Then it developed that he had been gone about six weeks and that young v Wick had driven his cattle away. The brother and Sheriff Leonard ques tioned young Wick and he stated that he had purchased the cattle and that Patterson had gone to Colorado, from which state he had received a letter from him. He couldn't find the letter then, but produced one . some days later purporting to be from the missing man. It was in " the handwriting of young Wick, however.

The sending of the ship was sug gested by Rear Admiral Andrews, commanding American naval forces in the Adriatic. He wrote that the children of Dalmatia needed better , clothing and nourishment than they were receiving and that they did not know what toys were like.

' "Then the quee let them eat cake," said of France when informed people had no bread. In that the similar fashion the people of Amer ica may be called on to eat vegeta bles next year because of a short age of meat that looms dangerously near. With more com and other stock feed on the farms this year than ever, ana with thin cattle suitable! for fattening selling at from $1 to $2 a hundred pounds lower, the farmers cf the middle west are una ble to borrow money with which' to buy cattle to teed. Veal calves and young cattle are going to slaughter instead (of being taken back to the country,1 as in former vears, to be fattened. Cat tlemen declare that lots of thin cows are sold tp the packer's for making canned meat thatj:ould bet ter be sent back to finish up on Ne braska corn and produce calves. For a year and a half this wasteful prac-r tice has been going n, forced in part by the drouth of last year and the hard winter, and more lately by the inability to finance feeding op erations. Tight Money is Cause. A shortage of beef is not a thing that can be quickly made up. Onjce the supplies arc cut down, it wouia require from three to fivp years to build up the herds again. The tight money marked operates in many ways to cut down the production of beef cattle. Not only are farmers experiencing difficulty in obtaining Toans with which to buy stock, but the same condition forces thejn to market cattle that are not ready for slaughter.

In August, when the heavy move ment begins shipments were less than half those of the corresponding month of larsl year. September showed 80,533 head , as contrasted with 123,411 one year ago. Country Banker Burdened. Almost half the feeders sent out from Omaha went to Nebraska points, the figure for October show ing 47,281, a decrease of 18,000 from a year ago. Iowa farmers took 37, 83!, as contrasted with 54,898 in October a year ago. Illinois ship ments were 1,500 head greater, and Wyoming showed shipments of 1,230. a large increase over last year's drouth figure of 203 head. Bankers are unanimous :n seeing no prospect for more generous sup plies of money to finance buying feeders. Country bankers are load id up with loans and are sending their customers to Omaha in hope of obtaining fresh capital. "No reliet is in sight," siys J. C. French, vice president of the Stock Yards National bank. "There will be no fresh capital for feeding- op erations until the money vcan be real ized out of other farm operations. There has as yet been no material liquidations from the wheat and corn crops. In my opinion, the solution depends largely on the farmers themselves. Cattle "loans can only bn increased by reducing other loans. Farmers have enough money tid up in other enterprises from which they are to release themselves at this time to take care of a large part of the present situation." That the farmers?-way of looking at the situation is quite at odds with this is apparent in a letter from the heart of the Nebraska corn belt to a commission dealer at the stock yards. i "There is not much feeding here, although feed was never .better," this farmer writes. "The money powers have crippled the industry. There are lots of farmers here with corn and hay to burn, but they can't get a dollar to buy cattle. Farmers are (Turn to Paaje Two, ColnmiuTwo.)

