Has been attained by the Albert Ed
holm Jewel Shop, 10th and Harvey
streets, through the outstanding in
dividuality and artistic value of the
jewels shown. Mr.. Edholm, who
has gathered jewels from all parts
of the world, delights in selecting
rare pieces, each with an intimate
personal note. A few weeks ago he
was able to obtain delicate bow
knot brooch of platinum with a sug-
gestion of shadow in the folds of
the ribbon expressed by calibre sap
phires. This brooch at once called
to his mind the personality of a
charmingly dainty woman, promi-
nent in Omaha's social world. En-
inently suited to her this jewel is
worn with her most striking cos
tunes. Probably the most lowell
gift sold by Mr.. Edholm during the
holidays was that which one of Fort
Omaha's captains made to his wife
a woman of distinctive beauty. Sc

PERCENTAGE PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
FOR ALL COAL CARS
B. & o. Hopes for Better
Supply of Empties in
Few Days.

Car percentage is in force on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad CON-
mencing today, and 1T begins with
but $50 cars on the Monongah divis-
ion. The per centage plan was devils
ed to secure fair distribution of emp
ties among the different coal regions
on the B. & o. system at a time when
the supply is below the demands OF
the operators. In the past it has on
ly been a partial success as far as
this region is concerned and has led
to great deal of controversy between
the Fairmont field operators and the
road. The reason for this has been
that the Monongah division for one
reason and another has always suf-
fered in comparison with the other
fields on the system. When the rail
roads were taken over by the govern
ment and the slate was wiped clean
the Monongah division was many
thousand cars behind the number to
which it was entitled under the pei
centage system of car distribution.
With the car supply shot to pieces
mining interests are suffering in the
Fairmont region. The Consolidation
Coal Company today has compara.
lively few mines working. Pitcairn
and Junior of the Clark interests are
both down. The other operators are
affected in about similar proportions

PR|CESFORARMY'S
SURPLUSE0ODARE
RECEIVED IN CITY
Unlikely That Car Load
Lots Will Be Ordered
for Fairmont.

A price list of surplus government
food stuffs for sale to municipalities,
was received by Commissioner of FL
nance ]. Walter Barnes this morning.
The price list is that far carload lots
purchased from the Zone Supply Of
flee in Chicago, ILL.,, the cost of freight
and distribution to be added, but gives
one an idea of the reasonable prices
which the government is asking for its
surplus food.
In view of the fact that the govern
ment Is arranging to have the food
stuffs ordered and delivered through
the Postoffice department, it is not
probable that the city of Fairmont will!
place an order as originally propose ed.
Acting Postmaster Clyde Holt had
not received any official notice of the
plan to distribute food through the
postoffice at late hour today, but is
expecting the official notice together
with price list in most any mail.
1t is tn eoplnion of the city officials
that the food ca nbe ordered through
the postoffice at approximately the
same price that It could be ordered by
the city with the freight and cost OF
distribution added thereto. The par
eel post rates on the food should be a
small item.
The price list of food stuffs received
by Commissioner Barnes this morning
reveals some interesting figures in
comparison with the prices prevailing
in the retail trade.
Bacon in crates for "a cents per
pound while that put up in twelve
pound tins sells for 36 cents per
pound. No. baked beans nut up by
the w. H. Dyer Packing company sell
for .074 per can.
No. 2 peas put up by some of the

STOCKHOLM. Aug. 1.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.) - The Svenska Dag
bladt is informed by persons closely
connected with the Russian Soviet gov
ernment that Nikaoli Lenine. the pre-
mier, intends to begin drastic change
of policy and then retire.
One condition of his retirement will
be that Leon Trotzky the Bolsheviki
war minister be left in command Of the
Red army.
At recently held meetings of the So
Wet commissary, the newspapers in
formant says, the question of giving
power into the hands of other So
ciahstic parties was earnestly dis
cussed, but Lenine declared the best
way to check reaction as represented
by Admiral Kolchak, head of the all
Russian government at omsk, would
be to drop power for. a time in order to
prove that no other party was able to
reorganize Russia.
This, Lenine contended, would
