No WOOL MART IF BRYAN WINS
Democratic Victory Will Cheat Omaha

WORD COMES OUT OF CHICAGO

Success Would Remove Tariff,

the tariff, as the leaders say they will.

assist in putting the schedules back to the
old basis, there will he no wool warehouse
nor market in Omaha"
This report has come out from Chicago
and that the wool covers feel the success
Of the association warehouse depends on

tariff on wool is confirmed by Charles II.
King, president of the Omaha Wool and
Warehouse company, and j. A. Delfelder.

association.
The present tariff on secured wool is II
cents, which makes the tariff on wool I'm
the grease 4 cents. Were it not for the
present schedule The wool growing in
dustry in the west would not have reached
the present stage as the wool growers
claim they remember only too well when
they were selling wool for 4, ar and at
outside So cents during the good old
democratic times"
Tarin the BuIwark.
Were 1t not for the protective tariff
foreign grown woods could be sold in the
United States for much less than they are
at present and a corresponding cut would
be made in the price paid by manufac-
turers for the western woods.
It is said one Of the chief issues between
the wool growers Of the west and the
manufacturer is whether the tariff is to
be removed from wool.
This fear has been haunting the WOO
growers Of the west all summer. Under
the present system the poor sheep men
have become sheep barons and early in the
year the question was asked by the sheer
men of Wyoming, Montana and Colorado
who visited Omaha, viii the democrats
be successful and take the tariff of
wool?'
This was the question which was asked
the Omaha trade boosters when they went
into Wyoming, At every station wher,
the wool business was mentioned it was
win the tariff come off WOOL"
From the wool growers standpoint if
would be nothing less than a calamity tC
have an administration elected which
could reduce the tariff 10, such a point
that the wool growing business would be
as profitless as il was twelve years ago,

CHAPTER XII.
I Receive a Call.

Going to bed at three o'clock on a
winter morning in a house whose
ways are disquieting, after a duel in
which you escaped whole only by
sheer good luck, does not fit one for
sleep. When finally drew the covers
over me 1t was to lie and speculate
upon the events of the night in con-
nection with the history of the few
weeks | had spent at Glenarm. Larry
had suggested in New York that Pick
ering was playing some deep game,
and /, myself, could not accept Pick
ering's statement that my grandfath-
er's large fortune had proved to be
myth. If Pickering had not stolen or
dissipated it, where was it concealed?
Morgan was undoubtedly looking for
something of value or he would not
risk his life in the business; and it
was quite possible that he was EN-.
ployed by Pickering to search for hid
den property. This idea took strong
hold of me, the more readily, fear.
since had alwaye been axious to see
evil in Pickering. There was, to be
sure, the unknown alternative heir.
but neither she nor Sister Theresa
was, l imagined, a person capable of
hiring an assassin to kill me.
On reflection | dismissed the idea
of appealing to the county authorities.
and ! never regretted that resolution.
The seat of Wabana county was 20
miles away, the processes of law were
unfamiliar, and l wished to avoid pub
licity. Morgan might, of course. have
been easily disposed of by an appeal
to the Anmandale constable, but now

chance at Arthur Pickering, and in

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOX
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate agents" Go AFTER
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he Is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy OF
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare holly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.

They Thrive on o,ape.Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which l fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape.
Nuts, so got some and prepared 1t as
follows: / soaked " tablespoonfuls
In one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then strained of the liquid ana
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape;Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put In a pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed it and gave
1t to baby every two hours
In this simple, easy way / saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh

feet to have such wonderful effect as
this. can truthfully say l think it
is the best food in the world to raise
delicate babies on, and is also deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered in OUR family"