Move Rap at Republicans By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. llilcafo Tribune-Omaha Be Iaad Wire. Washington, Nov. 13. Demo cratic leaders are endeavoring to in duce President Wilson to return the Versailles peace treaty and league of nations covenant to the senate at the winter session of congress, beginning next month. The underlying purpose in such a move, according to democratic poli ticians, would be to embarrass the republicans, there being no serious thought in the minds of the demo crats that the republicans would per mit ratification of the treaty with reservations now that the "solemn referendum" has convinced them that' the people are ready for a new deal on the peace issue. But the democrats think the presi dent could put some of the pro league republicans in a hole should he resubmit the treaty now with the possible intimation that he acqui esced in the referendum and was willing to leave the treaty to the judgment of the senate. Wilson Unflecided. The suggestion is known to have been considered by the cabinet but without any decision, and the presi dent is said to have an open mind on the proposal. If the treaty is se;it back to the senate, democratic minds figure that the good faith of those who have contended for a league with pro tective reservations, would be put to the test, granting, of course, that democratic senators, freed from ad ministration restraint,; would be willing to vote for ratification. The president's course, they argue, would place a- grave responsibility upon the republicans. Republican leaders who have their ear$ to the ground think that the democrats would be disappointed if the suggestion should be adopted by the president. The republican senators, they insist, would- balk at action on the treaty now, even at the risk of being charged with in consistency, although party leaders have little fear that the public, in view of the overwhelming decision in the league, referendum, would have much thought of inconsistency in view of the fact that the election, if it meant anything, meant that the peace settlement should be under taken by a new pilot, Warren G. Harding, president-elect of the United States. Action Unfair to People. Republicans argue also that it would be unfair to the electorate to take action now before senators who were elected on the issue could have opportunity to be heard in the case. The point will be raised, it is said, that as the next administration must live in the new structure of the proposed association of nations, it should participate in its planning. The, precedent will be cited pf Presi dent Taft's course in leaving the questions of relations with Mexico, which became acute at the very end of his administration, to his suc cessor, although he could well have recognized the defacto government of Mexico. Rumors That Police Safe to Be "Cracked" Put "Cops" on Guard Rumors that the safe in police court room at Central police sta tion was to "cracked" have been re sponsible for the cutting of a window in the partition separating the room lrom the station proper. According to police, approximate ly $25,000 in c-tsh is ordinarily stowed away in the safe, and to any one familiar with the combination it would have been an easy matter to make off with the money. The cutting of the aperture, car ried out under orders from Chief of Police Eberstein and under the direc tion of Lieutenant Marshall, igives the captain and others in the station a clear view of the safe and will make any attempt to burglarize the deposi tory extremely hazardous. Cause for Thanksgiving Set Forth By President in Proclamation Washington, "Nov. 13. President Wilson issued his Thanksgiving proclamation last night, saying that "in plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliaht people face the future" and set aside Thursday, November 25, for the usual obser vances. The text follows: "The season approaches when it behooves us to turn from the dis tractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contem plate the mercies which have been vouchsafed to us and render heart felt and unfeigned thanks unto God for ' His manifold goodness. "This is an .old observance of the American people, deeply , im bedded in our thoughts and habits. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence. "We have abundant cause for thanksgiving. The iessons of the war are rapidly healing. The great army of freemen, which America sent to the defense of liberty, re turning to the grateful embrace of the nation, has resumed the useful pursuits of peace, as simply and ns promptly as it rushed to arms in obedience to the country's cafl. The Chairman of Senate Commit tee Says Co-Operation inGet ting Back to Normal Will Solve House Shortage. (Relief Is Expected Soon United States Senator . L. Cal der, chairman of a committee on re construction and reproduction, stated at the conclusion of a hearing held yesterday in the city council cham ber, that people of all classes in this community should co-operate in every way to stimulate a resump tion of building operations back to normal and to solve particularly the housing problem. "Have courage and get ready for a busy season next year," the sen ator said. "You should co-operate with each other to solve your prob lcnis." He stated that Omaha and its surrounding territory were favored during a time which brought a more marked retardation of building op eations and improvements i't other localities. He referred especially to Omaha's building and loan associa tions, with present . assets of $48,000,000. Leave for Denver. The senator and companions de parted at 4:20 for Denver, where the hearing will be continued on Monday. , The gearings held here yesterday morning and afternoon were prof itable for the information which was brought by representatives of vari ous activities. . T. J. Fitzmorris, speaking for the building and loan associations be fore the committee, asserted that these organizations arc meeting all applications for loans on good se curities. He stated , that building materials have increased from 150 to 200 per cent since 1914 and lie recommended simple life, economy and saving as remedies for a return to normalcy. Plumbing Costs Absorb Reductions. During an exchange of expressions between the senator and Mr. Fitz morris the former stated that the committee had been told in several cities that the increased plumbing, furnace and Steam fitting costs are absorbing the reduction 'in cost of lumber. "I do not anticipate any radical reduction of prices," said the sena tor. "I believe that when people understand prices are nearing their level they will then resume building activities." W. M. Jeffer.3, general manager of th'e Union Pacific railroad, ontlined the - difficulties under which the transportation lines have been work ing since the roads were returned to the owners. He stated that there were more cars worn out than re placements during ' the government management of the lines.

His taskmaster gave him little'' chance to attend school, and on one occasion, Morris declares, lashed him with a blacksnake whip until he was unable to stand. He was later "bound out" to an other farmer but his tondition wa not bettered. He was, "bound out" from farm to farm, forced to do heavy labor from daybreak to dusk, and received not a cent in payment.1 But more unbearable than the la bor was the constant reminder that he was an outcast, an. orphan.
