American Legion.
i Hird S try Iter of Omaha if a can
didste for alternate district delegate
to the national republican conven
tion, and petitions are being circu
lated to put his name on the primary
ballot
Mr. Stryker is a son of A. F.
Stryker, secretary of the South
Omaha Live Stock Exchange, and
is a native of Omaha. He was oae
of the first Omaha men to enlist in
the army after this country entered
the -war against Germany. He went
to Fort Spelling in May, 1917, and
was there given a first lieutenant's
commission, later being promoted
to captain. He went overseas with
the, 338th field artillery.
On his return to Omaha, Mr.
Stryker began the practice of law.
He is now a member of the law
linn, Crofoot, Fraser, Connolly and
Stryker;"Ie attended the Univer
sity of Nebraska for three years,
and later took a law course at the
Harvard law school and at the Uni
versity of Chicago. He has been
actively identified with -the Ameri
can Legrion since, the war.
Will Vote for Pershing.
In a statement announcing his
catidi.lacy Mr. Stryker said:
"Every delegate to the national
republican convention rcm Ne
bra?,ka will be bound by the prefer
enl decision of the party in this
state as expressed at the April pri
maries. My support as an alter
nate, if 1 am elected, will go unre
servedly and wholeheartedly to the
candidate tor the presidential nom
ination who may be designated by
Nebraska republicans as their
choice. '
"I shall cast my preferential rote
at tiu April primaries for General
Pershing.
"When the war started our nation
tackled the biggest job it had ever"
faced. Every citizen was in on the
work. The man chosen from among
all the people of the nation as the
executive of the job was General
Pershing. The job is done and we
are proud of it .
"General Pershing came back
home recognized by the whole
world as the man who successfully
beaded the biggest enterprise the
greatest nation in the? world ever
accomplished. He has returned to
Xelitaska, whence he started, and
he acknowledges allegiance to this
5 tare. He is not a candidate seek
ing the nomination
"His nomination must be secured
by those wjir believe in him, rather
than through his own activities: and
the nation wilflook to Nebraska for
his strongest endorsement There ,
is no other candidate to the held
with a record of achievement that
can be compared with him. If is
Nebraska's duty to the nation and
to tie party to present his name to
the convention.
"in this ay every man's attitude
toward government" is subject to an
alysis. General Pershing's attitude
will bear the closest analysis. He
headed those who gave the most
to perpetuate those things for which
America stands. He is a great
American." .

Intimate friends of Henry Rohlff,
former liquor dealer and recent vic
tim of "highjackers," report that
Henry is shaking hands with him
self. Henry, they say, has scored
triumph over thieving "booze
hounds" who have been raiding
Omaha homes recently- with .45
caliber artillery and telephone wire
clippers.
A surplus stock of rare liquor re
freshments were stored in a secret
compartment in the basement of
the Rohlff theater, 2559 Leaven
worth street, three weeks ago, ac
cording to Henry's friends.
No one but Henry knows where
the liquor is now, his pals say.
O Temporal O Mores!
H. A. Taylor, manager of the
Rohlff tHeater, did not even know
where the secret compartment was,
he says. ,
But the other night "highjackers"
tore down a brick wall dividing the
secret compartment from the other
half of the basement of the thea
ter. Evidently the highjackers had
a suspicion or a nuncn.

' Will Let It Age More.
Henry laughed, and laughed ome
more. So did his intimate friends
when the tale was spread broadcast
The stock of "Auld Lang Sync"
spirits was moved three weeks ago
to "somewhere in Douglas county."
Somebody must have remembered
the "Raid of the Highjackers" on
Henry's former home three weeks
ago when $1,000 worth of wine was
taken.
"I guess hell let it age, too," a
thirsty pal of Henry's remarked.

One Man Is Injured
As Street Cars Crash
Together at Comer
One man was injured when an
east-bound Farnam street car
crashed into the front end of a
nortn-bound Crosstown car at
Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets,
at 8:30 a. m. yesterday. E. H- Hansen,
Z1U8 Vinton street suffered a
wrenched back and bruises about
the body. He was motorman on
the Crosstown car.
Failure of air brakes to work
properly on the Farnam car was the
cause ot the crash, V. JU bchlesser,
2224 Howard street motorman on
the Farnam car said. He escaped
injury by crouching to the floor with
his hands on the emergency brake.
Scores of passengej-s . on both
cars on their way to work were
frightened by the impact of the col
lision.
The Crosstown car was hurled
clear from the tracks, the rear trucks
alone remaining on the rails.

BUILDING STRENGTH
x AFTER GRIP OR
nioiiiA
One of the best known profes
sional men in New York (his name
will be given on request) says:
"After an acute attack of typhofi
pneumonia I had jk racking cough
and lost .twenty pounds in eleven
days. I never was so completely
run-down in my life. I was about
to go to a hospital when J began
to take Father John's Medicine
which, after I had taken it faithfully,
restored me to sound health. I re
gained flesh that I had lost and have
since been as well as ever-in my life. J
I have-since learned that my physi
cian has been in the habit of pre
scribing Father John's Medicine in
such cases." .
For the getting-well ' stage after
grip or an attack of any serious dis
ease, do better strength-builder can
be found than Father John's Medi
cine, because its elements are pure
and wholesome food, which is eas
ily taken op by the weakened sys
tem and promptly turned into new,
vital strength. It b a safe tonic for
all the family because it does not
contain alcohol or any dangerous
drugs in any form, its merit is
proven by more than sixty years of
eyincreasirg success. s
