M'KELVIE WILL
HELP FARMERS TO
SOLVEPROBLEMS
In Reply to Query Candidate
for Governor Tells Stand
on Social Welfare
Problems. ... ,
n In reply to a query from C. A. Mc-
Leod of Stanton, Neb., concerning
the stand taken by S. R. , Mcrtelvie,
republican candidate for governor, on
economical and social welfare prob
lems that affect the farmer, Mr. Mc
Kelvie said:
"First; If elected governor. I shall
call into conference the duly author
. ized representatives of all the leading
t farmers' .organizations in the state
before formulating a program of rec
ommendations to be made to the leg
islature, t
"Second: In making 'appointments
to positions that are related to agri
culture, I shall deem it my duty to
select men whose experience and suc
cess in farming insure a knowledge of
"and sympathy with the things .that
are most important to that industry.
"The platform adopted by Ne
braska republicans at the annual con
vention which was held recently
. contained .this plank: 'We commend
the co-operative efforts of our farm
ers in securing a-more economical
distribution of their products, and we
promise them our support.' Not only
do I endorse that statement, but I
. would add that I will support and
approve any legislation that tends to
. aid and encourage co-operative efforts
among farmers.
"My sincerity of purpose in these
matters has long since been con
firmed by the position I have always
maintained regarding them in my
farm paper.
"Furthermore, my training and life
time association have been so closely
allied with Nebraska farming that I
must know "what. the farmers prob
lems are. I was born and reared on
a Nebraska farm and my people live
there today. I am interested in the
ownership and operation of a Ne
braska farm at this time, and I have
no business interests or investments
that are not immediately associated
, with farming."

Bernice 'Kalhorn Dies of

Bernice Kalhorn, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. Kalhorn, 3916 U street,
died in the South Omaha hospital
Sunday night from burns received in
the afternoon.
. The 4-year-old girl was playing
in the yard Sunday afternoon and in
some mysterious manner her clothes
caught on fire. Her screams brought
her parents into the yard, where the
mother made a desperate attempt to
smother the flames. The little child,
her body badly charred, was rushed to
the hospital, but died the same day.
No cause can be learned of the
origin of the fire. No fire of any kind
was in the yard and the parents are
of the opinion that she was playing
with matches. '
Mrs. Kalhorn was badly burned
about the hands and arms and was
taken to the South Side hospital.

"TAPTER XI.
Santa Claus Arrives.
IT WAS not long after this that Mr.
Smith found a tall, gray-haired
man, witrr gray eyes, talking with Mrs.
Jane Blaisdell and Mellicent in the
front room over the grocery store.
"Well" began Mr. Smith, a joyful
light of recognition in his eyes. Then
suddenly he stooped and picked up
something from the floor. When he
Came upright his face was very red.
He did not look at the tall, gray
haired man again as he advanced into
the room.
Merlicent turned to him, eagerly.
"Oh, Mr. Smith, it's the lawyer
he'some. And it's true. It is true!"
"This. is Mr. Smith, Mr. Norton,"
murmured Mrs. Jane Blaisdell to the
keen-eyed man, who also, for no ap
parent reason, had grown very red.
"Mr. Smith' a Blaisdell. too distant,
you know. He's doing a Blaisdell
book."
"Indeed! How interesting. How
are you, Mr. Smith?" The lawyer
smiled and held out his hand, but
there was an odd constraint ,in his
manner. "So you're a Blaisdell, too,
are you?"
"Er yes," said Mr. Smith, smiling
straight into the lawyer's eyes.
"But not near enough to come in
on the money, of course" explained
Mrs Jane. "He isn't a Hillerton Blais
dell. He's just boarding here while
he writes his book."
"Oh I see. So he isn't near enough
to come in on the money." This
time it was the lawyer who was smil
ing straight into Mr. Smith's eyes.
But he did not smile for long. A
sudden question from Mellicent
seemed to freeze tfie smile on his
lips.
"Mr. Norton, please, what was Mr.
Stanley G. Fuln like?" she begged.
"Why er you must have seen his
pictures in the papers," stammered
the lawyer.
"Yes, what was he like? Do tell
us," urged Mr. Smith, with a bland
smr'e, as he seated himself.
"Why er ." The lawyer came to
a still more unhappy pause.
"Of course we've Ven his pictures,"
broke in Mellicent. "but those don't
tell us anything. And you knew h'm.
So won't you tell us what he was like,
please, while we're waiting for father
to come up? Was he nice and jolly,
or was he stiff and haughty? What
was he like"
"Yes, what was he like?" coaxed
Mr. Smith again. Mr. Smith, for
some reason, seemed to be highly
amused.
The lawyer lifted his head sudden
ly. An odd flash came into his eyes.
"Like? Oh, just an ordinary man.
you know somewhat conceited, of
course " (A queer little half-gasp
came from Mr. Smith, but the lawyer
was not looking at Mr. Smith.) "Ec
centricyou've heard that, probably.
And he has done crazy things, and no
mistake. Of course, with his money
and position we won't exactly say he
had bats in his belfry isn't that what
they call it? but "
Mr. Smith gave a real gasp this
time, and Mrs. Jane Blaisdell ejacu
lated: "There, 'I told you so! I knew
something was wrong. And now
he'll come back and claim the money.
You see if he don't! And if we've
gone, and spent any of it" A ges
ture of despair finished her sentence
"Give yourself no uneasiness on
that score, madam," the lawyer as
lured her gravely. "I think I can
A SHAMPOO WORTH TRY KG
It is not necessary to shampoo"-your
hair so frequently if it is entirely
and properly cleansed each time by
the use of a really good shampoo.
The easiest to use and quickest dry
ing shampoo that we ' can recom
mend to our readers is one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense, by dissolving a tea
sooonful of Canthrox", which can be
obtained from any druggist, in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just to the top of the head.
This, when rubbed into the scalp and
onto every strand of hair, chemically
dissolves all impurities. It is very
soothing and cooling in its action, as
well as beneficial to both scalp and
hair. After rinsing out the lather so
created, you will find the scalp is
fresh, clean and free from dandruff,
while the hair dries quickly and even
ly, develoning a bright luster and a
soft fluffiness that makes it seem
very heavy. Adv.

