Prin cipal interest in the Minnesota pri mary election has beei' centered in the efforts of the natioral Nonpar tisan league to capture 'he repub lican nominations. The decisive fight on vhe issue created by Nonpartisan activity will come on the gubernatorial con test, with six candidates dividing the vote.

Dr. Henrik Shipstead of Gleh w ,n has the endoosement of the 1 bipartisan league, and the live jlicrnatorial candidates opposing lam include J. A. O. Preus, state auditor, endorsed for the nomina tion by the republican state "elimi nation" convention. There are seven candidates for the democratic nomination for gov ernor, including L. C. Hodgson, mayor of St. Paul. The Nonpartisan league has en dorsed a candidate for each of the other state office nominations on the republican ticket, but aside from the gubernatorial race and the con test for attorney general, the field is limited to two or three aspirants. Tt is recognized by the republicans affiliated with the party's state cen tral committee that the fight will be on the head of the ticket and it was tor tins reason mat the corrw mittee called the "elimination" con vention, which met in St. Paul May 8. A number of the avowed candi dates announced their intentions to sbidc by the decision of the conven tion, and when Preus was endorsed they immediately withdrew from the race and declared themselves for Trtus.

GUARANTEE WHEAT PRICE SALVATION FOR U. S.1 FARMERS Would Hav Lost Money at Market Price, Agricultural Department Says. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ore Leased Wire. Washington, June 20. Cost ,of producing wheat ot the lviv crop averaged $2.15 a bushel, according to survey made by the Department of Agruculture. At this price, the de partment says, half the farmers would have lost money. The govern ment guaranteed price was $2.86. The survey included a compilation of statistics from 481 farms. Nine representative winter wheat areas in Kansas. Nebraska and Missouri and five spring wheat areas in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota were visited by field men of the of fice of farm management. For win ter wheat, 284 records were taken and for spring wheat, 197. On just two farms out of the 461 ihe cost was as low as $1 a btishci. On 20 farms it was $5 or over. There was one farm in the winter wheat area where the cost reached $8 20. The average cost of producing wm tcr wheat was $1.87. In the spring wheat areas the average cost was much higher $2.65 the range run ning from $1.10 for one farm to $5 and over for 17 farms. If the price received had equalled the average i-v-t, between 50 and 55 per cent of i'icsc spring wheat growers would have failed to break- even. Political Class Fights Threaten Liberty, Hough Says Des Moines, la., June 20. Labor, capital and the farmers in class struggles for democracy in their own organizations nearly have lost the national view of democracy, and are near to becoming tyrannical, Dr. Lynn Harold Hough, president of Northwstern university, said today at the biennial conference of the eneral federation of women s clubs. e asserted selfishness and egotism on the part of small groups of wil ful persons held America from tak ing its rightful place in the world. Devotional and patriotic services were on today's program. Memorial services also were held. It is essential that the United States "harmonize with the world orchestra to- produce a universal and"! latsing peace," Dr. Hough said. . "American womanhood expressed the true American spirit in the work accomplished in the world war and if the country is to be a real unit in the progress of the universe it must measure up to the ideals of the mothers and the soldiers of the army of that period." Further consideration of resolu tions introduced Saturday anTthe re port of the nominating committee are on the program, for tomorrow.

