Brought Here
U. S. Government Co-Operat
ing With Local Horsemen to
Assist Breeders in This
- Section.
At a banquet given by the Union
Stockyards of South Omaha to the
horsemen lately attending the racing
meet at Ak-Sar-Ben field, a fund was
raised for the purchase of the best
thoroughbred stallion to be found in
Omaha. The purchase details were
put In the hands of M. C. Peters.
In recognition of the efforts made
to assist the breeders In this sec
tion a radiogram received from Gen
eral Bollenger, acting quartermaster
general of the United States army,
Washington, D. C., grants to the com
mittee for use at Omaha either Mr.
Macomber's celebrated stallion, Dixon,
or the famous stallion, Balance
Wheel, by Ben Brush.
Tho United States army remount
service Is also sending to Omaha the
purbred Arabian stallion, Rodan. This
is the first time a pure Arabian horse
has been seen in Omaha. This stal
lion has been out of health and is
sent here to be fitted and conditioned
under M. C. Peter's direction.
In this “better sires'’ movement the
development of the horses for the
army, for racing or pleasure, is only
one small detail of the campaign. The
Department of Agriculture under the
direction of Secretary Wallace is ac
tively engaged in- pushing every ave
nue of extension it the work, be
lieving as they do iA the necessity for
developing an interest in better breed
ing of livestock.

“Buy It Early” Say Omaha Coal Dealers
— ■■
Buy your coal early! *
That's the slogan of the National
Association of Coal Dealers.
The chief reason for the call for
early buj'ing of fuel is aimed to help
tht* farmer at harvest time.
During September. October and
November when the bulk of the
country's supply of grain is ready
for shipment to market, the railroads
are taxed almost to a breaking point
in moving coal.
For years farmers have suffered
through inability of the railroads to
move their crops.
Farmers’ associations, the govern
ment Department of Agriculture and
the National Association of Coal
Dealers started the movement for
early fuel buying to help relieve the
situation. The association of coal
dealers is urging all dealers to store
anthracite and semi anthracite fuels
in the summer.
Coal dealers have willingly cooper
ated in the movement, although by
so doing they necessarily Increase
their overhead expense, which in turn
lowers their margin of profit ma
terially.
The above picture shows howr Oma
ha coal dealers are storing fuel to
Beggar Bewails Broken Organ
“D _ O
Bends Over Mute Instrument in Despair—“They
Cost $6.25 at Sears-Roebuck and You Can’t Use
’Em a Year Any More!”
It should have been a real “sob"
story.
The aged blind man on the south
west corner of Fourteenth and Doug
las streets was bending tenderly over
his tiny band organ. The organ was
broken, and the old man caressed It
clumsily with his wrinkled hands, ap
parently hoping to persuade It to give
forth more plaintive melodies.
But the organ remained silent. It
was a battered old organ, and the
pain and despair which showed on
the blind man’s face Indicated that
Ithadheen his constant companion for
countless years. It seemed, too, that
this old man mu9t have known many
great sorrows and many startling ad
ventures, so lined and weather
beaten was his countenance. Prob
ably he had been stricken blind from
some tropic malady while adventur
ing In the South Seas, the Malay
opast or the Congo.
Well, Yes.
Yes, It should have been a real
“sob” story, with thrills and heart
throbs galore, but here Is the w»y It
turned out:
“Is your organ broken?'' the old
man Was asked.
“Yes, it is worn out.” he replied
In a matter-of-fact tone. “They
don't make these organs like they
used to. I guess it's the heat that
put this one on the blink. That's
what made me go blind, too—the
heat. I was working In the Union
Pacific shops 16 years ago when the
heat got me. It affected my optic
nerve.
"My name? It's Tom Haley and
I live at 1207 Douglas street. No,
I've never traveled much and I don't
know a thing about the Congo or
those Malay states you speak of—
never heard of ’em in fact.
Sears-Roebuck Organ.
"What worries me is this d—m
organ breaking down. I got it from
Sears Roebuck last January for $6.25,
and I never wore one out before in
less than a year. Yes. it must be
the heat that's affected It. Well. I
guess I'll have to order a new one.
You've got to attract people some
way or other, and music seems to
do the business.
"Thank you,” he concluded In his
matter-of-fact voice, as a dimo
tinkled in his tin cup. I.lttle did be
suspect that the dime probably would
have been a quarter had he only in
vented an adventure somewhere in
the tropics, or shown more affection
for his organ.
The Dutch government estimates
that the Inqome of ex Kaiser Wilhelm
Is approximately $50,00 a year, while
Princess Hermine has a separate in
come of $40,000 a year.