"Then you think he's dead?"
"I did not say that, madam. I said
I was very sure he would not come
back and claim this money that is tp
be paid over to your husband and his
brother and jister. Dead or alive, he
has no further power over that money
now.".
"Oh-hl" breathed Melliccnt. "Then
it is ours!" -v
"It is yours, bowed the lawyer.
d.. if- c. :.u ..... .
But Mr. Smith says we've probably
got to pay a tax on it, ' thrust in Mrs.
Jane, in a worried voice. "Do you
know how much we'll have to pay?
And isn't there any way we can save
doing that?"
Before Mr. Norton could answer a
heavy step down the hall heralded
Mr. Frank Blaisdell's advance, and in
the ensuing confusion of his arrival.
Mr. Smith slipped away. As he passed
the , lawyer, however. Mellicent
thought she heard him mutter, "You
rascal!" But afterward she concluded
she must have been mistaken, for the
two men appeared to become at once
the best of friends.
Mr. Norton remained in town sev
eral daysand frequently she saw him
and Mr. Smith chatting pleasantly to
gether or starting off apparently for
a walk. Mellicent was very sure,
therefore, that she must have been
mistaken in think she had heard Mr.
Smith utter so remarkable an excla
mation as he left the room that first
day.
During the stay of Mr. Norton in
Hillerton, and for some days after
ward, the Blaisdells were too ab
sorbed in t"he mere details of acquir
ing and temporarily investing their
wealth to pay attention to anything
else. Under the guidance of Mr. Nor
ton, Mr. Robert Chalmers and the
heads of the two other Hillerton
banks, the three legatees set them
selves to the task of "fin,ding a place
to put it," as Miss Flora breathlessly
termed it.
Mrs. Hattie said that, for her part
she should like to leave their share
all m the bank; then she'd have it to
spend whenever she wanted it. She
yielded to the shocked protestations
of the others, however, and finally
consented that her husband should in
vest a large part of it in the bonds he
so vvanted, leaving a generous sum in
the bank in her own name. She was

assured that the bonds were just as
good as money, anyway, as they
were the kind that were readily con
vertible into cash.
Mrs. Jane, when she understood the
matter, was for investing every cent
of theirs where it would draw .he
largest interest possible. Mrs. Jane
had never before known very much
about interest and she was fascinated
with its delightful possibilities She
spent whole days joyfully figuring
percentages, and was awakened from
her l.appy absorption only by the un
pleasant realization that her husband
was not in sympathy with her ideas
at all. He said that the money was
his. not hers, and that for once in hi
life he was going to have his way.
"His way" in this case proved to be
the prompt buying out oi the compet
ing grocery on the other corner and
the establishing of a good sized bank
account. The rest of the money he
said Jane might invest for 100 per
cent if she vvanted to.
Jane was pleased to this extent and
asked if it were possible that she could
get such a splendid rate as 100 per
