(general rejoicing among democrats

suggest that you extend similar in

Mississippi. Senator Williarrs has so
distinguished himself as the out
spoken champion of Americanism and
me supporter of the president, and
lis speeches have been so generally
read in Nebraska that I am confident
democrats would be glad to have you

Report That 5,000 Loaves
Of Breed Fed to (he Hogs
Attention of the food administra
tion has been brought to the report
that the Jay Burns Baking company
of Omaha had turned 5,000 loaves of
bread over to a man named Mc
Carthy, living at Bellevue, to be fed
to the latter's hogs.
Information as to the truth of the
report was sought by a reporter of
The Bee, but Mr, Burns could not be
found. . . , '
An employe of the bakery, who
seemed to be in a position of au
thority, denied there was that much
bread spoiled in the baking in
years.
"I know that we have not had 5,000
loaves of bad baking, said he.
"How much bread was there
turned over to the hog feeder," he
was asked.
"You will have to get your answer
from Mr. Burns." was 'the reply.
Under conservation of food rulings
all bread is supposed to be used for
human consumption if at all fit,' as
there is an alarming scarcity of flour
in the country at present.

Natives of Kansas City
Want to Buy Omaha's Tank
Omaha Rotarians held the center
of the stage of the national Rotarian
convention at Kansas City this week,
says Arthur Thomas, who has re
turned from the convention.
The bg tank used here in the last
Liberty bond drive and borrowed by
the Kotarians for the . Kansas City
convention put all other exhibits "in
the shade." All the Kansas City ca
pers had pictures of it and the natives
there are now negotiating to buy it
and keep it there. A tractor brought
from Peoria, and with a small super
structure on it, failed to get much at
tention, in comparison to the much
bigger and more businesslike tank
from the Gus Renze factory.

CHAPTER XXVII.
Twas a Labor of Love.
There had been, originally, a per
fectly definite route for the Rev. Har
ry Lauder, M. P., Tour as definite a
route as is mapped out for me when
I am touring the United States. Our
route had called for a fairly steady
progress from Vimy Ridge to Per

mans in the retreat of the spring of
1917. But we made many sidj trips
and gave many and many an un
planned, extemporaneous ' roadside
concert, as I have told.
For all of us it -had been a labor
of love. I will always believe that
I sang a little better on that tour
than I have ever sung before or
ever shall again, and I am sure, too,
that Hogsre and Dr. Adam spok

AH the time while I was sinemtr in
France I was elaborating an idea that
had for some time oossessed me. and
that was coming now to dominate me
utterly. I was thinking of the
maimed soldiers, the boys who had
not died, but had Riven a lez. or an
arm, or their sight to the cause, and
who were doomed to go through the
rest of their lives broken and shat
tered and incomplete. Thev were
never out of my thoughts. I had seen
them before I ever came to France.
as I traveled the length and breadth
of the united Kingdom, singing for
the men in the camps and the hos-
pitals, and doing what I could to
help in the recruiting. And I used to
ie awake of niKhts. wondering what
would becom. of those poor broken
laddies when the war was over and
we were "all setting to work again to
rebuild our lives. ;
And especially I thought of the
brave laddies of mv ain Scotland.
They must have thought often of
ineir miure. i ney must have won
dered what was to become of them,
when they had to take up the strug
gle with the world anew no longer

