WASHINGTON April t5-Gen. John
J. Pershing announced his candidacy
for the Presidency at a meeting and
dinner OF the Nebraska Society OF
Washington held here last night.
Formal announcement by General
Pershing OF his willingness to accept
the Republican nomination followed the
recent statement from Lincoln by his
supporters that his name would be en-
tered in the Nebraska primaries.

enter the n braska primaries. has elm
mated himself from The contest in that
Slate and the recent commander OF the
American Expeditionary Forces is ex-
peeled TO get the Nebraska delegation
and may have that of other States
In addressing his fellow-Nebraskan
last night General Pershing sa ID he felt
his long service in the government
made it incumb Mt upon him TO serve
as President if he is called upon by
the country to perform the duties OF
that highest office. The generals state
ment puts him squarely in the Repub-
liean contest and although most OF the
delegates to the party convention prob
ably will go without instructions,
situation may arise wherein they would
Turn to Pershing.
General Pershing said ne regarded
himself as a son Of Nebraska because
OF his long residence in that State. His
candidacy got away TO a flying start
at the dinner OF The Nebraska Society,
composed Of a large number Of native
now living in Washington.
II is understood General Pershing
reached a d cision to wait no longer
with his announcement after his re-
turn from Baltimore. The Nebraska
dinner gave him a favorable oppor-
Iunity TO throw his hat in The ring"
among home folks.

HEADS FOR STAND

That public sentiment is against the
striking railroad men was evidenced by
the adoption OF a resolution by the
Rotary Club, an organization compos~ ii
OF men representing various branches OF
business, early this afternoon. --
The resolution, which was offered by
Henry Bush, deplores the railroad
strike and urges the men TO return TO

Mr.. Bush spoke in favor of IL and
told OF a conversation he had with
Gamble Latrobe, general superintendent
She cnr a. avs o. .u 'eaA-

which Mr.. Latrobe said he and the
loyal employees OF the railroad would
like TO have some public expression OF
sentiment. as the strikers had a delu-
sion public sympathy was with them.
Joseph Bancroft seconded the resolu-
tion, and like Mr.. Bush, he spoke OF the
necessity Of letting the strikers know
is not with them. C. d. Gar
relson spoke along the same line. The
resolution then was adopted unani-
mously, amid applause. IL reads as fol-
lows:

Professor Wesley Webb, secretary Of
The State Board OF Agriculture. was al.
lowed the privilege of the floor and ex,
planned the need OF such q meausre.
He said government experts had
figured it would take two or thres
years to rid Delaware herds OF tubercu-

Webb said there were about A5,0O<

think il should be hurried through
the Senate when IL was only on Tues
day that 1t was passed by the House.
He said he would like more time 10 ex-
anime the provisions OF the bill before
voting for II but that he desired to sup

Senator Robertson also objected ia
any hurried action by the Senate Ha
said II 80 per cent. OF the cattle OF New

LEARN TO WAIT
NJ. C. ROBBINS

Learn to wait-life's hardest lesson;
Conned, perchance through binding
tears;
While the heartthrobs sadly echo
To the tread OF passing years.
Learn TO wait-hopes slow fruition,
Faint not though the way seem long
There is JOY In each condition,
Hearts though suffering may grow
strong.
Constant sunshine, howe'er welcome.
Nc'er would rlpen fruit and flower.
Giant oaks owe half their greatness
To The scathing tempest's power.
Thus a soul untouched by sorrow
Aims not at higher state;
Joy seeks not a brighter morrow.
Only sad hearts learn to wait.
Human strength and human greatness.
Spring not from lifes sunny side.
Hero's must be more than iriflwood
Floating on waveless tide.
Let us wait in prayer and silence.
Let Us gather what is given:
Only waiting let Us trust Him.
He will guide our steps to Heaven

THE FARM
LABOR QUESTION

The past season has shown that
the question of labor on the farm
Is one of vital Importance. Seven
million farms in this country need
ed additional labor. Some relief
was afforded through the release
from the army of thousands of
men who were either employed in
outdoor work previous to the war
OR who through their army expert
ence have come to prefer outdoor
work to that which they were do
ing before they entered the army.
But the problem was not entirely
solved in this way, as the supply
OF labor released through the de-
mobilization of the army fell short
of the amount needed by the
American farmer.
The obvious solution to this
problem lies in making the farm
attractive to labor and in making
full use of all labor saving devices
at tue service of the farmers. Fac
tory hours and factory wages still
attract labor despite the fact that
the actual working conditions are
far less healthful than those on the
farm. And OF course city life, too,
Is a powerful attraction. The far
mer, however, is not at the disad-
vantage he once was. The tractor
and other improved farm nipple
ments have made work lighter and
IN the last year OF so there has
been a tremendous increase in the
use of small electric light and
power plants which not only give
as bright and cheerful light as that
enjoyed in the city but which fur
nlsh power for pumping, chu rning,
