HORSEMEN HAPPY
OVER CUDGEL SALE
Look Forward to Meeting of
Omar fchayyam, Hourless
and Cudgel at Ken
tucky Derby.
Iluibenicn who have hern clamor
ing for a meeting of the three great
3-year-olds. Omar Khayyam, owned
by Wilfred Viau; Hourlcis, the
property of August Belmoilt, and
Cudjcl, believe they may have their
hopes realized through the purchase
for $30,000 of Cudgel, Hie Broomstick-Eugenia
colt by H. G. Bed
well, trainer for Lieutenant J. K. J..
Koss, the Canadian turfman, from
John W. Schor of Memphis, Teim.
Several previous attempts to ar
range a meeting were futile, but now
it is regarded probable they may
be entered in the Kentucky handicap,
the 1S,000 feature for 3-year-olds,
and put up at the Douglas park
spring meeting at Louisville. Failing
in that, it is regarded almost cer
tain they will be pitted against each
other in the east.
Through the purchase of Cudgel
the west lost the last 3-year-old it has
produced in many years. Purchased
as a 2-year-old from II. P. Whitney
for $1,500 the horse's winnings' to
date approximately are $19,000. His
resale price and the total purses he
has won make a fotal of nearly $.i0,
000 on the investment. With $15,630
to his credit, Cudgel was 10th in the
list of money-winning horses of the
year. .
Cudgel began ,to show his class last
fall. As a juvenile he started 12
times, was first five times, second
twice and third once, and won $3,036.
This year he got away to a bad start
and ran unplaced in his first three
races, including Kentucky derby,
Avherc he ran 11th to Omar Kahyyam,
Ticket. Midway and Rickety, in his
next three starts he won over such
horses as Opportunity, Gny Fortune,
Diamond, Grundy and Watcrford.
Beaten by a Neck,
ftis first really great race was in
the Kentucky handicap, where he
was beaten only a neck by King Go
rin, a much older horse, and defeated
Koamer by half a length for the pSace.
In this stake the mile was run in
1:38 4-5 and the mile and a quar
ter in 2:04 1-5.
Midway, his old rival, easily was
downed in the next start, but he lost
the Latonia derby, his next effort, to
Liberty Loan.
In the Independence handicap,
Cudgel defeated, among others.

BEMOANING HIS
FATEAS'TRADER'
Joe Bumbeer was bound over to the
federal grand jury after a hearing be
fore United States Commissioner Nee

amendment.
Joe was arrested in Plattsmouth a
few days ago after an exciting chase.
He was "spotted" while passing
through that city on his motorcycle
with . side-car attachment. Officers
pursued him on motorcycles. When
Joe saw them he tipped over the bot
tles of whi.sky which he had in the
side-car and allowed the content? to
run out on the road. '
But he ran out of gasoline, and
when the officers caught him he had
nine quarts of whisky to act as dam
aging evidence against him.
Joe was arrested about three
months ago for bringing "booze" from
St. Joseph to Omaha. He came on
the train at that time. At his hearing
before Federal Judge Woodrough his
family wept so eloquently that the
'judge was moved to pity and let him
off with 30 days in jail.

his superiority. Carrying 126 pounds
he set a new American record for a
mile and 70 yards, which he ran in
1:41 4-5, and defeated such horses as
Colonel Vennie, Lady Rotha, Guy
Fortune and Tokay." He proved his
ability to carry weight in his next
start at one mile and an eighth when
he ran the distance in 1:50 4-5 and
won handily.
Easily his best performance, how
ever, was in his last race at Latonia.
Left at the post, he got away 28
lengths behind his field and finished

FARMERS' CONGRESS
ENDS ANNUAL MEET
Closing Recommendation is
That Dogs Should Be Tax
ed to Recompense Sheep
Growers.
All dogs iu Nebraska should be
taxed to create a state fund from
which sheep growers would be rec
ompensed for the loss of sheep killed
by log, in the opinion of the dele
gates to the Nebraska Farmers' con
gress, which closed its session at
the Hotel Castle Thursday morning.
They recommended such legislation
in their resolutions.
The Farmers' congress pledged its
hearty support to the government for
the speedy and successful conclusion
of the war. The farmers voted to pe
tition the proper authorities tit a'
boys excused' from military service
for agricultural .purposes be given a
certificate stating that fact. They
asked that farmers be represented on
all boards and commissions appointed
under the food control act. They
recommended that price fixing be
extended to all commodities neces
sary for the proper execution of the
war. They recommended increased
levy of taxation or excess war
profits. They voted that gambling or
speculating in the things Necessary
to prosecute the war deserves the
condemnation of every patriotic citi
zen. Oppose Labor Proposition.
After considerable argumcut they
opposed the proposition of importing
Asiatic labor for the farms. They
urged upon the farmers' elevator
companies of the state the necessity
of installing mills suitable for grind
ing whole wheat flour and cor,n meal.
They opposed transferring from pub
lic to private ownership the water
rights of the state. They praised the
work of the Federal Farm Loan bank
of Omaha.
On the question of sugar, the farm
ers held that since there is apparent
ly not a sufficient supply of sugar to
go round, the government should
issue sugar tickets, allowing the con
sumers to buy in any quantity de
sired within the limits set upon the
ticket as the proper requirement for
a given family. They recommended
that the farmer January 1 take an in
ventory of his property and begin
the keeping of a set of books so that
he may determine accurately what
it costs him to do business and to
produce a given crop. They recom
mended that farm machinery be con
served and the old repaired.
O. G, Smith of Kearney was re
elected president of the congress.
Frank Tannehill of Norfolk was re
elected first vice president; Charley
Graff of Bancroft, second vice
president; A. L. Stoncr of Inavale,
third vice president; J. B. Grinnell
of Papillion, secretary; and George
Junkin of Smtlhfield, treasurer.
The convention voted to return to
Omaha fqr next year's session,
though Hastings was in the held.
Cardinal Sanctions Work
By Miners During Holidays
Washington, Dec. 20. Cardinal
Gibbons gave his sanction today to
Roman Catholic miners working on
the holy days falling within the

