THOUGHTS ABOUT OLD GLORY

Ii you are a citizen
OF the T. S. A.,
Stand by Old Glory
And don't let it so astray.
She waved over the coloEists in '76,
She waved with Gran. in "a;
And you shouldn't abuse our flag
For it is Red White and Blue
The north whipped the south
The south took it like man;
But we are both united
Together now with one grand band
Old Glory waved
With our Rough Riders in '9S.
And by the 48 stars and Is stripes
The Spaniards were put to fight
The people thought that
All our wars were Ger.
And that Old Glory could
Wave in peace once more
But peace lasted nearly
Eighteen years; then our flag
Was roughly taken from her
Peaceful resting place.
And now the cOlors wave
With Pershing in France;
1t has As stars and Is stripes
And is a great menace in the Ger
mans sight
We all honor the maker of Old Glory,
Who was Betty Ross,
AS she sat in her easy armchair
And sewed the white stars in their
places.
She little did know
How their number would grow,
And how brave men would die
To uphold Old Glory

Membership to the
New Omaha Athletic
Club Coming in Fast

w. B. T. Belt, chairman of directors
of the Athletic club says he Is very
optimistic over the future prospects
Of the club He believes that from
the standpoint of Naternalism, it is
going to mean a great deal for the
city of Omaha; that it will not only
be the means of creating bond OF
good fellowship among the business
and professional men of the city
itself. but that it will extend that
bond to the men from more dis
tant parts Of the state and surround
ing country as we'll. In support of
his views, he cites the fact that a
large number of bankers and bust
ness men from various parts of the
state are making application for
nonresident memberships.
The same is true of a large num-
Der of travelling statesmen who have
been making the city of Omaha for
a number of years. These men, upon
being asked what particular feature
of the club appealed to them, as
inducing them to become members,
almost universally reply that it is
the fraternal homelike spirit which
predominates in a club of this ma
ture.
Membership Of all classes are be-
ing taken very rapidly, and it is
urged upon those who have in mind
making application should do so be-
fore the number is filled.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Corn Rises In Value As Result Of Denial
of Germany,a Continuation

Chicago, Oct. 17.--Corn rose in value
today mainly as result Of denials that
Germany had capitulated. The market,
however, was very unsettled throughout
the session. Prices closed nervous &c to
3bc net higher. with November $1.19%
to s1.19%. and December s1.15h to
s1.15%. Oats finished &c to %c down
and provisions unchanged to ,97c lower.
A general rush to buy took place at
the opening In the corn market. Be-
sides the explicit assurance that reports
Of Germany's surrender were baseless an
other bullish factor was talk that a move
was on foot to establish minimum price
for corn. On the ensuing bulge, though,
offerings increased and the market re-
acted, but only to bound upward again.
This performance was repeated at In
tervals during the rest Of the day, with
the downturns becoming somewhat more
pronounced after owing In a measure to
assertions that the German retreat sug-
gested a rout. Gossip that Turkey would
conclude a separate peace tended also to
stimulate selling at the last.
Hedging pressure operated to keep the
oats market easy most Of the day.
Lower quotations on hogs sent pro-
visions sharply down grade. Support was
lacking until the market as a whole came
within q fraction Of the minimum level.

GRAIN MARKETS STOCK MARKET
Influenced BY Peace Rumors
Market Registers Another
Impressive Advance;
Pool Issues Center

New York, Oct 17.-Under the influ-
ence Of persistent peace rumors. today's
stock market registered another impress
sive advance Of prices on a volume Of
dealings which far exceeded 1000. 900
shares.
That a considerable part of the trading
came from the public was obvious from
the increased attendance and interest OF
investors In the financial district and
whose wires w&e Kept busy with orders
from interior points
Although the movement again concern
trated largely In issues controlled by pools
and included many stocks of specula tive
character. many high class shares par.
ticipated In the rise to a substantial de-
gree.
Oils. eoppers. motors and two-score of
stocks whose products are bound to be
benefited by the wars early conclusion
were higher In the course Of the session
by 3 to Is points.
Realizing for profits caused only nom.
inal recessions from maximum quotations
in most instances, fresh buying of
petroleums and metals marking the final
hours broader operations.
Despite the constant pressure exerted
against United States Steel, that stock
reacted only q small fraction, closing at
an advance Of practically point. Re-
lated shares such as Bethlehem and
Crueible Steels, yielded to points, but
rallied moderately.
Rails Of the dividend class. as well as
many issues whose status Is yet to be
defined by the federal authorities, gained
l to points, Canadian Pacific proving
the only noteworthy exception.
Railroad bonds OF the speculative d.
vision, as we'll as foreign flotations were
strong. liberty issues, however, dis
played slightly irregular tendencies To-

Old United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

REPUBLICANS
HAVE CHANCE
TO Make Good
Election In November Likely
to Bring About Many I'm
portant Changes in
Senate Committees.

Washington, Oct. H.-Electiofi
of a republican senate in November
would make mann striking changed
in the chairmanships of the senate
committees. ..
Not only would the electionNof
republican senate overthrow the
present domination of the senate
and the senate committees by demo-
Gratis, a great majority of whom are
from the south, but it would put at
the head of these committees some,
OF the greatest republican leaders
Of the upper house. ....e.
Do the people of the country pre-
fer Chamberlain, democrat of Ore
gon, or Warren, republican of Wy
oming, father-in-law of y General
Pershing, as chairman Of military
Warren or Smoot.
Senator Martin, democrat of Vir-.
gina, is chairman of appropriations.
In republican senate Warren of
Wyoming or Smoot of Utah would
be chairman of this important COM
mittee.
Does the country wish Simmons,
democrat of North Carolina, to
continue as chairman of the great
finance committee, which frames all
revenue bills, or do the people de-
sire Lodge, Massachusetts,, or Nc
Cumber, North Dakota?
Do the people want Senator Gull
>bertson, democrat, of Texas, to con-
tnue chairman of the judiciary, or
would they rather have Nelson,
Grand Army of the Republic. vet
eran, Of Minnesota, as chairman
Lodge Instead of Hitchcock.
Hitchcock, democrat of 'Nebras.
ka, is chairman of foreign relations.
This committee will have charge,
of the peace treaties after the war
ends. In republican senate; Lodge
of Massachusetts would be chair
men of this committee, the most
important in the senate when peace
terms with the Hun are considered.
In a republican senate. Warren,
Wyoming; or Nelson, Minnesota:
or Cummins, Iowa, would be chair
man of rules, instead the present in,
cumbent, Overman, democrat, Of
North Carolina.
Adler Leadership.
Thomas, democrat, Colorado, Is
chairman of coast defenses. He
comes from a state with no ocean
coast line. Fernald, Maine. would
succeed him if the senate Is repub-
lican. 49,,
Smith, South Carolina, democrat,
heads interstate commerce. He
would be succeeded in republican
senate by Cummins, Iowa, or Town
send, Michigan.
The parallel could be drawn
all along the line. A republican
senate would be guarantee to the
people of ADLER and more experience
ed leadership than exists at this
time.
