" THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1319 SELLS INTEREST IN ICE COMPANY OF NORTH POLE Swindler Tells Farmer of Steel Rod Sticking Dut Of Pole to Scoop . Up Ice. V III! MinnrsnoHi. Kit. Dec. 14. Spe cial.) Vision! of affluence gonl and with the $30,000 hard earned cash, Homer Hograth, a farmer, of Minneapolis, Kas., today applied for a warrant tor ualiueo oruDiafg, anas Gallileo Grubb, alleged participant in the discovery of the north pole and. nromoter for the "Aurora Borealis Ice .company," a concern which Hograth thought was to revolutionize tne ice uusmess oi the world. Hograth described the plan m op eration for the "Aurora Borealis Ice company," as explained by thi missing Grubb. It was a plan which rivaled' the schemes of Baron Mun chausen. "' " ,Jm Brings Chill on a Hot Day. One blazing hot day last July Gallileo appeared on the Hograth farm. He was equipped with an ap paratus similar to those used by sur veyors. In appearance he was tall, dark, excitable, and wore his beard in a hfsvv tan LVvke style. Grubb seemed busy and preoccu- ' pied, making -some sort ot meas urements, continually looking" to ward the skies and gesticulating as if absorbed in calculating some ab struse,problem in mathematics. Finally, Hograth says the strang- v. er suddenly , exclaimed excitedly, "this is the spot, the very spot." Then Gallileo Grubino Introduced himself and offered to buy his farm, continually raising the price, until Hograth admitted he was offering niore tlian the place was worth. Ho garth! scenting a mysterious' for tune. refu?edto sell. They Go Into Partnership. Upon his fourth visit Hograth , says Gallileo finally abandoned the attempt to purchase and agreed to take Hograth into partnership. He explained that he was an Italian scientist, that he had accompanied Peary to the north pole, and that tha. pole was really a steel projec tion from the center of the earth. -He had invented, he told Hograth, a mighty scoop, to be attached to the pole and to be run by electricity In the process of the earth's revo lution Gallileo explained, the scoop would' dip into the ice of the arctic, and as the earth revolved the scoop would gradually tip and its contents fall to the earth in the exact longi tude and latitude of Hograth's farm. . .-.-.. t Since Hograth had refused to sell the place, Gallileo offered to ac cept the farmer as a partner upon ' the payment of $30,000, Hograth to remain uoon the farm and take care of the ice, while Gallileo would reV turn to the pole and harness his scoop upon it. y Gallileo hasn't returned from "the ' poleChicago Tribune! WOMAN BETRAYS x HER LOVER; WILL RETURN TO PRISON Jack West, Arrested in Omaha, Also Wanted in Peoria.

Identification at an escaped eon vict from Leavenworth waa made through ' a picture found in the rogues gallery at tne central po lice station, say police' A reward of $100 is offered for the return of West to the federal prison. Police have learned that West and Louis Miller escaped from the pris on on the same day in June, 1919. Miller recently was arrested "in Omaha under the alias of Dr. L. A. Tyson. West was a pal of Miller't in. prison, it was" learned. Both es caped in the garb of soldiers.

Strikes are no longer a private fight, between employer and employe, he said. The Amer ican, public, the third party to the consideration,' does not propose, he. added, to sta'nd for striftes t"a relic of "industrial barbarism." ' , '."We must have tribunals where these matters can be settled," he as serted. "We must establish courts of mediation, conciliation and com pulsory investigation and their de cisions must be backed tip by pub lic opinion which will enforce them. "Civif problems go to civic courts. Why not industrial problems to in dustrial courts? - The government must provide some means of solving these questions."

News of the settlement of the coal strike has brought old GerieraUHope out of his fit of despondency and given the gate to v the Glooms that have been doing the tango amid the graveyard daisies: With one eye to business, the average business man will spend the next few .months rehabilitating his' for tunes, his other eye fixed on that darksome spot where the Ogre Politics is reading copy on the revised text of his latest edition preparatory to coming out of his hole. The business man is getting ready to play little old Jack the Giant Killer with this person, and the beans in his bag are ready to sprqut at a moment's notice. ' Aside from this, while the turmoil has been going on, the bureau of trade and commerce of the federal govern tment at St. Louis has been steady at work hunting up l worms for the early birds to .gobble. . .These opportunities, published every Mpnday in The Bee, offer a means of ready recuperation from the losses . occasioned by the strike and coal restrictions period. The dooryard hound may raise the old howl about 1 the grass looking green on the hills far away, but the m- sin 'nation that it isn't any better than that close "t'hum" loses force in argument when paralleled with the also not unlikely fact that it couldn't beany worse. Foreign trade is not only good, quick and reliable r cash pay, but it is easier to sell to than most of the home trade, owing to the fact that our productions are new and novel to it, and eagerly snapped up. For instance, a representative of a foreign country recently arrived in the United States looking for a line of r cheap automobiles to handle back home. An enterprising firm that makes a low priced ma-i chine which is but beginning to make headway in the auto world got in touch w&h this man through the trade bureau, guaranteed all shipments to be up to sample shown, and disposed of an exhibit battery of his cars, the people of the visitor's country, anxious enougn to have an auto of almost any kind that would run, were "tickled to death," as the autp salesman says, and sent fh a bunch of Orders. " ' These orders came without any outlay for advertis ing. . , Advertising was not needed. The auto was a new and strange .device in the country, and anything would I have sold. First impressions' are lasting, and the result of this incursion into new territory is that this particular car is "on the ground" floor and it will be difficult for another make to make headway against the prestige it already has gained. " ' x And the field is large enough to take .up a large pro portion of the firm's output. , - , Disposal of the same number of cars in this country wouldrequire the establishment of several branch houses in different cities, local and national advertising, and, an army of salesmen, demonstrators, office force and shop- men.. - Not a single one of these is needed in making the sales to this foreign country and the commissions paid are almost the. totalx expense. - There is a double moral in this, the one that is not obvious being that the man who sells outside his com munity brings dollars into tbwn that were not here before, and is a greater benefactor to his city than the one who makes and sells at horned simply keeping the same old money,in circulation. , Profits last during the enforced business depression ; cannot be made back by increased prices, nor by trying to sell a man double what he needs, half as fast as they I can by hunting up a new man to sell to. And the foreign trade bureau has a long list of new " men. Read The Monday Bee and write for it. !! ..w.AHA.ll-lAl.AAAW......rAAAAf C. Haf er Lumber Cb. Shipa Direct to tb Usw Lumber.
