H. G. Taylor
Republican Candidate
for Re-election to a sec
ond terra as
State
Railway
Commissioner
, MOMENTOUS PROBLEMS. No man is wise enough
to forecast the economic consequences of this war. Rail
road rates and service, due to the war, are in a state of
chaos. Constructive action by those experienced in
railroad operation and regulation is imperative if the
rights of the public are to be protected. Mr. Taylor's
experience is, therefore, invaluable at this particular
time. He is in the prime of life, has demonstrated nat
ural ability for the work of regulation, has been courag
eous and honest in the performance of the trying duties
of his office, and is deserving of re-election.
HE SOLICITS YOUR SUPPORT.
TO THE VOTERS OF NEBRASKA:
Political considerations should not affect your vote
on Railway Commissioner. Experience, ability, indus
try, courage and integrity should be the controlling fac
tors. Four years service with Mr. H. G. Taylor, Repub
lican Candidate for re-election on the State Railway
Commission, convinced me of his ability to measure up to
the highest standard in every respect.
Men of his standards and experience are needed
to help solve the difficult questions of reconstruction
which will follow the war. I recommend him unreserv
edly and without qualification.
HENRY T. CLARKE,
, Former. Chairman Stats Railway Commission.
Mrs. Henry Fined $100 and
Costs on Liquor Charge
A man who gave the name ofl
Dunn, called at the home of Mrs. A.

Wednesday afternoon and after
renting a furnished room, asked
Mrs. Henry to cajl at the Burling
ton depot and have his trunk trans
ferred to the Union Station, accord
ing to her testimony in police court
Friday. Mrs. Henry did as request
ed, and a short time later the trunk
was delivered at her home, accom
panied by an officer from the De
partment of Justice, who placed
Mrs. Henry under arrest on a
charge of owning liquor contrary to
law. The trunk was found to con
ta.'.i 55 pints of whisky and two
quarts of brandy.
Mrs. Henry was fined $100 and
costs in police court Friday morn
ing. Dunn has not been heard of
since renting the room.

Go Easy on Sugar Increase,
is Warning of Food Heads
While there has been a -change in
food administration rules and con
sumers are permitted to buy sugar
at the rate of three pounds per per
son per month, Federal Food Ad
ministrator Wattles and County
Food Administrator Allen join in
an appeal to the public, urging
householders not to swamp the gro
cers with orders.
They assert that indications are
that there is plenty of sugar in the
country, but add that there might
be a temporary shortage in the
event consumers should rush to
their grocers and all buy the addi
tional quantity provided for under
the new regulations. Grocers are
asked to use descretion in selling
and are urged to hold customers
down to reasonable purchases un
til the jobbers obtain their surplus
stocks.

without reducing the weight or nourishment of the food,
as in the case of frying all of which our demonstrator
will explain. Prices and equipment as follows
