Faithful Democrats
Ready to Fill Jobs
In New Land Bank

A lot Of Omaha democrats could
not go to sleep last night, so deep
were their thoughts concerning the
new federal farm loan bank which
has been awarded to Omaha The
situation carries with it several choice
appointments with which they hope
the democratic administration will re-
member its own.
When the bank shall have been
established here in fact, il will be
necessary to have somebody in
charge. A story comes from WASH
ington to the effect that Arthur Null
len, national committeeman, while
there sought to groom Chris Gruen-
ther for the job. Chris abides at
Columbus and stands ace-high with
the Mullen wing Of the Nebraska
democracy. He was campaign man
ager for Senator Hitchcock during the
recent vote-getting contest and a sort
OF entente cordiale exists between
Messrs. Hitchcock, Mullen and
Gruenther. But the suggestion is
said to have been rcbuffed as being
impregnated with too much politics.
Carol S. Montgomery, another
democratic wheel horse, has been
mentioned for the place and Frank 6.
Odell's name has been heard in con-
nection with a position of some kind
in the federal farm loan bank service.

Buffalo Meat is Cooked ...
Like Other Kinds of Game

Jake Rosoff, proprietor of the Pub
lie and Empress markets, received
from Fort Pierre, S. D., buffalo,
parts OF which will adorn many tables
on New Years day. The carcass
weighed 1880 pounds.
Mr.. Rosoff has received so many
inquiries as to the proper way to cook
buffalo meat that he has made the
following statement
ut should be handled the same as
any wild game. Roasts should be
cooked two and one-half hours with
plenty of water over them and then
let steam for two hours to get the
proper tenderness and favor. Steaks
should be cooked little longer than
ordinary steaks. If this buffalo meat
is tough it is the fault Of the. cook
and not of the meat. This buffalo
was S years old and one of the best
ever shipped to this market"

NO OMAHAN WANTED
FOR BANK BOARD.
Committee Which Brought the
Bank Here Would Bar Lo-
cal Directors.
GIVE OTHER CITIES CHANCE

II any Omaha man wants to get
on the board Of directors Of the pro-
posed Omaha federal farm loan bank
he will receive no encouragement
from the Omaha committee which
worked so hard to get a land bank
here. The committee feels that get
ting the bank is enough for Omaha
and that the directorate should be
chosen from other cities within the
district, such as Lincoln, Des Moincs
and some South Dakota or Wyoming
cities.
This was brought out at a meeting
of the committee held at noon in the
Commercial club rooms to jolly one
another on the good fortune they had
in getting bank for Omaha.
A telegram was then sent to the
Federal Farm Loan board at Wash
ington as follows:
Note of Thanks.
The Commercial club OF Omaha. on behalf
Of all the people Of the city, wishes Its
committee to express to you their enthusi-
astic appreciation Of your action In locattns
ono DUNK IN ofuAnA Anu hTrhHHluk suIu y

Of the bank successful from Its inception.

The suggestion was made at this
meeting that the old First National
bank building at Thirteenth and Far
nam streets, now to be abandoned by
the bank people for their new quar-
tiers, would make an excellent loca-
ton for the new federal bank. The
property was acquired some months
ago by A. E. Cook Of Chicago, and
at the time Mr.. Cook made no an
nouncemcnt as to what his plans
were for the future use Of the build
ing. 1t was pointed out by Chairman
Myers Of the committee that here is
building suitably equipped with
vaults both in the banking rooms and
in the basement.

FARMERS BUY MORE
AUTOS, LESS TOOLS
Indications Are Machinery
Sales Will Show Falling Off
for the Last Year.
MUST BUY NEXT YEAR

1t is estimated by w. d. Hosford
of the John Deere Pillow company
that the total sales Of implements
during the year will show little, if
any, above last years record, and that
It may be a trihe below.
This Mr.. Hosford attributes to the
heavy sales Of automobiles which
brought about drain upon the FARM
ers. Indications are" said Mr.. Hos
ford, that so many farmers bought
automobiles this year that they made
their old farm machinery do through
the year as far as possible in order
to meet the cost Of an automobile,
Next year we confidently look for the
biggest year in the history of the i'm
plement business in Omaha. It is
plain that il they made their old ma
chinery do this year they cannot make
it do again next year, and that is the
year they will have to buy implc-
mepts."
The implement men are well salts
fed, however, with the years business,
and say it was prosperous one, even
II the volume did not pile up higher
than last year.
Besides, many Of the big imple-
ment jobbers handle automobiles
also, so they really got the benefit
OF the big demand for cars. In max
ing up the figures for years business,
however, implement men separate the
automobile business from the strictly
farm implement business.

