WHAT IF SOLD BY POUND?
"Don't lay the high cost ot eggs to ,
the roultry man, but instead put it on .
irit. hn " cave 5 p Munann. nresi- I
I'enl ot the Omaha Poultry associa
ihhi v im takes issue with Omaha
housewives for declaring a boycott on
fRi?s "The hens are responsible (or
the Inirh cost of eKUs." he said. "They
are laving larger and better eggs right ;
along and naturally these eggs are
worth more money.
'Some years ago a dozen eggs
would not weigh over twenty-four
ounces: now the average dozen
v e gh thirty ounces or upward."
Egjs Prove Stable.
If Omaha housewives purchased
their eggs by weight." said Mr. Mun
son, 'they would easily see that eggs
have not advanced in' price near as
rapidly as other foods."
While Mr. Munson was careful not
to make any threats against the
housewives. He asserted that if the
boycott becomes very effective and
long-lasting, many members of his
association will sell their chickens.
"1 lien Omaha housewives would
really have to pay high prices for
strictly I rr sh eggs," he added.
He said members of the organiza
tion would probably organize closer
to protect themselves against the
boycott.
"A tie up in the egg purchasing
of Omaha housewives would seriously
affeci ns," said Mr. Munson. "and
cause many poultry raisers to go out
of business. While we do not think
the boycott is directly aimed at us,
we will he the ones to suffer, instead
of the commission and cold storage
houses."
' Chickeni 8carce.
Other reasons advanced by Mr.
Munson for the increased cost of eggs
were that farmers had raised very few
chickens as they found it more profit
able to sell the feed and that there
was very little demand for chickens,
because of prevailing high prices.
"Fresh eggs are scarce enough
now," added Mr. Munson, "but if the
boycott becomes very affective, and
all our members tell their chickens
there will not be enough fresh eggs
on hand in the spring for hatching.
.The result would be disastrous for
the poultry raisers."
Not in Favor of Forcing
; - Suffrage on the States
Jay William Hudson, professor in
the University of Missouri, who lec
tured Friday afternoon at the Fon
tenelle before the Society of Fine
Arts was cornered after the lecture
by a group of suffragists, among
1 whom were Mrs. J. M. Metcalf and
Mrs. C. E, Johannes, who asked him
as to his views on suffrage. The
women threw up their hands in hor
ror when he said he was not In favor
of the federal amendment, as he did
not believe in forcing it on some of
the states, especially those of the
south, , ...
"The idea that women will lose any
of their 'refinement by the. vote, is ab
surd," said Dr. Hudson. "The fact
that my daughter accompanies me to
the polls, where I spend a half hour
out of every year, does not mean that
she will be any the less womanly be
cause of it."
Prof. Hudson's lecture dealt with
"Social Unrest and Its Ethical Sir
nificance"and was conceded to be by
tar the best so far on the year s pro
gram, in spite of the fact that Mr.
Hudson professed no knowledge of
lecturing as well as' art.1 'Hrs'hippv
relationship with his audience and his
strong optimism won him instantane
ous tavor.
The favorite solution for social un
rest, namely that it is due to imper
fect political machinery and distress,
ng economic conditions, did not inv
press Dr. Hudson, who said that
never in the history of civilization
have political and economic condi
tions been belter and that it was ridic
ulous, since it could not account for
the apparent unreat in every branch

dress last evening to members of the
Nebraska legislature, Herbert Quick
ot tne federal farm Loan board said

I do your part toward giving the farm

GRAY-HAIRED BANDIT
STOPS YOUNG woman!
Miss Either Daniels Stopped I
by Footpad, Who Over- ,
looks Her Purse,
TWO SUSPECTS IDENTIFIED
To an aged, white-haired bandit,
whose voice quavered when he spoke
and whose hands trembled and knees
quaked as he worked, last night fell
the lot of adding to Omaha's long list
of recent holdups, one a trifle out of
the ordinary.
As Miss Esther Daniels. 16 years of
age, neared her home at 2721 Bristol
street, after her day's work at the
Midwest Electric company, she was
stopped by the enfeebled footpad.
"Hands up," he said weakly, and
when Miss Daniels complied with the
request he frisked her two coat pock
ets with unsteady hands, He obtained
nothing and the girt was permitted to
proceed.
In her hand bag which she held
high in the air with one hand was her
purse, which contained several dollars
in change.
. Holdups continued in Council
Bluffs last nigh;. One man. W. T.
Johnson, was slugged and robbed
while unconscious. Three Omaha
men whose names were not given to
the police were robbed at the east end
of the Douglas street bridge. They
were returning to Omaha in automo
biles. One man lost $50 and his
watch. His wife fainted from the
shock and after be left the to'' house,
he sought a physician for her.

