The governor says:
Three additional appointments in

necessary by the resignation of o.
Mckelvie, who was appointed bank
examiner, and Miss Hart and Miss
Miskell, who were appointed to
clerical positions in that department
Miss MiskeIl decided to remain

employed, with Burkett. Wilson and
Brown, and Mr.. McKelvie and Miss
Hart rendered their designations in
order that the administration NIGH,
be relieved of criticism on account
of nepotism. All of these resigna.
tons were voluntary and have been
accepted.
For myself, am prepared to say

to the banking board) that | do no,

against the dangers surrounding the
appointment OF my brother and Miss

Land Commissioner
Wants Legislation to
Build More Parks
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Jan. 5. - (Special) - A
state park commission is advocated
by Land Commissioner Grant Shum-
way in his biennial report to the
governor. In it he says:
my attention was called to the
fact that among The unclassihed
lands were tracts of FIVE, 10 and 20
acres in several counties over the
state. These were originally sub
divisions under the law which pro-
vided timber for the use of the peo-
pie. The attention of the Lincoln
Automobile club was called to 20
acres lying eight miles south of this
city. After an examination the as
ISOLATION leased the 20 acres and
have converted it into park. There
are some grand old trees-a number
Of elms, blackberry and scattering
walnuts-over this tract. The shade
is so dense that grass does not
properly develop under the trees,
and | would suggest an amendment
to the law permitting the removal of
a portion of the timber from school
lands. under the direction of the
land commissioner, where it may be
found that the proper conservation
and profit of the tract be better OBJ
served by the sale and removal Of
such timber.
Wants Park Commissioner.
II would recommend also the Gre
alton OF a state park commission, OF
which the land commissioner should
be made chairman, and an examina-
ton of other tracts of state land Of
less than 40 acres; also private lands
which might be acquired, T. deter
esinc their availability for park pur-
loses"
The commissioner is opposed to
the sale of the school lands OF the
state, except that part which is re-
CURED to be sold under the present
law. He believes that free and open
bidding should be had in all cases.
He calls attention to land sold in
Wyoming under the bidding system
Tor 500 an acre, where land in Ne
oraska. just across the line, of the
same quality, brought only $50 an
acre under the present SYSTEM

Dresses designed for the younger
misses wear-for school and else
where-this fall are the most satisfac-
:ory that have been presented for
many seasons. They reflect the at
:ributes Of young girlhood-or at any
ate the attributes we like to find in
1oung girls. These frocks are sturdy,
simple, quite plain, very neat and prac-
lice much restraint in the matter Of
trimmings. They clothe the immature
figure to the best advantage and are
calculated to educate their young
wearers In the fitness Of things, the
suiting Of clothes to occasions and to
youth. The designers Of dress for
misses and junior misses are not al
ways conscious Of their responsible
ties in this matter, but the best pri-
vate schools and academies realize
its Importance. They are careful to
prescribe what may be worn by the
girls under their charge. Girls in the
public schools have not the advantage
Of this system. but the designers Of
ready-made dresses for them have
made good choice easy this fall.
"For school" is written on the en-
gaging frock for girl in her early
teens, that is shown here. 1t is every
thing that such frock should be and
is so adequately pictured that it hard

Big Demand for Pennies.

The demand for pennies con-
tinues so great that the United
States mint at Denver is working
overtime turning out 100000 cop
pers each twelve hours, according
to Thomas Annear, superintendent.
''The mints cannot turn out enough
pennies, nickels and dimes to fill
the demand" said Mr.. Annear.
THE shortage of smaller coins has
existed for the last three years, al
though hundreds of millions of
pennies, nickels and dimes have
been coined by the various federal
mints. I suppose the demand will
be finally supplied some of these
days" Denver Post.