Court Rules Circus Must ray
Family of Boy Who Ran Away
The lure of the circus.
Why Is It so powerful In It* effect
on the average boy?
And If a boy succumbs to the en
chantment of the play-world or
(grease paint, sawdust and lemonade
which the circus represents, must
that Institution pay the boy's family?
The district court says yes to the
last question, and awarded a Nebras
ka family 17,500 when that family
brought suit against the circus be
cause their son ran away with it.
The circus—Rlngllng Brothers—has
appealed to the supreme court, That
court has not yet handed down a ver
dict.
Happened In Lincoln.
It happened in Lincoln, Neb. The
boy is Jacob Tavlinsky, Jr., better
known as Johnny among his play
mates. He was Just an ordinary boy,
with ordinary desire for adventuro
and the ordinary love for his homo
and parents, which after all Is not
an ordinary love, but rather one that
usually holds boys at home despite
all temptations.
But the circus was too much for
Johnny. He viewed the elephants,
the trapeze performers and the
clowns with round eyed amazement
and succumbed. That flight he
failed to return to the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Tavlin
sky. truck gardeners on the north
side of Lincoln.
This was back In 1920. Johnny had
been given money to see the clrdus
that afternoon. When he failed to
return that night his mother was
frantic. The boy's parents could not
write Engltsi but they were con
vinced the circus was responsible for
his disappearance, and had a friend
write to the circus management.
Not With Cirrus.
The reply from the business man
0
ager Informed them Johnny was not
with the circus. After several weeks
of fretful waiting the parents re
ceived a letter from Johnny, which c
read: 1
"I am with the circus. I rode the.;
train with the circus men out of Lin-’
coin and got a Job at St. Joe. It
holds good both in summer and win
ter quarters, and I'm going to Stay
with the show.”
Nor would Johnny return, even
after he had received many letters
begging him to return. He began
writing to his younger brother. He
told of winning easy mohey at cards,
of women who were friendly and fast,
and bragged of the big time he was
having when the circus reached the
Madison Square Garden, in New
I York city.
The mother seized these letters and
found a friend to read them for her.
They worried her more and more.
Cirrus Comes Bark.
A year from the day Johnny had
left home the circus came back to
Lincoln, and Johnny with it. Eut
how he had chanced! He swaggered
into the little Tavlinsky home, a cigar
in his mouth, diamonds on his fin
gers and tie, and gaudy clothes on
his body.
He tossed a roll of bills to his
mother, telling her he won It gam
bling and asking her to buy something
for herself with it. She was in tears.
The father tried to persuade Johnny
to remain at home, but it was not the
same Johnny who had gone to .the
matinee performance of the show a
year before. He refused to leave the
show, and then his parents consult
ed a lawyer, who brought suit against
the circus for J25.000.
On hearing of the suit Johnny went
home and cursed his parents.
“You were fools," he told them bit
terly. "The circus has millions of
dollar* behind It. All you've done 1*
lost me my Job."
Johnny Weaken*.
But the tear* In his mother's eyes
did make a difference, and Johnny
weakened. He went to the manager
of the show, and after exphesslng sor
row over the suit, he quit.
And now It Is up to the supreme
court'to determine whether the circus
must pay for the sorrow his parents
experienced during hie absence, If
that court uphold* the decision of
the district court, the circus must
pay the parents damage*. And such
a verdict would at least establish a
precedent which would make cir
cuses use every precaution in pre
vent In'g small boys from succumbing
to the lure and leaving their homes.

from fine china.

Special-Six Touring Car

STUDEBAKER
1924 Models
Studebaker presents its complete
liife of 1924 models, announced a
week ago, with the conviction that
they will increase the prestige of the
name Studebaker which, for 71 years,
has stood for the best in transporta
tion, quality and value of product.
Into these 1924 cars are built every
proved feature in design that makes
for the comfort, convenience *nd
safety of passengers, and many re
finements that further enhance the
value of a line of cars already highly
perfected.
It is common knowledge in the.
steel industry that Studebaker uses
only the highest grades of the finest
steels. And the same is true of the
electrical equipment, instruments,
bearings, batteries, upholstery, finish
ing paints, tires and accessories used
in Studebaker cars.
It is equally well known that
Studebaker, with $90,000,000 of ac
tual net assets, including $45,000,000
of plant facilities, is unsurpassed in
ability and resources to manufacture
economidally and give maximum in
trinsic value for a given price. ,
Produced under these favorable
conditions, the 1924 Studebakers are
distinctly the finest cars and greatest
values Studebaker ever offered.
These are not careless statements.
They are facts that reflect the hon
esty and integrity of the manufac
turer and its product just as they do
the truth of Studebaker advertising.
The public has placed its confidence
in Studebaker by accepting these
facts, supported by the performance
of Studebaker cars in owners’ use.
That’s why Studebaker sales for the
p&at six years have increased pro
gressh-ely each year and sales for
the first six months of 1923 of 81.880
cars broke all six months’ records.
Studebaker never cheapens qual
ity to meet competition. The name
Studebaker stands for satisfaction
and service.
