Court Dismisses
Car Men's Appeal
On Pay Decision
,
Not Enough Material for New
Trial, Supreme Court Holds
' On Ruling of State Rail
Commission. -
Lincoln, Nov. 17.-(Special.)-The
supreme court today dismissed the
appeal of Ben Short, representing the
Omaha local union of the Amalgama
ted Association of Street and Elec
tric Railway Employes, from an or
der made by the state railway com
mission last year, at the time when
the street railway employes threat
ened to strike for increased wages.
The state railway commission is
sued an opinion at that time stating
that it had the right to establish "a
general schedule of wages sufficient
to attract and secure the necessary
number of men to operate the jys
tem." .
The court, in. dismissing the suit,
made no decision on this point, but
merely held there was not enough
material on which to base an appeal
to the high tribunal. .
The ruling of the commission, on
which the appeal was taken to the
high court, was made in refusing to
grant the Omaha street railway em
ployes an increase in wages.
While the case has been in the su
preme court the street railway men's
wages have been cut about 12 per
cent.

Back hurt you? Can't straighten
up without feeling sudden pains,
sharp aches . and twinges? Now
listen I That's lumbago, sciatica or
maybe from a strain, and you'll get
blessed relief the moment you rub
your back with soothing, penetrat
ing "St. Jacobs Oil." Nothing else
takes out soreness, lameness and
stiffness so quickly. You simply rub
it on and out comes the pain. It is
perfectly harmless and doesn't burn
or discolor the skin.
Limber upl Don t sutler! Get a
small trial bottle from any drug
store, and after using it just once,
you'll forget that you ever had back-1
ache, lumbago or sciatica, because
your back will never hurt or cause
any more misery. It never disap
points and has been recommended
for 60 years.

Character and Individuality
Noiseless

Nothing Else on the Market
Like It
MOTHERS' FATHERS'
Be , sure and bring the children in to see
HAPPY DUCKY QUACK the cutest, most
novel and most tlu-illing toy on the market.
Let them ride on the back of a REAL DUCK!
Listen to their squeals of DELIGHT. Watch
their antics on the wonderful toy.
Never b'efore in the history of the toy industry
has a toy given the Children such thrills. Chil
dren of ali ages go simply wild over it. Little
tots of 2 and 3 years, seeing the brilliant colors
with which DUCKY QUACK is painted and
the comic expression on DUCKY'S face drop
everything, and say 'Me wants DUCKY!"
And what can you do with such an appeal?
Just one of two things. Either buy Baby a
Duck or else spank Baby. You can have your
choice. . 7 - 7 ' t
The Toymaker's Masterpiece
; One look at this delightful toy will convince you of
its superiority. Its pleasing originalty and life-like
design will delight you almost as much as it does' .
the children. On close examination its unusual
workmanship will appeal to your practical side.
Here is the toy that helps to solve the question
what shall we get the children this Christmas? 7
The SWIVEL STEERING WHEEL is a unique feature of
DUCKY QUACK. Notice how it works. Whichever way
the child desires to go the motion of his body takes him there
to the left to the right or all the way around. The
SWIVEL STEERING WHEEL instantly responds to his
slightest wish. If he wants to go backward the SWIVEL
WHEEL flips around and back he goes. The wheel cannot
get cross-wise or cramp or throw the little one on his head.
Fast or slow it's all the same. ?
Noiseless Disc Rubber Wheels
Nearly every mother knows the nerve-racking clatter made
by wooden wheels when the children have to play indoors.
Both Mother and Daddy try to console themselves for the
scratches and mars in the polished floors by thinking of the
fun the kiddies are having, ! but when HAPPY DUCKY
QUACK comes into the house the clatter goes out. This toy
is equipped with DISC RUBBER WHEELS. They are almost
noiseless and positively will not mar the finest floor.
Dealers Here's a Real Money Maker for You
Between now' and Christmas thousands of these Ducks will be sold.
We are Just now startino; an extensive advertising campaign In this ter
ritory We want a few live, up-to-the-minute dealers and we have a real
