18 THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, JULY T. 1920 G. 0. P. NOMINEES DECIDE ON PLAN FOR CAMPAIGN Based "On Appeal to Restore Party Government as Con : stitutional Substitute for Personal Rule." " Washington, June .10. The re publican presidential campaign will be based "on appeal to restore party government as a constitutional sub stitute for personal government,' Senator Harding:, the party presiden tial candidate announced todav after a conference with Calvin CoolidRe, hi running mate, and Kitional Giriirman Will H. Hays At the same time Governor Cool idge, in a forma statement, declared that there must be "a rotu-n of pub lic opinion toward a s'lf-control bv ! the people, toward a great --nd over mastering desire to observe the law." Senator Harding's statement said: ' "Governor Coolidge breakfasted with me this morning md we have agreed that we will bae the cam paign on an appeal to restore party government as a constitutional sub stitute for personal government." i "The governor and I have each erved as lieutenant governor in our states and we both have learned from experience how possible it is for a second official in a state to be a helpful part in a party administra tion. I think the vice president hould be more than a mere sub stitute in waiting. In re-establishing co-ordination between the executive office and the senate the vice president can and ought to play a big part, and I have been telling Governor Coolidge how much I wish him to be not only a participant in the campaign, but how much I wish him to be a help ful part of a republican administra tion. The country needs the coun sel and becoming participation in the government of such men as Governor Coolidge." Governor Coolidge's statement follows: . "I am here to co-operate with my associate. We have many problems ahead. Many men have many remedies. The best remedy is the observance of the constitution and the laws, not their enforcement, mind you, I am not now speaking of that. Of course, the government will enforce the laws. That is far from enough. There must be a re turn of public opinion toward a self control by the people, toward a great and overmastering desire to observe the law. When that is done the other problems will fall away, there will be peace, prosper ity and progress." Lennox Dealers Are Found Guilty of Selling Rotten Eggs .Vermilion, Neb., June 30. It cost the two members of a mercantile firm in Lennox $133.04 a few days ago to sell rotten eggs. On com- laint of Inspector Briggs of the tate Food department, each mem ber of the firm was taken to the county seat at Canton and there fined the limit for a first conviction of violation of the state good egg law. In addition to the fine, each member was assessed costs of $16.52, making the total paid by the firm, $133.04. The evidence showed that the firm had been buying and selling eggs without candiing out the imperfect. Other dealers, one at Estelline, Colome, Winner and Carthage, were successfully prosecuted during Jthe last week for failure to properly candle eggs when bought. Another dealer at Carthage and one at Win ner paid fines for failure to se cure licenses to deal in eggs. A butcher at Garden City was taken before a justice at Clark and fined on complaint of Inspector Puder for conducting an insanitary market.

"Yes or no?" questions Norma, looking into the rose's heart. Her fu ture life's happiness depends on her answer. Back of her is safety and boredom. Before her the future is as baffling as the flower at which she is so earnestly gazing. Norma decides in "Yes or No," the picture at the Strand theater next week. Blanche Sweet in "The Deadlier Sex," is the feature picture at the Empress the rest of the week Blanche is Mary Willard, the own er of a railroad left her by her father. It's the old story of a girl who bucked Wall Street to save her father's property from an ig nominious end as part of another system, but it is somewhat different in that Blanche kidnaps the wily rail roader who is trying to absorb the property and teaches bin, a few things, next to nature in the great North woods. When his money availeth him not, he is in a sore plight indeed. Unaware that Blanche is his jailer, he falls in love with her and this creates more trouble when they both return to Essex Wins Mileage Honors in Dealers' Reliability Contest Essex performance during the na tional Essex week, seems to be uni formly good, according to numerous reports of gasoline mileage, hill climbs, and record runs being report ed by the factory and dealers to Guy L. Smith, local distributor. A recent telegram brines news that the Essex won the dealers' re liability rim at Sacremento, Califor nia, making the high average for gas oline,, oil and water. The distance traveled was 261 miles over the Si erra Nevada mountains. The Essex averaged 24 s miles to Hie gallon of gasoline.

Last Monday, the Essex made 3QYi miles on a gallon of gasoline and on Tuesday, Mon day's record was beaten by a re cord of 31.9 miles. Guy I.. Smith expects to bring this record up to 33 miles per gallon before the week is over. High winds have made conditions unfavorable on both the Monday and Tuesday runs.

