KG NDEMNS GERMAN ARMY COMPULSION Max Teich, Native of Germany, Does Not Favor the Prus- sian System. SHOULD TAKE YOUNG BOYS “I am not in favor of the present German system, or any system of compulsory training, which takes a man from the age of 18 to 25 years and gives him military training,” as- serted Max L. Teich, one of the pro- prietors of the New Kaiserhof hotel, Chicago, before he returned to his home after attending the hotel men’s meeting here the first three days of the week. Mr. Teich is a native of Germany, speaks with some accent, but is a substantial, loyal citizen of the United States. “In the first place, many young men want to earn money at that age, and one, two or three years devoted to military training is a serious loss. Men at that time of life are harder to control than at an earlier age. Their ideas are more rigid and discipline is more difficult; tgey look upon the loss of time and this training as an unnecessary hardship. \ Should Take Boys “Now, is it not a fact that the hardest time in which to handle a boy safely and satisfactorily is beween the ages of 12 and 16. Many of therh leave school at this time and get to loafing and bumming around and go wrong for all the rest of their lives. This is the age when the govern- ment should step in and say, ‘We will take your boy for the nex four years, feed and clothe him according to the best scientific methods, give him the best possible physical culture, and in a thoroughly equipped manual and vo- cational training school divide his hours properly between rest, recrea- tion, instructive work, military train- ing and education” Such a system would mean real preparedness for trouble and the practical education and conservation of our American boys.” Solution of Hard Problem Mr. Teich also has thought of a way of interesting the goverpment in the vocational school for hotel employes, proposed by Henry Bohn of Chicago at tfie hotel men’s convention, “When the Illinois militia was mobilizing,” he says, “officers of the guard regi- ments came to me and to my cooks and with tears in their eyes asked me to let them enlist, and told them that the country needed cooks for most of the regiments. Now, if this coun- try is so badly in need of cooks as all that, and you know they 5:{ that an army moves on its stomach, propose that the United States shall give as- sistance to the proposed vocational school at Muncie, and then when war breaks out the hotel chefs who have been trained there will be required to go with the army and feed the men. That would mean superior skill in using the rations issued by the government, for these men would have had experience in serving large bodies of persons, and there would be no trouble in finding enough men who would be glad to learn the well paid trade of chef at the expense of the government on the chance that they might some time be called for service in the war.” Moving Pictures 0f Stecher-Lewis Go At the Auditorium Three choice reels of moving pic- tures have been developed from the several thousand feet of film taken of the Joe Stecher-Strangler Lewis wrestling match, and these three reels will be flashed upon the screen at the Auditorium Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon and evening, so that those fans who failed to see the bout can pass their own judgment on it instead of merely listening to the stories of their neighbors. The reels are very clear and show everything plainly. The first reel is devoted to Lewis in training at the Dietz club, where he is seen in his workouts with Tom Drake. The next reel shows Stecher in training. In this reel Joe is seen chucking big Bill Hokuff around like a ten-pound babe. The third reel shows the match, in- cluding that part where Stecher made his desperate try for the scissors and where the irate fans hurled cushions into the ring.

