convention of county clerks, regis
ter of deeds, commissioners, su
pervisors and highway commission
ers at the Hotel Castle yesterday of
the work being done on state roads
and of the aid the state is giving to
each county.
"Every county In the state will
have, state aid on roads next year,"
' he said. "The state department now
has 220 trucks and SO tractors re
ceived from the federal government.
We cannot sell these but will rent
a truck to any county at one-fourth
of the purchase price After paying
tin's rent for four years the county
simply stops paying rent, though ti
tleto the truck remains with the
state.
"The idea is to use this rent as a
sort of sinking fund with which each
county can buy a new truck when
,the old one-is paid out. The -state
will maintain a supply of repairs
.'. which will be sold at cost." -Citizenship
Regulations.

ber of steropticon pictures ot state

Needy Children" to "
Get Shoes, Although
i l Schools Are Closed
The Bee shoe fund is not to be
neglected, although the schools are
not m session, ine present situa
tion emphasizes the real importance
of this fund, according to a state
ment yesterday by J. B. Carver, pub
lie school attendance officer, who is
working in behalf of boys and girls
who need shoes.
Notice is given that children in
need of shoes should apply to Mr.
Carver's office, sixth' floor of .city
hall, on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday afternoons, between 2:30 and
3:30. Each child must bring a note
! from parents, showing name of
father, place of his employment,
amount of wages lie receives ana
the number of children in the fami
ly. A "committee of teachers will
be on hand during the hours indi
, cated to see that needy f bildren ob
; tain shoes. -
A typical case of distress this
' Vttk was a barber who has been
funable to work for seven weeks. His
. financial plight was sad. Four of
his children of school age appeared
V at Mr. Carver's office, the feet of
' each child showing through hose
. and shoes. They were given four
pairs of new shoes.
"Thi is a worthy work and I feel
' sure that the people of Omaha will
support the fund to help children
keep their feet from the ground,"
said Mr. Carver.

STATE COMMITTEE
TO BE SILENT AT
NEXT PRIMARIES
Republicans Party Demands
Freedom of Choice of '
..' Candidates.
Chairman R. W. Devoe of the re
publican state central committee,
has issued the following statement:
"I deem it advisable at this time to
announce that the republican state
central committee will not, directly
or indirectly, narticioate in any way
lor or against any candidate for of-
hce, national, state or couqiy in uie
coming primary election. The posi
tion of the committee in reference
to this matter is based upon the fol
lowing propositions:
"A political party is a body of
erector united in opinion for pro
moting, - by their joint endeavors,
the state and national 'interest in
harmony with principles adopted by
them. In-order to present . these
principfes to the electors at large the
party sets up its party organization
composed of various committees. It
also, at the primaries, selects from
its own membership, as candidates
for office, men- who are in harmony
with these principles.
"Both the formation of the party
organization and the selection of
candidates in the primary are pe
culiarly functions of the party as a
whole. Party democracy demands
the utmost freedom of choice in
both instances 1y the rank and file
of the party. ' . . .
'When the party organization
seeks to dictate or select candidates
it. violates these fundamental prin
ciples upon which party organization
is builded."

v
Health Broke Down and He
Suffered TerriblyTanlac,
Overcomes Trouble. '
- "Ever since taking Tanlac I feel
so fine that I want everybody to
know what a wonderful -medicine it
is," said James R. Carson, of 2814
Izard street, Omaha, Neb.
"When my health broke lown
some time ago," he continued, "I
lost my appetite and the little I did
manage to force down seemed to do
me no good. My food would sour
on my stomach and cause ne so
much distress that I hardly ever
saw a well day. . I was badly con
stipated and also suffered agojnies
from neuralgia in my face and my
shoulders ached so bad I felt likeJ
it would drive me distracted. I was
so nervous and restless that I could
hardly sleep and when I would get
up in the mornings I felt as tired
as when I went to bed and would
be miserable all day long. I lost
twenty pounds . and though I was
constantly taking some kind of med
icie I got worse instead of better.,
"When I raad so much about the
good Tanlac was doing I decided
to get a bottle. My appetite picked
up right after the first few doses,
and it wasn't long before I could
eat anything and as much as I
wanted. . Tanlac has toned up my
whole system and I never have any
trouble with 'indigestion, and I am
taking on weight every day. Those
awful pains I had in my face and
shoulders are all gone. I am re
lieved of constipation, I sleep like a
baby all night and get up in the
mornings ready for my work. Tan
lac, has fixed me tip all right and I
am glad to recommend it."
