I do not know whether the reduction will he made generally by all members of the association In the state.’’ Another move In the gasoline price war was made here last night, when the city council, by special action, granted permission for the state to in stall a 20,000-gallon storage tank on a trackage site in the western part of the city.

FARMERS STRIVE FOR PROSPERITY Kimball. Neb.. May 6.—Determined to win back the losses of the last few years by hard work and closer atten tion to the business of farming, farm ers in this section of Nebraska are taking hold with a stronger grip than ever, according to Andrew Barrett, Kimball stock buyer. The better feel ing over financial matters is an in dication of better times, in the opin ion of Mr. Barrett. Pointing out that plans for this year’s crop on every farm in this part of the state include a good-sized field of corn, Mr. Barrett Indicated that the western Nebraska farmer Is get ting away from the single crop plan. •'There have been more pure bred hogs bought for this county end Its surrounding territory than in all previous years. Last year’s heavy corn crop has gone almost entirely in to hogs and cattle,” he said. One stock buyer of Kimball coun ty, according to Mr. Barrett, has bought and shipped more than $18,000 worth of cattle and hogs since April 1 of this year, these coming from a section of the state, which could not furnish halt that amount in hogs a year ago. Lincoln-Meridian Highway Tourist Travel Increases Columbus. Neb., May 6.—There are 100 per cent more automobile tourists traveling the Lincoln and Meridian (Winnipeg to Mexico City) highway this spring than the same time a year ago.* Hundreds of tourists con tinue to speed east from California daily, many of them stopping at local camps.

Liquid Malted Milk Co. :: Manufacturers u CEDAR RAPIDS, — IOWA ^ — t Nearly everyone refers to him as "Hal" McCord, and nearly everyone knows him. The city directory and the telephone directory refer to him as W. H. McCord, president of the McCord Brady company. There Is a hit of genuine business romance In the career of Hal Mc Cord since he decided to cast his lot In Omaha 45 years ago. His father, James McCord, established a grocery business In St. Joseph In 1846, In the days of steamboats, and In the days when the Santa Fe and Oregon trails were the great lanes of transporta tion from the Missouri river to the southwest, the great west and to the northwest. When Mr. McCord was a boy In his father’s grocery hojise In St. Joseph, the only railroad he knew of was the old Hannibal & St. Joseph, the pioneer railroad In that territory. He and J. S. Brady, then a salesman for the elder McCord s establishment, decided to locate In Omaha which was even then giving promise of becoming the great metrop olis of Nebraska and the Gate City of the west. In 1879 Mr. McCord and Mr. Brady opened the Nave, McCord and com pany's place of business on a site now occupied by the Burlington rail road headquarters at Tenth and Farnam streets. During 1891 the company moved to Its present location at Thirteenth and Howard streets and the name changed to McCord Brady company. The organization has more than 300 men and women and its activities ex tend over a wide territory of the Canadian border. Mr. McCord has been an active participant in the movements for Omaha's upbuilding. Including the Transmlsslsslppl exposition, Ak-8ar Ben, Chamber of Commerce and similar projects. As a promoter of the annual Omaha horse show, held In the Auditorium for years, he was Indefatigable. Through this horse show Omaha received considerable subxtantlal advertising In many states. He has also extended hla Influence In the direction of cultural affairs, being firmly convinced that a city cannot become truly great through material resources alone. tmto “■ _ i Program for May 7.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound “A Blessing to Suffering Women,” Writes One Louisville, Illinois.— "I certainly thank you for the great benefit 1 have received from taking Lydia E. I’lnkham'a Vegetable Compound. I first learned about it from my step mother who got so much help from it. Several years ago I took it for inward weakness and since then I have taken it during the Change of Life and it has been a great help to me. It certainly is a blessing to suffering women and 1 take pleas ure in recommending it. My health has been better this summer than it has been for five years. 1 am now able to do all my work and have canned 340 quarts of fruit and vege tables this summer.”—Mrs. Kate McPeak, Louisville, Illinois. Want* Latter Used As Proof Frankford,Pennsylvania.—"I am sure if women who suffer through the Change of Life as I have, with hot flashes, nervousness and other weaknesses, would give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial they would be benefited as I was. My nerves were so bad that every little noise made me jump, but now I am not bothered that way at all. My husband savs he really hated to look at me 1 looked so miserable. I hope you will use this letter ss proof of the help the Vege table Compound is giving me.’ — Mrs. Arm*: Harvey, 6701 Leonard St..

These continued probably two years be fore I began taking Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. I could do none of my work and was not Blways able to be up. For ten days at a time I was forced to remain in bed with my hips propped higher than my head and the pains were terrible. The doctor helped some but each time I was forced to go over the same suffering. 1 had taken the Vegetable Compound in 1910 after my twins were born and it had helped me so 1 decided to try it again. I became better and gained in strength. I have taken it for about three years now but not steadily. 1 am able to do my house work nut 1 avoid all heavy lifting and washing and ironing a* I know 1 am not strong enough yet, I giva the Vegetable Compound to my daughters and recommend it to my friends.Mra.

