This is the first and only newspaper
in America printing a page in coIOrs,
red, blue and black, daily.
Trial order 100 days $1.OO.
This color feature. a page every day
in red. blue and black, was started in
the state Journal November 3, and has
been kept up every day since and will
be continued for at least one hundred
days longer. The feature is very ex-
pensive and may be regarded as still
in the governmental stage. Some idea
of its cost may be gathered when it is
known that the red and blue ink alone
costs about six dollars each day

County Officers ''Swop" Stories
With State Officials.
StOWeII of Nemaha Has a Visit
With Dave Leahy.

County clerks and assessors from all
over the state met with the state tax
commission today to discuss tax values
for the coming year and methods OF
taxation. The visitors called on all the
state officers and talked good times and
politics and crops all day until the
time of meeting set for O'Clock In
the afternoon.
Among the notable characters pres
ent of the visiting tax officers was John
Stoweu of Seneca Nemaha county:
StOWeu settled in Nemaha in 1870 and
has resided there continuously during
the Al intervening years. He does not
look to be over Al years old, but ad-
raits 81 He was born in London, Eng.
He called on Goov. Stubs this morn
ing and when he met Dave Leahy'
the governors private secretary, Greek
met Greek. Stoweu has Irish blood IN
his system himself and he carries his
60 odd years as lightly as Dave ever
dared to carry his so milestones.
He Is Proud of Both.
Stoweu is county clerk of Nemaha;
he is a Democrat and a great admirer
of Governor Stubs. His London birth
and Kansas raising blend perfectly he
is as proud of his state as he IS OF
Marlborough House, and keeps in as
close touch with the state house affairs
as he does with the English parliament.
His London accent is about the same
as Dawes Killarney burr. Their con-
versation was worth two prices of adj
mission to any show since Booth ana
Rarrett'S day.
