place upon the election OF Governor
Shallenberger. From the very first
he and Superintendent Woodland failed
to get along, and the breech finally
| became so wide that the superinten'
dent snapped the string that held
Newton to the pay roll.
Governor Shallenberger spent ten
days in the company of a number of
governors and congressman who ac-
companied Pre- ident Taft down the
Mississippi river to New Orleans.
This same trip was made a year ago
by Governor Sheldon with President
Roosevelt as the guest of honor. The
object of the river trip was to create
interest in a deep waterway to the
gulf
General Henderson has come to
the conclusion that the state of Ne
braska needs more advertising, and to
get il he is in favor of the state APP
propriating more money for the
maintenance of the state labor bu-
reau. This sudden inspiration came
to General Henderson by reason OF
alton of the agricultural products of
the state and the fact that he gave
an answer which placed the figures
entirely to low. When he discovered
his mistake he at once wrote to
the deputy labor commissioner for
information and discovered the bu-
reau had plenty of information, but
no money with which to circulate 1t.
SO he has commenced to advocate
more interest in the bureau and a
larger appropriation.

the teachers to have a few days va
cation with pay, in order to give
them an opportunity to attend the
meeting.
