WHO IS THE RICHEST MAN?

Who is the richest man in the
world? Some say Rockefeller.
Not so very long ago the stock
answer to this question was:
"The car of Russia" History
has furnished sardonic sequel
to. that preposterous delusion.
Nor is Rockefeller now the rich
est man in the world. Out in Ne
braska, however, there is a man
who confesses that he is enor-
mously rich, that counts. Who
can doubt that, if the truth were
known some such Midas as this
Nebraskian is actually the
worlds richest man? Compared
with his, how cheap, how worse
than worthless were the possess
sions of that poor puppet, Mich
olas, car of Russia, at the hei-
ght of his so-called power, his
tinseled magnificence?
Nebraska's rich man-his
name is E. Meyers-writes to
the editor of the Norfolk (Neb.)
News:
II wonder if you knew that
one of the richest men in the
world lives fourteen miles north
of Norfolk right here in Nebr-
aska !? That man is the writer. l

If among the innunerable beverages

nothing to quench his thirst, he must
have been hard to satisfy. The Pilgrim
