ing Early in May.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. Is

errors of all the states and territoric.
to meet him at the white house on May

ton of means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country. Invitations also
are to be extended to the members OF

pOrtance and manner i'll which the sub
ject is to be considered are indicated In
the Presidents letter to the governors,
which has been made public at the white
house. The letters says in part:
1T is evident the abundant natural re
sources on which the welfare of this
nation rests, are becoming depleted, ami,
in not a few cases, are already exhaust
ed. This is true of ali portions of the
United States; it is especially true of the
longer settled communities of the east.
The gravity of the situation must |
believe, appeal with special force to the
governors of the states. because of their
close relations to the people and the re
spOI Sbility for the welfare of their com
mun.ticS. | have therefore decided. III
accordance with the suggestion of Ike
inland waterways commission, to ask
the governors of the states and tcrritor-
les to meet at the white house on May
Is, II and 10 to confer with the preSi-
dent and with each other upon the CON
seryatlon of natural resources
1T gives me great pleasure to invite
you to take part in the conferences. /
should be glad to have you select three
citizens to accompany you and to at
tend the conference as your assistants or
advisers"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1S.-
Shall William Jennings Bryan be sa-
luted with highballs, champagne and

in Washington on November %.
The banquet is a subscription affair, at

among those who have promised them
selves the pleasure of attending are Pro-
hibitionist leaders in the movement to
make Washington a dry town. Mr.. Bry
ans political friends are also embar-
raised by the spread of the Prohibition
movement. which suggests it may be
injurious to the political prospects of the
peerless leader to be the guest of honor
at wine dinner in the national capital
1t is stated that it would be agreeable
to Mr.. Bryan that no wines be served
but it is predicted that if they are
served the Nebraskan will come Out of
