. TO ERECT FIRST
HIGH BUILDING
Ancient Polish City Will At
tempt to Have. Sky Line
Rivally That of
New York.
By CAPT. CHARLES PHELPS.
Written for International New. gcrrke.
Warsaw, Poland, April 9. The
foundations of the first skyscraper
ever built in Europe will shortly be
laid in Poland's anoient capital. It
will be a seventeen-story structure,
conceived and built entirely along
American ideas, which have capti
vated the local imagination.
An American Red CroSs chauf
feur was the unwitting source of
inspiration which set on foot the
biggest business scheme Poland has
ever seen. His billet was in the
third-floor- back of a hospitable
Warsaw merchant who, on oc
casion, was wont to invite his guest
to take a cup of tea with the family
on cold evenings and share a place
at the hearth where a tiny wood
fire was all the heat his home could
boast. The chauffeur spoke French
of a sort. So did the merchant. And
his guest's tales of the building
glories of New York and Chicago
iired the merchant's imagination.
10 Centuries Behind Times.
"You are 10 centuries behind the
times when it comes to business,"
the chauffeur told him. "You haven't
a business building in Warsaw over
six stories high. How can you ex
pect to get ahead?"
"How high do you build 'em in
the U. S. A.?" queried the merch
ant. "Oh, we run as high as forty to
fifty stories," said the guest, "but
seventeen is a good average."
"We might start at 17, then,"
mused the merchant. "I'm going to
see what can be done. This country
plans to model its future, in busi
ness as well as politics, along Amer
Incan lines."
A month later the merchant had
organized the "Liberty Union" cor
r poration and the plans for Poland's
first 17-story skyscraper were in the
architect's hands.
Erected in Main Street
The new building will be erected
en Warsaw's principal business
itreet. The land has been furnished
the corporation by the municipality
on a 99-year lease, at the expira
tion of which the building will be
come the property of the city. The
lower floors of the edifice will house
an up-to-date American-plan depart
ment store, ine upper stories wm
be leased as business offices, and on
the roof a government wireless sta
tion will be installed. All Poland is
watching with keen interest the ma
turing of the olan which will irive
the people their first opportunity
to obtain the necessities of life at
the low prices permitted by Ameri
can large-scale buying for retail
distribution.

Ex-Nebraska Soldier
Living in Minnesota
Works for Pershing
John N. Baldwin, secretary of the
Pershing Soldiers', and Sailors' club,
room 108 Paxton hotel, has re
ceived the following encouraging
letter from one of the loyal ex-service
men:
"Fergus Falls, Minn., April 4,
1920. Dear Sir: I have a letter
from you asking me to vote for
Pershing.' I am now in Minne
sota instead of Nebraska. But I
will vote for Pershing.
"Will I receive the service but
anyway if I vote 'for him in this,
country.
"Please save me a button. Iam
a Pershing man and also a Ne
braska boy.
'.'Also 1 will get all the boys I
can to vote for Pershing, for I do
think Pershing is the right man
for president.
"Will send my vote again for
Fcrshing and hope he gets over
the top.
"Please answer this letter and
let me know how things are in Ne
braska. Yours truly,
"ARTHUR A. OLSON."
"From the tenor of the second
paragraph in this letter it would
appear that sonic one is circulating
the canard in Minnesota that ex
service men voting for Pershing
would not be entitled to receive a
button," said Mr. Baldwin.
Farmers in Cass County
Report Seed Corn Shortage
According to information received
at the stock yards from western
Cass county, there is a shortage in
that neighborhood of good seed
corn, which may greatly affect the

last year's corn crop around Green
wood and other points was poor and
that farmers are having a hard time
to get good seed.
Farmers in the eastern section of

to a great extent to furnish a large
quantity of seed corn and there has
been a spirit shown to help un
fortunate farmers all that is possible.
With a good supply of seed corn
in-Cass county large crops are ex
pected this fall in that section.
