WASHINGTON. Dec. 28.-Presi-
dent Harding today announced his
opposition to the passage by the
Senate Of the Borah resolution, re
questing the executive to call ah in
ternational economic conference and
armament limitation conference.
The President declared that the
passage Of the Borah resolution was
undesirable because of the false i'm
pressions which may be conveyed to
Europe and even more undesirable be
cause Of the wrong impression 1t con
veys to our own people"
Sends Lodge Letter
His position was revealed in a let
ter to Senator Lodge, Administration
leader in the Senate, which Lodge
had read to the Senate when it met
today.
1T would be futile TO call such a
conference as proposed by Borah until
the executive had learned whether
such a move would be welcomed by
the other nations" Mr.. Harding said
If Congress desires to be helpful
in the present situation, he said. it
should modify the laws which pre-
vent American representation on the

Colorado Feeder Finds
Omaha Best Market

Four loads of good quality steers
fed OH beet pulp were brought to the
Omaha livestock market yesterday
from Loveland, Colo., by ]. P. Spen-
Ger. The cattle averaged l,l5O
pounds and were sold to packing
house for 81 hundred.
Mr.. Spencer said the shipment was
bought on the range last fall at
$3.50 a hundred, including freight
paid to the Missouri river. and that
the cattle made an average gain of of
go pounds head during the W
DAYS they were on feed.
There is shortage of sheep
around Loveland," said Mr.. Spen-
GER. "but | think there are Just as
many cattle on feed in that neigh
borhood as usual. Very few hogs
are raised in that section. A large.
number of cows have been raised and
the most of them have been bought
up by California packers.
"Most OF our steers go to Omaha
as Denver is not as good a market
and I have found that there seems
to be less shrinkage shipping to the
Missouri river than to Denver. We
do not raise much corn and as all our
cattle are fed on beet pulp, there is
no advantage in having hogs iced
behind them"

FORDS RUN "a MILES
ON GALLON GASOLINE
Start Easy in Coolest Weather
Other Cars Show Proportionate

A new carburetor which cuts
down gasoline consumption of any
motor and reduces gasoline bills
from one-third to one-half is the
proud achievement of the Air-Fric-
ton Carburetor Co., 1917 Madison
St., Dayton Ohio. This remarkable
invention not only increases the
power of motors from 80 to 60 per
cent, but enables every one to run
slow on high gear. 1t also makes it
easy to start Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather. You can
use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power
and more mileage than you now get
from the highest test gesoline. All
Ford owners can get as high as Sd
miles to gallon Of gasoline. So
sure are the manufacturers Of the
immense saving their new car
buretor will make that they offer to
send it on 80 days trial to every
car owner. AS it can be put on or

want to try it should send their

the manufacturers at once. They
