London Prime Minister MacDon ald's government Taeeday received from the liberal party a virtual guar antee of its continuance in office dur ing the period of the national con ference. At the suggestion of David Lloyd George, liberal leader and for mer premier, the liberal parliamen tary party unanimously decided to ab stain from voting on controversial amendments to the government's coal mines bill, on which the laborites al ready have sustained cne defeat at the hands of the combined liberals and conservatives. This assured safety for Mr . MacDonald during debate over the amendments Thursday night, for which several conservatives al ready had proposed amendments like ly to draw liberal support. The terms of Mr. Lloyd George's speech em bodied a further guarantee of safety until the end of the conference. The liberals, however, made plain that the decision did not affect their lib erty of action during later stages of the bill. LOST OR STRAYED Two hay horses, str&yed from farm southeast tf Murray.

Soaked to the skin with rain and snow, suffering for lack of food and water, Eli Collins, 65, farm-hand of GGlenwood, la., was dug out of a Glenwood, la., was dug out of a of the Bluffs where he had lain for four days and five nights and was taken to Council Bluffs. Collins, for all the lack or food and exposure to freezing temperature, took a little nourishment and was in cheerful spirits soon after he was rescued. Until two weeks ago he had been making his home with Ralph McFer Ten of Glenwood. Without saying much about it. he suddenly started out on foot tb hunt work. Last Thurs day night he had got as far as the Harry Robertson farm, five miles south of Treynor on the Silver creek road. By then a bruise on his left shin had begun to bother him, and he was all but exhausted, so he sought the shelter of the haystack. The next morning he was too weak to move or to attract attention to his plight. So he lay in the stack, a thin suit and the hay his only protection against the cold and dampness. He gradually passed into a stupor, and when found Tuesday he was scarcely able to speak his name. - ' Had it not been1 that the owner of the stack had found a purchaser for the hay, Collins might have lain there until he died. But Robertson went out to show the hay to a buy er, and discovered the man. Dr. R. II. Stephens took Collins to the hotel at Theynor, where he was warmed and fed. He soon felt able to travel and was taken to the coun ty home near Glenwood. 1 w , TAKEN TO HOSPITAL From WeflnMflay Tany Mrs. Clifford Schafer was taken to Omaha today where she will t nter the University' hospital at that place for an operation.

There isn't anything mysterious about business. Many people think it mysterious they think of it as complicated and difficult to understand: but the fact i:j. business, wheth er it is big or little, is simply putting money to mork. and successful business is the art of making this money earn an income greater than the cost of operation and the interest the business man pays for the money. An interesting phase of business operation is that an in creased volume of business of. say, 25, 50 ' or 100' over the usual volume will earn a much larger percentage of income than can be clone on the regular volume. Take our own case as an example: Woods Brothers. Corporation can take on additional construction work from year to -car lo the amount of several million dollars. To do this involves additional equipment and working capital, which means cash outliy. but we make a much larger crcen?agc of profit on this additional work. That is. the last million which we take on returns a much greater proportionate profit than the first, second, third or fourth million. "We have to provide more equipment, but it does not involve any more oil ice buildings or executives: it doesn't materially increase the overhead. That's why we offer to the public our preferred slock which pays j'r annual divid ends. Its security as an investment rests in the earnings of the corporation and the accumu lated assets. Qur assets now- exceed $11,000,000. During the past 19 years since our busi ness was incorporated we have paid to our stockholders regular quarterly dividends. Four years out of five wc have increased : our undivided profits; that is. earnings that we have made above operating costs and interest charges. Today oXir undivided profits exceed a million dollars. Occasionally in any business a year comes along that, through some tmfor seen conditions, profits cannot be made. We have been in business 40 years and we know, as every business man of long experience knows, that every year cannot le a profitable year. Consequently we accumulate and leave in our treasury this surplus to tide us over an occasional bad year. Our present surplus would tide us over a number of such years and still allow us to pay dividends regularly to our stockholders. With the cxpanion of our business we have an unuual opportunity to increase our earnings. Vc,proviue the money lor the necessary outlay to liandic tins business tnrougu the sale of our preferred stock. This will make income than you can ordinarily get elsewhere, write us. a safe investment for you and a larger Come in and talk with us about it, or MARK W.
