Judgment All That's Left
OF Ulysses Farmers Grain

Lincoln. Dec. 2o.--(Speciai.) Com
pliance with the statutes covering
the operation OF public warehouses
would have prevented loss of many
thousands OF dollars to farmers pat
ronizing the Ulysses Grain company,
according to report made ito the
State Railway commission by D. ].
Flaherty, appointed by II to look into
the controversy between George Dob
son, owner Of the elevator Of that
company and the farmers, who stored
their grain therein.
II appears from the report that Mr..
Dobson owned the elevator operated
under the name OF the Ulysses Grain
company, and that without securing q
license from the state he accepted
grain from the farmers OF that com
munity charging them nothing for
storage. Z
1t e alleged BY the farmers that
they received no returns from the
grain stored and Ia consequence sued
the elevator company, securing Z
| Judgment against George Dobson and
Jesse A. Smith. for $4,000. Dobsor
alleges in his defense that in May
1914 he sold the elevator to Smith
Smith on the other hand says hs
was only an cnplose Of the company
and had no interest.
In any event the grain, or most o.
il is court judgment for $o8,00(
against Dobsoh and Smith.
The railway, commission has taker
the matter up with Attorney Genera
Reed and instructed him to take act
ton in the matter in behalf of tn,
state for noncompliance with the Law
covering public warehouses establish
ments. The attorney general is on

HUGHES LEADS IN
EARLY BALL0TINC

Chicago, June 9.-On the first two
ballots in the Republican national
convention Justice Hughes led the
field and gained strength.
His supporters, confident that an
other ballot would give him a major
ity, resisted adjournment, but the con-
vention, tired and worn with a con-
tinuous ten-hour session, adjourned.
1t was the first time since 1888 that
a Republican convention has taken
more than one ballot to choose a presi-
Dental nominee.
On the first ballot Justice Hughes
polled 253h votes. He got AZ from his
own state and aside from Oregon and
Florida, the remainder were largely
scattering.
On the second ballot, he increased to
32S1a votes.
1t requires 494 votes to nominate.
Colonel Roosevelt's topmost strength
in the first days balloting was 81
votes
Besides Governor Hughes, the colo
mel, Charles W. Fairbanks and Cole
man Dupont of all the seventeen men
who had votes on the first ballot alone
made an increase on the second.

You can't get rid of kidney back

for me to bend over to get my shoes

THERE'S WORK FOR
ALI. In THIS CAMPAIGN
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
Women Can Take a Leading Part
i'm This Movement for Beau.
tiful, Sanitary and Safe
Home Towns.
ByLOUrSE KEEPER, Chairman Civic
Committee, Ohio Federation
of Woraen's Clubs

yvYOMEN are housekeepers. They
VIZ are apt to see more clearly the
need of municipal housekeeping
than are men. Through our clubs we
have an excellent opportunity to lead
in Clean Up and Paint Up" work Here
are some pointers for women who
would help regenerate their commu-
nifty with a real Clean Up and Paint
Up campaign:
Each campaign involves the renova-
ton of the interiors of buildings as
well as yards, streets and alleys.
The removal of all rubbish and USE
less things is most important.
Some revenue can be derived from
the sale of waste paper.
During the "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign is a good time to have rub
bish cans placed upon street corners,
for the deposit of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of town than the liberal
use of paint.
Useless and unsightly outbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention Rub
bish accumulates in cellars, under
stairways, in storerooms, passageways,
and in the rear of hotels and restau-
rants. Look out for RATS here.
A clean yard is not sufficient; 1t
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
in lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and
trees.
The thresholds of a town should DO
made inviting to the visitor.
This is good time to find out about
the sanitary ordinances of the town.
How about the regulations in regard
to garbage collection, the use of closed
garbage cans, manure piles, splitting,
toilets, ETC.? Are they adequate? Are
they enforced? Appoint a committee
on this subject. Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
It is very important that the Clean
Up and Paint Up idea be impressed
upon the minds OF school children.

BUYING HEALTH

To a constantly lessening, but
still far too great a degree, we care
for other things far more than we
do for health. Take, for example,
the protection that we (the public
still give to our property against
fires and to our lives and skins
against the guns, knives and sand
bags of thugs If we were to com
pare the amounts paid out of the
treasury of any city for police and
fire protection with the amount paid
for the health department, we should
find that our preparedness" st II
takes the form of frontier town. 1t
parison that we prefer to save our
houses from fire rather than our
babies from disease, or that w3're
more afraid of burglars and footpads
than we are of the germs of scar
let fever, Whooping cough, diphtheria,
measles, tuberculosis, pneumonia and
other preventable diseases.
1t isn't that I don't appreciate the
luxury Of protection from a fire in
my residence, even though | am in
sured against financial loss, Or that
[ don't like the feeling of safety
againts attack by ruffians when
I'm out at night, because I do But
much more I desire for my children
better safeguards against disease
enemies, especially so as [ couldn't
be compensated for the loss of those
children by any insurance company.
The real reason why we give more
money for fire and ordinary police
protection than we do for sanitary
police protection is that the public
doesn't as yet realize how much more
practical, efficient disease prevention
now is. When the health officer
tries to tell the other authorities
they commonly assume that he is
trying only to increase his salary.
Only the students know, as yet, how
definite and practical is the knowl-
edge of how to curb and control ray
enous, preventable diseases.
When the people learn more about
the real nature of contagious dis
eases and find that they follow as
definite laws as those that control
business, agriculture, engineering and
other sciences, taxpayers will not
be willing to leave SO much to
chance as they do now. When more
of us know that contagious disease
is not a divine visitation but the re-
suit of a visitation of comfortable
disease germs, an insistent demand
will be made to have those germs
The supply of 'know-how'' is al
ready at hand to meet the demand
when it comes.

if Roosevelt were nominated by the
Progressives, as he was today, Hughes
might reject the Republican nomina-

Colonel Roosevelt's conditional re-

Republican enthusiasm, but brought
forth the prediction that within a few
weeks Roosevelt will announce his
definite acceptance of Hughes nomi-

WAR FROM ITS LIGHTER SHOE
morous Stories of Incidents in
Which They Have Figured.

The war correspondents life in for.
mer days was not wholly made up Of
adventures that called for daring but
had also much of humorous relief, as
these episodes will show:
When the British army, with Lord
Roberts at it's head, was drawing near
Bloemfontein, and it was known that,
would make no opposition, two enter
prising correspondents, Gwynne OF
Reuters agency and Patterson of the
Sydney Herald, rode ahead of the col
umn with the object of being the first
to enter.
AS they approached Bloemfontein,
the sight of these heralds of the Brit
isb power caused such alarm that
women and children fed in terror, and
a couple of bicyclists fell off their ma
chimes and held up their hands in
token of surrender. Preceded by
scurrying inhabitants with cries of
THE British are coming!" they en-
tered the town with the air of con-
querors, and were received by the
mayor, Landrost, and other officials,
all tumbling over one another in their
eagerness to be the first to offer their
submission. And it was by the two
correspondents, shaking with internal
laughter, that the rulers of Bloemfon-
tein were escorted to Lord Roberts
headquarters, to make their formal
surrender.
G. w. Stevens was Mr.. Gwynne's
companion on another occasion, when
together they were the first to enter
Vo1o, during the war between Greece
and Turkey, in 1897. SO anxious were
the citizens to capitulate that, at their
request. Mr.. Stevens drew up the
proclamation of surrender, which the
mayor read to the inhabitants from
the balcony Of the town hall; and
when the su1tan's troops made their
appearance, it was to learn that the
town had been peacefully "captured'
some hours earlier by a couple of war
correspondents.
