Mayor of Nebraska Metropolis For
21 Years Had Eu; One De
feat for City Head.
James C. Dahlman. mayor of Oma
ha with but two years interlude feiuce
1906. was called ly death Tuesday
night at 11:45 at the Elms hotel at
Excelsior Springs. Mo., where he has
been lor the past ten days taking
t'estment at the springs.
The distin.naished Nebraskan was
stricken Monday and gra.luilly sank
until he peacefully passed away last
night.
Mayor Dahlman has been active in
the political life of Nebraska for more
than forty years, having been elected
sheriff of Dawes county in the
eighties and on coming to Omaha was
immediately in the ranks of the
democratic leaders of the state serv
ing as national committeeman lor
many years.
With the campaign of 1906 in
Omaha when he defeated K. A. Ben
I'oii for mayor and gave the demo
crats their fust executive since early
in the nineties, Mr. Dahlman has
been the political leader of his party
in the state metropolis. His only de
feat for mayor was in 191S when
K. A. Smith was elected to the office.
Mayor Dahlman ascribing his defeat
to the fact that so many of his
younger supporters were in service.
For more than 30 hours prior to
death he had been unconscious fol-

lowing a stroke of apoplexy suffered
early Monday morning.
Mrs. Dahlman, who was at the
bedside when the end came, is bear
ing up well, it was reported by Dr.
E. ('. Robichaux, the physician who
had been attending the mayor. A
daughter. Miss Dorothy Dahlman,
was notified at Omaha.
For mete than 30 years Mr. Dahl
man Lad been a lighting figure in
Omaha and Nebraska politics, and it
was while he was girding himself for.
still another battle that death came.
Just 10 days ago he filed for re
nomination, ar.d the following day he
left with Mrs. Dahlman for Exculsior
Springs, where he had been wont to
recuperate from strenuous days in
other campaigns and where now he
had hoped to rest and prepare him
self for the new fight.
Had Contracted Cold.
The mayor contracted a severe cold
while attending ceremonies in con
nection with the laying of the corner
stone for the new county hospital in
October. He never fully recovered
from that. Recently, too, the press of
official dutie.3 had been heavy. So
when he decided to take a brief rest
before entering again the lists where
for so many years he had met and
conquered the stoutest foes, none who
knew him suspected that he would
return not bearing his shield, but on
it. Nor did he suspect it.
But t?r mayor was 73. His heart
was weary. In the night the stroke
came, and 4G hours later ho slept his
last.
Mayor Dahlman himself at first
made light of his final illness. The
stroke appeared light, and he was
not made unconscious. He insisted
that his friends in Omaha be not
told of his illness, as he felt sure
he would recover rapidly. He wish
ed they should not be alarmed about
him.
Riding in a plane is just as safe
as riding in an automobile, as every
air-minded person knows, but when
a couple of fliers are reported min

Al Jolson is
Tremendous Hit
in 'Singing Fog!'
To
Be Shown at Parmele Theatre
for Four Days Starting Wed
nesday Night.
"The Singing Pool," Al Jolson's
newest lin production, is a triumph
of up-to-the-minute motion picture
art.
In the rst place the Ieslie S. Rap
rows story is written out oi a tleep
familiarity with the life of the stage
and of New York night clubs and
what is greater, an understanding
of those qualities which make all hu
manity akin. Then, too, Ryron Ilas
kin has produced a marvel of photo
graphy, the glamor of the scenes of
revelry being created with certainty
and real magic.
As for Jolson, ho is revealed as
an actor of unquestionable sincerity
and amazing power of emotional ex
pression. In many of his scenes his
sorrows are tragic in their intensity,
and exercise an unusual effect on the
feelings of the audience. This is the
more remarkable when one considers
that Jolson has always been looked
upon as a comedian, though to the
more discerning there has invariably
been the touch of pathos which made
it evident that he would be able at
some time to interpret the tragedies
of life as well as the lighter moods.
This Warner Brothers Vitaphone
prcdultion will be at the Rarmele
theatre for our days. Wednesdayy,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

TO THE PUBLIC
Reasons why you should use butter
instead of substitutes
Butter prices are now the lowest
in ten years and with a surplus of
40,000,000 pounds in storage this is
certainly an opportunity for every
user of Oleomargarine to treat him
self and family to a pound of real
butter, a food so rich in vitamines
that are essential in promoting
growth in children and preserving
health in grown-ups
Nebraska ranks fourth in butter
production, yet 15,000,000 pounds!
less of butter was consumed in 1929
than in 1928
We should become alarmed at a
situation that is directly hurting a
$30,000,000 dollar yearly industry In
Nebraska
Consumption cf Oleomargarine
climbed from 2CO.000.000 pounds in
1927 to 350,000.000 pounds in 1929
in the United States
If these substitutes for butter were
as good a food product as butter no
fault could be found with this great
consumption of substitutes, but by
using them we lay ourselves and our
families open to so-called NUTRI
TION DEFICIENCY and at the same
time injure our own dairy industry
by consuming products made from
imported fats and packing house by
products instead of the products of
our own Nebraska farms.
Today our dairymen are getting
less for butter fat than they have
been receiving for the past twenty
years.
Today the farmer and dairyman is
getting only 26 cents per pound for
butter fat, a year ago it was bringing
exactly double this price or 52 cents
per pound and this in spite of a 2,
000,000 pound decrease of produc
tion in 1929 under 192S.
In responding to this appeal to use
butter instead of these inferior sub
stitutes you are truly increasing the
nutritional value of your diet, attain
ing better health, adding to the pur
chasing power of the dairy farmer
and greatly aiding our own commun
ity industry, the Farmers Co-operative
Creamery of Plattsmouth.
Please think this matter over care
fully and then decide to patronize a
Home Industry and help the farmers
who are "HELPING PLATTSMOUTII
SUCCEED."

THE TAX TOLL
Some economist with a genius for
statistics should figure cut the aver
age number of days each citizen
worts to pay his taxes.
In 1!27, about 6.12 per cent of
the gainfully occupied population of
this nation worked for some branch
of government. Assuming that this
percentage is still about private busi
ness, it would seem that about one
sixteenth of the time of our citizens
is required to keep the government
payroll going. This would be 23 days
per annum.
In addition to the payroll, the gov
ernment spends vast sums on build
ing, warships, schools, roads, the
army and navy, hospitals, courts of
the law and for supplies of all na
tures. It pays out millions annually
in pensions and for interest on bonds.
In all probability, the payroll Is
less than half of government expense.
Perhaps Mr. Average Citizen, wheth
er he knows it or not, contributes
the earnings of well over a month
of his working time each year to
keep his government going.
If you don't believe our race is get
ting hardier all the time, just reflect
that it was only a few years ago
that the girls were wearing fianne:.-?.
