Tariff Measure
Gets Riglitof-Way
hi House Today
Proponents Confident of Pas
sage of Bill Declaring Virtual
Embargo on Importation
Of Farm Products.1
Washington, Dec. 21. The Ford
ney emergency tariff measure, de
signed to protect some 20-odcl farm
products by virtually stopping their
importation through heavy duties,
will be called up in the house tomor
row under a special rule giving it
right of way and limiting debate.
Although a hard fight is expected,
proponents of ,the bill, declared to
night its passage by the house was
certain. Its i fate, however, in the
senate h regarded as somewhat
doubtful. ; '
In the first test vote, advocates
of the special tariff legislation won
a signal victory by adopting, 206 to
76, a motion to suspend the busi
ness calendar Wednesday so as to
bring the bill to' a vote tomorrow
before adjournment. There will be
no opportunity to include other ar
ticles by amendment.
The bill was denounced in the
house as "special class legislation"
by Representative Madden, repub
lican, of Illinois, who declared that
its "unwisdom must be manifest to
everybody." t
The purpose of the measure, Mr.
Madden said, was to legislate on a
few articles and to eliminate from
consideration many other articles in
the hands of thousands of dealers.
The only other reference to it on the
floor was by Representative Long
worthrepublican, of Ohio, who said
it was needed to save important ag
ricultural interests "from stark and
certain ruin." ' '

Packers Ask Court
To Approve Plan for
Sale of Stock Yards
Washington, Dec. 21. Cotjnsel for
Swift & Co., and Armour & Co.,
asked Justice Stafford in the district
supreme court today to approve a
plan for disposition of their stock
yard interests similar to that propos
ed by F. H. Prince & Co., Boston
bankers, and to give the companies
time in which to find a new buyer
in place of the Boston company,
which has withdrawn its offer.
The government lia asked , that
trustees be named to sell the stock
yard property and supporting this
proposal, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Kressel opposed the suggestion
to extend time for a new purchaser
tayiug that 10 months bad elapsed
and no constructive plan to divest
the packers of control had been
brought forward. He denied that
the government had acted in any bad
faith, as intimated by counsel for the
packers, who claimed that the de
partment had apparently approved
the general outlines of the sale plan
proposed by the companies.

Kearney Normal
Enrollment Gains
Attendance Report Shows In
crease for First Time in
Several Years.
f
Lincoln. Neb., Dec 21. Enroll
ment at the state normal school at
Kearney, which during the last few
years has steadily declined, is on the
increase, according to the eighth
biennial report of George F. Martin,
president, to the state board of edu
cation and Governor McKelvie. The
establishment v of correspondence
and study center courses have been
especially popular during the last
two months, the report shows.
On December 1, the report states,
there were 681 students enrolled for
study at the Kearney school. Of
this number, 302 were students re
ceiving instruction through the ex
tension department. One hundred
and twenty-nine students are re
ceiving correspondence "courses and
173 attend the study centers estab
lished in 25 towns and villages sur
rounding Kearney. Students at the
study centers are instructed Friday
evenings and Saturday by teachers
sent fromthe institution.
During the biennium the state in
creased the campus of the Kearney
school o that it now has an area
of approximately SO acres. Mr,
Martin suggests that the state pur
chase additional land to the extent
of about one block. '
The most imminent need of the
Kearney school, Mr. Martin says, is
that of suitable dormitory facilities to
house students.

520,000,000 in BUTTER
In days gone by, "butter making" was one i the humblest of
kome chores. It was a drudgery to nearly every boy of the farm
or of the city whose father kept a cow. Peck's Bad Boy and the
world-loved Tom Sawyer have, furnished all of us with many a
hearty laugh in which the "old churn" held a central figure.
Today butter making" is a craftsman's art. It is a great indus
try, and Omaha is Home to the .greatest of all of these Master
Craftsmen. For Omaha is the greatest butter producing city ii
the world. "
It isn't possible for one to travel to far off cities or to even the
little cross road Inns of the thinly settled sections and not find
Omaha-Made Butters. Everywhere Omaha's quality butter is
the preference. Think what a great asset this industry is to
Omaha, and of the work being done by these Craftsmen.
During 1920 more than 30,000,000 pounds, or $20,000,000.00 worth
1 of butter was made in Omaha. The quota for 1921 is 50,000,000
pounds. Help to push Omaha onward, she 'deserves it, and with a
Greater Omaha you can depend upon your own greater success.

There has been general comment upon the striking beauty of the Bran
deis Stores during the holiday season. Who did it t Phil Armour, admitted
ly one of America's best window and store decorators, and his splendid corps
of assistants. You see, Brandeis Stores believe in giving bouquets to the liv
ing, and Phil Armour has many bouquets "coming to him."
Writing in the Omaha "Examiner," Alfred Sorenson, the Omaha his
torian, pays this deserved tribute to the work of the Brandeis Stores window
and store decorating department:
"Entering one of Omaha's largest department stores one day last week, on
business bent, I hurried eastward down the center aisle and stopped "abruptly.
Had I been mysteriously transported to the frozen lands of. the north pole and
Greenland, the home of good old Santa Claus? I seemed to be in a dense forest
of snow flecked evergreens. Ahead lay vast fields and mountains of Ice and snow and
just leaving his cold, wintry home for balmy Omaha was good old St. Kick himself
ia a toy laden sleigh drawn by eight prancing reindeers. I rubbed my eyes and
found I was in reality in Brandeis Stores and the illusion had been-caused by the
clever work of the store decorator, waese lovely cathedra) decorstlois ef last year
are well remembered.'. The huge painting of the frozen north extending across the
entire front of the store 1b a wonderful piece of work and the figures of old Santa
aud his dashing reindeer very realistic On alternate pillars down the aisles are huge
evergreen trees (painted), their branches whitened with freshly fallen snew and
brightened with red lights, while on the other pillars are immense wreaths of green
festooned with ropes ef red fringe and illuminated at either side with tall red cathe
dral capdles in wrought iron brackets. Concealing the arc lights of the store are fes
toons of red and'gmn with long fringe of irrldescent beads. The effect of the whole is
very beautiful and unusual, and has caused many explanations ef delight from custo
mers, as also have the beautiful window decorations."
