Guard Property MISSING.


The theft of property belonging &c
the Nebraska national guard must
stop. The efforts of Adjutant Gen
eral Charles f. Schwarz are to be
turned in that direction during his ad
ministration. How to prevent the loss
of such property has long been one OF
the vexing problems or the admins
trative officers of the guard. The sight
of a fine United States blanket in the
front yard of residence or the use OF
such piece of cloth in the home of
n citizen Is said not to be uncommon.
Campaign hats and blue shirts disap
pear with great regularity from the
care of captains and companies. Prop
erty given by the government to the
Nebraska national guard and issued to
companies is under tho care and con-
troll of captains. 1t 1t disappears n
board of survey may inquire into the
loss and its report is sent to the war
department where ii Is usually APP
proved. This relieves the captains.
Occasionally captain digs up money
to pay for missing property. AS all
captains are supposed to be under
bond, they may be held liable for any
loss that cannot be satisfactorily ex.
planned.
This department will do all 1t can
to help captains who deserve to be re.
lleved of responsibility" said Adjutant
General SchwarZ, "but it is the policy
fthe department to try with all its
power to held the careless and negli-
gent officers responsible. officers who
do the square thing and who are try
ing to do right will be helped; those
who do not will be held to a strict ac-
conutability."
A board of survey is now at work.
1t comprises Colonel Storch, Major j.
M. Birkner and Captain Workizer, U.
s. A. While the latter cannot obtain
permission from the war department
to devote his time to such work, he
will be able to assist the board. Some
of the property now missing has been
missing for several years and no adj
justment of the loss has been made.
The board will lendeavor to clean up
some of the old cases but will devote
most of it's time to recent losses with
a view to preventing losses in the fu-
turc. 1t is likely that il companies
are mustered out of the guard the first
to go will be those that have the most
property unaccounted for.

Want Food Law Enforced.

Secretary Johnson received a let
ter from the secretary of the grocers'
and butchers association Of Omaha in
closing set OF resolutions asking for
the rigid enforcement of the pure food
law, against the manufacturers rather
than against the retailers. The food
commissioner holds that both the re-
taller and the manufacturer, if he re-
sides in Nebraska, are guilty for i'm.
pure food or improperly branded pack
ages. The resolutions were passed at
a meeting of the grocers and butchers

Short WEIGHT Butter.

Dairy Inspector Hartley reports un-
branded butter packages by p. III.
Gumpton & Co., of Oxford. This but
ter was put up by A. C. Rankin of OK
ford. The facts have been certified
to County Attorney A. NJ. Keys. Beav.
er City.
Mr.. Hartley also reports violations
of the law as to the branding of pack
age butter by l.. r. Bonner & Co., Of
Imperial. This case has been reported
for prosecution to w. d. Thompson,
county attorney, Imperial.
The deputy food commissioner has
called attention of the county attorneys
to the fact that in most of the cases
reported OF unbranded butter the but
ter is short in weight, indicating that
the butter is put up in packages by
the producer for the purpose Of prac-
ticing the short weight trick upon the
consumer. At the present prices of
butter in the western part of the state
the shortage of ounces to the package
cheats the consumer to the amount
of about cents to the package. This
profit in most cases so far investigat,
ed really goes to the grocer. The
farmer who puts up short weight but
ter is able to sell it to the grocery
keeper on account of the convenience
that there is in handling the package
butter. Generally the grocer weighs
the farmers butter in bulk, paying
for the butter weight and then retails
it to his customers by the package,
selling the 13 ounce package at the
pOund pricp

Favors certification Plan.

In his annual report to Governor
Sheldon State Superintendent Nc
Brien declared in favor of the certi-
fication law commenting the act to
strengthen the weaker school districts
of the state and boosted the junior nor.
mails. Concerning the latter he said:
During the past FIVE years the en-
rollment in the junior normal schools
reached nearly 5000 teachers. Never
did the state do so much good with
so little money in the professional
training of its teachers. We shall
have over 1900 teachers enrolled in
these eight junior normal schools dur
ing the session of 1908. This will
equal the combined enrolment at the
two state normal schools during their
summer sessions and we have reason
to be proud of the enrolment at our
two great state normal schools. Not
withstanding this phenomenal attend
ance at the junior normal schools, the
attendance at all private and state nor
NAL schools has increased from year
to year. During each of the past two
years over 5000 teachers have attend
ed summer school. The reason for this
unprecedented attendance is the de-
mand of the public for better qualified
teachers. These teachers have met
with a substantial reward on the part
of the public in an aggregate increase
in teachers wages of over $4,000 dur
ing the past two years.
Many county superintendent tes-
tify to the better work accomplished
in their schools as a result of the pro.
fessional training given their teach
ers in the junior normal schools. The
hearty support given these schools by
county superintendent, the liberal
patronage and the generous donations
from each place where junior normal
school has been located, the excellent
services rendered the state by the
principals and instructors and the he
roic efforts put forth by the teachers
themselves make a record full of
credit and honor Let me assure you
OF the appreciation Of the teachers and
the people in the territory of the junior
normal schools of your friendly atti-
tude toward the work of these schools"
