 only a waste of time and money to take medicine internally for chronic and muscular rheumatism and about ninety-nine out of a hundred cases are one or the oth- CT of these varities. All that is really necessary to afford relief is to apply Chamberlain's Llni- ment freely. Try it. It costs but 35 cents per bottle. Large size 50 cents. Adv

Omaha Grain Market
Not Embargoed, the
Exchange Declares

The railroad situation has cleared
up to such an extent that the grain
control committee of the Omaha
Grain exchange has authorized the
shipment of grain to this market
freely.
1t has been proven to their salts
faction that the Omaha market can
handle, without danger of conges-
ton, a larger volume of shipments
than originally authorized. 1t is the
general opinion of those best in
formed, and it is concurred in by
representatives of the United States
Grain corporation and members of
the grain control committee, that
with the railroad troubles settled,
the Omaha market can absorb and
handle, at least for a considerable
period, all grain which may be Of

WORLD CONFLICT
War Broke IronmaSter's
Heart, Says Chauncey De.
peW-FuneraI Thursday
to Be Private.

Lenox, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE MINI
Der of those who wifi hear the flu
neral rites over the body of Andrew
Carnegie at 1920 o'clock Thursday
morning will be greater than was
expected. 1t was originally planned
to have those at the service limited
closely but since the death of the
once great ironmaster word has
been received from more and more
of his close associates and the list
of those expected has gradually ex-
banded
Rev. DR.. William Pierson Mer-
rill, pastor of the Brick Presbyter-
ian church of New York, of which
Mrs. Carnegie is member, will
officiate. assisted by the Rev. Ben
son N Wyman, pastor of the Lenox
Congregational church.
Plans Withheld.
The plans for the removal of the
body to Tarrytown, N. Y, have
been withheld as it is the wish of
the family that the transfer be made
with as little publicity as possible.
There were few callers today at
Shadow Brook.
Among the guests at the Aspin-
wall is perhaps the only former as
sociate of Mr. Carnegie who was
his elder and survives him. This is
Chauncey NJ Depew, now in his 86th
year and who spoke today OF Mr.,
Carnegie as his junior.
Reciting how Carnegie had de-
voted millions in efforts to prevent
war. he said the world conflict had
broken Mr.. Carnegie's heart and that
the ironmaster was never the same
after war was declared.
Peace Propaganda.
"He became obsessed with the
idea" said Mr.. Depew, "that the flu
ture of the world depended on the
abolition of war. He created a per
manent fund for the propaganda Of
peace. He built the palace at The
Hague for its home.
81 never knew any one so inter
ested in any one thing as he was in
the peace of the world. He firmly
believed that his efforts to prevent
war would succeed. When war came,
surprising in its tragedies, it broke
Mr. Carnegie's heart. He was never
the same again"
Wilson Sends Coincidence.
Washington, Aug. l2.-President
Wilson sent the following message
of coincidence today to Mrs. Andrew
Carnegie:
May l not express my deep SYM
pathy at the loss of your distin-
guished husband? His death con-
stitutes a very serious loss to the
forces of humanity and enlightened
public spirit. and takes out Of the
world a force which it could i'll at
ford to spare"

CONCENTRATION
OF AIR SERVICE
RECOMMENDED
Special American Aviation
Mission Brings in Report
Which Baker Opposes.

Washington, Aug, l2.-Concen-
tration of the air activities of the
United States. civilian, naval and
military, within the direction of
single governmental agency with
an official holding place in the
presidents cabinet at the head is
recommended by the special Ameri-
can aviation mission, headed by
Assistant Secretary of War Crowell,
which has been studying aircraft
developments in Europe.
In making public the report
Secretary Baker disapproved the
recommendation for a department
of aviation, holding that the mis-
sion has in my Judgment gone too
far in suggesting single central
lied air service"
The proposed department of avia-
ton, the mission asserted in its re-
port, should be charged with full
responsibility for placing and main
tanning our country in the front rank
among nations in the development
and utilization of aircraft for the
national security and in the ad-
vancement of civil aerial transporta-
ton and communication art"
In disagreeing with this feature
Of the report, Mr.. Baker said:
Army and navy aviators are spe-
cialists in the art; both the airplanes
and the pilots needed are of diff
ferent type from those needed in
civilian undertakings. A separation
of the air service from the army
or the navy would require co-ordina-
ton of their activities in time of
war, whereas effectiveness in military
operation rests upon the concentra-
ton and sinsleness Of authority,
command and purpose"

Bohemians in Omaha !

vakia. The decrease is startling.
In the city of Prague there were
$50 births in 1914, and only 2,675
in 1918. In the large industrial
suburb of Zizkov there were 1884
births in 1910, S94 in 1917, and only
$50 in 1918, less than one-tifth of
the normal.
ITO help these unfortunate vic
tins of the world war, The Alice
Masaryk fund was started, aud the
Bohemians OF Omaha and Nebraska
are contributing freely. In the last
two months the local Bohemlans
have sent $4,000 worth of provi-

Czechoslovakia, and all of this has
been bought in Omaha. Now they

WATTLES WILL
AID IN CAMP A|CN
AGAINST \. c. l..
Will Return to Omaha From
Summer Home at Los An
geles to Reorganize Food
Administration.

