Coolidge Busy on Talk to Congress Agricultural Relief, Taxation qnd Transportation to Re ceive Major Consideration. By Associated Prenii. Washington, Nov. 12.—President Coolidge began actual work today on liis message to congress and upon the results of his efforts even his closest friends acknowledge will depend to a considerable degree his political fu ture. Mr. Coolidge Is known to realize as much as do his friends the impor tance of his first message and his first pronouncement of policies, and for that reason he expects to devote himself assiduously to work upon the document during the three weeks that intervene before the convening of congress. By agreement with his secretary, C. Bascom Slemp, the ex ecutive will limit his daily appoint ments- to only those of necessity and let nothing interfere with his work upon the message The ground work necessary to the drafting of the message already has been done. Six days a week for three months Mr. Coolidge has been con ferring with officials and private citizens respecting the problems be fore the government. He has talked rtdth experts In international affairs, with railroad executives and railroad employes, farmers, labor leaders, bank ers, editors, politicians and with just plain ordinary citizens. In nearly every case the one ^ho conferred with the president had the Bame ex perience—he presented his views and then was closely questioned hy the chief executive. The result is Mr. Coolidge has absorbed a lot of In formation on a lot of subjects. * Starts Work. With this Information at hand he ! sat down today to write the message. The principal subjects to be treated in the message have become fairly well known to those who have fol lowed the course of the president’s mind and the nature of his confer ences during the past three months. They embrace agricultural relief, tax ation,transportation, merchant marine, government expenditures, immigra tion, reclamation and international af fairs, Including the world court and the recentiy negotiated conventions with Mexico. There© subpects would seem at this lime likely to receive major considera tion. They are agricultural relief, tax ation and transportation. Writh re spect to assistance to the farmers, # tho chief executive is expected by some to urge legislation to-promote co-operative marketing and probably ask creation of an agency, or au thorization for an existing agency, (o sell American farm products abroad. Tho executive s tax proposals most probably will follow the outline of those announced today by the Treasury department, with such min or modifications as republican lead ers believe are advisable. Much Advice. In the matter of transportation the president has received much advice relative to consolidation of railroads and may ubge legislation to that end. t is reasonable to expect that he will sot give any measure of approval to the proposal that congress by Its own action reduce freight rates on farm products in as much as the Inter state- Commerce commission has In stituted an Inquiry to determine whether such rates can be lowered. The present Immigration law ex pires next June and Mr. Coolidge has let it be known that he will look to congress to maintain at least the present restrictions. International affairs, excepting the •eference to the Mexico conventions, seem to those close to the president o be destined to occupy a secondary :>laco In the message. Tho greatest Interest will be in the manner in which Mr. Coolidge treats the pro aosal made by President Harding to ho last senate that the United States accept membership in the permanent court of International Justice. So far as has been revealed, Mr. Coolidge still expects to make mention that the proposal Is before the senate for action and let the matter go at that. Reekie** Driver Fined. Martin Polcav, 3flS North Thirty seventh si. rot, arrested Sunday on a charge of reckless driving and op erating an automobile without a tall light, was fined tG In municipal court today.

Carries His Own Human Bird Around With Him ' Small and light enough for its owner to push it tli rough gate and into field, this plane was on of many that took part in international motor gliding competition at I.ympe, England, aerodrome._I Beautiful Debutante to Become Bride of Millionaire Wednesday By MARTHA ALLEN’. Wednesday will be a date long to be remembered In the annals of Omaha for Miss Betsy Nebb, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Nebb, whose humorous adventures, as depicted in Sol Hess's comifc pictures, are dally entertaining readers of The Morning Ilee, will be united by the bonds of holy matrimony with Mr. Caleb Renrod, a brilliant genius known as a colossus of finance and for this, and many past seasons, the catch of the town. Little Miss Nebb, a dainty intrigu ing girl, is busily engaged at the ^ome of her mother where, under ihe parental wing, she is putting the finishing touches to her trousseau. Mr. Renroad's high-powered motor may be seen any, day. It is rumored that no bride, perhaps in Omaha’s history, will receive as many lavish anil expensive presents as will Miss Nebb from her devoted husband-to-be. Whit an enchanting prospect! And yet, out of each cloud some rain must fall. A little birdie flying from home to home and whispering a secret to many of the younger set. has it that a thread of discord may be discerned in the otherwise perfect sheen of silk. Miss Nebb—It Is said— Is not altogether happy over the pros pect of becoming queen of the Ren rod menage. The wealth of a Croesus, a honeymoon in Europe, servants galore at her beck and call, and h life of ease and luxury, have not filled her cup of happiness to over flowing. Indeed, if one may believe another, tempting tid bit of gossip now going the rounds, another man (C-s H-1) a youth perhaps, handsome but humble, hns paid devoted homage to her winsome charms. Perhaps, as one of Miss Nebb's girl friends ex pressed it yesterday, this chapter in the bride-to-be's heart Is but a memory—a memory soon to he erased by Mrs. Caleb Renroad who, after Wednesday wilt take he- rightful place among the grand dames of our community. Hog Ranch May Be Rut Samardick arid Police Think !\ot Immune From Raids When Robert Sanmrdlck, federal prohibition agent, accompanied by the police morals squad, ap proached the Hog Ranch in Hast Omaha Saturday night, they found more than a score of automobiles dancing within. Inside bottles and glasses of li quor were scattered about on ta bles and the floor. Samardick was peexed. He had been told the xvord was going round that ho was "protecting’'the Hog Ranch. “Who runs this place," he de manded. “I do,” observed Julius Brenner. “You’re under arrest,” Samar dick told him. “And if you're pay ing money to anybody for protec tion, I want you to tell Judge VYoodrougli xvho it is.” Forty persons who were in the place at the time were arrested, and raiding officers discovered half a dozen cases of home brew in a clump of weeds nearby. Samar dick offered * 100 to anyone xvho would testify to the sale of liquor at the place, on the witness stand. Trained Leaders Are Urged at Luncheon Educated and highly trained men are fitted for leadership in public life, which they neglect, asserted Col. T. W. McCullough of The Omaha Hee in an address to the newly organized Pro fessional Men’s club at their noon lunch at the Fontenelle Monday. “I do not believe that the United States government is In danger of being overthrown by any bolshevistic movement.” said Colonel McCullough. “Should the present form of govern ment fall, however, It will bo because the people want It to fall. If It la to continue, it will he made secure by the devoted effort of patriotic men and women, who put service abovo self "Members ’of the so called learned professions owe something more than they generally give to the public weal. Most of jhem (enter on the affairs of the profession in which they engage, becoming extra proficient In that to the neglect of the greater duties and obligations of citizenship. The very fact that they are especially educated and highly trained tits them for lead erahip they have evaded.” -— I Kansas City Bible Attendance of 52,121 Exceeds Lon% Beach Class Breaks Record Kansas City, Mo..

