Republican Legislation Will Save
Farmer Now
(Omaha Bee

Between the Nebraska farmers and
any such losses as those of the de-
f1ation period stands the War FL
nance Corporation. The pressure
that forced live stock to be sold
regardless Of whether market con-
ditions We're favorable or the stock
itself was mature must not again be
allowed TO affect middle western
ranchmen and farmers. This great
influence for the orderly marketing
of farm products is one of the great
est factors making for general bust
ness confidence.
with crop conditions in some sec
tons Of Nebra ska at a crisis on ac-
count Of torrid weather, the War
Finance agency in Omaha stands
ready with ample funds from the
government to relieve the situation"
j. M. Flanagan, executive secretary,
announces. He says also that the
banks of Nebraska generally are i'm
a strong financial position, and that
all have the backing of the War
Finance Corporation for the proper
handling Of the harvest.
Thus assured, the avoidance Of any
such crisis as marked the two pre-
yous years is made possible. The
establishment of the War Finance
Corporation saved agriculture from
ruin in the first instance, and Con-
gress by extending its operation for
another year, has done much to put
farming and ranching on a firm and
prosperous basis and to keep it there.
The gain is not solely that of the
farmer, but one in which the whole
nation shares. The measure of
American prosperity is the degree
of success achieved by the men on
the land.

Oar Ancestors Treated
Constipation Naturally

Constipation Is as old as the world.
Most people must fight it from birth
to death. Some use harsh cathartics
or metallic drugs that force relief. but
do not strengthen the organs so that
they perform their functions normally.
Our early ancestors turned to Ma
ture for pleasant relief. From herbs.
banks, roots and leaves blessed with
laxative properties, they prepared a
pleasant, effective extract. Such a
remedy as our forefathers made is

Some one asked the Lewiston Jour-
nal the date of the hanging of the
! mutincers, Cox and Williams, in Au-
burn. The hanging took place on
Aug. 20, 1858, in front of the court
house. They were convicted of the
murder of the captain, mates and a
seaman of the brig Albion Cooper of
Portland. The gallows stood between
the. court house and the Jail steps,
and the execution was public, even
children being allowed to watch the
gruesOme proceedings. Two hundred
people had gathered around the gal
lows before daybreak, and nearly ten
thousand saw the execution. Trains
and carriages from all over Maine
brought whole families. and the Au-
burn Artillery was called out to pre-
serve order. The hangman was Y. S.
Marshal Kimball, and his task was
so distasteful that it seriously affect
ed his health. Cox was a negro, and
| Williams, a Belgian. Williams be-
t ecution, and declared that God would
| save him by a miracle.
There are 1853 boys and girls
camps in Maine with an enrolment
the present year of $500, according
TO the census just completed by the
State of Maine Publicity Bureau.
These camps are open during July
and August and during the past few
years have been growing very rapidly,
the increase this year being nearly
SO per cent over that of the previous
year. These figures were taken from
| the records of the transportation
| companies and consequently are cor
| rect, as they were the actual number
! Of children carried by the railroad.
! Few realize the extent of this bust
ness as the camps usually are located
on the shores of some lake and in
some secluded spot away from the
main travel highways and railroads.
. The Publicity Bureau estimates this
| business amounts to between $3,000,-
900 and 100000 annually. In
! Guiding children, teachers, counsell-
ors and employees there must be TO-
600 people quartered in these camps
during the summer, as one camp
alone had a combined total Of $50.
,, While the great majority of these
camps are located in the Southwest
! ern section of the State. the present
tendency seems to be to go further
cast, as some of the later camps have
| been located in Piscataquis and
Washington counties.

purpose in case the legislation is not
enacted at this session." the letter
continued, 'I venture to express the
Legislation your support, but will urge
other senators to carry out the pledge

NEW YORK. December s.-Higher
prices were general throughout to-
days two hours session on the curb
exchange. partly as the result of con-

stocks closed higher on the day.

Perhaps the most noteworthy incl

points in the shares of Stutz Motor

between this company and Studebaker
Corporation. That these rumors were
absolutely unfounded became known
when the Studebaker president made
public the statement that no such
negotiations were being considered
During the last hour Stutz dropped
