THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. AUGUST 4, 1917.
OMAHA DAIRIES MAY
GO OUT OFBUSIKESS
Prohibitive Prices for Feed
- Lead Owners to Say They
Will Sell Their Cows
and Horses.
Dairymen in the vicinity of Omaha
are talking of selling off their herds
and going out of business during the
fall and winter and Omaha may face
a serious situation in regard to milk
supply.
While the housewife complains
when milk goes up a cent the dairy
man complains because grain and fod
der for the cows, goes up several dol
lars. Until the last few days the milkmen
were selling nine quarts of milk for
a dollar. They have raised to eight
quarts for a dollar and are saying that
in a very short time they will be gjv
injr but six quarts for a dollar, which
will be at the rate of 16 2-3 cents a
quart.
Cannot Buy Corn.
, "I can't buy an ear of corn for love
o'r money," said Fred Johnson, pro
prietor of the Crown dairy, 2212 South
Fortieth street. "I believe if I were
willing to pay $100 a bushel I could
not find a bit of ear corn in town.
Hay has gone up so high that I can't
afford to buy it through the winter
for the money I will get out of the
milk.
"I have decided what I will . do
when fall comes. I will sell my herd,
with" the exception of two or three
cows, and at the same time I will
sell my horses. I can't afford to keep
horses on this high-priced feed to
make my deliveries. People who want
milk will have to come out to the
dairy and carry their own milk as
far as it will go from the two or three
cows I will keep. I will not sell the
cows right away, but probably in the
fall, for we cannot afford to keep
them over winter at the present price
Of feed."
Mr. Johnson says he believes many
( the other dairies will do as he
plans to do in the fall.

wake of the passing torpedo . had
warned , the Americans of the pres
ence of an enemy.; From a position
several miles astern the bombardment
took place, but none of the shots

ners on the tanker fired sixteen shots
in return, but without results, so far
as could be ascertained.

Gompers' Stand on Labor
x Conference Endorsed
London,' Aug. 3. The cable, mes
sage from Samuel Gompers, head of
the American Federation of Labor,
to M. Jouhaux of the General Federa
tion of Labor and W. A. Appleton of
the General Federation of Trade
Unions, refusing to participate in the
international socialist conference, is
welcomed by the Post. In an edi
tnrM tii Pnt rlpsrrihes Mr. Gom
pers' message as admirable in sense
and delivered with admirable empha
sis, adding:
"Once again the' allies have to
thank America for timely lead. While
our ministers haven't the courage to
act on their conviction, Gompers has.
Assuredly an international conference
without America would be too feeble
to justify any further cringing to
Ramsey MacDonald and his confed
erates." Johnson County Lumberman

Will Sell Pet Kittens to Raise
Money for the Blue Cross Fund
FRANCES JONES.
Little Frances Jones, daughter of
Df. and Mrs. Newell Jones, 5117 Un
derwood avenue, will sell two of her
little Persian kittens' to the persons
who will pay the most for them for
the benefit of the Blue Cross fund.
The French minister of war has
sent cut an urgent appeal through
the Blue. Cross for hospitals arid am
bulances to take care of sick arid
wounded war dogs,. There ar ; 10,000
of these dogs, a large proportion of
them collies, faithfully ind efficiently
doing their bit in the war zone and
saving the lives of hundreds of hu
mans daily. Owner? of collies and
collie .kennels all. over, the country
have responded to the war minister's
appeal in various ways. It takes only
$300 to equip a war dog ambulance,
so that dog fanciers expect to raise
enough money-fv at least one am
bulance, which will bear the name,
"The Collies of America Ambulance."
When little Frances Jones heard
the story of the wardogs and of
their help to the wounded soldiers
on the battlefield she wanted to con
tribute something to their relief.
. That is why she decided to part
with , two of her pretty, tawny Persian
kittens. She has the mother cat and
three kittens, all of them bright, wide
awake, independent little animals, of
which she is very fond. Anyone who
wants one or two of these pets for
sale, or to keep, may buy one from
the little giil. The' money will be
sent to the Blue Cross for the war
,dog fund.
' Bert Crawford of Benson has sub
scribed -to .the collie fund on behalf
,of his own collies. , .
BEAR SCARES OMAHA
TEACHERS AT CAMP
They Flee in Night From Moun
tain Home and Find Safety in
Shack of Other School
Ma'ams.
Myra Reddan and Freda Christen
sen, clerks in the offices of the super
intendent of public schools and the
secretary of the board of education,
respectively, are shaking hands with
each other every time they meet.
The reason of these congratulatory
expressions dates back to their va
cation period spent at Manitou, Colo.
They have just returned to their work
and are telling thrilling tales of their
experiences one dark night when
they were lost in the Mountainous
country near Manitou.
They rented a cottage on a moun
tain side and intended to get as far
as possible from the "madding
crowd." Nightfall of the first day of
their cottage life found them busy
with domestic activities. The night
was very dark, they relate. A noise
at the kitchen door frightened them.
Miss Christensen looked out of a
window and told her companion she
believed she saw a bear trying to
get in. Miss Reddan grew frightened.
"If Myra had not become fright
ened I don't believe I would have
been scared, but both of us were
much disturbed," said Miss Christen
sen. They decided to leave their cottage
by the front door and seek a neigh
bor. They wandered on and on like
babes in the woods, holding hands
and every sound being intensified by
their imaginations. They lest the
trail. No beacon light was in view at
first, but after a while they noticed
a light toward which they directed
their steps. The light was on top
of a foothill and the way was un
certain, over cactus and other ob
structions. Reaching the house with the light,
they knocked trembling at the door
and were greeted by two young wo
men who bade them enter.
The refuges learned that their hosts
were Gertrude and Stella Holmes of
the Omaha public schools.
The next morning the young wo
men all went to the deserted cottage
and discovered that a bear had taken
a package of cooked meat which
had been hung near the kitchen door.

VALUES we have arranged for them Saturday.
HERE IS A NEW ONE
When' John D. Rockefeller was a
lad his first money was earned by
ditrfcin? potatoes. When he had ac
cumulated $50 he put it to work and
thus got his first lesson in the earn
ing power of money. He got his start
by saving the dimes and quarters. To
this' fact is due his early success in
business. Any person, old or young,
can get a start in the same way by
buying shares in the Omaha Loan
and Building Association, paying
from $1 a month up. These savings
yield compound interest at a. rate
not less than 5 . The Association
is distributing metal banks under a
unique plan of great interest to
children and adults. Call at the- of
