Grain Exchange
Recognizes the Open
Season on Straw Lid

Friday was the first day of the open
season on straw hats at the Omaha
Grain exchange and during the first
hour of the session there was enough
of this class of headgear destroyed
to stock hat store. Regardless of
the owners, or the quality of the hats,
they all looked alike. When straw
hat appeared inside the trading-room
it was quickly grabbed, tossed about,
and when returned to the owner, was
minus brim, or crown, and in most
instances, both.
With the embargo going into ef-
feet, and from now on grain going
out shipped subject to delays and sub
ject to owners risk, light business is
expected until the end of the railroad
strike. Shipments in and out, how
ever, were fairly heavy. There were
l02 cars of wheat in and 249 out;
26 cars of corn in and 80 out; 20 cars
of oats in and 40 out.
Wheat prices were strong to 2 cents
up, selling at $l36 and $l.4o: Corn
was fourth off and sold at 76H and
1914 cents; oats, a cent lower, selling
at AZ and 43 cents per bushel.

Omaha Real Estate
Showing Activity

Increased activity in the real estate
market of Greater Omaha is shown
in figures compiled by Register OF
Deeds Harry Pearce at the conclu-
sion of business August 81, this data
showing that the first eight months
of 1916 marks total valuation OF
transfers Of $11T6,3817o, as against
$l0,994,o65.37 for the corresponding
month of 1915. The 1916 gain is $77l,-
4l642.
During the eight months ending Au-
gust 81 there were 4,377 deeds filed,
as against ATT for the first eight
months in 1915.
One of the striking features of the
1916 gain is the increase of small
transactions. March has been the
largest month for realty transactions.
In March, 1915, the largest deed filed
was the 100000 deal for the First
National bank property at Sixteenth
and Farnam During 1916 thus far
there have been no transactions of
such magnitude, the deeds being con-
fined to the transfer of residential
property and smaller commercial
tracts and structures.

WIGGINS INSURANCE
CASE DECIDED BY
SUPREME COURT
CONTENTION OF LONG STAND
ING, AND WHICH INVOLVED A
LARGE AMOUNT, is BROUGHT
TO AN END AT LENGTH.

After having been fought through
several courts, and finally reaching
the United States supreme court, the
highest tribunal in the land, the claim
of the c. L. Virgins estate against
the Mutual Life Insurance company,
was brought to an end Monday, as
noted in The Journals news columns
in an Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, giving resume of the
decision.
The supreme court of the United
States decided for the Mutual Life
Insurance company in the case against
L. Hilton Green and W. D. Finlay,
executors of the estate of c. L. Wig
gins, deceased.
The case is one of long standing,
involving a large amount, and has
been contested in many courts; first
appearing several years ago before
Judge Sheppard for the Northern
district of Florida. The jury found
for the plaintiff, and the case was ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals.
The decision of the first court was
reversed, and the case again appeared
before Judge Sheppard.
In 1918 thu case was again heard,
and again the jury decided for the
plaintiff, in the full amount with in
terest from the date Of refusal. It
was again appealed, but the higher
court this time affirmed the decision
of the lower court, and ordered the
policy and interest paid.
In speaking of the subsequent &C
ton yesterday, Mr.. Beall stated that
the case was appealed to the supreme
court, and application made fer a
writ of certeorari, which was granted
and all papers bearing on the matter
were placed before the supreme court.
The case was argued last November
and a decision reached Monday.
1t is understood that owing to the
technical nature of many issues in
volved, the case has a vital bearing

the cars will go on and lecturers will
speak at the following places: Holt,
Milligan, Crestview, DeFuniak, Ponce
de Leon, Bombay and Chipley, re-
manning for the night at the latter
place upon the urgent invitation of
Col. 1. A. Miller, who is mayor of
that town. There will be quite an
entertainments provided for the Wis
itors.
Early the following morning The
procession will continue to their des-
tination, and each of the successive
towns, with a plentiful supply from
the places through which the touring
column will have passed the day pre-
viously, announce that several cars
will take up the trail to Quincy.
Leaving Chipley, the cars will receive
reinforcements from Cottondale, Ma
rianna, Sneads and on to Quincy, to
arrive there about p. m. Wednes-
day.
IT is the earnest desire that as many
cars from West Florida as possible
make the run, as it is expected that
a couple of hundred will come from
the east side of the state, starting
simultaneously with the West Florida
procession.
The meaning and possible result of
this Twin ours-to-Q Quincy movement
can hardly be grasped. FLORIDA has
about million tourists last season,
and the western part of the state Sc
cured about 1 per cent, or less" said
P. L. Rollo last night. doesn't it
impress you that good will come from
this trip? 1t does me, and I'll at
tempt to explain what mean If
a million tourists come to Florida
next year, and there are, say, 40 per
cent of them induced by the construc-
ton and completion of the Old Span
ish Trail to motor through West
Florida on the return trip, did it ever
occur to you what that would result
in? / speak from a dollars and cents
standpoint. Suppose they spent $50
each. That's something worth going
after, isn't it? And I belle if the
people think of it in this light, there
will be more interest in the tours"
Mr.. Tomassello, the widely known
Santa Rosa county man, is equally
enthusiastic, and says that the bene-
fits to result from large West Flor
ida representation cannot be meas
ured. He thinks Pensacolians should
even make sacrifices to go along and
help make as big and as enthusiastic
showing as possible.
The officers of the Twin Tours to-
| Quincy movement are the following
F. o. Miller of Jacksonville, G. I. S.
Watts and H. A. FeIkel of Tallahas-
see, Y. L. Watson of Quincy, and P.
L. Rollo, of Pensacola.
Arriving in Quincy, they viii be

den county board of trade, and al
are assured of one of the best times
