' FORWARDS
May Ask Legislature to Ap
propriate $135,000 for Up
keep of State Troops if
; Congress Gives Support. "
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 3. The sum of
$135,000 will be asked as an appro
priation to rehabilitate the Nebras
ka National Guard, providing con
gress makes the necessary provision
for its support by the federal gov
ernment. Announcement was made today
by' Governor McKclvie, following a
conference with Adjutant General
J I., J. Paul, who has just returned
from overseas service. Col. J. A.
Storch of Fullerton, who has been
acting adjutant general pending
Paul's arrival, was also present at
the interview and concurred in the
recommendation'.
If congress makes federal funds
available for National Guard main
tenance, the state must have organ
izations with a total membership of
4,800 men in order to secure its
share.- This will make it necessary
to, organize two regiments, with
probably some independent com
panies like the signal corps and the
sanitary troops. Should congress
not do its part, Governor McKelvie
does not think it advisable for the
state to attempt to keep up the Na
tional Guard by itself.
Governor McKclvie has not fully
decided on the amount he would
ask the legislature to set aside for
prohibition enforcement during the
next two years.
New Civil Code Bill,
in Printed Form, Now
Ready for Consideration
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln,' .March 3. (Special.)
The McKclvie civil administrative
code bill a volume of 512 pages is
back from the printer and is in the
hands of the secretary of the senate.
The bill is now rtady to be referred
to a senate Committee, or to several
committees, for public hearing.
All bills passed by both branches
of the legislature affecting any sec
tion of the present statutes will be
held in abeyance by the officials
of the two houses until after the
code bill is disposed of. If the bills
passed are in harmony with the
provisions of the code bill they will
then be drafted into the code bill.
If not, they will automatically be
indefinitely postponed.
Lieutenant Governor P. A. Bar
rows said he did not know how the
bill will be handled for public hear-':
ings. The proper method, he be
lieves, would be to divide the bill
into six sections and refer a sepa
rate part of the bill to each of six
different committee's.' Mr. Barrows
is of the opinion the-entire bill will
have to be given over to one com
mittee for consideration.

Spiritualistic Marriage
Broken by Materialistic

Wealthy Chicago Pythagoras No. 2 Separates From

Trying to Locate Whereabouts of Heaven.
San Francsico, March 3. A ro
mance that had its birth with the
study of the occult in Los Angeles
has been shattered at the Golden
Gate because the ideals of the prin
cipals could not be squared with the
earthly things of life.
The climax to a yeu- of marital
happiness delving into psychology
and philosophy of life came hert
Saturday with the filing of an annul
ment suit by George Joseph Taylor,
philosopher, lecturer and writer,
against Marie Zentgraf Taylor, stu
dent of the occult and heiress to a
million dollars from the estate of
her father, William Zentgraf, New
York banker.
A hit: -i 1 tit :
n ivuaiijaiwjicu iwmiidgc.
In explanation Taylor said:
"Our marriage was a mismatch.
There were obligations on both
sides which neither coild carry out.
We decided rather than to hamper
the careers of either that it were
best to separate. There is to be no
breaking off of our spiritual rela
tions." Their discovery came in the midst
of Taylor's studies and attempts to
define and place the whereabSuts of
heaven.
Taylor and his bride had come up
from Los Angeles on an automobile
trip around the world, tiieir object.
being chiefly to visit India and
Egypt and there study the teach
ings of the ancicnivmasters and peer
behind the veil in the age-old tem
ples of the mystics.
Overcome by the , Materialistic
things of life as they were about to
take passage on a steamer o the
orient, Taylor and his brid" he says,
came to a realization that it would
be better for both to separate here
rather than among strangers.
Crimp in Activities .
of Independent Men
in Market for Cream
From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, March 3. (Special.)
"Concentration" cream-buying sta
tions must deduct from the purchase
price of cream the cost of shipping
the cream to a central market, ac
cording to an opinion by Attorney
General C. A. Davis, in reply to an
inquiry by Charles A. Goss of the
City National bank of Omaha. This
forbids the many cream stations
over the state classed as "concen
tration" centers from paying the
market price at a central market to
producers of cream.
Independent buyers, Mr. Pavis
says, cannot buy cream from pro
ducers at any price and then auction
it to the butter manufacturer. The
law, according to Mr. Davis, was
passed for the protection of the pro
ducer, who should be paid a uniform
price for the cream.

