ting something over for the Old
Guard.
Harding jumped from praise of the
G. o. P. to the need of real Ameri-
canism." Then he passed on and ex-
tended the olive branch to the Bull
MOOsers. He said that only through
complete harmony in the ranks of
the G. o. P. could his ideal of Amer
icanism" be realized.
I'VE did not do very well in MAX
ing for harmony the last time we
met" he said in opening his address.
''The country has regretted; let us
forget-and make amends to our
country. We did not divide over fun
damental principles; we did not dis
agree over a national policy. We
split over methods of party proceed
ure and preferred personalities.
But while Harding was thrilling
the convention crowd the big fellows
of the Old Guard were still having
their troubles in lining up sufficient
support to put Hughes over.
Several secret conferences were
held early in the morning. George
Perkins was still trailing the bosses,
hoping against hope that he could
frame up some sort of a deal for
Roosevelt. One offer of Perkins is
said to have included the withdrawal
of the colonel if tn latter were al
lowed to write Hughes platform.
Whether Roosevelt would consent
to this even if the Old Guard we're
willing is not known. Sen. BOrah,
who will have a large part in the
writing Of the platform, is said to
have talked with the colonel over the
long-distance. What he accomplished
is not known.
The platform is also causing a lot
of worry and loss of sleep. Demands
for planks are being made by leaders
in every state. How to squash these
demands and still preserve the sup

Backed by pledges Of 100000
votes and 100000 in cash to over

seTtion of a suffrage plank.
When Sec'y Jimmy Reynolds be-
gan reading the official call the
crowd appeared to pay no attention
to him. Reynolds flushed with en-
barrassment and Chairman Hilles
raped for order.
Western PrOgressives, headed by
the Colorado delegation, made it
plain tOda vat the Bull Moose con-
ventiOn that they weren't going to
stand for any deal George Perkins
might make with the Old Guard on
a candidate who is not for progress
sive measures.
They also indicated that even if
Roosevelt stood for a reactonary
G. o. P. candidate the ,cOlOnePs in
fiuence would not be sufficient to
make the rank and file of the Bull

Apple Munching
Takes Place of
Lunch on Change

We might write a tender little ballad
on the Omaha Grain exchange men and
their ways and model the said tender
little ballad on that popular favorite
about When It's Apple Blossom Time
In Nor-man-die."
our lifting melody on the Omaha Grain
exchange must run like this:
When It's apple munching time on the
want to be
In the scenery, etc.
Apple munching time on the Omaha
Grain exchange is from 10 o'clock noon
onward.
At u o'clock the big, red, rosy apples
begin to appear from their hiding places
In mems pockets and from secret caches
I'm the back of lower desk drawers and
the noise Of the luscious fruit cracking
and crunching between teeth is heard
in the exchange.
President j. 3. Swearingen leads the
apple munchers and the healthful habit
runs down through the whole personnel
practically They all like apples. These
mon are busy. especially around noon,
which Is the hour which our forefathers
set for the consuming OF a heavy meal.
At the Grain exchange IL receives scant
attention as a regular eating hour.
The visitor in the gallery sees the busy
men in the pit below suddenly become a
group Of apple eaters. Business keeps
on Just as usual. for a man can sell 10.0OC
bushels OF wheat Just as we'll with his
mouth full OF apple as when his mouth
is fun OF nothing or full of tobacco OF
something.

Omaha Market DrdDS Grain from
OUer an EUer- Widening Territory

The territory from which the Omaha
market draws its grain supplies is one
that is continually widening. II has in
creased in size very vastly since the be-
ginning OF the Omaha Grain exchange
This has been due TO hustling on the
part Of the exchange. Not for a minute
has It 'loafed on the Job"
In the early days Omaha worked under
a greatly handicap because railroad rates
on grain we're grossly discriminatory
against this market.
1t was only from the local territory that
Omaha could get grain while such
markets as Kansas City and Minneapolis
drew from the greater territory because
Of favorable rates on grain.
But the battle that has been carried on
persistently against these unjust grain
rates has resulted in victory after victory
for the Omaha Grain exchange
At the present time the grain is flowing
to the Omaha market from practically
all Nebraska, part Of Kansas, eastern
part OF Wyoming, two-thirds OF South
Dakota, southeastern Minnesota and the
west half of Iowa.
One Of the remarkable victories in the
Omaha daily bee., 1916-02-27

