A MILLION DOLLARS
Wyoming Real Ewtatr Man Ak
1,000 In Hull Filed hi Truiw-
fer nf a Potaeh Ijake
The Sunday Omaha World-Herald
contained the following artlrle regard
ine the suit of Feter J. Long against
John H. Krause of Alliance for $992.
000, arising out of the tranafer of a
section of land northeuat of Alliance
to Krause in January, 1916:
A western chraska ,aKO o c :
log 400 acrea which, together with
260 acres of land, wan Bold two years
ago for $K.0hi ! Peter .1. Long to
John II KrattM aid his hrother Hei
innn, of SIh ridii n tonnty, Nebraska,
was really worth 11.000.000. aaya
Long and he has asked the l)oughr
dlalricl court to order Krauae to pay
hlni the dfference. $9911,000. between
the price he go for the property
and Its real value.
A motion to force Long to give
bond for the coat of the ault waa arg
ued In Judge Sears" court Saturday
by Attorney John M. Macfarland,
acting for Krause. The court suh
talned the motion. Next week a de
murrer to another motion will be ar
gued and the main case will probably
go to trail before Christmas.
The word "potash" explains the
difference between the value of tii"
property two years ago and today.
According to the petition, Long, a
real estate man of Wyoming, owned
440 acres in Sheridan county, N -braska.
Four hundred acres of the
tract was in a lake. The water of
the lake was brackiBh and could not
be used by cattle.
John 11 . Krause is a rattle man
living in Sheridan county. He owns
30.000 acres of land in that county
Krause purchased Long's 640
acres, and paid him $8,000 for the
tract. The deal was made In Jan
uary, 1916. Long says Krause knew
the property was u.ih $1 000,0( 0 at.
the time but that he himself did not
know It.
Krause, he says in his petition,
knew that the lake was worth
11,000,000 for its potash but that h"
persuaded Long that the bottom h id
dropped out of the potash market
and that Nebraska potash fields
wore worthless. He alleges, In his
petition, that Krause owes him $9912.
000 and aska the court to award him
that sum.
Krause is said to be drawing $1.
000 daily from a small portion of his
land which is being used for potash
production purposes.

The surgeon lis extracted the Im
partially distributed bits of shrapnel
from your works. The wounds have
healed. The wheels go 'round again,
and the clock ticks.
But It doesn't keep Correct time.
This business of calling "Time I" on
the Roche means so ninny broken clocks
nowadnys that the muster-menders
can't keep them on their tables after
they're mended. So the nest Ion where
they shall sit round while they're be
ing repilitted looms large.
The Red Cross answers that ques
tion with Its co'ivaleseent homes. It
has six of these In operation. A suit
able place Is found sometimes do
nated and maniiKement and oquljh
tnMt are provided by the Red Cross,
while the Army has furnish. d disci
pline and a never-failing supply of con
valescents. These homes mean that men who
are Karceij hospital subjects, yet who
can by no means go hack to their du
ties, have a place that does what
"homt" does for tne French or Eng
lish Boldier, what "home" does for
any one, In fact, when the doctor gete
through.
You know. He r.sys : "You're all
right now. It's only a mntter of nurs
ing and food."
But you know he's only looking at
the works he's tinkered, and that the
soul within you Is grousing as It never
did when the body was down and out
It wants something, and It doesn't
know what It is. But If It doesn't get
It pretty quick the works are going to
get gummed again. You know your
mother could find out what that dog
gone thing is right away and hand it
to you on a plate. But General Per
shing won't let you go to her.
And the War Department won't let her
come to you
Then you're ;aken to a Red Cross
convalescent home - and there is the
very thing you wanted ! But yon
couldn't describe It even then to save
your life.
It Is a bit of coddling, and pretty
surroundings, and women's faces, and
light laughter and time to play and all
that sort of thing. It Is forgetting the
rash of war and remembering that
there are plea.sant, soft voices. It's
even such things as gaily-flowered sofa
pillows to Jam Into a. comer and make
a nice lolling place while you read
and smoke and alk. It's slippers In
stead of trench boots, or day-dreams
in place of the nightmare of killing.

The customary sale of Red Cross
Chrlstrms W M .will not be held this
year. It seemed best to both the
American Red Cross and the National
Tuberculosis Association to unite In
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call to
reduce the number of appeals to the
public for contributions. There will
be no lesseniug of activities by the
National Tuberculosis Association
through this arrangement, al the Red
Cross War Council has appropriated
$2,r00,000 for anti tuberculosis work
in 1919 In lieu of the money tjiat ordi
narily would lie raised by a Christmas
Seal Campaign. However, every per

awarded ten seals to be used as bre
