WILLIAM B. PRICE
PRIMED FOR RACE
FOR SENATOR
Lincoln Man Quoted as Saying
. Other Democratic Candidates
Fail to Meet People's,
Standard.
(From a Stiff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, June 16. (Special.) Be
lieving it to be his "patriotic duty"
- to be a candidate for the democratic
nomination for the United States
senate, William B. Price of Lincoln,
announced at the state house yester-
, day that he probably would get into
the fight and file for that office some
- time this week.
He does not believe that either of
the other three democratic candidates
"stacks up" to the requirements.
He says that Governor Morehead
has tied up with the Hitchcock-Mullen
interests, that Lieutenant Gover
nor Howard has killed himself off by
his financial platform and that At-
tnrnfv fieneral Rppd "won't ?et anv
votes anvhow." -
:- This is very important if true, and
if Colonel Price, after investigating
i the situation, has discovered that
1 such a condition exists as he relates,
the democratic party has yet time to
seek a new Moses, and when it starts
out on the hunt, Colonel' Price ex
pects to be sticking around where the
hunting is good.
" It has been generally understood
liat thfc - Hitchcock-Mullen crowd
was not satisfied with Governor
.Morehead. In fact it was an open
secret net so very long ago that they
were endeavoring to get Governor
Neville to enter the race for the
"democratic nomination in hopes to
defeat the ex-governor for the place.
Whether Mr. Howard has killed him-
i r ir i. r . i. i: . :i i u
in hfs platform, of course remains to
be discovered, and the charge that At
- torney General Reed will not get any
votes, remains to be seen, To say the
least, the attorney general has a good
sized office force and there ought to
be some votes sticking around in the
crowd when the primary day comes.
Expects Little From Bryan.
, Mr. Price does not expect to get
many votes from the Bryan faction
in the democratic party. It was Mr.
" Price who defeated William Jennings
Bryan for delegate to the democratic
national convention two years ago,
and Mr. Trice went to the national
convention and received much publi
city and a life-size picture on the front
page of a St. Louis paper as the man
who defeated the great commoner, so
Mr. Price does not count very much
on the Bryan support, except from
such men who HI himself, are for
Price from a patriotic motive. Wheth
er the Bryan braves will be likely to
bury the political tommyhawk just for
patriotic motives to vote for Mr.
Price, must be left to Charlie Bryan
to issue the order.
And speaking of Charlie Bryan
brings up the matter of the demo
cratic nomination for the governor
ship. Governor 'Neville has shied his
castor into tne Tins' Me is now a
V full fledged candidate for re-nomina
tion with no - its and ands about
it. Mr. Bryan was noticed around
, . the Lindell hotel last night, where
politicians are wont to gather and
make and unmake candidates, and had
. confidential conversations with lead-
ing democrats wjo were sitting
around.
V When asked by The Bee correspon
i dent if he might announce in the pa
per that Mr. Bryan was ready to file
lor the nomination. Mr. Bryan s eyes
, twinkled and he answered "not yet."
t However, it was pretty well under
stood after Mr. Bryan had boarded
a passing asiyum car, that it was
probable that the ex-mayor would get
. . in, and his boarding of the asylum
car was only an incident and had no
special significance.

