sell $9,000,000 of Bonds Boy Scout, of the United States during the Liberty bond drive secured nearly 100.000 individual subscrip tions, the total aggregating approxi mately $9,000,000. The foregoing is the substance of a wire that Scoutmaster English re ceived last night from James E. West, the chief executive, who has head quarters in New York City. Boy Scouts of Omaha secured 1,165 individual subscribers in this city and in Douglas county, the total stim of the subscriptions being $!49,350.

Omaha the Host. An attendance prize is offered for the largest number of delegates com ing from a single county. Omaha, the largest city in the association and home of the convention, is excluded from competition. Their consolation prize, however, will be the opportun ity to play the genial host to those from the outlying districts. A round of entertainment will in tersperce convention business and're ligious services throughout the three days. Speech-making, story-telling and song will till the program. The convention will be held at the Auditorium, where everyone will be well accommodated with vantage Koints to hear and see all that is appcuing. Prominent Speakers. Mrs. Maud Junkin Baldwin, Chi cago, superintendent of the elemen tary division of the International Sun day School association, famous woman orator and story teller, will entertain the first two days of the convention, as will also Miss Nannie I.ee Frazer, Louisville. Dr. George E. Sutton, Kansas Cily; Dr. W. E. Raffcrty, Philadelphia; Ralph N. Mc Entire, Topcka, and other noted talk ers will deliver addresses. After all the business of the con vention has been attended to a reli gious pageant will be enacted by 8U0 Omaha people on the spacious stage at the Auditorium. As the finale the board of directors will meet at the Castle hotel on Fri day morning and elect the executive committee. DIPLOMAS GIVEN ' H. SJIRADUATES Joint Exercises Held at Audi torium for South, Central and Commercial High Schools. Banked upon the stage in tiers and presenting an imposing appearance in their gray caps and gowns, 352 high school students received their diplomas at the joint graduation ex ercises of the High School of Com merce, South Side and Central High schools at the Auditorium Friday night. The large building was filled with mothers, fathers and friends who came to see their daughters and sons presented with their certificates of graduation. Dr. Thomas Francis Moran, presi dent of Purdue university, gave the commencement address on the theme "Citiienship in a National Crisis." Rev. Lloyd B. Holsapple, rector of St. Barnabas' church, pronounced the invocation. C. J. Ernst, president of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas. Commissions for Cadets. Perhaps the most pleasing sight was the presentation of cadet certifi cates to the forty-two commissioned officers. 1 Two abreast and attired in white duck trousers and cadet gray coats, the officers, led by Lieutenant Colonel Paul Nicholson, marched upon the stage. Arthur R. Wells, chairman of the committee on teach ers and course of Study, presented the certificates. An officer of the army took the cer tificates for the officers who left school to work on farms or who have joined branches of the military serv ice. Address to Students. Dr. Moran told the students that there were many ways of prepared ness in which they must fit them selves before they can hope to be a success. Political, social and reli gious preparedness, he said, was as imnortant, if not more so than armed preparedness. "Schools should not be closed be cause of the war. They are needed now more than ever. In a national crisis the people should remain set tled, should think clearly and not jump at conclusions. If the schools close, the young people will be de prived of their greatest means of learning to think and judge matters as they should." Dr. Moran upheld President Wil son and congress in tin, war. "If Washington and his men lived today they would believe in the policy now being pursued. The principles today are the same as they were then lib erty and freedom." Orchestra Play- Fart. One of the features was the or chestra directed by Henry Cox. The players were students from the three high schools. A string orchestra also featured. Before President Ernst presented the diplomas the principal from each high school called out the names of his students. As they passed Mr. Ernst they were handed their certifi cate. Of the 352 graduates, 228 were from Central High school; forty-two from South Side and eighty-two from the High School of Commerce. The complete list of graduates has been published before in The Bee. Those Who Got Commissions. Central High school commission ta officers who received commissions were: Psul Kleholson.

