Little Grain Koving Now On last Thursday, which was the last day of April, W. T.

Mr. Weddell has during some months received and shipped as high as 50,000 bush els of grain during one calendar month. This is sure a great contrast to the customary business. Farmers tare very busy and are disposed to nom tneir gram until they see what the outlook is going to be for a crop this year.

NEW ERA SEEN IN LABOR BANKS Economist Believes They Bring Bet ter Understanding of Capitalist Problems. San Francisco. The development of labor banks conservatively operat ed for productive purposes only, and the increasing participation of wage earners in Investments, are seen by Don D. Lescohier, associate professor of economics, University of Wiscon sin, as the salients of a new align ment between capital and labor. Speaking before the Common wealth Club of California, Dr. Les cohier pictured the labor union as de pendent, and the advent of the open shop or so-called American plan, as indicating labor's changing attitude on collective bargaining. Founding of the Mount Vernon Bank in Washington. D. C, in 1920, by the International Association of Machinists, started a new movement in the history of American labor, the speaker said. The Railroad Brother hoods chain of branch banks, keyed to the main bank in Cleveland, capi talized at $28,000,000, is a subse quent development, one of many that has thrown a large part of S7.000, 000,000 of wage earners' savings into labor banks and given labor a new modus of action. Dr. Lescohier con tinued: "This may sound very theoretical but it is quite the reverse, fore casting a happier relationship be tween employer and employee. Among patrons of the new Federation Banks in New -York on the first day were 200 manufacturers and merchants, persons who had never held a union card. They were there because a new bank had been opened at a conven ient location. And these banks differ from capitalist banks only in that they are co-operatively owned by labor unions, that they will 'make loans to business men only for pro ductive enterprises which give em ployment to manual labor, limit divi dends and distribute all earnings in excess of 10 per cent of their deposi tors. "A new theory is evolving. About thirteen-fourteenths of the bank funds of the Unite States, used by the banks to make loans, belongs to the depositors rather than to the stock holders. The labor -anks maintain that this fact entitles the depositors to a part of the profits. Not charity but justice underlies the dividend to depositors. The depositor's dividend also has proved to be good business. It has reduced depositors' interest cost on borrowed deposits and made it worth their while to trade with the labor bank. "I believe American labor is cross ing the threshold of a new epoch. Wage earners, depending in the past on earnings only are now being en counaged to draw an income from in vested capital. The railroad engi neers have established five invest ment banks which is a step toward the participation of labor in indus trial management and control. "No economic development in the world today is so full of promise as the entry of organized labor into the banking business. I believe that the mobilized Baving power of workmen, employed through safe and intelli gent managed investment, will life the whole relationship between capi tal and labor to a higher plane. It will bridge to better understanding on both sides. It will teach labor the problems and risks of capital; and it will teach capital more common sense in its dealings with labor." WAR AGAINST RACE TRACK BETTING BEGUN IN ST LOUIS St. Louis. After 122 men and youths were arrested here Thursday afternoon in a sarprise drive against horse race book makers the question of whether they can be prosecuted was left to be decided Friday. Fifty downtown establishments were raid ed. Owing to the exacting require ments of the statutes regulating , book making and the difficulty of ob taining convictions it was not re garded as likely that warrants charg ing book making would be filed. Colonel Allen C. Orrick, president of the board of police commissioners said that the nationwide move of the International Reform Federation against race track betting through out the United States had nothing to do with the wholesale raids in St. Louis. After the raids, desk clerks and sergeants worked for two hours booking the prisoners as suspected of gambling. Most of them were re leased shortly afterward on 2 hun dred dollar bonds. Tom Kearney, dean of race betting commissioners in St. Louis, thought the raids futile if they were intend ed to stamp out book making here. He with three others was arrested for the second time within a week. "The interest in horse race bet ting," said Kearney, "is keener nov; than at any time I can remember. It's the result of prohibition. Men who used to let off their surplus steam in saloons now turn to the races." WOMEN OF FLORIDA HAY RT PAT TFT) FT APPFT?!

