Lincoln, Sept. 12. (Special.)
What the state will have to do to pro
: tect its right to the potash lakes of
the state was the subject of discussion
at a meeting of the state board of
educational lands today.
The American Potash company, or
iomeone working in its interests, has
run a pipe line across some school
land owned by the state with the in
tention of tapping lakes the company
owns. The information discloses that
the company has put in a branch pipe
from the main pipe into a lake which
the state has leased to a Nebraska
pipe line company and has tapped
this la ke.
Whether the Nebraska company
that has the lease should protect its
rights or whether the state should do
so will depend upon an investiga
tion authorized by the board which
Land Commissioner Shumway will
be sent to look into. State Fire com
missioner Ridgell, who is president of
the Nebraska company is also to in
vestigate the matter and the board
will take it up at the meeting next
week.

with the best that the European war
has produced.
A Composite Product.
"I regard the invention and rapid
development of this engine as one of
the really big accomplishments of
the United States since its entry into
war. The engine was brought about
through the co-operation of more
than a score of engineers, who pooled
their skill and trade secrets m the
war emergency, working with the
encouragement of the aircraft produc
tion board, the War department and
the bureau of standards.
"The story of the production of
this engine is a remarkable one.
Probably the war has produced no
greater single achievement,
i "One of the first problems was to
produce quickly a dependable avia
tion motor Two courses were open.
One was to encourage manufacturers
to develop their own types; the other
to bring the best of all types together
and develop a standard. The latter
course was chosen and two of the
best engineers in the country were
brought together at Washington and
the uroblem of producing an all
American engine at the earliest pos
sible moment was presented to them.
Their first conference was on June 3.
Worked in Shifts.
J "These two engineers were figura
tively locked in a room in a Washing
ton hotel and for five days neither
left the suite of rooms. Consulting
engineers and draftsmen from various
sections of the country were brought
to Washington to assist them. Tb
Work in the drafting room proceeded
continuously day and night. Each of
the two engineers in immediate
charge of the motor development
alternately , worked a twenty-four
hour shift.
"An inspiring feature of this work
was the aid rendered by consulting
engineers and motor manufacturers
who gave up their trade secrets under
the emergency of war needs- The in
dustries have also contributed the
services of approximately 200 of their
best draftsmen.
"The two engineers promised the
government, if given an opportunity,
they would design a satisfactory en
gine before a working model could
be brought from Europe.
' A remarkable American engine was
actually produced three weeks before
any model could have been brought
, from Europe. Twenty-eight days after
the drawings were started the new
engine was set up. This was on
July 3- ,
Twelve Factories Help.
' "With the need for speed as an in
tentive, tools for building the first
engine were made even before the
drawings were finished, on the as
sumption that they would be correct.
"Parts of the first engine were
turned out at twelve different fac
tories, located all the way from Con
necticut to California. When the parts
were assembled the adjustment was
perfect and the performance of the
engine was wonderfully gratifying.
This in itself demonstrates the capa
bilities of American factories when
put to the test and when thoroughly
organized for emergency work of
this sort.
"One of the chief rules outlined at
I the beginning of the designing work
was that no engineer should be per
mitted to introduce construction
which had not been tried out. There
was no time for theorizing. The new
engine is successful because it em
bodies the best thought of engineer
ing experience up to date- Represen
tatives: in the United States of Eng-
lana, trance and Italy co-operated in
uie development ot this motor.
Testa Fully Confirm Faith.
Thirty .days after the assembling
of the; first engine preliminary tests
justified the" government in formally
accepting me engine as the best air
craft eneine oroduced in anv count
The final tests confirmed our faith
in the new motor in every degree.
"Both the flying and altitude tests
of the new motor have been gratify
ing. One test was conducted at Pike's
Peak, where it performed satisfactor
ily at this high altitude.. One of the
engines in an airplane, broke the
American altitude record in a recent
Hying test - , . . :. .
"While it is not deemed expedient
to discuss in detail the Derformance
and mechanics of the new motor, it
may be said that standardization is a
chief factor-jn ' the -development of
the government's motor. Cylinders,
pistons and every other part of the
motor may be produced rapidly and,
economically by a great manv fac

