aero-efght. it is well to explain that
the new Cole product took its name
from the fact that Mr.. Cole as means
of improving the 1919 model made
intensive experiments with aeroplane
engines. The name is said to express
completely the underlying principles
of the cars construction.
Simple, symmetrical and strong the
frame of the Cole Is a worthy founda-
ton for a car expressing the stamina
and power of the Aero Eight. The

many years, along about 1907, 1905
and 1909. franklin cars far outnum-
bered all the cars of all other makes
combined. Mr.. Mccormack. and the
firm he built up. namely the Pendle-
ton Auto Co. has been a direct repre-
sentative of the Franklin factory con-
tinuously since 1907, and a steady
sale OF Franklin cars has been the re-
suit. There has never been a season
that did not see a creditable number
OF these popular cars sold I'm and
around Pendleton. Mr.. Mccormack
has the distinction OF selling more cars
per thousand population than any
other Franklin dealer. One year in
particular having sold nearly ten times
as many cars per 1000 population as
the next nearest dealer. The allot.
ment OF Franklin cars to be sold by
the Pendleton Auto Co. this season is
something over $50. The phenomenal

TEACHERS WILL
GO AHEAD WITH
OR c A n |zAT|0N
Staff Of High School Of Com
merce to Submit Request
for General Increase.
In Pay.

The teaching staff of the Higf,
School Of Commerce is going ahead
with its organization, and within
the next two weeks will submit to
the Board of Education a request
for general increase of salaries.
These teachers contend that the
present salary scale of.So00 to $500
a year. with limited increase if
special summer courses are taken,
is not commensurate with the train
ing necessary to qualify themselves
for their positions. They further
declare that the Omaha public
school salaries are considerably be-
low the average of other cities.
Plan Larger Organization.
There are rumors in school cir
cles that this organization is to be
the nucleus of larger ganization
of school teachers, the ultimate aim
being to affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor, as is being
done in few other cities.
The grade school teachers formed
an organization nearly two years
ago, announcing at that time that it
was for mutual and professional
benefits in an educational sense,
rather than as a union to demand
higher pay.
President w. E. Reed of the
Board of Education does not favor
the unionization of teachers. He
said it was not necessary, and he
added that he did not believe that
an organized demand for increase
of pay would be received with favor
BY the board.
Data From Other Cities.
A week ago Chairman Arthur
Wells of the teachers committee an
nounced that his committee has
been working for two months, OBJ
tanning data from other cities on
the subject Of salaries. He said he
believed the information already re-
ceived indicated that in some re-
spects Omaha should advance its
public school salaries.
The legislature has authorized the
school district of Omaha to levy
50 mills, instead of the old max
imum of IS mills. 1t is expected
that the next school levy will be
on the 50-mill basis.

FOUR OMAHA men
CLEAN UP Three
MILLION IN CORN
George A. Roberts Reported
Biggest Winner, With
$1,5O0,000 to
His Credit.

II reports are true. four Omaha
men are some 100000 richer in tn.
aggregate than they were Januar,
1, this year. They have made theil
money in corn.
The talk around the Omaha Grair
exchange is that George A. Robert.
has cleaned up $l,500,000; Nels B
Updike, AL. Kinsler and w. ]
Hynes, 100000 each, with John A
Cavers, $250,000 to the good. Rob
erts admits the truthfulness of tn.
statement, but the others are non
:ommittal
To make this SNUG sum Of money
the Omahans did not attempt to cor,
ner the corn market. They simply
bought corn when they could picl
it up at prices that they considered
snaps, held it and let loose wher
good profits had been made, unload
ing onto Chicago and New Yorl
dealers who wanted corn and wantec
it badly.
Start to Buy.
Last January a number of the
Omaha grain dealers conceived the
idea that corn was a good thing tc
have. Consequently when the Ar,
gentine cereal commenced to arrive
in New York, selling the market of
6 to 10 cents a bushel, they started
to buy.
The downward trend of corn con.
tinued but a few days, but still the
Omaha men, particularly George A
Roberts, Al. Kinsler. Nels Updike
and w. ]. Hynes, took over about al
OF the offerings. The slump wa:
shortlived and then the upturr
started and continued ever since.
The advance in prices did no,
scare the Omaha men out of the
game, but instead they continued tc
buy corn for May, July and Septem.
Der delivery. From SIPS and $1.3(
the options climbed to around $l.70
Then while the Omahans chung tc
the opinion that the top had not
been reached, they commenced to lei
60 of their holdings, concluding thai
they had made enough in one deal.
Deal in Futures.
While the Omahans dealt to a
considerable extent in the futures
on corn, they were long on the &C
tual grain and when the end OF
March ives reached and settlement
time rolled around. lot of eastern
brokers and dealers who had sold
short. were forced to come TO the
big five" of Omaha for stocks to
fill contrtcts. In this way the
Omaha men cleaned up nice profit
on their investments, in many in
stances having made profit of sc
to IS cents bushel on corn tina,
had been held not to exceed 10 to
80 days. !.
As to what corn is going to do in
the future, there are numerous opin-
ions. Generally, Omaha dealers are
Of the opinion that it is going to con-
tinue ito advance. They believe that
the United States must feed the
world until after the next harvest
and that before that time arrives the
stocks in this country will have
reached the lowest point in years.
Later in the season, if prospects
for the next corn crop are good,
most of the Omaha grain men antici-
pate lower market. but even with a
bumper crop they say that ST corn
is long way off and that this price
is not likely to be reached for a year
and perhaps longer.
