mander-in-Chief at the old house still
standing on York Road, near Hatboro
town.
It was great day in the worlds
history when Lafayette, the liberty
loving youth of 81 and Washington,
the liberty-winning man of As, joined
hands and hearts in the struggle for
the further liberation of the race
The world knows the story; but not
all, as Liberty's story is never fully
told, A great chapter is being writ
ten in 1917, when men from the land
of Lafayette have reminded us soof
their early friendship and thousands
of American soldiers are on. the soil
of France to repay the debt created
seven-score years ago. ~
So, on September 9Th we shall cele
brate with renewed gratitude the
birthday of Lafayette, whose lifelong
adherence to keeping everlasting as it
did so much to bring liberty to us, to
France and to the world.

SECTION FOR[M{N CAN'T
LIVE ON 500, ASK RATE
BOOST AND HIGHER PAY

The fact that a: section foreman
cannot, live and dress and educate HIS
family on $50 per month is being cited
to the North Dakota railway commits
sion as a reason why North Dakota
railways should have higher freight
rates. Several section foremen, chief
ly employed by the Great Northern,
have written the state board of their
troubles. twenty-five years ago. says
one, "a section foreman got $45 the
month, and he could live then for one
third what it costs today" The let
ers apparently are inspired, as they
over similar ground, but none Of
hem indicates that the writer has any
definite promise Of a boost in wages
if freight rates are increased.

Health Of German
People is Better
Than During Peace

Amsterdam, March 22-(Via Lon
don. 1.-The health of the German
people is surprisingly good, and in
fant mortality is lower than in peace
time, according to Vice Chancellor
Helfferich. The vice chancellor is
quoted by Berlin dispatches to Reu-
tiers as saying in a speech before the
Reichstag:
"Our fears regarding the possible
effects OF a restricted food supply are
unfounded. Moreover, the health Of
the people is surprisingly good and
infant mortality lower than in peace
time. Great Britain's efforts with
the plow proves the Importance it at
tached to the submarine war. Its I'M
ports will be further restricted by
our submarines.
1--WE have already taken measures
for the proper production and distri-
button of raw materials after the war,
and in regard to building our mercan-
tile fleet negotiations are continuing
with the ship owners. Despite the
Paris conference, we shall renew
economic relations with foreign coun-
tries after the war;"

WOULD BAR WATER
men FROM POLITICS
Bill Considered to Eliminate
Officers or Employees as
Candidates for Office.
MONEY FOR NEW HOG BARN

Lincoln, March 22.--(Special y
Senate File No. 205, bill to prohibit
managers or other employees of the
Omaha Water board from becoming
candidates for political Office outside
of the Water board, was amended by
the senate this afternoon so that prac-
tically the whole bill was eliminated
except that part which provides no
manager, officer or employe OF the
board may become candidate for any
political Office during the time for
which he was elected. The bill was
laid aside for future consideration.
Spirk's constitutional amendment
bill provided for four-year term for
members of the legislature and cutting
the membership of the house to fifty
and the senate to eighteen was sent
to third reading, amended by Robert
son providing for salary to men,
bers Of 81 900 instead of $500.
The appropriation for a hog barn
for the state fair went through as it
came from the house, carrying $4,000.
An attempt to cut the sum to $40,0OO
lost, two to one.
For the first time this session all

New England Moves
To Prepare Against
Attack by Enemies

Boston, Mass, March 22.--New
Englands mobilization for prepared
ness proceeded rapidly today. New
Hampshire appropriated $500,000 for
defense, and Maine and Vermont,
through their governors, appointed
committees on public safety. The
legislature OF New Hampshire and the
Vermont house Of representatives en-
dorsed universal military training.
Governor Graham Of Vermont an
nounced that he would ask the legis-
lature to vote credit for defense.
Throughout the New England coast
line the greatest activity was shown.
So prompt has been the response to
the calls for recruits that the heads
OF official and civilian committees had
their hands full in examining, enroll
ing and assigning those who could be
OF service. Men, women, boy scouts
and girls made up the volunteers.
In Boston preparedness campaign
ers were very busy. While those in
authority are not betraying secrets
that might be Of value to an enemy,
they are openly courting such harm
less publicity as may serve to arouse
further public sentiment for prepared
ness.

District Clerks Salaries n
OnIy ReadiuSted by Bill

Lincoln, Neb, March 22.-(Special.)
The mistaken idea that S. F. l59
reduced the salaries Of county clerks
of the state led those officials to bring
pressure upon legislators to defeat
that measure. Their concern that the
bill be shelved, however, is useless,
for It does not even remotely relate
to those county officers. 1t simply
readjusts salaries OF clerks of the
district court in counties of from TO-
900 to $4,000 population, affecting
officers whose salaries have not been
touched by legislative enactment in
a couple OF decades or so.
The bill, which bears the names of
Senator Albert and Representative
Regan. is now on the third reading
calendar in the house. 1t passed the
senate by unanimous vote and went
through the house committee of the
whole with no opposition.
