OMAHA ZIONISTS
RAISE $1,700 FOR
PALESTINE HOME
Schmarya Levin of Russian
Duma Tells Jews That They
Are Coming Intc
."V Their Own.
"The Jewish nation once more
lakes its place on the roll of nations.
It is the most dramatic moment in
llie history of Israel. The British
government's declaration of recogni
tion that Palestine is tne national
homeland of the Jewish people
marks the greatest climax in the 2,
000 years of the dispersion of. Israel
For 2,000 years the Jews were of all
nations, yet were counted as none.
We now stand at the turning point
in the world history of a people.
Their future lies in our hands."
So spoke Schmarya A. Levin, Zion
ist leader and the first Jew to serve
in the Russian duma, in a powerful
appeal to local Jews to help inthe
rehabilitation of Palestine, made be
fore an audience of 500 in the Swed
ish auditorium Tuesday night.
Contributions amounting to $1,700
were made to the restoration fund.
Dr. Philip Slier pledged himself to
give 10 per cent of the total col-
lected -in Omaha. Five thousand
. dollars is Omaha's quota of the $3,
f 000,000 emergency fund.
"Poland will be free, Belgium,
Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, and
even the smallest unit of government
in all the Russias, if its national de
velopment demands it, after this
war, the speaker prophesied. "It
will not come about because Ger
many or the Allies wish it a power
higher than that, the world's devel
opment which is now at the stage
of the collective unit, not the individ
ual's importance, will determine that
settlement. Universal brotherhood
is an abstract ideal but nationalities
are concrete. We legislate against
a single murder, yet we permit mur
der by the wholesale in this war.
lAnd it will continue so long as one
nation exercises sovereignty over an
other," he declared.
"The orient is about to wake. We
must seize the opportunity to infuse
new life into Palestine, to colonize.
restore institutions and industries de
stroyed by the ravages of war.
We must work and earn the land,
the right to hold which is now recog-
nized by the British government. To
accept the declaration as though it
were a gift would be folly," hhe em
phasized. Henry Monsky presided and Rabbi
Morris Taxon also spoke. "America"
and the Jewish national hymn, "Hati
kwoh," were sung.

Jerry Howard at Last is i
Full-Fledged Candidate
At last Jerry Howard has 500 signa
mres to his petition, which makes him
a full-fledged candidate for the city
commission of Omaha. He has about
five times as many signatures as re
quired. Ten days ago he appeared at
the office of the election commis
sioner to file his petition. It was found
then that he had only women' sign-
ers. His attention was called to the
fact that women are not voters and
P therefore their names are of no value
on a petition.
"They . ;ked me what women I had
on 'the petition," said Jerry, "and I
told them I had scrubwomen and club
women, and now that Ihave 500 men
on the new petition I can say again
I have scrubmen and clubmen, for I
have bankers, dishwashers, waiters,
barbers, tailors, butchers and corpo
ration presidents." Jerry has paid his
filing fee and is carrying the receipt
in his vest pocket.
Ofouglas County Farmer Says
Elk City Man is Corn Champ
That Douglas county farmers raise
the best corn in the state is the as
sertion of J. W. Shumaker, and he
offers as evidence to prove his con
tention a championship ear of corn
;rown on the farm of M. B. Turner
near Elk City.
Shumaker brought the ear of corn
xnto The Bee office to refute the
claims of Burt and Richardson coun-
ties ,that the championship corn of the
state grows in their baliwick.
The ear of corn Mr. Shumaker ex
' M Kibited' contains 30 rows with 57 ker-
nels in each row. The best Burt
county had to offer was' an ear con
taining 30 rows with 52 kernels to the
row and Richardson's prize winner
had 26 rows with 50 kernels to the
row. - '

