a point about 20 miles out from
Mutton island, which is five miles
from the -coast of County Clare.
After some rouble with the engine
of the plane the Irish president was
landed on Mutton island near dusk
wet, tired and hurjgry. His follow
ers,' sonic of whom had waited two
days for hiin following a secret
notice f his coming, welcomed him
but did not dare to build a fire to
warm him for fear of the British
watchers who were everywhere.
He was given temporary suste
nance in the shape of bread and wa
ter. Communication through estab
lished channels was maintained with
the mainland and shortly before the

The naming of the messenger fol
lowed a solemn casting of the eight
votes for Harding and Coolidge by
the eight members of the college
meeting for that purpose in the of
fice of Governor McKelvie Monday
noon.
It has been an understanding that
the only two women republican
electors should be commissioned as
messengers, but a later investigation
failed to reveal any federal or state
authorization for more 1 than one
official messenger.
Will Make Trip Together.
. The understanding remains, how
ever, that Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs.
Smith wilHnake the trip to Washing
ton together, with Mrs. Wheeler
nominally the official delegate.
Mrs. Wheeler asked if there was
anything to prevent such action and
was informed that it was a matter
for her to arrange with Mrs. Smith.
The federal government allows 20
cents a mile and a per diem for
electoral messengers enough to take
two delegates to the capital it 'the
law made such a provision;
The first ballot for delegate gave
Mrs. Wheeler six votes to Mrs.
Smiths two, but on motion of Allen
Tukey of Omaha the vote for Mrs.
Wheeler was made unanimous. ;
Members of Electoral College.
I Mrs. Wheeler voted for Mrs.
Smith and Mrs. Smith cast her bal
lot for Mrs. Wheeler. On the vote
for alternate, seven ballotS for Mrs
Smith were cast, Mrs. Smith herself
not voting.
Members of the electoral college
of Nebraska include: A. J. Weaver

HE NATIONAL FUR & TANNING COMPANY manufactures, right "here in Omaha, a sui
prisingly high-grade line of fine fur garments .and make, in their Douglas Street display
room, as classy a showing of beautiful, handsomely made furs as is to be found in the exclusive
Michigan Avenue shops of Chicago or on Fifth Avenue, New York. ,
For a number of years they have been in the habit of sending an annual catalogue 'to persons who j
could not see the goods personally, but their catalogues have heretofore failed to completely convey the j
impression of quality that one gains from a visit to their store and they have not been as successful as j
they might have been from the standpoint of producing business.
Last summer, a representative of the K-B service department happened to see the line and became
greatly impressed with its magnitude and exceptional quality. The possibilities in the way of increased
business that might be brought by a proper presentation loomed large in hismind and Mr. Loomis, the
National's manager, was urged to permit the K-B organization to build him a catalogue that would faith
fully represent the line. 1
He consented, and the book he is now using, with entirely satisfactory results, was the outcome- After a care
ful study of the selling problems involved, the K-B service man went through the stock, selected, with Mr. Loo'mis'
issistance, the numbers that would make the most inviting showing, put them on hand-picked models that were
to the manner born, posed them with painstaking care to bring out the maximum peauty of the garment and the
picture, personally supervised the photographing, with the ultimate result that pictures were secured that did not
require or get the least bit of retouching. They were shown absolutely true to life and with convincing honesty.
The printing plates were made in Omaha under our own supervision and came out splendidly. The text was
written in-an interesting way largely by women writers who knew how to appeal to their sex, a page she was se-
lected that aided materially in creating the general impression of quality and richness, the best' paper that could
be had for the purpose was used and the presswork was of the usual K-B quality.
. That the K-B "hunch" was a good one is evidenced by the stream of orders that the book is producing In spite
of adverse merchandising cbnditions.

If you are interested and would like to check up on any of the statements made here or would like a copy
of the book, call up Mr. Loomis at TyTer 0120 and he wi 11 answer your questions and mail you a copy. ' ,
