No Platform Offered.
Lincoln, Jan. 7.—Former Congress
man Charles H. Sloan of Geneva has
accepted the petitions of more than
2,000 voters, recently filed with the
secretary of state, to run for the
Unite* States senate. With his accep

Sloan Is the second republican to
file his candidacy, the other being
Lieutenant-Governor Fred G. Johnson
of Hastings.
The former congressman was a can

defeated by Senator Norris at the pri

In 1910, he was elected as a republi

congressional district, and three times
re-elected.
While in congress, he especially
championed the agricultural interests,
and was the author and accredited
successful advocate of two measures
designed to reduce the northwest
farmers' losses; the eradication of hog
Cholera and eradication of tubercu
losis in livestock.
Mr. Sloan was a member of the
ways and means committee, being the
^^K^hnly republican from Nebraska to at
tain that position.
Mr. Sloan submits no political plat
form. -
“I believe in the proper and vigor

cially those which the lawless most
numerously challenge,” he declared.
"I am In favor of such reasonable
amendment of our transportation act
as will grant a fair measure of re

American labor, and American indufc

Rainbow Sport
Clothes Are Hit
at St. Moritz
Fleecy Woolen Sportwear Re
sembling Furs Popular for
Skating—Designed by
Parisian Genius.
By Universal Service.
Paris, Jan. 7.—“Kainbow fashions"
are due to hit Lake Placid resorts
from St. Moritz. Switzerland, soon
with all the velocity of an avalanche.
Positively the greatest and most
changeful advance in women’s sport
wear for winter since skiing became
fashionable is the rainbow fashion
which resulted from the inspiration of
Mme. Lambert, a Parisian genius,
who jumped into fame early in the
winter by the invention of fleecy
woolen clothes designed to resemble
furs.
The rainbow costume is not vari
colored but consists of snow boots,
tall leggings which come up four
inches above the knee, short knickers
fastened to gaiters, and a tiny, fluffy,
outstanding skirt resembling that of
a ballet girl and which is so short
that it reveals the tops of the gaiters.
Finally there is a thick sweater sur
mounted by a close-fitting bonnet.
But the amazing feature of this
dress is that it is all one color—either
a vtvid crimson, a glaring green, a
riotous orange or a stormy blue—
from boots and sash to the cap.
Thus, the rainbow effect is pro
duced by a group of skiists, who, at
tired in these outfits, provide a
magnificent panamoia of color
again.-t the background of blinding
snow.
St. Moritz, where there are quite
a number of Americans enjoying the
winter sports, has gone mad over
the new style.
The Mrs. Hudreaus, who liefure
they married the Paris detective and
hi.s son were the widow and daugh
ter of Emperor Jacques Lebaudy, in
heriting his enormous sugar fortune,
with their husbands are among the
leading gamblers at Cannes, where the
smartest society lias begun to gather
•lust now they are among the lucky
players, hut millions of the dollars
of the late “emperor of the Sahara"
have crossed the green tabels as a
result of their enormous bets.
The sensation of the Casino at
Cannes is the tremendous winning
streak of an aged cripple, who ha*'
three times been asked to leave the
room because he Insists on laying
bis wooden leg on the table for “good,
luck."
Chinese Bandits
Kill Britisher
Shanghai, Jan. 7.—Chinese river
bandits attacked the Dollar Steamship
company steamer Tzdsul while It was
anchored for the night near Fung
Tshien between Chuckiang and Ich
ang and killed Captain F. J. Brandt
and one Chinese. Several Chinese
passengers were wounded by the rob
bers.
Captain Brandt was a Britisher.
Mrs. Brandt, residing here, when in
formed of the death of her husband,
said ^he already knew It, having
dreamed Saturday night of seeing the
captain on the bridge struggling In
the midst of a crowd of Chinese.

WINTER CLEARANCE
She couldn’t keep the
cookie jar filled
O MATTER how often she baked, she couldn't
keep the cookie jar filled. Mysteriously the
little golden disks of sugary goodness disappeared.
Little appetites simply couldn’t resist, they were so
light and flaky and nice.
But mother just smiled good naturedly—because
the knew! It was Omar Wonder Flour that made
such irresistible cookies!
Baking with Omar Wonder Flour gives you a
feeling of satisfaction. You are never disappointed,
rrsults arc always the sanjc. No matter what you
bake—pies, cakes, bread, rolls, muffins, griddle
cakes or biscuits—they invariably have a lovely
fineness of texture.
Omar Flour owes its goodness to a special se
lection of spring and winter wheat. It is esj>e
cially rich in gluten—the nutritious, life-giving
element.
You will never regret that you tried Omar.
Order your trial sack from your grocer to-day.

Bakers to Seek
Repeal of Split
Loaf Bread Law
Claim Is Made Buyers Prefer
1 1-2-Pound Loaves, Which
Last Families for
One Day.
Columbus, Neb., Jan. 7.—Columbus
bakers assert a statewide effort is
soon to be launched demanding the
return of the right of the retail bak
ers to sell spilt loavts of bread. A
short time ago the food commission
declared the split loaf illegal since
the state law requires every loaf sold,
regardless of the price, to weigh one
pound. The split loaf weighs one and
one half pounds and under the rul
ing of the state authorities is Illegal
because the next sized loaf should
weigh two pounds Regardless of the
price it sells at.
Bakers declare that more than 40
per cent of the housewives, if they
can't huy the split loaf bake their
own bread since the 15-cent split loaf
is just enough for one day's use of
I he average family while the single
loaf of one pound is too little ami the
two-*ound loaf is too much.
The principal cause for complaint
came when split loaves, sold at whole
sale to saml hill towns by Grand Is
land bakers, were broken In two and
sold at the one loaf price.
The decrease in business as well a<
the easier way. for the bakers, in
making the -split loaves. Columbus
wholesale and retail bakers say, has
resulted In complaint throughout Ne
braska and efforts are heing made to
revise the rulings of the state.
