On Business Tour.
Get your local committee together and
complete the details Of what you want us
to do while we are in your city. The time
you expect to show US the location and the
time you desire to present the different
facts and items that you desire to give us.
If possible send me, the secretary, a copy
Of your program so that we can work out
our program and have IT fit yours at each
place.
Remember this is a business trip made
by busy men for one purpose-complying
with the law securing a location for the
additional normal school, We are not
going out for our health. or for pleasure or
for any kind of midnight suppers.
The members of the board all have
comfortable homes and IL your local hotel
cannot furnish warm rooms for us cannot
you, the local committee, secure for us ac-
commodations in private homes where we
can have a warm room? The member Of
the board would rather pay a private fam
lily for a warm room than a hotel for a
cold room"
Governor Holds Back.
II have not yet decided what to do about
calling the Legislature together in special
session. said Governor ~Shallenberger to-
day. Il am still considering the matter"
1t is the belief of many who have talked
to the governor that the proposed income
tax amendment will be bitterly fought
whenever i. is brought before the legisla-
ture and for that reason they are urging
him TO get busy now and carry out the
torders OF the late democratic state conven-
ton. While he is saying little, the governor
gives out the impression that, he personally
sees no reason for the extra session at this
time.
Early sunday schools.
At the regular meeting of the Lincoln
Ministerial association Monday morning it
was decided that the best time in the day
to hold the Sunday school was before the
morning church service, about 9:S or 10
o'clock being selected as the most desirable
hour. Tit ministers took no official action
on the matter, their decision being in the
form of a recommendation to their Sunday
schools.
r.. Il. Moore Settles Suit.

torney. Frank Tyrrell, the County Board
OF Commissioners at a meeting Monday &C
cepted the offer Of R. E. Moore for the
