UNCXJI.X, Xel., Jun. 4. Keith
Xevillc, aged 3.1, the youngest gover
nor Nebraska ever hud, was inaugu
rated here today with brief and sim
ple ceremonies after John II. More
head, retiring governor, had delivered
his finul message.
In his inaugural speech here today
Governor Neville declared the state
prohibition (intendment recently en
acted was not a political issue, but a
tinny for tlie people to decide, irre
spective of part'- affiliation.
Governor Neville advocated the fol
lowing legislation to make the prohi
bition nmendment recently adopted,
efficient : 1
Creation of u public welfare de-'
partmeiit to assist in prosecution; a
legal department to conduct the pros-!
editions; the sale of intoxicating li-
quors by drug stores should be,
strictly regulated; the shipment into!
the state of beverages containing'
harmful ingredients of inferior qual-j
ity should be prohibited; drinking'
clubs should be prohibited; the pen-'
alty for the sale of liquors in busi-;
ncss places should fall upon the land
lord; drastic penalties to discourage
bootlegging; common rnrriers should
file monthly reports of liquor deliv-!
ercd; municipalities should be given
power to make the law effective;
plants manufacturing beverages;
should be regulated and a certain ap-!
propi intiou should be made to enforce
the prohibition nmendment. j
The governor also made a plea for
the establishment of a state publicity
bureau "so that other people outside j
of the state might learn about Ne
braska." 1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The fed
eral reserve board's official bulle
tin this month discloses that amend
ments to the bank law, governing re
serves recently transmitted to con
gress and now under consideration by
the committee, are intended to aid in
controlling the great gold flow Into
tho country and aro connected with
the board's recent warning against
bank investments in foreign war obli
gations, Issued 'November 28.
"It was suggested," says the bul
letin, "that the Inflow of gold Into
the United States need not be con
sidered a menace to the well-being of
the community, provided that satis
factory provision was made for the
control of Its movement and accumu
lation. Tho question raised is how
to obtain and exercise sufficient au
thority in connection with such con
trol." This, as is now suggested by the
board, can be accomplished by wiping
out fictitious reserves carried in the
form of reserve balances, vesting the
board Itself with power to Increase,
when necessary, the percentage -of
member bank reserves carried with
reserve banks and re-arranging the
reserve requirements of the country
so as to place all reserve funds, ex
cept needed till money, in the hands
of the roserve banks themselves.

Hugh Mitchell, superintendent of
hatcheries for Oregon for the United
States bureau of hatcheries, arrived
in Medford Thursday and leaves Fri
day for the Klk creek hatchery,
where he will start operations for the
construction of the enlarged hatch
ery. He said :
"Koderick Maeleay, owner of the
hatchery ground, lias given us an in
definite lease lor us long us wc wnnt
at a nominal rental for ns much
ground ns wc need, and contract will
be let at once for construction. The
new hatchery will more than quad
ruple the eupucity of the hatchery
and work will be finished in time for
the coming steelhead season. A large
central building, well lighted, will biy
erected, and several large ponds for
feeding constructed."
ENDORSEMENT PUT OFF
(Continued From Page One.)
"My construction is that it does
nothing more than merely approve ac
tion of the United States in sending
the note requesting that terms of
peace be submitted. It does not ask
us to approve specifically the terms
of the note nor of its contents."

A rich, hot cup of INSTANT POSTUM with sugar
and cream is a most delicious beverage.
Try it! particularly if you are one of those with
whom coffee disagrees.
A dozen years ago POSTUM drinkers were compara
tively few. Today, this table drink is served on rail
way trains, on ocean steamers, at leading hotels and
restaurants, and millions use POSTUM instead of coffee
at home.
POSTUM has become popular because it is popular
to be healthy.