gan and M. Courtney members of the

By unanimous vote the body placed
on the unfair list a job at the Young
Men's Christian association, which, it
was charged, is in the hands of a con
tractor who has employed decorators
from Waterloo, la., for certain work.
This is held to be unfair to local
decorators.
School janitors and engineers have
begun a movement to be placed on the
civil service basis and also to bring
about legislative action which will
permit them to organise a pension as
sociation auch as that formed by
school teachers. The movement was

laney were endorsed for the positions
of factory inspector.

association turned late today to the
proposed increase in grazing fees on

increased fees, and the resolutions

testing sharply against the increase.
This resolution declared that per
mittess already are paying full value
for the grazing privileges they hold;
that the fees paid are one-third
greater than the cost of administer

advance in fees is a "complete re
versal of policy, which we very
much deplore," and that, in the be
lief of the committee, the reasons ad
vanced for the proposed raise are in

vigorously and unanimously protest
against any raise in the fees now

Joe Baughman's Speed Lands
Juan Garcia Behind Bars
All world's records for long dis
tance sprints were shattered, an un
derstudy of Pancho Villa was landed
in jail, three women were frightened
half to death and a South Side police
officer distinguished himself as the
result of, an unfilmed rickity-de-bang
chase on Twenty-fourth street early
last night.
it happened when Mrs. James Som
mers, who lives in the Stoecker apart
ments, 823 South Twenty-fourth
street, and her woman companion dis
covered at Twenty-fourth and Far
nam streets that Pancho II was on
their trail. Both women immediately
broke into a run as did the Mexican,
and they might all be in flight yet if
it hadn't been for the appearance of
Officer Joe Baughman.
Ilaughman, who was on his way to
the central station, took up the chase
and was hot on the Mexican's heels
when the two women reached their
apartment. He followed Pancho into
a basement apartment occupied by
Mrs. Charles Mack and there over
powered him after a brief but pitched
battle.
At police headquarters the Mexican
gave the name of Juan Garcia.
Easy to Keep All
Teeth Pearly White
tt will b foand qulu MKT to kep th
teeth white, ehlnlns and frM from din
coloration tr brushing tbra dally with
avatol. This la much more aatlafaetory
than the unual tooth powdera and oreama.
Not only because avatol la free from
menla which might Injure the enamel or
cauae the Hums to shrink, but beeauaa It
will really clean the teetb. removlnt even
the moat obstinate stains and deposits.
The reason so many teeth are never
thoroughly clean, no matter how much
they are brushed and scrubbed, Is the
presence of transparent Blma, or "placques,"
so called, which adhere to the tooth sur
face, and which become dlsoolored by dirt,
decayed food, nicotine or .other thtnss.
Those Alms are really thin layers of fat
which accounts for that slippery feeling
when touched with the tongue and ordi
nary dontlfriees do not penetrate them.
They are completely and quickly dissolved
by the avatol, however, and the trouble
will not reappear If this remarkable sub
stance Is used regularly just aa a tooth
paste Is used. Being antiseptic and ant
acid. It keeps teeth, gums and raeulh In a
hygienic condition, and there Is no sorer
preventive of stains, tartar, decay, sore
ness or sponginess of the gums. Druggists

Had to Consult Map.
"As far as I know." Mr. Thomas
said, "the special train agent of the
Burlington had to look up on the map
to locate Sheridan county when he
was asked the possible price of a spe-
cial train. After this week's events I
think there will be little misunder-,
standing as to where we farmers
come from. We are here for the ex
press purpose to make it known to
the world that we are "feeling good"
and we grasp that you are feeling the
same way. We hope that the same
close affiliations will exist between
the shppers of our county and the
local yards that has in the past."
Toastmaster McCulloch compli
mented Sheridan county on the beau
tiful women they had with them say
ing that "the greatest product any
section of country can raise is fine
women and children."

interest yesterday. It concerns the
marriage of Carl Smith of Rushville,
one of the "Sheridan Booster Spe

worth at Lincoln the first day of the
excursionists' stay at the Capital City.

Crowder said yesterday. "The day
before we left he kind of nosed up to
me and sidled around for a little
while finally asking for a loan."
" 'How much do you want' says I."
"Oh, about seventy-five dollars."
"Well, here's a hundred for good
luck," the pioneer officer said, and
wrote him a check for that amount
"And the best part of it is as soon as
them two got into Lincoln they went
off and got married. I knew about it
right away but I didn't squeal."
Smith is a merchant in Rushville.
Charged With Gambling.
