Federal Attorneys
Will Not Prosecute
Brewery Interests
New York, April 24. The govern
ment will take no steps to prosecute
manufacturers of beer of 2 per
cent alcoholic content pending a fed
eral court decision in litigation now
in progress here to test the con
stitutionality of, the war-time pro
hibition act. However, producers of
this commodity after 'April 30 will
operate at their peril, according to
William C. Fitts, representative of
Attorney General Palmer, who an
nounced the government's attitude in
court today.
District Attorney Caffey, of the
southern New York district, supple
mented the announcement witlj a
statement that he had no disposi
tion to begin any prosecution under
the emergency prohibition act un
til the court had had time to con
sider the test case. Should there
be any change in the situation, he
said the court and the brewers
would be notified.
The government was not con
cerned, the federal attorneys said,
with the brewers' contention that a
24 per cent brew was not intoxi
cating. It was proposed, they stat
ed, to prevent, during the demobili
zation period, production and sale,
the latter effective July 1, of all
beer and wine. This policy would
be carried out, they said, unless a
court decision made, it impossible.

ployes during regular hours of busi

MICHIGAN AND
lOVA RAGE FOR
FIRSTHONORS
Hawtaye State May Lose
Honor of Being First to Go
Over Top in Victory .
Bond Drive.
Washington, April 24. Subscrib
ers to Victory Liberty loan notes
are encouraged by the treasury to
buy registered instead of coupon
notes to eliminate danger of-thejt
or loss. In explaining this today,
treasury officials said the desire of
the treasury to issue registered se
curities wherever possible was em
phasized in this loan because the
registered notes carry one interest
coupon for the December IS pay
ment, thus saving the treasury the
expensive routine of sending out in
terest payment checks at that time.
Unofficial reports show that most
subscriptions so far have been for
coupon notes which may be con
verted later to registered securities.
Most subscriptions appear to be for
the 44 per cent partially exempt
notes rather than the 3 wholly ex
empt securities. Total subscriptions
reported today were $396,000,000.
Iowa May Lose.
National loan headquarters today
undertook to ascertain whether
Michigan or Iowa had first subscrib
ed officially their respective quotas.
On the face of unofficial returns
this honor appeared to go to Michi
gan. The Cleveland district, with ,94
cities and towns past their goal- to
day, appeared to be leading all other
federal reserve districts with num
ber of communities with this record.
The district total sales were esti
mated in excess of $80,000,000.
More than two-thirds of counties
in Oregon have subscribed their
quotas and the state was trying to
achieve 100 per cent today.

Fix Universal Day
Of Peace Two Months
After Signing Pact
Paris, April 24. (By the Associat
ed Press). A clause has beeif draft
ed for insertion in the peace treaty
fixing the date for the transition to
a state of peace, 60 days after the
signing of the treaty. ;
The purpose of this provision is
to prevent confusion among the
more than 20 belligerant nations,
which might fix different dates
in. .their various ratifications. Ar
cording to the present plan, each na
tion will ratify the treaty according
to its, own laws, but all will unite
in a common date, which will be
come a universal day of peace.
It is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated pow
er, but not an ally, should sign a
separte treaty of peace vith Ger
many. It would be the same treaty
as that signed by the allies and
would be signed at the sarrf time as
part of the same ceremony.

ESTABLISHED
1895
OMAHA.
NEBRASKA
WHICH IS BEING REORGANIZED, AND WE WILL TAKE OVER THE
Factory and Plant Office, 18th and Ames Avenue. Authorized Capital, $500,000.00
Manufacturers of Grading Contractors' Equipment and Builders of the Nation Wide Known "Little Red Wagon"
THE FACTORY TODAY
Speaking of the plant and factory, it has many acres as a
factory site with three lines of trackage in the yards, on the main right
of way of the Belt line in the city of Omaha, which is centrally located,
ample factory space, with most improved and up-to-date machinery
and employ between eighty and one hundred men.
The smoke is coming every day from the smoke staclfe and the hum
of the buzz saw and the noise of, the machinery is evidence of daily
money-making powers.
THE PRODUCTS Truck, truck bodies, farm tractors, grading
contractors' equipment and farm implements five specific industries
under one head, each and every one assures a large profit.
A thousand dollars invested in an organization that only manufac
tures trucks, and because of some reason or other does not produce a
dividend, then there is no dividend for the stockholder, but one thou
sand dollars invested in five specific products, manufactured under one
head, makes the investment and the profit secure.
THE DEMAND The steady increase in all commercial industries,
motor truck transportation, farm land improvement referring to the
bill Secretary of Interior Lane introduced into the Sixty-sixth Congress
asking for an appropriation of three million dollars for farm lands in
order to make every foot of ground productive, the goed roads and cross
country road improvement that has been introduced in Congress and
taken up by practically every State Legislature in the United States.
' OUR NEW PRODUCT
The Proposed Merits of the Truck, Truck Body and Farm Tr factor
Manufacturing Which Will Be Added to Our Other Lines
TRUCKS It is proposed to build a one and half or a two-ton truck
having specifications of the very best product like the Buda Unit Power
Plant, the famous Clarke Internal Rear Gear Axle, which embodies
their special construction that when one wheel is in the mud, by an exer
tion of 13 power which automatically locks with the wheel that is
high and dry and gives over 87 efficiency where heretofore all the
power has been lost by the spinning of the wheel in the mud. Heavy
distribution type frame, artillery type wheels, irreversible stearing gear
and equipped with 34x4 solid tires. This truck will be sold at a price
that will meet, any competitive manufacturer on the market today for
the reason of the profit made by the company on their respective lines.
TRUCK BODIES Every conceivable type of express, grading,
cattle and commercial truck bodies will be manufactured by us. We are
well equipped to put to use one of the best truck bodies on the market
by reason of our enormous wood shop and combined facilities at the
factory.
FARM TRACTORS At the present time we have an option on
patents of three different types of tractors that are far past the experi
mental stage, having been on the market for at Jeast four oiwfe years,
and which we are assured, when carefully gone over by our engineer,
that we will have a farm tractor at a reasonable price, that will not
only prove satisfactory, but will have a big organization and a staple
guarantee behind it.
(Specifications subject to change by deoision of our engineers.)

INVESTMENT FACTS ESTABLISHED
For sound, practical reasons and the best use of your money, why
not make an attempt to verify the facts before deciding whether you
will spend two or three thousand dollars in an ordinary security, or
invest it in a corporation that has been established fourteen years and
has payed dividends up to 51 annually and has more than 100 as
sets and securities?
THINK THIS OVER!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO OWN STOCK IN JOHN DEERE LOW
CO., MOLINE PLOW CO., CASE IMPLEMENT CO., GENERAL MOT
ORS CO., INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO., FORD & CO.? YES,
SURELY YOU WOULD.
WHY?
For the following reasons:
Their stock is worth many times par.
They have paid large dividends for many years.
There is a great demand for their product.
They have manufactured more than one specific product.
Because of their success and soundness and business men at the.,
head of the company.
For the reason credit and bank endorsements.
Because their trials have proven-successful and "the proof of the'
pudding is in the eating," and a statement of dividends is more satis
factory proof of a sound securtiy than if it was said, "We can do what
the other fellow has done."
