But Ono Ideal.

Ideals Of beauty differ where the
body is concerned. One person prefers
blue eyes and another brown. "What
a pretty girl Bessie Is" n will say,
and another will answer: "Why, I
never thought Bessie particularly pref
ty, but her sister Mary" and 80 on.
But when beauty Of character Is con.
cerned. there Is no such disagreement.
Everyone renlizes that unselhshness Is
beautiful, and selishness ugly. that
kindness IL charming and hate hldeous.
There IL no danger Of your becoming
confused by q double standard. There
Is but one ideal for the beauty of the
spirit.-Glrl's Companion.

Registration Polling Places Are
Being Prepared by Mrs. Findte>

Equipping the polling places for
women's registration day, September
II is the work of Mrs. r. A. Findley.
Mrs. Findley was employed in Elec-
ton Commissioner Moorhead's Office
for three years and therefore knows
more about that is necessary at poll
ing places than any other woman in
Omaha.
When Mr.. Moorhead was asked by
Miss Edith Tobitt, chairman of the
county registration committee, what
woman could give the best service on
her committee, he answered immedi-
ately:
Mrs. Findley first of all"
Mrs. Findley headed the Business
Women's council which assembled
hundreds of business girls for weekly
luncheons and prayer meetings dur
ing the Billy" Sunday campaign.
Miss Tobitt has issued a call for
volunteers to take charge of the
Fourth ward on the South Side, the
stock yards district. Mrs. Charvat,
who was assigned to this ward, is
unable to continue with the work, so
a new head with volunteer assistants
is required.
Mrs. A. B. Detweiler of Millard will
secure the registrations of women
there. A chairman at McArdle will
be named today.

SCORES man WHO HOLDS
HIS WHEAT FOR HIGH PRICES;
SHORTAGEoF SEED ALARMING
eA - As&sss'ssssSs
Food Agent Declares Brand
ing Iron Should Be Used on
Person Now Holding
/ ~ for Gain.

The individual who hangs orto his
wheat in anticipation of receiving
higher prices is Stacker of the mean
est type, declares Charles T. Neal,
national food administration agent for
the Nebraska zone. He is not only a
Stacker, says Neal, but he is all alien
enemy seeking to aid Germany in its
war on the United States and the al
lies. The following is what Mr.. Neal
has to say with reference to this in
dividual:% F..
"A sudden and extensive demand
for seed wheat developed yesterday.
This call indicated either that there
was a change of mind in desire to
plant wheat, that no adequate ar
rangements had been made for secur-
ing seed, or that the idea that the gov
ernment price would perhaps lower
values had induced the parties to hold
off. In any event, with proper seed
ing time only few days away, the se-
curing of seed to give us maximum
acreage is a serious matter. One
county alone was estimated to need at
least $4,000 bushels.
Hold Seed Wheat.
Coupled with these requests was
information that in many localities
proper seed wheat was being held for
exorbitant prices. The thought in
the minds of every loyal, patriotic
citizen at the moment should be how
to win this war One of the ways to
help is to produce a bumper wheat
crop in 1918. thereby providing for
one of the principal foods for our SOL
d;ers at the front. for our allies who
are dependent upon us for bread
stuffs, and also to provide for the
wage earners of the country flour and
bread at a reasonable price.
"A large crop of wheat would solve
this problem and at the same time
make a return to the producer at
present prices that was never before
realized in the history of wheat iais
ing. Every bushel of seed put into the
ground this fall, if followed by
normal season, means twenty to for
ty bushels added to our next seasons
supply.
.ae Appeal to Patriotism.
There seems to be no legal way
to reach the party who is Withholding
seed wheat at this time for an alb
normal profit. Since there is no legal
way to reach him and he seems to
be dulled TO his sense of duty and
patriotism in this emergency, 1t is a
pity that he cannot have burned into
his forehead with a branding iron
the initials w. p (War- -profteer)
and 60 through life with this mark.
Let him be classed with the others
who should also through the rest of
their lives carry the brand s. Nslack-
cry, p. p (peace pacihst), p. G.
(pro-German) and I. w. W..
another thought: This seed wheat
prohteer' is standingsin his own light,
as he will realize after tie seeding
season is over, for he will then have
this high priced wheat on hand and
be confronted with government prices
when he markets it."

