southwest of Allinace, worth in the
neighborhood of $70,000.
In a case in the federal court for
the district of Nebraska, Judge Wade
held that the land claimed by Eldred
belonged to the government and was
subject to homestead entry. At the
trial it came out in testimony that
the land was enclosed by a fence and
that it was occupied by Eldred as a
pasture. Eldred contended that the
tract had been purchased in small par
cels from homesteaders. The govern
ment charged conspiracy in the mat
ter of securing title.

56 against and 50 for the plan. At
the last meeting a small proportion
were for( it, while a large majority
were against the idea. An organiza

urs OING TO MARKET" may seem a revival of an old-fashioned mode, but really it is the
MODERN, EFFICIENT and ECONOMICAL METHOD.
' Going to market brings the merchant into close touch with complete and varied lines of
needed and desirable merchandise that could never be spread out for inspection in his own home
town.
Going to market means more than inspecting and comparing merchandise . lines. - It means an.
EXCHANGE OF IDEAS. And ideas are the stuff that merchandising success is made of.
Going to market is not "all work and no play "-when OMAHA is YOUR MARKET TOWN.
And this is why: EVERY EVENING RESERVED FOR AJOLLY GOOD TIME.
A cordial invitation is extended not only to YOU, the merchant, but also to the good wife and
family as well. ' Omaha welcomes all of you-so come please. You will be more than repaid
and you will return home re-enthused and revitalized for meeting the many problems of every
day business. f- .

"New York alone, of all the auto

"Omaha is way ahead of Detroit

enthusiastic over the patriotism
shown in the conduct of the show.
"Dealers in Omaha territory are
showing great interest in the show.
They are coming early and in greater
numbers than on previous years. The
cheaper cars do not seem to attract
dealers and prospective purchasers as

cars are in demand and the majority

OMAHA DEALERS
ASKED TO HOLD
SUPPLY OF CORN
Omaha Gram exchange is m re
ceipt of a communication from Food
Administrator Hoover requesting that
during the next three weeks all mem
bers of the local exchange desist from
selling corn tor shipments to domes
tic points.
Mr. Hoover, calls attention to scarc
ity of food supplies in the allied coun
tries of Europe, adding that in order
to win the war the soldiers there and
the people generally must be supplied
with provisions if the war is to be
won.
In making his request that the corn
coming to the Omaha market be held
for export Mr. Hoover asserts that
similar requests have been made of
the members of other grain exchanges
and boards of trade throughout the
country.
It is suggested that all corn in stor
age at this time be run through dry
ers and as quickly as possible be put
into condition so that it can be sent
abroad.
So far as the members of the Omaha
Grain exchange are concerned prac
tically all of them stand ready to com
ply with the request of Mr. Hoover,
aiding in every way possible to get
every available bushel of corn to Eu
rope as rapidly as trains can carry it
to the seaboard and ships can trans
port it across the ocean.

Wonderful Healing of Ruptur
How New Jersey Man Got Rid of
a Severe, Obstinate, Right In
guinal Hernia Without the Slight
est Trouble.
Below is a picture of Eugene M.
Pullen, a well-known carpenter of
Manasquan, New Jersey. If you could
see him at his work, particularly when
he handles heavy timber, jumps and
climbs around like a youth, you would
scarcely imagine that he had former
ly been afflicted with a rupture.
Ruptured in Right Side.
At an early age, Eugene Pullen
m 1 a v
was an express driver, ne nanaiea
railroad baggage. One day after de
livering a heavy trunk on an upper
floor he felt a pain in the right groin.
The suffering increased and it was
not long before the young .man notic
ed the swelling.
the doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All
Burgeons know that hernia operations
with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it
is a well established fact that many
rupture operations are not success
ful; the bowel soon breaks through
the sewed-up opening and protrudes
worse than ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others, Mr. Pullen de
clined to take the risks of an opera
tion; the expense and loss of time
had to be considered, too. Hoping he
might get a little better encourage
ment, he went to another physician,
who, to his sorrow, gave him even
less hope. It was pointed out to the
young man that unless the rupture
were perfectly held all the time or the
surgeon 3 knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling
in the rupture with further compli
cations, or the dreaded strangulated
hernia, which kills so many ruptured
people.
Victim of Trusses.
The victim bought a truss, a hard.
spring-like affair, the best he -could
get. . It tortured him. He tried an
other still no relief. He was compel
led to give up his express business.
The hard tasks of ordinary men were
forbidden him. He became an 'insur
ance agent, in which position he did
not need to do bodily work.
For six years Mr. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
elastic, etc., witn never any content
ment. One day his mother told him
something she had just found out. It
was a simple and easy thing for him
to do. tie lost no time.
Discarded His Trust.
Relief came at once : he almost for
got that he had any rupture. After
ward came a cure a complete heal
ing and, although years have passed
and Mr. Pullen is an energetic car
penter, working on buildings, climb
ing over roofs, lifting lumber and
such like, he is absolutely free from
the old hernia. He knows he is com
pletely, lastingly cured. There was
no operation, no lost time, no trou
ble comfort and contentment from
the very outset. He is a strong, cheerful-minded
man.
Valuable Information Free.
The valuable information which
Mrs. Pullen read in a newspaper
many years ago and gave to her son,

side and what you have already done
