penter living at l047 Atlas street,

not a coward, took his own life late
Sunday night. He feared that con-
scription would compel him to
shoulder a gun and possibly take
other human lives before he would
lose his own.
His father, William Latoskey, natu-
rallied citizen of German birth, de-
clared that his son was martyr to
principles of humanity. "He was not
a coward, anyway" he said, simply,
as he watched an undertaken carry
the body to the morgue.
Latoskey went to barn in the
rear OF 1926 Dominion street some
time Sunday night and tied half
inch rope to a rafter and then climbed
on top of high box, from which he
jumped. Charles Pischa, 1926 Do
minion, found the body. In one Of
Latoskey's pockets was a note: Il
leave my body to the medical col
legc."
According TO Latoskey's father, it
was incessant worry over war devel-
opments that caused his son to pur-
sue the course of action he did. 1t
was his third attempt at suicide with
in the last week, it is understood.
Once before he jumped into the river,
but was pulled out by workmen who
saw him. The second time he tried
a rope, but it broke.

Important Message
To the Public.

OUR responsibility as an institution of
~ service in this community, where for
about thirty years we have clothed the
majority of Omaha men, young men and
boys, makes it incumbent upon us to keep
our patrons correctly informed regarding
market conditions on mems wearing
apparel.
Some time ago predicted that higher prices would
prevail and urged the public to govern therpurchases
accordingly. Thousands profited by our suggestion.
On account of being declared, crisis has been
created in the wooden market which directly involves
and greatly affects every mans personal interests The
United States government has been offered all the wool
in the Boston market, much of which expected to
be used in the manufacture of civilian clothing. We
foresaw the high prices and provided the largest
stocks of clothing hats furnishings and shoes for men,
young and boys we have ever assembled.
We have not raised our prices Except in few minor
instances, nor do intend to do until present
stocks exhausted We again urgently and conscien
tously advise immediate purchasing for present and
later wantsthe only way to evade the higher prices of
the future.
