WONDERFUL DEMAND for FREE DINNER SETS The Christmas Gift at the Palace Taxes the Capacity of the Store in Taking Care of Their Patrons. The announcement last week that The Palace Clothing Com pany, 14th and Douglas streets, made that they would give away complete china dinner sets to their natrons, called forth a remarkable demonstration of. the popularity of this progressive clothing house. Of the oUu sets, not one was left at the end of the week, but thi is not surprising when you consider that the sets were such that would be welcomed in any house in Omaha. By wiring and paying a premium The Palace managed to secure a large shipment of sets in an even more attractive decoration and they invite their friends to call in and inspect this china and see for themselves what a splendid gift it is. There are no strinsrs to the Palace gift A complete set is given araolutely free to every pur chaser of a $15 Suit or Overcoat, and just at this time when every one is wondering what to give for Christmas, this offer is double wel come. The Palace prides themselves on giving the greatest value in Suits and Overcoats at $15 to be found in town, and the tremendous stock carried gives a variety of style, color ana material that makes se lection a pleasure. We venture the prediction that The Palace will be a mighty busy place this week. STOCKMEN SEEK TO CUT OFF WASTE Series of Informal Hearings is Held in Connection with Farm Market Meeting. MILKMEN FEDERATE, TOO Chicaco. Dec. 6. A series of in- formal hearings were held here today in tumictiioii wmi ine iuurm na tional conference on marketing and farm credits to collect evidence con cerning the condition of the live stock industry in the United States. speakers asserted that great changes are under way in the indus try and that the producers and feed ers of cattle have failed to organize themselves effectively to meet the changed conditions at purchasing cen ters and an economic waste has re sulted. Much of the discussion cen tered on possible solutions of the problem offered by the decline in the nation s meat supply. Uwieht li. Heard of Phoenix, Ariz., president of1 the American Live Stock association, ! assured the delegates of the co-opera-i tion ot his organization in their in-1 vestigations. I On the program were Ed C.

Campbell, Coldwatcr, Mich., president of the National Fed eration of Milk Producers of Amer ica, organized last night, said todav that state and local organization will be started at once and a national headquarters will be established for handling the work for the new organ ization, which plans co-operative marketing of milk throughout the United States. Milk has ceased to be a bv-oroduct of the livu stock industry," said Prof. rred Kasmussen ot Pennsv vania State college, "because of the ad- vanved prices of cattle and land ad ding to the cost of milk production.
