Seek Reduction Of
Fare to Fair Grounds
From II to l0Cents

Lincoln, Aug. 27.-Secretary E.
r. Danielson of the State Board Of
Agriculture has inquired of the rail-
way commission whether the Lin
coin Traction company can legally
collect II cents as the rate of fare
between Lincoln and the state fair
grounds. He thinks this an excess
sive charge and believes it may cut
down the attendance of city people
at the fair next week
Secretary Browne of the railway
commission finds that the order is
sued year ago permits the trac-
ton company to collect IS cents
extra fare" on the line to the fair
grounds, this revenue to be applied
on the cost of the new terminals
which were installed at that time.
The regular fare at that time was
5 cents, making, the total 10 cents,
but since then the United States
court has raised the city fare to 6
cents, and that automatically raises
the combined rate to II cents.
Mr.. DaHie1son would be glad to
remit cent out of each fare from
the states portion if it could be
arranged, so as to hold the total
fare down to 10 cents.

LOYAL FARMER
OFFERS Reward
FOR |NCENDIARY
Matches and Scrap Iron Hid
den in Fields of Man Who
Was Active in Aiding
U. S. Agents.

Kearney, Neb., Aug. 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-W. H. Grassmyer, Riverdale
farmer, has offered reward of $500
for information leading to the arrest
aud conviction of the incendiary
who attempted to destroy his wheat
crop valued at several thousand
dollars. Scrap iron was also hidden
in the bundles in all attempt to
destroy the machine threshing his
crop.
Mr.. Grassmyer was active two
years ago in the campaign to sup
press pro-Germanism in the vicini-
>ty of Riverdale and devoted large
part of his time working with gov
ernmeht agents in ferreting out
alien enemies. He assisted in Sc
curing the internment of Rev. Mr..
Kraudelitis in Fort Riley. The
minister was later transferred to
Salt Lake City and was paroled af-
ter the signing of the armistice.
Mr.. Grassmyer, who is of German
descent, says he incurred the enmity
of German residents in the vicinity
of Riverdale and is of the opinion
that these enemies are responsible
for the attempt to destroy his crops.
Federal officials have been informed
of the circumstances and may in
vestigate.
Two stacks of wheat on the Grass
myer farm were destroyed by FIRE
started by matches hidden in the
stacks. After the fire matches were
found hidden over the entire field.
One entire field of bundles was
found "salted" with scrap iron.
Fearing damage to his machine, the
owner of the threshing outfit re-
fused to continue, work and Mr..
Grassmyer was forced to purchase
the entire outfit.
Each bundle was opened and the
cbstructions removed and the re-
mainder of the crop threshed. More
than $4,000 worth of wheat was
saved and has been marketed.

GOVERNOR CALLS
FOR OBSERVANCE.
OF LABOR Day
Cooperation Between Capt.
tai and Labor Necessary to
Solve Peace Problems,
Says McKeIvie.

Lincoln, Neb.., Aug. H-Co-oper-
alton between labor and capitol, says
Governor McKelvie In his proclama-
ton in calling for the observance Of
next Monday at Labor Day, will
solve the country's peace time prob
lens in the same manner that the
war situation was met when en-
ployers and employees joined hands
to insure victory for America and
its allies. He deprecates the draw
ing of class distinctions between
manual and brain workers. All, he
says have a part in the work of the
world and are entitled to equal
credit.
The governors Labor day mani
festo says:
an the legislature of 1889, F. T..
Ransom of Otoe County introduced
bill in the state senate setting
apart the first Monday in September
as Labor Day. This bill passed
both branches of the legislature and
was approved March %. 1889 by
John NJ. Thayer, governor. Hence,
tor so years it has been recognized
as one of the legal holidays of the
state, thereby recognizing the great
Importance of labor in our social
and political economy.
Labor Is Necessary.
Nothing worth while has ever
been brought to pass without toll.
Labor is the law of the universe and
no one can hope to succeed without
complying with its mandate. The
sluggard will not plow by reason of
the cold; therefore, he shall beg in
harvest and have nothing We have
allowed ourselves to drift into think
ing that there are two great classes,
one who labor and those who do
not. This is a mistake. 1t is true
there are two great classes of la
borers. one who plan and devise and
those who in various ways carry
out those plans. The architect who
designs and the man or men who
prepare and place the material are
both laborers, both necessary, and
are equally entitled to credit. One
is as much entitled to sit on throne
or adorn a pedestal as the other.
an these days ! think the ten
dency is to do away with the dis
lance that has in the past, to some
measure, interviewed between So
called labor and capital. In reality
there is no such space; in fact, can
not be. They must stand together
in order to accomplish results. The
handcannot accomplish without the
head to direct.
Nation Belongs to All.
This nation of ours belongs to
all of its citizens, rich and poor. All
over the land the toilers co-operated
loyalty with theI employers in win
ming the great war. 1t is now up to
these same employees and employers

to continue that fine spirit of CO.
operation in solving the problems
we face today. These employees and
employers alike gave their sons and
their money to win the war. The
problems Of peace require no such
sacrifice and will be successfully
worked out by the loyal, patriotic
American people.
TO bring these two great factors
into sympathy with each other is,
or should be, the prime intent of
Labor day. In this spirit we are
led to call attention to the approach
of the day, which occurs Monday,
September !, and, as before men-
toned, this is a legal holiday and
should be observed as such. I sug-
gest that stores. shops and other
places of business, so far as practi-
cable, he closed in order that all
may avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of joining with organizations,
who, no doubt, will plan for its
proper celebration.
81, therefore, as governor of Ne
braska. proclaim Monday, September

It is important to take good care
of the teeth. If they are allowed to
decay, the food cannot be masticated,
indigestion results, and the body Is
not properly nourished. The bony
portions of the jaws which hold the
teeth in place are absorbed after the
teeth fall out, allowing the cheeks to
sink in. which makes the face look
long and thin.
Dental decay Is caused by fermenta-
ton of small particles which r per-
mitted to remain in the crevices be-
the teeth. This fermentation is
due to bacteria and results in the
formation of acids which dissolve the
lime salts of the teeth.
The hard white outside coating OF
the teeth, known as the enamel, is
first attacked. This Is destroyed al
spots where the food is lodged and
| the softer interior substance of the
tooth is exposed; this Is rapidly eaten
away. and a cavity Is formed which
increases in size until only a hollow

and severe pain or toothache is produ-
ced when dental decay extends into