Food Administrator G. w. Wat
ties of Nebra ska has notified At
torney General Palmer that he will
attempt to reorganize a working
committee in this state in response
to his request to aid in the CAM
paign against prohteers.
Mr.. Wattles is at his summer
home in Los Angeles, Cal, and will
return to Nebraska as soon as pos
sible to take active charge of the
work. In addition to the regular
administration personnel price
fixing committee will be named to
establish a fair price" list of food
commodities in Nebraska.
In telegram to business asso-
ciates Mr.. Wattles said that he
would appoint the committee as
soon as possible in order that they
may start their probe into the cost
OF living.
Mayor Smith yesterday said he
was uncertain when he would re-
sumo investigation of cars of spoiled
fruits and vegetables, discovered on
railroad tracks here.
II am having further investlga-
tons made by the police depart
ment," he said "A commission man
told me the investigation already
has had the effect of making con-
signees of fruit and vegetables more
careful about attending to their
shipments when received. He as
sured me there would be no more
cars Of spoiled fruits or vegetables
found in Omaha"
B. B. Jones, in charge of the local
federal bureau of markets, will tes-
tify before the city council when
the investigation shall be resumed.
He will erlighten the council on the
system used here and in ether cities
by his bureau. The local federal
bureau records show that since Aug
ust !, 81 carloads of watermelons
were received in Omaha and that
four were reconsigned to other
points. The police Investigations
showed that nine cars were allowed
to spoil in whole or in part on the
local tracks.
The mayor expects to show that
the local commission men did not
suffer loss on these spoiled water
melons, but that they came out even
by charging excessive prices.
Think of watermelons being sold
here for S cents a pound, and ven-
ture to state that hundreds of boys
and girls in Omaha did not taste
watermelon this summer, and here
we have a situation of nearly nine
cars being allowed to spoil after be-
ing received in Omaha" the mayor
said.

The bull had just fallen out of a

"Not so fast said the motorcycle

paused.
Trap thought the bull wanted to
be friends. Somewhere he had read
that animals are rendered docile by
kindness. But this bull spurned

After an Intellectual attempt to
get the bull into reverse and backed

Out on the links went the bull and
the motorcycle bull" went there
too.
Then the bull laid. down beneath

ALL ARGUMENTS
IN F0RD'S SUIT
ARE CONCLUDED
Last Word Spoken by Senior
Counsel for Plaintiff;
Case Goes to Jury
Thursday.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. IT,
The evidence and the final argu-
ments in Henry Ford's 100000
libel suit against the Chicago Daily
Tribune are all in. The last word
was spoken by Alfred Lucking,
senior counsel for the plaintiff, to-
day, Tomorrow Judge Tucker will
formulate his instructions and
Thursday he will deliver them to
the jury.
The final appeal on behalf of the
defendants was by Atty Elliott G.
Stevenson, preceding Mr.. Lucking.
Issue Squarely Joined.
The issue was squarely joined,
Mr., Stevenson contending that Mr..
Ford was an anarchist in June, 1916,
when the Tribune so characterized
him, and Mr.. Lucking asserting
that there was no man in the United
States farther removed from an
archy.
Mr.. Stevenson read statement
after statement from the Ford peace
propaganda and similar ones from
the writings of Emma Goldman,
and declared that the jury could not
tell which was Goldman and which
was Ford.
Mr.. Lucking characterized the ad-
dress of Mr.. Stevenson as a power
full appeal to the passions and pre-
JUDGES of the Jury.
1T calls for consideration at your
hands. from which every item of
prejudice and every element of the
extraneous has been eliminated" he
said
Draws Distinction.
This you must bear in mind when
you consider damages" said Mr..
Lucking. The lawyer drew a dis
tinction between "president' and
government"
>"When President Wilson asks
congress for legislation, he is not
the government; when congress
passes that legisla ton and it be-
comes law and the president puts it
into execution, he is the govern
ment," said the advocate. He point
ed out that in arguing against in
creasing the national guard in 1916,
Mr.. Ford was opposing President
Wilson, but not the government.
The Ford lawyer took up the
question Of the right Of fair COM
ment" claimed by the Tribune in de-
tense of the editorial and asserted
that the right existed with regard
to comment on views but not COM
ment on individuals.
Pro-Germanism Alleged.
The speaker insisted that it was
the "pro-Germanism' of the Tri-
bune which led it to advocate inter-
vention in Mexico and that the at
tack on Mr.. Ford was due to a
malicious resentment of his opposi-
ton. He emphasized that while the
newspaper paid its employees while
they were with the national guard
on the border, it did not do so in
the war against Germany.
"The Tribune was not interested
in the great war; it opposed it to
the last" said Mr.. Lucking.
