THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 29, 1920 V V Egg Famine Looms; It's Up to Winter UOJners to Halt it V.oh Storage Iutcrests Kepor Shortage of More Than - 1.000,000 Cases Prices liegin to Jump.' By EARL M. WHITNEY. U is reported that cold storage interests are vshort about 1,000,000 cases of crrs over last year. . This would indicate the possibility of an -gg famine should the winter layers iail to do their full duty. Coupled with this condition is the fact that there is a shortage of stock, many poultry breeders having already dis posed of all the surplus stock on hand and being unable to fill further orders. , Eggs are going up in price. Pur- hasers of strictly fresh eggs in Chi-' cago last week, paid as high as $1.25 per dozen. With the prospect of an egg shortage, it would seem an ab solute necessity that new laid eggs be rushed as rapidly as possible to big cities if the- usual demand is to be met. Feed Meat Scraps.. At last back-lot poultry raisers are confronted with ideal conditions so far as profitable poultry raising goes an unprecedented demand for, fresh eggs at good prices and a very noticeable decrease in the cost of production due jto decreased feed prices. " ? "Don't kill the laying hen," is a slogan that should be adhered to this winter as never before. It was a comparatively few years 'o that the commercial meat scrap product became known to poultry men. Once started, however, fhe results in, increased egg production soon made the product indispensable. Experimental stations all over the country have, proven the importance of meat scraps in egg production and strongly advocate their use either separately or in the regular v dry mash mixture. Meat scraps provide the animal protein that builds bone and muscle and makes strong, vigorous and productive birds, v A high-grade meat scrap is clean, pure and sweet; it is made ofx;lean meat trimmings from butcher, shops and is thoroughly cooked, every pos sible bit of grease and water1 being extracted. In feeding meat scraps, care must be exercised to see that only high-grade, fresh scraps arc used, as tainted scraps will cause great injury. . Sprouted Oats. Don't overlook the necessity of green food for the layers. Remem ber that the 'winter feed must be as near as possible like tnat which hens secure on free range in the spring time the'natural laying season. This means that green food should be supplied in some form and sprouted oats is perhaps the best and most simple formln which it can be given. Soak the oats over night in hike warm water, transferring to the oats sprotter while they are still wet. Maintain a temperature around 60 (Wrees and place the sprouter where light will strike it, so tnat the oats will grow green. It iswell to, stir the grain 'daily as this has a tendency to increase suc culencyv One bushel of oats will make from two to three bushels of the sprouted product. If there is one breed more than any other which lias predominated through all these years of "changing fashions" in foVU, it is the Plymouth Rock of the barred variety. The favorite fowl of the farmer as a general rule, is the Barred Plymouth Rock. , There is scarcely a farm anywhere upon which you will fail to find a representative of this .grand old variety. - The cockerels mature early and are of good weight.. "The vital ity and hardiness of the Barred Rock is unexcelled. The hens are, good' layers and the efes are brown and of good size Italian Premier Would -imprison Bomb Plotters Rome, Nov. 28. Premier Giolitti introduced a bill in the chamber of deputies which would make any per son found with bombs or other ex plosives in his possession liable to severe penalties.

On second of fense the guilty person would be condemned" to forced domicile. Per rons surrendering bombs and explo sives to the police within 20 days from the measure's approval would be exempt. .ihers f Committee . - Cf 100 Ask Passports Washington, Nov. 28.

