Brown, 59 years old, pleaded guilty to a charge of passing checks on a bank in which he had insufficient funds before Judge Sears, sitting in criminal court, and was sentenced to one to three years in the penitentiary and a fine of $100.

He was trailed to several eastern cities and finally arrested at Louis ville,' Ky., by Special Detective Finn of the Brandcil stores. . The biggest demand for vegetables Omaha housewives have ever- made on local dealers is the result of the canning propaganda started by George Monro of the food conserva tion committee appointed by the G. W.Watties. When orders began to pour in so rapidly fruit and vegetable dealers could not supply the demand an S. O. S; call went out to Mr. Monro. He has now completed arrangements with the Omaha Fruit and Vegetable Growers' association for enormous shipments of fruits and vegetables this week. , "Prices will not be raised on ac count of the great demand," Monro emphasizes. "The great influx of can ning stuff at this reasonable price, is made possible by co-operation of pro ducers and consumers." The canning fever is due to ex tensive press notices and pamphlets issued by the conservation committee and distributed by grocers. Women are urged by Mr. Monro to give up other activities this week especially in favor of canning.
