erty from the Byers estate.
Only
Number One Wheat .
Take $2.15 Price
Letters and telegrams pouring in
on members of the Omaha Grain ex
change seem to indicate that country
shippers of wheat are of the opinion
that after Monday, when the food
administration takes over the buying
and selling of the cereal of this year's
crop, the highest basic price, $2.15 a
vbu?hel will maintain.
Here is where the owner and ship
per is going to find that he is mis
taken. Both Food Administration
Corporation Agent Neal and the mem
bers of the local exchange desire to
correct the impression.
Only the choicest wheat, the No. 1
hard winter, will take this top price
fixed by the government. All other
kinds and grades will sell lower. For
instances, the No. 2 hard and the No.
2 red winter will sell at $2.12; the No.
2 yellow hard winter, $2.08; the No.
3 yellow hard winter, $2.05, and the
No. 4 yellow hard winter, $2.01 a
bushel.
According to grain men. Omaha
territory is distinctly a yellow hard
winter area and therefor the great
bulk of the wheat marketed here will
sell considerably below the top price
iixed for the choice grades.
Country shippers are asked to bear
in mind that the dockage shown in
federal grades will apply to all wheat
sold in this market, or elsewhere, so
far as that goes.

SOUTH SIDE
MUST INCREASE
LIVE STOCK. SAYS
OMAHA EXCHANGE
Urges Farmers to Increase Pro
duction and Not Sell Imma
ture or Half-Fed Stock
for Marketing.
V. B- Tagg,' president of the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange and a
member of the United States Live
Stock committee, will leave Monday
evening for Washington, D. C, where
he has been called by Secretary of
Agriculture David F. Huston and
Food Administrator Herbert C.
Hoover.
The purpose of the meeting is to
plan the steps which will aid in in
creasing the meat production of the
country and to reduce the present
consumption and waste of meat
products.
The following article was written
by Mr. Tagg on the attitude of the
South Omaha exchange, urging in
creased stock production:
By W. B- TAGG-
President of the South Omaha Live Stock
Exchange.
The necessity for increasing pro
duction of all kinds of food products,
including live stock, became so ap
parent to the officers of the South
Omaha" Live Stock exchange during
April, 1917, that immediate steps were
taken to assist and encourage the
producer.
A resolution was passed by the
board of directors of the Live Stock
exchange and given publicity through
live stock circles, encouraging stock
men to increase their live stock opera
tions and discouraging the marketing
of immature or half-fat stock.
In a practical effort to assist the
stock raiser and farmer or feeder, the
Live Stock exchange established a
help bureau during the month of
April, through which every effort has
been made to supply farm and ranch
help to the stockmen in this terri
tory, and since that bureau has been
organized in the secretary's office
there have been 350 men sent to the
country for work on farms and
ranches. This does not include many
cases where men have worked through
the government employment agen
cies. This has been without expense
to ether the employe or employer, the
Live Stock exchange standing all ex
penses incurred.
To Increase Labor.
In an effort to further increase the
number of men available for farm
work, the Live Stock exchange, at a
special meeting held May 12 suspend
ed its rules, allowing the commission
firms and yard traders to send out
their surplus help during dull months,
including June, July and August, these
men to work on farms and ranches
andxthe commission firms paying the
difference in their salaries while they
were out in the country, and holding
their positions open for them when
they came back, and fifty men took
advantage of this rule and worked
anywhere from two weeks to three
months on farms-
In an effort to encourage increased
production the Live Stock exchange
had several conferences with the au
thorities at the College of Agricul
ture at Lincoln and Prof- C. W. Pugs
ley, who has charge of the extension
work for the bureau of animal indus
try and forthe College of Agriculture
of Nebraska, and as a final result of
these conferences the exchange of
fered prizes to the amount approx
imating $2,500 to the boys or girls
showing the best records in the pig
project contest. Twenty of these
prizes are offered for fall litters of
pigs, thirty for spring litters of pigs
in various counties in Nebraska, tfce
contest all being under the jurisdic
tion of the Agricultural college au
thorities. i
As president of the exchange I
have addressed three bankers' con
ventions and two stockmens' conven
tions and - joint meeting of bankers
and stockmen, impressing upon them
the shortage ot live stock in tnis coun
try and the necessity for united effort
toward increased production.
The Live Stock exchange has au
thorized the appointment of a special
committee of representative salesmen
and buyers who are handling all
orders for live stock from the boys
and girls' clubs for pigs, calves, lambs
or ewes, free gratis, this being done
in the name of the exchange arid with
a view of helping to encourage the
young folks in the production of live
stock. ,
RED CROSS' ACTIVE
WORK NEBRASKA
Chapters and Branches Organ
ized Throughout State and
Big Fund Shows Increase;
Ambulance Corps.
The office of the Nebraska state di
rector of the Red Cross is at present
trying to complete the records of
membership in this state, so that a
completed statement showing the
total membership of the various class
es may be made by September 10. A
report will also be made at the same
time on the war fund, showing the
entire receipts of the fund up to date.
Chapters and branch chapters of the
Red Cross have been organized
throughout the state and as a result of
their aggressive work the fund will
show a surprising increase. A great
amount of interest is being shown in
this work and the results will without
doubt equal that of any state in the
union.
Students of the University of Ne
braska are making an effort to organ
ize an ambulance corps representing
their university. George Crimes pre
sented the proposal to the state direc
tor of the Red Cross some time ago,
but .the War department is not yt
ready to add more ambulance units or
ambulance corps. The proposition will
undoubtedly receive favorable action
in a short time.

