coniscattd by the state.
The contribution of the great
est fnancier and patriot" of
America is to invest S2,500.O0O in

THE LORDS PRAYER.

The following beautiful composition
from an unknown source was found in
Charleston, S. c.. during the war. 1t
is printed on heavy satin, and is quite
a literary curiosity:
Those to the mercy-seats our souls
dost gather,
To do our duty unto thee, u Father,
To whom all praise, all honor should
be given;
For thou art the great God who art in
Heaven.
Thou, by thy wisdom. rules the worlds
whole frame,
Forever, therefore, hallowed be thy
name;
Let nevermore delay divide US from
Thy glorious grace. but let, thy King
dom come;
Let thy commands opposed be by
none,
But thy good pleasure and, thy will
be done.
And let our promptness to obey be
even
The very same, in earth as it's in
Heaven.
Then for our souls, o Lord, we also
pray,
Thou wouldst be pleased, to give US
this day
are fed,
Sufficient raiment and. our daily
bread;
With every needful thing do thou re-
lieve US,
And of thy mercy, pity, and forgive

STANLEY DRINkWATER
COMPLAINS OF FOOD.
Says the Eats at Camp Dix Were All
Right, But at Camp Gordon
1t Is Different.

Stanley Drinkwater, now at Camp
Gordon, Ca, writes to his father in
part as follows:
We had a turkey dinner Thanksgiv-
ing and had plenty to eat. But they
cut us down again to make up for it,
/ guess. We haven't had a good meal
since. Yesterday noon another fellow
and myself were sen over to head
quarters to act as orderlies, or in 9th
er words messenger boys. We had to
sleep over there all night until 7 o.
clock this morning, so we could answer
the telephone and chase around and
find the parties wanted. We only had
one phone call all night and l answer
ed the phone. A lady wanted to speak
would send my orderly out to hunt
him up. The other fellow didn't like
it much because | called him my or
derby. This morning we had calves
brains for breakfast and a few pota-
toes and mush. The brains were stale
and weren't cooked right, and as the
result, they had to throw the biggest
part of them away, for only a few of
the fellows tried to eat them. This
noon we had a small piece of steak and
a couple of spuds about the size of
golf balls. One fellow was so mad
he wouldn't take any at all. Every
body was mad and it looked as though
they were going to mob the mess SER
geant for a minute. The fellows are
going to get a petition signed to get
him out and put in a new one. He
said he had used ove $4,000 more
than our allowance for food already.
The two months we were in Camp
Dix the mess sergeant saved $500 and
we had plenty to eat and dessert of
some kind every meal. We don't get
enough to eat here, so l don't see how
we can be 500 in the hole.

All our misdeeds, for Him who thou
did'st please
To make an offering for, our trespass-
And forasmuch, o Lord, as we believe
That thou wilt pardon us, as we for
give.
Let that love teach, wherewith thou
dost acquaint us
To pardon all, those who trespass
against us;
And though, sometimes, thou ind'st
we have forgot
This love for thee, yet help, and lead
US not,
Through soul or body's want to des-
peration,
Nor let earth's gain drive us, into
temptation,
Let not the soul of any true believer
Fall in the time of trial, but deliver,
Yea, save them from the malice of the
devil,
And both in life and death, keep, us
from evil.
Thus pray we, Lord, for that of thee,
from whom
This may be had, for thine is the
kingdom,
This world is of thy work, its Won
drous story,
To thee belongs, the power and glory.
And all thy wondrous works have end
ed never,
But will remain forever, and, forever,
Thus We poor creatures would con-
fess again,
And thus would say eternally, Amen.

For the celebration of Ne
braska as a food producing
state, Governor Neville has set
apart the week of March rs as
"Pure Food Week" in Me-
braska, in the following proc
lamation, issued Tuesday:
ITO the People of the State
of Nebraska: BY an act Of
the legislature, passed several
years ago, the governor is con-
stituted the food, drug, dairy
and oil commissioner, and it Is
made his duty to see that all Of
the provisions of the law are
properly enforced. To aid him
in this duty, he is authorized to
appoint a deputy commissioner,
and he, in turn, with the con-
sent of the governor, appoints
a number of inspectors. In
order that all of these officers
perform their duty constant
vigilance is required on the
part of those directly in charge.
Therefore, as governor Of
the state, l am exceeding an
xious that the best possible re-
suits be secured. Food may be
said to include everything we
consume that goes to build up
and preserve our natural life,
as bread, meat, butter and
everything into which the pro-
ducts of the dairy and poultry
industry enter and constitute
the major part, together with
vegetables, of which we con-
sumo enormous quantities, and

Tablet to Memory Of Heine
Is Not to Be Moved Away

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
London, March 6.--The proposal
to remove the tablet commemorative
Of Heine has been postponed. For
this action the London county coun-
Gil. which has jurisdiction in the mat
ter, has been praised in some quar-
tiers and condemned in others. The
condemnation comes from those who
want to eradicate anything German
from British memories, but those
more tolerant call attention to the
fact that it was from London that
Heine wrote some sentences they
aver as worth remembering today, as
for instance, the following:
AN Englishman loves freedom as
he loves his lawfully welded wife;
he regards her as a possession, and,
II he does not treat her with special
tenderness, yet If need be he knows
how to defend her. A Frenchman
loves freedom as he loves his chosen
bride; he will commit 1000 follies for
her sake. A German loves freedom
as he loves his grandmother"

NEBRASKA FOODS ERST' IS THE SLOGAN
Omaha Merchants and Producers Join in the Effort to
Educate People to Use Home Products to Pro-
mote Use Of Nebraska Made Goods.

! that these shall be pure, or as
nearly so as possible, is the
prime intent and justification
for the existence of the law and
for its rigid enforcement.
"This law has worked we'll
in the past and has received
the stamp of public approval,
but that it may be made still
more efficient and bring more
and better results, l deem it
proper to follow in the steps of
former governors and set aside
. week in which all organiza-
ions of commercial endeavor,
all societies of public welfare
and business concerns engaged
In selling, distributing or man.
|afacturing goods, and those en-
gagged in the production of
food, are hereby requested to
DIN in the movement and aid

WHO carry out the will of the

Nebraska is in the forefront

her citizens should vie with
each other in order that her
products shall receive first con.
sideration in the markets of
