The week fixed by the governor is the date of a "drive" for $400,000, to be raised as Nebraska's part of a $35,000,000 fund-given by the United States to feed and clothe the desti tute in war-swept countries ofvEu rope, still suffering from the chaos that has followed the war itself. Throughout the country, the cam paign is non-sectarian. In Nebras ka as elsewhere, the committees in charge include prominent non-Jews, as well as representative Jewish peo ple. The Governors Proclamation. In his proclamation, Governor McKelvie says: To the people of Nebraska: - Peace has brought us prosperity and plenty, such as we nave not known before. "At the same time, millions of people abroad, who through years of warfare have suffered unparalleled misery, ruin, starvation and death, are now confronted, not with the prosperity we enjoy, but with ab ject misery. Heartrending, indeed, is the suffering and privation of mil lions of Jews of Poland, Galjcia, Roumania and other parts of war torn Europe and the east. Their condition stands out among the greatest horrors of history's most horrible war. "In the face of these terrible con ditions which threaten the extinc tion of an entire people, I call upon citizens of the state, without regard to creed or race, to lend their' aid in service and in money in behalf of those unfortunate people. "The Jewish people of Nebraska have answered generously and loy ally every call for patriotic and humane service, without ever ques tioning creed or denomination, and I am confident that the people of Nebraska will come forward gladly and generously in behalf of our stricken human brothers. "I therefore proclaim the week of September 15. 1919 to September 22, 1919 as Jewish War Relief Week and I urge every man and woman of our state to aid. in the fullest measure in behalf of this worthy cause. "SAMUEL R. M'KELVIE, "Governor." ' Situation is Critical. The critical situation which con fronts the destitute psople of Eu rope is pictured in f report by Henrv H. Rosenfelt. national direc tor of American Jewish War Relief committee. He says: "So long' as the war continued, anv movement arising out of war needs was secured with little diffi culty, the great popular support ac corded to all patriotic endeavors City vied with city and the state with state to put the drive over the top, With the coming of peace reaction was inevitable. The public became weary and critical "In the face of this situation, we are confronted with a need which in vastly increased indeed unparal leled. Suffice it to say that we see our brothers and sisters and our our stricken Jewish children in Poland, in Galicia, in Lithuania and elsewhere perishing of starva tion and disease. Now at least we (are permitted to send them food and Clothing to the extent ot our re sources and cargoes are failing , fre quently. These shipments involve' the expenditure of vast sums of money. We are requirel to make the most strenuous efforts to re plenish our depleted treasury if we hope to carry on our great human undertaking." ". " . According to reports of drives in other states, Louisiana has raised over $450,000 for Jewish relief this vear. Arizona has contributed $55,- 000, South Dakota $50,000 and other states, less populous than Nebraska, in proportion. Verse Tells Newsboys' Feelings Over Death Of 'Mogy Bernstein Many a tribute has been paid Mogy Bernstein since he was killed a week ago. Professional and busi ness men have praised the deeds ot the late "King of the Newsboys," but none of them expressed the sen timent of the newsies, the boys Mogy loved and who loved him so well as the following verse by S. Leonard Rodgers, 1803J4 North Twenty-fourth street, a clerk in the employ of Morris & Co.: I guess I won't peddle no papers today, 'Cause d. words kinds stick in me throat; I feel sorta mean to be yellin' dls way, Wld Mogy one it gets m. goat. Last winter it some kicks' When me feet snow. Dere wssn't no trouble dat Mogy wouldn't fix: Us newBles, we knew wher. to go. He saved me from jail when I swiped from a store. "Let me tend to Jimmy," he said. I told him I wouldn't be bad any more, And now, hully gee, Mogy's dead. 1 'member him limp'n along up de street, Wld a nod and a smile for us all; He knew every kid dat be happened to meet. Didn't matter how big or how small. Most folks wanta cuss when they hear us all right, Tellln' "Extry, right offa da press," But Mogy had a heart tor the newsies all right. 'Cause Mogy loved newsies, I guess. , i Bullard Funeral Services Wifl Be Held Sunday at 10 The funeral of William C. Bullard, who died Friday morning from a broken neck, sustained by a fall down the stairs in his home, will be held Sunday morning at 10 from his home, 700 North Fortieth street, with burial in Forest Lawn ceme tery. Rev. C. Edwin Brown, pastor of St. Martin's Episcopal church, will officiate. The pallbearers will be: Mayor Smith, W. A. Smith, D. P. Benedict, Edward Hampton, D. H. Christie and James Hannond. BuA the Mayor Never Had to .Eat Any of It In the Army "I had some of that army bacon which I bought- at the municipal store," remarked Mayor Smith. "How did you like it?" he was asked. "Well, I just want to tell you that it is all right. It is sticking to my ribs," he replied. , 9 Spartacan Outbreaks Occur In Several German Towns Berlin, Aug. 23. (Havas.) Spar tacan outbreaks have occurred in several large towns, according to . reports received here DENIES MILLERS OF THIS STATE ARE PROFITEERS Various .Investigations Will Unearth No Excess Profits, Declares Secretary of Association. "The various investigations in the high cost of living and actions of alleged profiteers, will find no excess profits among the Nebraska millers," stated J.( N. Campbell secretary of the Nebraska Miller's association, Grain Exchange building. "The milfing business has been under the direct supervision of the government for the past two years and will continue under federal rule until Tune 1. 1920. "The mills are paying premiums over the basic prjee for good wheat at Omaha. All through the state they are -taking less than what is indicated by usage, as fair buying margin on their wheat purchases. Sell Flour Cheaper. "On the other hand, considering quality of flour, size and kind of con tainers and weight of shipments, the mills are selling flour cheaper than the government is offering it. "Competition is very keen among the millers of Nebraska. Their troubles are increased by the inva sion ofhe state from one end to the other by the northern spring wheat mills trying to work off their sur plus straight flour under patent names and prices. "Under such conditions Nebras kans are not being gouged on flour values by the mills. Gronna's Claim Denied. "Senator Gronna recently stated that the mills are making high pat ent flour out of poor quality and cheap wheat. This statement of the senator is erroneous and impossible. "Poor wheat makes poor flour. A bushel of poor wheat does not make nearly as much flour as a bushel of good wheat. To make a market able product, a small quantity of poor wheat must be mixed with a large quantity of good wheat. The comparative values of the different grades of wheat have been worked out scientifically in the laboratories and the prices are gauged accord ingly. The federal bureaus of markets have established the differentials that should govern the purchase of the various grades of wheat to com pare with their value of flour-making. "I doubt if there is a mill in the entire state that is not paying more for the medium and high grades than the rules would require.

"The boys were arrested earlier in week while in the act of pillaging a desk in an office.. For this offense they were to be granted leniency at the hands of Judge Troup, but it was disclosed during the hearing in juvenile court yesterday that the youthful des peradoes were the perpetrators or the raid on Central school last mouth when all lockers and desks were pried open and robbed, rub bish strewn about halls and stair ways and fires set in several places about the building including one on top of the piano. The boys were accused of the crime when writing on the black boards in several school rooms stat ing, "This was done by blacknders," was recognized as the Diller boy's chirography. When confronted with the accu sation both boys admitted the deed, but expressed no sorrow for their act. Bertrand Diller has already served a term at Kearney and was released last December on parole. A hangout of the "gang," to which the youths belonged, at Twenty-fourth and Harney was raided a few days ago and was found to contain complete furnish ings although none of the goods have been identified as having been stolen. "Out of Supplies," Sign At City Grocery Store "Out of supplies.