They are of the “early harvest” variety and fine for making pies, apple sauce and such. There are also some varieties of Cali- fornia early apples here. v Some fine, big plums and peaches are on hand, too, from the orchards of Texas. Peaches are scarce this year and will continue to be so, for no locality has more than half a crop, and many places have none at all. Pears may also be had, though they are rather scarce. The end of the season for straw- berries, red raspberries, currants and gooseberries is in sight. Strawber- County Dads Are In Favor of Free Bridge to Bluffs Douglas county commissioners as a rule are strongly in favor of a free bridge between Council Bluffs and Omaha, but have as yet worked out no definite plan for getting one. Commissioner Frank Best believes that the county or city should either take over the street railway bridge or build a new one. The possibility of obtaining state aid under the law providing for the building of bridges by assistance of the state is being looked into by Mr. Best, who believes it may be possible to do something in this manner. Little support is given by commis- sioners to the idea of buying the sufers(ructure of the old Union Pa- cific bridfes . X “T would not be in favor of doing this unless we could get the whole bridge,” says Commissioner Lynch. Commissioner A. C. Harte stronly in favor of a free bridge. “I believe that by co-operating with Pottawattamie county we could build the bridge in a couple of years with- out a bond issue, by cutting expenses and paying what we can from the bridge fund,” says Mr. Harte. Commissioner McDonald believes that the county should not be gom- pelled to bear the entire cost of the Nebraska end of the bridge. “It is more of a city matter than a county affair,” he says. “The city should be compelled to bear its share.” To Test Liability 0f Counties for the Expense of Insane Attorney L. H. McKillip of Seward has notified Robert Smith, chairman of the insanity commission of Doug- las county, that mandamus action is to be brought to compel Douglas county to pay for the maintenance of an insane patient, A. G. Vroman, committed two years ago from Sew- ard county. ’ Vroman, a Douglas county resident, is alleged to have become insane while an inmate of the soldiers home at Mil- ford. The law provides that the coun- ty in which he is a resident must pay for his maintenance at the state hospital. At least twelve claims of similar character are now before the board. If the county commissioners refuse to pay the claim the matter is to be appealed to district court, thus se- curing an adjudication as to the lia- bility of counties for the expenses of insane prisoners sent up from coun- ties other than the one in which they reside. Weather Man Will Give No Assurance 0f Hot Wave Let Up No sign of a letup in the hot wave et. 7! The minimum temperature has now been up between 88 and 95 degrees every day since June 28—seventeen days. emperatures in the state Thursday ran from 88 to 94 degrees. Omaha's maximum was 88. There, was rain in western Iowa and southeastern Nebraska. Auburn was drenched with 2.12 inches; Fairbury had .81 of an inch; Fairmont, .66, and Sioux City had 1.23 inches. All these rains were merely local. The skies throughout the state were clear to- is day. / {t is still very warm in the west. Miles City, Mont., reported 104 de- grees. It was three degrees cooler here at| 7 a. m. than it was at the same hour Thursday. New Wheat Arriving On Omaha Market in Fair Quantities New wheat is coming onto the Omaha market in pretty fair quanti- ties, and of the forty-five cars re- ceived, five were of this year's crop. The new wheat was all graded No. 2 hard and sold at $1.06 per bushel. This was 2@2% cents under the price paid Thursday. Thursday's figures, at which the sales were made, did not establish a price, because of the spir- ited bidding and the anxiety among bidders to be noted as the first to secure the first car of new wheat. Old wheat sold around 99c@$1.05, with one car of prime stuff fetching $1.07. Corn ‘prices were unchanged to a uarter up, the sales being made at §SV;@77 cents per bushel. Receipts were twenty carloads. WAR Against Hay Fever The Hay Fever Season is now on, and thousands are obtsining relief by the use of “SNUFFINE,” Cook's Hay Fever Re- lief.

COOK CHEMICAL COMPANY, Casper, Wyoming, U. 8. A, ries are now coming in from Wash- ington state, thus marking the end of their climatic progress with the sea- son, from Florida in February to Washington in July. A few red, sour cherries are also left. Blackberries ure still with us. Cantaloupes are on hand in plent and of fine flavor. The price has ad- vanced because of an extraordinary demand. Watermelons are big, fine, juicy, and much cheaper than they were, ranging from to 60 cents for big fellows. . Home-grown sweet corn has ar- rived. The ears aren't very large, but they're well filled. The price is around 50 cents a dozen. The Texas article of a few weeks ago wasn't nnrlf' as good, and commanded double the price. You can get tomatoes, but they are scarce, poor in quality and high in price, a sort of makeshift from Texas, until the home crop arrives, which will be in about a week. It will be a bounteous crop, too, and they will be cheap. 3 Celery, cabbage and head lettuce are especially fine now and are very moderate in price, Green peas ‘are nearly gone, but may be bought for a few days at low pnc;a‘ String beans ate plentiful and good. CROP GONDITIONS GOOD IN NEBRASKA President Calvin of Union Pa- cific Declares Yield is the | Best in Years, WHEAT HARVEST FINISHED| | “During my thirty years' knowledge | of conditions in Nebraska I have| never seen a time when agriculturally | the state appeared as prosperous as| now,” declared President Calvin of | the Union Pacific upon his return| from an inspection trip of the Union| Pacific lines in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. President Calvin was on| the road nearly two weeks and did most of his traveling during the day | in order that he might get a better idea of the conditions in the country tributary to the lines over which he rules. In practically all the country trib- utary to the Nebraska and Kansas lines DPresident Calvin found the wheat harvest finished and the har- vesting of oats well along. Every- where, he says, the wheat crop is about the best that has ever been raised in both yield and quality. The weather has been ideal and the small grain has gone into the shock without any rains after it was cut. 1916. In many localities Presiden Calvin found threshing well under way, the wheat turning out better than was expected and the grade being high “Corn," said President Calvin, “has made wonderful growth since the frescnt spell of hot weather set in. {ardly anywhere is the corn suffer- ing on account of a lack of rain, and will not for several days yet.” | Ten Iowa Guards Injured by Lightning Bolt at Camp Dodge (From a Staff Correspondent.)

Tge minority is in favor of the child labor, workmen's com- Kensation and immigration bills and ope they may be passed.” “Will you support the constitution- al amendment for woman’s suffrage?” asked Senator Thomas. Gallinger for Suffrage. “The senator from New Hamp- shire will,”” replied Senator Gallinger, “but I cannot speak with authority for my associates regarding that measure.” President Wilson decided today to write a letter to Majority Leader Kern of the senate, urging that spe- cial efforts be made to secure the passage of the McGillicuddy compen- sation bill for government employes injured in the federal service and the pending child labor bill.
