"' ..I - 1 South Side LOTS OF COAL IN THE EAST, SAYS YARDSVISITOR No Curtailment 'of Industry by Coal Strike There, Declares Massachusetts Man Buy ing Cattie. Lewis Weinberg of the .Bright Wood Dressed Beef Co., of Spring field, Mass., wn a visitor at the South Side stock yards this week, and during a visit at one of the commission firms, told of conditions in the' East. , x According to Mr. Weinberg, atl .industries were running full blast, with no curtailment caused by the coal shortage, and he said there seemed to be an abundance of fuel in the Atlantic Coast states. "The company which I represent comes to the west to get good cat tle," aid Mr. Weinberg in explana tion of the reason for shipping live itock such a long distance. "In Massachusetts the only cows we can get are little Jerseys and Holsteins, which is because of a . lack of corn and alfalfa for feed and of the failure of the people in rais ing cattle for beef. '"Eastern business men hoped to see the peace treaty question settled 10 that the road would be open to finance bankrupt European coun: tries, which have made no demand for our products' for which they tannot pay." I After making a tour of the stock I rards and various packing houses, k.he tisitor commented upon the wonderful amount of business tran sacted in a day and noted the im pression made upon him of the ac tivity and spirit displayed by he . iverage business man of the west. My HEART aud My HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations - of a Wife Cudahy Packing Co. Issues Statement On Big Pork Losses The Cudahy Packing company in Omaha westerday issued the follow ing statement: 1 . "Information just received Indi cates that the British ministry ; of foods is facing a loss of millions of . dollars on American pork products. "This, loss is due to the fact that ".British firms bought more "mild cured" pork than British ships. Brit ish lahor, British docks and British warehouses could handle efficiently. "Some of the meat was , stowed bndly in ill-equipped British vessels. Some was allowed to lie for six or .'YMght weeks in the holds of British boats at English ports where strikes Were in progress. Bacon and other ; "mild-cured" meats, which were pro cessed in accordance ith British specifications and which had left the United Statet in perfect condition, were' left for a month or two on .British quays., exposed to sun and weather. Much of the pork is still improperly protected. "Naturally, under these conditions, which were caused by labor short age, lack of refrigerator facilities and perhaps by overbuying, the 1 mild-cured pork has depreciated. "Since the British, ministry, of foods resumed control on August 9, ' the . British government thereby came into possession of the meat stocks and shipment in transit. "Inspection by the ministry of foods began about September 1 and necessarily proceed slowly. Mean ' while, the "mild-cured" pork, im properly protected or not protected : at all, continued to depreciate m value. j. This depreciation is still go ing on. - , - "During the latter part of the war, the British partly solved .their ship ping and refrigerator difficulties by f specifying that their pork was to be heavily salted. But British taste, "unused to heavy salting rebelled, ; tir 'wa some- criticism of American pork on this account, al though it had been so salted at the direction of the government . 11.. f Snow Forces Men to Desert ' Automobiles for Street Cars -Hundreds of heads of commission Arms narlfintT nlants and others who have ben accustomed to go to their work in their automobiles on the South Side have been compelled to use the street cars, as street traffic has been greatly hampered by the large drifts of snow in tne sireeis. 1 The sudden thaw of Thursdav make the streets more dif ficult for automobile transportation, ' .e v enow hpeame oacked.

