Another Side
To Agitation
On Grain Price
Farmers Said to Be Suffering
Slump No More Than 9th
ers-Prices May Go
Still Lower.

The farmers contribution to the
lowered cost OF living is neither
greater nor less than that of manu-
facturers, wholesalers and business
men all down the line, according to
the views of number of Omaha
men familiar both with agricultural
conditions and other industries.
For the last three or four years the
farmers have enjoyed prosperous
times, it is pointed out, and sold
their crops at much more than nor
NAL prices. Eve.l this year, with all
quotations lower, the farmers in
come from grain will be little less
than double the value of the same
crops the year before the war. The
return from wheat, corn, oats, bar
ley and rye at Chicago board of trade
prices this year IS estimated at $5,-
337, 100000, as compared with ST.
S74, 600, 900 the year before the-war.
Tend 70 Normally.
In the campaign to reduce the cost
of living the farmer is said to occupy
the same position as everybody else
in business. The merchants have
cut their prices correspondingly on a
great many articles, and the whole
business world shows signs of re-
sumption of normal conditions.
We've got more grain this year
than was ever raised before" said
a man familiar with production and
problems, Nebraska has
its full share of the bumper crops.
l believe most of the farmers are
satisfied to take their share of the
cut this year, the same as every
other business man. Yet there are
some, many of whom appear to be
salaried men, trying to- start new
to hold back the har-
vest for war prices. 1t is a big ques-
ton, whether anyone advising the
farmer to hold his grain off the
market is friend or. foe of the
farmer"
Farmers Need Credit.
"What Nebraska farmers need is
cheaper credit. What we should
work for is return to the condition
where they could borrow money on
their farms at or per cent. Since

No similar case has ever beer

Mr.. Feldman, who is contractor
was married in Kalancourtz, Russia
ON January 5, 1908. His marriage
was the elimination of childhood
lomance--a romance filled with
dreams of home in America.
Honeymoon Was Short.

moon was scarcely completed.
Before leaving, however, he prom
ised his wife to send her money that
she and the two babies might join
him as soon as possible.
He was not able to do this, how
ever, until late in 1914, when the dew
astating flames of war had swept
q large part of his native country.
He does not know whether his wife
received the money or not, he says.
Four long, trying years he waited
for her arrival. When the war
ceased he attempted to get pass
port from this government. He was
determined to go to Russia and lind
his little family.
But he was informed he could not
secure passport because he was
not a citizen of this country.
He then applied at the naturaliza-
ton examiners office for citizenship
papers, only to learn he could not
become a citizen of the United
States as long as his family resided
m foreign country.
He was informed it would be I'M
possible for him to enter Russia
without being forced into the bolshe-
wiki forces, unless he had passport
from this government. There was
but one thing to do.
Granted on Desertion.
He filed pstition for divorce in
district court. Nudge Wakely. after
some consideration, granted it, on
the grounds of desertion.
And now Mr.. Feldman is prepar-
ing to become naturalized so he may
secure passport and rescue his lit
tie family.
Il can scarcely wait to see my
wife and children he declared.
when the decree was rendered.
Think of it. Gabriel is II and Abra-
ham is 9-why they're almost
grown.