By Aftgorlatrd Prew. Chicago, Nov. 12.—Minimum coat if production, highest quality of prod tet and an aggregate production for he country ns a whole adjusted to :he requirements of the market, are the conditions most disired for wheat growing in tills country to make that trowing most profitable, according to Sydney Anderson, president of the ■vheat council of the United States, in ipening the session here today of the iroductlon committee of the council. Mr. Anderson said that during the ast four years the United States has ncreased its wheat acreage about 14 jer cent. Canada has increased wheat icreage 80 per cent and Argentina 20 per cent, he stated. "Therefore, T :hlnk that the matter of readjustment n wheat acreage In this country to i point where It shall not be at the mercy of a world price fixed by the surpluses from the cheap lands of other countries is worthy of the se rious consideration of this commit tee,” said Mr. Anderson. "Farmers of the United States can not hope to make any money grow ing wheat for export except in oc casional years. So long as we produce a surplus, our domestic price Is gen erally a reflection of the world mar ket price. I hope that this commit tee will work out a program for read justed acreage which, if carried out, will place this country on a domestic basis, where domestic demands will establish a price and not the surplus from foreign lands." Mr. Anderson said that per capita consumption of wheat In the United States is now lower than in any of the great civilized countries, due in large part to war propaganda for the saving of wheat.

Pray do not fall to take command —Danny Meadow Mouse. Danny Meadow Mouse Sees Strange Sights. It was several days before IJanny Meadow Mouse went up in the air again. Meanwhile he and the avia tor who had caught him had become friends. The aviator visited him sev eral times every day and he never failed to bring some tid bit to tempt Danny's appetite. And he talked to him. He talked In a low, gentle voice. It wasn’t long before Danny didn’t hesitate to take food from his friend's fingers. Then came a morning when Danny knew something was going to hap pen. His friend, the aviator, was very busy about the airplane, which Danny always thought of as a man bird. Other people came and there was a great deal of noise and con fusion. which frightened Danny so that he kept inside the little box in ' ^ H Cast He saw lit!In green |>atrlie» that looked very smooth. They Hol ly were fields and meadows. his cage. Then his friend climbed into the man-bird and almost at once there was a- terrible noise which is always made when an airplane engine is started. A few minutes later Dan ny felt himself going up and up and up. He knew he was flying once more. Now, the aviator had made a place for Danny's little cage up where he could see Danny and where Danny could look out and down. He had fixed It so that Danny would be pro tected from the wind. It was a long time before Danny ventured to come out of his little box. But after he had grown used to the noise Danny ventured to poke his nose out. Then he poked his head out. Then he came out altogether. For the first time Danny knew what it was really like to fly. He could look down and see all the Oreat W, rid spread before him. Never before had a Meadow Mouse seen such strange sights as Danny now saw. He saw little green patches that looked very smooth. Really they were fields ar>1 meadows, though Danny didn't know this. He saw / 1 A COATS, NEW WRAPS Smart, Youthful Low Cash and Carry Price* Alteration* Free rougher green pate nee, »nu were groves and green forests. He saw shining, silvery stretches and silvery thnads. These were ponds and lakes and rivers. He saw queer looking little houses, which seemed all crowded together. These w-re towns and villages. He saw little houses all by themselves in the mid dle of green ad brown patch*-*. They looked as if they must have been made for folks no bigger than him self. Really they were farm houses. Once he looked down right on the back of King Eagle, who was Tying below him. He didn't know It was King Eagle, for he never had seen King Eagle close to. But that is who It was, for his head was snowy white. Once all those things below him suddenly seemed to start grow ing. They grew bigger and bigger and bigger so fast that Danny didn't know what to make of it. Then they began to grow smaller and smaller and smaller again. That was when the man-bird had swooped down toward the earth and then climbed up again. Once he could see nothing hut a great, soft mass below him. It was a cloud. Danny was above the clouds, hut of course he didn't know this. It was all so wonderful that Danny forgot to eat. He was^ilrnost sorry when at last that great bird man came down, down, down, and the noise of the engine stopped. (Copyright 1923.)