BECK A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled and Use at Home. New York. Dr. Beck, a New York state ye specialist, and Dr. Judkins, a Massa chusetts physician, were asked to make a thorough test of the popular eye remedy, Bon Opto. Their reports were moat inter ssting. Here they are: Dr Beck reports, "When my attention waa first called to the wonderful eye rem sdy, Bon Opto, I was inclined to be skepti cal. I make it a rule to test every new treatment which is brought to my attention. Having specialised in eye work for the past twenty years, I believe I am qualified to express an intelligent opinion on remedies applicable to the eyes. Since Bon Opto has created such a sensation throughout the United States and Canada, I welcomed the opportunity to test it. I began to use it in my practice a little over a year ago and I am frank to say that the results obtained are such that I hesitate to tell of my ex perience for fear it will sound ineredihle. Some of the results I have accomplished with Boo Opto not only astonished myself, but also other physicians with whom J have talked about it I have had many individ uals who had worn glasses for years for far-sightedness, near-sightedness, astigma tism and other eye weaknesses, tell me they have dispensed with them through the adop tion of the Bon Opto principle. Many eye troubles can be traced directly to muscular contraction and relaxation and since Bon Opto method tells how to exercise and de velop the eye muscles, H reaches conditions not possible through other means. I advise every thoughtful physician to study Bon Opto principle, give It the same careful trial I have and there la no doubt in my mind they will eome to the conclusion I have, namely, that the Bon Opto method opens the door for the cure of many eye troubles which have heretofore been impos- sioie to cope wttn. j ne treatment is so j simple in its application that it can be used Nuxated Iron Should Be Used in Pr escribed bv Everv jSayt Dr. Howard Jam eg, late of tho Manhattan State Hospital of New York and formerly Assistant Physician , Brooklyn State Hospital it quickly enriches the blood, strengthens the nerves and puts most astonishing: youthful power and vigor into the veins of both men and women.

Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St Elizabeth's Hospital, New York; Dr. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon of the City of Chicago and former House Surgeon Jefferson Pak Hospital, Chicago, and other physicians who have tested Nuxated Iron in their own private practice. f Tn a very in teres tint and Instructive dis course on the treat values of plenty of iron in the blood. Dr, Howard James, late of the 'Manhattan State Hospital of New York and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, said: A patient of mine remarked to nte after j having been on a six weeks' course of 'Nuxated Iron): Say, Doctor, thai there mafic stuff Previous to usinv Nuxated Iron, had been prescribing the various mineral salts of iron for years, ontjr to meet the eomptalnta of discolored teeth, dis turbed digestion, tied up, hardened se cretions, etc.. when I came across Nuxated Iron, an elegant, ingenious preparation containing organic iron, which haa no destructive action en the teethno corrosive effect on the stomach, and which is readily assimilated into the blood and quickly makes its presence felt by increased vigor, snap and staying power. "Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change ffood into living tissue. With- ,0'Jt it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you fwithout doing you any good. 'You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to trw in soil deficient in iron, As t have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. It people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run down, in stead of dosing themselves with habit form ing drugs, stimulants and alcohelto bever ages, I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becom ing organic In thousands of cases and there by the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble end other dangerous maladies. The real and true eauae which started their diseases waa nothing snore or lesa than a weakened condition brought en by a lack of iron in the blood." Thousands of people suffer from iron dt flcleney and do not know it. , "If you are not strong or well, you ewe one to' me who was nearly half a century M to yourself to make the following test: old and aaked tne to give him a preliminary bee how long you can work or how far you Mi,i n. r Ma ran walk without becoming tired.

