BASIS ADOPTED
BY MILLING co.
Lexington Mill Co. Has Ca
pacity of 500 Barrels Flour
and 125 Barrels
Meal Daily.

The resourcefulness of Americans
is shown every day n their ability
to adapt themselves to changing con-
ditions. This is splendidfy illustrated
in the change of policy of the Lex
ington Mill and Elevate: company,
which was established in 1884 at
Lexington, Neb., by L. NJ. F. LEI
lang.
Under his management the bust
ness of the Lexington mill has grown
until it extends from coast to coast
and to foreign countries.
About eight years ago Mr.. Leflang
moved to Omaha and has been a
heavy investor in business property
in this city. His milling interests,
which included seven elevators To-
Gated at Willow, Sutherland, Chap
pell, Arnold, Stapleton and McGrew
in Nebraska and Sedgwick, Colo,
and two leased elevators at Pinebluff
and Hilsdale, Wyo., were turned
over to his son, A. c. Leflang.
This great milling concern has
kept pace in its growth with the de-
ryelopment of the milling industry in
Nebraska. In 1915 the old mill, built
in 1884, which had a capacity of zoo
barrels, was replaced by new mill
with capacity of 500 barrels OF
wheat flour and rs barrels of meal
every "a hours. The volume of bust
ness for 1918 was STA, 900.

APPROVED BY
LOWER HOUSE
Measure, Known as FilIey
Substitute, Outlines Methods
Applied in Starting New
Banks in Nebraska.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln. Neb.. March 26.-(Spe-
ial.)-Spokesmen for the Farmers
Union in the Nebraska house were
"steam-rolled" this morning in their
opposition to the Filley substitute
for S. F. No. 244, providing that new
banks shall not come under the
protection of the state guaranty law
for the first two years of their ex-
istence.
Governor Mckelvie called in %
republican farmer members of the
house Tuesday afternoon and asked
them. as party measure to support
the Filley substitute. Not all of
them did so, but the governors in
fluence was sufficiently strong to
swing a considerable number of
them into line As an inducement
for theK support, the governor
agreed to have the time reduced
from three years to two, and the
substitute bill was changed accord
ingly by the banking committee.
Lead Fight Against Bill.
Osterman, democrat, and Lam
pert, republican, led the fight
against the governors bill on the
floor of the chamber. The original
senate bill, which gave the State
Banking board discretionary power
to deny bank charters. was first
read Rampert offered an amend
ment, providing that where Is per
cent of the legal voters IN conf
munity should petition for a new
bank it should be mandatory upon
the board to grant it. This was
voted down, together with one by
Osterman proposing Is per cent
petition.
The house voted to adopt the
Filley substitute, doing away with
the boards discretionary power and
providing instead that no new bank
should have the protection of the
state guaranty fund until it had
been doing business two years.
Clauses had been added to it for
bidding any new bank to pay any
promotion, or organization expense,
fixing the penalty at $4,000 fine for
making false statement in regard
thereto, and providing for .ancella-
ton of the charter in case the facts
were misrepresented- to the Banking
board.

By a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., March 26.-The
senate in committee of the whole
approved H. r. No. 90, introduced
by Rep. Fuller and known as the
dog tax bill. 1t was advanced to
third reading.
The bill as it now stands provides
that state tax of s. shall be levied
on all male dogs; S. on all females
and requires the owners of kennels
to pay kennel tax of 81 to $40 each
additional dog. The bill gives the
owner of live stock, or poultry the
right to kill any dog found modest
ing his live stock or chickens. The

eliminated by the senate.
Among bills which the senate
passed this morning was those car
rying salary increases for various
county officials.
