SAFETY FIRST
The man who coined the slo in, "SAFETY FIRST," was a
irenius, so was the late H. M. FLAGLER, pioneer of the FLORIDA
EAST COAST RAILROAD. After the terrible freeze in Florida
in 189B he sent his associate, MR. J. E. INGRAHAM, on a tour
south from ST. AUGUSTINE to find, if possible, a part of FLOR
IDA unaffected by the freeze, as the rest of the state was then as
barren as Vermont in February. Mr. Ingraham found PALM
BEACH COUNTY irreen, luxuriant and beautiful. Citrus trees
were not injured, even the fruit was uninjured. Since that time
FLAGLER and his associates have poured millions into the
"SAFETY FIRST" county of FLORIDA. Be a wise old owl and
follow SUCCESS for SAFETY.
Mr. Farmer, While You Are In Omaha Call and See Us
It Will Profit You.
Your success will be in our lands. Twenty acres of our best
Truck and Citrus Fruit lands will produce more net profit than 200
acres here in the north. "FIGURE COST," 200 acres, $40,000; 20
acres of the best Muck Land we own, $3,000, on easy term a.
Fewer farm implements to buy, 365 growing days each year. Fin
est climate on the American continent Why rent farms? If you
have a moderate capital you can be positively independent in a few
years, close to town, good roads, schools, churches, banks and
packing houses. The thirteenth biennial report of the Department
of agriculture states that the highest production in Florida is from
Palm Beach County lands.

Prepare in Peace
For Time of War,
Pleads Dr, Connell
Dr. Karl Connell of the surgical
staff nf Roosevelt hospital in New
York City and a son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Council of Omaha, who served
with the Aimrican ambulance corps in
Paris for several months and who
later had an opportunity to observe
the mclical and surgical work back
of the German lines, is quoted by Aus
tin Cunninghim in the feature story of
the December Red Cross Magazine.
Dr. Connell warns America to "for
tify itself in time of peace for the
overwhelming task of caring for prob
able war victims in the future, against
that always possible day when they
American men and boys as objects
for tender ministrations may be num
bered by hundreds of thousands.
"War falls like a wet blanket, ex
tinguishing the fires of industrial ac
tivity in a nation. " ' Uulcss one
has undertaken to organize and equip
under the strain of war conditions
even a small (medical) unit, one can
have no conception of the paralysis
of production and shortage of sup
plies, the difficulties of purchase and
oi transportation under war condi
tions. As a most important
lesson of the present Kuropean war,
we should organize and equip in time
of peace a series of civilian forward
base hospitals. The actual
surgery of the war must be done by
the efficient civilian organizations of
peace, namely, the trained staffs of
our existing hospitals. 1
am pleading the cause of our own
country."

Thomas Fry, 2024 Binney street,

taken.
SENSATIONAL DROP
IN GRAIN PRICES
Peace Talk Pounds Down Both
the Cash and futures Prices
On Looal Exchange.
OMAHA MEN MAKE MONEY
Continued peace talk pulled the
props from under wheat prices, and
inside of an hour after the opening
of the market there was the most
sensational decline that has been
seen in years. Cash wheat sold off
6 to 8 cents per bushel; the Decem
ber option, 94 cents from the high of
Thursday; the May. 12 cents, and the
Julv 9 cent per bushel.
On the floor of the Omaha Gram
exchange, traders all during the srs
sion, were letting go of their grain,
anticipating another decline Satur
day, and, on the whole, the sales
were about the heaviest of the
month. It is said they aggregated
close to 2.000.000 bushels.
With practically all of the Omaha
grain men, it is asserted that the de
cline was k money maker. They had
nearly all been long on wheat bought
at prices much higher than those
marked up on the board, but during
the early part of the week, when the
peace talk started, they scented a big
drop in prices and comtrienced to sell
short against their actual holdings. As
the market continued to drop they
continued to let go of larger lots of
future wheat, and when the clean-up
came at the close of the sensational
market, most of them found them
selves far ahead of the game. .
Hits the Futures.
The decline was not confined to the
wheat of any one month, though the
futures were harder hit than the cash.
For instance, while cash wheat was
ft to 8 cents off, May wheat that closed
at 5S1.0OV, Thursday, opened at $!..'
and sold down to $1.5.) '4; July, that
closed Thi'rsday at S1.42M. opened at
$1.39 and sold as low as $1.31 h per
bushel.
The greater portion of the decline
in wheat came inside of the first hour
of the trading period. Prices went
off Vi to li of a cent between quota
tions, and kept going until the bottom
was reached. Then there was a reac
tion of between 2 and 4 cents, after
which prices again sagged off, going
pretty well down toward the lowest
level of the day.
Omaha wheat receipts for the day
were thirty-five carloads and prices
ruled at $I.S4 and $1.57 per bushel.
Corn followed wheat to some ex
tent in the drop, yet the decline was
nowhere near so pronounced, it going
off Yi to 2 cents, and selling at 84'
and RS'A cents per b'ishel. Receipts
were fifty-nine carloads and a uoodly
portion of everything offered was
taken by feeders and buyers from the
south.
Oats were bumped 1 to I'A cents
and went down to 48 and 49 cents per
bushel, the low level of the year.
There was a good demand for them,
but generally holders were not in
clined to sell at the ruling prices. Re
ceipts were twenty-two carloads.
Big Drop at Chicago.
Chicago, III., Dec. 15. Wheat
crashed down in value today on ac
count ef peace reports. First sales
showed a fall in some cases, of 8Vb
cents a bushel, Mav wheat touching
$1.58. as against $1.66 to $l.bb-ft at
yesterday's finish.
Prices varied as mnch as S cents
at the same instant in different parts
of the pit. The opening range for
Mav, the chief trading option, spread
all the way from $1.58 to $1.63. Waves
of selling accompanied the exciting
break in values.
The decline at the outset this morn
ing in wheat carried prices down
about 18 cents a bushel since the first
peace offer cae from Berlin.
After the opening still lower prices
were reached, the extreme being
$1.57 for May. Then the pressure
became relatively exhausted and
houses that of late have been free
sellers took to the buying side. Ral
lies, however, were not well main
tained. Within an hour, losses had been
widened to 0H cents a bushel. May
wheat tumbled to $1.56 on the clos
ing out of account in which margins
had been swallowed up completely
As compared with prices a month ago,
the market at this stage was down
more than 45 cents a bushel in the
December delivery.
Uncle Sam Wants
.Every Boy and Girl
To Have Toothbrush
Uncle Sain recommends a tooth
brush in the Christmas stocking of
every boy and girl.
In a letter to Health Commissioner
Connell the , United States Health
bureau writes: "There is a direct
relationship between dental develop
ment and mental development, and it
is absolutely essential to good work
in schools that children's teeth be
maintained in a healthy condition.
The public health service recom
mends that a good tooth brush he
included in the list of Christmas
presents for every American child and
that its use be made a part of the
daily training."