DR. F. H. MILLENER DIES, WAS RADIO PHONE PIONEER Former Union Pacific Kan and Physician in Omaha Expires in California. Dr. Frederick Hoyer Mlllener, phy sician and surgeon of Omaha for sev eral years, but best known through out the country for his contributions to radio, died at the home of his brother in Alpine, Cal., Tuesday. He was 53 years old. Dr. Millener had been suffering from heart trouble for some time, and for the last four years had been taking motor trips about the country in an effort to regain his health. He spent a month in Omaha last June and paid his last visit in November en route to California with his mother. Dr. Millener first came to Omaha in 190C. For thirteen years pre viously he had been a successful phy sician and surgeon in Buffalo. N. Y.. where he was on the staff of the Ger man hospital as an eye, ear, nowe and throat specialist. The story is told that one day when he was ex perimenting in his laboratory, an ao cident occurred and he was badly burned. He was in the hospital a long time and when he came out he found the sheriff had closed up his office and the landlord had posted a dispossess notice. About that time the girl to whom the doctor was en gaged, fell ill and died, and in a per iod of depression, Dr. Millener left Buffalo penniless. Gets Job as Common Laborer. He did odd jobs in Cleveland. Chi cago and other mid-western cities and when he reached Des Moines he was arrested as a vagrant. He suc ceeded in establishing his identity, and a few weeks later arrived in Omaha wearing overalls and possess ing $6. He had a great desire to quit the medical profession and become a railroad man, and one of the first places he visited was Union Pacific headquarters. He took a job as a common laborer at ITH cents an hour. In the months that passed Dr. Millener won the confidence of his employers to such an extent that he was permitted to conduct small elec trical experiments. He perfected a truck which was controlled by wire less. President Mohler saw it and promoted him to be wireless electri cal engineer of the Union Pacific. A big electrical show was given in Omaha. The Union Pacific had an exhibit and Dr. Millener was placed in charge of it. He was the whole show. One of the things he did was to turn on the lights of the audi torium by wireless, sending the sig nal from Fort Omaha. His last posi tion with the Union Pacific was as custodian of the headquarters build ing and this gave him much time to conduct his experiments. On the top floor he had one of the best equipped laboratories in the country. Wireless Telephone Experiments. Even before the war, Dr. Millener conducted wireless telephony experi ments in Omaha. He used to send a man around the streets with an um brella and talk to him by wireless. The ribes of the umbrella were used as the antenna. Dr. Millener was the first man in the country to transmit and receive radio messages from a moving train. This he accomplished while ' Presi dent Mohler was still head of the Union Pacific. Among the first men of the coun try to conceive the idea that Mars might be trying to send signals to in habitants of the earth was Dr. Mil lener and as early as April of 1020, he set up and operated a radiophone set with v.hich he hoped to hear sig nals from Mars. This station was established on the farm of Harvey L. Gamer near Cedar Creek, Neb., and for three nights. Dr. Millener and Gamer listened, in vain, for a mes sage from across interstellar space. They had an aerial about thirty miles in length, utilizing an aban doned telephone line, and with their tuning apparatus, they could have tuned to signals up to 3 hundred thousand meters long. Breaks Badio Distance Record. When the war broke out, Dr. Mil lener was commissioned a captain in the signal corps and was assigned by the army to establish a wireless tele phone system around the Aberdeen proving grounds on Chesapeake bay. At the close of the war, Dr. Mil lener re-established his residence in Omaha and practiced medicine at the Hamilton hotel for several years. All the time, however, he continued his experiments into the realm of wireless, and on March 27, 1920. smashed the wireless talking record of that time. With apparatus he had ey was in this country illegally, and installed at Forst Omaha, he talked j that unless their investigation show to an assistant stationed at Shen-ied that she entered in violation of andoah, la. He had there-to-fore es- the immigration law, they would tablished the previous record by talk- ink from Washington to a ship fifty miles away.

