WILSON FEARS
"RED" MENACE
IN AMERICA
In Speech at Des Moines Says
Only Way to Be Rid of
Peril Is to Ratify
Peace Treaty.
(Continued from Ff t.)
meeting of the labor conference un
der that part of the treaty should
take part in Washington upon the
invitation of the president of the
United States. I am going to issue
that invitation whether we can at
tend t!:e conference or not.
"But think of the mortification.
Think of standing by Washington
itself and seeing the world take
counsel upon the fundamental mat
ter of civilisation without us. The
thing is inconceivable, but it is true.
The world is waiting, waiting to see,
not whether we will take part, but
whether we will serve and lead. For
it has expected us to lead.
"In Paris delegations from all
over the world came to me tor solicit
the friendship of America. They
frankly told us that they were not
sure of anybody else that they
could trust; but that they did abso
lutely trust us to do them justice
and to see that justice was done
them.
Attitude of World.
"That is the attitude of the
world and reflect noon the reaction,
the reaction of despair, that would
come if America said, 'We do not
want to lead you. You must do
without our advice. You must shift
without us.'
"How are we going to bring about
a peace for which everything waits?
I nave been very much amazed and
very much amused, if I could be
amused in such critical circum
stances, to see that the statesman
ship of some gentlemen consists in
the very interesting proposition that
we do nothing at all. I had heard of
standing pat before, but I never had
before heard of standpatism going
Jo the length of saying it is nane of
our business and w'e do not care
what happens to the rest of the
world.
"Some gentlemen are saying, "yes.
ANNOUNCEMENT
We beg to announce to our friends and customers that
on account of the rapidly increasing business the entire Third
Floor of the Finance Building at 1817xDouglas Street was

we made a great promise to man
kind, but it will cost too much to rei
deem it My fellow citizens, that is
not the spirit of America, and you
cannot have peace, you cannot hare
even your, legitimate part in the
business of the world, unless you
are partners with the rest. If you
are going to say to the woYld we
will stand off and see what we can
getout of this, the world will see
to it that you do not get anything
out of it. If it is your deliberate
choice that instead of being friends
you will be antagonists, then you
will get just exactly what rivals and
antagonists always get, just as little
as can be grudgingly vouchsafed
you.
Ready to Talk Business.
"Is there any business man here
who would be willing to see the
world go bankrupt and the busi
ness of the world stopped. I do
not like to argue this thing on this
basis, but if you want to talk busi
ness, I am ready to talk business.
It is a matter of how much you are
going to get from your money, you
will not get half as much as antag
onists as you will get as partners.
"So think that over, if you have
none of that thing that is so lightly
spoken of, known as altruism. And
believe me, my fellow countrymen,
the only people in the world who
are going to reap the harvest of the
future are the people who can en
tertain ideals, who can follow ideals
to the death.
"So, my fellow-citizens, you have
got to make up your minds, because
after all- it is you who are going to
make up the minds of this c 'untry.
I do not owe a report or the slight
est responsibility to anybody but
you. I mean youand the millions
besides you, thoughtful, responsible
American men and women, all over
this 'Country. They are my bosses,
and I am mighty glad to be their
servant"

GAY BROADWAY'S
GREAT WHITE WAY
IN BLOOM AGAIN
Settlement of Actors" Strike Lifts
Dark Cloud That Has
Hung Over Theaters.
New York, Sept 6. New York's
"great White Way" blazed forth
Saturday night after the partial
eclipse caused by the 30-day war be
tween thespians and managers,
which ended early Saturday. Many
of the closed theaters were unable
to arrange for a reopening Saturday
night, but all announced that per
formances would be resumed early
next week.
According to the claims of the va
rious parties to the war, it ended in
a victory tor everybody, itie Ac
tors' Equity association and the
Chorus Equity association were tri
umphant because they gained rec
ognition; the managers pointed with
pride to the fact that provision for
an "open shop" was included in the
treaty of peace and the Actors Fi
delity league, which supported the
managers, proclaimed its satisfac
tion that it was also recognized.
Storage of Surplus Stock
During Wilson Address
Monday Puzzles the
Commissioners.
Mayor Smith's municipal store at
the Auditorium did not experience
much of a rush last night after the
opening minutes.
At 9 o'clock there was a consider
able supply of canned beef; canned
corned beef and canned corn beef
hash, and also packages of grits on
nana, some of the bacon also re
mained unsold.
It was a disappointment for those
in charge and resulted in embarrass
ment for W. G. Ure, acting mayor,
who attended the sale and who had
to look after the storage of the un
sold goods.
The Auditorium must be cleared
today for the president's visit Mon
day and the removal of the unsold
goods remains a problem for the
city hall people. It was suggested
that the goods should be taken to
the mayor's office
The tea, prunes and dried apples
and peaches found a ready sale, but
many looked twice at the bacon and
canned meats.
The total of the sales amounted
to $3,500, the smallest of any sale
yet held by the city at ,the Audito
rium.

