To b arm Aristocracy. Da You Understand Money? Mussolini's Ambition. Hard to Steal Circula tion. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ The American Agriculturist tells of a French family of farmers, the Toublarw, who have worked the same farm since 1023. For 899 years that family, liv ing in the same house, have culti- ; vated the same acres. They were plowing there when Joan of Arc was burned alive; when Calvin, the good Protestant, was burning Catholics in Switzerland. They had been working that farm more than 400 years when Columbus found America. The present farm er, Lacassies Poublan, is the 24th generation on his farm of 200 acres. The French people are not dying out. But it’s too bad they don't have more children. The desire not to divide the farms keeps the families down. Probably the Poublans, as re gards genuine ancestry, are older than any royal or noble family in Europe. Voltaire said the oldest noble family in his day descended from thieves that had fled from the mainland and settled on the marsh lands of Venice to escape cap ture. Who can understand finance? That mysterious thing, money, is like electricity. We all use it; none of us understand it. The French are in the Ruhr. German money drops below Austrian and Polish currency. You would say, “financiers know that France will get whatever Ger many has." But at the. same time the French franc drops. Then from Athens comes news of a panic among Greek financiers, banks, etc. That panic is caused by a sudden increase in the value of Greek money. When the currency of a nation goes down there is despair. And when it goes up there is panic. Explain that, please. Mr. Mussolini, ambitious Italian, evidently a born ruler—-for awhile —claim* the Mediterranean for Italy, saying, “it shall be our sea.” For a long time the Mediterra nean belonged to Carthage, the great Semitic trading city, once strong enough to tell Rome just where its ships might go. Then Rome killed Carthage and Koine ruled. At present it’s a mixed situation. The eastern shore of the Adriatic, civilized and built by Rome, belongs to various tem porary nationalities. As for the Mediterranean, Eng land has one key, Gibraltar. The Turks just now have another key, the Dardanelles, and will hold on probably until Russia takes it away from them. Ruling the Mediter ranean, race cradle of most of us, is not easy. Frank Munsey bought the Globe and paid for it, $2,000,000 cash. That is the official figure. He dis continued] the Globe to combine it with hia New York Evening Sun. Numerous little evening news paper failures in New York be gan scrambling for the circulation, like crowa around a dead horse. A long career of failure had not taught them that you can’t steal circulation, you must create it. Munsey probably will end by buying some more of them and knocking them on the head also. An appropriate revenge. In honor of the international advertising convention at Atlantic City, many clergymen mention ad vertising in their sermons. The most magnifirent advertising may he seen in the sky. The black clouds of warning are the big black type. The lightning flash is the red type. . The rainbow, promising no more floods, is the advertisement in colors. Let those that criticjae big type, red ink or advertising in beautiful colors observe how the sky if “edited.” To produce'results, you must create a sensation. Read the Book of Job—about Arcturus Behemoth, Leviathan—wonderful “copy.” * The Rev. Mr. Knox, chaplain of Columbia university, tells the young gentlemen that fear is man’s worst enemy. That’s a fact. A thousand million human beings say to themselves, “I can’t do it,” and so they never do what they might do. > Mr. Knox says, “whoever sneers fears.” Darwin says that when we sneer we imitate the wolf as it raises its lips to uncover its big gest, sharpest tooth, getting ready to bite. Sneer now, and observe how your sharp, long tooth on the right side is uncovered—if you still have it. Fear, curiously enough, accord ing to scientists, has a good deal to do with the ductless glands. One gland lacking makes a man timid. Weakness in another gland makes him an idiot. We are very curi ously constructed. .When you speed your car reck lessly you are risking the lives of others 30 per cep*, and your own life 70 per cent. A woman, her daughter and three others put on speed to escape a storm last Sun day. A rear tire blew out and because of high speed the car left the road and struck a tree. Mother and daughter are dead. The other three, with fractured skulls, con cussion of the brain, etc., are ex pected to die. When you drive 50 miles an hour you bet. your life against the possibility of a tire blowing out or a wheel coming off. Bear that in mind. (Copynsht, till.) 31,849 Hogs Sent by Auto Truck to j Stockyards in