ManyPromoters Attempt to
Sell Stocks in Violation of
Blue Sky Law; Hall
' Makes Statement.
Lincoln, .May 8. In an effort to
educate the people of the" state
against methods which are being
used to practicallyxyiolate the blue
sky law, Chairman T. L. Halt 0f the
State Railway commission this morn
ing issued the following statement:
"At this time an attempt is being
made to flood the state of Nebraska
with stocks and securities of a
doubtful nature and in practical vio
lation of the blue sky law. Adver
tising matter is being spread broad
cast by means of circulars, letters
and even through the press, solicit
ing mail orders in such a way that
the sale will be held to have tech
nically taken place outside of the
state and thus escaping the neces
sity of submitting to an examination
of the investment venture or the se
curing of a permit under the blue
sky law.
Urges Caution. '
"The utmost caution is urged in
making investments merely upon the
unproven word of stock salesmen

or the alluring statements of skil
fully worded advertisements. If the
offer is worthy one it will bear your
investigation ana tne investigation
of this commission. Why this eva
sion f wny naven t these comnan
ies a permit? They want Nebraska
money and Nebraskans as stock
holders. Why not comply with the
Nebraska law and secure a permit?
The answer is they won't bear in
vestigation.
Check Books.
Ihis commission sends expert
examiners to check the books and
inspect the properties of all appli
cants for permits, and if the exam
incr's report does not show a fair
prospect of success for the applicant
a permit is retused. ihe permit is
not a guaranty against loss, as a
continuance of sound and success
ful management cannot be insured,
but permit is a certificate as to the
essential soundness of the company
at tne time tne permit was issued.
"Co-operate with this commission
in enforcing the laws of this state
by insisting on seeing the state per
mit before you consider making an
investment. Wnen in doubt wheth
er or not the investment offered is
complying with the state law, inquire
ol this commission first.
Governor McKelvie Will
Discuss New Code Statute
Lincoln, May 8. On May 16, the
people of Omaha will have a chance
to hear a discussion on the matter
of a referendum on the code law,
Governor McKelvie appearing be
fore the labor union for a discussion
of the merits of the code bill.
One of the arguments made by
the opponents of the law is that it
is detrimental to labor. On the
other hand the governor proposes to
show the laboring people that it
favors them. y

AYERS HOLDS
BACK ANSWER TO
M'KELVIE DEFI
Democratic Agent. Who Is
Pushing Fight Against Code
Law Has Not Accepted
Challenge of Governor.
Lincoln, May 8. Fred C. Avers.
general promulgator of the plan of
tne democrats" to discredit the work
of a republican legislature by in
voking the referendum so that the
people will not have a chance to
try out the laws to see if they are
good, has not yet accepted the
challenge of Governor McKelvie to a
joint debate on the merits of the
administrative code law.
Mr. Ayes is willing to admit that
as a debater he is not in the same
class wth the governor and prob
ably recognizes the fact also that
the man who goes up against Gov.
Samuel Roy McKelvie-- in a joint
debate on the code bill has got to
have a reputation as a speaker,
scrapper in logic and a general
knowledge of the bill in genera).
Mr. Ayers will issue a statement
in a day or so in which he will
discuss the matter of a discussion
and probably attempt to switch the
anti side of the matter to some man
who knows more about the bill than
he does.
Anyway it is generally believed
that the man who takes on the gov
ernor in a debate of this kind has
a full-sized man's job on his hands
and that wherever the debate is
held the S. R. O. sign will have
to be put out early in the game.

BEATRICE GIRL DIES.

Vivian, the young daughter of
Mi. and Mrs. Herbert Bruce of
West Beatrice, died Wednesday
after a brief illness.
BULLSHEVIKI CONFECTIONERY.
OPENING your mail these fine war-taxed mornings is something like
. smoking a dynamite cigaretfcin a forest fire. The bullsheviki are
turning the parcel post into four-zoned arsenal. A yard and a half
of . bullsheviki confectionery bomb-bombs were discovered in . the
atrocity department of the New York postoffice. They were im
mediately popped into water, which is the worst insult yon can slip a
bullshevik. '
All the bomb-bombs were addressed to prominent citizens, which is
nothing unusual. Any citizen would feel prominent neara bomb. He'd
feel twice as prominent near two bombs.
Opening a love letter loaded with kisses and T. N. T. isa poor way
of spending the summer.
These bullshiviki tid-bits look very stylish until they're opened. Then
your relatives discover that the tid-bits were more bits than tid.
The best way to open a bundle of bullsheviki bomb-bombs is to let it
stay closed. If you don't, those chocolate coated hand grenades will
blow you right past 16 straw hat seasons into a No. t halo.
A halo makes a beautiful hatpiece and is about the only headgear
that a married man's wife doesn't assist him to pick out. Still, it's an
invalid zephyr that doesn't puff somebody good.
That bullshevik business of converting the parcel post into an am
munition train is going to discount curiosity on the part of fourth-class
postmasters. The gimlet-beaked bird w.ho pokes his nose into every
body's 3-cent-stamped business . is liable to do it once too numerous
and wake up in postmaster's hades.
That's the place wlhere all letters are written in low Zulu or garbled
Hottentot. They're eajsy to steam open, but hard to read, which is the
reason why it's hades for a postmaster. Easily.
Meals a La Blooey.
If the bullshevik idea is oerfected. the breakfast food birds will sell
us packages primed with trinitro-cellulose, happy brides will shimmy up
the aisle to the tune of a package of Chinese shooting crackers. Char
lotte russes will be equipped with fast burning fuses, and French pastry
will explode on contact. .
.
Surgeons will blast instead of operating and any grapefruit that fails
tn detonate will be a dud. If anv married couple live long enough to
get gray-haired, which is about three weeks under- the bullshevik dy
nasty, they will celebrate the nitro-glycerine anniversary of their wed
ding by strafing eath other with bouquets of T. N. T. mixed with dyna
mite blossoms. Life will be one? explosion after another with another in
between. There will be no excuse for carrying ear trumpets.
Puts the Dampers on Alimony.
The only flareback to the bullshevik method of packing love letters, is
that no jury will stay parked in a box while a halibut-eyed lawyer tries
to read Sweetie'? letter to Hon or Hon's epistles to Sweetie. A bomb
t,A with a Sahv blue ribbon is still a bomb. And a jury of 12 good men
just naturally hate to stroll through .the ceiling! and leave a jury of 12
good widows waiting for 'em to rattle home to a cold supper so that they
can knock the l good gents coiaer man tne supper.
Letter carriers will have to anchor off OVavesend bay with the other
ammunition boats, and no guy will approach a mail box until he is sure
that it isn't loaded. Any bird who gets a letter postage due will have to
stay in quarantine until the letter blows him out of it.
The Exit.
The only way out of the fine young dish of spaghetti that the bull
sheviki have tangled us up into is for Woody to sharpen up a 15th point
compelling everybody to write on postal cards. Then the world will
again be safe for prominent men and other democrats.

