MANY COMPLAINTS
AGAINSTG. LEVEY
Women Besiege Welfare Board
to Tell of Operations of
Union Trading Com
pany Proprietor.
Board of public welfare has a rec
ord of 105 complaints against George
Levey, proprietor of the United Trad
ing company, charged in police court
"ith receiving money under false
pretenses
"I have done nothing for two days
I'ut answer women who have called
here to complain against this man,"
-tated Bessie Wilson of the welfare
office.
Miss Wilson stated that Levey car-1
ned 6,000 contracts which called for I
payments of 25 cents per week. The
contracts were from $18.50 to $37.50
each.
"Why, just suppose that these
women, paid on an average of $10
cacti, there would be $60,000 for
Levey. That's what I call making
money fast," added Miss Wilson.
Stopped Making Payments.
Several women told Miss Wilson
that they had paid as much as $25
and $30 and then stopped because the
promised furniture did not appear.
Final decision in Levey's case in
police court will be made Saturday
morning. He is charged with ob
taining money under false pretenses.
The court will endeavor to dispose
of the case so as to allow housewives
who are members of the "savings
club" to get value received for the
money they have invested. Testi
mony has been already introduced,
so that the presence of witnesses will
not be required Saturday morning.
Soldier "Makes Up" With
His Wife; Withdraws Divorce
Corporal David M. larvin, sta
tioned at Camp Cody, and his di
vorced wife, Hazel M. Marvin, Car
pathia apartments, were granted a
decree' setting aside Mrs. Marvin's
decree of divorce by Judge Leslie.
lJSdavils filed by both Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin petitioning that the de
cree be set aside were offered in evi
dence, together with Marvin's love
letters from Camp Cody to his di
vorced wife, in which he addressed
her as "sweetheart" and expressed a
desire to be reunited with his family.
They have two children.
In view of the success of Marvin's
second courtship by mail, Judge Les
lie granted their requests. Previous
to the divorce and before Marvin had
one to camp he was snappy around
the house, seemed "cold and indiffer
ent" and refused to take care of tie
children, according to Mrs. Marvin s
petition for divorce.
Farmers and Dealers v
Go to Traclor School
To familiarize farmers and dealers
with the mysteries of the farm trac
tor was the purpose of a tractor
school of instruction held at the
Omaha offices of the Emerson
Brantingham Implement company
two days this week. Farmers ind
dealers must now be educated to the
point of becoming their own experts
in the handling of the tractor. This
is because the war industries have
commandeered so many of the ex
pert mechanics employed formerly
by the tractor manufacturers tovtour
the country and help farmers out of
tractor difficulties. More than 100
farmers and dealers were in Omaha
during the two days to hear the lec
tures. The tractor school held here
was one of 28 such schools the Emer-son-Brantinghatn
company is hold
ing throughout the country on this
subject.

Any Sickness Leaves Weakness
Even a simple cold strips and' reduces your resistive
powers to allow other sickness. Only food not alcohol or
drugs creates the rich blood which distributes strength to
the body, and the concentrated medicinal food in"
fD
makes the blood rich and stimulates its circulation while its
tonic virtue enlivens the appetite and aids nutrition to -reestablish
youi strength quickly and permanently. ' If you
are rundown, anemic or nervous, by all means get Sootfs
Emulsion, It builds because it is a foodnot a stimulant.
