Iowa Hotel Men Indicted
Through Omaha Officers
The recent indictment of A. A.
Cooper, V. F. Cooper and Thil
Ryder, official of the Hotel Julien,
Dubuque, la., was brought about by
Omaha internal revenue officer
v orking under direction of James J.
Drakeford, revenue agent in charge
of the Omaha division which collects
income and other federal taxes from
Nebraska and Iowa.
The amount the government
claims from the defendants, together
with penalties and interest, is $351,
444.87 up to date.
The defendants were indicted by a
federal grand jury on charges of
false and fraudulent income tax re
turns and perjury.
The government claims the hotel
made big profits in 1919 and 1920
although the return made to the gov
ernment tax collectors showed a loss.
It is said-many of the small stock
holders sold their stock for as little
as 25 cents on the dollar upon this
showing of loss.

A Silly. Song
: Oh King Solomon was puzzled,
great decisions he had made, but
tpw sprung a question on him and
,' 6 couldn't make the grade. He had
picked the real mother of a baby
in dispute. And the whole darned
world admitted that old Sol. was
pretty cute. Then they ushered in
f flapper to King Solomon's domain
?and said, "Oh Sol, they tell Os that
this being has a brain, and now will
you please tell us. man of wisdom,
great and true, what she does with
her gray matter? We are stumped'
we're asking you." Solomon he
tqbk that flapper and he talked to
her a week. Weighty words of won
drous wisdom to that flapper did he
speak and he asked her many ques
tions. Then he sadly, shook his
head and he said to those who waited,
"if she has one it is dead.'

How Nimbi Helped.
Billy Woodrhuck and Fatty Coon
had coma early to Jimmy Fabhit'i
party. And Jimmy had told them to
nana their hats and roati upon h

Deer'a antlers. But when they tried
to do as they were bid. they found
that the antlers were beyond their
reach.
Of course jiinmv Rabbit was most
uncomfortable. He roughed and
gave Nimble a very odd look. He
even nodded his head at Nimble be
hind his guests' barks, thereby doing
his best to give Nimble a hint to
lower his head.
But Nimble Deer couldn't imagine
what Jimmy Rabbit meant. Hadn't
Jimmy warned him not to move not
even to open his mouth, or chew hi
cud, or wink? So Nimble itood
like a statue. '
"I I see my new hatrack is too
high," Jimmy Rabbit stammered.
"Let me take your hata and coat
and I'll hang them up for you white
you go and wt for the rt of the
comj any over by th tep wall!"
M B.lly Woodrhuck and Fatty
Coon gavt their hat and coal to
Jimmy,
That' a fina deer'a head Fatty
remarked, "It em to n I'm ee

-J'erhapat IVrhapiT Jimmy Rabbit
answered. He wuhed hi (U(M
would move a ay.
"ThM antler remind roe of Nim
ble Deer'a." Billy Woodrhuck re
marked. And he gave Nimbi a
wink, for he had quickly guened
the secret of the hatrack and how
Jimmy had planned to have Nimble
at the party and yet keep him out of
the crowd.
-Is this deer'a head Muffed H Billy
Wnodchuik aked Jimmy Rabbit.
Terhaptf Perhaps!" Jimmy mut
tered. "Move along please.
Nimble wanted to return that wink
that Billy Woodchuck cave him. But
he didn't. becaue Jimmy Rabbit had
warned him to keep perfectly still.
As soon as hi suest had left them
Jimmy whispered to Nimble, "Lower
your heal a bit, lor pity a saker
Nimble promptly obeyed him. And
Jimmy Rabbit hung the hata and
coat upon Nimble' antler.
"Now," Jimmy said, "keep your
head exactly where it is!"
"I suppose I may raise it after
everybody ha come to the party,"
Nimble ventured.
"No! That would never do." Jim
my Rabbit replied firmly. "If any
body happened to come back to get
a pocket handkerchief out of hi coat
he'd be ure to notice the difference."
A igh escaped Nimble Deer.
"My neck will ache before the eve
ning' over," he aid. "Couldn't I
take a short walk in the woods, later,
to rest myself?"
"My goodne, no!" Jimmy cried.
"You d be ure to lose ome of the
hats and coat or tear them on ome
briars, or get them full of burs."
"How long is the party going to
last?" Nimble asked.
"Only till midnight!"
At that Nimble gave a groan.
"S-s-hl" Jimmy Rabbit laid a paw
to his lips. "Keep still! Stuffed ani
mals never talk. If you don't look
out somebody will hear you."
And then be hurried away to join
his guests. He did not want to
leave them alone too long. He
feared thev miel.t be saying thing?
to each other about his new hat rack.
