.years.
The election for the third pub

Stiff fight between the east and the
westi . . .
Robert H. Hughes of Portland.

. over the Rev. Dr. Jacobs of Penn
' gylvania after the latter was within
' seven votes of election. In the elec

tion's succeeded in getting most of
the coveted prizes and there is a
Natural reaction on the part of the
larga number of western delega
4 fcioni represented at the conference
tend many 0f them are ready to
make a strong effort to recuperate
their losses.
Stunt May Go to Europe.
The episcopal committee still is
wrestling with the problem of as
signing the 38 bishops to their resi
dences and areas for the new quad
rennium. ' . ,
This is the important topic of
fconversation now and there is
plenty of log rolling in behalf of
favored bishops. It may be that
Bishop Homer C. Stuntz of Omaha
will be sent to superintend work in
Europe or India. In case he is
sent abroad gossip reports Bishop
Edgar Blake -or Charles E. Lock
or Bishop E. G. Richardson is likely
to occupy the Omaha see. -

The majority of the committee

pared and published a report recom
mending that no change be made
in the present apostle s creed of the,
church. . , , .
A minority report, however, will
U submitted to the general con
ference, it was said, asking that.a

phrase "the holy catholic church.
.The 'creed now eads "I believe in
the holy ghost,' the. holy catholic
fchurch, the communion, of saints,

word ."catholic" is used in the sense
tof general, and has no reference to
the Catholic church as that term is
generally understood.. However, the
farters of the minority "PM de

1920 Lamb Crop Will
Be Far Beloy Normal
Reports from the west reaching
Omaha liva stock interests recent
ly confirm the impression i that the
'820 lantb crop will be far below
hernial. Early lambing -is. saio w
have been successful, but the April
' tend May end of the crop is de
ficient Flocks went into the winter
" in poor cemdition, and- m many lo
calities, despite a heavy feed bill,
ewes -were unable to take care ot
their offspring at . lambing time.
Idaho and Washington have fared
best. Montana and Wyoming worst.
As restocking requirements will he
i heavy, the movement of both fat and
' feeder lambs to Omaha during the
coming season1 will be much lighter
than last year. Little contracting
has been done on the range about
J00 000 Idaho lambs have been taken
" at $14 and it is probable that many
' ventures of this kind will be under-
taken.'

Cqrn Gop Menaced
By Seed Shortage,
Valley Dealer .Says
The seed corn situation in the
United States is quite serious, ac
cording 'to Lawrence Coy of the
Coy Seed company of Valley, Vho
was a visitor at the locat yards this
week.
Mr. Coy said people do not seem
to realize that the farmer has not
been able to lay in a supply of good
seed but once in the past five years.
He credits this condition to the
early frosts of fall and the wet
growing seasons and lateness of
spring.
According to Mr. Coy, if the
farmers of this country do not raise
good seed crops this year the situa
tion will be most alarming and the
proposition is so acute that the
world's food supply is endangered.
This spring finds the situation more
perplexing than ever, with farmers
being compelled to replant their fall
planted crops of wheat, clover, al
falfa, etc.

state house, attacking the statement
of-L. C Oberlics, member of the
board of control, made yestejday, in
which he said that Miss Yotel-vas
fired because of "incompatibility,"
and charges that politics is to blame
for the action of the board.
Inasmuch as Mr. ObeYlies is the
only democratic member of the
board, her statement loses its force.
Secretary Fairfield of the 'board
stated this morning that they had
been compelled tj hunt for an hour
for records of the office, the location
of which was known to Miss Yokel,
simply because ths lavter would not
give them the information they de
sired after the board had appointed
another party to the job she wanted.
It was this showing of "incompati
bility" which finally decided the
board to notify the woman that her
services would not be needed after
