Land Commissioner Shumway
Drops Role as Politician and
Blossoms Out as Bard, and
He's Some Bard.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13. (Special.)
Office holding has brought out
qualities in men not before suspected.
Land Commissioner Grant Shumway
is resourceful, very resourceful. As
a prophet he stands in a class by him
self and as a statesman few can
match him. But now he crops out
with another characteristic. It seems
he can write poetry. Not only can he
write it in a manner that woulu make
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow green
with envy, but he can reach up into
the intellectual heavens and pluck
therefrom beautiful roses of rhetorec,
equalled only in Boston, the city of
esthetic glory and baked beans. Here
is his latest:
The autumn leaves are falling to the mould;
Along the sumac's hedge is vagrant fire;
The ferns and forests are of amber gold.
Shot through with emerald as they expire;
All nature seems in glory when it dies.
The day's resplendant orb. retiring, throws
Its gorgeous translucent draperies
Around its couch, as it sinks to repose;
And Cygnus, or the babied dying swan,
Tho sweet Its song alas it sings but one.
Arrival of Autumn witnesses frui
tion of hopes, abundance and happi
ness, where the largosses of the
farms are transmuted into gold.
Surplus in amplitude has come from
Nebraska's peerless soil, and its ex
change brings modern farm houses,
larger barns, better stock, motor cars
and Liberty bonds.
It has brought more a content"
ment with rural life, which modern
convenience contemplates. The young
folks from the country are leading in
the grand march of the common
wealth. .
Autumn of 1917 has come on time,
loaded down with a summer of events.
There is something about this march
of seasons, that bids one pause and re
flect. The more one plants to do,
the less time there is to do it; the
larger load one would anticipate for
a summer, the more swiftly does that
summer glide along. Ere one knows
it the ideas of autumn show from
eyery angle.
The trees of home drops down upon
one's head a yellow leaf, the carpet
of green gives out a sense of ma
turity, the garden shows only a rem
nant of its former promise and ful
fillment, and in the thinning foliage
of the orchard are branches bending
down with red and w'pening fruit;
yellow pumpkins peek from fields of
corn,' and the fields themselves, like
frests, hold their contributions high
in the air, 250,000,000 bushels of Coro
nado gold.
Straw-stacks, eaolian marcelled and
drifted by blow stackers, tell of a
harvest past The spider spins his
gossamer in the browning stubble
fields; the cows sway homeward over
abandoned pastures, rolling in fat, and
ever ready to yield an ample compen
sation fr the very joy of living. Sym
bols of : lenty a million haystacks
dot a-thousand meadows.
The frest fringe along the river
front shows tips of red, and brown
and gold here and there in its dark
bank of green. Goldenrod crowns
hill and ridge, and pale, gray wilder
ness yarrow, deepening to brown and
purple, nods 'over the virgin prairies.
The flowers have turned to deeper
hues, dark red and yellow, cannas,
mosses, and the persistent crimson
of.Teplitz roses. The leaves hang
listless in the silent air. A walnut
falU from its aerial home, as Sammy
Jay startles the stillness with his
strident call, but even Sammy chortes
softy to his mate,' as over reminescen
ces of a happy summer past. High
overhead 'the Canadians are honking
down to Dixie land.
From Nebraska's sunny sky, through
the alchemy of nature has come a
sign. Deep in f the soil, carbons, hy
drates and exides penetrate. There
they are blended in nature's mysteri
ous laboratory,, to feed the earth, to
feed plant life, to feed animals.
New Long-Distance Phone
Service to Potash Fields
' Alliance, Neb., Oct. 14. (Special.)
The demand for long distance tele
phone service to the rotash fields has
induced the Nebraska Telephone com
pany to extend their metallic circuit
from Alliance to Hoffland, Antioch,
Lakeside and Ellsworth. This will
give etter service also to farms and
ranches between those points. Work
on the .extension will start in a few
days.
Sioux Indians Doing
Good Work at Alliance
Alliance. Neb.. Oct. 14. (Special.)
The Sioux Indians assisting in har
vesting the enormous potato crop m
Box Butte county are giving good
satisfaction and have agreed, to re
turn for the same work next year.
This being the first visit of some of
the Indians to Alliance for several
years they expressed great surprise
at the growth and improvement in
the city.

Learner Loses Contest
Case in Supreme Court
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 14. (Special.)
George W. Learner, county attorney
of Dakota county, loses in his con
test to hold his position, according to
the opinion of the supreme court.
Learner was elected last fall by a
plurality of only 13 votes and Sidney
T. Frum, his opponent, contested the
election. A demand for a recount
was made by Frum in the county
court, which was refused, and on ap
peal to the district court was af
firmed. An appeal to the supreme
court reverses the opinion of the
lower court.

titled to introduce as evidence bal
lots which had been properly pre
served without first making proof
that error had been committed in the
first count.

Mood' Says Rowland
Chicago, Oct. 14. The White
Sox are back in a winning mood,
Clarence Rowland, manager of the
victorious Chicago club, said last
night:
"I think the rest of the way to
the world's series will be easy,"
Rowland said. "It wasn't possible
for any team to beat the Giants as
they played in New York, but we
finally made them break down here
and let us come from away behind
and win the game. The Sox still
is the best short series team in the
world, and I think the fans of the
country will agree with that about
Moaday night." '
"The White Sox finally found
themselves," said Charles A. Com
iskey, owner of the Chicago team,
"and I look to them to win the
championship.' Today's game was
the most enthusiastic contest I ever

recovered, they made first -downs
twice and were m ten yards of a goal,

ton carrying the ball for long gains.
Only three forward passes wer at
tempted, all by Vanderbilt, none being

Avoid All Meat '
If Kidneys and
Bladder Bother
Uric Acid In Meat Excites Kidneys
and Irritates the
Bladder.
Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder
Weakness or Kidney-Backache.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to ir
ritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty In voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina
tion. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablcspoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu
tralize the acid in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs, which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
andjs used by thousands of folks who
arev subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation., Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer
vescent lithia-water drink which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