CHAPTER XX.
Back of the Line Peacefulness.
It was 7 o'clock in the morning
of a Godly and beautiful day when
we set out from Trammecourt for
Arras. Arras, that town so famous
now in British history and in the an
nals of this war. had been one of our
principal objectives from the outset,
but we had not known when we were
to see it. Arras had been the pivot
of the great northern drive in the
sorine the drive that Hindenburg
had fondly supposed he had spoiled
by his "strategic" retreat in the region
of the Somme, begun just before the
British and the French were ready to
attack. .
What a bonnie morning that was, to
be sure I The sun was out, after some
rainy days, and glad we all were to
see it. The land was sprayed with
silver light; the air was as sweet and
as soft and as warm as a baby's
breath. And the cars seemed to leap
forward, as if they, too, loved the
day and the air. They ate up the
road. They seemed to take hold ot
its long, smooth surface they are
grand roads, over yon, in France
and reel it up in underneath their
wheels as if it were a tape.
This time we did little stopping, no
matter how good the reason looked.
We went hurtling through villages
and towns we had not seen before.
Our horn and our siren shrieked a
warning as we shot through. And
it seemed wrong. They looked so
peaceful , and so quiet, did those
trench towns, on that summers
morning! Peaceful, aye, and languor
ous, after all the bustle and haste we
had been seeing, ihe houses were
set in pretty encasements of bright
foliage, and they looked as though
they had been painted against the
background of the landscape with
water colors.
It was hard to believe that war had
passed that way. It had; there were
traces everywhere of its grim visita
tion. But here its heavy hand had
been laid lightly upon town and vil
lage. It was as if a wave of poison
gas of the sort the Germans brought
into war had been turned aside by a
friendly breeze, arising in the very
nick of time. Little harm had been
done along the road we traveled. But
the thunder of the guns was always,
in our tears; we c,ould hear the steady,
throbbing rhythm of the cannon,
muttering away to the north and
east.
It was very warm, and so, after a
time, as we passed through a village,
someone Hogge, I think suggested
that a bottle of ginger beer all around
would not be amiss. The idea
seemed to be regarded as an excellent
one, so Godfrey spoke to the chauf
feur beside him, and we stopped. Wc
had not known, at first, that there
were troops in town. But there were
rHighlanders. And they came
swarming out. I was recognized at
once.
"Well, here's old Harry Lauder!"
cried one braw laddie.
"Come on, Harry gie us a song!"
they shouted. "Let's' have 'Roamin' in
the Gloamin', Harry I Gie us the Bon
nie Lassie 1 We ha' na' heard 'The
Caddies Who Fought and Won,'
Harry. They tell us that's a braw
song!"
We were not really supposed to
give any roadside concerts that day,
but how was I to resist them? So we
pulled up into a tiny side street, just
off the market square, and I sang
several songs for them. We saved
time by not unlimbering the wee
piano, and I sang, without accompani
ment, standing up in the car. But
they seemed to be as well pleased as
though I had had the orchestra of a
big theater to support me, and all the
accompaniments and trappings of

Stfeals Four Sacks Flour;
Returns for Wheat Substituted
"There is honor among thieves,"
says an old saw.
There is a certain misdirected pa
triotism among them, to, as was
illustrated by the action of a burglar
who looted a Council Bluffs grocery
store.
The thief entered the store during
the night and stole four , sacks of
flour. This was more 1jian the quota
allowed by the food administration,
but the fellow, remembering the rule
to use substitutes, came back the next
night and helped himself to a five
pound allotment of corn meal.
He evidently came back for the corn
meal to ease his elastic conscience,
and square himself with the food ad
ministration. Aviators Raid Paris.
Paris, June 16. A group of enemy
kjrplanes last night crossed the battle
front and proceeded toward Paris. A
few bombs were dropped in the capi
tal finding several victims and do
ing some material damage.

