CLEARED BY BOYFAMILY CALLED
Ten Held In Iowa Crime
Pouches Under
Lake Ice

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Nov. 19.
Seven more arrests, one confes-
sion, the recovery of a large amount
of the money and the discovery of
an automobile last night resulted to-
day in clearing the mystery sur
rounding the $3,500,000 mail car
robbery in the local railroad vars
Saturday night. The total amount
of money recovered was not an
nounced. Ten persons in all are
now under arrest.
Orville Phillips, 17-year-oid, sur
rendered to postal authorities here
yesterday and, according to officials,
confessed to a part in the robbery,
Postal inspectors said the boy gave
himself up, saying che could not
stand to see his brother perjuring
himself in an effort to save him. !"
The brother, Merl, was taken into
custody several days ago, and is said
to have confessed to participation
in the robbery.
The surrender of Orville Phillips
led to the finding of five of the stol-
en- mail pouches under the ice in a
lake near this city. They were
empty.
According to the confession, Or
vile and another boy carried out the
robbery against the protests of the
brother Merl. The "other boy"
whom Orville refused to name, got
away with four saks. Contents of
the sacks found in the lake had been
burned, it is said.

PRICES OF GRAIN
TUMBLE ANEW

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-Grain prices
smashed heavily downward today all
along the line, with hogs and pro-

way, notwithstanding it was already
lower than at any time since 1914.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The stock
market developed further weakness
during the morning session after the

Still another drop occurred in re,

Period Of Depression Crisis
Reached, Speedy Recovery Is
Seen By Gambler After Trip

ATLANTA, Nov. 10. - Back
from New York, Asa G. Gambler,
ST., one of the best known bust
ness ben of the South, today ex-
pressed confidence in a speedy re-
vival of normal business through
out the country, and declared that
New York financiers are convinc-
ed that the period of depression
occasioned by readjustments has
reached its crisis.
"It is the belief in New York
among men who are familiar with
conditions throughout the country
that the outlook for the future is
Frightening every day." said Mr.
Gambler. '"They attribute the i'm
provement to the development of
the spirit of cooperation between
manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer
and consumer.
"The leading financiers of New
York recognize that the fundamen-
tai conditions are sound. Every sec
tion of the country has made fine
crops, and there is an abundance
of ready cash. But there has been

too little cooperation. Every in
dividual and every class have been
too little interested in the welfare
of the other fellow. They have
devoted too much time and thought
to their own canoe. They have
not pulled together and the result
has been reflected in a general de-
preston.
Fortunately, however, the peo-
pie have awakened to the impor-
tance of cooperation, the one class
with another, and already there are
unmistakable signs of improve
ment in cinditions.
Mr.. Gambler expressed gratifica-
tion at the success of the project
ed Federal International Banking
company recently organized at
New Orleans. He thinks the opera
ton of this export company will
help materially to relieve business
conditions in the South. He ex-
pressed delight that the banks of
Georgia are lending their enthusi-
astie support to the international
banking company.

system

FARGO, N. D.. Dec. 19.-Dr. E. +.
Ladd, first u. S. senator elected as
candidate of the Nonpartisan
League, announced here that his first
aim in Congress will be to promote
a better system for marketing the
grain and other food products of the
farm.
at is a serious problem that faces
Congress" Dr. Ladd sad Something
must be done and within the next
few years, if we are to save the farm
ing industry from decentralization.
Even now the most of the men left
on the farm are middle aged and ell
derly-the Younger men are looking
for greater opportunities.
81 believe that dealing in future
on shorts-selling grain in which the
seller never had an equity, which
never existed and will never be de-
livered-is a species of gambling
which does not stabilize prices or
benefit the producer or consumer. It
is matter which every legislator
ought to study until he has a just
comprehension of it and then con-
slider whether it is not worthy Of his
attention.
"The cooperative movement must
go hand in hand with helpful legisla-
tion in improving the situation. Far
mers must come to their own buying
and selling organizations.
"If legislation is passed making
funds from federal reserve banks and
federal land banks available to these
organizations farmers will be able to
hold their Grains until they are
needed instead of dumpinp them on
the market at the end of the har-
vest"
DR.. Ladd added that effort should
be made to bring a better school sys-
tenn into rural districts and give the
farm children the same chances for
education as hold in towns and cit
les.

Fireworks For
Xmas Barred

Christmas in Americas will be cell
ebrated again this year without fire
works. it was decided by the city
council last night when Fire Chief
Naylor raised the question, stating
that merchants had asked him what
pyrotechnics they would be permit
ted to sell. Alderman Burke stated
that so much cotton is stored inside
the city that it would be bad policy
to permit any fireworks to be sold or
used. Alderman Allison thought it
would be a poor Christmas without
any fireworks, but the members fin
ally agreed it better to be safe than
sorry and decided to let the ordi-
nance stand unaltered, prohibiting
any fireworks. Sparklers, or "cold
fire." are not embraced in the mean
ing of the ordinance.

LABOR Is FOR

Wilson s Reply To
League Greetings Read
To Assembly

GENEVA, Nov. 19 (By Associated
Press)- Immediate admission of
Germany and other former enemy
states to the League Of Nations was
urged before the assembly Of the
league today by George NichoIl
Barnes, British delegate. Repre-
senting as he did the laboring people
of Great Britain, said Barnes, he
knew the great majority of them de-
manded that all enemy states be adj
mitted without delay. Barnes re-
called the fact that Germany had
taken part already in deliberations
of the international labor bureau es-
tablished by the league.
At the opening Of today's session
Of the assembly, President Paul Hy-
mans read the reply from President
Wilson to the message sent by the
assembly Monday. Barnes, then
started his discussion of the report
from the council of the league. He
dwelt especially on the necessity of
lending assistance to the Armenians.

deX number was 10 per cent above
pre-war levels. Apparently this
does not satisfy the public. 1t is now
giving an amazing exhibition of its
ability to refrain from buying es-
sentials as we'll as luxuries.
Some better movement of seasonal
goods is reported, however. This is
due to the colder weather and to
price concessions. In the main,
trade continues under the influence
of price uncertainty and the dead
lock between buyers. and sellers.
Wheat For Export.
The swapping back of wheat prices
within the last few days to 1915

has revived buying here by England.
The visible supply of American
wheat Nov. 1 was 54,000,000 bush
els less than last year. The world )
visible supply is 169,000,000 bushels
less. Large crops in Argentina, Aus
tralia and India, however, are expect
ed to provide ample wheat for the
world next year.
With flour nearly back to pre-war

IF KIDNEYS and
4 ..~s BLADDER BOTHER
Take 4 Glass of Salts to Flush Out
Your Kidneys and Neutraiize
Irritating Acids

Kidney. and bladder weakness result
from uric acid. says q noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation at
the neck of the bladder Obliging you to
seek relief two Or three times during
the night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes with
a scalding sensation and is very pro.
fuse; again, there is difficulty in avoid
ing it..
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urinatiOn.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to ov-
ercOme. Get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or
three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is Il
source of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which then act normally
again. .r..
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant. efferves-
cent lithia water drink which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.