Lane Finds Train
Congestion in East
Worse Than West

Congestion may be great on the
western lines; in fact it is so great
we have deemed it expedient to de-
clare an embargo, but the Union Pa
cifc is like a fly pond compared to
the railroads in the east" declares
Charles Lane, general freight agent
OF the Union Pacific. who has just
returned from short Christmas va
cation at Grand Rapids.
'In Detroit" said Lane, there are
$4,000 cars and that terminal Is COM
pletely plugged up. 1t is impossible
to go through the town. The con-
-gestion is simply appalling. And
that congestion in Detroit. of course,
affects all points east.
"You know they say home is the
place you get the best and Of which
you complain the most. That's the
way with our western roads. Out
here we complain of the congestion
OH Our own roads, but the Union Pa
cihc is free and clear compared to the
roads in the east"

Clever Crook Collects
Money from Housewives

Three Omaha housewives within
the last two days have been victims
of a clever swindler at work in resi-
dental districts at what is known to
the police as the reuben blue" Mrs.
Helen Bennett, 6l7 South Sixteenth
street, lost $40, as did Mrs. R. Ro-
land, 22l9 South Seventeenth street.
Mrs. Lutte Davis, Ills Cass, was

and tells the housewives that he has
for sale, at very low prices, eggs,
meats and choice vegetables fresh
from the farm. His wagon is "just
around the corner" and he takes their
order and their money. Then he
vafishes.
Police officials have good 'descrip-
ton OF the man and detectives are at
work on the case. -.

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 a muddy
or sallow 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 a bilious dyspeptic
beauty. Constipation and a sluggish
liver impair good looks. If you are
troubled in this way take Chamber
lain's Tablets and you will soon be
looking better and feeling better

Bridges to Insist
On the Water Board
Taking Out Permit

Building Inspector Bridges an
nounced that he will stop work on the
building being erected by the Metro
politan Water board at the Walnut
Hill station unless General Manager
Howell applies for building permit
according to law. ,-.
II made several trips to the Wal
nut Hill station, sought the architect
and talked with the engineer of the
Water board, but nobody seems to
know how much the building is 60
ing to cost or when a permit will be
taken out. don't see why R. B.
Howell should evade the building
laws Of the city any more than any
body else" remarked Mr.. Bridges.

Clear Weather Rules
All Over the State

Clear weather continues to prevail
all over the state of Nebraska. Re-
ports to the local railroad headquar-
tiers show no stormy, snowy ,r windy
weather at any points in the state.
Several points, however, report very
cold weather. Randolph, on the Bur-
lington, is the coolest spot in the
state, the mercury dropping to IS de-
frees below zero at that point.

untiring handiwork. The singingssof
of the choir, Shout the Glad It'd
ings," "Hark the Herald Angels
Sing" and the carols of children
singing in concert, Our Christmas
tree, our Christmas tree, come meet
around our Christmas tree!" thrilled
the hearts of the mountaineers, and
when they, too, heard their names
called and little misses came trip
ping down the aisle with smiling
faces and handed them their pres
ents they were astounded. Their
cup of joy was full, even to the
brim of tears. The presents to
Hunter John and Libertree were to
each silver-case watch and chain,
something they had never been able
to afford. They never found out
for certain who their Santa Clause
was, but they were certainly sure
he valued their time. Perhaps it
was the timber firm of hardwood
and Marktree in whose enterprise
their time was employed. The tree
at last all stripped, the hearts of the
children overjoyed, with their arms
full of presents so precious, they
sang together these parting words:
Farewell to thee, o Christmas tree!
Farewell to thee, o Christmas tree
Twelve months Ger we will meet once
more,
And we will welcome singing as of yore,
For Christ our Lord was born today;
His reign shall never pass away,
Hosanna Hosanna! Hosanna in the
Highest!'

Referring to the Page senator
ship, it has been limited there is
great unrest in the political atmos-
phere. That many citizens and
newspapers are DESTROYS of change
almost determined, as it were,
that a new candidate shall rise
up against Page. In tracing out
the source of this unrest it all seems
to emanate from the adherents of
the Allen M. Fletcher's candidacy.
Indeed the Ex-Governor himself, in
the printed announcement of his
candidacy makes a handle of it to
strengthen his cause. Of course a
puff of wind from any source will
cause a ripple, but a ripple is not
gale. Neither do we think this rip
pie will become a gale. While
statewide test vote may not be a
safe anchor to tie to, the one con-
Quoted by the Vermont Union Jour
nal in Pages behalf would prove it
far better than no anchor at all. At
least it will hold the Page boat against
a stronger opposition ripple than is
now being waited over the state.

Just how dangerous a backache, sore
muscles, aching joints or rheumatic
pains may be is sometimes realized
only when life insurance is refused on
account of kidney trouble. Joseph G.

severe backache that had bothered me
for several months" Take Foley
Kidney Pills for weak lame back and