RIGA'S FALL DUE
TO SPEECHES OF
\ U. S. SENATORS
Russell, in Address Before La
Dor Alliance, Declares Ger.
tain American Statesmen
Helped ProIong War.
(By Associated Press,)

Minneapolis, MIMI, Sept. g.
Charles Edward Russell, member OF
the American mission to Russia and
a delegate to the loyalty conference
of the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, in formal statement
to the convention today declared the
interest of the Russian people in the
war had been undermined by the ac-
tivities of certain members of con-
gress and pro-German and pacifst
organizations.
The statement followed the reading
of scores of kilograms from labor
leaders in all parts of the country de-
nouncing pacihsts and pledging sup
port to the movement undertaken by
the alliance to solidify labor in the
successful prosecution of the war.
Riga was captured by United
States Senators La Toilette, Gronna
and Stone," Mr.. Russell asserted.
when the kaiser gives out the dec
laration of victory he should give full
credit to these three men. They and
the Peoples Peace council and men
like the mayor of Chicago are doing
more to prolong the war and to
slaughter American soldiers than all
the soldiers of the kaiser.
Every disloyal resolution passed
by a combination of German agents
who call themselves Peoples Peace
Council of America, every time the
mayor of Chicago turns that city over
to disloyal meetings, it is interpreted
to the Russian people as meaning
that the United States does not want
to fight. 1t weakens the faith of the
Russian people in the United States
and gives them the impression the
thing for Russia to do is to beat US
to a separate peace. These are the
reasons why l say that Riga was
captured by La Toilette. Gronna and
Stone, the Peoples Peace council and
the mayor of Chicago. They should
be mentioned by the kaiser in his dec
laration."

Germans Lose Thrice
Canadian Loss at Lens

Ottawa, Sept. 6.-Advices received
here today confirm the previous re-
port of General Sir Arthur Currie
that successful Canadian operations
around Lens were not accomplished
without heavy casualties, although
the percentage was not so large as~in
other battles. sa/
No definite estimate has been sent
here, but the Interpretation placed on
General Currie's statement that the
German casualties were equal to six
ty-nine battalions and that the Cana
dians were only a third of that, is
roughly estimated at $4,000 Germans
and approximately $4,000 Canadians.

Council of Defense Calls on
!. People Of State to Supply
Farmers With NeedfuI
Cereal. for Fields.
(From a Staff correspondent.)

Lincoln, Neb, Sept. 6.-(Special.)
The Nebraska State Council of De-
Tense today gave out the following
statement:
"The seed wheat situation is ex-
ceedingly acute. There is practically
no wheat being shipped to Omaha
that is suitable for seed. ~
Most of the seed wheat is now in
the hands of farmers who are in
elined to hold it for a higher price
than the government has fixed for it.
The result is that the farmers who
are needing seed wheat in the coun-
ties that did not raise sufficient
amount for their use this past year,
are being embarrassed in getting the
supplies they need.
"For instance, the State Council of
Defense yesterday had call from
York county for four carlots of seed
wheat 1t has been unable to place
these orders on account OF the price
asked them by the men who are hold
ing it out in the state. We therefore
turned to the Omaha market for
theses supplies and to the big grain
elevator companies, but have been un-
able to relieve the situation in that
way.
No Seed in Omaha:
On conversation this morning with
c. T. Neal, the government wheat
buyer in Omaha, Mr., Neal informed
the State Council of Defense that
there was no wheat marketed during
the last two days in Omaha that is suit
able for seed purposes, ard that he
had orders for fifteen carlots for seed
purposes that could not be filled. He
earnestly asks the State Council Of
Defense to get the necessary ma
chinery busy to see if it is not posi-
bic to draw upon the stocks in the

Nearly All From Armour, Cud-

Leave Work; Discuss Griev-
anCeS at Meeting.

