Charlotte Townsenu and Myrtle

have completed details of the local
campaign to weigh and measure 15,

It is evident that the local campaign
has been eclipsed by the war situa
tion. Somebody who did not give his
name said that politics make strange
are just ahead of Thomas E. Brady.
Of course, the rotation of names may
break thele combinations now and
then.
The name of the second Smith who

but not within the next year.
Mr. Hord says the islandersare in
tensely patriotic and enthusiastic over
he war situation and that many of
them arc anxiously waiting the call
to go to France.
The Philippine bank at Manila sub
scribed $100,000 to the first Liberty
lo"an and is now subscribing$600.000
to treasury certiljcates.
"A lAistakcn idea as to the value of
the islands exists in the minds of
many , Americans." said Mr. Hord.

The local work will be done from
April 10 to May 20, and the school

C. W. Tollard will have charge of
clerical work.
The schedule follows:

Failure to interest voters in prob
lems of municipal government at this
time has prompted many of the can
didates to take up patriotic topics at
the few meetings which are being
held. Mayor Dahlman. for one, has
been delving into the history of the
country from July 4, 1776, to date.
Others have been telling how "our
forefathers brought forth on this con
tinent a new nation," etc.
T never went through such a dull
campaign as far as politics is con
cerned, but the people seem to re-
bedfellows. Bv scanninc the arrange- as "Edward A. Smith." The first pe

candidates for city commissioner and
is the w idow of Thor Jorgensen.

Junk Dealers Adopt Badge
For Protection of Public
E. Yaks, president of the Omaha
Junk Peddlers' Protective associa
tion, reports that the association is
trying to protect both the patrons
and their members by giving badges
to all members and by urging their
patrons to ak to see the badge before
they buy or sell goods to a peddler.
The members maintain that this wit.
do much to discourage work by un
scrupulous dealers. The -association
holds regular meetings every two
weeks at Wolfe's hall, Twenty -fourth
and Charles streets. .
Railroads Report Heavy

Railroad offices report another
heavy snowfall in western Nebraska

wet snow. In Wyoming and Colo
rado, the snowfall was 12 to 18 inches.
In the west the weather is Teported

Aliens ' Under Control. !
"The alien situation is well under
control and the decrease in tlve nura- I

of any great disorder. ' i
"fifteen German rnercha'nt ships j
interned at tne outbreak ot trie war
have been sent to the United States
ior use by the government in trans
porting supplies and troops to
France." 1
Since leaving the islands Mr. Hord
has Riven up his position as head of
and lias retired from the banking busi-
nessl. He had nothing to say about
his future plans. "Just a business
trip," as, he characterized it.