In my own practice I have leen ft strengthen the eyesight more than 60 per cent in one week'e time. I have also used it with but prinlnff effect In eases of work strained eyes, pink eye, inflammed lids, catarrhal con junctivites, smarting, painful, aching, itch ing eyes, eyes weakened from colds, smoke, sun, dust and wind, .watery eye, blurred vision, and in fact many other conditions too numerous to describe In this report. A new and startling case which has just come under my observation, which yielded to Bon Opto, is that of a young girl. 12 years old. Two prominent eye specialists, after a thnrx ough examination or the young girl, decided in order to save the sight of her right eye, the left eye must be removed. Before per mitting her to be operated on, the young girl's father decided to use Bon Opto. In less than three days a marked improvement was noticed. At the end of a week the inflam mation had almost disappeared, and at the end of six weeks the eye was saved. Just think what the saving of that eye means to this little girl Another case is that of a lady 93 years old. She came to me with dull vision and extreme inflammation of the lids and the conjunctiva was almost raw. After two weeks use of Bon Opto the lids were absolutely normal and her eyes are as bright as many m girl of 16." Dr. Judkins, Massachusetts physician, formerly Chief of Clinics in the Union Gen eral Hospital, Boston, Mass., and formerly House Surgeon at the New England Eye and Ear Infirmary of Portland, Maine, and medi cal author for many years, reports: "I have found oculists too prone to oper ate and opticians too willing to prescribe glasses while neglecting the simple formu las which form the basis of that wonderful home treatment for eye troubles, Bon Opto. This, in my opinion, is a remarkable rem edy for the cure and prevention of many eye disorders. Its success in developing and strengthening the eyesight will soon make eye glaspes old fashioned and the form of eye baths which the Bon Opto method pro vides will make its use as common as that of the tooth brush. I am thoroughly con vinced from my experience with Bon Opto that it will strengthen the eyesight at least SO per cent in one week's time in many in stances. Dr. W. H. Devine, director of medi cal inspection in the Boston schools, in his report published February 20, 1917, states that only 14.018 out of 9.175 examined need to wear glasses now. a marked decrease over the previous report." Victims of eye strain and other eye weak nesses and thosa who wear glasses wilt be glad to know that according to Dr. Beck and Dr. .ludkins, there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were fail ing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it: "I was almost blind. Could not see to read at all Now I can read everything without my glasses and my leyes do not hurt any more. At night they'would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It wag like a miracle to me," A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed haty with or with out glasses, but after using this prescrip tion for 15 davs evervthlnir mii r.l Mr. I can read even fine print without glasses."

JUDKINS Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for Beveral years, both for distance and close work and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the typewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have dis carded my long distance glasses altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for sev eral years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my joy at what it has done for me." It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reason able time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to ba spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited hy the use of this prescription at home. Here Is the pre scription: Go to any active drug a to re and get a bottle nf Bon Opto tablets.

A true health builder in every sense of the word. rip SrhuvUr C. Jaaues. vtsltlnr Sur geon of St. Elisabeth's Hospital, New York, was also asked what he thought of Nuxated Iron. In reply Dr. Jaaues said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, as l ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it, I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfac tory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective rem edy." The next to be consulted was Dr. Ferdinand K ing. a New York physician and Medi cal author, who said: "I heartily concur in all that Pr. James has said, only in some respects I would go further. Dr. James forgot to mention how foods lose their iron value by improper methods of cookery. In the most com mon foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups polished rice, white bread, soda candies. crackers. biscuits, macaroni, spagnem, tap ioca, sago, farina, degerminated corn meal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining pro cessea have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the-waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked are responsible for another grave iron lossTherefore, if you wish to preserve youpyouthful vim and vigor to a ripe age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by uing some form of organic iron Nuxated Iron just as you would use sale when your food has not enough salt. NOTE Nuxated Iron which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in uch a great variety of cases is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one wh.ch is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by emi nent physicians everywhere. Unlike the oider inorganic iron products, it is easily assimi la ted, does not injure the teeth, make them black nor upset the stomach: on the contrary it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion, aa well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have uch great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit 1100.00 to any charit able institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and in ereaae their strength 100 per cent or over in lour wecas lime, provided they have wrv" V""-' k""'"1 wiey nave no serious organic trouble.
