Let Farmers and Business Men SPEAK
FLORENCE. Neb., March 1O-To the
Editor Of The Bee: / had the pleasure
OF hearing the railroad officials argu-
ments at Lincoln before the railway com
mittee for the increase OF r cent per
mile for passenger fare. and wish TO
state quite frankly that their statistics
introduced has no bearing upon the sub
ject at all. In order to justify the in
crease they should dig Up their receipts
and expenditures from the very begin
ming of business and tell US farmers, la
borers and business men Of this state
how many what sizes and how often have
they cut melons since their inception and
what bonds was voted for them. how
much land was given by the government
and value etc, so we can consoli-
date these figures and facts and see
what their profits have been, and IL this
is not satisfactory. let them show a de-
sire to go out OF business IL not doing
well and allow the government to take
hold at their actual value, as the people
are getting tired in buying over and over
again a corporations property and still
not own it. Let the farmers and BUSH
ness men of this state get busy and send
a petition TO Lincoln with 10000 sigma
lures against this bill. backed up by ar
guments that we know what they have

for the talent OF so versatile voter, and inclined
to ask II there be any more there like him2
But the annoying interference of the federal
authorities is proving most disoouraging TO the
patriots who had so carefully built up and made
perfect machine for producing democratic vic
tories II the efforts of the district attorney at
Ierre Haute are not turned awry, some of the
energy OF the active voters OF that bailiwick win
very likely be turned into more prosaics and

Great BRITAIN. Latest war Move.

~ David Lloyd George has startled John Bull
ON several occasions since he became chancellor
Of the imperial exchequer, but perhaps never
has he proposed so radical step as that he has
now embarked upon. 1t is the taking over by
the British government of all factories in the
United Kingdom capable OF turning out materi-
ais for uses In the war. This is a step farther
than the German imperial government went In
Its order taking control OF the food supplies In
Germany, and, II anything. shows the purpose
Of the British government TO pursue the war
While the action is justified under the i'm.
periai defense act, which gives extraordinary
power to the cabinet of Great Britain, 1t will be
watched with skeptical interest AS an expert
ment in governmental control OF the manufac
ture OF arms and munitions OF war. IL especially
concerns those who feel that much hope for
peace lies in the elimination OF private profit
from the making and selling Of military and
naval equipment What consideration will be
given the property rights OF the owners Of the
commandeered plants Is not shown, but Lloyd
George evidently means business
Little by little Is cropping out evidence to
support the conclusion that Great Britain was
not SO poorly prepared for war as some would
have us think. The imperial defense act taken
together with the secret treaties, make 1t seem
as II the military authorities OF the empire had
been quite as active. though more secretive. as
those of the other belliserent nations.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this. get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips
Do this tonight and by morning most.
IL not all, of your dandruff will be gone.
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1T, no
matter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching and
digging of the, scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never falls

Municipal Light Plants.

OMAHA March 10.--To the Editor Of
The Bee: I have recently examined the
reports Of 2@ municipal-o electric
light and water plants with the following
results:
Thirty-six per cent were sold or leased
TO private parties within ten years.
twenty-five per cent were shut down
or. abandoned and contracts made with
private companies to FURNISH power.
forty per cent were operated at q
loss of 10 to 90 per cent, requiring the
leyying OF additional taxes each year
Two percent are about holding their
own.
1t is claimed that the Lincoln consum.
ers are getting rates OF 5 cents per kilo-
watt hour. Why not add the readiness to
the charge of so cents per month TO this
and say 20 cents and tell the truth?
And who knows whether maintenance.
interest and other costs are included in
the scent rate?. The fact is that not one
municipal-owned light plant out Of
twenty in this state is making and de-
liverlng electricity for anywhere near 5
cents. In many plants 1t is costing 10
cents per kilowatt hour. The people in
the smaller cities and towns are up
against it and win be until they can get

relieve the pain until the cause ofthe trouble
has been removed. To answer this purpose

When we have a patient subject to regulas
attacks of sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing IL better than "Actoids", and when
he feels the least sign Of an oncomina

Such patients should always be instructed
to carry few Anti amnie Tablets, SO as 20