Howell Deplores Partisan Attack on Barkley Bill Had Democrat Introduce Rail Measure in House to Keep It Out of Politics. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Dim Washington, May 5.—In a state ment issued today Senator R. B. How ell expressed regret that the Howell Rarkley bill had been drawn into bit ter partisian politics in the lower house. "The attempt to make this bit of progressive railway legislation a party issue is certainly regrettable and un called for," Senator Howell said. ‘‘It was to avoid partisan politics and to consider the bill on its merits that friends of the bill had Representative Barkley, a democrat, to introduce It in the house, and myself, a republl can. Introduce it in *he senate. “I was astounded to learn that cer tain leaders had veritably kidnaped the measure and put the brand of partisan politics on the bill in order to gain party advantage. However, I don't believe many persons will be fooled into believing the bill in any way bears a party stamp." At the same time Senator Howell expressed regret that In press reports of the vote on the Mellon tax plan he was recorded as not voting. The congressional record shows that. Sena tor Howell, with Senator Norris, cast an affirmative vote for the 40 per cent surtax provision which was the bone of contention in the senate de bate yesterday. The action of Howell, a western man from the farming region, In In troducing the Howell Barkley railroad bill has been the means of drawing considerable labor support In the house to the McNary-Haugen bill. Friends Crowd Church at Eggers’ Funeral Denison, la.. May fi.—William Eggers, one of the best known citizens of this county, was buried at the Denison cemetery Sunday. He had been a resident of the county for over 40 years, was member of the board of supervisors for two terms, was state game warden, and had held many township offices. Friends overcrowded the Methodist church to attend the funeral services. Mr. Eg gers was a very large man and had been helpless with paralysis for over two years. Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” v —---' How Did Dicky Transform the Irato Lucy? If a hand grenade had exploded in the room I do not think little Mrs. Durkee would have been more startled than ehe was at the defiant speech of Lucy, the colored maid. All of us were surprised and angry, but the face of our hostess was wiped clear of everything save stark bewil derment. The color rushed into her cheeks and an angry glitter to her eyes, but too late for Lucy to sea them. The colored woman had not waited to see ths effect of her ultimatum, but had turned with a contemptuous ; See for yourself on the screen Let us show you motion pictures that otheramateurs ; have made with a Cine Kodak. All they did wa» to train the camera and mrn the crank. And that’s all you’ll have to do. Inspect the outfit here at this store and then see for yourself on the screen. Eastman Kodak Co. Robert Dempster Co.) f|/.~\ 1813 Faraem St |yMn Branch Stare 308 South 15th St. J glance at Dicky and stalked from the room. "What—what on earth does she mean?" Mrs. Durkee demanded ang rily. "I never heard such nonsensi cal talk. Bootleggers, and her being holiness and all! The woman must he crazy. Leila, you mustn't have her here another minute. Go down now. and tell her to leave the house at once." Katherine, Leila and I exchanged glances of dismay. That the woman richly deserved discharge for her Im pertinence we all knew, but she was efficient, and what the household would do without her until Mrs. Dur kee was strong enough to take up the reins again, was a question hard to answer. But before Mrs. Durkee's Justifiable wrath we all stood help less, and It was Dicky who unexpect edly came to the rescue. Katherine’s Explanation. Dropping to his knees in burlesque fashion, he wriggled himself ridicu lously to a position In front of Mrs Durkee's chair, and there put up his hands imploringly. "Which way would you rather have me killed?” he asked. "Please make It as easy as you can, but I deserve the worst, for I—only 1!—am to blame!" , “Get up. you ridiculous idiot," Mrs Durkee said, laughing, "and tell me what you mean." “No, I stay right here until absolu tion or death." he returned obstin ately. “As to what I mean, it is very simple. That blooming female downstairs was so blasted haughty when she admitted Madge and me to your house that I couldn’t help rag ging her a little, and in the course of my remarks I told her X was your favorite bootlegger. And as I judge from her own comments that she be longs to some sect which abhors law breakers, the well-known fat sput tered Into the equally w. k. fire, pronto.” “She belongs to a church one of whose names is holiness." Katherine interposed, "and she has told me that she 'don't have no truck with thr wohld, no' how.' ” "Behold the Original!'* We laughed involuntarily at Katli erlne's inimitable mimicry, but the merriment was strained, and Dicky abruptly got to hts feet. "No wonder she won't have no truck with us.” he said. "Now, lis ten, weenies all. This is mv funeral. I started it and with the help of my own little joss I’ll finish it." He hurried out of the room, closing the door smartly behind him, while we all stared at each other. "What do you suppose he's going to do?" Mrs. Durkee breathed. “X don't know," I answered, for all* was looking at me as If I were an authority upon my husband's vagaries! "I suppose he has gone In search of Lucy." "Wherever he’s gone, he'll c°me back with the bacon." Katherine said, and we all echoed her prophecy, though I think each of us was a bit uneasy until Dicky burst Into the room again, waving his arms In tri umph. But he was careful to shut the door behind him before he spoke. "Behold the original little peace maker!" he intoned. "The lady is not only pacified, but she Is enthusi astic upon the subject of getting up a luncheon for me and the wife. But she has her own Ideas on the subpeet, and I’d advise you to let her have her head. She says to me, say* she. " ‘Yoh tell my madame jes toh leave everything in mah hands ef she wants something real hangup snd classy."’ i Little Mrs. Durkee stiffened in her chair. "I don't like that at all." she sain, all her outraged housewifey in her voice. "The idea of her presuming to say she'd plan everything. Ont __ would think she didn't have any mistress." With one consent we women looked at Dicky. I think Katherine and Leila shared my feeling that he had gotten us Into this scrape, and we were perfectly willing to leave the • extrication wholly to him. I knew, and could not help a tiny thrill of malice at the knowledge that Dicky would have given a fat commission to be free of the ludi crous dilemma he had brought upon himself by his untimely banter ot the saturnine Lucy.
