PASTOR HAS FILL
OF SETTLING
FAMILY ROWS
Rev. W. G. Jones of Red Oak
Resigns Following Bass
Sedam Hearing by Bap
tist Association.
; Red Oak, la., Aug. 6. (Special!
The Rev. W. G. Jones, pastor of
the Baptist church here, where the
Southwestern Iowa Baptist associa
tion council found It necessary to
meet last week to hear the family
troubles of Mr. and Mrs. Judd A.
Bass and their daughter, Mrs.
Thomas Sedam and her husband,
has resigned. He will enter the
newspaper business.
The Rev. Mr. Jones declared that
settling family disputes is an ob
jectionable feature of a pastor's
work, and one of which fie has had
his fill. He maintained, however,
that he is leaving the ministry tem
porarily .for a rest.
He has not had occasion to speak
to the Judds or the Sedams since the
church hearing, and that hearing, he
said, had nothing to do with his
resignation. He has contemplated
the step three months, he said. He
has been pastor at Red Oak just one
year. He has been 17 years, in the
ministry. "
The resignation came as a com
plete surprise to his congregation.
He resigned last March, when the
problem of settling family disputes
in his church seemed to be too
great, but so many members of the
congregation urged him to stay that
he reconsidered his resignation.
During his 17 years as a minister,
the Rev.' Mr. Jones said he had fre
quently been called to mediate fam
ily and neighborhood quarrels.
The council on the Bass-Sedam
hearing voted to refuse the hand of
fellowship to Mr. and Mrs. Judd
Bass and Mr. and Mrs. George Bass.

ALLIED COUNCIL
REJECTS TERMS
OF ROUMANIANS
Recognition of Ultimatum
to Hungary Refused
by the Peace
Conference.
Paris, Aug. 6. (By the Associated
Press.) Nicholas Misu of the Rou
manian peace delegation was sum
moned before the supreme council
today which gave him, a communica
tion for hisgovernment, saying that
the Roumanian ultimatum to Hun
gary cannot be recognized by the
peace conference and calling 'upon
Roumanians to live up to the armis
tice terms.
Misu said that the Roumanians
were taking back supplies which the
German field marshal, Von Macken
sen, took from them, but his expla
nation did not alter the decision of
the supreme council, which was
unanimous. 1
While the French hitherto ap
parently were inclined to regard
Roumanian occupation of Budapest
favorably, it was evident at the
council meeting that they have
changed their position since seeing
the Roumanian ultimatum and art
now heartily in accord with the
American and British position which
the Italians have been supporting
consistently.
It was made clear at the meeting
that Roumanian ambitions would cut
off the communications of Central
Europe and make it impossible to
feed large populations and also
would greatly interfere with reparations.
Members of St. John's Hold .
Picnic at Riverview Park
Fifteen hundred members of St.
Johns parish attended the annual
picnic of st. Johns church yester
day afternoon and evening at River
view park.
The crowds began arriving at 3
o'clock. At 6 o'clock a basket lunch
was served. Games and races occu
pied the early part of the evening
and dancing took up the latter part.
Drive on Prices Forces Drop.
Hogs sold at 10 to 20 cents lower
at Union stock yards yesterday,
the top price of the market being
$21.25. . Hog dealers attribute the
abrupt (decline in sale price, in part,
to the nation-wide campaign against
high food prices.
All the paraffin wax for candle
making in South Africa has to be
imported. This amounts annually
to 3,250 tons, valued at $1,500,000.

Forty-eight hours after cattle are
purchased by Swift & Company they are
hanging up as meat; within two weeks
the fresh meat has been sold.
This speed -means money in the
pocket of the one who raises the live stock
and of the one who eats the meat It
means a rapid "turnover" of capital and
investment making possible the trans
action of daily business on a narrower
margin of profit.
Speed permits Swift & Company to do
a successful business on a profit of a frac
tion of a cent per pound.
Such speed, with its rapid turnover
and smaller profits would be impossible
without the efficient organization and
wide scope of Swift & Company, the results
of fifty years' experience in handling meat.
Do you believe that government inter
ference with the complicated and efficient
machinery of the packing industry can
be of any benefit? Experience with
government regulation of railroads and
telephone and telegraph might - suggest
an answer.

