'Buy Omaha Goods'

tory Pay HouU, Sayi Man.
agrr of Campaign.
'.Mighty few people in Omaha
realixe jut what the niaiiufacturiiiif
industry meant to Omaha," aid
I'enn I'. Fodrea. manager of the
"Buy Omaha Goods" campaign.
"Take the annual payroll which
totals more than $J7,(Xhi,0H), accord
ing to government fiKtiret. Factories
pay more than $100,(m0 a day to em
ployei. It it estimated that the an
nual retail volume of all Omaha
torn it between $50,00(1,000 and
$60,000,0(10 per year. If thi. U true,
Omaha factory payroll oiul 02 to
74 pir cent of the value of good
bought over the retail counter in this
city.
"Between 28.000 and 30.000 men
and women are employed by the
manufacturing industry. Thi means
that about one-half of the Otnahans
who are classed as 'employes' are on
factory payrolls. What would it
mean if the manufacturers should
shut down, at a whole, for only a
week?
Will Increase Payrolls.
"We are conducting a campaign
to enlist the help of Omaha people
in buying goods made here, not as
a duty they owe the manufacturer
or their city, but because it will help
put more men and women at work,
will increase factory payrolls, and
will make Omaha a biRRcr, better
and more prosperous city in which
to live.
"If any Omahans can find better
goods at the same money, or the
same quality ot Roods at less money
than is charged for the Omaha prod
uct, it is his duty to buy the, foreign
made article. But if he can get the
same quality and the same price in
Omaha-made goods, then we say
that it is good business to buy the
local product, keep the dollar spent
here in Omaha to help pay taxes,
improve streets, police the city and
make Omaha still bigger and better.
"Omahans have been neglecting
home products simply because they
did n.ot know they could get them.
It's different now and just watch
payrolls and product increase month
after month as time goes on," said
Mr. rodrea.
Price Comparison Urged.
"The one big thing about this
campaign is that manufacturers ask
people to buy Omaha-made products
only when price and quality are as
favorable as can be obtained for
other similar wares," said one big re
tailcr. This store buys considerably
more than $1,000,000 worth of Omaha-made
goods every year and is
buying more, since the campaign
opened.
"In other cities," the retailer con-
tinued, "the appeal has been made
to civic pride and it rlldn't get very
far. But manufacturers challenge
residents to compare price and
lity, and then point out that,
thejt be.ng equal, the purchaser of
Omaha-made goods keeps most of
his dollar at home, where he has
chance to get hold of it again."
Two-Minute Sermons
Written Especially for The Bee by Gipsy Smith
Van Wyck Benner Still
Would Break Mother's Will
Van Wyck Benner, minor son of
Theodora "Happy" Van Wyck Ben
ner, wants set aside the provisions of
his mother's will, which he alleges
establish' unlawful perpetuities in
connection with certain real estate
included in her estate.
He hied a pleading yesterday in
answer to a petition recently filed by
John W. btemhart, executor, ask
ing permission to sell certain real es-
state to meet just claims against the
estate, and to defray the cost of ad'
ministration.
Van Wyck, in his answer, brought
through his father, Fernando W,
Benner, admits the necessity for
such sale, but declares the provisions
of the will would constitute a cloud
on the title. He asks that the mat
ter be returned to county court for
settlement.
U. S. Judge Upholds Rohrer
In Revoking Rum Permits
The action of U. S. Rohrer, pro
hibition enforcement officer, in re
voicing the alcohol permit of the
Wolfe-Farrer Chemical company,
was sustained yesterday by Federal
judge Woodrough.
"From the evidence presented,
find the prohibition director was jus
tified in revoking the permit," the
judge ruled.
The outcome of the Wolfe-Farrer
case was awaited with interest, as
it was regarded as a test case to de
termine whether Rohrer had author
ity to revoke permits ot some nine
k chemical companies whom he sum
'"TOoned before him a month ago.
Partner Sues to Dissolve
Omaha Roofing Company
Dissolution of the Omaha Roofing
company, with offices in the Frenzer
building, is asked in a petition filed
yesterday in district court by Leon-
hard D. Rose, one ot the partners.
George A. Piant, the other partner,
Rose charges, won't let him see the
books. At the time the partnership
wis formed. Rose declares, he put in
$500 and Piant, contributed office
furniture worth about $50.
Rose asks a restraining order en
joining Piant from disposing of any
of the assets of the company until
his case is disposed of. He asks that
the company be sold, and the pro
ceeds divided between Piant and
himself.

Someone ayt that Christianity it
all very fine, but .that the trouble is
that it hat never
hern tried. In t
Urge way thi it
true: tiod hat
never tieen given a
(air chance.
Take the Sermon
mi the Mount. Sup
pose every man
and woman i u
Omaha jiut took
that to luart for
24 hours, and Mid
nothing and did
nothing in deed or
thought which
they could not rec
oncile or harmon
ic with the teach-
ngs to which
Jesus Christ gave utterance in that
wonderful sermon.
Can anybody in the wildest flight
of imagination estimate what would
happen? Why, you couldn't put it
into words; any vocabulary would be
absolutely worthless to describ: what
changes would come about in a
single day if the Sermon on the
Mount were to be practiced. And
ro one would Want to go back to the
old sinful ways, for there is more
happiness in doing right.
The nearest I fan come to e xpre
ing it it to tay that heaven would
have come to earth. And that's w hat
Jetut Christ came to do, to teaen
men and women to live on earth at
they would in heaven, ihit it the
meaning of Hit great prayer, "Iny
will be done, on earth at it'll in
heaven."

Christian spirit.
Men boast of the Golden Utile.
They'll never understand or he able
to practice the Golden Rule Until
they are bom again into the spirit of
the nature of Him who taught it.
"The letter alone killeth. It is the
spirit which giveth life."
The simple reason it it not prac
ticed is that men are dominated by
self. Hut Christ did not come for
self, but to give Himself.

no good to tinker. We ve got to
start with the whole man, not at the
finger tips, but deep within the
heart.
The thought I with to leave is
that irreligiou, which i responsible
for the misery of the world, is not
skin complaint.
