JOE BUMBEER IS
BEMOANING HIS
FATE AS TRADER

Joe Bumbeer was bound over to the
federal grand jury after hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner Nee
ly on a charge Of violating the Reed
amendment.
Joe was arrested in Plattsmouth a
few days ago after an exciting chase.
He was spotted" while passing
through that city on his motorcycle
with sde-car attachment. Officers
pursued him on motorcycles. When
Joe saw them he tipped over the bot
ties of whisky which he had in the
side-car and allowed the contents to
run out on the road.
But he ran out OF gasoline, and
when the officers caught him he had
nine quarts of whisky to act as dam
aging evidence against him.
Joe was arrested about three
months ago for bringing booze" from
St. Joseph to Omaha. He came on
the train at that time. At his hearing
before Federal Judge Woodrough his
family wept so eloquently that the
Judge was moved to pity and let him
off with 80 days in jail.

FARMERS CONGRESS
ENDS ANNUAL MEET
Closing Recommendation i:
That Dogs Should Be Tax
ed to Recompense Sheep
Growers.

All dogs in Nebraska should be
taxed to create state fund from
which sheep growers would be rec
ompensed for the loss of sheep killed
by dogs, in the opinion of the dele
gates to the Nebraska Farmers con-
gress, which closed its session at
the Hotel Castle Thursday morning
They recommended such legislation
in their resolutions.
The Farmers congress pledged its
hearty support to the government for
the speedy and successful conclusion
Of the war. The farmers voted to pc
titon the proper authorities thai
boys excused from military service
for agricultural purposes be given a
certificate stating that fact. They
asked that farmers be represented on
all boards and commissions appointed
under the food control act. They
recommended that price fixing be
extended to all commodities neces.
sary for the proper execution of the
war. They recommended increased
levy of taxation or excess war
profits. They voted that gambling or
specializing in the things necessary
to prosecute the war. deserves the
condemnation of every patriotic citi-
zen.
Oppose Labor Proposition.
After considerable argument they
opposed the proposition of importing
Asiatic labor for the farms. They
urged upon the farmers elevator
companies of the state the necessity
of installing mills suitable for grind
ing whole wheat flour and com meal.
They opposed transferring from pub
lie to private ownership the water
rights OF the state. They praised the
work of the Federal Farm Loan bank
of Omaha.
On the question of sugar, the farm
ers held that since there is apparent
ly not sufficient supply of sugar to
go round, the government should
issue sugar tickets, allowing the con-
sumers to buy in any quantity de-
sired within the limits set upon the
ticket as the proper requirement for
a given family. They recommended
that the farmer January take an in
ventory of his property and begin
the keeping of set of books so that
he may determine accurately what
it costs him to do business and to
produce a given crop. They recon-
mended that farm machinery be con-
served and the old repaired.

his superiority. Carrying l26 pounds
he set a new American record for a
mile and 20 yards, which he ran in

Colonel Vennie, Lady Rotha, Guy

ability to carry weight in his next

he ran the distance in 1;50 As and
won handily.
Easily his best performance, how
ever, was in his last race at Latonia.

JENNY lind's Salute to the Flag.

Fifty years ago, when Jenny Lind
was singing in New York, the Ameri-
can frigate Saint Lawrence. returning
from a cruise abroad, came into the
harbor. The young midshipmen, on
the first night of their shore-leave,
availed themselves of the opportunity
to hear the famous singer.
The next day the boys, to express
the emotions her wonderful voice had
stirred in them, called on her in a
body. They hardly expected that she
would receive them. but she did; and
she was so charmed by their youth
funess ana !nasennc:,sness, that when
they tinorously asked her whether she
would like to see the ship, she ac
cepted the invitation. Then, growing
holder, they asked her to luncheon, and
she accepted that invitation, too.
When on the appointed day she came
on board with her companions, the
CAPTAIN saw her from his cabin, and
recognized her.
There is nothing more strict than the
courtesy observed in ship etiquette
among officers Of all ranks. OF the
three rnesses-the captains table. the
wardroom, and the steerage mess,
where midshipmen ate-no officer,
from captain down, would make him.
self one Of company at another mess,
unless specially hidden. In this case
the captain rang the bell for the or
Derby.
Tell the gentlemen Of the steerage
mess" he said, that the captain is
going ashore, and that his cabin is at
their disposal, If they care to use it."