the stage. They were very loath to
let me go, and I don't know how
much time we really saved by not
giving our full and regular program.
For, before I had done, they had me
telling stories, too. Captain Godfrey
was smiling, but he vas glancing at
his watch, too, and he nudged me, at
last, and made me realize that it was
time for us to go on, no matter how
interesting it might be to stay.
"I'll be good," I promised, with a
grin; as we drove on. We shall go
straight on to Arras now!"
But we did not. We met a bunch
of engineers on the road, after a
space, and they looked so wistful
when we told them we maun be get
ting right along, without stopping to
sing for them, that I had not the
heart to disappoint them. So we got
out the ee piano and I sang them a
few songs. It seemed to mean so
much to those boys along the roads!
I think they enjoyed the concerts
even more than did the great gather
ings that were assembled for me at
the rest camps. A concert was more
of a surprise for them, more of a treat.
The other laddies liked them, too
aye, they liked them fine. But they
would have been prepared, some
times; they would have been looking
forward to the fun. And the laddies
along the roads took them as a man
takes a Rrand bit of scenery, coming
before his eyes, suddenly, as he turns
a bend in the road he does not ken.
As for myself, I felt that I was
becoming itiite a proficient open-air
performer by now. My voice was
standing the strain of singing under
such novel and difficult conditions
much better than I had thought it
could. And I saw that I must be at
heart and by nature a minstrelt I
know I got more pleasure from those
concerts I gave as a minstrel wander
ing in France than did the soldiers
or any of those who heard mel
I have been before the public for
many years. Applause has always1
been sweet to me. It is to any artist,
and when one tells you it is not, you
may set it down in your hearts that
he or she is telling less than the truth.
It is the breath of life to us to know
that folks are pleased by what we do
for them. Why else would we go on
about our tasks? I have had much
GAINS 34 POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
Says She Had Given Up All
Hope of Ever Being Well
Again.
"Only a few months ago my condi
tion became so seriovls that I was ac
tually given up to die, but Tanlae
soon brought me up from my sick bed
and I have gained thirty-four pounds
since starting on it," was the remark
able statement made the other day by
Mrs. Annie Sawerbiery, who lives at
974 North Twenty-sixth street.
"My troubles started," she contin
ued, "with a disordered stomach that
brought on a terrible case of indiges
tion. I had no appetite at all and
what little I forced down would not
digest properly. My food did not
nourish me and in a little while I
lost thirty-eight pounds and was as
poor as a snake. I had rheumatism,
too, in my back and knees that af
fected me so I could hardly get
around. I suffered with awful pains
through my body and sometimes the
agony was so great that I could hard
ly stand it, and I never knew what it
was to have a restful night. I got so
bad off that as a last resort I was
taken to a hospital for an operation,
but after an examination I was told
that nothing could be done for me
and that I couldn't live over three
months longer. I was taken back
home and really never expected to
leave my bed again.
"My husband had spent a big sum
of money in trying to get my health
restored, but nothing did me any
good. Finally, on hearing Tanlac
praised so highly by many who .had
taken it, I decided to see if it would
help me any and sent for a bottle.
Well, sir, Tanlac took hold of my case
as if it had been made especially for
mc and the results have been little
short of a miracle, for here I am able
to walk about and even go to town
to get me another bottle of this won
derful medicine. My appetite picked
up almost from the start and I can
now eat and thoroughly digest any
thing I warft. I feel no aches nor
nains of any kind, I sleep all night
like' a baby and feel just fine when
I get up in the morning. I have re
gained almost all my lost weight and
am so much stronger that I am actu
ally doing all my housework, without
any trouble at all. I am satisfied
that Tanlac has given me a new lease
of life and I cannot praise it too high
ly for the good it has done me."

For Itching Torture
There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo. which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pirn
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most casei
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a sate,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to. use and
dependable. It costs only 35c; an extr?
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain. i:

applause. I have had many honors.
I have told you about that great and
overwhelming reception that greeted
me when I sailed into Sydney har
bor. In Britain, in America, I have
had greetings that have brought tears
into my eye and such a lump into my
throat that until it had gone down I
could not sing or say a word of
thanks.
But never has applause sounded so
sweet to me as it did along those
dusty roads in France, with the pop
pies gleaming red and the corn-flowers
blue through the yellow fields of
grain beside the roads! They cheered
me, do you ken those tired and
dusty heroes of Britain along the
French roads I They cheered as they
squatted down in a circle about us,
me in my kilt, and Johnson tinkling
away as if his very life depended upon
it, at his wee piano! Ah, those won
derful, wonderful soldiers!. The tears
come into my eyes, and my heart is
sore and heavy within me when I
think that mine was the last voice
many of them ever heard lifted in
song! They were on their way to the
trenches, so many of those laddies
who stopped for a song along the
road. And when men are going into
the trenches they know, and all who
see them passing know, that some
there are who will never come out.
Despite all the interruptions.

