chase of supplies for the camp, has
just completed list of the items of
Subsistence, forage and fuel" which
will be needed for the camp. An idea
of the vastness of the quantities to be

pounds of Irish potatoes and $4,000
pounds of butter will be bought every
three months

10. Every effort is being made, Capt.
Gercken states to inform every dealer
in Macon of the Governments require
ments so that every pound of the sup
plies may be bought here if possible
This is a matchless opportunity for
local Dealers" said the captain in dis
cussing the matter "and apparently
many of them are preparing to take
advantage of it. One or two have been
approached seem to be a little awed
by the magniture of our requirements
but this probably will wear off shortly
Naturally, everything will be bought
from Macon firms if they can give us
as good or better prices than we can
find elsewhere.
Prefer Home Products.
Articles of home production or
manufacture will also be given the
preference, conditions of quality and
price being equal Also, articles OF
American production or manufacture

"Sure I can pass a physical test"

DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
is BOOST FOR CROPS
Grain Belt of Nebraska Gets
Good Soaking - Kansas
and Iowa, Too.
ALL CROPS GET BENEFIT

Rain Tuesday night was steady
downpour and general over all that
portion of Nebraska lying east OF
Long Pine on the Northwestern,
Kearney on the Union Pacific and
Benkleman on the Burlington. 1t
covered a large portion Of the ex-
tensive growing area of the
state, extending from far up in South
Dakota down to the southern part
of Kansas, according to the morning
reports to the railroad headquarters,
which indicated that it was still rain
ing and indications were that it would
continue during the day.
Throughout the area visited by the
rain station agents reported that the
precipitation ranged from one-half to
an inch and that it was falling SO
gently and slowly that it was all soak.
ing into the ground. In number of
localities in eastern and central Ne
braska rain alternated with snow.
Through western Nebraska and far
out into Wyoming and Colorado there
was light rain during the night, con-
\ tinuing in the morning, yet nowhere
was the precipitation so great as
through central and eastern Nebraska.
Grain men are of the opinion that
while the rain may not save the win
ter wheat crop in all portions of Ne
braska it will be of great benefit to
the fields where the roots of the
plant were not killed. In addition,
they assert that rain coming just at
this time will assure a crop Of oats
and will push forward with great
rapidity the spring wheat recently
sowed.
The rain puts the ground in the
best possible condition for preparing
for corn planting and, although rather
early, grain men are of the opinion
that the precipitation now, If followed
by seasonable rains later, will make
certain a corn crop.

"Millionless Millionaire" Runs
Amuck When He Gets Out of Coin
With Blonde On One Arm and
a Brunette On the Other,
He Heats Up Windy
OUGHT TO READ PAPERS

Verne E. Oeschger. 22-year-old Val
paraiso (Neb.) lad, who was dubbed
the "millionless millionaire" by the
police of Chicago, where he went in
search of the gayety and excitement
that thrives under the bright glare of
the midnight incandescents, was re-
turned to Omaha from the Windy
City in custody of Detective Jack
Pszanowski yesterday and was bound
over to the district court on 4
forgery charge under bonds Of $3.50.
Verne wasn't in Chicago very long,
but he attracted plenty of attention
while he was there. He hit Chicago
with $l07 cash in his pocket, stun
ming brunette on one arm and a
dashing blonde on the other. Thus
entrenched Verne proceeded to full
fill an ambition to "see the sights"
and earn the title of "millionless mil
lionaire."
But the $l07 ran short and Verne
needed more money. He tried to
cash check and that proved his un-
doing. He was captured by the pc.
lice when he made the attempt.
The "millionless millionaire" in
telling his story, said he was visit
ing in Lincoln when he made the &C.
quaintance Of Mrs. Theresa Dove, 81,
of Oregon, ILL.,, the stunning
brunette, and Miss Catherine Lohng,
20, Of Lincoln, the dashing blonde. He
started his spree by bringing these
fair creatures to Omaha. He put
up at the Castle and Keen hotels
here.
But Omaha wasn't swift enough for
Verne. And he had never been to
Chicago. So he packed up and, &C
