To The Public!

The merchants of Paris recently
signed agreements to close their
stores as follows: Grocery stores at
z p. m. and Saturdays IL %. m.
Other lines of business at S o. M, ex-
cepting Saturdays. Some of our mer-
chants are doing all they can to live
up to their agreement, while others
find all kind of excuses to extend the
time of closing. One of their main
excuses has been that customers will
delay their purchases to the last
minute, and by entering stores at the
closing hour make it difficult for
merchants to close their stores as
agreed upon.
The Merchants Protective Associa-
ton of Bourbon, County at it's last
meeting directed by an unanimous
vote that the undersigned make an
urgent appeal to the public to kindly
assist the merchants by making all
their purchases so as not to conflict
with this closing arrangement.
There must be reason in all
things. A business or household
conducted without order and system
cannot bring complete success. Re-
member success does not mean money
alone-but also means Happiness.
Harmony and Good Health"
The mechanic and ordinary day
laborer will not work over 10 or 8
hours per day. This. you will agree
is exactly right. But why then
should we expect merchant to
work from a. m. to 10 or even IL
p. M, or from II to 10 hours per
day?
The merchant desires good health
and wants to live as long as others.
He wants to enjoy the company of
his wife and children at evening
during the week as well as only on
Sundays. Two hours extra rest each
day means all this for him and better
service for you on the next day. No
doubt you believe this is right and
are willing to grant him and his
clerks and porters this necessary
rest. Then why not help him to live
up to his pledge and make your pur-
chases accordingly?
To those merchants who have so
far failed to close their stores as
promptly as they agreed, we appeal
again, For the good of all, as we'll
as your own welfare, let us stand to-
gether and work like one man."
To those merchants who so far
have failed to fall in line on the
closing agreement, we extend an
earnest appeal to "Come and work to-
gether with us for a common cause. /"
and to the public we appeal for their
encouragement and cooperation in
this movement, because we believe it
right.

TO PRESERVE WRITING.

Attention was first called to the
bleaching effect Of the air and light
on writing ink, as used in modern
times, by the fact that signatures on
certificates had become illegible
through the fading of the ink, says
a writer in the Journal of the Society
of Chemical Industry. AS it was
impracticable to test sample of ink
by exposure of writing for period
of years, it was considered that linn
tied application of hydrogen perox-
ide would be the nearest chemical
equivalent to the bleaching effect of
the atmosphere. Writing done by
different inks wa; exposed to light,
the paper being occasionally moist
ened with per cent. solution of
hydrogen peroxide, the result being
that the handwriting gradually be-
came invisible, in some cases more
quickly than in others. The violet
ink used for typewriters was less
readily acted on, but was quickly
bleached by sulphurous acid. If an
ink could be produced possessing the
desirable properties of perfect fiuidity
and being nondeposing, and at the
same time incapable of being decol-
orized by oxidizing or reducing
agents, there would be good reason
to believe that the writing done by
such an ink would be practically per-
manent In the meantime, when
writing is of an important nature
and is desired to endure, some form
of carbon ink appears to be the only
trustworthy preparation.

CURIOUS run" ON A BANK.

civilian A Shryer, in Leslie's)
Suppose you were to be told that
certain bank in your town was be-
sieged by line of people over 200
feet long, and that they commenced
to gather long before the doors were
opened at 9 a. m? Suppose you
learned that the minute the doors
were opened this crowd damned into
the lobby and, continuing, to gather,
refused to leave until each and every
one had made his laborious way to
the little cages that need no descrip-
ton? What would you think it you
learned that it became necessary to
call out the police department to
handle such crowd, which refused
to relinquish their common object
until six long hours past the time
honored hour every bank is supposed
to close its doors?
If your experience with banks and
bankers is that of the average man,
1t wouldn't be hard to guess that
your answer to these questions would
be, IA run on the bank, of course"
These things occurred in the city
of Detroit on March / of this year,
and the crowd of people that be-
sieged this bank numbered over g.
900. 1t is possible that few who
needed a little money managed to
Tight their way to the cages of the
paying tellers and withdrew their
usual daily needs. Five thousand
eight hundred and sixty-one of them,
however, came for an entirely differ
emit purpose. They came to deposit
money in that bank and refused to
leave until they had done so.
In the light of preconceived no.
lions about banks, one would be en-
tirely justified in branding this story
as a Pigment of the imagination, and
yet it is true. The bank was the
Highland Park State Bank of De.
troit, and, what is more remarkable
still, the bank had not hoary tradi-
lions of age to partially explain such
a mark of confidence and trust. 1t
was a new bank, the youngest in the
city, and on this eventful day was
celebrating its first anniversary.

