Harvest Hands Needed.
The State Bureau Of Labor has COM
pleted its schedule showing the number
of men needed in each county and town
in Nebraska, and is now. ready TO begin
operations to supply the fields of Nebraska
with all the men needed. Until last night
the bureau has been aiding Kansas, where
over 1900 men were needed, and has
shipped to that state a great number. Sat
urday the harvest will commence gener-
ally over Nebraska and the bureau will
now call on the director OF employment OF
Kansas TO return the favor and to ship
men to the farmers of this state. Because
OF the great number Of men who go into
Kansas every year, Nebraska, 1t is claimed
gets the better of this labor agreement,
since the harvest is soon over down there
and tho men are aided TO get cheap trans
portation to Nebraska, where new jobs
await them. In fact the bureau of labor
claims Nebraska gets about four times as
many men back as it sends. The schedule
is as follows:
falo, go; Butler, 20; Clay, 49, Colfax 80;
Cunning, 70 Custer, 40; Dawson, 100; Dodge

County Clerk Drexel OF Douglas county,
who says he is so puzzled about primary
election law that he don't know what to
do, and who wants information from the
secretary of state about the matter, has
come to the wrong headquarters. The sec
retary of state is not a bureau OF informa-
ton regarding primary election laws It
was said in that Office today, and Deputy
Secretary Miller respectfully referred Mr..
Drexel to his own county attorney for the
desired information. AS matter OF fact
the secretary of state sends out sample
ballots about fifteen days before an cleo
ton and that is the only explanatory
circular" he does send out

Grabbing his razor by the handle Gem
eral Joseph Presson, commandant of the
Milford soldiers home, swiped off his whis-
kers close to the chin. The deed was done
several days ago and yesterday the general
made his first appearance In Lincoln under
his new disguise. In marring his genial
countenance thusly General Presson is fol-
lowing the precedent set by Ed Bignel,
]. r. Ager of the Burlington. and secre-
tary Royce of the Banking board. That
Bignell and Royce have improved their ap-
pearance there is no doubt, but as for
Ager! A criminal libel suit might follow a
description Of him. Upon his appearance
on the street a half dozen attempts were
made to secure a photograph of him, but
none were successful Ager is now in the
wilds of Wisconsin letting that mustache
grow out and reports from there are to
the effect that they" are slow in COM
ing.
school Directors in Default.
A number OF school districts in the
state have failed to comply with the new
law which specifies that the amount OF
money required to be raised for school
purposes and not the amount of mills
levied shall be certified to the county
clerk. This. however, will not be the
means OF closing the schools in those dis
tricts which have violated the law in
this regard, as some of the directors seem
to think Today Chief Clerk Harnly of the
superintendent's office sent out letters in
answer to inquiries that failure to COM
ply with the law would make no difference
providing the mills levied did not raise
more than $3.50 on the $780,