For Boys Sleuth Bloodhounds. FLORA MERRILL. We bloodhounds have been con spicuous figures in history. We used to be known as "St. Huberts" and William the Conqueror was the first to take them into England. Nearly all we American bloodhounds are of the English strain. Perhaps it was the description of us in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which caused many people to think of us as bloodthirsty. We are, indeed, the great man-hunting dogs, but we are not ferocious, nor do we gobble people tip. It is our powerful sense of smell and our special talent for keeping to the one trail which makes us such good detectives. first we were used to run down slaves before the civil war. Slaves were continually running away, and the bloodhound proved to be the quickest and surest means by which to discover their hiding places. Now we frequently help to locate escaped convicts. Of course, we must be kept near the prison, as we cannot be expected to take up a scent many hours old. In crowded places, too. our efficiency is less, be cause there a scent is quickly con fused and lost. Given the open country, however, and a shorter in terval of time since the escape, and no human being can escape us. There is one other search to which we sometimes lend aid, and that is the finding of little children who become lost. The frightened parents and the mystified police alike can trust us. They realize that our name is misleading, and that we are really gentle creatures who want to justify the confidence that is placed iin us and tg be a hels to mankind. Gur Do(s SAYS LEAP YEAR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LICENSE INCREASE Clerk Stubbendorf States Girls Are Popping Question in Many Matches. "It's leap year!" That is the explanation offered by Marriage License Clerk Stubbendorf for an increase of nearly 40 per cent in the number of marriage licenses issued in Douglas county during the first six months of this year over the same period last year. "It's leap year and the ladies are taking advantage of it," he declared enthusiastically. "I'm for 'em. Judging by the folks that come in here, of both sexes, the fair sex classifies far higher than the other. 1 think the girls are better fitted mentally and by intuition to pick out the proper men to pay the rent and grocery bills than the men are to pick the girls. "Yes, sir, they've got the vote now and they're not going to be bound down by the ancient and obsolete custom which compels them to wait till some man asks them to marry him. That is a relic of the days of women's slavery. It's foolish and out-of-date." "Do any of them admit that thev popped the question?" he was asked "Some of them have done so, but 1 ni not the guy to give em away Some of the men have admitted it, too, and they seemed tickled to death over it. Said they didn't have the nerve to propose, although they wr.nted to." The figures are astonishing. In the first six months of 1919 there were 1,377 marriage licenses issued in this county. In the first eix months of this year there were 1.934 licenses issued, an increase of 557. This month also broke all records. At the close of business last night 394 licenses had been issued during June, with one day still to go. This is exactly the same number as were issued during the entire month of December, 1919, which was the rec ord month up to that t'rae. In the Douglas county divorce court there has been an increase, too. In the first six months of last year 476 divorce decrees were grant ed This year in the corresponding period 587 decrees of divorce were p?ssed out. I'M THE GUY! I'M THE GUY who invites you home to "take pot luck" with him without first consulting his wife. I tell you "she won't mind she'll be tickled to have you" even when I know she may treat you as if you had the plague and will raise the roof after you've gone. I don't see why I should ask her permission or even let her know I'm bringing a guest. She might say no. And I want you, and that ought to be enough. If she's all flustered because it happens to be a "pick up" meal, or because she didn't have time to plan the kind of a dinner SHE'D like to have, that doesn't annoy ME. She ought to be provi dent enough to always have plenty in the ice box. And if she's cranky toward you, you shouldn't mind. You're not HER guest, you're MINE. And I eniov vour visit if she doesn't.

