wireless Christmas night that it was
sinking, had not been found today.

When it was announced that twelve

While the Commercial club OF
Omaha was the nominal head of this
movement, dozen other business
and civic organizations in the city

great work of preparing the Omaha
case. The bureau of publicity gath

volume of business done in Omaha,
the city's accessibility to the farmers
of great agricultural area, the farm

membership representing many of
the business organizations in the city.

Cague, Luther Drake, c. c. Rose
water, A. +. Striker and ex-officio
members Robert H. Manley, commits
sioner of the Commercial club, and
E. V. Parrish, manager Of the bureau
of publicity.
When all the material necessary
had been obtained Francis A. Brogan
was chosen to draw the brief to be
filed with the federal farm loan board.
He worked the material at hand into
brief of over 100 pages. B.,
On September 22, last, the federal
farm loan board, with Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo at the head,

other business men in the court room
ready to testify before the board in
regard to Omaha's need of a farm
loan bank, and Omaha's advantages
as location for such an institution.
Some strong testimony was brought
out, especially from the farmers of the
western part of the state, who have
been paying high rates of interest on
short time loans.
Members of the board said after

Missouri Man Helps Lift Farm.
Mortgages

As Official Of Department e.:
Agriculture. He Suve, Problem,
for Farmers of the US.
The man who knows most about
the subject Of How to Make the
Farm Pay in the United States is
MlsSourian. William j. Spillmal,
chief of the Office OF Farm Manage
ment in the Bureau of Plant Indus
try of the U. 5. Department of
Agriculture Mr. Splllman received
his agricultural education at the
University Of Missouri. He was
graduated from the College of Aeri-
culture with q B S. degree in 1886
and received his masters degree in
1890
The work Of Mr.. Spillman is the
subject of a personal article in the
January number of the American
Magazine under the title of "A
Wonderful Question Answerer." BY
Fred C. Kelley.
Hi, province is to answer
questions" Mr Kelley writes He
knows more than any other man in
tn country about How to Make
the Farm Pay" There may b,
Others who know just as much as
Spillman about how to run farm
in given locality but SpllImar
knows just what TO do in any part
of the whole United States He
could so any place at random. take
charge of farm. and make II ply
a profit.
No matter what the question is
whether it is about crop rotatlcr.
arteslan wells, how to muffle by.
draulic ram or how to arrange one
fields to secure the minimum
number Of footsteps, or marke,
guinea pigs, Spillnan has the answer
really.
Splllman gets more mail than
the President OF the United States
the writer asserts.
Tie has a bigger acquaintance
on rural free delivery routes than
any man in the United States. And
those who know him look on HIM
as i sort of a helping hand society,
So that be is both well and popular

WILSON TAKES RAP
At BRYAN AND 7, R,

(By Un;ted Press Leased Wire.l
| Des Moines, Feb. 2.--Gratltled by
the reception accorded him by thons-
ands here last night. President VIII
son left at midnight for Topeka, the
next main point on his preparedness
swing around the circle"
That he feels his mission has been
success was indicated in his speech
here last night when he replied to
critics OF mote writing" in which he
Iinferentially took a slap at Colonel
Roosevelt and former Secretary
Bryan.
There are actually men In Amer
lea who are preaching war" he de-
clared, while at the same time alb
solving himself from any alarmist
views. This remark, interpreted by
some as -eeferring to Roosevelt, was
followed by a declaration that some
men advocating peace are preaching
the doctrine OF peace at any price. :"
He declared he could follow neither
group, though no desired America
should maintain peace with honor II
possible.
As for the difficulties OF keeping
the United States out Of war. the pre-
sident declared:
1T can not be disclosed now. per-
haps ii can never be disclosed, how
anxious and how difficult that task
has been, but my heart has been in It,
| have not grudged single burden
that has been thrown on me with that
end in view, for know that not only
my own heart but the heart OF all
America was in the cause OF peace. y
In the course OF his speech he
voiced new point when he expressed
the hope that an international tri-
bune" and some sort OF joint guar
antee of peace on the part OF great
nations OF the world" would result
from the present struggle.
As for the subject Of mote writ
ing" Wilson suggested:
do you want the situation to be
such that all the president can do is
to write messages and utter words OF
protest? II breaches of international
law, which are in daily danger Of oc-
curing, should touch the very honor
of the United States, do you want to
do nothing about it? Do you wish
to have all the world say that the
flag Of the United States can be
stained with impunity?"