Chirac. Tribvne-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire. Washington, June 20. As far as is possible in the circumstances, Senator Warren G. Harding, the re publican presidential nominee, di vorced himself from politics and spent a "home day" with his family and personal friends. The senator remained at his house all' day, with the exception of a motor ride in the afternoon. In the evening he dined quietly with Mrs. Harding, and his house guests, Mr. and Mrs. F. K. Scobey of San Antonio, and R. B. Craeger of Brownsville, Tex. Bu while today had little political flavor, tomorrow will reek of it, for the special committee from the republican national committee will be in conference with the senator, both in jhe morning and afternjoon. The members of the committee. Na tional Committeemen Weeks of Massachusetts, Hert of Kentucky, Hamon of Oklahoma and Williams of Oregon, are all in Washington, and spent the day together. They said later that they would not talk about their deliberations until to morrow. Will Hays, chairman of the national committee, w.iU be in attendance at the conference tomor row, the primary purpose of which is to arrange definite campaign plafts and set the dates for the for mal notification of Senator Har ding and Governor Coolidge. This special committee was em powered by the national committee at the Chicago meeting, to appoint a campaign of 9 to 15 members which will take actual charge of the fight during the coming summer, and will be responsible for the line of attack. It is probable that ihe names of this campaign committee will be announced tomorrow eve ning. Senator Harding has already be gun work on his campaign speech, so it was announced today at his headquarters. ( He has been gather ing materialfrdrn many sources, as is indicated by his callers during the past week. He has conferred .fre quently with Senator Fall of New Mexico upon a future Mexican policy for a republican administra tion, with Senators Lodge, and Smoot upon matters pertaining to foreign affairs, and with House Leader Mondell, Senator McNary of Oregon and Representative Sinnott of the same state, upon land reclama tion projects in the west, as well as upon conservation of natural re sources. The editors of agricultural papers with whom the senator took lunch yesterday furnished him some ideas upon the agrarian situation and it is presumed that quite a portion of his speech of acceptance will treat of the serious problems now con fronting the farmer and the country, through the lack of labor on the farms. Senator Albert J. Bcveridge and Theodore Roosevelt, jr., represent ing progressive elements in tne re publican party, will arrive in Wash ington Tuesday or Wednesday fof a conference with Senator Harding. It is said that both are in an ex ceedingly amicable mood toward the new nominee. It is expected that a delegation of women republicans will appear to urge that they have a part in the conduct of the campaign.

' It's a test to show whether girls walk properly. If a girl can lift up a pencil with her toes she can walk properly, ac cording to Miss Ruth McCoy, phys ical director of the Young Women's Christian association. Lifting a pencil with the toes the toes pressing the pencil against the ball of the foot shows that the owner of those toes walks properly, exercising all their muscles and making, them strong, says Miss Mc Coy. .- Demonstrations have convinced Miss McCoy that comparatively few girls can lift up a pencil with their toes because they walk incorrectly and wear improper shoes.

Jack Pickford kills a man and runs away for lactic days in South America, at the Moon this week. Carlyle Blackwell discovers he is a half breed Indian and goes back to the desert of his birth, at the Rialto, and Rex Beach's story of salmon and Alaska is the attraction at the Sun. A double program of merit is of fered by the Moon in "The Double Dyed Deceiver." starring Jack Pick ford and a Hawaiian musical act, the seductive melodies of which charmed audiences yesterday. Jack makes a good looking, jaunty "Llano Kid," who just naturally hates to see Mexicans live. Sydney Ainsworth, as the American consul, most be given a good deal .of credit for his interpretation of that part He's only one step behind Jack in the picture. Marie Dunn is charm ing as the "senorita'' who "does" for that hard-boiled article Jack has lugged around for several years and called his heart. "The Third Woman," at the Rial to theater, advertises no star, but as a matter of fact. Cariyle iilack- well has a fight to that honor.

