1t was entirely unnecessary for the
National Grange to issue a denial that
the farmers are responsible for the
high cost of living. Everyone knows
they have had far too small a return
for the labor of themselves and fami-
lies and for the capital they have in
vested.

WILLARD MYSTIFIES
INQUIRING MEDlC0S
Physical Marvel Displays His
Remarkable Endowment to
Astonishment of Doctors.
SECRET STILL HIS OWN

He is AZ years old and looks like
20. He never knows now what day
or hour Of sickness is, but he used
to be a victim of rheumatism and
stomach trouble, He eats pork and
beans, corned beef and cabbage, and
drinks beer. whisky and wine. His
name is Willard, and last night at the
new Ford hospital he mystihed forty
Omaha doctors by growing and shrink
ing at will.
j"HeavensP said the medical men. as
they thumbed his thorax, legs and
spine, while Willard shot up in the
air five inches. The man, who is nor
mally FIVE feet ten and three-quarters
inches, measured more than six feet
three inches after he stopped writh-
ing his way upward.
Willard stripped to let the doctors
watch as we'll as feel the play of the
marvellous muscles as they elongated
his body. He held both arms out
straight and then stretched them
seven inches farther. He placed DR..
M. ]. Ford ten inches away from him
and without dislocating his shoulder,
Wizards right arm kept growing
until his hand could touch DR.. Ford's
ear. .s..a4
He separates himself" breathed
one physician cautiously, as the DEM
onstratof's shoulderblades went wider
apart. Willard laughed and then
swung his. extended arm backward
and forward to show that no bones
were out of joint.
Standing on his left leg while two
doctors kept their hands on the limb,
Willard grew four inches. Then he
walked about the room with one leg
longer than the other. Standing on
the longer leg, he gradually sank to
his normal height He did the stunt
again, raising himself by relaxing the
and again causing the eleva-
ton by contracting them. Willard con-
cluded his demonstration by stretch
ing his neck more than two inches.
1t took three years of patient prac-
tice, Willard says, to perfect his weird
accomplishment. Three months of that
time he spent at San Francisco
examining the muscles of the
dead. He admits he knows
nothing of anatomy, but says that
since he started his exercises he has
never suffered a pain or sickness OF
any kind and was before that frequent
prey Of all kinds of ailments. He has
successfully defed police experts to
take his Bertillon measurements. In
reply to doctors query about diet,
he said he ate and drank anything
he wanted.
Willard is now showing at the
Orpheum. He is billed as "the man
who grows"

Near North Platte

North Platte, Neb., Nov. 3D.
Especial while hunting in corn
field near the South Platte river
south OF the city, Jones, Latham and
Raush, members of the North Platte
High school foot bali eleven, saw a
man and woman go onto small
island in the river and dig up several
bottles of whisky The boys investi-
gated after the couple had left and
found several quarts of liquor cached.
They returned to the city and told
Jones father, who is chief of the po-

man and woman seen on the island
charging the keeping of liquor for
unlawful sale. This is the fourth
liquor complaint to be filed against
the couple within three weeks.

HAWKEYES DRILL,
IN COLD, RAW RAIN
Grub, Scrub Player, Shows Up
So Well That Jones Pro-
notes Him.
READY FOR NEBRASKA

Iowa City, Ia, Nov. 23.-(Special.)
there was no outdoor
practice at all Wednesday for the
Iowa Hawkeyes, but in spite of a
cold, raw rain, the squad was finally
taken out on the gridiron by Coach
Jones and put through some fast work
before returning early to the locker
room. The field was SO soft that it
was impossible to accomplish a great
deal. ..- go
Grub Makes Good. \
] To start the afternoons work the
freshmen were call on to try out the
effectiveness of Nebraska's plays
against the varsity line. The Corn
husker antics went off with varying
success, but the slippery ground made
effective work either Extensively or de-
fensively out of the question. The
principle event OF interest was COM
for Grub by Coach Jones,
who praised the big guard for his
work and intimated that he would
have the call to start against Ne
braska Saturday if he continued to
show up in such style. Grub played
on the varsity in the early games of
the season, but has been with the
scrubs lately. Most of the linemen
of the first and second strings partici-
pated in the scrimmage, but Becker
was not in the best of condition and
did not mix in.
Scott Will Play.
Signal drill beneath the electric
lights at the south end of the field
ended the afternoons work, but this
was cut short because of the cold
rain. Scott was on the field yester-
day in suit, but did not even drill
at signals. 1t is almost certain, how
ever, that he will start the game
against the Cornhuskers.
A steady rain yesterday and most
Of last night has made the gridiron
very soft and the light, fast Hawkeye
backs will be at a disadvantage Sat