I knew that my neck and eara must be as red as were Dicky's at the caustic little reminder of his negligence she h;. ' given him a few minutes before. The remembrance of that rebuke kept me from the anger I otherwise would have felt at my friend's inti mation that I had been unwise in the manner in which I had atoned to Major Grantland for my rudeness although I think if any other woman in the world but Lillian had uttered the words they would have ended our friendship immediately. "Don't misunderstand me, childl Lillian's voice had lost its mischiev ous intonation and became as tender and soothing as the stroke of the brush she was plying upon my hair. "I am not censuring you. It was a perfectly natural action, and if it had been almost any other man of your acquaintance I should not have a word to say. It is prob ably an impertinence to speak about it any way. But, my dear, I've lived a long while in this world of tears, long enough to recognize a cask of high explosive when I see one. And, Major Hugh Grantland is as high an explosive as I ever wish to set eyes upon." f "Like Him!" , "I've guessed of course, that you didn't like him," I said, banally enough. . .- "Like him!" ejaculated Lillian. "My dear, I'm mad about him. If I were younger or he were older she broke off abruptly, as if she re alized the absurdity of her own non sense. "But seriously, Madge, I like him immensely, still that doesn t blind my eyes to the fct that he s a high explosive, who ought to be labelled with a danger signal where either his anger or his romantic af fections are strongly concerned. She gave my hair a dozen slow strokes with the brush before she spoke again. As for me, I was si lent,' because I did not, know what to say. , , , , "Of course, I know you think I m an awful old fusser," she retifrned at last, "but I'm sure you don't real ize just how deeply Major Grant land feels concerning you. I wouldn't have told you this at the time when you first met him, be cause it would have set you specu lating about him and to speak plainly, for we might as well have this out right now and then never refer to it again at that particular time you didn't need any extra in centive for , thinking about him. Frankly, I was worried about your peace of mind at that time, never about your actions, because you have too high a sense of what is due yourself to say nothing of your hus band to los.e your balance. But you rounded that corner beautifully, and Oantland'a . admiration for what Dicky was doing, his sense of jus tice because you were misjudging your husband, kept him sane. But now "But Yon Forgive" Another loner silence. Evidently Lillian was framing her words care fully. I vas breathless in attention U this rim' nuttinsr far awav from me all the foolish resentment I had felt. "Now you have literally been thrown into his life in most roman tic fashion, and to make matters worse he -evidently has pressed the idea in his buzzum that Dicky is neglecting you. Of all the asinine times for the Dicky-bird to get rest less 1 . You and I know that is all his behavior means, but then, that's a man all over. If we could always deoend uoon 'em this world would be the feminine milleniuml Her off-hand way of assuming that neither my fault nor another woman s attractions were responsi ble for my husband s recent defec tion was balm to my wounded van ity. I suspected that she had shrewdly planned this very effect, but I was too happy in believing her to quibble at her method. "That neglect notion is the dan gerous one for the dear major to cherish," Lillian went on, "and I want you to realize not only that, but another thing, the fact that any unusual kindness or gentle appeal ing for pardon on your part is dis tinctly like a match applied to the powder barrel. As I said, I wouldn't have told you this before for fear of the effect it might have upon your own imagination, but I know you have a pretty good balance wheel out there." She indicated the lawn outside, where my small son, refreshed from his nap, was having a most glorious romp with Marion. "You know that I Bless his baby heart!" I ejaculated fervently. . "Amen!" Lillian said with a touch of solemnity. Then she. gave a lit tle laugh, and I knew that her lec ture was over. , ' "But I don't need to go on with this farrago any longer," she said. "I've warned you, and anything more would be a superfluous im pertinence. But you forgive me, don't you?" . A lump in my throat macie it nara for me to reply in words. To think that I had resented the criticism of this wisest, most interested ot friendsl ! But with my arms around her I think I made my answer clear. (Continued Monday.) High Price of Fresh Pork Is Explained , By Packing Company In a letter received Friday by commission men at the, local stock yards Thomas E. Wilson of Chica go, head of the Wilson Packing Co., tells of a few reasons, from his point cf view, of the high price of pork loins and pork chops, when the price of hogs made several big drops re cently. In part Mr. Wilson said in his letter: "The trade in Omaha de mands a,, light loin averaging six to ten pounds. There are other mar kets that make the same demand, and the run of hogs has been light, which has resulted in the marketing of heavyweights. Light receipts of hoes have naturally caused a short age of loins as well as light loins. "The prices of smoked hams and other smoked meats declined gen erally in line with other cured pro ducts and there is realty no direct relation between the selling, price of smoked meats and fresh pork loins during recent conditions." . Newly Appointed Officer Discharged by Eberstein J. J. Montag, one of the newly ap pointed policemen, waa discharged yesterday by Chief of Police, Eber stein for alleged drunkenness. The chief stated that Montag called up the station at 3 yesterday morning and said he was at the Millard hotel and that he "couldn't come to the station." Sergeant' Samuelson was sent to the hotel and says he found the embryo officer somewhat under the influence. The chief ofpolice can discharge men who have seen less than six months of service.

Davis is charged with attacking Mayor Smith during the riot of September 28. Mayor Smith has declared posi tively that he recognizes Davis as the man who attacked him. Davis is out of jail under $14,000 bond covering four charges against him. South Africa has put into force a law for the governmental supervi sion of dairies to bring the industry to the highest possible standard. Drug Addict Tells Judge of Pleasures Of the Dope Habit Al Peterson, 1908 North Twenty eighth street, begged Police Judge Foster in Central police court yes terday to send him to "some cure" for the diug habit. "Judge, I can't keep away from dope," he cried. "It haunts me, soothes me, and the lack of it crazes me. Please send me away." ' He was arrested Thursday by Special Detective Larry Finn for petit larceny when he was caught attempting to steal a watch fob off a counter. in the Brandeis stores. The'police judge ordered Peterson senrto'the county hospital.

Large Corn Stalks Are On Display at Stock Exchange In the lobby of the Stock Yards Exchanee building there is on dis play a sample of cornstalks grown by Bert Hagenbeck of Arlington, Washinp-ton County, which attained the height of 16 feet 2 inches. The samole was part of an agri cultural display at the Washington countv fair and was given first prize at the Centennial celebration at Fort Calhoun. In addition to the corn stalk display is a number of large stalks of broom corn sent in by Fred Silhck of the same neighbor hood. Henry Rohwer, a local live stock man, was instrumental in se curing the stalks tor exhibition.
