SOFT CORN MUST
MOVEAT ONCE TO
SAVE Big CROP
Grain Exchange Head Says
Loss to Farmers Will Be
Enormous Unless Corn
Is Shipped.
(From a Staff Correspondent

Washington, D. G., Jan. l.-(Spe.
cial Telegram.)-J. A Linderholm,
president of the Omaha Grain Ex-
change, in telegram to Congress
man Lobeck states that unless the
volume of cars for moving the soft
corn in the territory tributary to
Omaha is materially increased during
the next 90 days it will mean heavy
losses to producers and shippers.
Mr.. Lobeck at once took up the
matter with the Interstate Commerce
commission, and on Wednesday will
have a conference with the director
general of railroads, Secretary Nc
Adoo, on the same subject.
He will also take up with the Sec
retary the desirability of establish
ing a school at Omaha for the train
ing OF young men in the handling,
construction and care of locomotives.
Such schools are being regarded as
vitally necessary under existing con-
ditions.
George Coupland of the Nebraska
state council of defense, who has been
in Washington for several days in
conference with Attorney General
Gregory, will leave for his home in
Lincoln tomorrow.

was the rule with those hauling pas

there were a large number OF per-

SAY PEOPLE RESENT
STATE BARS ADVICE
Opposition to Recent Selection
of Supreme Bench Candidates
by Lawyers Dampens Con-
vention's Ardor.
(From a Staff correspondent.)

Lincoln, Jan. 1.-(Special.) 1.-The
action of the State Bar association
of voting to select three candidates
for the supreme bench, acting as
sort of advisory committee to the
people, is causing considerable COM
ment and it appears to be about a
standoff in the minds of those who
are not within the pale OF the legal
profession as to whether an endorse
ment of man will mean much to-
ward his success or not.
Tie fact that such men as Judge w.
V. Allen, Judge Holmes and Supreme
Judge Hamer opposed the idea on the
floor of the legal convention had a
tendency rather to dampen the en-
thusiasm of the convention, and after
voting practically unanimously to
make recommendation, speech by
Judge Hamer after such action was
taken, caused the association to re-
fuse to adopt a plan for putting into
effect the manner Of the selection,
passing it on to the executive COM
mittee to work out.
Th cfact that Judge Hamer will
be a candidate for renomination
makes his opposition to the plan in
teresting and in the minds OF many
may cause complications which may
make the endorsement of any man a
sort of questionable asset.
People May Resent 1t.
The judge was not at all backward
in charging that the people would
resent the action of the layers in
picking out candidates fer the su-
prer1e bench, and after the action was
taken, said it would be just as fair
for the railroads to select the candi-
dates for the railway commission, Sthe
teachers the candidates for state sup
erintendent, the bankers the head of
the banking board, or the county
treasurers the state treasurer.

(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 1.-The German naval
delegation at Petrograd, according to
the correspondent of the Daily Mail in
the Russian capital. has reached an
agreement with the Bolsheviki gov
ernment for raising the blockade" OF
the White sea, and for the regulation
of maritime commerce, which is ex-
pected to begin with the impending
arrival at Reval of ships with goods
from Germany. t-.-
A dispatch to the Daily Express
from Petrograd says that German
ships already have free access to Rus
sian waters, and the government is
taking precautions to protect them
from British submarines. The first
commercial squadron is expected be-
fore the Russian Christmas, on Janu-
ary 7.
Special dispatches from Petrograd
refer again to the subject of food
shortage, which, according to the cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail, is
steadily become more critical. The
correspondent of the Daily News says
that the hotel in which he is staying is
piled with crates OF provisions bearing
Berlin stamps. He adds that the Ger
man delegation, expecting an immedi-
ate famine, brought its own food.
Berlin newspaper reports received
in Amsterdam say that Foreign Secre-
tary Won Kuehlmann, while coming to
Berlin from Brest-Litovsk, stopped
at Warsaw to confer with the Polish
premier. The Polish government. it

RULES ON CHRISTMAS GIVING ARE
 MODIFIED
National Council of Defense Lifts Ban After Conference With Mercantile
 Interests

The State Council of Defense has been advised that the ban upon Christmas giving has been modified by National Council of Defense. after a conference with the retail mercantile interests. The limited authorization now ex- tended is conditioned upon both the retailers and the public co operating for early moderate and common sense purchasing.
 The National Council has au thorized the following statement of it's policy through the medium of the state council:
 s.The Council of National De- fense has heretofore emphasized the necessity of restricting Christmas buying during the coming fall for certain specific reasons which it has stated. These reasons are, in brief, the necessity of saving labor and material in the manufacture and sale of Christmas gifts and of

saving the transportation and delivery facilities necessarily in yolved in the large volume of Christmas purchases.
 After conference with repre- sentatives of leading industries. and retail interests concerned, it is found that the manufactul e of goods for the coming holiday season has been substantially completed. that the tranSporta tion of the goods to the point of sale is largely done, and that much of the material used for Christmas purchases. especially in the manufacture of toys. is the waste material derived from prior processes of manufacture
 The retail interests repre- sented at the conference have agreed not to increase their work ing force by reason of the holi- day business over the average force employed by them through out the year and not to increase the normal working hours of their force during the Christi mas season. They have also agreed to use their utmost eff forts to contine Christmas giving except for young children. to useful articles ana to spread the

people can be had which alone will permit the continuance of holiday business in such form and by such methods as are con. sisteut with the national welfare.
 This modification is definitely conditioned upon a loyal and thorough cooperation in spirit and in letter on the part of buy CTS and sellers.
