Grain Prices Up
And Down as the
War News Breaks

While the Omaha cash grain mar
ket was comparatively steady to
higher, the option market was wild
enough to keep local men out of the
trading. On May wheat, for in
stance, there was a range of IA cents
between the high at $l6SH, and the
low, $l.54H, per bushel, and a range
of close to cents between the high
and the low on May corn, The July
and September options were cratic,
but nothing as compared to the May.
May wheat opened at $l.6l@1.6lM
around the Friday night close, and on
war news sold down to $l.54H. Then
came bulletin that the German am
bassador had been handed his
passport and that it indicated a break
between the United States and Ger
many. With this the market went
UP with bound, prices sometimes
advancing half to three-quarters of a
cent between quotations. This con-
tinued until there was a gain of some
10 cents per bushel, after which it
sagged 7 cents and quickly reacted,
closing at $1.68B, only one-eighth of
cent under the high of the day.

Warmer Weather in the
West and Tracks Are Cleared

With the return of warmer weather
and the cessation of storms in the
north and west, the Union Pacific
and other Omaha roads have lifted
the blockade and are again running
their trains.
The Union Pacific has its trains
through the drifts near Rock River,
Wyo., and as there has been decided
rise in temperature out there no more
trouble is anticipated. Tomorrow it
is expected that all trains will be back

The Northwestern brought in St
Paul and Minneapolis train this morn
ing, the first to arrive from the north
since Thursday morning. Since then

Lection Says Hotels
Welcome Grand jury
Probe Into Affairs

Keeper of hrst-class hotels in
Omaha welcome the grand jury probe
into certain shady conditions alleged
to exist in local hotels" declares John
F. Letton of the Hotel Fontenelle,
and president of the Omaha Hotel
Mems association.
while the investigation, as re-
ported, is unjust in a certain degree
to hotels of the first class, yet we are
glad to have the attention of the
grand jury turned toward us for sew
eral reasons.
Insofar as the social evil is con-
cerned, no one is eager as the
keeper of first-class hotel to stamp
1t out 1t is difficult, however, watch
full as we are, for we, not only have to
contend continually with impositions
from the public, but with possible
corruption of minor employees as we'll
The situation, however, is not so
black as it has been painted. One
direction, however, In which drastic
measures might properly be directed
would be toward those places display
ing hotel signs to mask Interior pur-
poses. If there were some line of de-
marcation the situation would be
cleared up, greatly to the relief of
every hrst-class hotel keeper in
Omaha who is doing his best to main
tain the morals Of his place" .
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success

School Lad Makes Record for the
Way that He Can Sell ADVERTISING

Frank L. Sveska, the l6-year-old
son of Mrs. Marie Sveska, 1868 South
Fifteenth street, is known as the
champion salesman OF the High
School Of Commerce.
Frank is a senior at the business
school and was appointed on the pro,
gram committee to solicit advertise
ments for the Commercials second
annual senior play, THE Amazon"
to be given March 3 and 4. His chief
ambition was to beat the individual
ad soliciting record of $l60, made
by John Fixa last year. To date
Sveska has obtained seventy-four ads,
amounting to S295, with several pros
poets still in view. The total amount
solicited for the program is 5000, of
which the team captained by Frank
has secured nearly twice the total OF
the other four teams put together.
The young salesman, his teacher
says, has self-confdence, is courteous,
is neat, and will not take no for an
answer. A local typewritting con-
Germ gave him a contract for a $l2.5
ad, but Frank was not satisfied, so
he went back later and convinced
them that it was better for them if
they took whole page at SIS.
Sveska works after school for the
Travellers Insurance company. He
reads books on salesmanship and is
an enthusiastic student on that sub
ject. He declares that in the future
he is going to breaRinto the insur-
ance game.
