IS THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1919. Special Purchase of Best Aluminumware In Sale Saturday at Union Outfitting Co. World Famed Painting Called "The Redeemer" on Exhibition Free to Public. The Picture, Valued at $70,000, Is on Display This Week Only. As every woman knows, that for health and cleanliness, econ omy nnd wear, there is nothing to equal Aluminum in the kitch en, it is safe to say that the Special Purchase, which the Union Outfitting Company places on sale next Saturday, will be well attended. The sale is remarkable because of the excellent quality and the fact that concessions in price made by the maker, on account of the purchase, will enable you to buy Aluminum ware at about the price of Granite ware. If you love a kitchen made bright with Aluminum ware, you will also be interested in the great War Painting of Herbert de Mareau, who was killed in the fighting at Chateau Thierry. It is a scene on a Belgian bat tlefield at eventide. In the fore ground a French soldier is stretched prone on the battlefield and in the distance the sun is sinking to rest through the battle smoke. The painting is exhibited free. The sale of Aluminum ware is additional evidence of the ever increasing Buying Power of the Union Outfitting Company, locat ed just out of the High Rent Dis trict. As always, you make your own terms. OPPOSITION TO POTASH MEASURE IS BOOMERANG Expected Supplies From Eu rope Not Coming Pro tective Bill Would Have Furnished Home Product.

IL "irTI as? By E. C. SNYDER, (Staff Corrwpondent of Omaha Be.) Washington, Sept. 9. (Special.) "Efforts made by opponents of the bill for the protection of the potash industry to keep it from being re ported by the ways and means com mittee have brought about some re sults not contemplated." said Con gressman Green of Iowa, Tuesday. Expected Poreign Supply. "They have supposed that if the bill could be delayed the south and east would be able to lay in a large supply of cheap German pot ash at prices which prevailed" be fore the war. In this they have been disappointed. So far, only a small amount of potash has been received from abroad and the liricc lias been about double what fre vailed prior to the war. What has been imported from Europe has come from the mines in Alsace, now in the possession of the French. The German mines are producing but little, and the mine owners of that country have petitioned the govern nient for leave to double their price. "Jn France, where production seems to be going on at a greater rate than in Germany, there is a great demand for potash, as the light French soils have had none for four years.- It is not likely that any large amount of potash will come soon from France, it at all. Caused a Shortage. "The result is that there is an impending shortage of potash and the fertilizer companies have with difficulty supplied their fall require ments, which are small compared to what they should have next spring. If the potash bill had been passed with the other tariff bills that have gone through the house the Ameri can factories would have been in full blast by this time. Some of them have started in a small way, stimulated by the prospect of a shortage, but they are not likely to continue unless some definite as surance can be given of the main tenance of prices. Biters Get Bitten. "Our soils that need potash will be insufficiently supplied next year. The whole situation is but another illustration of the error that is made in attempting to rely on foreign countries to supply products of which an adequate supply could be obtained in our country at a rea sonable price if initial protection was given. It is likely that the prospect of a shortage will lessen the opposition to the bill which heretofore has been quite strong, not only on the democratic side, but in certain republican districts in the east."

'& ,:MCa 0 r' IS true that the sheer beauty of the Liberty has taken the style centres of the country by storm. But Liberty success is infinitely more than a fashionable vogue, because it is built on per formance, even more than beauty of design. New York is no more enthusiastic over the graceful lines of the Liberty, than the wonder ful smoothness of its performance. And New York is no more enthusiastic over either, or both, than this community of our own. If you will give us the opportunity to show you how the Liberty rides and drives, you will see that the wonderful things which have been said of it are not one bit overdrawn. Omaha Liberty Auto Co.
