Omaha, Aug. Ito the Editor of The
Bee: When you go out Of your way, in
your hatred against US German-Americans
land l am one of them and proud of it), to
deny US in an editorial the right to organize
for charity, to send goods to our fathers,
mothers, sisters and brothers, you do not
show much of an American spirit, and fail
to see where it will do you or your paper
any good You seem to forget that we are
American citizens, as good as you ever will
be. All German Americans are intensely
pro-American and we have the right to Or
ganize any society we want to as long as it
is not forbidden by law. Jews, Bohemians
and others did the same thing-what we are
going to do. Yet you did not criticize them,
which shows that you are not fair to US.
If you think you can treat US as the col
ored people are treated, or the Jews in Po-
land you are badly mistaken. We are Amer
leans and intelligent and need not be advised
by scallawags what to do or not to do. We
demand our constitutional rights and we will
fight for those rights against any scoundrel
in court.
Remember the war is over and the
espionage law will not always be in force.
and we will go right along doing business
here as before, and, incidentally looking after
bushwhackers who try to traduce one of the
best part of American citizenship
Yours truly, HENRY c. BEHRENS,

H. H. B.--Please let me know
whether have to purchase real es-
tate where the seller agrees to fur
ntsh an abstract Of title brought
down to date, no time was specified
in the contract. After nearly nine
months the purchaser rendered to
me an abstract of title to the prop
erty, which I refused to accept. Can
he hold me to my contract?
Answer-It was the duty of the
purchaser to furnish you an alb
stract, within reasonable time, and
l believe nine months would be con-
sidered unreasonable under ordinary
circumstances.

We want only Americans who are in SYM

|FORCERS CLEAN UP
| ON SALEM STORES
No Trace Found Of Two Men
Who Passed Bad Checks
Here Saturday.

Salem came in for its annual cleaning
up at the hands of bad check artist Sat.
urday afternoon, following banking
hours.
After everybody had reported, ii was
found that bad checks had been passed
on the following firms: Kafoury Bros,
one check for $49.29 and another for
$4S; G. w. johnson & Co., one for sol;
Salem Wooden Mills store, one fcr $54
and another for $55; Peoples cash store
one for $54; 0. J. Schei, one for $53.75
land another for $48.
The checks were presented by two
young men who in their forgery used
the names of DIR. e. E. Fisher, II. J..
McCandless, Ray Schaube and Mayer
iSilverstein, At the Gale & Co. store
and at the Arnold cigar store checks
were rendered, but refused.
Max Solof, Of the Peoples Cash Store,
became suspicious Of his check and went
out to find the man who had passed 1T
and found him at the Oregon Electric
depot Although denying that the check
was not good, the man returned with
Solof to the store and made good vac
amount. An officer was at the Solof
store, but when the affair had been set
!. tied and Mr. Solof had received HIT
money and did not want to prosecute
the man, no arrest was made. Both
the men left town and have not been
heard of since. t1
! While the writing on all of the forged
tchecks was the same, appearing like tht
work of amateurs, their method oil buy
ling was suggestive of the trained crook
In each instance the buying was don'
carefully and at no time were the mes
in hurry. At one store one Of the mel
sat around and discussed matters IL
general. At another store, i'll buying
suit of clothes, the forgcr first looked a
the suit, went out and returned III al
hour stating that this one store had thu
best suits in town. The men WORKED
separately. One told the story Of work
ing out on DIR. Fishers farm, saying
lhe had just been paid off and did no
want to spend too much money.

Rain Damages Prune Crop
Where Foliage Is Light

After investigating prune orchards
yesterday and today, Robert G, Panlus
is of the opinion that the present rains
are doing considerable damage to those
orchards of light foliage, causing
prunes to crack.
Where there is considerable foliage,
the damage is not 50 great, estimated
at about 10 to Is per cent. But the pos
sible big damage running so per cent
or more is on the trees with the light
foliage.
Before the rains, the prune crop in
this part Of the valley was estimated
at so percent. Of normal crop. In
many Of the young orchards there was
prospects of 100 per cent crop. How
ever, if the rains do not continue more
than a day or so, Mr.. Paulus thinks
no real serious damage will be done.