handicapped by grievous injuries that
had come to them in the noblest of
ways. I remembered crippled sol
diers, victims of other wars, whoji
I had seen selling papers and matches
on street corners, objects of charity,
almost, to a generation that had for
gotten the service to the country that
had put them in the way of having
to make their living so. And I had
made a great resolution that, if I
could do aught to prevent it, no man
of Scotland who had served in this
War should ever have to seek a liveli
hood in such a manner.
So I conceived the idea of raising
a great fund to be used for giving
the maimed Scots soldiers 8 fresh
start in life. They would be pen
sioned by the government. I knew
that. But I knew, too, that a pension
is rarely more than enough to keep
body and soul together. , What these
crippled men would need, I felt, was
enough money to set them up in some
little business of their own, that tfoey
could see to despite their wounds,
or to enable them to make a new
start in some old business or-trade, if
they could do so.
A man might need 100, 1 thought,
or 200, to get him started properly
again. And 1 wanted to be able to
hand a man what money he might
require. I did not want to lend it
to him, taking his note or his prom
ise to pay. Nor did I want to give
it to him as charity. ' I wanted to
hand it to him as a free-will offering,
as a partial payment of the debt
Scotland owed him for what he had
done for it ' ,
And I thought, too, of men stricken
by shell shock, or paralyzed in the
war there are pitifully many of both
sorts! I did hot want them to stay
in bare and cold and lonely institu
tions. I wanted to take them out of
such places, and back to their homes;
home to the village and the glen. I
wanted to get them a wheel chair,
with an old, neighborly man or an
old neighborly woman, maybe, to
take them for an airing in the fore
noon, and, the afternoon, that they
might breathe the good Scots air, and
see the wild flowers crowing, and
hear the song of the birds.
inat was the plan that had for a
long time been taking form in my
mind. I had talked it over with some
of my friends, and the newspapers
had heard of it, somehow, and printed
a tew paragraphs about it. It was
still very much in embryo when I
went to France, but, to my surprise
the Scots soldiers nearly always spoke
of it when I was talking with them.
lhey had seen the paragraphs in the
papers, and I soon realized that it
loomed up as a great thing for them.
Aye, it s a grand thin you re
thinking of, Harry," they said, again
and again. "Now we know we'll no
be beggars in the street, now that
we've got a champion . like you,
Harry.";. ;
I heard such words as that first
from a Highlander at Arras, and from
that moment I have.thounht of little
else. , Many of the laddies told me
that the. thought of being killed did
not bother them, but that they did
worry a bit about their future in
case they went home maimed and
helpless. , v."--
"We re here to stay until there's no
more work to do, if it takes 20 years.
Harry, . they said. "But It "I be a
big relief to know we will be cared
for if we must go back crippled.
l set the sum I would have to
raise to accomplish the work I had
in mind at- 1,000,000 uterlintr $5.-
000,000. It may seem a great sum to
some, but to me. knowinir the our-
pose for which it is to be used, it
seems small enough. And my friends
agree with me. When I returned
from France I talked to some Scots
friends, and a meeting was called, in
Glasgow, of the St. Andrews society. !
I addressed it, and it declared itself
in cordial sympathy with the idea
Ten I went to Edinburgh, and down
to London, and back'north to Man
chester. Everywhere my plan was
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm
and the real organization of the fund
wag begun on September 17 and 18
1917.
This fund of mine is known offi
cially as "The Harry Lauder Million
Pound Fund for Maimed Men, Scot
tish Soldiers and Sailors." It does
not in any way conflict with nor
overlap any other work already being
done. I made sure of that, because I
talked to the pension minister, and
his colleagues, in London, before I
went ahead with my plans, and they
fully and warmly approved every
thing I planned to do.
The earl of Rosebery. former crime
minister of Britain, is honorary pres-
ment or me iuna. and Lord Isalfour
ot Burleigh is its treasurer. And as
I write we have raised an amount
well into six figures in pounds ster
ling. One of the things that made
me most willine to undertake mv
last tour of America was mv feelino
that I could secure the support and
co-operation of the Scottish people
in America for my fund be.ter by
personal appeals than in any other
way. At the end of every perform
ance I gave during the tour. I told
my audience what I was doing and
the object of the fund, and, although
I addressed myself chiefly to the
Scots, there has been a most gener
ous and touching response from
Americans as well.
We distributed little plaid-bordered
envelopes, in which folk were invited
to send contributions to the bank in
New York that was the American
depository. And after each perform
ance Mrs. Lauder stood in the lobby
and sold little envelopes full of
stamps, "sticky backs," as she called
them, like the Red Cross seals that
have been sold so long in America at
Christmas time. She sold them for
a quarter, or for whatever they would
bring, and all the money weni. to the
tund.

DO MORE WORK
at
LESS COST
Lowering the cost of producing on a farm means more profit for
the farmer, and to lower the cost, it is necessary for the farmer to do
his work more efficiently.
'Efficiency on the farm means
BETTER FARMING.
Better farming, with its increased profits, results
from employing modern farm machinery and modern
methods. It is not the number of acres planted that de
termines the farmer's yield and income, but the way in
wMIch those acres are farmed.
THE GMC-SAMSON SIEVE-GRIP
Tractor is the ideal size for the average farm. It is small enough to do
odd jobs with economy and yet powerful enough to take care of the
work during the rush season.
.
Write today for our booklet on "Better Farming." It will- give
you an idea of the work GMC-Samson is now doing for farmers all over
the world.
