Stock exchanges, the matter of flnnn
clng the breeding herd and taking
care of the light atock cattle situa
tion In a financial way, was taken up
and thoroly discussed and as the con
eensus of opinion at this meeting
President Tagg wired Secretary Mc
Adoo aa followa:
"Unusual climatic and financial
conditions are aerloualy affecting the
breeding of herds in the west and are
curtailing to a large extent the buy
ing of light stock cattle to put back
on the range for further develop
ment. Stockmen In the weat and in
parts of the northweat and southwest
are cutting down their breeding
herds and refusing to atock up with
light cattle on account of uncertainty
of the financial situation and Inabili
ty to get loana for longer than a six
months' period. In the northwest
where plenty of feed la available for
fliniahing large numbers of atock cat
tle It ia impoasibie to get financial
backing for a longer period. The
banks and loan companies thruout
to live atock territory with the aid
of the federal reserve banka are do
ing everything they can to take care
of the normal live stock industry but
an emergency exiata which they are
unable to properly finance.
The National Live Stock exchange
made a thoro investigation of thla
situation and believes that unless
special emergency aid fk given, there
will be a material decrease In the
herds of breeding cattle andl a small
er number or atock cattle sent back
to the range than usual.
"We would respectfully recom
mend thata liberal appropriation be
set aside to finance this part of the
live stock business in this emer
gency and that a special committee
of three including one practical
stockman, be appointed by you
to have entire charge of the distri
bution of this fund under your su
pervision and that they be given au
thority to lend this money to stock
men on approved security on a years'
time; these funds to be used in help
ing the cattlemen with their breedr
ing herds and with their light Btock
cattle.
"Unless some special attention Is
given to this matter there will be a
big decrease in cattle production dur
ing the next two years.
"We earnestly request that you
give this matter immediate consider
ation." Copies were forwarded to Secre
tary Houston, Mr. Hoover und W. O.
P. Harding, governor of the federal
reserve board, asking their co-operation.

NECESSITY WAS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
For twenty years every hour of every day, I have heard some
one say, "Why does not some one invent something to relieve pain in
a safe and easy manner?" The cry for this great necessity has dwelt
on my mind so long, that I finally solved the problem and have put
it Into use. Through Sturgis & Sturgis, Attorneys, I Died for a patent
on this most wonderful method to relieve pain.

"work or fisht" ho means it and he
doesn't mean monkey work, either.
It's show up or be shut up.
Government as well us local of
ficials had reasons to think there
were quite a few men and boys in the
Tri-Clty that were not meeting
the requirement of helping to liek
the Kaiser, by engaging in essential
industry of connecting themselves
with the military service. Accord
ingly a big raid was planned.
And K was some ruid. too, the big
gest thing of the kind that has been
pulled off on the Missouri river in a
long while. Federal and police offi
cers, assisted by business men that
were drafted into service for the oc
casion, began the drive at 6:30 last
Thursday evening and did not com
plete the Job until 2 o'clock the next
morning. Men were picked up on the
streets, in the parks, at theaters,
movie bouses and hotels.
The majority of those taken were
able to furnish an alibi but in so do
ing furnished a good many funny In
cidents. The following account is
taken from the Omaha Dolly News
or Friday:
Leading Omaha business men driv
ing their private cars, including lux
urious limousines, the sheriff's office,
military police, the police depart
ment, home guards, state agents and
railroad detectives were used in pull
ing off the mamonth slacker drive.
Starting at 6:30 p. m. the drive
did not end until 2 a. m.
More than 200 men were taken to
the county Jail following the raid to
ferret out the registration shirk, t
Following their examination early to-

ae ivu men were taken to the
county Jail in large military trucks
unaer guara or military police.
The 100 men now in jail, accord
ing to Kus8ell Eberstein of the de
partment of Justice, will be turnml
over to their draft boards wherever
Possible. If a man resides outside
me cuy ne will be held until word
can be received from his draft board.
Men who are not registered or
wfco are draft delinquents will be
inducted into the service or held
for trial on charge of evading the
"Eats nothing," he replied. 'You be
on hand."
Paul Skinner, of the Skinner Mac
aroni company, was Mr. Shepard's
raiding partner. They mr.de the
rounds of all the South Thirteenth
street pool halls and moving picture
t heaters.
Nothing exiciting happened, "I
sure would like to see some fellow
try to run away," said Mr. Skinner.
"I would like to have a good foot
race."
Before the last men had been re
corded and investigated the local
board officials were soaking wet
from perspiration. Henry Myers, of
board No. 1 und C. E. Foster of
board No. 5 took ttrelr collnri. vir
when thingB became hot, and when
they were ready to go home their col
lars had been lost in the rush.
Claude Hull, of Fremont, was the
first man taken into custody. He got
a "clean slate" via a hurried tele-
pnone call.
Paul Skinner was uu.-..t o .
burly negro at Thirteenth oad Wil
Itun Btreets. The negro became abus

two or three times. The necro w
then ready tto talk business.
'Oh, mister! Won't you please get
my husband, Dan Hendley, out?"
said a woman to Sam Burns, of the
home guards, who was on guard
duty at one of the entrances to the
federal building. "We have only 26
uiinuies 10 eaten a train.
Mr. Burns hesitated for a moment.
'Please hurry," continued the excit
ed woman. "Now we have only 25
minutes."
W. E. Shepard, of the Industrial
Chemical company, brot two loads of
negroes to the federal building. He
discovered them shooting them craps
on South Thirteenth street.
After being examined tne negroes
met Mr. Shepard at the federal build
ing door. One of them said: "Thanks
for the ride, mister. That's some
car you all got. What do you get
paid for this?"
Captain Kingsbury and three of
his corps of military policemen got

Wilson Brother's
POTASH
STOCK
Money invested in POTASH is earning the largest dividends the world
has ever known. You, too, would invest your money if you were absolutely
sure of the COMPANY, the PLAN of OPERATION and the MEN behind
the PROPOSITION.
Given a certain lake, an expert can ascertain the amount of potash it .
contians, the quality of the potash, figure its commercial value and the
cost of its production.
The Wilson brothers lakes are not an experiment nor an uncertainty.
By analysis the lakes show from 10 per cent to 12 per cent crude potash.
Analysis by Gascoyne & Co., Baltimore, in July showed a 26.48 K20 and a
2632 K20 equal to 28 per cent when dry. Figured at $5 per unit the com
mercial value is $140 per ton.
There are 3 lakes of about 20 acres, 10 acres and 3 acres respectively
The 3 lakes are located in a group on one of the Wilson ranches, 3 miles
northeast of Antioch. The road is level. The potash plant now in opera
tion was built last spring and was the pioneer inland plant. The plant now
produces about three tons of potash per day. The lakes have been proven
worthy of a plant capable of producing a minimum of ten tons per day. A
ten ton plant is to be built to be in operation in November. The small plant
will be run until the ten ton plant is completed.
This is a sure proposition proven by facts. The lakes have plenty of
water, the potash beds are deep, the brine shows a very high analysis, the
cost of production is now running very low and can still be cut down. The
men behind the company are pioneer ranchers of northwest Nebraska and
pioneers of the Small inland type of potash plants.
You will not have to wait six months or a year to start earning divi
dends. They are producing POTASH NOW.
They are incorporating for $100,000 par value of shares $100. Only
enough stock will be sold to pay for the ten ton plant complete. This stock
will not last long. This is a home company backed by home men. If you
want to make application for stock, write to OSCAR B. OLSON, Secre
tary, Pioneer Potash Company, Antioch, Nebraska.
