ties of Bungalow House Dress
Many Were Present.
Have you heard of the Happy
Workers Sewing club of near Cedar
Creek? Well there is one, which
consists of nine girls. This club was
organized the 15th day of December,
1922, and has finished its first course
of sewing and the members were re
quired to give a public demonstration
of their work before continuing on
more advanced sewing lessons.
The first thing made was a sewing
bag, all hand made, a clothespin bag,
dress protector, slip, apron and bun
galow house dress.
On August 22nd the Happy Work
ers held their Achievement day pro
gram at the home of Alma and Verna

and their leader gave a very inter
esting program. This included a song
by the club. "We're Here for Fun,"
a talk by the president. Miss Helen
Meisinger, on "Club Work," a read
ing by Mrs. Lorine Urish on "Achie
vements of Our Club" and a song by
the club entitled, "Our Club Will
Shine."
Misses Verna and Margaret Mei
singer, the demonstration team, gave
a demonstration on the possibilities
of the bungalow house dress. They
drafted the paper pattern, fitted and
adjusted the same, then cut the
dress and fitted the different style
collars for different types of girls
and showed the finishing details of
the dress.
The girls then gave a style show,
followed by a reading by Miss Mil
dred Meisinger, "Standard Club."
" Miss Ida Wilkens, the county home
agent, was present and gave a talk
which was very entertaining. She
then placed the gold seal on the
club charter, after which Miss Green
of Lincoln presented the girls with
their achievement certificates. This
was followed by a song, "Our Girls
are Ever So Busy," by Helen and
Verna Meisinger, Esther Lohnes and
Levetta Renner.
A very dainty lunch was served by
the girls which was enjoyed by all.
There were about sixty in attendance
and all agreed that they had spent
an interesting afternoon.

BIG AND RARE FJSH
AT THE STATE FAIR
Ninety Pound Cat, Forty-Five Ponnd
Silver Cat and Largest Rain
bow Trout Known.
A ninety pound catfish, a forty-five
pound silver catfish and the largest
rainbow trout in captivity are to be
shown at the state fair by the state
fish and game bureau.:; Deputy Sec
retary Grant L. Shumway, of the de
partment of agriculture, in making
this announcement, said he did not
know the personal history of the big
catfish, but if it is of the same family
as one exhibited many years ago at
the fair, it is likely to smash the
plate glass in its acquarium and tear
its way through the crowded grounds
for a considerable distance before it
is captured and slaughtered with an
ax. '
Mr. Shumway has Information
which leads him to believe the silver
catfish will be the first ever shown
at the state fair. It is not an al
bino but a distinct species of cat
fish. It was caught in the Platte
river on a trot line, which is a sort
of line under the ban of the law if
it contains more than five hooks.
Mr. Shumway modestly declines to
say how much the big rainbow trout
weighs. He goes so far as to say it
is two feet long. It is rumored that
it will weigh from three to eight
pounds. It is one of many obtained
from a private breeding pond in Colo
rado. In addition to these headliners the
usual beautiful and elaborate display
of fish will be made by the state
hatcheries at the state fair. A sep
arate building will house the show.
Although the building is small it is
so arranged that people can walk
around it and view the display which
will be shown in aquariums in the
walls.
WOULD CURTAIL
AIR ARMAMENT
American Legion Urges President to
Call a Conference Similar to
Recent Naval Meet.
Indianapolis, Aug. 24. American
Legion national headquarters today
made public a number of letters re
ceived from United States senators,
congressman, governors, college pres
idents and editors in regard to the
Legion's proposal to ask President
Coolidge to call an international con
ference to halt the race in military
air armament in which the Legion
charges is in progress among France,
England, Italy, Russia and other na
tions. Among the senators who ap
proved the proposal Is Henry Cabot
Lodge, Massachusetts.
The president, it was said today at
the white house, has not had an op
portunity to consider in detail the
suggestion for such a conference re
cently advanced by the American
Legion. Even the most preliminary
consideration, however, the president
was reported as feeling brings up at
once practical difficulties of an im
portant nature.
The president is said to believe
that it would be rather doubtful
whether European nations, in view
of the unsettled situation abroad,
would join in such a conference at
the present time.
Mr. Coolidge also is understood to
be of the opinion that conditions in
Europe, which prevented an agree
ment on aircraft limitations at the
Washington conference still prevail
to such an extent that Euroepan
powers could not be expected to have
changed their attitude toward such
a suggestion.
The American government In view
of the president is doing all it can
by refraining from competitive build
ing of aircraft for war purposes and
until the situation in Europe changes
cannot do more than express its
views through its own action.
However, the president, it was said
would be greatly pleased to take any
steps in line with the American Le
gion's suggestion whenever the time
appeared propitious.
WOMAN MAY BE PRESIDENT
Omaha, Aug. 24. Association pol
itics was the principal topic among
delegates at the Nebraska Press as
sociation convention here today. Mrs.
Marie Weekes, editor of the Norfolk
Press, seems to be the outstanding
candidate for president.
The two hundred delegates were
entertained at a luncheon at Carter
lake at noon.
Congressman Edgar Howard, edi
tor of the Columbus Telegram, re
cently reported seriously ill, seemed
to be gretting as much enjoyment out
of the outing as any of the delegates
"The only time that I expect to
miss one of these outings Is when I
am dead and gone and then I'll be
with you in spirit,' he said.
Old time editors, all of whom have
been in the harness in Nebraska for
forty or more years met and organ
ized an "Old Timers" club. In the
absence of M. A. Brown, editor of
the Kearney Hub, Ed Fry of Nio
brara was named dean of the club.