Give Dome of State. House
New Coat of Gold Paint
Lincoln, May 8. Two hundred
feet above the earth Thursday, a
man was gilding the ball on the top
of a flagstaff in front of the state
house a bright gold.
In "ye olden time" when the
democrats were in power in Ne
braska and William Jennings Bryan
was touring the country telling of,
the glories of free silver at a ratio
of 16 to one, the state administration
which was in sympathy with Mr.
Bryan had the dome of the state
house painted silver. No attempt
ha? been made since to change the
color of the dome, only that time
and the elements have made their
mark upon it just the same as they
have upon the free silver arguments
of the "Boy Orator of the Platte,"
and so Land Commissioner Dan
Swanson, who never fell for the 16
to one proposition, is gilding the big
ball on the top of the flagstaff a
bright golden color as an offset to
the dilapidated looking silver dome
or the old building.
Farm Hand Who Cut Throat

night, died Wednesday evening at a
local hospital. Hoboulek was de
spondent over ill health. He has
no relatives in this country. The
amount of personal property he had
has not been ascertained as a trunk
containing valuables has not been

checked from Solon, la.
Miss Bozena Drasky of Linwood,
nurse at the hospital, was made the
beneficiary in his will written early
Wednesday morning.

Attitude of Germans
Insulting, Declares .
Australian rremier
London, May 8. After the con
ference at Versailles yesterday, Wil
liam M. Hughes, premier of .Aus
tralia said, according to a Reuter
dispatch:
"The attitude of Count Von
Breckdorff-Rantzau was an intoler
able insult to the conference, for
Premier Clemenceau spoke stand
ing, the German spokesman did not
rise while making his address. In
spite of their intolerable arrogance
this has been a day of humiliation
for the Germans which we could
sc. had entered into their, souls."

New Zealand said: ';The Germans
were more impudent and aggressive
than anything I have ever met."

Build up for the Spring
' Attack! Put the body in
condition for an invasion
of the germs of grip, pneu
monia or "Spring fever.'
At this time of the year
most people suffer from a
condition often called
Spring Fever. They ' teel
tired, worn out, before the
day is half thru. They may
; have, frequent headaches
and sometimes "pimply"'
or pale skin and white lips.
The reason for this is that during the wintertime, shut up within
doors, eating too much meat and too little green vegetables, one
heaps fuel into the system which is not burned up and the clinkers
remain to poison the system a clogging up of the circulation '
with inactive liver and kidneys. Time to put your house in order.
For an invigorating tonic which will clarify the blood, put new life
in the body, sparkle to the eyes, and a wholesome skin, nothing-does
eo well as an herbal extract made from Blood and Stone root,' Oregon
grape root and Wild Cherry bark, which has been sold for the past
fifty yeafrs as pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By reason j
of the nerves feeding on the blood, when the blood is pure the nerves
feel the effect and neuralgia or other nerve pains disappear because
such pain is the cry of the starved nerves for food.
AUMam, Kant. "For a great many yean Dr. Pieree'a Golden Medical
Discovery has been our household remedy. In one instance expecially I found
it to be wonderful. When my boy was convalescing from scarlet fever he had
breaking out in blotches all over his body, face and limbs. One bottle of 'Golden
Medical Discovery' completely cleared up his skin and also proved a splendid
tonic. Personally I have found the 'Discovery' splendid for bronchial troubles
and catarrhal conditions." Mrs, M. E. Mills, 710 Atchison Si.
Melvern, Kant. "I was troubled with scrofula, in fact, I had it from infancy
up until I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which was when I was
fifteen years old. I took about fifteen or sixteen bottles of it and got entirely rid
of the disease. It has never returned since that time and I have often re com
mended thte 'Golden Medical Discovery to others." Mrt. Ida V. Wilton.'
