M'KELVIE CALLS
OFF MEETING TO
DISCUSS H. G. L.
Says Question Should Be
Solved Economically by
People, and Not by
Legislators.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 14. Announc
ing in a letter to United States At
torney General A. Mitchell Palmer
that he had decided to postpone,
probably indefinitely, a conference
requested by Mr. Palmer between
'federal state and other officials on
the high cost of living problem, Gov.
Samuel R. McKelvie said there was
no way of telling "the amount of in
jury that has been done Nebraska
producers by the ill-advised agita
tion of those who would lead the
vountry to believe that it is possible
to effect an artificial regulation of
the laws of economy."
"I havetw doubt that the decline
in the price of hogs and corn has
cost Nebraska farmers at least $50,
000,000 and yet no benefit has ac
crued to the consumers because of
this decline," the governor wrote.
The conference was to have been
held here November 25 and the
governor's letter was in reply to a
telegram from Mr. Palmer asking
it the meeting could be postponed
until December 2 to permit his at
tendance. Answering Mr. Palmer's
inquiry, Governor McKelvie said
that "it rests largely with the peo
ple themselves to bring ahout a
more satisfactory condition in solv
ing the cost of living" and that he
thought it was becoming more and
nore apparent to the people that the
question of the high cost of living
is one that will be solved econom
ically and ti6t through the activities
of legislators or prosecutors."

M'KELVIE TELLS
WHY STATE WILL
HAVE NO GUARD
Cannot Raise 100 Men to
Company, He Writes
Secretary of War
Baker.
Lincoln, Nov. 14 (Special)
Governor McKelvie is getting just a
little impatient at the slow moving
War department, and, in answer to
a letter to him written by Secretary
of War Baker, he tells the latter
that Nebraska has Jieen trying for
a long time to reorganize the na
tional guard in this state, but that
the requirements placed upon the
companies makes it almost impossi
ble to get results. The War depart
ment requires 100 men to the com
pany. Governor McKelvie tells Mr. Bak
er that this is almost prohibitive In
this state because so many of the
companies come from small places
where it is impossible to find 100
men who can qualify under the reg
ulations now required. Going fur
ther the governor says:
.. "In the absence of a well organ
ized national guard, we have several
companies of home guards, who are
keeping themselves fit and ready for
emergencies. Also, we have an ade
quate number of men who have en
rolled for riot duty, under the call
of the state law enforcement de
partment. I think these forces will
handle any emergency that may
arise in this state, but we are not
relaxing our efforts to reorganize
the national guard. If the War de
partment could authorize an organ
ization of the guard on the former
basiof 65 men to the company, it
would be a very great help to us.
"Referring to ordnance, I may
say that requisitions were made up
on the War department for such
equipment several weeks ago, but
thus far no asknoweldgment has
been received. We are anxious that
this matter shall receive early attention."

Anti-Suffragists and
State Must Pay the
. Cost of Litigation
Lincoln, Nov. 14. (Special.)
The anti-suffragists and the state
each will be compelled to pay
M.713.83 costs taxed by the court,
according to certificate filed with
the secretary of state Friday.
The case is one tamiltar to parties
interested in the woman suffrage
movement in this state, which cul
minated in the passage of the 1917
legislature of a bill giving women
partial suffrage followed by the call
ing of a special session of the legis
lature which ratified the national
suffrage amendment.
The referendum was invoked by
the anti-suffrage people to revoke
the act of the 1917 session and peti
tions were filed. The suffragists at
tacked the petitions on the ground
that many ol tin." names were fraud
ulent. The ii strict court decided
against vthe anti-suffragists and
against the legality of the petition.
C. A. Sorenson, for the suffragists,
visited the attorney general and was
told the state would refuse to, join
with the anti-suffragists in an appeal
to the supreme court on the costs.
Secretary of State Amsbury says
that the state is ready to pay the
costs, if he can only discover what
fund they will ,,have to be taken
from.

Benson & Thome's Boys' Apparel "Always on the Top"
Isn't it fun to watch the boy's honest expression of pleasure when he gets something new? Recall
how he "puffs his chest" and swaggers when he's all dressed up in new clothes?
It's pride boyishly expressed, of course-but pride that it pays to encourage, for it means self-confidence
and makes it easier for him to do better and be better.
Let us outfit him well be very careful to please both you and him. Specializing in boys' neelis
means that we know how. Dress him well and watch him respond to the good example his clothes set
for him.