ASKS FOR FIVE AND
GETS FIVE THOUSAND
Funny Incident in Star's First Big
Comedy, "Mr. Billings Spends
His Dime" Parmele.
How would you like to ask five
dollars for information you had and
have the buyers misunderstand and
give you five thousand dollars?
That exceptional situation arises in
"Mr. Billings Spends His Dime," a
Paramount Walter Hiers first star
picture, which comes to the Parmele
Friday and Saturday.
Walter spends his last ten cent
piece for a cigar. Inside the band
of that cigar Is a secret message
from an insurrecto gang in Santo
Dinero, a South American republic,
to secret agents of the revolutionists
in this country.
When the agents attempt to get
the information from Hiers as to
what was in the band, he agrees to
sell it. "How much?" demands the
secret agent quickly.
Astounded by the sudden request,
Hiers is unable to talk. Instead, he
merely holds up his two hands and
signifies "ten," but he means "ten
dollars."
"Too much," cries the other and
indicates that he will compromise on
five, to which Walter agrees.
Then the stranger pays Hiers five
thousand dollars and he nearly falls
through the floor.
What he does with the five thous
and makes a story as full of laughs
and thrills and romance as can be
imagined.
Jacqueline Logan is featured as
leading woman and heads an excep
tionally capable supporting cast. The
production is massive and beautiful
and there are many laughs as well as
thrills In the development of the
story.
GERMAN URGES
YANKEE FINANCIAL
DICTATORSHIP
Says Neutral Foreign Controller is
the Only Way Out of Present
National Dilemma.
Berlin. Aug. 24. "A financial dic
tator preferably made, in the Unit
ed States now is Germany's only
hope fo rextricating herself from fi
nancial and economic chaos," is the
suggestion advanced by Dr. George
Gothein, democratic reichstag leader.
"A financial dictatorship, wielded
by a neutral foreigner who would not
be obliged to take German sensibil
ities Into consideration," he declares,
"suggests the only way out of the
national dilemma."
He disposes of the idea of install
ing a German dictator because, he
says, such an official would never
succeed in Inducing the reichstag to
put his measures into effect. He
also predicts that a neutral financial
control, or dictatorship, would en
able France to "disentangle herself
from her hopelessly involved posi
tion In the Ruhr without loss of
prestige." -
"Why not put up with such for
eign control, which, at worst, would
last only a few years?" Gothein asks.
He suggests that Germany make a
petition to that effect, which "is no
more than a logical step by an hon
orable debtor who innocently has
come ot financial grief."

ANNOUNCEMENT
OF ACTION TO AWAIT
SOME EXCHANGES
U. S. Government Will Not Resume
Diplomatic Relations With
Mexico Until September.
Washington, Aug. 24. The Unit
ed Sttaes government, it was declared
today at the White H use, would not
be prepared to formally announce the
resumption of diplomatic relators
with Mexica until the middle or lat
ter part of September on account of
the necessity of making certain ex
changes. '
Certain exchanges yet to be made
between the Mexican and Washing
ton governments, it was said, cannot
be concluded to permit an actual
resumption of relations for several
weeks, at least. In some quarters
the belief prevailed that the "ex
changes" referred to by the White
house spokesmen were those con
nected with the claims conventions
agreed to between the representa
tives of the two governments during
th recent conferences in Mexico City.
The conventions are regarded as
a vital part of the agreement re
ported by John Barton Payne and
Charles B. Warren, the American
commissioners to the Mexico City
conferences, which the Mexican gov
ernment is reported to have approv
ed and which, it has been authoria
tively stated, is satisfactory to the
Washington government.
It still remains, however, for the
state department to draft the con
ventions out of the report submitted
by Mr. Payne and Mr. Warren, and
to submit them to the Mexican gov
ernment for approval and signature.
Until this Is done and the documents
are,, in. form for submission to the
senate'for ratification it is -understood
the Washington government
will not officially announce its recog
nition of Mexico.
SYMPATHY GOAL
STRIKE IS DECLAR
ED IMPROBABLE
President Farrington Says Soft Coal
Miners Have No Thought of
Suspending Operations.
Chicago, Aug. 24. Any apprehen
sion that a sympathetic strike in the
soft coal fields in Illinois would fol
low an anthracite strike was allay
ed today following the announce
ment of Frank Farrington. president
of the mine unions in the Illinois dis
trict, that there was no thought of
a suspension in the bituminous fields.
Coal operators who met with mine
union officials here yesterday, said
there was a plentiful supply of bi
tuminous coal above ground to sup
ply any emergency demand in the
middle west.
Soft coal operators and mine union
officials at their conference here de
clared no plans were made for in
creased production in bituminous
fields in the event of an anthracite
suspension, and President Farring
ton intimated that rumors that soft
coal would take the place of hard
coal if anthracite mines shut down
might cause discontent among soft
coal union miners.
The bituminous miners are under
contract until April 1, 1924.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
STANDS BACK OF WOOD
Washington, Aug. 24. The Wash
ington government will stand square
ly behind Governor General Leonard
Wood in his administration of affairs
in the Philippine islands. In making
this announcement today a spokes
man for President Coolidge said the
administration would continue to
support General Wood as its author
ized representative in the Philippines
and should it be found advisable
would go so far as to help him in
the adjustment of difficulties that
have arisen.
It is not to be assumed, it was
added that any controversy would
arise to invoke Washington action of
a sort that would be injurious to the
Filipinos or be found lacking in fair
ness to them.