TUCMMAN STORE
RECEIVES COAT
OF YELUJW PAINT
"Liberty Six" Visits Local Gro
cer During Night, Declaring
Early Closing Law Was
Not Observed.
"We are the 'Liberty Six.' We
have just bought nine barrels of
yellow paint, and we are going to
paint the fronts of all the stores
that do not comply with the fuel
administrator's request to close at
6 o'clock. We may have flat
feet but we can paint for Uncle
Sam."
Claiming the above as their "creed"
and alleging that Tuchman Bros.'
grocery and meat market, Twenty-
fourth and Lake streets, was not
closed at 6 o'clock last night, mem
bers of the Liberty Six daubed the
store front with yellow paint.
A few minutes before 11 o'clock
The Bee was notified by telephone
that the store front had been painted
yellow. The person who gave the
information said he was president of
the Liberty Six, and that it was their
intention to paint the front of every
store in Omaha that refused to com
ply with the order to close early and
conserve coal.
"Uncle Sam needs the coal to win
this war," the informant said, "and
if any person is not patriotic enougn
to obey the order we will make it our
business to see that his place of bus
iness receives a visit from us. and we
will leave our card on the windows.
Frank Tuchman, 2770 Webster
street, one of the brothers interested
in the business, emphatically denied
the charge that they had neglected
to close at 6 o'clock.
Mr. Tuchman expressed surprise
when he learned that the daubing was
the work of an organized gang. At
first he thought it was the antics of
mischevious boys who reside in that
neighborhood.
A reward of $25 is offered by the
firm for any information that will
lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.

FOOD CONTROL AIDS
BREADCONSUMERS
Standard Loaf Now Sells at 9
Cents, or One-Fourth Less
Than It Did a Year Ago ;
Profits Wiped Out.
In the face of a shortage of wheat
in the world's supply, the consumer
is buying bread at less than he did be
fore the war, according to informa
tion from the Federal Food Admin
istration to State Administrator Wat
tles. For wheat in the present standard
loaf, selling at 9 cents, the consumer
pays practically one fourth less than
he did a year ago for a loaf of uncer
tain weight. The farmer who pro
duces the wheat gets about halt as
much again as he did. Speculative
profits have been wiped out and ex
cessive cost of distribution has been
pared down. The consumer and the
producer are the direct beneficiaries.
Cheaper oread lias been made a
reality," said Mr. Wattles. "With
standardization of the loaf it has been
possible to eliminate many wasteful
practices forced on the trade by lux
urious demands of the public. On a
war footing there is no cause for in
dulgence in fancy breads, extravagant
variety or extravagant distribution.
"It is said that bread is' sold in
England for less than in the United
States. That is true, but it not the
same quality of flour, since the Eng
lish flour uses more of the wheat ker
nel and British war bread includes
othet cereals and potatoes.
"A larger difference comes from
the fact that the British government
deliberately sells flour at a loss, sub
sidizing consumption to the extent
of $200,000,000 to hold down the price
of bread artificially, the loss to be
made up through taxation."

"Over
There"'
When docs ' the "whittle
blow" for the boys in the
tranche? I
There's a magnificent lesson in unselfishness and
whole-hearted patriotism being written into the new edi
tion of American History, bound in khaki.
It's a lesson that labor can profitably peruse and
one that capital must heed. ..
It's the lesson of PERSONAL SACRIFICE FOR THE
GOOD OF HUMANITY.
When we ponder over the fact that these boys of ours
never stopped to figure on "what there was in it" when
the call came for help when we figure they never ask
"what are the hours" and never hear the whistle tjhat
means "lay off work" -our petty quarrels become a re
proach to us.
While we are quarreling over how much work should
be given for so much money how many hours constitute
a day's work those valiant lads are giving their every
minute, their all even their lives for thirty dollars a
month AND THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF A DUTY
NOBLY PERFORMED.
Because of their sacrifice 'we stay-at-homes are get
ting steady work at better wages than ever before in the
history of America and .the very least we can do is to
give the best that is in us now, and ever after, regardless
of our occupation, profession, wage or earnings.
Let's learn to deal fairly and squarely with each oth
er NOW so when the boys come "marching back" we
will be ready to take up the great work of rebuilding and
rearranging our domestic affairs, and help to regain, so
far as possible, what they sacrificed hen they went
away.
It shall be both my duty and my pleasure to do my part in my
profession, and I pledge my word that excess value is returned in
durable, artistic, guaranteed dentistry for every dollar paid by my
patients. .
If it ever becomes necessary for me to raise my prices in order
to keep up the high standard of workmanship and material I will
certainly raise them.
Just how I am not forced to do this but I wish to emphasize
ihe- fact that it is the QUALITY OP DENTISTRY NOT THE
- PRICE that comes first here.