Omaha Woman Tells
Of Funstpn; Says
Men Dying Fast
(Continued From Pare One.)
red tape should be cut out and more
real work should be done.
Too Many Deaths.
"There is no necessity for so many
deaths on account of pneumonia.
These deaths are caused because of
insufficient clothing, swampy camps
and poor medcial attention. All flie
other diseases such as meningitis can
also be diminished.
"We set out to raise an army over
night, but if we don't look out we will
not have any boys to send over across
the sea. YVe mothers are willing to
give our snns to fight for democracy
and our country, but when they are
compelled to die m the swamps and
cold our mothers' love gets selfish
and doubtful. The boys hate the
camp at Funston so much that they
will say 'Hip, Hip Hurrah any time
that any one mentions their leaving
for France.
"The soldiers themselves, are full
of grit and spirit. They all say 'We
are fine, all is well here.' It is that
spirit that will win the war if it is
not frozen out. The older army of
ficers are training the boys into a
machine-like unit. They are doing
fine.
Cites Exemption Cases.
"The exemption boards ought to
be more careful next time they select
an army. When I was at Funston I
saw two men with wooden legs, one
man afflicted with epileptic fits, one
man who was still suffering from an
operation. 'There is one thing sure,'
they said, our two brothers with
wooden legs won't be able to freeze
them off."
Mrs. McConnell spends most of her
time looking out for the boys at
camp. She was instrumental in
sending rubber sheets to the boys to
be used in the barracks. She has five
women working for her all the time
knitting socks, sweaters and head
pieces for the soldiers. One of her
workers has knitted 27 pieces already.
She goes to Funston every few days
laden with tobacco, chewing gum,
candy and other good edibles. On
Thanksgiving day she was not al
lowed to see her son; so she invited
10 others and dined them at a hotel
in Manhattan, Kan. Some of them
remarked that it was the first time
they had seen a cup and plate ince
they had left home. "Still tr.ey a.d
not complain, but spoke cheerfully,"
she said.
"Since I saw how the boys have to
get along, 1 want to spend half my
time, making things better for the,
lonesome boys. As ex-Senator Mer
cer said 'Tire boys are so lonesome
that they- even get sick.' That is why
I spend my time dowiv there to be
a mother to them all."
Mrs. McConnell wants to appeal to
the mothers to do more knitting and
write more letters. "If you have to
let the cleaning go once or twice, let
it go but look after the soldiers first."

EDISON NOW GIVES
YOU MUSIC'S
RE-CREATION
What is Mask's Re-Creation? Are
tnese words merely an empty phrase of
advertising or do they have the signifi
cance of reality ? You are familiar with
the thin-toned voice of talking-machines.
You know that a talking-machine's alleged
reproduction of an artist's voice or instru
mental performance has but a, . faint
resemblance to the original. What will
you say, then, if we tell you that the
genius of Edison has perfected an Instru
ment which literally Re-Creates all forms
of music?
EDISON
"Tkt Pkvngnpk with a Sotl"
sings to you and plays to you exactly as
the artists sang, and played to it It stores
away every tone and every tone color,
and gives them back to you with a fidelity
which baffles detection from'the original
More than a million music lovers have
heard the New Edison compared in
public with its Re-Creation of the voices
(or instrumental performances) of more
than thirty different great artists. The
music critics of over five hundred of
America's principal newspapers concede
jrt the columns of their own papers that
an artist's actual performance (vocal or
instrumental, as the case may be) can
not be detectedfrom the New Edison's
Re-Creation of that performance.
Marie Rappold Z
MfttroDolitan, proving by direct com
parison that her brilliant and appealing voice
to flawlessly re-created by the New Edison. .
Madame Rappold and many other great artiste have proven by direct
comparison that Edison's Re-Creation of their work cannot be distinguished
from their actual performances.
