CORN ON GROUND
IN MANY PLACES
LIKELY TO SPOIL
Thousands of BusheL of Prod
uct Cannot Be Saved Unless
Cars Are Sent Soon to
Move Valuable Crop.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Feb. 6. (Special.) With
millions of bushels of corn heaped in
pile? over the state and warm weather
approaching the state faces a serious
condition, according to reports coin
ing to the governor's office and to
the state council of defense.
Both the governor and the council
have written letters repeatedly in an
effort to locate some one who could
speed up the supply of cars, but so
far have not been able to get much
recognition.
Vice Chairman Coupland of t'le
council of defense sent a message to
V. S. Gifford, director of the na
tional defense council, today, inform
ing him that unless cars were sent
to carry the corn the loss would be
great.
Thurston Hard Hit.
One man writes from Thurston
county that there is nearly ,1, 000,000
bushels of corn piled on the ground
in that county alone and that if cars
are not furnished to ship the corn it
will spoil as soon as the warm
weather comes.
Paul Manhart of Palmyra, Otoe
county, writes the council that un
less cars are furnished the corn will
spoil. Thousands of bushels in that
county-lie on Uie ground..
"We have subscribed to the Lib
erty bonds, the Young.iden's Chris
tian association fund, the Knights, of
Columbus fund, the thrift stamps and
everything else which came along,
but we must have money to meet
these expenditures and it will have
to come from the corn now piled on
the ground," he says.
"In a short time the snow will melt,
the roads will become impassable and
unless Ave can get this corn shipped
right away it means a big loss to the
farmers and a loss to the state. We
have got to have money, and it nftrst
come from our crops. We have got
to have cars to ship this corn or it
will spoil in a very short time."

WAR TIME WORK
OF CHURCH THEME
AT CONFERENCES
Large Audience Attends Open
ing Discussions at Meeting
of Congregationalists
of Two States.
'"The Church, the War and the Days
Ahead," was the topic that Wednes
day afternoon and evening attracted
the attention of Congregational
church people and drew them to the
First Congregational in Omaha.
The discussion will be resumed I
this morning and again this after- '
noon, the conference closing with '
three dinners at 6 o'clock tonight. ;
one for the men at the Hotel Fon
tcnelle, another for the women, at j
the Central Congregational church, i
and the third at the Young Men's j
Christian association rooms, w here ;
the young men of the church will
gather.
This gathering of Congregational
ists from Nebraska and Iowa is
brought about under the direction of
the National Council of Congrega
tional Churches of America. Among
the noted clergymen in attendance is
Rev. H. C. Herring, now secretary
of the national council, with head
quarters in Boston, but formerly pas
tor of the First Congregational
church, Omaha.
Another Congregational church
dignitary present is Rev. W. W.
Scudder, assistant secretary of the
council, also of Boston. Rev. Wil
liam II. Day, moderator of the coun
cil was to have been in attendance,
but word from him indicated that he
was snowbound in the east, though
he may possibly arrive today.
300 Ministers Here.
The Council of Congregationalists
brought to the city more than 300 of
the clergy and lay members of the
churches of Nebraska and Iowa and
in addition, there came the glee clubs
of Doane and Tabor colleges, the
former composed entirely of young
men and the latter of young women.
During the meetings these two or
ganizations are supplying the vocal
music. Rev. Fred J. Clark, pastor of
the First church, is the presiding of
ficer. At the meetings Wednesday, Rev.
Mr. Herring, while not looking after
conference work, was kept busy meet
ing old friends. He lett Omaha sev
eral years ago, but is well remem
bered by hundreds of people who
called on him at the church to offer
their regards.
The Duty of the Hour.
Wednesday afternoon, following
the singing of the "Battle Hymn of
the Republic" by the glee clubs of the
two Congregational colleges and the
invocation of Rev. W. W. Bolt of
Lincoln, Rev. Mr. Herring spoke on
"The Call of the Church to Meet the
Duty of the Hour." He took the po
sition that at this time the country
is standing at a point where history
is being made much faster than ever
before and that in writing the pages
of this history for the future, the
church of Christ has more vital con
cern than any one other agency, con
tending that in shaping the moral
issues the church will be held re
sponsible. The church, he contended,
must place the world in a position
so that future generations will not be
forced to combat a recurrence of the
intrigue that has brought about the
misrule that has become so apparent
and which millions of men arc light

" y
ing to dislodge. The church pos
sesses the means to supply the world
with the needed power and in the
hands of the Christians repose the
needed weapons.
Need of Organization.
Rev. Mr. Scudder dwett to a con
siderable extent upon what can be
accomplished by organization and re
gretted that until a few years ago
Congregationalists scorned the same.
He pointed out, however, now the
people of his church are getting
away from the idea that for so long
was uppermost in the minds of
preachers and laymen and that now
everybody within the Congregational
church are pulling together, looking
forward to the time when there will
be a completed and perfect organiza
tion, working for the best interests
of all.
Urging organization of the church
forces, the speaker poiuted to the
fact that organization has been ap
plied in business matters and with
good results it has been adopted by
the countries that are allied and are
lighting for a common cause free
dom of the people of Europe. He
predicted that following the war
there will be a great turning to Christ
and urged that the Congregational
church be ready to meet the move
ment at its flood tide.
Rev. William IT. Day was down on
the program to respond to "The
Problem of Leadership," but on ac
count of his absence, the topic was
discussed by Rev. Mr. Herring, who
asserted that the church faces the
problem of seeking leadership; add
ing that leaders do not happen, but
instead, are made.
The speaker regretted that there
are not more young men entering the
ministry to become leaders and de
nied the assertion that ministers are
among the poorest fed and paid men
in the country. He said that the min
isterial field is one of the largest of
the professions and presents wonder
ful opportuuties for young men who
will become leaders in their work.
Each year the scope of the field is
growing greater and its boundaries
will continue to widen so long as the
world lasts.
z Celled in Europe.
The speaker recalled that America,
in order to equip its army with guns
and airplanes, called upon the allies
for its immediate needs, at the same
time inaugurating a program of Am
erican manufacturing.

adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split

daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonf ul of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous day's indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins. The
action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigoratnig. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
other who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro

Common garden sage brewed inta
a heavy tea, with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve
lation if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for, use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and, after another appli
cation or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant. This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease. Advertisement.