DEVELOP THE WATER POWER
(Norwich, Conn.,, Bulletin, July 2,
1919

The problem of getting fuel is Civ
ing the people of this country cause
for much serious thought. 1t is not
because there is not sufficient amount
of it, but because those who control
the mines are exacting exorbitant
prices and because the transportation
systems of the country have not been
able to meet the requirement of the
coal users and take care of the tre-
mendous amount of other service
which has been demanded of them. =
But the shortage, the high prices
and the transportation trouble are by
no means confined to this country. 1t
is even worse among the belligerent
nations of Europe and some of the
neutrals which have been dependent
upon belligerents for their coal sup
ply.
The result of the fuel situation
here is that the Government has been
forced to take hand in relieving the
shortage and high prices, and abroad
attention has been directed to the de-
velopment of new or previously little
used sources of supply. In both in
stances some relief will be obtained
but the entire problem is by no
means solved, and yet while the effect
of this condition is seriously bother
ing industries none too much atten-
ton appears to be devoted toward the
development of hydro-electric sta
lions. There are countries and in
this country there are States which
are not blessed with such natural re-
sources, but New England certainly
is and vast and unappreciable
amount of power is being allowed to
go to waste every day and has been
for centuries, and there could be Inn
agined no better time for bringing
about this needed development than
the present. There Is no better OPP
portunity for the conservation ofsre-
sources than In this very direction.

DREAM OF THINGS
MEYER TO HAPPEN
Imagine ALI Nations of World
Engaging in Fierce War
With Each Other.
AND THE U. s. IN 1T, TOO
BY A. A. GROH.

By A. A. GROH.
! had a terrible dream last night.
But it was so extraordinary mat it
seems funny.
| dreamed that Austria Hungary
ard Germany declared war on Eng
land, France and Russia. Soon there
was a terrific war in progress.
Trenches were actually dug along
every foot of the line between the
countries, many hundreds of miles.
The Germans attacked Belgium.
although that country is preserved
in inviolate neutrality by guaranty
of the big European nations. This
was of a piece with the rest of the
foolish dream.
They swept-on toward Paris and
were nearly at the gates when there
came a terrific battle, which resulted
in the driving back of the invaders.
By this time other great nations
were joining i'll the war Italy came
in on the side of the allies. Turkey
and Bulgaria joined the Germans.
Roumania joined the allies. Nearly
every day it seemed some new nation
joined the struggle. \
Lusitania Is Sunk.
The Germans began great subma-
rinc warfare. This rapidly assumed
such direction as could happen only
in the realm of dreams. The Germans
began sinking unarmed passenger
carrying vessels. without any warning
either. They finally sunk the great
Lusitania, resulting in great loss of
life.
| know il sounds ridiculous TO tell
it. No civilized nation would de-
liberately sink passenger ship bear
ing hundreds of women and children.
Such a thing could happen only in-a
dream.
Well, things grew worse. Finally
Germany declared blockade Of Eng
land and it sank a number of Amer
lean vessels. And then, in this ridicu-
lous dream, the United States actu-
ally joined in the war by the side
of the allies.
Z Tremendous preparations were soon
going on in this country to prose-
cute the war. Oh. yes, l forgot one
other funny feature. In the midst of
all this the car Of Russia was de-
posed, and Russia became a republic.
This rapid course Of events proved
toe great for my subconscious self
and I woke up, to find that it is still
only June %, 1914.
| can't imagine what caused me to
have such ridiculous dream, unless
it is that | ate cheese sandwich
last night and that l was reading in
the paper about the assassination of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand; heir-ap-
parent to the throne of Austria Hun
gary, yesterday at Sarajevo, Bosnia.
How utterly absurd to think that
the death of one man, even if he is
one of the autocrats (and therefore,
of course, worth more than a million
other rnen) should stir up such bed
lam of silly consequences.

RAINFALL is ABOVE
NORMAL THIS YEAR
Since Friday at Inches Have
Dropped from the Skies On
Omaha Gardens.
STATE GETS IT'S SHARE, TOO

Omaha mas had III inches OF rain
since the present wet Spell" started
last Friday. This makes the rainfall
since March just an inch more than
normal. Last year the rainfall during
March and April was two in:hcs less
than normal. In 1915 It was also
nearly two hes less than normal
during these two months. Rain was
filling this morning over most OF the
corn and wheat belt. The outlook
is for fair and warn..r.
Rain fell Sunday and Sunday night
over the greater portion OF central
md eastern Nebraska and snow in the
western part and all through Wyo-
ming and Colorado. The precipitation
over Nebraska ranged from one-half
10 two inches, the heaviest being in
the southeast part Of the state.
There was an all-night snow
through Colorado and Wyoming and
along the Burlington, Northwestern
and Union Pacific fall Of eight
inches to foot is reported. The
railroads named ere running snow
plows ahead OF their passeng' trains.
Generally the snow Is wet -ad
heavy, but in portions of Wyoming
and Colorado, where temperatures
were near freezing, it was drifting into
the cuts.

10-year-old daughter Of Mrs. F. R.
Hoagland, sl0o Cass street, is filling
her May baskets with tomato plants
instead Of the customary wild flowers,
which have been retarded this spring
by the late snowstorins.
Little Miss Emily is said to have

that Omaha children are thinking of
ways in which they can do their bit"