May Big Increase Shown Over 192*—22,475 Cattle Also Transported in Five Months in Trucks. -■— During May 31,849 hogs were brought to the local stockyards by auto’ truck, an increase of 11.600 brought in by truck for the same month in 1922 and during the past five months 141,139 hogs have been brought to iiouth Omaha by auto trucks, an increase of 37.000 over the number brought In for the same period of 1222. , Besides the large number of hogs brought in by auto It^rks there have also been brought in'by auto trucks 22,475 head of cattle and 1)0,280 head' of sheep the first five months of this year as against 16,644 head of cat tle and 84,129 head of sheep for tht same period last year. John Sobota of Schuyler was a visi tor at the local stockyards yesterday, bringing In a load of choice,' high grade Hereford steers that averaged 1.397 pounds and sold for $10.65 a hundred. Mr. Sobota said there were not many fat cattle left in his section and that the marketable hogs had also been pretty well cleaned up. He said late spring pigs were getting along nicely but farmers realized losses on winter farrowing. “Corn is 'all in’ in my neighbor hood,’’ said Mr. Sobota, “anil the corn is looking fine, although the season lias been backward. Heavy rains has washed it out in many places which will lessen the corn yield." A load of fine steers averaging 1,125 pounds was biought to market by Lloyd Smith of David City and they were sold for $10.50 a hundred. According to Mr. Smith the ship ment he brought in was brought on the local market as feeders when they averaged 650 pounds and cost $6.50 a hundred. He was pleased at both the big gain in weight and price receiv ed. A shipment of 80 head of high grade Hereford steers was brought to the stockyards by Frank Howe of Cams, an inland town of Keya Paha county. The shipment averaged 1.135 pounds and sold for $10.50 a hundred. Mr. Howe formerly was a trader in the local yards. Five years ago he went to Keya Paha county and set tled on some land with the view of raising Hereford cattle and Duroc hogs and he said he had done well. The cattle brought In yesterday were Put into the feed lots about Christ mas on a full feed of shelled corn and prairie hay and made good gains 350 Shriners in Parade Are Overcome by Heat tContiaued From Fag# On#.) and Imperial Potentate James S. Mc Candless and his divan. This parade, one of the four planned for the 49th annual conven tion of the Shriners, which got under way today, was designed as the big spectacle of the gathering of the No bles, and it proved all of that. The long line of marchers presented a riot of color that for vividness and contrast scarcely could have been surpassed. Only a little less pictur esque was the setting, with a can opy of red. yellow and green stream ers—the Shrine colors—overhead and the'national colors blended with these in the decorations of buildings along the route. Each Has Drill Team. Each of the scores of tenures in the line had Its drill team aim with the broad expanse of the avenue, cleared of all traffic, there was am ple room for Hie execution of even the most complicated formations. But with as many hands as there were temples, the march essentially was one of music. Each band apparently sought to out-do its immediate neigh hors with a result thut the roiling of drums, blaring of basso horns and shrilling of piccolos drowned out mosi of the applause of the thousands who overflowed the 150,000 "circus" seats. crowded the sidewalks and filled the windows and other .vantage points along the line of march. Contributing to the vast volume of music was almost every conceivable kind of moveable musical instrument from the pipes of Bagdad to the mod ern circus calliope, the latter contrib uted by the Wichita (Kan.) temple. Many of the temples had “added attractions.” San Francisco present ed a horny-headed dragon, a quarter of a block Jong, with attendants in Chinese costumes and a “trainer,” who caused it to perform many fan tastic gyrations. Nashville, Tenn,, had a trick “flivver,” that could shimmy, throw a smoke screen and even fire a cartridge. After the pageant run its course, the first session of the Imperial coun cil was opened, with President Har ding delivering the principal address of welcome. A display of daylight Tlreworks preceded trte "Congress of the Seas” on the Potomac river in which were seven reproductions of ships that have figured in the his tory of America. Luncheon, receptions and concerts at various points In the city made up the remainder of the fixed pro gram for the day. Cadets Name Camp in Honor of Major Duncan Speeinl Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

The administration of the railroad* during the term of the mort gage will he separated from the nd ministration of the national finances.
