PREDICTS GOOD
PORK DEMAND
IN DECEMBER
Minimum Price to Remain
Same; Thinks Foreign De
mand Will Keep Mar-
" ket Booming.
In accordance with thelatest rul
ing by the food administration and
a subcommittee of the agricultural
advisory board and hog raisers and
packers,, that the minimum price on
hogs continue at $17.50 for the
month of December as it was in
November, W. B. Tagg, president of
the National and Omaha Live Stock
exchanges,, said: I
"The Omaha market will continue
to pay an average of 17 cents a
pound for hogs and no good or
merchantable hogs will sell less than
.16 cents. I estimate that the de
mand from foreign countries will, be
so. great that we will have a good
market for hogs untij spring.
"The price will warrant the pro
ducer in finishing his hogs before
marketing them as no merchantable
hogs will sell under 16 cents."
Says, Men in Service '
Appreciate the Way
People Support Them
Ensign F. A. Robbins of the
United States navy has been in the
city during the last few days visit
ing old friends. For some years
Ensign Robbins was sales manager
for the Cudahy Packing company
of South Omaha. Later he was
transferred to Chicago, and shortly
after entered the service as a second
class seaman.' After entering the
service he took an - intensive six
months' course at the Pelham Bay
Naval ' Training station, which is
said to be equal to the regular four
year course at Annapolis. Complet
ing this course he was transferred to
Cleveland, where he was assigned to
a boat which made all the important
points on the Great lakes.
Robbins, says that every man in
the service surely appreciates the
way the people at home stood back
of them in every way. and states
it is his opinion that the unstinted
loyalty of the peeople at home had
more to do with the boys' success
on the field than anyone can realize.

Are you helping the school
children of Omaha to go to
school with their little feet pro
tected against the cold fall rains?
If so, you would be made happy
to see them, all decked out in
grand, shiny new shoes in place
of the tattered old ones. Poor
widowed mothers, families quar
antined for influenza, and many J
otner causes put tne parents in mo
position of being unable to buy
the children shoes, which are of
vital importance - to their health
and well being. The Bee shoe
fund is supplying the shoes where
the parents are unable to do so.
We need your help.'
