No Reason For a Change

There people who are always ready to make

who have ine1hausbe capacity for believing
all the promises that made to them about what may
be gained by throwing avay the old and accepting the
Such people, fortunately, seldom constitute

long period and finally settled upon form Of amend

rnsmbers Of that committee, who worked long and
faithfully in this matter, not prominent in the
effort adopt that amendment For some reasan the
rnembers Of that committee have failed to make the

Grain Warehouses
Must Be Licensed
Railway Commission Explains
Operation Of New Law;
No Bonds Required.

Lincoln, Aug. 4.-(Special.) 1.-The
state railway commission today issued
the following statement relative to
the operation of the new grain ware
house law:
All cooperative companies storing grain
must make application to the commission
for warehouseman's license. must submit
monthly reports OF grain held In storage
to the commission, but need furnish no
bond. or course, the r"al value obtain
ing from the law comes from the furnish
ing Of the bond.
Farmers who are members of strictly
&C operative companies should know that
their grain is wholly unprotected by any
bond required by law and on file with
the railway commission, 1t is understood
that some such companies require bond be
furnished by the manager. However. the
requiring of such bond from the manager
Is optional with the company. The com.
mission Is requiring all cooperative COM
panies requesting licens', without the sup
plying of bond, to adopt appropriate by
laws providing for the storage Of grain
for members only.
The present law Is very specific and de-
fines storage grain as any grain which is
held by the elevator or warehouse for 4
period longer than 10 days without pay
ment therefor being made. AT the present
time as warehouse licenses are In effect.
Perhaps nine of these are issued TO CO.
operative companies which under the OLD
law were required to furnish bond. The
commission has men in the field who are
checking on grain elevators and
warehouses for violation Of the law. the
greater number of licenses are held by
stations in the southeastern part OF the
state. a.,
Some few violations have been dis
covered, usually due to the fact that gram
has been held for more than 10 days with
out payment for same being made, and 1t
not being regarded by the company or
grain owner as stored grain. In such
cases the company has made application
snr license or has Immediately adopted
the policy Of making payment for grain
within the Today period.

BY J. J. MUNDY.
Auto Accidents.

If you happen to be in an auto.
mobile accident do not talk too
much.
Do not keep assigning different
reasons which occur to you as a
reason for the accident.
Statements of this sort may be
used against you in case a lawsuit
is started by the one whose car is
damaged.
You are supposed to have your
brakes in good running order, and
you are expected to know how fast
your car is going and about what
distance it would take to make a
stop at certain speeds.
When you are in an accident, get
the time, the place, the names Of
those in the car and their addresses
if you can and by all means take
down the number of the license and
the state where issued.
If there are any bystanders who
saw the accident it is we'll to get
their names and addresses even
though the car is not badly damaged.
Claims may be made later in court
that more damage was done than.

Romance in Origin
OF Superstidions
BY H. I. KING.
Burying With Feet to the East.

Burying With Feet to the East.
In many old graveyards in this
country the graves are so placed that
the body lies with its feet to the east.
This is form of Orientation and a
manner OF burying still generally fol-
lowed in Europe. OF this Elworthy
says: at may we'll be maintained that
all our modern notions included in
the general term Orientation are but
survivals OF the once universal SUM-
worship" He regards Our still OBJ
served custom of burying our dead
with the feet toward the east as one
which though originating in heather
times, is not to be regarded rs being
still "an act of idolatrous survivor
ship but as having been changed
into pious custom of religious sig
ni6cance. He adds: Among the abo-
riginal Australians who are still
cannibals the graves have direction
from east to west and the foot of the
grave is toward the rising sun"
The whole subject of Orientation
has received much attention from
learned writers and there is con-
siderable literature ON the subject,
Though all agree that its origin was
in sun-worship, yet on other points
the authorities are not all agreed. For
that matter neither, apparently, were
the heathens. For while the Egyp-
tians built their temples so that they
opened toward the east, allowing the
beams of the rising sun to enter and
gild the statues placed at the west
end, Clement of Alexandria says that
in general the affairs and images OF
the pagan temples were placed at the
east end and the temple opened to
the west. And all alike were sun
worshipers.
