Norris Named
Patronage Head
For Nebraska
Congressional Delegation Will
Confer With Howell and Me
Cloud Before Recommend
ing State Appointments.
Washngton, D. C, Nov. 27. (.Spe
cial.) Senator George V Norris,
by the action of the republican
members of the Nebraska delegation
in congress, was niaiie chairman of
the committee oi patronage follow
ing an extended conference by the
members in the Senator Norris'
rooms in the senate office building,
fcvery republican m the delega
tion was present and a veritable love
feast ensued as the members greet
ed one another and extended con
gratulations over a victory unpre
cedented in the political history of
the United States.
Congressman JelTcris, who is
looked upon as using the best of
judgment, suggested that while he
was in favor of the delegation con
trolling the patronage he thought
it would be a good idea to consult
the chairman of the republican state
committee and the member of the
national committee from Nebraska
on all matters affecting federal ap
pointments. He outlined the methods employed
. by the Iowa delegation in settling
controversies, growing out of fed
eral appointments which has since
come to be known as the ''Iowa
idea," and thought it would be a
good thing if all federal appoint
ments could be agreed upon by a
vote of the delegation plus the sug
gestion of National Committeeman
Howell and State Chairman Mc
Cloud. The members of the delegation
talked about individual cases of
merit for various office, but all fi-
- nally agreed to,"Big Jeff's" proposi
tion to settle ;fll patronage by vote
after full consideration has been
given to the wishes of Mr. Howell
and Mr. McCloud. The subject dl
presidential postmasters was dis
cussed, but ik) conclusion was
reached in view of the fact that an
executive order stands in the way of
any action on postmaster appoint
ments. It was the opinion that until
the new president should abrogate
the orderof President Wilson, rela
tive to civil service examinations for
presidential postoffices. it was prema
ture to dscuss the matter.
After nearly two hours' confer
' ence the delegation adjourned sat
isfied that they had laid the founda
tion for harmony in disposing of
. patronage problems. During the
conference it was unanimously
agreed that the delegation should
recommend the continuance of C. E.
Burnriam of Norfolk as a director in
i the regional branch of the federal
reserve bank at Omaha, a position
which Mr. Burnham has filled since
the establishment of the federal re
serve system.

Omaha Parson Spent Youth Hoover Expected
As Sailor Boy in British Navy lo bpeak Here
In Keliei Lrusade
'A Skipper True and Blue,'
Was Wilfrid N. Wallis
Days When He Sailed
The Seven Seas.
Not many years ago a rollicking,
roaming sailor lad gained wide pop
ularity among his British shipmates
for his leadership amoner'them on
adventurous .travels o'er the seven
seas and thrfcugh foreign lands.
He was known as Sailor Wallis.
and in the vernacular of a sea roam-
er was a skipper, true and blue.
Whether it was "swob deck" or
"hoist the halyards," Sailor Wallis
was on duty with his initiative as a
leader.
Today Sailor Wallis shines among
the congregation of Lefler Meth
odist Episcopal church, South Side,
as Kev. Wilfrid N. Wallis.
For he has taken to the ministry
with large success.
"My practical education in the
British navy among care-free com
rades throughout the world has been
of great benefit to me in my work,"
he declares. "I learned ' to know
men as they arc. My travels have
been as tables."
Dr. Wallis preached his first ser
mon" when 17 years old in the old
pulpit of Plymouth Dock church in
England, first occupied by John
Wesley, founder of Methodism.
The text was "For Me to Live in
Christ." r
Dr. Wallis came to America 10
years ago and occupied 'the pulpit at
Greeley, Neb. Later he was trans
ferred to Oakland, Neb., and last
spring was appointed to take charge
h ll -II
bJiJ I,, .11
Rev. W. N. Wallis.
of the Lefler M. E. church at
teenth and Madison streets.
Dr. Wallis is a firm believer in the
connection of business with religion.
His artistic qualities as a painter has
helped him much in advertising
church services, he says. He has
sold several of his choice paintings.
Rev. Wallis' plan to build a com
munity church featuring a gymna
sium, parlors for the young folks
and classes of instruction in general
lines of education has beerl recom
mended by the dignitaries of the
Methodist church in Nebraska.
Work on the project will probably
begin in spring, the building to be
located near Brown park.'
Former Food Administrator
Heading Campaign to Save
Lives of 3,500,000 Starving
Children in Europe.
Herbert Hoover is expected to
come to Omaha December 11 in be
half of the crusade to save the lives
of 3,500,000 children who stand in
peril of starving to death in Europe
this winter. ,
Gurdon W. Wattles, formerly fed
eral food administrator for Nebras
ka, who has, at the repuest of Mr.
Hoover, become state chairman of
the Literary Digest Child Feeding
fund, announced yesterday that Mr.
Hoover is trying to arrange to be
here and speak at the Chamber of
Commerce and the Palimpsest club.
