State House Janitors
Find Real Friend in
Land Commissioner

Lincoln. April 25.-The state
house janitors, buffeted about from
pillar to post, have at last found a
friend in Land Commissioner Dan
Swanson and the janitor who now
refuses to follow out the orders
of Commissioner Swanson, who
has charge of the state house and
grounds, ought to be shot at sum
rise.
Commissioner Swanson took out
his allotment of Victory bonds at
his home town of Fremont, and
when the state house committee
struck him for a subscription they
found him supplied. However,
Dan" was equal to the occasion
and said to the committee:
In the last drive the state house
janitors contributed to the loan, but
most of them could i'll afford to do
so and l understand before the war
was over, had to dispose of the
bonds at loss for family expenses.
Now l want you people to leave
them alone this time and if you
will do it / will take an additional
amount Of $500"
The committee accepted his prop
osition and the state house janitors
are happy, or at least they ought
to be,

STATE OFFICERS
MUST BUY EXTRAS
AT own EXPENSE
Men Who Travel on State
Business Must Stick to Com
mon Coaches Or Pay for
Pullman Seats Selves.

Lincoln, April Estate officers
and employees who make trips out
in the state on state business and
desire to sit among the upholstered
scenes within a Pullman drawing
room car instead of mingling with
the common people in the chair car
or common coach must pay for that
privilege out of their own packets,
according to an order issued by
State Auditor George w. Marsh to-
day.
II am willing to be as fair as pos
sible," said the auditor this morn
ing, but l think that if these peo-
pie want special accommodations
they should pay for them out of
their own pockets"
The auditor, has been searching
the statutes, and has been unable to
discover any chapter which provides
that stuffed furniture should be on
the bill of fare when an official or
employee is on state business or that
they should sleep on beds as soft
as downy pillows are" consequently
instead of the stuffed furniture for
the traveller the stuffed club will be
used on all expense accounts sent
for the approval of the state auditor.

CORNER S TONE
FOR UNI CAMPUS
IS LAID MONDAY
First of Four Buildings to Be
Arranged Around Quad
rangle; for Re.
Search Work.

Lincoln, Neb., April 25.-The cor
ner stone OF the new building OF the
University of Nebraska department.
Of animal pathology and hygience
was laid Monday. This building is
the first of three to be constructed
on the university farm campus for
experimental and research work In
animal pathology and hygiene. The
three, together with one already con-
structed, will constitute plant
which it is said will be the best of its
kind in America. The cost of the
plant is now estimyted at about
100000.
The four building will be arranged
around quadrangle. The doors of
all the buildings, with the exception
Of one main entrance, will .pen into
this quadrangle, and all 2atho.ogi-
cal work will thus be housed from
the outside world. This arrangement
is said to be of special importance
in the handling of highly infectious
animal diseases.
3. Semi Fire Proof.
The building now in the course of
construction will be two stories and
a basement. 1t will be semi-fire-
proof and specially and deliberately
equipped for pathological work.
There will be large laboratories,
cold storage rooms, sterilizing facil-
tiles, chemical store rooms. infected
animal rooms, a museum for class
room models, library, and special
rooms for investigation and research.
The outside dimensions are o0x48
feet. The cost will be between $780,
600 and 100000.
The University of Nebraska be-
gan the development of animal pa
thology and hygiene work year go
when it brought to Nebraska DR.. L.
Van Es, noted scientist, to head the
department. DR.. H. NJ. Martin was
also added to the force about the
same time.
Much of the work of the depart
ment will be along lines of hygiene,
the prevention rather than the cure
of disease, according to DR.. Van Els.
He believes that more good can be
done for the live stock industry
along this line than in any other
way. Farmers are more willing and
more able to cooperate in the pre-
vention of diseases than they are
in the application of remedies, Which
requires expert assistance. The pro-
posed, pathological plant at the uni
versitv farm was designed by DR..
Van Es. ....
