HOW TO SAVE ON OIL YOUR saving doesn't come in the few pennies difference per gallon in the cost between Polarine and cheaper oils. The saving is in your motor in repair bills, in gasoline, in the life of your car. Polarine is economical because every drop lubricates. There'll be no scored cylinders in the engine that carries Polarine in the crankcase. No carbon cleaning bills is another saving. Polarine burns up clean. Whenever you need oil always look for the Polarine sign. Use Red Crown Gasoline-Ogives most miles per gallon. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Nebraska) OMAHA tin hi mil i mi ii i i I ill I I I I COUNTY DEFENSE COUNCimflUST AID Are Depended Upon by State Officials to Enforce Sedition Law in Stamping Out Disloyalty. Lincoln. Neb.. April 22. The State Council of Defense is depend ing upon the county defense councils of the statae to do much to carry out the provisions of the state's new sedition law, through the operation of which officials ex pect to stamp out disloyalty to the government. This is made clear in a set of instructions prepared by the State Council and made public at the council's offices Monday, after they had been forwarded by mail to the county councils of the state. A census in the various counties of all enemy aliens acting as lecturers, priests, preachers, ministers, teach ers, editors, publishers or educators in any capacity during the war is included in the county councils' program as outlined by the state council. All such educators, under the terms of the sedition law. must secure licenses from the district court in their respective city com munities to carry on the work of their professions while the war lasts. It is the. county councils that the state council is looking to detect any attempts on the part of enemy aliens engaged in these capacities to obtain licenses- in all instances where such permits should be denied. In this connection the instructions say: Should File Protest. "If you have knowledge that any of the alien enemies serving as lec turers, priests, preachers, etc., have engaged in German propaganda or acted in a way unbecoming one living under American protection, your council should immediately file a protest against the granting of such a license. Such protest should be filed in the name of the Nebraska State Council of Defense. "Your council should immediately take a census of all enemy aliens holding such positions in your county. You should make inquiry at the office of the clerk of the dis trict court in order to determine whether any of these enemy aliens have failed to make application for license. If you find that they have failed, you should notify them to do so at once. "As soon as your census has been completed, please file a copy of each list with the State Council of Defense, together with the notation as to whether or not they have made application for license. Depend on County. "Under the law it is necessary for the district court to serve notice of application by enemy aliens to preach, teach, etc., upon the state council. In all such cases the notice will be re ferred to the county councils and we shall depend upon you to take the proper action." To make the sedition law more ef fective the council takes occasion to point out that in cases of disloyalty so serious that there is likelihood of prosecution, the accused person or persons should not be brought before the county council or examined. In such instances, the instructions say, witnesses to the alleged offense may be summoned and in that way the council may make inquiry and develop the testimony for presentation to the county attorney with a request that he begin prosecution under the new law.

Painting of homes and business houses yellow should be frowned upon. In this connection the council says to the county councils: "If anyone has offended, advise witnesses to make complaint to your body and assure them that the com plaint will be thoroughly investigated. "Let our efforts toward making Ne braska 100 per cent American be characterized by a wholesome appre ciation of the fact that the purest sort of Americanism is the upbuilding of law and the maintenance of order."
