Winslde's Population.

Lincoln News: Winside, over in
Wayne county, has some forty families,
says the Plalnview Republican, and
have sharpened 800 lawn mowers so
far this season. II he counted right
and tells the truth, there must be a
lot of farmers there who have lawns
or who shave themselves.
Wins!de Tribune: We passed with.
out correction the statement that Win.
side only contained forty families
when It was first published because we
recognized that newspaper jokesmiths
must have their fling, but when II
gets to being circulated all over the
state, 1t Is time to enter protest.
According to the census Of 1900. Win.
side contained over 400 In population,
and since that time it has grown from
n village into an enterprising little
city We have a fine new school build
ing, waterworks, mile of paved
walks have voted bonds for a light.
ing system and have park in the
business portion of the town that Is
the JOY and pride of our people and
which excites the admiration and won
der of all visitors. 1t has caused Win
side to become a summer resort and
several from other places spend the
season here, and unless all plans fail
we will soon have an artificial lake
that will be further inducement to
pleasure seekers and more comfort to
our people SO Winside naturally re
sents any insinuation, even though il
be started as joke, that she is a little
hamlet of forty families, which means
200 people The census of 1910 will
be an astonishing revelation concern
ing the town.

BIG WAGES FOR HARVEST HANDS
Nebraska Farmers Willing to Pay So
a Day and Board.

Omaha, July 9.-Nebraska farmers
want harvest hands and want them
badly.
The extent of that desire may be
measured by the wage which they are
willing to pay, SO day and board,
which just about reaches the maxi
mum offered anywhere.
Since corn is Nebraska's staple pro-
duct, reaching many times over the
annual harvest of wheat, oats and rye,
the cry for harvest hands doesn't
come with the same vehemence as
from the great winter wheat region of
Kansas or the spring wheat raisers of
Minnesota and the Dakotas. The need
for harvest hands, however, is none
the less acute.

vest fields right now,' said w. NJ,
Maupin, state labor commissioner
who was in the city yesterday II

on file in my office asking for harvest
hands. But haven't the men to send
them.

farmers of Nebraska are needing eth

SALOONS TURNED DOWN.
Licenses Refused by Supervisors Of
Charles Mix.

Geddes, s. D., July -9.-The saloons
of Charles Miv county received a Sc
we're jolt when the board of county
commissioners in session at Wheeler,
by a unanimous vote, turned down the
applications for saloon licenses at
Platte and Geddes and voted to re-
ject the bonds of the applicants. AS
the other towns of the county are on
the reservation, today there are no
saloons running legally in Charles Mix
county. Attorney c. w. Pratt appear
ed before the board in the interests
of the saloons and Attorney j. w.
Lindsay represented the anti-saloon
people, and it was only after extended
arguments by both attorneys that the
county board reached the decision and
voted as above recorded. The blow
is more severe in that the saloons at
Platte have been open and running
since July 1 without license and the
Geddes saloon men had a carload of
beer on the track here which it was
necessary to refuse.

BRYAN ON THE WATER WAGON
Trying Out New Vehicle for a White
House Run.

Leslie's Weekly: Bryan now an.
nounces his intention to make war on
the liquor interests in order to keep
the democratic party from being con-
trolled by them. This sudden change
of attitude, novel for a northern dem.
ocrat, has not greatly surprised the
American people. Reading the signs
of the times, Mr.. Bryan recognizes the
fact that the great leaders of his par.
ty, who have followed him thrice to de.
feat, are not eager to place their stan
dard in his hand again. Mr.. Bryan,
being nothing if not resourceful his
stand for virtual prohibition can have
but one meaning. He realizes the alb
surdity of announcing that he will take
nomination from the democratic par.
ty for the fourth time and, lead it once
more to disaster. But as he feels that
he must hare another try for the pres
idency, he is casting about to get the
nomination from the rapidly growing
prohibition party. Those who may
doubt that Mr.. Bryan is willing to tie
up with the prohibitionists should re.
member that it is not hope of the pres.
idency that attracts him and keeps
him activ" in political affairs so much
as the profitable publicity which he
would enjoy from posing as a candi
date. 1t was his remarkable gift for
gaining publicity which lifted Mr.. Bry.
an from poverty and obscurity into
national prominence and made him
one of the wealthiest men in his state
His capacity for securing free adver

BOARD WARNS BAN KS.
Must Not Advertise Yet That State
Protects Funds.

Lincoln, July 9.-The state banking
board is preparing a circular letter
to send to all state banks warning
them against making unwarranted
statements in regard to the guaranty
law in their advertisements.
One instance has come to the at
tention of the board in which a bank
advertises the guaranty law goes into
effect July and that all deposits are
guaranteed by the state. The ad-
vertisement asserts time certificate
in the bank is as good as state bond
The banking board holds the adver'
tisement is unwarranted, inasmuch as
the law has been enjoined in the state
courts, and will try to stop advertise