Paying Off Election
Bets in Wall Street

New York, Nov. 23.--Holders of
some of the largest wagers made in
Wall street on the presidential cleo
ton began paying the bets off today,
on the assumption that there now
was no doubt President Wilson has
been elected.
Estimates OF the total sum wagered
in the financial district range from
100000 to $5,000,000. Probably half
was paid within a week after election,
but the balance was held by stake
holders pending a final agreement be-
tween betters. 1t was said, however,
there still remained few who placed
money on Hughes who insist their
bets not be paid until President Will
sons election is officially conceded.

HUSKERS ON WAY
TO BATTLE IOWA
Stewart and His Charges Stop
Over Night in Omaha on
Journey to Iowa City.
ANNOUNCES LINEUP OF MEN

The Cornhusker foot bali squad,
twenty-three strong, breezed into
Omaha at o'clock last night on its
way to Iowa City to tangle with the
Hawkeyes in the annual battle Sat-
urday. The Huskers, with Coaches
Stewart and Rutherford and Athletic
Manager Reed, spent the night at the
Rome hotel and leave today for Cedar
Rapids, where they will remain until
Saturday morning.
Coach Stewart announced the line
up which will face Iowa as follows:
Corey and Riddell, ends; Shaw and
Kositsky, tackles; Rhodes and Wild
er, guards; Cameron, center; Galley
and Cook, halfbacks; Dobson and
Otoupalik, fullbacks.
The following substitutes are max
ing the trip: Norris, Moser, Dale,
Donegan, Maloney, Hoadley, Fuchs,
Seller, Gardiner, Henry, Doyle and
Porter.
Before the Cornhuskers left Lin
coin they had short, spirited signal
drill and the team ran through the
formations smoothly. 1t was not IN
til after this signal drill that Stewart
definitely decided upon the lineup he
would start.
Galley Will Run Team.
Galley and Cook will both start.
Galley will probably call the signals.
Galley and Cook are the two fastest
backfeld men Nebraska has and it is
believed they will add to the force of
the attack if both are playing at once.
Dobson is in good shape and his punt
ing is counted upon to be big fac
tor. .,l
Rhodes, who played IN the back
field against Kansas, will play at
guard. Rhodes is a good linesrnan.
He is quick and hits hard He should
be able to tear holes in the Iowa line.
This move was last minute change.
Stewart decided to retain Corey at
end and put Shaw and Kositsky at
tackles. Moser may be able to get
into the game, but his injuries are
such that Stewart will at least start
Cameron at center.

AMERICAN DYES
OUTPUT INCREASES
Home Manufacturers Are Now
Nearly Able to Supply De-
mand for ALI Colors.
GOOD AS IMPORTED WARES