Mystery Surrounds Jewelry Puzzle of Chicago divorcee C'bicago, Nov. 28. Edwin , C. Erickson,, wealthy clothing merchant, met, admired and fell for Miss Helen Do , Woody, a lovely divorcee. Although he is married and the fatti er of two children, he gave Miss De Woody jewelry valued at $6,850, and even paid all hefpxpenscs on a vacation trip to California. Then he repented, confessed to Mrs. Erickson and consulted Lee Corey, a friend, and Edward J. Adler a lawyer, as to the Jjrst method to get back the jewels. But a mystery remains in the dis appearance of the. jewelry from Miss De Woody's apartments on the morning of November 11. She told the police she suspected Erickson and he was locked up. He produced all the jewelry except a $2,000 diamond ring, but denied taking any of it. He said he suspected Adler. Adler was locked up. Then it was shown that Corey introduced Erick son to Adler and Corey was flung into the hoosgow. Denials came from all directions and the court will have to tackle the puzzle. The three men are out under bonds of $3,000 each, but the $2,000 diamonti has not yet put in an appearance. 'little Entente" Looks to America for Financial Stability New York, Nov. 28. The "little entente," composed of Czecho slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and Roumania, look to the United States to restore the financial and economic stability of central Europe, asserted Dr.Bro rick Stephanek, first minister from Czecho-Slovakia to the United States, on his arrival. , He explained that the "little en tente" will not conflict with the leagoe of nations and that it was formed to combat radical elements of the Magyars 'and to affect a realignment of the finaniial system of central Eu rope. He said it would not 'deal wit matters of industrial importance be yond their own boundaries. England, France and Italy are powerless to. cope with the problems of financial and industrial readjust ment and it devolves upon the United States as the world's largest creditor to extend its infloence in normalizing conditions, he declared. Charge d'Affaires Denies He Will Attend Inauguration ' Mexico City., Nov. 28. Newspa per reports that the American charge d'affaires, George T. 'Suni merlin, had accepted an official in vitation to attend the inauguration ceremonies December 1 were denied, the charge asserting he is awaiting instructions from Washington. Un less he is ordered to attend, he says, it will be impossible 'for him to be present, inasmuch as this act un doubtedly would be construed 'as im plying recognition of the Qbregon government. Members of the diplomatic corps here, except for representatives of governments which already have rec oenized the newi Mexican reeime. are in a quandar over the inaugura tion.

The old chronicle states that in the migrations westward of the Indian tribes, one of them came to the Mississippi' river south of its junction with the Missouri. There the tribe di vided. ' The less active and adventurous portion embarked down the stream, adopting a name indicative of their drifting. The stronger andjbraver half decided to turn its canoes up the river, and took the name "Omahaw' meaning "against the stream." This is, the tribe which ultimately settled along the Missouri river and gave the city of Omaha its name. s i ' 3$ The implication of conscious purpose, of driving force overcoming all obstacles, has not been lost sight of. , Long after the original meaning of the name has been forgotten, "Onward Omaha" is still the watchword. It is more than a coincidence that a thousand business men are to hold a meeting next Thursday night to emphasize that slogan and to plan for future civic progress. That ban quet, arranged bjrthe Chamber of Commerce, will have a list of speakers, every one enthusiastic with tte-visions of the possibilities of municipal growth. Out of this coming to gether of practical minds is expected to flow increasingly prosperity, comfort and1 welfare for the whole population. V V V Co-operation every last Indian of us bending to the oars working together that we may all defy the current, the eddies and whirlpools of misunderstanding and petty jeal ousies such will be the tenor of each address. From Chicago will come a banker to talk on the funda mentals of business and certainly one (jf the basic necessities of modern industry is a mutual sense of the responsibility ot employer and employe. An Omaha minister has chosen as his theme, "Onward Omaha," and no doubt will touch on some of the spiritual qualities that make for real greatness. A local banker will talk on Omaha's Future' not, be it noted, on the past, or even the present, but on the objective of the struggle upstream. Finally, one of our merchants will sum it all up in an address, "Let's Do It." j ifr Sfa 3$ i v Oufof this Onward Omaha movement will come a more cqneentrated purpose, a moje constructive attitude toward the' problems of our city There is a spirit of optimism bred in such conferences that is a greatly needed factor in this time. "The key to continued prosperity in Amfrica is in the eeping of its business men," as Victor Murdock, chairman of the federal trade commission recently remarked. "That key is optimism, that fine quality of mind which does not fail to remember the rainy day to come and does not, when the rainy1 day has come, despair pf the sun." Mr. Murdock added another thought to this speech, sa ing : "I ask you as one red-blooded American talking to other red-blooded Americans to remember that our first duty is to, the dear old public. The one place of pre-eminent stability in this world of travail is our country.' Weve got the best government God ever gave man to administer. We're liere to serve our fellow man and to move humanity a little forward and a little upward, with fear in our hearts of God, oui maker and our master."' ' Sfc 9& I The eastern business men to whom this was addressed applauded vigorously, recognizing their responsibility toward the nation. It is in 4ie selfsame spirit that the business men fcf Omaha, big and little, are joining in this Onward Omaha conference for a bigger, better, more beautiful X)maha. ' W. H. AHMANSON. Pre. W, L.