Lemons Beautify!
Strain lemon Juice well before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.
Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric con
ditions. Wind-chafe, roughness, tan
and redness are . warded off and
those tell-tale lines of care or of age
are softened away.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white,
makes a whole quarter pint of the
most remarkable lemon skin beauti
fier at about the cost one must pay
for a small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to
strain the lemon juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon puln gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. -Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tif;er. Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands, and see for your
self. Adv.

STATE AGENTS
N THE LAW,
SAYSTOLVIE
Governor Does Not Deem it
Necessary to Make Further
Investigation of Mil
lard Episode.
By a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, March 3. (Special.)
Governor McKelvie does not think
the situation at Millard, where sev
eral state prohibition agents were
defied by angry men with guns
last week, is such that it calls for a
special investigation. Reports of the
affair, which he received from Chief
Prohibition Officer Gus Hyers and
Special Prosecutor Holland say that
the agents acted in the manner pro
vided by the law and that no
serious trouble resulted.
"There has been more publicity
about this matter than the facts
warrant," said the governor, "and
the press has been giving undue en
couragement to the opposition to
law enforcement. Even at that, if
the people would read the subject
matter more carefully and pay less
attention to the headlines they
would get a better idea -of what
actually took place."
An Omaha newspaper published
a picture of "the minute men of
Millard" in its Sunday issue, show
ing four men armed and ready for
business. Their names were also
given. Governor McKelvie said he
had information that three of these
men have been convicted of boot
legging and the fourth is the mail
carrier from whom state agents as
sert they retrieved about 40 pints of
liquor in last week's episode.
As to posting up a notice on the
door of the house- where one of the
men lived, the governor says the
facts have been misrepresented.
Section 42 of the prohibition law,
he says, requires this notice to be
tacked up when the person sought
is not on the premises. It is the
minute men and the family living
there, not the state agents, who have
refused to let the notice be taken
down, Chief Hyers reported. f

GOVERNOR SAYS
"PRIVATE WIRES"
ARE Oil DEAD LINE
McKelvie Writes Letter to
Senator Hitchcock's Secre
tary, Informing Him a
Change Has Taken Place. '
When Governor McKelvie re
ceived a letter from Senator Hitch
cock's secretary, advising him to
"keep in touch with this (the sena
tor's) office," he made the following
reply:
I certainly apologize to you for
having been so delinquent in answer
ing your letter of February 13. I do
not want you to feel that I over
looked your injunction to "Keep in
touch with this office and you will
be of more service to the people of
the state than by keeping solely in
touch with some offices I could men
tion."
Taking your own word for it, ac
cording to newspaper reports, that
I did not even know how to find the
capitol when I got down to Wash
ington, I think you will pardon me
for not being able to find the office
of the senior senator from Nebras
ka, unless it might be assumed that
I could have more easily located
the latter by not going to the capitol.
"Small Town Fellow."
In writing me, I would suggest
that you keep in mind that I am a
small-town fellow and am entitled to
some charity on that account. I
think it was O. Henry who said that
"You can take a boy out of the
country, but it is hard to take the
country out of the boy," and J claim
to be no exception to that truism.
I did, however, immediately upon
my arrival in Washington, succeed
in having a conference with Secre
tary Baker, and during th. time I
was there I succeeded in locating
the office of the provost marshal
general, the Department of Com
merce, the office of S:nator Norn's,
the house of representatives cham
ber (where I visited Mr. Sloan), the
surgeon general's office and the
Department of Justice. Considering

By the way, I note that you filled
the shoes of Arthur Mullen in a

the honor thus conferred. If you are
to continue to act in that capacity,
you may be interested in knowing
that the private wires, which seemed
to have connected the office of that
estimable gentleman with this of

been placed on the dead line, so
your duties to that extent will be
less trying and arduous.
All of which is by way of pleas

Farmers' Union Wants Voice
in Omaha Grain Exchange
Lincoln. March 3. (Special.)
Some of the rural members of the
legislature are making a canvass
with a view to getting H. R. No.
345, the bill compelling the Omaha
grain exchange to admit farmers'
co-operative organizations to its
membership, brought out over the
head of the committee on manufac
tures and commerce, if it should re
port the bill for indefinite post
ponment, as it is expected to do.
This measure has been the cen
ter of a spirited fight between the
grain exqhange and the farmers'
union. It was prepared and intro
duced on behalf of the latter or
ganization and one of the big fights
of the session is likely to develop
over it.
