WOLFE SAYS HIS
BANK HAS MADE
ALL DUE EFFOBT
Thomas Wolfe of David City, ores!
dent of the First National bank of
that town, refers to the action of the
Mate Council of Defense in summon
ing him for inquiry as to his purchase
of Liberty bonds as an action unwar
ranted. It was, says Mr. Wolfe, due
to malicious charges made by gos
sip mongers and irrcsponsibles. He
further says:
"This bank had taken its full alhw
ance of the second issue of the
per cent Liberty bonds amounting to
$19,000, a3 apportioned by the Butler
County Bankers' association, and has
now on hand $13,400. I have person
ally taken $1,100 of the 4 per cent
bonds and subscribed $3,900 more of
the All per cent third issue, and paid
my Red Cross assessment of $100
cheerfully, as well as made other con
tributions. I have done my utmost
to assist farmers and stock raisers
from my own resources to stimulate the
production of food the past year this
may not count as patriotism much
among the accusers and shouters, but
it is as vital to win the war as any
other contribution, and should we
have failure of crops it 'might prove
of the Kreatest importance.
"The undeserved compliment of be-
incr classed with millionaires my na
tive modesty forbids me to accept,
but if these windy natriots can lurnisn
the monev t that extent I might con
tribute enough to the war fund to
male un what these worthies lack
now in contributing. Let them show
up their contributions."
Holders of Seed Corn Must.
Report Weekly to Government
All persons and concerns, whether
erower or dealer, who handle seea
corn in a commercial way, or who
have on hand approximately 50 bush
els or more of seed cornt,or corn in
tended for seed purposes, are required
by the secretary of agriculture, un
der authority conferred upon him by
the food4 production act, to report
each week to the branch office of the
seed-reporting service of their di
vision on forms provided for this
purpose.
lhe reports are to be mailed to
the branch office on or before Wed
nesday of each week; the date is then
tabulated and the summary of this
data mailed from the branch office of
the division on Saturday of the same
week to all who make reports of

Will Simplify Process of
Switching in Omaha Yards
General Manager Jeffers of the
Union Pacific, who has been placed
in charge of the Omaha railroad ter
minals, is expected to complete , his
plansi, soon after his return from the
west.
Tentative plans formulated by Mr.
effers, it is said, -will simplify the
switching, release , considerable mo
tive power and at the same time
speed up service. For instance, in
handling loaded meat cars from the
South Side packing houses the rule
has been in the past for engines of
Omaha-Chicago lines to take the cars,
one, two or, perhaps three at a time,
as delivered to them by the stock
yards' switching crews. These cars
were then held until enough to make
up a train were collected. Under the
new plan, one engine will collect all
the loaded meat cars and take them
into the unified switching yards,
where they will be turned over to a
designated road and sent east with
out any delay.
Doctors Hear Omaha Banker
Explain How War is Financed
. W. W. Head, vice president of the
Omaha National bank, addressed the
Otf-Night club Thursday night at the
Lrnivcrsity club on the subject of
"Financing the War." The Off-Night
club is an organization of doctors.
Mr. Head showed how the wonder
ful increase in the price of commodi
ties made it much harder to finance
the concerns which handle these
commodities. ,
"It takes a vast amount of money
to handle all these commodities from
the time they start from the producer
until Uncle Sam is ready to pay for
them when they are placed on boats
and started for France, or when they
reach the ultimate consumer if they
are for consumption in this country,"
said Mr. Head. He cited several in
teresting instances of the money it re
quires to finance large concerns which
are engaged in filling government
contracts.

Soldier Would Change
' Name of Familiar Song
"Marching Through Germany" as
a substitute for the old, familiar
"Marching Through Georgia" is a
suggestion received by The Bee
from a "soldier," Fort Omaha, who
hopes that this will be done im
mediately throughout the country.
"Soldier" writes the following:
' "Drop from that patriotic air,
called 'Marching Through Georgia,'
the word 'Georgia' and make it
read 'Marching Through Germany.'
Soma composer will set proper
verses to it and let us make a vow
that we 'Will sing it daily until it it
sung in Berlin." (
Western Union Cleared More
Than $5,000,000 During 1917
More than $5,000,000 was cleared
by the Western Union Telegraph
company during the year 1917, in spite
of the increase in wages to em
ployes and the great amount of busi
ness handled at a reduced rate for
the government.
The government business handled
at the regular rates would have netted
the company $7,500,000. At the re
duced rate this business washandled
for $3,000,000, leaving a sum of $4,
500,000 as a practical contribution to
the government.
Increases in wages, special pay
ments to employes, pensions, insur
ance, sickness and accident benefits
cost the company over $6,000,000, but
in spite of this stockholders received
a dividend of 7 per cent or $7,000,000.
Wife, Suing for Divorce,

granted her, but desires the house

The couple were married in Kansas