though, it was not much after noon
when wc reached Blangy. Here, in
that suburb of Arras, were the head
quarters of the Ninth division, and as
I stepped out of the car I thrilled to
the knowledge that I was treading
ground forever to he famous as the
starting-point of the Highland bri
gade in the attack of April 9. 1917.
And now 1 saw Arras, and, for the
first time, a town that had been sys
tematically and ruthlessly shelled.
There are no words in any tongue I
know to give you a fitting picture of
the devastation of Arras. "Awful" is
a puny word, a thin one, a ficble one.
I pick impotently at the coverlid of
my imagination when I try to frame
language to make you understand
what it was I saw when I came to
Arras on that bright Tune day.
I think the old city of Arras should
never be rebuilt. I doubt if it can
be rebuilt, indeed. But I think that,
whether or no, a golden fence should
be built around it, and it should for
ever and for all time be preserved as
a monument to the wanton wicked
ness of the Hun. It should serve and
stand, in its stark desolation, as a
tribute, dedicated to the Kultur of i
Germany. No painter could depict
the rightfulness of that city of the
dead. No camera could make you sec
as it is. Only your eyes can do that
for you. And even then you cannot
realize it all at once. Your eyes are
more merciful than the truth and the
Hun.
The Germans shell Arras long after
there was any military reason for do
ing so. The sheer, wanton love of
destruction must have moved them.
They had destroyed its military use
fulness, but still they poured shot and
shell into the town. I went through
its streets the Germans had Leen
pushed back so far by then that the
city was no longer under steady fire.
But they had done their workl

Steel Granaries Eliminate
Waste and Boost Conservation
Statisticians in the employ of the
federal government estimate there is
a waste of food wealth in small grains,
such as-wheat, corn and oats, of over
$100,000,000 annually.
This is a sum greater than will be
realized by the farmers of Nebraska
for their 50,000,000 bushel wheat crop
this year, and the waste is due to the
raids on granaries and bins of rats
and other destructive vermin.
Then there is another scourge of
waste due to the heating of small
grains in poorly ventilated granaries,
and to the ravages of weevils and
other insects in granaries which arc
not air-tight and which cannot be
fumigated.
The Nebraska & Iowa Steel Tank
company of Omaha is engaged in a
conservation movement which has for
its object the elimination of this
gaste, and only awaits the co-operation
of all the farmers p.f the middle
west to make the movement success
ful. The company manufactures portable
steel granaries which are rat and ver

one could have lived then. The
houses had been smashed to pieces
The pavements were dust and rubble.
But there was life in the city.
Through the ruins our men moved as
ceaselessly and as restlessly as the
tenants of an ant hill suddenly up
turned by a plowshare. Soldiers were
everywhere, and guns guns, guns!
For Arras had a new importance now.
It was a center for many roads. Some,
of the most important supply roads
of this sector of the front converged
in Arras.
Trains of ammunition trucks, sup
ply carts and wagons of all sorts,'
Krcat trucks laden with jam and meat
and flour, all were passing jvery mo
ment. There was an incessant din of
horses' feet and the steady crunch
crunch of heavy boots as the soldiers
marched through the rubble and the
brickdust. And I knew that all this
had gojie on while the town was still
under tire. Indeed, even now, an oc
casional shell from some huge gun
came crashing into the town, and
there would be a new cloud of dust
arising to mark its landing, a new
collapse of some weakened wall.
Warning signs were everywhere
about, bidding all who saw them to

beware of the imminent collapse of

I saw what the Germans had left of
the stately old Cathedral, and of the
famous Cloth Hall one of the very
finest examples of the guild halls of i
medieval times. Goths Vandals '
no, it is unfair to seek such names
for the Germans. They have estab
lished themselves as the masters of ;
all time in brutality and in destruc
tion. There is no need to call them -anything
but Germans. The Cloth
Hall was almost human in its pitiful
appeal to the senses and the imagin- '
ation. The German fire had picked
it to pieces,' so that it stood in a stark
outline, like some carcase picked bare
by a Vulture. .
Our soldiers who were quartered
nearby lived outside the town in huts.
They were the men of the Highland
Brigade, and the ones I had hoped
and wished, above all others, to meet
when I ame to France. They re
ceived our party with the greatest
enthusiasm, and they were especially
flattering when they greeted me. One .
of the Highland officers took me in
hand immediately, to show me the