Ten dollars will save the life of a
child. Mr. Wattles wrote out his
check for enough to save 101), and
then wrote to his former associates
in the state food-administration ask
ing their assistance. He also has ap
pointed a state committee, most of
them proniiiient'war wofkers, to aid
in preventing the slaughter of the
innocents. There will be practically
no personal solicitation, but contri
butions ranging- from $10 to $r",(H)0
may be sent to Mr. Wattles,1 in care
of the United States National bank
at Omaha. f
State Committee.
The state committee, which will
meet in Omaha if Mr. Hoover comes,
follows, with Mr. Wattles as chair
man: Governor S. R. McKclvie,
Mayor Ed P. Smith, Nelson B. Up
dike, Harry Doorley, Joseph Polcar,
Charles T. Neal, Mrs. Charles T.
Kountze, Ward Burgess, Frank Jud
son, John L. Kennedy, Mrs. A. L.
Reed. Mrs. C. M., Wilhelm, Mrs. II.
11. Baltlridge, Mr. Luther Kountze,
Frank Judson, Gould Dietz, W. 15.
Tagg, Will Owen Jones of Lincoln,
A. C. Lau of Lincoln, Herbert K.
Gooch of Lincoln, Frank Hammond
of Fremont and Mrs. E. A. Ryan of
Grand Island.
"The campaign is now on, and it
must he a short and a quick one,''
said Mr. Wattles. "It is an appeal
to the heart and conscience of the
people without very much personal
solicitation. I have been asking
money for public affairs for the last
30 years and this time 1 am going
to try a different system of present
ing tiic need and letting the men who
have the means volunteer their aid.
"As sure as there is a heaven, I
don't believe it will ever be the rest
ing place of a man who refuses an
appeal such as that rf the hungry
and freezing children of the old
world. A prominent business man
called me up to say that this hat
I been a very poor year for him and
I that he had not made any monev.
He's worth $1,000,000, but (he didn't
see how he could give any of it to
this charity. I asked him if one of
his neighbor's children was dying
for lack of food whither he would
not feel that he ought to help. He
said he would, ami 1 then pointed
out that there were j,500,00( neigh
bor children suffering over the water
waiting, for succor, and he promised
to reconsider his refusal.
"Mr. Hoover, in his six years' of
war work, has won the confidence
of the world, lie has handled over
$2,000,000,000 of relief funds with a
total expense of less than one-eighth
of 1 per cent. There i:. no question
of the efficiency with which this
child feeding fund will be bundled.
Between now and January, Ameri
cans must give $2.1,001 ,000 if these
children overseas are to live."

Read Carefully and Draw Your Own Conclusion
Rushville, Neb., Nov. 18, 1920.
Oakford Music Co.
Gentlemen:
Allow me to introduce myself in this way. I am very much
interested in a piano, and have a prospective buyer in view for one
and would like to know if you could make it worth while to throw
the deal your way, for I'm most positive I can.
( This buyer wishes me to make the selection for them, and
come with them, but things may be so I cannot do so, but would
you commission me as a deputy agent without my coming there?
I have sold before from . . .
Hoping to hear from you by return mail, so I may write to
them if you and I cannot come to terms.
Yours truly,
Mrs. :
P. S. Pardon for not mentioning, this buyer wishes to pay
cash. 1 have in mind for him a walnut, medium size, price from
$400 to $j50. Can you furnish this?
Our Reply
Nov. 2Sih, 1920.
Mrs
Rushville, Neb.
Dear Madam: ' r
Your letter of the 18th just received and we see you have a
-ish customer fo:- a piano, but operating our piano department on
strictly one-pr'ce, no-commission basis, we cannot make it an
object for you to interest yourself in' our piano. In fact, we mark
nyr goods in plain figures at the lowest possible prices and we also
T.iarantee these prices to every customer of a new piano until May
1st, 1921. In other words, we are giving to the customer himself
the benefit of quality, price, commission and everything, so there is
nothing left for a third party. However, we thank you for your
letter, and of course, if we paid a commission to anyone, we would
do so with you.
Most any other music store will pay you a commission for your
prospect, whether you are present at the sale or not, but, remem
ber, the customer is invariably the One who suffers, as commission
paying dealers must, of necessity, inflate their prices in order to
take care of the commission. -
It just occurred to us that this particular customer that you
have might be a dear friend and is trusting you in the matter and
you would like to see to it that he gets a dollar's worth of piano for
every dollar he spends. If this be the case, then you will surely
refer him to us and recommend the Oakford Music Company,
mainly because we do not pay commissions and can furnish your
customer such famous makes as Kurtzmann, Weber, Cable, Had
dorf f, Conover, Clarendon, Kingsbury, etc. Hoping that you will for
get th? commission and let us hear from you again, we are,
Faithfully yours,