Your grocer kivs that selling the best
!is .the one sure way of holding your
trade. A grocer can buy any brand
of flour milled so there is a wide se
lection for his test for the best
To sell you flour but once is not profitable since
it proves that you were not pleased with what
,you bought. But on the other hand, when you
"buy flour from the same grocer week in and week
out, as you will from the grocer who sells Omar
flour you become a booster for that grocer
52 weeks a year
All this means that the grocer who sells Omar is
looking out for his own interests as well as yours..
He knows that after you once have bought and
baked Omar the chance for any grocer to sell
iyou any other-flour, will be mighty slim indeed.;
Omar may cost a fef cents more per sack, but
it is themost economical flour to buy because
tit will bake about 5 more loaves to every 48
pound sack. We proved this in our laboratory
baking tests with 40 other brands.,

"If Omar doesn't bake the
best bread you ever baked,
simply take the empty sack

Douglas and Barry,
"Two Bums," Please
Patrons of Gayety
"I'm a bum," George Douglas
and John Barry, also a bum, en
tertained Gayety patrons with a
rapid fire of laughs in their musical
skit, "Matrimonial Tangles." While
George and John were in the back
ground the Bon-Ton Girls with a
program of the latest musical hits
added to the entertainment.
The,, scenic effects and costumes
of the company are the, most 'gor
geous seen in burlesque this sea
son. Enclosed in the costunies are
20 of the most beautiful chorus
girls collected' in one organization.
They sing and dance equally well
and their ensembly numbers are
marked by the gracefulness and
rythm of the ballet.
Douglas and Barry are assisted
in their antics by Harry J. O'Neal
who keeps the "pep" of the produc
tion "in high" all the time. Jack
Strouse features in the musical
numbers. Ed Simmons introduces
some novelties inacrobatics.
Babe Burnett is a soubrette of ex
traordinary ability and her clever
dancing in leading the chorus made
her extremely popular. Jean De
Lisle, the prima donna, has a sweet
soprano voice xand her numbers
were well received. Lucile Rogers
as Countess Primola added many a
laugh to the show.
Jean DeLisIe and LewBarrv in
troduce a Dutch song and dance
near the "tag" of the show that
repays the audience for the wait.
Melodious voices and clever feet of
these two young women bring
them back for several encores.
The "plot" is conspicuous by its
absence but joy reigns supreme
through the two acts of , eight
scenes.
Increased Business
Forces Insurance
Co.
To Seek Larger Offices
American Live Stock Insurance
company, the big hog insurance
company recently organized, will
move from the World-Herald build
ing to its new location in the Fi
nance building, suite 300-304 1817
Douglas street. This move was
necessary in order for the company
to acquire adequate office space.
That the hog insurance which is
written by this company is meeting
with the general approval of farmers
and hog raisers throughout the state
is shown by the rapid increase in
the amount of business written. List
week's business showed almost 200
per cent increase over any previous
week. A splendid showing was
made at the state fair with the firm's
exhibit last week.
The company has in its employ
270 local '-agents and 40 special
agents, a number of which have
moved to Omaha with their fami
lies since making connections with
this company.
The company has in its employ a
numberjof ex-service men and are
adding new men to sell hog insur
ance all the time.

Certified by Goodrich
More-Mileage Adjustment
Whenever you buy anything, something
measures it out, certifying how much
of it you get It may be by count, by
a yardstick, or a pair of scales.
The tire user has settled on the mile as
his measuring unit of service.
Goodrich, accepting his measurement,
certifies both the quality and quantity
of Goodrich Tires with the Goodrich
More-MileageAiustment 6,000miles
for Fabric Tires 8,000 miles for Silver
town Cords.
Goodrich: is making big, powerful, en
during tires, the best Goodrich's long
experience and skill can produce. 'It
has pleased thousands of Goodrich
dealers and users to tell us they "are
the best tires the rubber industry has
produced." x
At every step in making these tires, re- .
lentless inspection, watchful of Good
rich's good name, is on guard to see
that each tire comes forth physically;
fit, measuring up to the high, qualitjr K
set for Goodrich Tires. T
Then Goodrich Certification steps in,
and measures out to the tire user in
his own unit the least he with proper
usage will get from a Goodrich Tire.
It gives tire users the peak standard, at
one a gauge to appraise the value of
other ..tires, and a surety bond for the
Goodrich Tires he is buying.