CADET C. CUKTURE,
it..
Washington, Sept. 12. Denouncing
thi introduction of such a proposition,
the senate military committee today
reported adversely Senator Hard
wick's resolution which would pro
vide that the consent of every drafted
man must be obtained before he is
required to perform foreign service.
The committee, the report says, be
lieves the draft law is constitutional
and that every man drafted into the
national army can be used abroad.
The situation arising out of this spirit
of opposition to the selective act is
serious, says the report, "and taken
in connection with the unrest
amongst the civilian population grow
ing out of commercial and industrial
conditions, stimulated in some cases
doubtless by pro-German sympathiz
ers and propagandists, places our
country in a situation of extreme peril
at a time when all should be united
in a common cause.
"It is the view of the committee
that the selective draft act is neither
violative of American tradition nor of
the constitution and, entertaining this
view, the committee fcela justified in
saying that there is no necessity for
such legislation as that proposed,
either on the ground of expediency
or necessity.
"The psychological effect of calling
in question an act, the principles of
which, it seems to the committee,
have been sustained by the courts of
the country, is bad and the tendency
of it all is to impair the military ef
ficiency of the men who are already
in the service and, of those who may
yet be called to serve in this time of
need."

Federal and state officers late yes
terday raided the offices of the Farm
ers' Gas and Oil company, seized all
records, books and contracts of the
orgaization and arrested Don E. De
Bow and Jacob . Kabcinell, named in
a complaint sworn out by County At
torney Magney charging false and
misleading' advertising.
C. D, Hollingsworth, for whom a
complaint was also issued, is out of
the city. He will be arrested when
he returns, officers said.
Deputy United States Marshals
Yates and Quinby, armed with search
warrants, seized the books and rec
ords of the oil company. An investi
gation will be made, United States
officers said, with a view to ascertain,
ing whether or not the operations of
the company constitute misuse of the
United States, mails.
Hall Looks Into Case.
The seizure and arrests were made
at the instigation of Thomas L. Hall,
chairman of the State Railroad com
mission; Hugh Le Master, attorney
for the commissioner, and E. S. Rip
ley, connected with the State Depart
ment of Securities. According to
these officials the scope of . the oil
company operations has been nearly
state wide.
Commissioner Hall said he had in
vestigated the activities of the Farm
er Oil & Gas company for some time.
The complaints issued by County
Attorney Magney charge that adver
tising relative to the drilling of oil
wells in Kansas and Oklahoma is
"untrue, deceptive and misleading and
prepared with intent to defraud."
Commissioner Hall said the; com
pany advertised "ten wells in the
heart of production," which do not
exist. The complaints charge that
none of the company's land has been
drilled for oil.
Headquarters in Omaha.
Advertising of the company tells
of oil lands in Wilson and Butler
counties, Kansas, and in Pittsburg
county, Oklahoma.
Headquarters of the oil company
are in the Paxton block, Sixteenth
and Farnam streets, this city. A
branch office, with signs in front tell
ing of "oil strikes," and with a minia
ture oil drill in the window, is just
off Farnam street on Thirteenth
street.
According to Commissioner Hall,
De Bow, one of the alleged officers
of the company, is under $1,000 bond
in Grand Island, where the Hall
county attorney swore out warrants
as a result of the oil company's ac
tivities there.

The Contrary
Child of
Ignorance.
That Believes
Nothing
but Evil
Prejudice has nothing to commend it, not even consist
ency. Unreasoning and stubborn, it shuts both eyes and ears
to the evidence of all that is good and opens them to all
that is evil.
Born of ignorance it is ever prone to deny or decry
everything which its distorted brain cannot understand.
Thousands of people, many of whom will read these
words, are paying much more than they should for Den
tistry BECAUSE THEY ARE PREJUDICED.
Prejudiced against me because other Dentists who de
sire to maintain high prices, say it is unethical for a den
tist to advertise and infer that because my prices are rea
sonable my work must be inferior.
Prejudice hears that slander but is too blind to
fathom the purpose of the slanderer.
People who would not hesitate to cash my check
people who would not question my word who admit my
ability, integrity and standing, are letting prejudice
unreasoning, unthinking prejudice rob them of dollars
and cents and rob me of the only privilege I ask the
privilege of proving that the dental work done in my
office is performed in an artistic, skillful, manner; the
materials used are of the best, that unnecessary pain is
entirely eliminated and no better work is done in offices
charging double or more than double my prices.
You people who are struggling to exist in these days
of fabulous prices who must have dental work done and
cannot afford to waste a single dollar be fair enough to
yourselves and to those dependent upon you to CON
SIDER THESE FACTS.
Be skeptical if you will, but don't be prejudiced IN
VESTIGATE before you judge. Dare to be fair to your
self and to me.
