    FORCED TO LEAVE
HIS ALLIN RUSSIA
0. Woolfson, Who Lived Here
Thirty Years Ago, Reaches
Omaha By Way of
Japan.
Driven from his Russian home by
Russian officers under the Romanoff
czardom, O. Woolfson lias just ar
rived in Omaha after being driven
from place to place in Russia for
two years.
He is a brother of M. L. Woolfson,
the grocer.
Mr. Woolfson arrived in Omaha
Kith hit wife and three daughters.
A son ii somewhere in Russian, but
the father lost him in the confusion.
A married daughter was also left be
hind because in the long period dur
ing which they were hunted the
daughter was unavoidedly separated
from her husband and from the rest
of the family.
When the great war broke out Mr.
Woolfson lived at Latchceva, about
eighteen Russian miles from Riga.
When the Germans came in and be
gan to occupy parti of the town the
Russiani hastily drove all the Jews
from the city, fearing tiie Jews might
furnish information to the Germans.
"We were forced to flee," said Mr.
Woolfson, through an interpreter,
"without taking i thing with us. I
left a store and a stock of goods
valued at $10,000. I left, besides this,
a home valued at $4,000 and outstand
ing notes amounting to some $4,000.
I'rom people who came out of the
town later than we did, we learned
that the town had been destroyed
by fire, probably burned by the Ger
mans. .
"The Russians sent all Jews out of
the towns along the frontier and just
ahead of the wave of Germans as they
rolled in, Thus they kept pushing
us from one Mate to another in a
frightful condition of poverty for two
years. At last I made my way with
what I could keep together of my
family to Japan, and from there sailed
for America. I am glad to be here.
It is good to breathe the air of Amer
ica again."
Mr. Woolfson formerly lived in
Omaha. Thirty years ago he was run
ning rooming house on South
Tenth street. About that time he went
back to Russia and has been there
until now. .
He has now taken up his residence
at 2608 Decatur street.

Try Moore Perjury Cases

tional jurors was drawn by Clerk of

charged with perjury in the John A.
Moore case. Six men were indicted
for perjury in the big damage suit
t year ago in which Moore was given
a verdict of $68,500 against the Union
Pacific railroad. These witnesses are
alleged to have testified that Moore

accident and that the testimony of the
railroad's witnesses was false.

ler of Harvard, Neb., and Dr. G. U.
Wolford of Missouri immediately, one '
July 1 and the other, July 5.

Greatest Hoard of Gold
. ' In History at New York
New York, June 26. The count of
what government officials believe to
be the greatest hoardof gold ever
stored simultaneously in' one place
in the history of the . world, con
sisting of English, French and Amer
ican coins and bullion that have all
gone into the melting pots together,
totaling $765,000,1100, has just been
completed at the United States assay
office here "without a pengy. found
to be missing," it was announced to
day by Edward P. Leech, head of the
settlement committee, now making
the annual inventory and audit of the
office.
' Verne M. Bovie, superintendent of
the office, said bullion now on hand
is more than ten times the normal
average of previous years. The great
est tofal 'prior to the war, he said,
was $80,000,000.
This year's huge total is attributed
to gold imports from the allies to
meet war bills and also to abnormal
local receipts.

Paige Prices Will Be
Advanced on July 15th
On July 15th the list price of every car in the Paige line will be.
very substantially increased with no change whatsoever in
our models.
In order to maintain the well-known standards of Paige quality,
such a step is unavoidable. The market quotations of all raw
materials, accessories and labor have steadily advanced
some commodities to the extent of 300 per cent. ,
Inasmuch as we insist upon using only the best of materials, we
' are left with but one alternative an increased list price te
absorb the increased manufacturing cost. V
As a matter of economic fact, the price of our cars should have
been advanced several months ago. We have chosen to delay
this action, however, until the
even though Paige prices
you can rest assured that our care will continue to offer more
actual dollar for dollar value than any other cars on the, Amer
ican market. ' From a purely comparative standpoint Paige
cars have always been under-priced and they will remain
so no matter how far the commodity prices may advance.
Owing to the scarcity of materials,, our production between now
and July 15th will necessarily be limited. ' We have appor
( tloned this production to Paige dealers throughout the country,'
and they will accept orders until their individual allotments
are exhausted.
As a last thought in regard to this matter of price, please remem
ber that the Paige has long since demonstrated its indepen
dence of all "price fields." American men and women now
' buy a Paige not because of the price tag which is attached
to it but because of its well established reputation as a fine
mechanical product. , . v .
On this basis the Paige will always represent a preferred invest-
ment. Its actual cost in dollars and cents will always be an ,
important, but an altogether secondary consideration.

tBDERUi TIRES
Rugged
Tread
Some tires have tough and thick treads,
others have a heavy and strong carcass.
Only Federal Tires combine splendid tread and
carcass features with Double-Cable-Base Construction. No others
have four strong steel cables built into the base to hold them to the
rim under severest service strains.
Federals therefore are "Extra Service" Tires, and public opinion
says they deserve the name.