FARMER, 54, EANGS HIMSELF FR0H-A TREE Pawnee City, Neb., April 30. , Louis Spier, 54, farmer, living two, miles southwest of Steinauer, com-1 mitted suicide this morning by hang-' ing himself to a tree in the farm-' yard. The body was found by Chet Lawson cf Burchard about 7:30. County officials here were notified and Sheriff Avery and County Attor ney Witte viewed the body. Mr. Spier had dressed hiniKelf in his best clothes, shared and left the house in good order before knotting the short length of rope to a low limb. Death resulted from strangulation and occurred only a bhort time be- fore the body was discovered. Mr. Spier was a bachelor e.nd had lived in ;he Steinauer vicinity many years. Ke left three notes io re-la- lives, one giving a watch to a brother, another locating his will, and the last found beside an open Bible said. "Good-bye to all." He is survived by four brothers and one sister. PICTURES EN SALON nOTESQUE Exhibition at Paris of Independent Artists Are Regarded as: Revo lutionary in Character. Paris, April 29. The revolution ary character of thi3 year's independ ent art salon, with its 3,500 can vasses, is typified at the threshold by a painting of Lenine in blacksmith's garb, forging the peace of the world. This is the first exhibit that striker, the eye, and all thru the show the eye never rests from painful contem plation of all that is rebellious and insurrectional in art. Along with Lenine's portrait, which re-cmbles Lenine as little or as much as any one else, there is a bust of one of the lesser apostles of bolshevism, Kris sine, ambassador to ParJ?, which seems to have been made by some old sinner in art who stuck to line and form; the bust looks like a study for a portrait of another more or !es3 Ibanez. whose features are quite ex- actly portrayed by Marcel Poncin. These exhibits, along with a full length portrait of Benea. the Czecho-j Slovak -peacemaker, and a few mer-, itorious landscapes, are tue saving ; feature of. a show which, in words; of a prominent art critic, is chiefly j "composed of meat. ; The nude prevails, nude that is j muscular, massive and contortionist. ! In some respect a the nude is less re- ; pcllant than in some previous shows. but in no sense does it give promise of progress either in drawing or I coloring. j A study of the salon leaves one at the end with the impression of just having recovered from a night mare. There in nothing in it to in dicate that exhibitors have discovered ' that indefinable something that the1 futurists, cubists and dodaists are! searching for in art. They have found practJcUly no r ev-ways even of mak - ing art more horrible; they have just continued drawing cows' noses longer than their legs and making all their human figures look like super con tortionists, m rnuB OF MARY MACSWiNEY Officials Investigate Her Statement Abont British Passports Kay Face Deportation Washington, April 30. The im migration bureau today began inves tigation of statements made by Miss Mary MacSwiney, Irish republican worker, to immigration authorities at Chicago that she came to this countrj about January 2 4 on a British passport. Officials at Ellis Island were afk- ed to examine the records of 11 ships ! entering the port during the latter part of January to determine wheth er Miss MaeSviney's name appeared either on the passenger lists or on the lists of the ships' employes The investigation of Miss Mac Swiney 's right to be in the United States was undertaken as a result of action of Timothy Smiddy, the Irish Free State minister here, in calling the atttention of the state department to published reports that she had announced that she came here without passports. Immigration officials said today that there was nothing in their rec ords to indicate that Miss MacSwin- make no effort to deport her.

Loomis, state supervisor of this work. The fjrt classes were organized In 1922 an( they have proven so popular that instruction is low offered thrunut the entire state. The Nebraska rystcm has won praise from mothers, educu- tional leaders and Parent-Teicher associations in all parts of the coun- try. j "Distinction as to schooling and material resources disappear in the consideration of fundamental prob hms."