The mills OF the United States outrank
all others and many OF the biggest are
right here in the west.
The milling development since the in
PRODUCTION Of the purifier and the rolls
has been such that American flour now
competes successfully in all foreign coun-
tries from which II is not barred by
prohibitory traits.
The number Of mills in the United
States today is about 5000. They employ
a capital Of about t225. 600, 900 and grind up
more than 900 bushels OF wheat an
nually.
Minneapolis is tho largest flour-produo-
ing city In all the world, with a daily
capacity OF about $1,000 barrels. The
largest cities of the middle west are also
noted producers of flour Omaha having
n milling capacity OF moro than ZOO
barrels a day.
In these modern days the grist miller
OF few decades ago lie rapidly disap-
peariDg. though in many localities in this
country the old practice Is still followed
out.
Under this system the product goes
through the hands OF only two persons
between production and consumption. The
wheat is carried by the farmer who
raises 1t to tho miller who grinds It and
the flour is carried back again by the
farmer 20 be made into bread and eaten
Under the new disDensation the prog

other markets, finally TO the big milla
then the flour into the hands OF brokers
who sell It to jobbers. who in turn sell
II to retailers, who sell Il TO the farmers
and all othors who need II and have the
money to buy.
In connection with the controversy on
the subject OF rates II is interesting tc
note how rates on grain have decreased
since the early days OF railroads. In lse.
the average rail rate on bushel of wheat
from Chicago TO New York was IS ~
cents In 1881 u had dropped TO IL cents
and today is much lower.

courts was that in which Omaha was
given a rate that brings thousands Of
carloads of grain to the Omaha market
now from Montana, even as far away as
Three Forks and Helena.
Grain has come to this market from
even as far east az forty-five miles this
side Of Chicago and shipments come from
Wichita in the extreme southern part OF
Kansas.
And this broadening process is going
on constantly. The unjust rates are being
done away with and Omaha is coming
more and more into its own.

GEORGE A. ROBERTS
MADE HIS In OMAHA
He Learned His Business on the
Farm and Turned knowledge
Into Regular Money.
SHORT STORY OF HIS SUCCESS

one Of the very interesting men on
the Omaha Grain exchange is George A.
Roberts. interesting because of what he
complished.
lie IL the head Of tho George A. Rob
orts Grain company and is. in fact. the
whole company.
Twenty-Five years ago George Roberts
was working In grain elevator out in
Nuckolls county for the handsome sum
OF f16 a month and his board.
In the few months since the European
war started George Roberts has mado
profits OF about $4,000.
And he still keeps his head level He
Ia putting most OF his great profits away
in gilt edged farm mortgages and some
first class dividend-paying stocks. He
has enough OF 'em to fill trunk.
Parents Were Pioneers.
Mr.. Roberts parents came TO Ne
braska from Illinois IN 1874. driving over
land in covered wagon. They camped
ono night where the Lincoln postoffice
now stands and then went ON west.
where they took up land in Saline county.
There he was born on the farm forty
two years ago and lived on the farm
till he was boy OF II. going to the dis
trict school where he got his total OF
book education.
Then no took the position OF sob In
tho elevator and he has never deserted
the grain business from that day 10 this.
although he has been engaged in It in
different capacities.
He travelled for a Kansas City grain
house for five years, following up the
grain harvest from south AZ far as
Oklahoma City 20 within thirty miles Of
81. Paul buying grain for his house.
How He Began business.
This gave him a very valuable asset
in the way OF acquaintance with men
ail over this section OF the western
country.
He started business and became a
member OF the Omaha Grain exchange
eight years ago and has been suceess-
full right along.
He was "bull'' on grain at the prices
Il was selling for about the time the
war opened. Wheat was far below 81
then. on August /, 1914. and he bought
great quantities. He would sometimes
sit down TO the telephone in his office
and buy 5000 or 1900 bushels Of
wheat in an hour OF two.
And the Price Went Up.
Before he had finished his buying. the
grain had sometimes advanced a couple
OF cents. Wheat rose cents a buHhe
on one memorable day. It increased IN
value several cents while II was being
transported from tho country towns
where ne bought n to the Omaha mar
ket And 90 his fortune piled up in al
most magic manner.
He bought oats too, cash oats 70
sixty days delivery and used TO max
10 or IS cents a bushel on that.
Mr.. Roberts Is q university gradual
the university OF Hard Knocks. Nov
he has arrived" He has just com
pleted one OF the handsomest homes Il
Dundee where he lives with his wifi
and daughter who are his greatest in
terest outside OF grain.