Improvements Clubs
Form Federation
A joint meeting of the representa
tives of the following South Side Im
provement clubs was held in the city
hall Friday evening: The Southeast,
the West Side Booster, the South
Thirtieth Street and the Giles Im
provement clubs.
The object of the meeting was to
unite for all measures which will be
of interest to all of the clubs. The
clubs will not lose their identity, but
will continue to work independently
for reforms which affect only their
own. locality. The clubs will unite
their efforts in trying to secure im
provements which affect the South
Side as a whole.
A committee was appointed to draw
up bylaws for the federation of the
clubs. P. J. Trainor was appointed
temporary president and M. D.
O'Brien was made temporary secre
tary. The next meeting of the clubs will
be a union meeting at the city hall
Friday evening, September 14.
South Side Women
In Red Cross Activities
Mrs. R. P. Falkner, chairman of the
South Side Red Cross, has the names
of thirty-five women who have prom
ised to knit for the soldier boys. As
soon as the yarn comes the women
will" start to make sweaters and sox
nd mittens which will be sent to
France with the supplies from the
Omaha chapter.
Young girls in South Omaha have
also arranged to help with the work
of knitting. A club of eleven girls
have arranged to meet and knit once
a week. They will combine social
pleasures with their work, but they
plan to do a great deal of knitting and
will give the articles they make to
the Red Cross.
Mrs. C. E. Scarr is studying the
work of making the surgical dress
ings. A. soon as she completes the
course and receives her certificate
from Washington, she will teach the
work to the South Side women. Dur
ing the coming months the women
will send many hospital and surgical
dressings to France.
South Side Nurse Writes
From Somewhere in France
A letter has been received from
Miss Myrtle Dean, formerly super
intendent of the South Omaha hos
pital, who is now "somewhere in
France."
"I think that the folks at home
need not worry about us over here,"
writes 'Miss Dean.
The letter tells of the fine provi
sions of the hospitals over the seas,
where Miss Dean is "doing her bit"
for her country. "We have 1,200 beds.
The surroundings are comfortable and
the patients are given excellent care.'
Many of our patients make rapid
progress toward health under the care
of the American Red Cross and their
representatives."
The letter is bright and cheerful;
it tells of the joy with which the
French hail the American flag, and
the American soldiers. The censors
had stamped the letter and numbered
it 38R

