Usual court procedure by which the ptalntlff to a lawsuit first introduces evidence and opens the arguments was revet fh! In the trial of a Si3,0 libel suit brought by Fred Hoyc. republican can didate for sheriff in 1011, against the Omaha Dally News. On a ruling ot Dis trict Judge Troup the defendant assumed tha burden of proof and the right to the opening and rinsing statements. Attorneys for Hoye declared they should have retained the usual privileges of the plaintiff on the ground that tho news paper made no attempt to prove the truth of nn artlclo published concerning Hoyo and that in on1r to alter the situation It was necessary for the court to hold that the article was "libelous per " which, they asserted. In tills case is a jury question, it being the Issue on which tho case will be tried. The term means libelous In Its nature. The defense mado by the newspaper Is that tho article complained of wsr not libelous. Counsel for the News declared to the Jury that statements In the article that Mr. Hoye was friendly to Tom Pen nlwiri were not Injurious to him and that there was nothing about Mr. Dennlson that would make such a statement libel ous; that tha editor of the News was merely presenting the political views which he wanted tho voters to adopt when he made the charges against Mr. Hoye, and that tho News merely was politically opposed to Mr, Dennlson. Attorneys for Mr. Hoye will attempt to show that the artlclo waa published as tho result of malice. They assert that statements in It charging that tho laws wero being openly violated In Omaha reflected against Mr. Hoye who was re ferred to in the capacity which lie held at the time of fire and police commissioner. -."sflaeaT"aw.

Fort aaya they have raised an enor mous fruit crop and the prbducers Are getting fairly good prices. This has brought a lot of money into the country and at the same time has furnished em ployment for a vast army of men In the fields and orchards.

Take the Western avenue Job that we are on. There we nel husklts to do paving work, but our men can't find them cither around the Plasa or at tho employment agencies. We also need men for other kinds of work. For Instanco, we ara always needing skilled mechanics, carpenters and tleetrlclans. "It Is the unskilled labor problem that worries us most. Starting from the lx Sinning last month the Pacific Klectrlc sustained storm damages amounting to between 75u.(tt) and M.OOo.OrtO. Lately we have been having trouble on soma of our cars because service hss been poor. Why? Simply because we have been unable to find enough men to do heavy work, wlold tho ptek and shovol, or do tough bridge work, such a Is needed in impairing storm damage "Step Inside, a clrols of agitators and you will hear It said: 'The Pacific Klec trlc hires cheap Maxlcaps.' We do, hut only because, wo havu to. The Mexican will work, barring a week or so right after pay day, when ho must spend his money. Can Onlj- ftrt Mvxirnna, "Now. the Mexican gets tl.M pr day, and wo furnish him provisions and a place to sleep. If we could yet Ameri cans or husky foreigners wo would pay them twice as much. For Instance, when we can B't Slavonians we give them B.W and $3 per day because they are worth it. Wo would give Americans tho same. because they would be worth It If they would work. "But your fr-born American cltlwri will no longer demean himself by doing track work. They will not live in bunk houses and thy will not go away from home. At least our Angelcnoa will not. I know he will not, for we have combed every employment agency In this town and the Plaza, aa well. "Did we ever get any Americans? We did not; ovory one of thm when ap proacheH by our emissary, said that his health was too poor, or that he ha.1 enough money to carry him over until he would get an easier Job In the city, "Next month there will be work for all, for the Mexicans will be quitting us for the fields and many of our carpenters and others will be getting back Into the building field. There wll be desertions In our ranks and other railroad ranks (or the ranch and the mine. I merely mention this to show that all tastes can soon be suited In the matter ot employment. The news has gono out from here that things a ro flat tn the labor line. Tourists have, seen the woeful tiding In carjaln of our organcttes and have carried them back east. Now, while I pity an industri ous man out of work, I well that for everybody's good, some one should talco a club and compel every Jack of theso raritera and Kelley followers to elthf:, gu to work or get out of here." j Mir. tnei Kennedy. !( CaMwell strcc, w&i raliirnllT hurnW amjut iw arms as she was cleaning a pair of while kid glove with awllne.

SS Food Fads 99 The Government has issued a timely warning against the food faddists who are offering to cure all sorts of ailments with strangely concocted food prepar ations that are supposed to supply the needed elements for restor ing wasted tissue and energy. Shredded Wheat is not a "food fad". It is the one universal, staple breakfast cereal that has survived all the ups and downs of public fancy. It will not cure disease, but its continued use will keep the stomach sweet and clean and the bowels healthy and active. It will cor rect many digestive disorders and thus restore health and strength through proper nutrition a food for invalids and athletes, for out door men and indoor men. Ask your grocer. Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crispness. Two Shredded . Wheat Biscuits with hot milk or cream will supply all the energy needed for a half day's work. Deliciously nourishing when eaten in combination with baked apnles, stewed prunes, sliced bananas or canned or preserved fruits. Try toasted Triscuit, the Shredded Wheat wafer, for luncheon with butter, cheese or marmalade. Made only by The Shredded Wheat Company, Niagara Falls, N. Y. IStoro Hours, 8:30 A. M. to 6 P. M.
