It ia possible that many do not know what the mystic letters "C. F. R atahd for and yet almost every orie .who gets along in this old world , carries them into effect. Probably the greatest medium for "jC. F. R." in Omaha is the agricul J t.iralj bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. Its "special purpose is to Create Friendly Relations be tween town and country- " i C. F. R. brings in no particular profit, but is valuable none the less for helping the farmer and the city-H man to see eye-to-eye and. under stand each other's problems. The committee that manages this agricultural bureau is headed by W. iD.. Hosford, manager of one of tne biggest farm implement companies . in, Omaha. Every member of it -1 lived, as a boy, and many as young men. on the farm. Their interest in improving agricultural conditions is very real, and their knowledge bad on actiial experience. r Here Are the Farmers: ' For instance, there is- William Stull, tvho has, farms all the way from Colorado to Indiana'. He is known as the author of a big book on agriculture showing that the only ining inat ir wrong with tanning is mat it is not profitable enough. Then there is I. "W. Shorthill.

M. Tem- fle, editor of the Nebraska Farm ournal; T. F. Sturgis, former editor of the Twentieth Century Farmer, "nd Frank Myers, manager of the Nebraska Farmers' union1, are among ine omer memoers. , , For manager of the' bureau they chose H.. F.

Wftrki for Better Schooli. - The work of the bureau covers wide scope. There is Harry Schif ferle, who went'chit in the state and helped organize a farmers' potato marketing association.

By example and precept, this group of Omaha business men, who canhot forget that they once lived 6n 'the , soil, are calling the atten . tion of commercial clubs all Over the state to the. need for wider co operation "With the rural population. And when the farmers come into town for such an event as the re cent sale of. fine hogs, the farm bureau is there to .greet and enter tain them. . t "The interests of the farmers and city folks are 'mutual," said Mr. Mc intosh yesterday. One of the func , tions of our bureau , is to show what ' the i farmers are doing for them selves. When some, new variety of -seed wheat or , rye is found that gives a greater yield, we like to tell the business men about it. The . things accomplished by the live farmers of Nebraska mean a great deal to all of us. Extend a Friendly Hand. - - ".We do not attempt to go into direct production problems. Bumper crops show that the farmers have mastered that end of their business, and pre not in need of outside ad- 'ce. We already., have diversifica tion to the limit"Cf our climatic con ditions. There. is no chance of re stricted production by farmers who own their land. What they asR is to be l$,t alone. 'e afe not attempt ing to advise them, but merely to get acquainted, and to make tlicm feel that we stand ready to i co-operate with them whenever necessary, for all our interests are the same." Wagon Coal Mine Owners Protest Recent l. C C Order Washington, Sept. ; 4. Owners of wagon coal mines protested today to the Interstate Commerce commis sion against the recent order re stricting use of open top cars by such mines unless equipped with tipples or elevations ' to facilitate loading. .'The operators denied that the loading of cars from wagon mines resulted in undue delay of railroad equipment. The commission's or der was characterized as discrim inatory and. unjust. They charged the' delay, complained of was due to the practice of the railroads in many instances in giving the railroad mines a week's supply of cars . in advance.

Habler, aged Omaha couple, 401 North Fifteenth street. -Like hundreds of other ' Omaha parents, this old couple rejoiced at the signing of the armistice. They marched, happily with the gay, re joicing throng that paraded the streets when the armistice was an nounced. . For their two vounsrest sons had been forcK into the Austrian army, and peace meant thfir release. It also meant they would.be able 'to make their delayed departure for America, where,' after a separation of 14 years, they would again be re united with their parents, and cane, for them in their declining years. He Died Fighting. It was .shortly after the signing of the armistice that word reached the parents that their youngest son, Dave, 23 'years old, had been killed on the Italian front. The bldw stag gered the old people. Yet their sor row was somewhat relieved when a letter from their older son, Mosej, informed them. Dave had died fight ing, a brave soldier to the last. . They tried to forget their sorrow by looking forward to the return of Moses. He planned to leave --for America as soon' as he could save sufficient funds and had secured a passport. Several months ago they received a message stating he would embark for America some , time in August. - Then followed a glorious interval of preparation for his arrival.