Francis Rolt-Wheeler. "Seeing that we've got $550 in the treasury," said Jack, the camp gardener, "over and above the $2,000, I want to know if I can uraw on tnat money tor some ploughing." "What's the estimate?" asked Barton. "I knew you'd ask that, Dressy," was the answer, "so I brought it along. I figured to put 40 acres under crop and truck. It's all un broken land, but by hiring two tractors on four-share ploughs, we can do four acres a day. The cost is going to be in the disc-harrowing. I figure it's going to, cost us all of $200 just to get that land in shape and sow it." "Just for food for the camp?" "N no," said Jack, "10 acres would do for that, easy. I was fig uring on making a profit." "How?" "Well, the old chap from whom we rent the camp site said he's give us the land free if we turned five acres of sod into good worked field and, beside, he'd give $2 for ever' additional acre. That's $70. It's good land for potatoes, we've got the labor, a good road, and a truck for haulage. I'll be a bum gardener if I couldn't clear $50 an acre on potatoes." "You mean you could make $1,500 that way?" "I'd only try 20 acres, likely." Jack answered. "But we ought to make a thousand on it, easy." "Go to it, boy!" was the unani mous verdict, and Jack went off hrppily with an order on the camp treasury for $200 in his pocket. HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife How Mother Graham Swiftly Changed Her Attitude. I could not help a quick, furtive glance at my mother-in-law when Dicky so nonchalantly announced his responsibility for Major Grant land's idea of matching the bouquets he was nrovidins for the women of ' the wedding party to samples of ; their gowns. 1 knew better than to let her see me looking at her, nor (ltd I care to witness her discom- i fiiure. She had been so didactic in her disapproval of both the major and his scheme that at Dicky's an nouncement her dignity collapsed as if it had been a child's inflated toy balloon pricked with a pin. But if anyone fancied that her spirit remained crushed for more than a few seconds that person is not familiar with the resilence of Dicky's doughty parent. Her tone was actually triumphant as she ad dressed me. "I told you Grantland never would have thought of that all by himself," she said, and her air subtly conveyed the thought that she really approved the idea, but doubted the young officer's originality in the matter. "I know you did, mother,'" I said demurely. I saw Dicky glance at me quickly, shrewdly, caught a twinkle in his eye, and knew that by an intonation with which he was fa miliar I had succeeded in giving him an inkling of the true state of af fairs. "I'll warrant you did, mother," he laughed, then parried her possible answer by turning to me. Dicky Is Complacent. "Grantland is rather a novice when it comes to the eternal femi nine, and what will please her," he said complacently. "But he's a good fellow if he is raiier a stick. So I didn't register any kick when Alf told me that Grantland wanted to provide the wedding bouquets, all except Leila's, of course. Alf is driving his florist crazy trying to get just the kind and shade of blos soms he wants for her to carry. You'd think he was worth a billion at least instead of being a more or less struggling art editor. But then he probably won't get married again for two or three years at least, so I guess it won't break him." I was surprised to find myself 'WIN ST0RIE BY LUCY FITCH Irish Twins Have Tea. "Sure, this is a fine day for me, altogether," said Grannie Malone, as she got out her bit of flour to make the cake. "I can wait for the letter from himself, the way I know they're in health, and have not for gotten their old mother. Troth, we'll have a bit of a feast over it now," she said to the twins. "While I'm throwing the cakeen together do you get some potatoes from the bag, Eileen, and put them down in the ashes, and, you, Larry, stir up the fire a bit, and keep the kettle full. Sure, 'tis singing away like a bird this instant minute! Put some water in it, avic, and then shut up the hens for me." Eileen ran to the potato bag in the corner and took out four good sized potatoes. "There's but three of us," she said to herself, "but Larry will surely be wanting two himself." She got down on her knees and buried the potatoes in the burning peat. Then she took a little broom that stood near by, and tidied up the hearth. Larry took the kettle to the well for more water. He slopped a good deal of it as he came back. It made great spots of mud, for there was no wooden floor only hard earth with flat stones set in it. "Arrah now, Larry, you do be slopping things up the equal of a thunderstorm," Eileen said to him. "Never you mind that, now Lar ry," said Grannie Malone. "It might have been that the kettle leaked it self, and no fault of your own at all. Sure, a bit of water here or there does nobody any harm." She hung the teakettle on the hook over the fire again. Then she brought the cakeen and put it into a small iron baking ket.le and put a cover over it. She put turf on top of the cover.

Bee Want Ads Are the Best Business Boosters, tingling with indignation at Dicky's contemptuous references to the young officer with whom I had shared such deadly peril. "Rather a stick, indeed!" I thought hotly, with the remem brance of that time always fresh in my memory. My resentment al most led me into the petty retalia tion of telling my husband that Al fred in all probability would not he worrying about the kind .if flowers which would suit Leila after a year or two marriage, but I prudently clicked back the caustic words. "Of course, it was really up to me as best man to get the bou quets," Dicky went on, "but I knew that Grantland was a bit hipped about not having that place him self, and I fell for this other scheme as soon as Alf told me about it. And Grantland was really very decent, asked my permission and advice, and all that sort of thing." Madge on Guard. Again I felt indignation surging to my lips, and again I restrained it. Dicky. consciously or uncon sciously, was so loftily superior in his attitude toward Major Grant land that I could not heln feeling resentful. The young officer has done me too many signal services for nie to listen undisturbed to slighting references to him. But I kept my lips tightlv closed and was glad that Dickv's next words were such that I could answer without irritation, perfunc torily. "I suppose you both gave Mrs. Durkee the samples," he asked idly. For a brief second or two I saw my mother-in-law nonplussed. She had refused Mrs. Durkee's request so decidedly and had been so in sistent that I, too. should deny the young officer's wish, that I saw even her resourceful brain was not ready with an answer. 1 I made haste to reply with an air of non chalance that I was far from feel ing. "Neither mother nor I fancied the idea very much at first." I said, "and, besides, we could not find pieces of our gowns readily. But Mrs. Durkee said that she would tell Major Grantland we were hunt ing for them, and would send him over when he called for the satriDle of hers this morning." (Continued tomorrow.')

(Copyright, 19:0, by the Wheeler Syn dicate, Inc.) This question, which has puz zled astronomers since the earli est days of the observations of the heavens, was finally solved by Clerk Maxwell, who showed that the only possible explana tion of the matter was that the "rings" consist of an immense number of tiny sattelites or moons, each of which is contin ually whirling around in its orbit, held in placce bv the attraction of Saturn itself'. This theory explains the fact that the two outer rings are brighter than the third or "crape" ring on the ground, that they consist of a larger number of satellites, more closely grouped. Because a year on Saturn is the equivalent of 20'i earth years these rings disappear entirely every seven and one-third years, being then edgewise to the earth and invisible even to a glass as powerful as that of the great Lick telescope. Prof. Barnard's measurements give the outer di ameter of the outside ring as 172.310 miles, while the inner or dark ring is some 6,000 miles dis tant from the planet itself. On the other hand, the rings are less than 50 miles in thickness, which accounts for their apparent dis appearance when their edge is turned toward the earth.