Woman Kills Herself
Despite Patrolman
New Aug. 6. Checkmating
a policeman, who sought to prevent
her from committing suicide, Mrs.
Sybil Boblitt, formerly of Memphis,
Tenn., sent a bullet through her
brain in a Madison avenue office
building Wednesday night.
The policeman was summoned by
Frank H. Goddard, a Newv York
salesman, who informed him that
the woman was about to commit
suicide in his office. Hurrying to
the office, the policeman found her
sitting at a desk with a revolver
pressed to her temple.
The patrolman and the woman
gazed fixedly at each other for sev
eral minutes while he tried to in
duce her to lay down her weapon.
Finally, thinking she was off her
guard, he leaped toward her, but
befefre he could reach her side, she
shot herself.
Goddard told the police he be
lieved Mrs. Boblitt, who was a
widow, killed herself because she
felt he did not reciprocate her in
fatuation for him.
In her purse was found a card
bearine the inscriotion. "Sister. Mrs.
TL. H. Foster, Denver, Colo."
May Import German
Potash Into America
Washington, Aug. 6 German pot
ash may be imported into the United
States under a ruling by the War
Trade board. The commodity, the
hoard announced, has been renfoved
from the limited list of materials on
which wartime restrictions were re
tained when the general blockade
was lifted July 14.
Importation eff potash from Ger
many, the chief source of the com-
fmodity prior to the war, has been
a subject of controversy practically
ever since the signing of the armis
tice. The American potash indus-,
try, which was war-born, asked that
protection be afforded for several
years at least.
Farmers' organizations requested
that importation be permitted as a
means of lowering the cost of liv
ing. Legislation now pending be
fore congress would levy a higher
taritt on potash than that now im
posed. Omaha Labor Union Is Not
Interested in Recall Move
H. J. Tolliver, the president of the
local Central Labor union yesterday
issued the following statement in
connection with the announced move
to recall some of the city commis
sioners: "It has been stated n many quar
ters that the labor organizations in
Omaha are back of the recall of
the city commissioners. So far or
ganized labor has not taken any ac
tion in the movement to recall
some of the commissioners and is
taking a disinterested attitude. Each
commissioner will be judged on his
individual fitness for the office and
labor as a body will take no active
part in the recall if it comes up to
the voters at an election."

Des Moines, la., Aug. 6. (Spe
cial.) The Des Moines street car
strike, scheduled for next Friday
morning, was postponed 4t least un
til September 9, and perhaps avert
ed, by a decision handed down by
Federal Judge Martin J, Wade, un
der whose orders the bankrupt com
pany now-is operating.
Judge Wade permitted the com
pany to borrow from funds on hand
sufficient money to pay the wage in
crease granted the carmen by an
arbitration board, from August 1 to
September 9.
Unless the city council, by the lat
ter date, has made considerable
progress toward working out a new
franchise which will allow the com
pany earnings large enough to main
tain the higher pay scale, a strike
again will be in prospect. Judge
Wade said he will not extend the
order unless it has become "reason
ably certain that provision will be
made to advance fares." The men
have announced their intention to
strike just as soon as wages drop
back to the old level.

Inaugurating the August
Fur Sale inJDmaha a num
ber of years ago this event of
the Aulabaugh store is awatited
with great interest by the
women of Iowa and Nebraska.
Aulabaugh's better values,
lower prices and exclusive de
signs mark the August, 1919,
sale the greatest in our entire
history.
LAST Sunday in our large ad
vertisement in the Omaha Bee we
explained how Mr. Aulabaugh, by his sys
tem of keeping trading posts among the Indians of the
Hudson Bay country of Canada, is enabled to procure
throughout the year, pelts for his stores in Omaha and
Lincoln of exceptional excellence and luxuriousness. ,
How with his frequent trips to the Northland
he is able to select the skins which are best suited for
draping into fur garments; how-by his careful process
of manufacturing, etc., he is able to present the finished
garments to his customers at prices much below the
houses who are forced to purchase their garments from
the wholesale manufacturers.
How because of his intimate knowledge of the
materials which are used inside and out he is able
to place his unconditional guarantee behind every
article and in case of any latent defect he is able to
make it good in hi& own shop, thus preventing avoid
able delay.