Paterson, N. j., Nov. 23.-Womer
!! may now get practically all Of the
color effects in dress goods that were
known before the war upset the dye
industry, and will soon have every
known color to choose from, all made
in America, fully as good in quality
as those made in Germany or any
other country, according to |. F.
Stone, President of the National Ami
line and Chemical company, who ad-
dressed the National Silk association
convention here today.
Mr.. Stone told many interesting
things about the dye situation. The
seriousness OF it, as it was viewed two
years ago, has largely disappeared, he
said. Large increases in production
of dyestuffs by the already established
factories in this country, and the in
stallment of large number of new
factories, has so cleared the situation
that at the present time the produc;-
ton of the American factories will be
enough to take care of the whole COIL
sumption OF aniline dyes in this coun-
try in the future, for all of what
might term staple colors, and before
another year has passed every color
which is necessary to American coll
sumers will be produced in this coun-
try"
Benzole Output Increases.
In explaining the success of the
American dye factories, Mr.. Stone
said that benzolc, from which prac-
tically all aniline 'colors are derived,
was now being produced in this coun-
try at the rate of 100000 gallons
per annum, as against 100000 PRIOR
to the war, SO that there is an ample
supply of this basic material. From
il are now being manufactured largely
such intermediates as aniline oil, bet
anaptho, paranipranilin. chlor- ben
zolc, dimethy-lanlin and parapheny-
lenediamine, so that American manu-
facturers of colors arc able TO get
sufficient raw materials to manufac-
turc enough colors to supply the
whole consumption.
There is popular impression"
said Mr.. Stone, that American manu-
featured colors are not as good as
those manufactured in Europe, Ger
many particularly, and this is all i'm
preston wish to definitely correct,
in that it is not a fact, for American
colors are made from practically the
same chemical formulate as the Euro
pean colors and are practically the
same product in every way.
THE whole situation is at present
very satisfactory, and every Ameri-
can consumer should be able to OBJ
tain practically everything he needs
for next year.
Colors Good as Imported.
at has been particularly misun-
derstood by the public that American
colors are not as fast as European
colors were, and it seems to be the
custom now for saleswomen and 9TH

Beauty.

There is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that is far from
the truth Beauty is founded on good
health--without that there is no real
beauty. You can cover up muddy
or salIow complexion with face pow
der, but it will not be beautiful. A
homely woman in good health is
usually more interesting and more
charming than bilious, dyspeptic
beauty. Constipation and a sluggish
liver impair good looks. If you are
troubled in this way take Chamber
lains Tablets and you will soon be
looking better and feeling better

ers in the stores, as we'll as the gar
ment dyers, to specifically state that
they do not guarantee colors, because
they are no longer able to get the
foreign colors. | wish to say that, as
far as know, no manufacturer or re-
taller has ever guaranteed colors even
before the war, although this fact
may not have been mentioned, and the
only reason it is mentioned now is
through a misunderstanding of the
situation. Such fancy colors as ladies'
usually want in silk, worsteds, ETC.,
such as pinks, light blues, light greens,
heliotrope, etc, were never fast, and,
as far as know, there have never
been any colors which would dye
them fast. In any event, the word
fast is more or less misnomer, as
color which is absolutely fast to
everything, such as washing, fulling,
light, exposure, alkalies, acids, etc,
is practically unknown, so it is only
comparative fastness which is meant
in speaking of fast colors, and to this
extent the present American colors,
such as they are, are just as fast as
the same colors made in Europe.
"1n connection with the high prices
now charged by American manufac-
turers of colors, many consumers are
under the impression that this is be-
cause of the high cost of manufac-
turc here as compared with Europe,
but, as a matter of fact, the reason
is the abnormal conditions, in that the
raw materials used for the manufac-
turc OF colors, like beonzlc, for in
stance, are very much higher than
normally, being used for explosives,
and other war purposes. These high
prices also rule in Europe, as is
shown by the extremely high prices
asked for such colors as have been
brought over from Germany by the
submarine Deutschland, and other col
ors which are being imported from
Switzerland, the prices on all of these
imported colors being higher even in
proportion than the American colors.
Whenever normal conditions again
prevail and raw materials and labor
are at normal costs, then the prices
of American colors as well as Euro
pean colors will resume the normal
figures.
Cost Not Unreasonable.
"In any event American manufac-
turers who buy dyestufs have no
reason to complain of the high cost,
because they, on their part, have in
most cases advanced the cost of their
products more than the proportion
atcly higher cost of dyestufs, as the
cost Of dyestufs as a general rule is
a very small percentage of the cost OF
manufactured textiles, either wool,
cotton or silk, and American textile
manufacturers today are more pros
porous as rule than they ever were.
The definite answer, in connec-
ton with the manufacture of dye
stuffs in America" he concluded, rs
that the present condition Of the dye
stuff supply is very satisfactory, and
the future outlook is still more salts
factory in that we will make more
colors, and everything indicates that
the larger part OF the business will
remain in the hands OF American
manufacturers even after the war, in
stead of in the hands of the European
manufacturers, who in former years
have had practical monopoly of his
business"
