I ; ! By A. R. GROH.
If any enterprising gent is figuring
loo setting up a cory liitle "alley )omt
for "blind pig," now that Nebraska i
'about to go dry, let him pause a mo
iment and consider that this course is
luot in accord with the doctrine of
? "safety first.": They have an annoy

Once They Yearned for Diamonds,

Window Shoppers Feast Eyes
On Expensive Displays of
Coal Dealers Instead
of Jewelers. .
ONLY FOR THE RICH TO BUY
Time was in Omaha when upon
the approach of the holiday season
the crowds gathered in front of the
windows of the art and jewelry
stores to gaze upon the wonderful
displays that were placed there to
attract. This year the crowds still
gather, but not in front of art or
jewelry store windows. They have
found other attractions.
Along rarnam, Sixteenth and Sev
enteenth streets a number of coal
dealers occupy ground-floor offices.
In the windows of these offices the
dealers have placed attractive dis
plays of coal. On dainty mats and on
costlv olates thev are showing sam
ples of the coal they handle. There
is shown the expensive anthracite
that only the richest of the rich can
afford to burn; the" coke, intended
only for the heating plants of the
millionaires, and the grades of
cheaper coal, now fetching nearly its
weight in silver dollars.
It is the coal this holiday season
that is attracting the attention of
those who with longing eyes look
through the' windows upon things
they want, but cannot afford to buy.
Around these windows almost any
time of day the crowds gather. Dur
ing former holiday seasons they
have uassed coaL windows up, for
ooawas too cheap and too common,.

Car Shortage Saves :
; Money for Farmers
Many railroad men say that the
freght car shortage of the last few
months has added several millions of
dollars to the wealth of Nebraska.
Railroad men assert that last fall,
when wheat climbed to $1 per bushel
and corn to 90 cents, if cars had been
available, farmers would have shipped
practically all of their grain, feeling
that it had reached price at which
they could sell and make good profit.
However, as prices continued to
advance, the railroad men say that
farmers showed a disinclination to
sell, going upon the theory that the
high level had not been reached.
on ( Since then, wheat has gone to $1.90
to $1.95 and corn close up to $1 per
bushel. As a result, farmers have
made the difference between the prices
of the early fall and the present time,
which in almost very instance is 75
cents to 95 cents per bushel on wheat
and nearly as much on corn.
