Uncle Sam is usually fair and NAV

they step inside ball park. In foot

YEGGMEN MUST BLUSH.

The tactics persued by some of our
illustrious title holders would make q
yeggman blush for shame. The fault
Is not wholly in the game, as 1t Is In
the minds and souls OF those who con-
stitute it's personnel.
Like Hindenburg and the kaiser con-
tracts are worth no more to them than
the paper on which they are written
and most times not half that much.
1t Is quite true that a boxer con-
socrates the best OF his life to the
game and deserves high pay, but not
as high as he demands In their feeble
minds they have confused promoting
with philanthropy and the more they
ask for the SITTER is the jolt absorbed
by the gluttonous fan, But as long as
he is willing to be the sucker and
cough up with the usual delight, Just
so long will high prices prevail
To the sane business man, boxers are
worth just what they can draw at the
gate. Not one penny more.

Gray hair, however handsome, de-

Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

time recipe improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients. Thousands
of folks recommend this ready-to-
use preparation, because it darkens
the hair beautifully, besides, no one
can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten
a sponge or soft brush with it, draw
ing this through the hair, taking one
small strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, its natural
color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you
appear years younger.-Adv.

Federal Wheat Price
to Keep Acreage for
Corn to the Minimum

Omaha grain dealers are of the
opinion that the Nebraska and Iowa
acreage into spring wheat will be
the greatest in years and that the
acreage put into corn will be cor
respondingly less. With the govern
ment having guaranteed SIPS a bu-
shell for the best grade of wheat
the high price is going to be an in
ducement to sow wheat. On the
other hand, with corn gradually
dropping in price, with possibility
that next fall it may sell under 81
bushel, there is an inducement
to keep the corn acreage down to
the minimum.
Last year many Nebraska and
Iowa farmers sowed spring wheat
and while the yield was not enor-
nous, it is said that it averaged IL
to IS bushels an acre and that on
the farms it fetched an average of
So bushel. FL
There is an abundance of spring
wheat for seed. Large quantities are
held i'll the Omaha terminal elevators
and it is said the same. is true with
reference to the stocks still in the
country. With spring wheat sown
this season it will be grown and
marketed in ample time to come
under the terms of the government
price guarantee.

WOUNDED CARE

SAYS OMAHAN
Tells of Federal IneffiCienCy
in Handling Transportation
of Wounded in Harvey'S
Weekly.

Championing the cause OF our
wounded heroes enroute from
France to western reconstruction
hospitals, has brought J, T. Stewart,
"a, into the national limelight. In
a letter published in a recent issue
of Harvey's Weekly, the Omaha
man calls attention to government
and railroad meficiencies in hand
ling the transportation of wounded
soldiers with comfort to the in
jured men. ...-. ..-
Food Arrangement Inadequate.
Inadequate food arrangements are
especially scored by Mr.. Stewart,
whose wife and sisters-in-law, Mrs.
Charles Kountze and Mrs. Luther
Kountze. are active in Red Cross
canteen work. .,,.
"These conditions are not williul
on the part of the government, OF
course. 1t is just that not enough
attention has been given to detail
in caring for these men" said Mr..
Stewart.
His letter, which has aroused
comment in New York and Wash
ington circles, follows;
Mistreating Wounded Soldiers.
"Sir: have for some time in
tended TO take up with you the aw-
ful conditions under which our
wounded soldiers are being returned
10 their homes, but have deferred
doing so, thinking that the govern
ment would, without being prodded,
realize the entire inadequaey OF its
facilities and would make an effort
To better them; but as the govern
ment does not seem to be conscious
of the awful conditions, ! am writ
ing this letter to you, asking that
YOU get after them with a view to
lettering the conditions under
which these wounded heroes are be-
ing sent home. ....-
"My wife has been interested IN
the Red Cross work and it was
while helping her at the Union sta
ton canteen that have seen the
things which cause me to write this
letter.
"In the first place, it appears that
when the trainloads of wounded sol
diers leave New York City, they
are furnished with a so-called "a
hour ration, which, according to
every officer with whom have
talked, is promptly thrown out OF
the window, due to the fact that
there are no refrigerator facilities
provided, with the result that the
food would spoil if the officers in
charge attempted to keep it, The
soldiers are absolutely dependent
upon the Red Cross canteens on
their trip from New York to San
Francisco for the feeding of the
patients, and that this condition
should exist is about as ridiculous
az any that | can imagine.
"Please get this point: That the
government makes such an unintelli-
gerf effort 10 feed these returning
wounded soldiers that not an ounce
6f the food that the government
furnishes is used. suppose that
