Some folks are apt to think
that the President of the United
States receives an enormous sal
ary-$75, 600 year. with $25,-
900 annually for travelling ex-
penses, and free house rent; but
when his salary is compared to
salaries received by foreign
rulers and presidents the amount
is certainly small. King George
of Grert Britain gets SO, los, ,0O0
a year and recently he was
granted" $65,0O0 a year more,
because he said he could not
mrintain his family on his salary
and STRUCK" for more. The
German emperor gets no selary,
only grant of $650,0o0 a year,
but as king of Prussia he gets
So, 100000 a year and he says
this is clearly not enough. The
king of Italy is another monarch
who has recently hlnted at the
meager salary paid him; he re-
ceives $3,200,000 a year. The
car of Russia, when there was a
czar. received salary of $S,l79,

The king of Belgians gets $875,~ :

ceives S525,OO0. The only pres
ident of a republic comparable
at all with ours is France, he re
ceIves $240, 900 a yea. from which
he pays his own travelling expen-

PREHISTORIC VASE ls FOUND
Blasting for Drainage Ditch in Nebras- ka Uncovered a Remark
 able Relic.

c. F. Buchholz of this city has charge miting a drainage ditch east of here about four miles, says the Falls City correspondent of the Omaha World Herald. The purpose is to loosen the dirt so 1t may wash and both widen and deepen the ditch and prevent over- flows. The dynamite shakes side walls and bottom.
 After an explosion the other day a large portion of the south side wall cayed down, exposing a large vase about nine feet below the surface. The workmen thought the pot might con- tain valuables and made further in- vestigation, which disclosed no Span ish gold, but the pot itself is fine ex- ample of the work of the prehistoric race which inhabited this section in bygone ages. The pot is blackened on it's interior as if it were from fire. 1t was imbedded in stiff clay and the ground about showed no appearance Of having been disturbed. A number ol photographs of the pot before it was removed were taken to show the depth and location.
 The pot was found to be about eight cen inches deep with an opening at the top about the size of an ordinary table plate, while it might measure three feet in circumference at the middle. Some distance farther down the ravine some homes were fOund
 The pottery was brought to town and will be reassembled, as the blasting powder used in the ravine had caused parts to crack and drop out.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like Dr. Kill her's Swamp Root, that has real curative value almost sells itself. Like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of 1t.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is physi- clans prescription. It has been tested for years and has brought results to count less numbers who have suffered.
 The success of Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root is due to the fact that it fulfills almost ev- cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 Do not suffer Get bottle of Swamp Root from any druggist now. Start treat ment today.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer X Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

 HThere is no firing yet, although I expect it, for no doubt we are in for a 'straff' if the 'Boche knows we are going in''
 No "straff" developed, although the Germans put over a few customary shells-hitting nothing.
 The troops entered the trenches safely unit by unit passing quickly to the places assigned them. Quietness was essential, but the French welcome none the less was heard and it was enthusiastic.
 Every American was shaken by the hand, some were hugged and even kissed on both checks in the French custom. Some of the French troops were those who helped to train the Americans. The trenches were found to be muddy, but nevertheless in condition of excellent construction Greetings being over the Americans settled down and at daylight; under low hung, dripping clouds, they got their first view of the German line stretching away in the rolling terrain.
