The cereal crops of the United States
were worth over $7,0OO,000,0OO to the
farmers who raised them in 1918. The
product of these crops, all together,
was a little under the total for 1917,
but, while the prices Of some OF the
cereals were lower in 1918 than in
1917, the prices of others were suffl-
GENTLY higher to make the total value
of the cereals greater in 1918 by more
than a quarter of a billion dollars.

Professor Munter claims that all
success is due to exuberant good
health, and that a perfect abdomen

gree of health. Corrections of de-
faults in this particular line are his
speciality, and Omaha's most prom
inent society women are taking

ANOTHER CASE
AGAINST Late.
MORALS SQUAD
Mortgaged Ford Sold In Too
Auch of a Hurry-May
Have to Return
It.

An echo of the rough tactics of
the defunct morals squad, which Po-
lice Commissioner Ringer ieralded
would cleanup the town." was
heard Tuesday in the high handed
seizure and illegal sale of another
automobile.
The deal was engineered by the
chief of police and executed by the
members of the morals squad in
the days when that body of lawless.
policemen was at its zenith.
Testimony Of Officers.
William Augustine purchased
Ford car. He was suspected of be-
ing a bootlegger and the morals
squad struck his trail. One night
in August the man was arrested and
his car seized. Augustine was
booked at the central police station
as a bootlegger. He was convicted
in police court on the testimony of
the arresting officers and his auto
mobile confiscated by Chief Eber-
stein.
Augustine was one of the great
many who appealed from the de-
cision of Judge Foster. Despite the
fact that Mrs. Anna Caldwell held
a mortgage on the car, I. B. Muir
ray, the police cour. prosecutor. and
Chief Eberstein agreed that they
would sell the automobile imme-
diately.
Gar Sold" Says Chief.
Preston Clark of the Omaha Tire
and Accessory company, was the
purchaser. When Augustine heard
his car was sold he consulted At
torney William N. Jameson, who
advised his client to call on the po-
lice chief for an explanation.
THE deals closed" was Chief
Eberstein's reply. "Your car is
gone. That's all there is to it.
. Goodby."
As soon as Mr.. Clark was advised
of the deal in which the chief of
police victimized him, he stopped
payment on the check for $50 he
had given for the car.
The machine is being held pend
ing, the outcome of Mr. Augustine's
case in district court. II Augustine
is found not guilty he will be given
back his automobile.
