The public school question for Lin.
ton is now before us. 1t is of the
greatest Importance to the people Of
the Emmons county capital. We ash
that every attention be paid to this
matter by the voters of this schoo
district. On one thing we must al
agree. The interests of the schoo
children of this town must, be cared
for. The children themselves cannot
do it.
Let US all do our share to settle the
questions involved as we believe the,
should be. And, above all, let US see
that we get a school, and such e
school as the needs Of the district re.
quire.
1t is up to the women voters of the
district, too, as well as the men.

1t appears that President Wilson
will soon return to the shores of his
native land. Since the soldier ceased
his share in the argument. another
kind Of warfare has been going on in
Europe. Some sort of an agreement
seems to have been reached through
the efforts Of diplomacy. 1t may not
have been quite as open as we should
have liked. The American people are
not prone to follow blindly the dicta-
ton of any one man, no matter who
that one man might be. However, we
will soon have our inning. The peace
plans and the League of Nations are
soon to be subjects of all-absorbing
interest. Our ideas will conflict, no
doubt. Congress and the president
will have plenty of rough edges to
smooth of.
1t is now a case of an argument be-
twsen the president of one political
Faction and a congress Of another.
1t is no doubt fortunate that such is
the case. When the case is finally
closed, both parties will thus have
contributed their share to the results
1t will thus be the genuine American
product.
We all hope, of course, that our
wise men have at last found the long
desired protection against future
wars and blood-shed. That such pro-
lection has been found, we seriously
doubt. But. if the League of Nations
gives promise of tending to mitigate
against war, then we'll and good. 1t
should then be accepted. If, on the
other hand, there appears to be dan
ger of more seriously embroiling US
than ever before in the struggles
throughout the world, then the part
OF wisdom is to go slow.
We will be better able to judge for
ourselves when the President takes
Congress into his confidence, and the
subjects themselves are brought be-
fore us in their approved form.
There i. even possibility that the
people of the nation may themselves
be given chance to express an opin-
ion on the new departure in world af-
fairs, so far as this country is con-
cerned.
The Record believes in trusting
our neighbors throughout the world
as far as possible, at the same time
keeping weather eye peeled for
possible complications.

From mechanic to electrician to
! travelling salesman to assistant sales
manager to husband are steps taken
by Bert E. Bauer of the Master Sales
Co. during the last six years. Events
have happened in rapid succession
in his young life and now he is ask
ing, What next"
Anything around an auto has a
fascination for Bauer. Electrical
appliances are his speciality, and
nothing seems to give him quite as
much pure JOY as tackling some
knottv electrical problem that some
customer on the road has saved to
have him solve.
For the greater part of the last
six years he has been travelling over
Nebraska, especially the northern
portion. As a preface to his sale, it
is said, he generally renders free
service as an electrical authority and
greets his customers with a lead
me-to-it smile.
During the war Bauer was forced
to forsake his usual mode of life and
help Uncle Sam solve his electrical
troubles. He was stationed at Fort
Omaha in charge of storage batter
les On cars and trucks.
Not Only does Bauer fail to balk
at mechanical troubles, but he even
showed his disregard for marital
short circuits by bestowing his
name on another last month. When
the weeks work is over, he now re-
turns to 26l2 Dewey avenue. He is

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Adjutant Cen

and Chief of Police Garrity were en-
tirely satisfied with conditions in
the race riot zones today, they said.

maintain order with only few
minor disturbances, and Chief Gar

further rioting was ended.

Six hundred whites were dis
persed only after a machine gun
mounted on an automobile had ap-
peared and militiamen with fixed
bayonets had prepared to charge
them.

mischievous understanding.
My spirits bounded at the smile
of comradely comprehension thai
beaned at me as he flourished the
handkerchief. 1t was smile which
relegated Rita Brown to the neither
most outland.
The Surprise Revealed.
"Now I've got you. where you'll

merrily, as he turned ME around, ad-
lusted the handkerchief, and then
slipping his hand under my arm,
guided my footsteps across the
lawn. l knew that we were going
in the general direction of the Dur

when my feet struck the gravel OF

Only Rita Browns voice was
silent. I could visualize through
my combining handkerchief, the
ironical superior smile her face was
wearing.
"Who's doing this?" Dicky de-
manded, taking me by the shoulders
and turning me half way round.
There, now, it'll hit her spang be-

PEOPLE WATCH
WORKINGS OF
new CODE LAW
Governor Thinks New Measure
Has Power to Deal With
Profiteering in the
State.
By P. A. BARROWS.

Lincoln, Aug. 3.-(Special.)-
With the new administrative code
law in effect the people of Nebraska
| will watch with great deal of in
terest its workings, for they have
been told that while it will to GER
tain extent revolutionize the bust
ness methods of the state, it is
guaranteed to give beneficial results
if given a chance.
That Governor McKelvie is sin
cere in his belief that the code will
work out in a beneficial way, hard
ly any one will dispute. The gov
ernor has been in the habit of put
ting new things into effect in his
private business and being rewarded
with results eminently satisfactory.
His confidence in the beneficial
workings of the new code law
should stand for something in the
face of the fact that he has been in
close touch with similar action taken
in other states successfully.
Control Profiteering.
Governor McKelvie has said that
the code law had within its pro-
visions sufficient power to start
things in regard to profiteering,
consequently in the face of recent
acts of the special session of the
legislature, the result of the work
ings of the new law in that regard
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.
One thing which will help things
materially is the probable action of
the federal government to punish
the profiteers. If the federal gov
eminent will give its attention to
the big fellows, there is little doubt
but that Nebraska can handle the
local situation. But with the fed
eral government passive, any state
attempting to go after the situation
would probably find itself up against
hard proposition in which the big
fellows of the country would con-
centrate their energies in an effort
to win the first round in the con-
troversy.
Wholesalers Punish Retailers.
One of the worst propositions
which has come to the attention of
apital city consumers is the action
of certain wholesale firms in trying
to punish retail dealers who have
attempted to buy direct from the
producer.
One story goes that a certain
apple grower came to town with a
proposition to sell certain merchants
apples at so much per barrel. The
matter came to, the attention OF a
certain wholesale dealer in the city
and the grocer was told if he bought
apples of the farmer he would have
to buy all the rest of his food prod
ucts of the farmer as he could do
business no more with that whole
sale firm. The result was that the
merchant was compelled to turn
down the farmer, for the only place
he could buy the other things he
needed in his business was from the
wholesalers.
| If the new code bill can bring
about a solution of that problem
allowing the merchant to buy where
he can get goods the cheapest, ii
will have performed great thing
and the people Of the state can truly
feel thankful that the law is in OPP
