Omaha Men to Help Hoouer Handle
The Food Supply of the United States

J. W. Shorthill, who is named by
Food Commissioner Hoover as sec
retary of the corporation TO take
over the grain supply of the country,
is Nebraska man. He lives al
York.
Mr.. Shorthill for many years has
been secretary OF the Nebraska CO.
operative Grain and Live Stock
State association. For years Mr..
Shorthill has been recognized as one
OF the ablest men in his particular
line, that of managing the co-opera
tive transportation aud marketing OF
grain Several hundred cooperative
elevators are operated in Nebraska
by local cooperative grain associa
tions, all Of which are members OF
the Nebraska association, OF which
Mr. Shorthill is secretary. Mr..
Shorthill keeps the record of the
work of the entire body, visits the
various elevators. in the state, makes.
suggestions for improvement Of sc-
counting systems, Improvement OF
shipping conditions and improvement
in the methods OF handling the grain
transportation industry in general.
At the annual meeting OF the asso->
citation, which is usually held IN
Omaha. Secretary ShorthiH's annual
report is always looked 10 by the del
egates for some strong and advanced
recommendation for the improve
mcnt and upbuilding of the service,
and so efficiently has he managed his
end of the work that the cooperative
grain business has grown in Ne
braska by positive leaps since be has
been secretary
1t is the opinion of those in Ne
braska who know of Mr.. Shorthills
work that no better man could have
been chosen by Mr.. Hoover for the
position for which he has just named
Shorthill.
Charles T. Neal of Kansas City,
who will represent the corporation at
Omaha, is we'll known by the older
grain men of Omaha and Nebraska.
Thirty years ago he was in the grain
business in Edgar. Later he sold his
business and went TO Lincoln, where
for number of years he represented
the ]. Fl. Harris Grain company of
Chicago. After this for several

TO farm at Coyington, KY, where
she grew to womanheod amid the
trials, hardships and excitement OF
contending armies OF Ahe civil war.
December 22, 1868, Mrs. Kennedy
was married to Thomas Kennedy,
and came from her home bride di-
rectly TO Omaha, arriving here on
Christmas day.
In 1870 the couple built home at
the southeast corner OF Sixteenth
and Jackson streets, a location then
far removed from the business Sec
tion of the town. Here were born
the family Of FIVE children--Sherman,
who died at the age OF 7 years;
Thomas j., James A. C., Edward M,
and Marie P. Kennedy. For half a
score of years the Kennedy home
was the gathering place Of the young
sters of the, then south side" and
haven of hospitality and unaffected
good will. Mr.. Kennedy died Septem-
Der 2, 1881, Of illness contracted dur
ing his service in the union army.
To the widow then fell the task OF
supporting and educating her father
less family, and she brought to it un-
wavering courage, hopefulness and
tireless work, against which many
adversities buffeted in vain. This task
accomplished as happily as a mother
could wish, the old home yielded re-
luctantly to advancing business and
in 1910, was replaced by the present
mercantile establishment.
Mrs. Kennedy's life in Omaha
covered the period of the growth OF
the city from struggling village to
the present splendid metropolis of
the state. She experienced the hard
ships of depressed times as well as
the joys Of prosperity and lived to
see her faith in the city's future fairly
realized. To the thinning ranks OF
pioneers who worshiped at the van-
ished ST. Pbilomena cathedral at
Ninth and Harney streets, Mrs. Ken
nedy's death will be a source OF keen
regret. In all the parish activities oi
the pioneer cathedral she was an en-.
ergetic, resourceful and CHEEKY work.

Besides her children Mrs. Kennedy

PIPKIN ASKS FOR
REMOVALOF KUGEL

Misappropriation of Funds,
and Wants the Money

Charles w. Pipkin, formerly a city
police detective, now connected with
an Omaha detective agency, has
begun ex rel proceedings in district
court in an attempt to remove City
Commissioner Kugel from office.
The detective makes charges that
kugel uhlawfuliy appropriated city
funds.
Pipkin, according to the papers filed,

He alleges Kugel appropriated
funds aggregating ST ,999.45 from the
city from October %, 1915, to June 8,
1917.
The petition states the alleged
money misappropriated by Kugel
was not salary or other sums that

PRICES DROP WHEN
GRAIN BOARD NAMED
Appointment of Corporation to
Control Food Supply
Causes Slump in
Prices.

Word from Washington announc-
ing the appointment of commission
that has for its object the immediate
taking over OF the grain stocks of
the country and fixing prices at which
the cereals shall be sold, had a de-
pressing effect on the Omaha market,
causing prices to sag.
Wheat receipts were eleven car
loads, but no sales were made Every
body was afraid TO buy or sell How
ever bids indicated that the market
prices were around $3.50 and $255, or
about 10 cents under the prices Of
Tuesday.
There was pretty good demand
for corn, and large portion Of the
receipts, eighty-seven carloads, was
sold, but at prices 10 to II cents un-
der those of Tuesday. The top was
$l87 and the bottom $l.68.
Oats were cent off, but the sales
were light, those that were made be-
ing at 90 and oil cents a bushel.
makes mdTket Duil,
The dullness in the market was at
tributed to members of the Omaha
Grain exchange believing that with
the government having taken over the
wheat, it will be only few days until
the other grains will be handled un-
der the direction Of the federal COM
mission.
None Of the Omaha grain men seems
clear as TO what effect the action of
the government will have upon the
Omaha market However, they are
all agreed that the effect will be the
same elsewhere and that no one grain
market will have any advantage over
another.
Generally grain men say that with
the government in charge of the fix
ing Of the price; both the maximum
and the minimum, the whole situation
must become one Of storage in eleva-
tors, the stocks later 10 be diverted
to such points as the members of the
food commission may direct.
To Cut Out Speculation.
There will be complete elimina-
ton of speculation and wheat and
other grains will sell for just what
the cereals are worth, according to
the ideas of the government men in
charge Of the price fixing and the
distribution. l....
Omaha grain men are we'll pleased
