WHEAT SHORTAGE
IS A POSSIBILITY
President of Farm Bureau Federa
tion Says Too Much .is Being
Sent Abroad
Chicago. Oct. 14. Decision to is
sue a statement 'explaining to farm
ers of grain growing states the situ
ation in the wheat market was reach
ed at a meeting today of the execu
tive committee of the American farm
bureau federation. The statement
the committee announced, would
point out the danger of a shortage
before" another harvest and would
urge that exports be curbed in a
statement. J. R. Howard, president
of the federation, declared that un
less "steps are taken at once to re
adjust matters we shall find that we
have exported more wheat than we
can spare and at prices to the farmer
which will discourage production
next year. v
The statement said that the latest
government estimate on the wheat
crop is 770,000,000 bushels, and
with the carry over form 1919 there
is a total of 900,000,000 bushels to
meet all demands up to the 1921 bar
vest. Of this amount, it says, more
than 250,000.000 bushels have either
been exported or contracted for ex
port. With a carry-over of 70.000
000 bushels necessary for 1921, ex
ports and seed, there is accountable.
the organization says, more than
'-.SO, 000, 000 busnels of the available
.O00.000.000. leaving 'a balance of
les3 than 545.000.000 bushels.
"This is 100.000.000 bushels un
der America's normal consumption,"
Mr. Howard said. "There is no se
cret in the grain trade that condi
tions of supply and demand justify a
price of at least $3 nnd possibly $4
a bushel for wheat and present de
moralized condition of the grain mar
ket is largely due to manipulations-
and propaganda by large speculators
who sold tremendous quantities of
wheat abroad in June and July at
prices then prevailing and who are
now trying to fill these orders at
prices that will net them an extra
ordinary margin. One of the large
packing houses is known to hold huge
contracts for export grain and has
been interested in seeing the market
beaten down. "" "

TEAM MATCHED
Athletic Committee Chairman Lar
son Announces Booking of

Legion football team will play its
first game next Sunday afternoon on

has the advantage of good coaching,
which goes a long ways toward win

of the past week has developed fast
team work and the line is heavy
enough to hold most any sort of
opposition.
It is the intention of the Legion
to play largely Sunday games, as
with the baseball season over, inter
est naturally turns to some other
form of amusement on Sunday af
ternoons. The team has recently been equip

new uniform colored jerseys of dark

confidence.
IS ACCTDENTLY SHOT
Fred Rutherford Saturday evening
received a rather severe but fortun
ately not dangerous wound in the
right shoulder as the result of the
accidental discharge of a new Colt
automatic revolver. Mr. Rutherford
has just purchased the weapon and
was engaged in loading and looking
over the gun when in some manner
the revolver was discharged and the
bullet struck Fred in the right breast
and deflecting came out at the right
shoulder. While the accident Is ser
ious enough, a fraction of an inch
either way in the course of the bul
let W'ould have caused a wound that
probably would have meant death.
The patient is now doing as well as
could possibly be expected.

