National Swine
Growers' Meeting
i In Chicago Today
The National Swine Growers' as
sociation, the body which staged the
highly successful National Swine show
in Omaha, October 2 to 7, last, will
hold its annual meeting in Chicago
today. The unanimous sentiment of
the officers and members ot the na
tional assocation is for the holding of
the 1917 show in Omaha; in fact,
realizing that the horse and mule
barns on the South Side rank as the
best hog pavilion in the country and
that this city is the logical center of
the greatest porcine stock belt in the
land, the majority favor the Nebraska
metropolis as the permanent show
locale.
E. Z. Russell, associate editor of
the Twentieth Century Farmer and
superintendent of exhibits at the 1916
show, probably the busiest man on
the grounds and one who had as
much to do with the success of the
swine classic as any other individual;
Everett Buckingham, chairman of the
executive committee, and W. H. Shell
berg, superintendent of concessions,
are representing Omaha at the an
nual meeting of the national body.
Swine breeders and local business
men are confident they will be suc
cessful in bringing the 1917 classic
to Omaha.
The financial report covering re
ceipts and disbursement of funds at
the 1916 show was sent out to the
subscribers to the show last week.
The receipts wese $12,857.15 and the
disbursements $12,781, leaving a bal
ance of $75.48 in the bank.
The members of the executive
committee are: E. Buckingham,
chairman; A. C. Davenport, E. P.
Peck, G. J. Ingwersen, A. C. Smith,
T. F. Sturgess and A. F. Stryker.

A Hint to the Aged.
If people past 60 years of age could
lie persuaded to go to bed as soon as
they take cold and remain in bed for
one or two days, they would recover
much more quickly, especially if th,ey
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger of
the cold being followed by any of the
more- serious diseases. Adv.

Ladies! Darken
Your Gray Hair
Look Years Younger) Use Grand-
mowers Keclpe ot Sage Tea
- and Sulphur and Nobody
Will Know.
The use of Sage and ' Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked aooear-
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is tnussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi
tion ot other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damDen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youth
ful appearance. It is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease. '

The annual class "scrap" at B'cllc
vue college is to be abolished.
For years there has been the class
"scrap" between the sophomores and
freshmen before Thanksgiving. The
Doane game on the Saturday before
Thanksgiving lias always ended the
football season at Bellevue. On one
of the nights in the week following,
just before Thanksgiving, was staged
the fight. With the introduction of
Thanksgiving football games the last
two or three years the battle has been
postponed until after the holiday, but
it has always been held nevertheless.
Bellevue college students have al
ways maintained that their class fight
was the most picturesque of any in Hie
state. The custom has been "for the
sophomores to put up their flag on a
pole on the campus just after dinner
in the evening. Just on what evening
they intended to put it up was always
kept a secret.
As soon as the freshmen found out
about it they launched a drive against
the sophomores assembled about the
pole. All night long the battle raged,
or until the one side or the other gave
up. One attack after another was di
rected against the defenders: rein
forcements were often brought up,
and strategy was employed to sepa
rate the sophomores from the pole.
The defenders camped about the
pole all night about huge bonfires.
Custom decreed that whichever side
had possession of the flag the next
morning at sunrise or at 7 o'clock
was the winner.
Now it is proposed to abolish the
old custom and Olympics are substi
tuted. The proposed plan is to have an in
door and outdoor meet between t tie
freshmen and the sophomores. Some
of the different events proposed aic
a (UK of war, a class rush, swimming
i races, fifty-yard dashes, wrestling and
I boxing contests and various jumping
i contests.
The logical time for the meet would
be next Friday afternoon and evening.
What lends strength to the new move
' mcnt is that both President Kerr and
Athletic Director licnjamin have put
themselves on record in favor of the
innovation.
His Wife Attacked,
He Shoots Man and
Is Beaten by Crowd
Valentine, Neb.. Dec. During
Arthur Brown's absence from his
farm last night, Charles Ritchie of
Kilgore, a young man, it is alleged,
gained access to Brown's home and
forcibly dragged Mrs. Brown from the
house into a corn crib where he kept
her prisoner for an hour, attacking
her, she said.
Brown upon his return home was
informed by his wife of what oc
curred. He trailed Ritchie to Kilgore
and publicly accused him of the crime.
Ritchie admitted his guilt and
started to run, whereupon Brown shot
him twice. Thinking he had killed
him, Brown approached the prostrate
form and was greeted with pleas for
mercy. The enraged husband was
bending over the man when he was
seized by bystandcra who thinking it
was an attempt to murder, gave
Brown a severe beating. Ritchie's
chances for recovery are even.

This is the story of the Irish Rebellion that history will
show. It is the story that fair-minded men and women
want to know that you want to know now.
The Irish Rebellion was not a mad stab in the dark. It
was not made in Germany. It was planned for a year
before the war. It had one definite purpose.
"If the Irish republic can hold Dublin five
days," reasoned the Irish leaders, "the war's
end will see Ireland free."
The whole purpose of the Rebellion was accomplished
Dublin was held five days. Will Ireland therefore be
free? Were the Irish leaders right or wrong, and why?
Charles Edward Russell tells you, and he
backs his statements up with documents
facts and documents that have never before
