Make Home for Young Wife

David Merriman, freed by Police
Judge Fitzgerald Wednesday, when
his youthful wife appeared in his be-
half, has found employment at the
Union Stock yards.
Mrs. Merriman, whose youth and

And David, who didn't deny that

ance of his wife, whom he says he
really loves, that she will be wait

comes.
In the meantime, Mrs. Merriman

Of Marital Troubles

An extraordinary number Of cases
OF marital trouble caused by the
wife's desire TO continue commercial
work engaged in during the war are
coming to the attention of the well
fare board, Superintendent Werlich
says.
I'VE have a half a dozen cases of
this kind right now," he said. Some
of the women have children and in
one case the wife has been married
II years and just resumed CONNER
cial work a year ago. The husband
now complains that their children
are not being cared for properly and
he wants his wife to give up her po-
sition and resume care OF their
household.
In all these cases we are doing
our best to persuade the women to
quit their jobs and go back TO the
care of their homes, which is the
true sphere of woman"

The first act of the play, consist
ing Of II songs, was written by John

BUTLER Up IN AIR

STATE SOL0NS
City Commissioner Says He's
"AStOniShed" at Commit
tees Action on City
Asphalt Plant Bill.

City Commissioner Butler says he
was astonished to learn that the
committee in the legislature which
considered the bill taking the city
asphalt plant away from his depart
ment has reported it for passage.
Il saw Representative Druesedow
in Omaha last Saturday and he told
me the bill was far down on the list
and wouldn't come up for considera-
ton for a long time" said Mr.. But
Ter. Seems TO me there's Skuldug-
gerry all around to get hold of my
job"
The bill in question takes the as
phalt plant away from Commission
er Buffers department and places it
under direction, of Commissioner
fowls department. AT the time the
present council was organized last
May Commissioner FOWL tried to
get the asphalt plant in his depart
ment, but was prevented because of
the reading of the law. A few weeks
ago the present bill was introduced,
fathered ostensibly by former job
holder in 4he asphalt plant under ex-
Commissioner Parks.
Butler Blames FOWL.
Mr.. Butler made an investigation
when the bill was introduced and
says he found the bill was written in
Commissioner fowls Office.
"The bill, as it is recommended
for passage, takes not only the as
phalt plant away from my depart
ment, but also the street mainte-
nance" said Commissioner Butler.

TWO BIG TRACTS
OF BLUFFS Land
CHANGE HANDS
Entire Section Of Real Estate
Adjoining Union Pacific
Property Sold to
Omaha Men.

Two big real estate transactions
we're recorded yesterday that
aroused considerable interest in
business circles. They involved the
transfer Of the large tract of land
adjoining the Union Pacific property
south Of Council Bluffs and held in
the name OF Henry Veeder Chicago
lawyer intimately associated with
the Swift Packing company, and
placed the property in the hands OF
Omaha men.
The Swift lands, bought as
threat against the South Omaha
Stock Yards company with the de-
elared purpose OF the Big Five"
packers to take the stock yards from
Omaha and locate them in Council
Bluffs, originally comprised about
400 acres, but the transfers yester-
day included all of section<ll, $40
acres, extending from the Council
Bluffs city limits to Manawa, the
best section of the whole territory
in the Manawa district.
The first transaction was the
transfer OF the property by Henry
Veeder and wife to Melvin Sturgeon
Of Henderson. Ia, for a considera-
ton of $4,000. Sturgeon immed-
lately reconveyed the land to John
C. Peterson and John c. Bekins
OF Omaha for $4,000.
Mystery in Deal.
The Omaha men are now said to
be interested in large cold storage
property in Omaha. Just what is
behind the deal Bluffs men have not
been able to determine, but there is
belief that the transactions rep
resent something more than simple
zeal estate deal. Sturgeon is said
10 be interested in Burlington rail-
DAD affairs.
The property transferred adjoins
The more than 1000 acre tract own
ed by the Union Pacific, part of
which is now being utilized for the
increased terminal facilities, on
which the federal government is
cXpending $l,700,000. 1t lies next
10 the last 400 acres bought by
President Hartman several years
ago development of which stopped,
however, after scores of railway
tracks had been started. 1t was then
said to be contemplated as the site
Tor the shops and yardage of the
whole Hartman system in the west.
