plifted and accurate formulas for the
conservation of foods by drying,
pickling, canning and similar methods

, Wheat Coming In Fine,
According to Mr. Neal
Food Administration Agent Neal
is taking all wheat offerings and re
consigning to millers in Omaha trade
territory. Purchases are all made
in accordance with the government
schedule of prices.
- "I am greatly pleased with the man
ner in which the holders of wheat are
loosening up," said Mr. Neal. "The
receipts Wednesday were twenty
seven carloads, much greater than any
day during the last two weeks, all of
which indicates to my mind that men
who have been holding for higher
prices are becoming more patriotic
. and art displaying a willingness to do
their bit in helping the country.
"While the supply has not reached
the point where it is equal to the de
mand, it is increasing and I am pretty
well satisfied with the outlook.
"There is a big demand for seed
wheat and it comes from all parts of
Nebraska. We are filling orders as
rapidly as we can, but whether or
not we will get in enough to supply
the demand I canriot say.
"The wheat that is sought for
milling purposes is being taken over
at fast as offered and is then distri
buted where it is most needed."
-Auto Thieves Busy
On Down Town Streets
Automobile thieves are becoming
more active every day. Within the
last two days one dozen machines
were stolen;
On Tuesday the automobile of
Frank Hason, 107 Woolworth ave
nue, was stolen from Tenth and Cen
ter streets. A. L. Fitzsimmons, 2308
South Thirty-second street, missed
his from in front of his residence at
4:30 p. m. and the machine of A. H.
Ellis, 4744 South Thirteenth street,
was taken- from the corner of Twenty-second
and Lothrop streets.
When C J. Shea, 3827 North Sev
enteenth street, desired to return
home in his car after a little siesta at
the Elks' club he found to his cha
grin that some unthinking person had
already made off with it.
Mrs. M. T. Benner of the Portland
apartments left her Hudson Super
Six outside of the Fontenelle hotel
while she drank tea and talked over
Hie latest in gowns with a sister dev
. otee and when she came out the ma
chine was gone.
, Mrs. B. M. Christenson allowed her
automobile, to stand in front of her
residence at 2830 Davenport street
and a few minutes later hers also was
counted among the missing.

Police Seeking Pests Who Bother
Members of the Kirschbraun Family
i'ersons coming out of a moving
picture show last Saturday evening
were startled by a woman's shriek.
The cause of the shriek was a mys
terious telephone call, later followed
by others, which the police are try
ing to run down.
"Your father was killed and your
mother badly injured," was the hor
rifying message received at the
Charles Kirscbraun home, 305 South
Thirty-eighth street, Saturday even
ing. "They were in an automobile crash
on the West Dodge street road," the
message continued.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirschbraun, mem
bers of the creamery family, accom
panied by friends, had gone automo
bile riding earlier in the evening. A
son and daughter, Edward and Verna,
remained at home.
No One Heard of Accident.
Horrified, the son and daughter
leaped into another motor car in the
garage and hurried to the scene of
the supposed accident. No one in the
West Dodge street district, however,
had heard anything about an accident.
The Kirschbraun children-, knowing
their father and mother were movie
fans, made the rounds of several pic
ture shows, finally meting their par
ents coming out of a theater. They
told of the telephone message. Mr.
and Mrs. Kirschbraun were puzzled.
Suddenly Mrs. Kirschbraun ex
claimed: "It must be Eva and Louis.'
Charles Kirschbraun and Louis
Kirschbraun are married to sisters.
None of Family Injured.
They hurried to the Louis Kirsch
braun home, 403 South Thirty-eighth
avenue, and found the ntembers of
that family unharmed.
The next morning another tele
pi one mssage was received at the
Charles Kirschbraun home, informing
them they "had better be careful about
discharging servants."
The Kirschbrauns remembered a
maid had been discharged about a
week prior to that time.
Some time Monday electric wires
leading info the Kirschbraun home
were discovered broken.
The police were notified and plain
clothes men are now working on the
case.

KISSES CHILDREN;

Young Mother, Divorced,
"Tired of Life," Sends Bullet
Through Temple in Her
Own Home.
Mrs. Laverne Armstead, aged 33,
2704 North Forty-fifth street, com
mittced suicide yesterday by shoot
ing herself through the right temple.
She died shortly after.
Kissing her two little sons, George,
aged 12, and Richard, aged 5, goodby,
she went upstairs to her bedroom and
after writing a note in which she said
she was tired of life shot herself. No
one heard the shot.
She was found lying on the foot of
the bed by her stepmother, Mrs.
Henry Schnack. The pistol was lying
on the floor. Mrs. Schnack told
the boys that their mother was dying,
as they were preparing for school.
Rushing into the room, the elder
son threw himself on the bed, crying
pitifully that his mother's life be
spared.
Mrs. Armstead was divorced from
her husband about two years ago,
her stepmother says. "Sne was a
very cheerful girl and laughed, she
was so happy, just before he went to
her room, ' she said.
"She got up at 7 o'clock this morn-

Auto Escapes With Slight Injuries THREE-CENT STAMPS
One of the most remarkable acci
dents ever recorded in Opiaha took
place at Twenty-eighth and Farnam
streets Monday evening shortly be
fore 6 o'clock.
A little old woman darted from the
sidewalk on the south side of Farnam
street, just ahead of several automo
biles east bound. She safely passed
the first two, but brought up square
ly in front of a third and was struck,
knocked down and rolled under the
machine. Horrified onlookers rush
edto pick her up and t h e two m eji
in the machine stopped as quickly as
they could and jumped out to aid.
Before anyone could reach the old
lady she was on her feet, dazed and
dishevelled, and her clothing torn, but
able to walk to the sidewalk on the
north side of the street, for which she
had started. She had sustained only
some painful bruises as a result of her
startling experience.
After securing her hat and hatpins,
which had been- knocked from her
head, she got into a car with her son
and drove away, declining to give her
name. A large number of people

Government Acknowledges
Election of Carranza
Washington, Sept. 12. Last steps
in the formal recognition of the Car-

UIH.D at, V V. a lit l V
United States have been accomplished
by formal notification of the election
of Carranza as president and an
acknowledgment by the United
States. The proceeding is a technical
one, conforming to the usages of in
ternational relations, as the recogni
tion of the Carranza government
practically was complete several
months ago.
Officials took occasion today to
reiterate that no loan to Mexico was
contemplated by the United States.
The status of a loan still is under
consideration by the Mexican govern
ment and a group of American bank
ers. Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to success.
Three million 3-cent postage stamps
are lying in the vaults at the local
postoffice, apparently a total loss.
They were received from Washing
ton about two months ago and had
been printed because some govern
ment officials believed congress would
put a clause in the war tax bill pro
viding for a rise in first-class postage
rate from 2 cents to 3 cents.
The senate has rejected, by a de
cisive vote, this method of raising
part of the war tax.
"There is a possibility that the con
ference committee will put the 3-cent
postage provision back in the bill,"
said Postmaster Fanning, "but this it
not likely. Many men believe that
correspondence would decrease so
much if we had a 3-cent letter rate
that we couldn't get any increased
revenue, even at the higher rate.
"I think the 3-cent stamps are
destined to go back to Washington
and be destroyed. Without the 3-cent
postage rate we couldn't sell 3,000,000
