Chief Deputy Collector North say there
is a widespread Impression that the spe

take, as It continues until December 31,
and there Is every reason to expect that
congress will renew It before Its expira

The Omaha Grain exchange did an enor
mous business during the eleven months
of the year Just closed, handling SZ.M
rars of wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley.
For the year, however. It Is anticipated
that the total receipts will fall slightly
1 clow those of 1914. This Is due probably
to the fact that during 1914 Omaha was
the great corn market of the country,
Omaha trade territory having been the
one section that raised a bumper crop of
corn.

TELLS ROTARIANS
HOW TO MAKE GOOD
Advertise and Then Deliver the
Goods as Advertised, Says Harry
Tolles of Chicago.
MUCH DEPENDS ON EMPLOYES
"One of the greatest ways to build
confidence in a business is to adver
tise and then deliver, the goods as
advertised," said Harry Newton
Tolles of Chicago at the Wednesday
uoon luncheon of the Rotary club at
ttieY Henshaw.- ' , '""f
He said that confidence'in a busi
ness house was also made or de
stroyed by the kind of correspon
dence, window displays, telephone,
delivery and billing service main
tained by the firm, and by the per
sonalities of the people in it.
"No business house is any stronger
than its weakest personality," he de-1
clared, "and business men and their
employes must be healthy to be effi-j
cient. j
eliminate the Kuvvker.
'The man who seeks success and ef-
flclency in his business never lets any I
employe go home dlHgruntled or In a
'knocking' frame' of mind. I
"Service, which is really quality, quan- j
tlly and the method of doing business, Is j
what makes for success. The Rotary j
club's motto, "He profits most who serves
best,' applies to business, and likewise, ,
tne greatest mahan Is the one who ren- !
dera the greatest service to the city."
In introducing the speaker. Chairman
E. U. Graff asserted that the tendency
toi' y is to connect education with the
practical things of life. Mr. Tolles said
that practical psychology and logic were
r -ong the most Important studies In
bUHlness, and that men are not educated,
but simply seeking all the time to be
come educated, first in schools and later
lit the college of experience.

Building
For Years to Come
In the erection of modern buildings the primary thought is
for endurance.
The same thought should be given to building our own
body and brain but few give It. This building process requires
certain essential food elements which, within the body, are con
verted Into the kind of brain, bone, nerve and muscle capable
of enduring the severe tests of work and time.
'Grape-Nuts
FOOD
Is scientifically made of whole wheat and malted barley, and sup
plies, In splendid proportion, all the nutritive values of the grains,
including their vital mineral salts, which are all-important for
lift) and health, but larking in much of the food that goes to
make up the ordinary diet.
A dally ration of Grape-Nuts food is good "building" for
sound health of years to come.
"There's a Reason"
RAILWAYS IN EAST
ARE 1HJBAD SHAPE
No Kope (or Relief at Atlantio Coast
Terminali Sayi W. L. Derr of
Great Weitern.
EVEN SWITCH YARDS LOADED
"Atlantic coast railroad terminals
have never been In such a deplorable
condition as now," asserted V. L.
Perr, superintendent of the Chicago
Great Western railroad, who has Just
rt-t timed from a month spent in New
York, rioBton and other east roast
cities. Mr. Derr came over from
headquarters at Clarion. la., and is
linking after some Great Western
business here. Discussing the east
ern freight situation, Mr. Derr said:
"In New York, Krooklyn and for that
matter, every eastern const city, ware
houses and docks are filled with goods
for export. Not only have the buildings
and platforms been filled, but ware
house capacity back In the country baa
become exhausted. The switch yards are
filled with cars loaded with grain, mer
chandise and about everything that the
co-ii.tries of Kurope now at war would
want, and still more keeps rolling In.
"The worst of It all Is that there Is no
Immediate prospect of getting the Bluff
out. There are a few vessels In the
Kuropean carrying trade, but nowhere
near enough to apparently reduce the
stores that are constantly accumulating.
In sending shipments abroad, foodstuff
have the righ-of-way, they going firs'.
Then come the munitions and after that
there Is not much chance for general
frciKhlto get aboard a ship.

"In some Instances big consignments
that have originated In the middlewest
and have gone to New York have been
reconsigned and sent by rail to Seattle
and Ban Francisco, with the hope thst
at these points thyjnay catch mine
tramp steamer, destined for Kurope.
However, the possibility of getting stun
through this way Is very remote.
"None of the managers of the eastern
hipping lines give any encouragement as
to when the congestion will be relieved.
In fact, there Is no hope In sight.
,"lf the shipments could hs gotten out.
the export business would Increase by
leaps and bounds, soon attaining propor
tions more gigantic than have ever been
dreamed of. Kurope needs the product
of the United states and is willing to pay
for them if they can be sent across tli
