be used, as the potatoes in them be-
come badly bruised when handled.
The standard veneer potato barrel
with burlap cover is often used in
summer or autumn, but for winter
shipment the double-headed stave bar
rel or tight box is often used. The
small type of package, such as the
bushel hamper, bushel box, or basket,
is gaining in popularity. A neat and
attractive package of well-graded pota-
toes will bring a good price at almost
any time, even when the market is
overstOcked with inferior goods.
Sweet potatoes, when shipped during
the winter, should be protected from
the cold. When a potato becomes
chilled its quality is impaired and de-
cay soon follows. In cold weather the
package should be covered with paper
and the cars heated, in order to pre-
vent chilling the potatoes. Some ship
pers report that it pays to line their
baskets and barrels with paper.

MAYOR OF OMAHA
LYNCHED BY MOB

An attempt to lynch Mayor E. P,
Smith was made by the mob which
later hanged William Brown, a negro,
to light pole.
The mayor had gone to the court
house and held a consultation with
Sheriff Clark. Emerging from the
courthouse he met the mob and began
to make an appeal for law and order.
Somebody shouted Lynch him" and
a member OF the mob threw a rope
around his neck.
Half dozen men dragged the mayor
half a block and threw the loose end
of the rope over trolley pole. Twice
they drew the mayors body from the
ground. Each time two police officers
cut the rope. Following the second
attempt these officers succeeded in
getting the mayor into a police motor
car and rushed him to a surgeons
office nearby The mayor was bleed
ing from his mouth and nose and after
a brief examination by physicians was
taken to hospital.
Els face and body were badly bruis'
ed by being dragged by the mob.
The riot centered about the magnifi.
cent new courthouse building, which
was set on fire in the efforts to reach
William Brown, negro, charged with
criminally attacking Agnes Lobeck, a
white girl, few days ago.
With flames mounting steadily from
floor to floor, Sheriff Mike Clark and
his deputies fought battle of hours
to save Brown, but II o'clock with the
cries of the 100 or more prisoners on
the top floor-the Jail floor-ringing
in his ears, he was compelled to sur.
render the prisoner.
The latter was hurried to an electric
light pole and hanged.

TO BUILD UP STORM
STRICKEN AREA
Senators and Congressman
Urged to Make Visits to
View Havoc Wrought.

Corpus Christi, Tex. - With the
emergency relief situation we'll In
hand, Corpus Christi has turned its
face toward the problems of perma-
nent reconstruction and rehabilitation,
when a dual survey of the entire
storm-stricken area was launched
jointly by the American Red Cross and
Colonel w. D. Cope, commanding the
state military forces, for the purpose
of working out definite plans for has
tening the return OF normal conditions
throughout the devastated districts
and restoring the various communities
as self-sustaining, producing factors in
the industrial and commercial life OF
the state.
In connection with plans for reha-
Utilization an urgent appeal has been
sent to Senators Culberson and Shep-
pard and Representative Garner and
Bee to pay a personal visit to the
torm-stricken area along the gulf
cast to view the havoc wrought by
the hurricane and tidal wave and con-
fer with the citizens in the affected
districts relative to the tremendous
problems with which they are con-
fronted. The appeal is signed by
Mayor Gordon Boone, Roy Miller,
chairman of the citizens general relief
committee, and half dozen other rep
resentative men of Corpus Christi.
A. w. Jones, civilian relief director
for the Southwestern division of the
American Red Cross: in charge of re-
lief measures in the devastated area,
has gone to Arkansas Pass and Rock
port to take charge of the food situa-
ton in those towns where famine con-
ditions were threatened.