RECRUITS IN FALL
AMONGFARMERS
Major Frith Says Enlistments
Will Increase in Farming
Districts With Crops
Harvested.
Major Frith, in charge of the army
recruiting station in Omaha, has just
returned from a trip in the west
ern part of the state, including Grand
Island and Alliance, where he enlist
ed twenty recruits for the United
States army.
"There is much interest and en
thusiasm for the war in that part of
the state," said Major Frith today.
"As soon as threshing is over there,
many of the young fanners will en
list. Farm work is a little later there
than in the eastern part of the state
and in Iowa, hence they have lagged
behind some in enlistments. But that
is not due to lack of interest.
"In a short time the wheat will be
threshed, the corn shucked, and the
boys will feel free to give their serv
ice to the army. Now they are serv
ing their country in one way, and as
soon as that task is done," they in
tend to get into service in another
line. We expect a big increase of
enlistments from ' the west of Ne
braska soon. I was much pleased with
the spirit tlwre. The boys all seem
anxious to enlist as soon as they
can."
Omaha and Dei Moines Race.
The army recruiting station in
Omaha during the month of August
enlisted 1,045 men. This vast number,
equal to nearly two battalions of in
fantry, poured in the Omaha office
from all over Nebraska and from the
eastern part of Iowa. Major Frith
and his staff at the recruiting station
have been kept busy continually giv
ing information, answering letters and
enlisting the recruits. As soon as the
army office is open a line of appli
cants is formed and from thirty to
fifty recruits taken in every day.
These are sent to Fort Logan, Colo.,
where they enlist and are then sent
elsewhere.
Des Moines and Omaha have br n
running .. close race as to the nuinuer
of recruits brought in. While the Des
Moines reports for August have not
yet come in, Major Frith said this
morning he believed it had been a
neck-and-neck race between the two
cities last month.
Two young Mexicans applied last
night for enlistment in the Lucky
Seventh. Lieutenant Leidy advised
them to get their first naturalization
papers and then come back.
"They were fine young fellows,"
said Lieutenant Leidy. "And I hope
they will be able to join us."
The boys of the Sixth Nebraska
at the auditorium are becoming good
housekeepers. The Auditorium is kept
in spick-and-span condition, and the
place policed twice daily to see that
it is in good order. If a soldier be
comes careless and drops a cigarette
butt on the floor he is sentenced to
a day of police duty.
Sixth to Leave Soon.
It. is thought now the Sixth regi
men may remain ,in Omaha two
weeks longer. The men are hoping
to get to Deming sooner, for they
are working tinder difficulties at the
Auditorium. The city streets are in
convenient for drilling and camp fare
would be less expensive than "board
ing out" as they do now. Of course
Uncle Sam pays the bill, nevertheless
the boys will be glad when they are
in camp.
First faint 'hopes of pay day begin
to appear on the horizon for the
Dandy Sixth. They have been in the
service three weeks now and in an
other week the paymaster ought to
be looking them up. The $30 drawn
by the men will be the smallest pay
check most of them have ever re
ceived, for they have resigned good
positions to take a job with. Uncle
Sam. But who cares? Not a single
man in the regiment would exchange
his soldier's life for the best position
in Omaha now.
Navy Uses Newspapers.
Ensign Condict, in charge of the.
naval recruiting office in Omaha, is
beginning a big drive for cooks aud
bakers. He has enlisted every news
paper in Nebraska and South Dakota
in the "naval reserves" to get these
men for the navy.
He has personally written to every
paper in these two states asking their
help; in the campaign. Every story
appearing in these papers will be
clipped by him and at the end of the
drive Ensign Condict will send his
scrap book to the Navy department
in Washington, that the secretary of
the navy may see how generously the
newspapers of Nebraska and South
Dakota have responded to the appeal.
Every newspaper approached so far
has promised plenty of space and
good stories for the cause. Ensign
Condict is a veteran newspaper man
himself and his first thought in need
was to turn to the newspaper fra
ternity for help.
Women's Toggery Doubles
The Size of Its Store
Another Omaha concern, the Wom
en's Toggery at 1517 Douglas street,
has found it necessary to enlarge store
space. They have not only increased
the store to double its former capacity,
But have enlarged their window
space and added new fixtures through
out. All this change has taken place
in time for the fall business. The
new fall merchandise and the new
store features will combine to give
the women of Omaha a most pleasing
place toshm

army men.
The lad's drilling came as a sur
prise to the captains and stafL The
youngster is but 12 years old and has
belonged to the Hanscom park com
pany but two weeks. His envious
mates accredit his military ability and
stellar performance to the fact that
his father has been an army captain.

training in drilling or manual of arms
until he joined the Playground army.
Jack Wyman and John Morrissey,
both of the Gilford Tract company,
received second and third medals re
spectively. The Gifford Tract company under
the leadership of Captain Reginald
Fernald did the best drilling as a com
pany. They were given a silk flag as

Fitness and Manner of Life
Decide Many a Trench Fight
""ilie final test when it comes to
taking the trenches will be the physi
cal fitness of each of you." said Chap
lain Jean Cobbey ot the Fifth Ne
braska in a talk yesterday to the ma
chine gun company of the Sixth.
"There is much long distance fight
ing and we hear much about the long
range guns. But the last step in the
trench warfare is the hand-to-hand
encounter between the opposing
troops.
"And, so. it you boys have not
kept yourselves in the best physical
condition, if you have not led pure
moral lives, you will stand no chance
against your foes. If the German you
meet is in just a little better physical
condition than you, you will be losU
"The United States government ex
perts to get a million good fighting
units, when it gets a million men.
Each of yott mean just so much
power and energy for your country.
For the sake of pattotism. you should
live the best life you can while sol
diers, that yott may be physically
fit, if for no other reason."
