W.C.T.U. Will
Fight Tobacco
Lincoln.—With the United States
dr.. the Nebraska W. C. T. U. will
now turn its attention towards el
'minating the use--®f tobaero, accord
ing to announcement made here by
Mrs. M. L. Claflin of University
Place, in outlining the organization'
program for the coming year.
"Nebraska women will endeavor
♦o secure legislation prohibiting the
use of tobacco," said Mrs. Claflin.
"We believe it to be an injurious
habil—not so bad as the lic.uor hab
it, but stilt one which costs th»
country millions of dollars annual
ly which should' be devoted to oth
er purposes. •
"The Nebraska W. C. T. U. will
also adopt the slogan of a dry
wo*id in 1930, which is the aim of
th« national organization. Already
w-> , ave had appeals from China.
Mexico and several other countries,
asking for our assistance in formu
la! :n,j a program for the prohibition
camuaigns which will be waged in
•hose countries.
"Child' welfare work and educat
ing thP women of Nebraska to the
exercise of their newly won fran
chise riphts are the other branches
o' work which the organization will
devote attention to. Tile loss of
life iu this state among children is
much too heavy. There must be
improved conditions in the home
au<» the W. C. T. U. is going to
do what it can to bring these a
bout.
"Over 200,000 Nebraska women
ha\v beeu given the ballot under
the partial suffrage law. The W. C.
T U. has a big field ahead of it in
instructing them as to the enjoy
ment of their franchise rights and
we expect 'o devote a great deal of
time towards seeing that Nebraska,
worn vote."

Paul Revere
Ride
Missoula, Mont, Feb. 17.—In the
death of William C. Murphy, who
passed away recently in Seattle,
j Wash., Montana lost one °t her
early-day heroes. Ia August, 1877,
'■Mr. Murphy made a rltte that
'ranks with Paul Bevere's in the
memories of pioneers pf the treas
ure state.
The Nez Perce Indians, under |
Chief Joseph, were threatening a
| raid down Cedar gulch, where pla
jcer miners were working and had J
' crossed over the mountains from J
! Idaho in great force. Mr. Murphy,
I who was at the time, in CXdjar gulch,
took fhe gold the miners had pan
ned — $40,000 worth in all — and
rode horseback to Missoula, where
ho deposited it. in a bank.
He then galloped) on to Deer
Lodge to arouse the country. The
entire ride of 150 miles he made
without rest, except to change hors
es, eating in the saddle. As a result
the settlers rose and the Indians
were met to holld them until the
army could act.
Mr. Murphy was 72 years of age
at the time of his death. He was
a pioneer merchant and an inti
mate associate of the late Marcus
Daly.
UELUrrM ADOPTS OLD
FORM OP PUNISHMENT
FOR PRO-HUN WOMEN
Bruges—An ancient form of pun
i" merit in favor in the middle ages
has oeen adopted in Belgium for
Belgian women who were too frlend
1" to.vard the German invaders or
who 'istened to their love making.
They hav«» been shorn of their hair
Tn Bruges several women have suf
fer • i this form of retribution and
either must remain indoors or pa
*ronte& the wig makers. It is know
♦ha» this method1 has been apolied in
a* least one other place. The
scenes attending the application of
this punishment has been rather
boisterous.
Corporal punishment is visited up
011 flio pro-Germans among the Bel
f»'an men, but few of these waited
tho wrath of the Belgian avengers.
Thev decamped before th« Belgian
trooDs reoccupied the cities antf
•owns which had been held under
Gei man domination.
Such cases as these have been re
markably few. The wond«r i» that
there have not been more. The
proportion of renegades is so smaJl
as to reflect greater glory on poor
little Belgium.
Aa a whole the civil poDulation
of Belgium has remained wonderful
ly loyal. By their system of oom
munai administration, they were en
abled to govern themselves while the
German wag deluding himself that
he was ruling. It enabled them to
pndure physical privations, suffer
death and resist the insidious pro
p^raan-'a of the German governors,
Von Bissing and his successor, Von
Falkeubausen, who attempted to
tlseparate the Walloons from the
I Flemish and to poison the wells of
| Belgium's patriotims.