Easy payments. ' Liberal allowance for old registers. We mate cash registers for every line of business NATIONA merous closcups of Mr. Blackwell's handsome, sensitive features with their almost feminine appeal, are given throughout the film. There are no smiles in this picture. It gives the tragedy of a man's life, an alien from one race and aii out cast from the other. To add to Luke -Halliday's misery, he has been allowed to grow to manhood with his birth a secret and has the Tacts come to him in one grftit blow after he has been taught to judge the matter from a white man's viewpoint. Gloria Hope wins him, being the "Third Woman" but the sympathy of the audience will probably be drawn to Mo-Wa, the Indian girl who loves him in vain. The Sunday afternoon audience ai the Sun theater enjoyed "Jhe Silver Horde." So much was evident from the character of the applause and the comments. Most of 'em enjoyed the pictures of the salmon fisheries with the "silver run" at its height and they "were telling the world" about it. "Look at 'im just rarin' -to get at them salmon," yelled one delighted young man just as the hero prepared to set the mammoth machinery in motion to gather the season's catch. No wonder Boyd Emerson was ex cited! His whole fortune hung in the balance not to mention a girl. Rob ert McKim is the villain who tries to ruin the young man's chances. The scenic effects, especially snow scenes, are really beautiful. It's a pity Myrtle Stedman was chosen to lplay the part of Cherry Malotte, or OLD WAY the that, being chosen, she couldn't have doffed the marcel wave and the "glad rags" and acted the part of the north ern maid with more realism. Carl Gerard as Altine Clyde adds a touch of comedy. "Treasure Island" has Shirley Mason in the part of "Jim Hawkins" and an adorable boy she makes, to be sure. The picture is a faithful reproduction of the great novel with its well known characters. The Muse showed "The Silver Horde" yesterday. Today the pro gram is "The Beggar of Cawnpore," with H. B. Warner in the title role. Elaine Hammcrstein, grand daughter of the famous Oscar Ham mcrstein, makes her screen debut in Omaha this week at the Orpheum in the photoplay, '"The Shadow of Rosalie, Byrnes." This debutante of the silent drama takes the roles of two sisters, Leona and Leontirle Maddern. Leona, the good sister, secretly marries Lieut. Gerald Cromwell, who is the scion of a wealthy family. During the soldier's absence overseas his family seek tot annul the marriage, mistake Leontine for Leona. offer $10,000 for the re lease of their son. and thereby pro mote a situation that is replete ith thrills and suspense. The lieutenant returns from war and begins an in vestigation. In the end Gerald and Leona are reunited and Leontine reaps the whirlwind for her perfidity. The story has been cleverly worked out for screen presentation and Miss Hammerstein in her dual role gives promise of being heard from in her future movie studio work. Gladys Brockwell, supported by a capable cast, is seen in "White Lies." a society drarfta, at tne Em- I press the, first part of this week, in receipt-printing items by machinery. vthich two daughters of a baroness reduced to poverty are mixed tip in love affairs bringing out the neces sity of telling a few "white lies."

The l'athe Weekly shows some interesting views of trre recent national republican conven tion at Chicago and several excel lent closcups of the republican nominee for president, Warren G.

" AT THE' THEATERS ANOTHER summertime pro gram of breezy vaudeville was accorded popular approval at the Orpheum yesterday. "Once Up on a Time" is the name of a musical farce, with Jack Princeton leading the mirth and melody. The little story is based on the appearance of four former sweethearts of a young man whose friend impersonates a stepmother to enliven the situation. Four young women in the act are pretty and they wear neat gowns. George Austin Moore, one of the Orpheum circuit favorites for years, is here for the first time since he NEW cash register was entertaining the Yanks overseas, in the same unit with Will Crcssy. Mr. Moore has an original way of presenting his songs and stories with a southern flavor.

The Rosaires have a neat wire act. Topics of the Day and Kinograms are offered as screen features in con nection with the vaudeville bill and Elaine Hammcrstein is seen in the photoplay feature, "The Shadow of Rosalie Byrnes." An unusually strong vaudeville bill is the offering for the first part of the week at the Empress which opened last night, with Herschorn's Swiss Song Birds in an act entitled a "Morning On the Alps," consisting of three maids and a man, accompa- nist on a zither and special scenery. This act is the hcadliner of the pro gram and the young ladies do some fine singing of Swiss selections, in cluding a, Tyrolean yodling song, and Jdn Herschorn executes a pleasing zither solo, which received deserved applause. ' The two Vanderkoors were also recognized as a stellar attraction with a burlesque magician act and the presentatioii of Felix, the mind reading duck. The act is mirthful and greatly enjoyable. "An Aerial Ring Flirtation," pre sented by The Rials, delighted the audience and the comedy chatter of the performers added to the success of the act, which was replete with thrilling and humorous situations. Endowed with a charming sopra no voice Miss Estclle Despon enter tained the audience with a number of pleasing songs and won an encore. WAY J. SMITH COMPANY 10 MAIN ST. .
