Stradley, who leaves the busi ness to his two sons to conduct in the future. They will continue to operate the business and will make a specialty of manufacturing machin ery of various kinds. Just at pres ent they are not ready for an an nouncement of their plans, but will have something new to offer in a short time. In the past years, they have successfully manufactured and marketed corn shellers and ice cream freezers, as well as numerous other machinery, and have been extensively engaged in designing and perfecting machines manufactured by other con cerns. All are expert mechanics and capable of applying the best me chanical principles to their business. The new firm is composed of Earl I. Stradley and L. T. Stradley. The father, J. V. Stradley, first engaged in this line of business in 1906 and has been active in it3 development ever since, being now entitled to a rest and vacation from the task he has so successfully accomplished.

When wafted away it finds soil r.nd takes root. Sooner or later its fruitage Is seen, Then man sets to work to up root what is green. He takes his spade, fork and hoe, And tries to conjuer what seems a foe. From morn 'till night the battle goes on. Then rests from his labors to sing a song. He thinks an enemy has sowed the seed. And wonders in his heart, what is the need, For such a pest to presume to pollute The fair acres where man desires the fruit. Athought of greed, of fear or anything wrong. Carries its seed on a breeze that is strong, And becomes rooted in soil and soon will grow A crop of fruit just like what you sow. The nations of the world are reaping today Just what they have sown and yet they delay, To think in terms of tolerance and peace, And dogs of war, are ready to unleach. If they thought peace with all their might It would take root, and the fruitage be right, Then with swift action all na tions can afford To place in the scabbared a sheathed sword. "T" Washington, May 31 Organiza tion of a formidable movement to procure former Mayor Richard L Metcalfe's appointment as governor of Hawaii came to light today with the announcement that the Nebraska house delegation and Senator W. H Thompson will call at the White house to indorse Metcalfe to the pres ident. The announcement came from Rep resentative Edward R. Burke, who is leading the move on Capitol hill. The delegation will attempt to obtain an audience with the president Thur3 day, but if they fan they will go later in the week. The movement gained added im petus when Secretary of War Dern today informed Metcalfe he would support him. Dern 13 a former Nc- braskan and an old friend of Met calfe. Say Mullen Backs Him National Committeeman Arthur F. Mullen also is understood to be back ing Metcalfe for the position. To these Indorsements shortly will be added those of a number of senators Senator James Pope (Idaho), anoth er Ionctime friend of Metcalfe, is urging several senators, among them McAdoo (California), Harrison (Mis sissippi), Lewis (Illinois) and other veterans to aid. Metcalfe already has conferred with Postmaster General Farley on the subject and received a sympa thetic reception. Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver, is understood to be the principal opposing candidate for the place. The appointment is awaiting en actment of a resolution which will enable the president to select from the mainland as well as Hawaii. Un der present law it would be neces sary for the president to appoint a native of the islands. President President Roosevelt requested this authority on recommendation of Sec retary cf Interior Iskles. Expect Action Soon The resolution is expected to be passed by both senate. and house by next week, and the r appointment made shortly afterward. Metcalfe has qualified for the po sition In the eyes of his supporters, by his thoroughness and ability in the administration at Panama.

The former mayor expects to re turn to Omaha the latter part of this week. LINCOLN PASTOR OUSTED AS FIGHT LOOMS AT CHURCH Lincoln, isieD., May 31.

Bryan often was received and honored in Neligh hotel, as were oth er famous Journeymen of the days when campaigns were campaigns.

Two Ne braska congressmen have predicted a showdown battle between the newly named Senator William H. Thomp son and National Committeeman Ar thur F. Mullen, over distribution of Nebraska patronage. Thompson and Mullen, they say, will differ as widely on the patron age question as they do in physical appearance. Mullen, tall and rangy, has had his own way in the patronage field so far. He is considered decidedly "in" at the White house, and thus capable of exerting great influence. But Thompson, slight and mild mannered, has indicated his inten tion to shoulder all the duties of a senator which include, under the rule of "senatorial - courtesy," the carving of the patronage pie. Hailing from opposing camps in the Nebraska democratic party, it ap pears Thompson and Mullen are not likely to go arm-in-arm down patron age lane, each picking his own plums and tossing them to his own follow ers, somewhere along the line, say the two astute representatives, there will be war. On a not-too-long guess. It seems that Representatives Edward R. Burke, and Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff, are likely to be on the Mullen side of the fence. Representative Edgar Howard Is friendly toward both Mullen and Thompson, and Is considered a pos sible neutral in the event of bellig erency. Representatives A. C. Shal lenberger of Alma, and John H. Morehead of Falls City, are placed by the dopesters In the Thompson camp. A jigsaw puzzle fan would have no trouble in putting a smashed milk bottle back together. Hostile feelings now current among nations are enough to make the dove of peace a little cuckoo. SANDPITTERS WIN GAME The baseball team known as the Sandpitters, Wednesday afternoon won from a team of the Fort Crook soldiers at Athletic park by the score of 14 to 10.