Employees of the South Omaha
packing houses continued to leave
their jobs yesterday until at o'clock
it was estimated that 5000 had quit,
Nearly all of the men had quit the
Armour plant, and nearly all from
Cudahy and Morris plants.
A meeting was held at 3 o'clock at
Twentieth and Q streets, when the
men discussed their grievances. There
was no trouble during the day and
everything was quiet.
Spreads From Armour's.
From Armour's the strike spread
to all of the packing houses. En-
ployes at Cudahy's reported at the
gate this morning, but 500 of them
failed to enter the gates to go to
work. The men at Morris walked
out i'll small groups all forenoon; at
noon the strikers said that 1000 men
had struck at Morris.
The beef luggers and beef leaders
are taking the lead in the strike.
Truckers and stevedores are also
leaders in the strike. They aid in
the shipping of the products, and
when the shippers do not work there
is little use in working the other de-
partments. .
A meeting of 800 strikers was held
at the Turner Bohemian hall, Twen-
tieth and @ streets, Wednesday eve
ming, and the men agreed that they
would not accept the offered raise of
2A cents, but will demand a Scent
wage boost. They say that will then
give them the same pay which en-
ployes of the Chicago plants are get
ting. -g....

T. P. Reynolds, member of the
State Council of Defense and presi-
dent Of the Nebraska Federation of
Labor, spoke to the men at their
meeting Wednesday night. He asked
the men what they wanted and they
all agreed to hold out for the Scent
raise. He enrolled the men in the
Nebraska Federation of Labor and
advised them to stand together. -sge
The mechanics walked out at Ar
mour's at noon. Most of the girls
are striking. They have been receiv-

MEET AT COURT HOUSE.
The whole group Of ninety-one
men met at the Douglas county court
house and from there marched to the
Union station, while crowds of cheer
ing citizens lined the streets to see
this first offering of Omaha for the
new army.
The boys were escorted to the sta
ton by hundreds of loyal Omahans,
both soldiers and civilians. At the
head of the procession marched the
regimental band Of the Sixth Nebras-
ka, followed by Major Harries and
the Omaha battalion Of the Sixth.
Fine Looking Men.
Next came three civilians who have
had large share in the assembling of
the Omaha section of the National
army, including Clyde Sundblad, wv.
G. Ure and Earnest Ruff, members of
the exemption boards.
After them came the men leaving
for Fort Riley, fine clean-looking
set Of men. Just little embarrassed
at the applause, with smile and a hur-
ried greeting for friends recognized
along the way, with a firm step that
gave them a military appearance in
spite of the variety of civilian cos
tunes they wore, they took their last
walk for many day along the farnil-
lar streets Of Omaha. Those who
watched them pass smiled in pride,
then turned away with dim eyes. AL
though Omaha is becoming accus-
toned to seeing her sons leave for
war, her heart aches over each group
and her prayers for their safe return
follow them.
Carry Big, Flag.
Just after the boys, came an inter-
esting feature, a number of women
employees in the city hall and court
house, who carried a large American
Behind them were the city commits
soners, Commercial club members
and other officials, many Spanish war
veterans, not a few civil war ones,
and scores of others, friends and rela-
tives of the new soldiers.
The parade moved rapidly down to
the station. Waiting there were sew
era1 hundred women, mothers and
sweethearts of the boys. Somewhat
to their disappointment the orders
were issued to allow no one but the
men and some federal officials on the
platform.
All Say Farewells.
There was just time for hasty
kiss and hug for each, with an extra
one for mother, and the big gates
closed between the men and their dear
ones, symbol of the stern laws of
military necessity that will encom-
pass them till the joyful time when
the war is~ over and they are mus
tered out. .s
They stopped at Lincoln and Beat
rice to pick up others of the Nebraska
men. At E o'clock this morning they
arrived after comfortable journey
ready for the long stretch of training.
The soldiers, smiling and happy,
dined at the Commercial club as the
guests of the club at noon. Those
from the northern counties were met
