Not all the wheat is eaten in a day, and according to this view, the nation will have to find some other way than rushing all the wheat atrl corn to market as soon after harvest ing as possible. "Our grain crops have grown so large that they ran't be moved like they used to bj, in six months,' said George W. Holdrege, general manager of the Chicago, Burliugton and Quincy railroad, yesterday. "Now, with their greater volume, and the general increase in transporta tion requirements of all other in dustries, the movement can be ex pected to last the year round. Elevator Capacity Limited.

This is com ing to be recognized by the farmers themselves, and they are quite gen erally installing farm elevators or bins of their own. I have not heard of any grain being piled on the ground recently." . The answer to the question of how farmers are to finance the holding of their crop may necessitate some new methods of credit, Mr. Holdrege in dicated. In many cases grain grow ers require ready money to pay tneir bills to the dountry merchants. The - desire to rush to market is in many rases not voluntary, but the result of 1 financial pressure, it is pointed out.

Storage Room for 1920 Corn t.rop rerpiexing ranners , The question of where the fanners of Nebraska are going to put the 1920 corn crop this year is said to be more important just now than he probable prices, according to F R. Ancon of North Bend, who was a visitor at the stock yards Friday. "Opinion is general," said Mr. Ancon, "that in most of the corn , counties along the Union Pacific in Wvfcraslc farmers still have about 30 i.An fit lact var's rmn in their -riha iaitiir it u-as finmnrd at llUSK- ,!n tm anit in mm Inrplitlr farm- irs sav they have over 60 per cent left- , "The car shortage is said to be the cause of elevators refusing to ac cept grain and crib space will be so overtaxed it may be necessary to store this year's corn under sheds and on the ground." , ,. - New School for Factory Men Organized Last Night Classes in Omaha's newest school, giving vocational training to fore- . men and heads of departments in the factories here, were organized . . ... , f . f - , last night.

Man Opposes Exile Love for Children ; Prompts Father to Endeavor to Stay In U. S. After Wife Goes. Rather than share the fate of his wife, who is now at Ellis island awaiting deportation to Europe be cause she is incurably insane, Dan Straza, 3U, South Side, with tears streaming from his eyes and his two children' huddled close ;. to him, Legged C. V. Harrow, of the local immigration office to help him ob tain a divcrce from his. wife so tha he could remain in this country and educate his children properly. The children who will have to leave the land of iieir auontion be cause of the immigration law ruling that when one member of a family of aliens is ordetcd deported the re maining members are governed by the same order, are Mary, 4, . au. John, fi. Because of these children the father is willing to sacrifice his love for his" wife and sever all ties with her The Strazas came to the United States five years ago and moved to houth Omaha. Two months ago Mis. Straza lost her mind and was taken to the asylum at Lincoln. When her condition was pronounced incurabte she ' was sent to Ellis island for deportation.

The country where she was born is now "in the hands of Roumania, but even Roumania refuses to accept the woman. Women Help Cupid Break Marriage License Record Everything has gone up. Even marriages. The records in "Cupid" Stttbbendorff's office show that 25 per cent more marriage licenses were issued for the first nine months of 1920 than in the corresponding period of any previous year. The total licenses issued for the 9 months was 2,914, but two licenses short of the number issued for the entire year of 1917, the record year up to the present. Mr. Stubbendorf does not assign any scientific reason for the unprece dented boom in marriages, such as the decrease in Fords, or grocery items, or the new styles that are making the fair sex fairer and more attractive than ever. But he states that the women are taking the initi ative and are proposing or giving plenty of leads for the men to pop the question. , Bathers in Carter Lake .

Omahan Chances Upon Relative At Station In European Town This is a mighty small world, after ill is the impression gained by Nikodemus Dagazewski of Omaha, who left for Europe last July to visit his native city, Danzig, Poland. The Omahan landed. in Antwerp and was proceeding on his trip when the train stopped at Doit, He alighted and walked about the sta tion for relaxation. His American appearance attracted the attention of a man who was standing near by and this man engaged him in casual conversation. The stranger had relatives in America, too. They were in Nebras ka. What part? Oh, in Omaha. Dagazewski was the name of the relatives. It developed that the stranger was the nephew of the Omahan, and the nephew in a letter to Miss Mary Dagazewski, chief clerk in the of fice of the clerk of the district court, explained why the Omahan was so late in arriving at his destination.
