THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 25, 1920. 5 A' BRYAN DELEGATE TO CONVENTION FOR HITCHCOCK - ,,, J Dan V. Stephens, Primary Winner, Says He Will Not Follow Dictates of Rival , 'Factions. Fremont,' Neb., April 24. (Spe cial.) Dan V. Stephens, successful Bryan-slaU candidate for delegate-at-large to the democratic national convention, will vote for Senator Hitchcock for president as in structed by the Nebraska primaries, but will oppose any attempt to com mit the democratic partv to a pro gram for light wines and beer. Mr. Stephens will not supporl Mr. Bryan on his stand for government owner ship, nor does he stand with Bryan on the question of making the treaty a campaign issue. "There has never been anv doubt about Mr. Hitchcock getting the vote of the Nebraska delegation at Snn Francisco," Mr. Stephens said. "Iwill support Mr. Hitchcock. "I am, however, absolutely and unalterably opposed to this plan for light wines and beers. If adopted it will inevitably bring the breweries a"d the saloons back into politics and every succeeding election that we will have will be clouded by the liquor issue. I am strongly against any such proposition." Referring to the proposal thar the democrats declare for government ownership of railways, Mr. Stephens said: "I am opposed to any form of government ownership of railways that has' yet been proposed. That does not mean that I am opposed to private control under federal su pervision. But I have become con vinced that no business can be operated successfully without the element of self-interest, and all of the government ownership schemes so far suggested would eliminate this very vital thing." Hog Shortage Is Acute in Intermountain States According to M. R. Murphy, gen eral manager of the Cudahy Pack ing company in Omaha, there is a shortage of hogs all through the intermountain country west of Den ver. He said the shortage was most apparent in Utah and Idaho, where the supply had been greatly de pleted by early shipments to the Pa cific coast. "Around Ogden and Salt Lake the shortage of hogs has been so heavy that the Cudahy company has been compelled to buy several thousand head in Nebraska to supply our branch plant at Salt Lake," said Mr. Murphy. "Most of these hogs were bought at North Platte at the rate of from 400 to 500 weekly and some of the hogs we bought on the local market were diverted to Salt Lake.

' In making an investment there, are four prime factors you must take into consideration, and they are Location, Management, Profits and Safety. We call your attention to our advan tage in reference to each one of these four points. Omaha, an Ideal Location The railroad facilities bring practically every point in Omaha's big trade territory several hundred miles nearer this city than Chicago. Twenty-two lines of railroads with many branches run out of Omaha, and only ship ments directed to a few far western points are transferred from original cars. The freight . rates in and out of Omaha are lower than for any other large market town in the United States. With this great advantage, and with the added advantage of quick delivery, a mail order house can be developed in Omaha to a volume of business equal to that of the largest house operating. Mnnrmnr The officers ot Bradley, Merrlam' & Smith management scarcely need an introduction to the people of this territory. They have for over thirty years been In business in Omaha and Council Bluffs and they enjoy a well earned reputa tion as keen, progressive and successful business men, which is evidenced by the fact that they have averaged 21 cash dividends for their stockholders since they have been in business. The heads of the various departments are specialists in iheir lines. Many of thorn have come from responsible positions with some of the largest mail order houses in the United States. ITnucual Pi-nfJfe A thousand dollars Invested in Sears, UnuSUdI rrtUUS Roebuck & Co. thirteen years aso has today a market value of $25,000, to say nothing of the big cash divi dends paid each year. For the last six years Montgomery Ward & Co. has earned on its preferred stock an average of 58.13 per cent. Many younger and relatively smaller houses, such as Harris Brothers Co., ( World-Herald, April 20.) SEARS-ROEBUCK VOTES 40 PER CENT DIVIDEND Chicago, 111.. April 19. Directors of Sears, Roebuck & Co., a mail or der house, today voted a 40 per cent stock dividend to be paid July 15 to stockholders of record June 15. The company's outstanding com mon stock now totals $75,000,000. The new issue of $30,000,000 will have a value in excess of $60,000,000, as the stock Is quoted at $236 a share. Sears-Roebuck stock sold as low as $20 a share in 1907, when $30,000, 000 was outstanding. With stock div idends paid the stock now has an ag gregate market value of $690. the Hartman corporation and th National Cloak & Suit Co., have made comparatively aa good a showing. The participating preferred stock of Brad ley, Merriam & Smith should show even greater value In a few years, when you consider our rapid progress of the4ast five years. At the rate we are growing, and with the In creased business made possible by extra capital, a much larger dividend percentage should be made from now on than ever before.