ORDERS-AN APPEAL
IN THE COLE CASE
Eicagree:; Violently With Juagi
Wocdrough's conception of Lzv7
as Applied to Controversy .
From Monday's Xally.
Attorney General Davis raid Sat
urday that he had made up his mind
to order an iminediite aneTl taken
from the decision of Fedoral Judge
Woodrough in ordering Alson B. Coie,
self-confessed murderer. baV: to
Howard county for hearing t: de
termine whether he should be exe
cuted or merely imprisoned.
Mr. Davis did not say so in so
many words, but his conversation in
dicate? a firm cenviction that Judsre
Woodrouirh has made a use of the
powers of the federal court in ha
beas corpus casfs that is not justi
fied by law. He snys that the law
' V v.. III Avviv-ani W U 1 V
jurisdictions has been well settled
for ISO years, and that the authority
is against the popition of Judge
Woodrough.
Mr. Davis will appeal for another
reason than that he believes Cole
should not be given an oportunity-
to plead jeopardy, with a chance , of
getting away with it and his freedom 1 1" "l ' t a'V "
at the same time. He believes that , Vt0 J th?n&?i yar- Th,S ls Sl?OW,n
if Judge Woodrough 's position is wefl!l,y .the ,ff 1 hf n? e -grain is
taken it will mean the opening of moving into the terminals than moved
the federal courts to all murders con- during corresponding . periods last
victed by the state and while it may
not prove a haven for them it will
incite their appealing there on a last
chance notion.
The conception of the law as the
attorney general puts it, and which
he says is the established one, is that
when a federal court assumes juris
diction tor the purpose of inquiring i
mio a nianer 11 aoes not uuraen it- f
itii aau 1,114 uii ,T J iJ lu luc itluui-
cal procedure, but merely inquires
as to,-whether a plea has been made,
is?ues joined, or whether the parties
were present.
The Attorney General feels that
the federal ccurt should have given
full credence to what the circuit of
n ttoo 1 t Via f arlora 1 cri riv a nrtu
the state supreme court and several
ditrict courts of the state had said
with reference to the points involved

GRAIN AND COAL CAR
SITUATION IS EASIER
Nebraska State Railway Commission
Says Price Slump Causes Supply
T. A. Browne Explains.
The grain and coal car situation
has occupied the attention of. the
Nebraska State Railway commission
considerably lately, and the shortage
of such cars recently in the state has
been the source of anxiety on the
part of the commission. Commis
sioner Thorne A. Browne has nfs'ued
a statement concerning the situation,
in which he declares the situation
has eaed up somewhat. His state
ment in part follows:
"The grain car situation is easing
up a little to those who desire to
ship, net because there are more cars
available at this time, but because
. UV111UUU
I "Inspite of the fact that the In
terstate Commerce commission has
ffince June been giving direct atten
tion to the return of box cars from
jthe east and the south to the grain
growing states west of the Mississippi
there have actually been somewhat
co-operation between railroads and
shippers, plus better condition of mo
tive power and higher efficiency of
labor have increased the average
movement of cars very materially
over a year ago."
Although the normal amount of
coal in storage for the winter is not
1 now in the state, there are only a
points in Nebraska where the
shortage is dangerous. Some public
utilities have very little in storage
and in one or two instances have
been granted a priority in movement.
The railroads of the state supply of
coal ahead, although this is not dis
tributed properly. The supply of
coal in the Omaha terminals would
last only hree. days if no additional
supply were secured. Coal conditions
in other part of the country are much
more acute.

BIG ORDER
FOR PLATTS
MOUTH GOODS
L. C. SHARP CO. HAS ORDER FROM
CHICAGO COMPANY FOR 50 BUT
' TER CUTTING MACHINES.
During the national dairy show
held in Chicago in the last month,
the L. C. Sharp company of Platts
mouth had on the floor one of the
famous butter cutting machines that
has been perfected by Mr. Sharp and
a large number of which are now in
use in the large creamery plants in
the middle west. This machine was
the one big attraction in the machin
ery line shown and attracted uni
versal attention from the visitors to
the show that included persons from
all parts of the United States and
Canada.
The machine was exhibited by the
A. H. Arnold Co., of Chicago, who
have been interested in the products
of the Sharp factory and they were
delighted with the interest shown fn
tlP new machine.
Yesterday Mr. Sharp received a
representative of the Arnold company
who came west to place with the
Sharp company an order for fifty of
the butter cutting machines and
which cost $2,500 each at the retail
price and the aggregate cost will
make a neat sum for this thriving
Plattsmouth industry.
This butter cutting machine has
been perfected by Mr. Sharp and is
without doubt the best of its kind ia
the market today. It has the ad
vantage over other makes of machines
in that it is able to cut the most
highly frozen butter which has been
one of the difficulties of other makes,
and this feature has been recognized
by the large creameries of the coun
try. The Fairmont creamery of Omaha
has a number of these butter cutting
machines and will install other of
the machines as their capacity per
mits.