ly white. A few days before the exhi-
bition again examine your birds and
pluck the imperfect feathers. 1t is
quite a problem to determine the best
procedure when there is foreign color
in some of the large feathers on the
wings or tail.
Peroxide Blondes in Hen House.
Many exhibitors of white fowls
bleach the pIumage Of their birds with
peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia.
They mix in a china bowl solution
of three parts of peroxide of hydrogen
and one part Of ammonia. A clean
muslin cloth is dipped in the solution
and the bird is wrapped in it. The mus
lin is next covered with oiled silk or
some waterproof cloth to cOntlne the
fumes of the bleaching gas. The per-
oxide-ammonia solution can be spOnged
On the plumage or sprayed with an at
omizer. The only advantage in wrap
ping the bird is to make the bleach
more effective.
The shanks and feet Of exhibition
fowls must be absolutely clean and well
polished. To overcome rough scales
rub the legs twice daily with a cloth
dipped in kerosene and short time
before the show wash them thoroughly.
Use good securing soap, wooden cloth,
and warm rain water. Remove any
old or rough scales, and also the dirt
between the scales. The latter can be
taken out with toothpicks. Dry the
shanks and apply solution of equal
parts of sweet oil and alcohol. Then
warm a wooden cloth and scrape lit
tie beeswax on it. The warmth will
melt the wax, and the shanks should
then be polished with the waxed cloth.
Cosmetics and Cureais of Ugliness.
Before shipping the birds to the ex-
hibition apply the sweet oil and alco-
hol solution to the face and comb. If
you are showing white birds, fill their
plumage after washing and when thor.
oughly dry with equal parts of bran
and rice flour. Some exhibitors use
cornstarch which is equally satisfac-
tory. This prevents the plumage be-
coming soiIed, and when the starch is
shaken out at the show and the fowls
are groomed, they apparently take a
higher polish. However, your coops
must have wooden or muslin tops and
sides to preyerb rain from coming in
contact with the starched plumage. The
final grooming is accomplished with
silk handkerchief, rubbing and polish
ing the feathers until the plumage has
q high luster.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The beauty contest season for pOul-
try is again at hand and fanciers who
previously have fretted over egg rec
ord and feeding ratiOns are now con-
cerned with grooming their birds in
their best bib and tucker and prepar-
ing them for inspection by judges at
fairs and poultry shows.
Something besides external beauty
and fine feathers is required to win in
the show ring. Every fowl, whether
young or mature, should be in first
class show condition when it enters the
exhibition hall. The plumage should
be the standard length for the breed,
lustrous and plentiful, the head bright
red in color, and the comb developed
to the required size. The specimen
should appear in handsome dress, good
physical condition, and trained to ex-
hibit his good qualities to advantage.
Careful training imparts to a bird sufti-
cient confidence to assume and hold
desired poses under showroom condi-
tons.
If possible, obtain exhibition cO0pS
similar to those used at the show you
will attend. Cover the floor with short,
clean straw, or a mixture Of bran and
straw for feathered-leg breeds. Two
months before the show place in the
coops at night the birds you intend to
exhibit. Visit the cOops as frequently
as you can and handle the birds often.
Garry them around under the arm, 0p-
en- their wings and examine the under
color, and accustom them to every
movement of the judge. 1t is not adj
visable or necessary to keep the show
birds confined in the training c0opS. A
day at time is sufficient; then allow
them the run of the house for two or
three days, and outdoor exercise if
seasOnable.
Diet Makes Hens Handsome.
Show birds should receive variety
Of foods. If you wish to increase
weight rapidly, make a mash of equal
parts of corn meal, ground oats, wheat
middlings and thick sour milk or but
termilk. Sweeten it with brown sugar,
and add 10 per cent linseed meal. The
mash should be of the same consist
ency as thick oatmeal porridge. This
is similar to milk-feeding rations. but
! it should be fed only each morning.
Feed whole or cracked corn, wheat, ka-
fir corn, barley, or buckwheat, or a
commercial scratching food, in the mid
die of the day and again in the late af-
ternoon. Feed yellow corn to buff va
rieties, and white corn to white, black
and parti-cOlored. Yellow corn may
cream the plumage of white birds. A
little cooked or raw meat or ground
bone will be beneficial, except to spec
linens inclined to grow large combs.
! 1t is necessary to examine your show
birds carefully at least 10 weeks before
the show. Remove all imperfect feath-
ers in the hope that they will be replac-
ed by feathers of standard color. Ere
quently cOl0red feather showing lit
tie white along the edge of the web will
mott out perfectly when the fowl is well
fed on the sour-milk mash, meat, and
grain. Never pluck a new feather
one in which the quill is filed with flu
| id-as it will invariably return partial

WILSON
ENDS SPEAKING TOUR
Delivered 40 Addresses and
Finished. Over. 5000
Miles of Journey.

III from overexertion on his long
tour for the peace treaty, President
Wilson Friday Cancelled the speaking
dates remaining on his schedule and,
turned back to Washington.
The president acted under orders
from his personal physician, DR.. Carey
T. Grayson, who said in formal state
ment that Mr.. Wilson was suffering
from nervous exhaustion" and that
while his condition was not alarming,
a considerable period Of rest would be
necessary for his recovery"
A plan for Mr.. Wilson to go to New
York to welcome King Albert, the SOW
ereign of Belgium, virtually has been
abandoned but the president expects
to receive the nations visitor later at
the White House. All other engage
ments for the immediate future have
been Cancelled.
After night of illness the president
decided to abandon his trip while his
train was at Wichita, Kan. He did not
leave his private car there, and during
most of the day he was in bed. In
the afternoon and evening he got some
sleep and was able to take some nour-
ishment.
DR., Graysons statement follows:
president Wilson's condition is due
to overwork. The trouble dates back
to an attack of influenza last April in
Paris, from which he has never en-
tirely recovered.
"The presidents activities on this
trip have overtaxed his strength, and
he is suffering from nervous eXhaus-
ton. His condition is not alarming,
but it will be necessary for his re-
covery that he have rest and quiet for
a considerable time. GRAYSON."
At the same time Secretary Tumulty,
issued this statement:
Upon the advice of Rear Admiral
Carey T. Grayson, the presidents ply
sician, it has become necessary to can
eel all the presidents engagements
for the immediate future"
Since he left Washington Sept. 8 the
president has delivered forty speeches
for the treaty, and when he reached
Wichita had travelled more than 5000
miles on his original 10,O00-mile
schedule

Presidents Speech at Cheyenne.

Presidents Speech at Cheyenne.
Cheyenne, Wyo-Reading again the
proposed senate reservation to article
10 of the league covenant, President
Wilson declared in an address We'd
nesday that should any such reserva-
ton be adopted he would "be obliged
as chief executive to regard it as a
rejection of the treaty"
The president added that rejection
of the treaty would mean negotiation
of a separate peace with Germany and
said that such a negotiation could not
change a single item of the, peace
settlement
The reservation read by the presi-
dent was the same that he laid before
his audience at Salt Lake City. By
its provisions the United States would
assume no obligation to preserve the
territorial integrity of other nations
unless congress should so decide
1t is as though you said we shall
not join the league now" said he,
"but may join it from time to time.
We won't promise anything, but from
time to time We may cooperate,
THE thing is unworthy and ridicu-
lous 1t means the rejection of Zhe
treaty, nothing less. The issue is final.
We can't avoid it. We've got to make
the decision now. and once made,
there can be no turning back"
Unless the United States went into
the league now, he added, and assum-
ed its full responsibility, it would have
to come in later with Germany.
