LASTING PEACE IS
TO REST WITH GOD
Father Stagno Predicts Con-
tinuation of Struggles Until
World Listen to the
Holy Spirit.

so long as the world refuses to
listen to the voice of. Christ through
the lips of His successor here on
earth, there will be war" said Rev.
Michael Stagno, Sunday in sermon
at ST. Patrick's Catholic church
"On account of his fidelity to
Christ, Peter was made the head of
the apostles and the visible head OF
the church. Christ promised Peter
that he would be the rock upon which
the church would be founded, and be-
cause of his faith in the Son of God.
he would be the earthly vicar of
Christ" said Father Stagno.
"'He that hears you hears Me, and
he that despises you dispises Me-
said our Lord to Peter and yet when
the potentates of this earth sought
to establish world peace, they would
not even consider the visible head OF
the church, the vicar of the Prince OF
Peace, as a party to their councils.
He was refused a seat in their con-
ferences, and because they dispised
God by dispising His successor and
the head Of His church, all have
learned the horrors of war"
,. God Only Can Legislate.
Father Stagno pointed to the fact
that it was Pope St. Leo, who saved
Italy from Attila, king OF the Huns,
and that Nicholas V mediated often
between Germany, Hungary and
Italy. He reminded his parishoners
how Leo XIII was chosen as arbiter
between Spain and Germany in their
dispute over the Carolinas.
r "Popes as far back as the year 440
and down to the present day have
served as the apostles OF peace" said
Father Stagno. MAN must be guided
in his relations to other men, not by
human law, but by something super
human.
"God Himself is the only being who
can effectually legislate for his crea-
lures and this he does through our
holy father, the pope" -. :tt- : ,

STORE HIDES AS
PRICES ADVANCE
Account for Large Stock on
Hand on Ground that Tan
ners Refuse the Long.
Hair Product.

Omaha packers have been storing
hides while the price of leather shoes
and all other leather goods has scared
to an almost prohibitivc figure.
Packers admit that the number of
hides on hand now is far above the
average at this time OF the year. The
packers give various reasons for this
condition.
Unusually heavy killing of cattle,
refusal of tanners to buy the winter
hides because OF long hair on them
and possible combine among the
tanners to force prices down are some
OF the reasons mentioned by the pack
ers for the large number Of hides on
hand.
my firm has about $4,000 hides on
hand at present." said ,>one packer.
This is about 10000 more than usual.
However, the number is about in pro-
portion to the take-of, as the killing
has been unusually heavy this season.
They are being held in storage only
the required time to cure them"
Another packer said: The large
number OF hides in the cellars of the
Omaha packers is due TO the fact
that the tanners and leather dealers
are trying to buy them at about 5
cents below their real value.
Tanners Turn Bear.
These hides were put down on
certain basis and the sale OF the beef
was based on prices at which the
hides were put down, which was rea-
sonable at the time. While we have no
conclusive proof, there was every in
ydication that the tanners had got to-
gether, as practically no bids could be
obtained for a couple OF months and
bids received were usually 4 to 5
cents per pound less than previous
sales.
The result was that the packers
had to hold the hides, notwithstanding
that they offered to make conccs-
sions of 2 to 3 cents per pound. This
question can be investigated and |
will guarantee that these are practi-
cally the facts"
Regarding the storage Of hides, H.
y. Edwards, general manager OF
Swift & Co., said. -g+1s II
1--WE have no more hides than usual
in proportion to the take-off at this
time of year. However, we have
good stock because the killing has
been heavy and the tanners are slow
in buying the long-hair winter hides.
which are dirty, harder to handle and
have greater shrinkage than the
short-hair hides"
F. Z. Ames, sales manager for Nor
ris & Co., said:
1--WE don't deal in or store produce,
and the cause for the high price OF
hides Is the general war demand for
leather in supplying harness; also the
big demand sor leather in the auto
mobile industry Storage has nothing
to do with the price. !
n. c. Howe, general manager OF
the Armour Packing company, said;
1--WE have 4,500 pounds of butter in
storage--just on-hfth of a car, and
,2,s27 pounds OF poultry, and we would
not have that much, only lit Is neces-
lsary to supply the local trade.g'
Regarding the storage OF hides,swe
are selling them as fast as theysa
taken off, with the exception OF the,
late winter hides, which the tanners
don't want on account OF long hair,
dirt and shrinkage," =. 3D.. ..~@l