OMAHA TOO GAY FOR
FARM TOOLDEALERS
Midwest Implement Men Too
Busy Having Good Time to
Attend Convention.
GALLAGHER IS RE-ELECTED
Ilecause Omaha offers so much at
tractive entertainment that many
members who come here for the con
ventions never even sec the inside of
the convention hall, and out of a
membership of over 700 attendance at
sessions averages about thirty as a
result, the Mid-West Implement
Dealers' association almost scratched
Omaha off its list at the final session
of the eighth annual convention at
the Hotel Rome this morning.
A resolution was introduced that
the manufacturers and jobbers should
close their exhibits during convention
hours and that they themselves would
attend the sessions or the next Mid
West convention should be held in
some other city than Omaha. Omaha
was saved, however, when a substi
tute motion giving the Gate City a
fifty-fifty was passed over the orig
inal resolution.
Lincoln was the town suggested as
Omaha's successor, because it is be
lieved Lincoln has no attractions
which will keep the delegates away
from the convention sessions.

subject dwelt upon by A. E. Hilde

Farmer. George VV. Collins of Bell

Ownership of the Implement Busi
ness." deploring existing conditions
in some states where convict labor
competes with honest labor in the)
manufacture of farm toots.
VV. S. Thomas of Springfield,
told "How the Federal Reserve Ranks

they give the farmer a chance to bor
row money with which to pay for hi
farm machinery instead of standing
the dealer off on his payments.
Germans Spring New
Wrinkle in the Tax
Dodging Game
(r.rrspfn4nnc of Th. Ajomclmt.d Proas.)
Frankford-on-the-Main, Germany,
Oct. 31. Beating the government out
of taxes hy the more or less simple
process of changing the character of
one's business from a limited liabil
ity corporation to a partnership and
back again as tax day approaches
is the latest wrinkle in tax dodging.
One firm in Meuhlheim-on-the-Main,
the owner of which is a resi
dent of Frankfort, has pursued the
plan so successfully that he is alleged
to have cheated the government
legally out of between two and three
million marks since the beginning of
the war.
To prevent him from further evad
ing taxes the mayor of Muclheim has
petitioned the Hessian legislature to
enact sonic emergency legislation
which shall prevent him from again
altering the character of his business
and escaping once more with his war
profits intact.
The man in question owns a plant
that originally made steel screws,
and that with the beginning of the War
was commissioned by the government
to repair broken parts of guns and
cannons. At the end of June, 1915,
the firm, then a corporation, had made
a net profit of 3,500,000 marks.
On the basis of these profits, the
firm was assessed for a total of 337,
000 marks on its prospective business
between April 1 and March 31, 1917.
To evade this payment the proprietor
liquidated his business, had himself
appointed as receiver and blossomed
out as a partnership. Ry this time the
authorities discovered this, and also
found that the old firm against which
prospective taxes had been assessed
was no longer existent, the profits
had increased, it is estimated, lo some
thing like eight or ten million marks.
Now there is in prospect the possibil
ity that the partnership will be dis
solved in a timely way so that again
there will be no firm to levy against.
In his petition to the Hessian legis
lature the mayor of Muclheim bitterly
condemns the practice of a successful
business firm of dodging taxes at a
time when they are so necessary, and
at a time when those less able to pay
are nevertheless obliged to bear in
creased burdens. By coincidence there
is no existing law to prevent the
teration of the partnershfp to some
other kind of a business. Hence the
appeal of the mayor for an emergency
law.
Bruce Has Sewer Plan
For the Entire City
City Engineer Bruce is preparing a
comprehensive plan for an adequate
sewer system for Greater Omaha. It
is estimated that the proposed system
would cost between $2,000,000 and $2.
500.000. but even at that figure it is
said it would be cheaper in the end
than building a system without defin
ite plan. It would not be necessary to
build this system at once, the plan
being something to work to and con
templating future development, the
engineer explained.
The rapid growth of Omaha's area
has long since gone beyond its sewer
efficiency. The plan being drawn by
Mr. Bruce will be used in connection
with the City Planning commission's
proposed general city plan.