He could not bear the thought that his native country might be overrun. So he enlisted. When the Reds werr crushed he. would leave for Amer iqa, he said. And now the old couple are try ing to .drowned thir sorrow with the thought of their Son's bravery and patriotism. He had been force J into the Austrian xarmy, but "when his native country was in peril he had given up his chance to leave it all, and. hurried to its aid, hence he is very good and brave, they say. But they are experiencing all the agony and suspense so well' known to hundreds of other Omaha parents during the great war. " . : Dockmen's Strike on British ' Vessels Gaining Strength .

"v St. BATH TUB WINS FAME FOR PASTOR AT HASTINGS As Overseas" Y' Worker, Ne braska Preacher Gives Hot Baths to Cootie-Laden Soldiers. Fame has come out of a bathtub in the ruins of a French village to a Nebraska minister. The Rev.. Charles R. Tyner, pas tor of the Episcopal church at Hast ings, undoubtedly accomplished much that wSs helpful to .the soldiers of the First division while on duty with the Y. M. C. A.but thedecd that is put down for the world to read is his getting bathtubs for the doughboys in a dusty desert of crumbled stone and shattered homes. Katherine Mayo tells the story in her new book, published by Houghton Mifflin companv, and called "That Damn Y." Despite the title of the work, the book is in praise of the canteen workers. Story 'of "Hoi Water." Mr. Tyner, who is chaplain of the American Legion in Nebraska, left his church at Lincoln to serve with the Y. M. C. A. His wife, who was a Miss Sprague of Omaha, stayed in this city in his absence. His two brothers are prominent, one being the Rev. George Tyner of Fremont, and the other the Rev. Frederick' Tyner, formerly pastor of St. Andrews church here, and now preaching in Minneapolis. But the story of "Hot Water, by Gosh," as given by Miss Mayo, fol lows: . "Tyner, once on as time,' was dropped on a rubbish heap called Thieux, around which troops i)ext day wjuld camp, coming out of the trenches for rest. Beside him, there in the rubbish, was also dropped a camion load of V supplies, tor which fie should find immediate shelter rora doubtless impending rains. 'Finds Tin Bath Tub. "Alone in T'hieux- Tyner, there fore, hunted about till he founcf half a hole to hold his gc(ods. Then he poked and pulled among the debris, seeking the wherewithal to complete the hole. " ' "Something in the nature of a roof he wanted such as a door, or the sideof a wardrobe, or a pulpit top or a smallish balcony. "He found 'it, of course, and com BLANKETS ! BLANKETS ! BLANKETS I O.

"Very dirty it was; very rusty: very much bent. But as he viewed it his soul expanded with prophetic Joy. To his hole he carried it, ten derly, like a child.- He stripped off hi coat and fell to work. "Till daylight failed he''delved there like a galley slave. Gray dawn saw him up and once more at it. By . noon he had coaxed the gothic dim ples out of its sides, and had so re duced its rust that it shone almost to wickedness. Gets a Stove Next "The because time was short, Tyner ran back through the ruins, , nosing b'ke a truffle hound for his next necessity. Again he found it a not too crippled stove. A third quest provided a vast and ancient kettle that had all too obviously been used for clarifying lard. "Wood there was in plenty all the worn! that had been houses, fur niture, implements half the village in fact. So Tyner, having dragged the tub into his hole, planted the stove just outsidf, built his fire, and put dn his great kettle of water to boil. Then wreathed in an immense content, he ?at himself down to await his1 battalion. "The battation, one thousand strong, had not had a bath for six weeks.

Wellr Heaven might have greater joys; but candt? - Then Officers Arrive. "With the first two or three sy barites, Tyner himself scrubbed their backs. After that, busy with many things, he handed the plant to the bovs. Thev promptly appoint ed a bath squad. Fifty centimes for a back-scrub, and regular bookings for the tub. "The officers, perhaps, seemed trifle slow in the uptake4)ut eventu ally they arrived. And then distin guished behavior! they waivedLtheir right to rank the men out of prior ity.
