To d a y' 1925 Holy Year. Man Foolish. but Able. Law Is Manifest Will, or Yo Law. The Ex-Husband Problem. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANEy A solemn scene in the pope's throne room in the Vatican yester day. Surrounded by his papal guards and all the court dignitaries of the Vatican, the pope handed his bulletin proclaiming 1925 a holy year, to Monsignor Wilner and Mon signor Dlyen, apostolic prothono taries. The two monsignors kissed the pope’s foot, withdrew and read the bulletin from the porticia of St. Peter's, and later in other churches. This papal bulletin proclaims “the sacred universal 22nd jubilee,” and the pope predicts, for the holy year 1925, a restoration of brotherly feeling among nations. Various “indulgences” go with the holy year. Pilgrims from afar must, 10 times in the year, visit the churches of Saints Peter, Paul, John and Maria Maggiore. Residents of Rome must make 20 visits to gain the indul gences. These include shortening of the sojourn in purgatory, and other in dulgences of great moment to the faithful. Captain Doisy, plucky Frenchman, who started, without special prepar ation, to fly from Paris to Japan, has reached Pekin. His plane had an accident, but he borrowed an other and went on. Every little French boy knows the lines "From Paris to Pekin, from Pekin to Rome, the most fool ish animal in my opinion is man.” Alan may be a foolish animal, in fact, he is, since he commits murder wholesale and calls it “glorious war.” But man is an able animal, with all his brutalities and supersti tions. He is just now climbing Mt. Everest. He flies around the world, on which his ancestors used to creep so slowly, goes down to the bottom of the sea, and really rules the earth. That takes brains. Americans criticize the British government for allowing whisky shipments to this country. And Britain, anxious to oblige, talks of taking his title from Sir Broderick Hartwell, because he advertises 20 per cent profit on American boot legging. _ Why is it England's business to police this country, or help us to obey and respect our own laws’ We don’t forbid packers to ship beef to India, or pork to Mohammedans. If they don’t want to eat beef or pork, that is their affair, not ours. If Americans will not obey their own constitution, that is their busi ness, not Britain’s. That laws or constitutional amendments cannot prevent whisky drinking is proved at the big uni versities. Princeton men pledge themselves to keep whisky out of their societies, Columbia boys urgi each other to forego “their personal / preference,’’ which means whisky drinking, for the sake of the uni versity. Good prohibitionists, who sup posed that putting prohibition in the constitution would do everything, are disappointed. Human beings do what they want to do, and such of their laws as are enforced merely put into legal words what the majority want to do. Methodists take the ban from theaters and dancing, but not from divorce. You can be divorced for one reason only—infidelity. Your husband may beat you to a jell, or you may nag him into a disease known to comic artists as “the hebiejeebies.” But that does not justify divorce. When divorce is justified, only the innocent party may remarry. That sounds reasonable, but ques tions come up. For instance, what do >-qu expect the guilty half of the marriage to do, if you won’t let him marry again? It's usually a "him” that is guilty. Methodists have read that the leopard cannot change his spots or the Ethiopian his stain. Can the imperfect husband live as you would like to his him live, outside of marriage? Condemned to bachelor hood, will he not go up and down in the land like a raging lion, seek ing whom he may devour? Does it make the world safe for innocence to keep all the bad ex husbands on the alert for unsophis ticated girlhood? Would it not be wise to let each husband failure have at least one more chance? He might get for a second wife somebody that would worry him into behaving himself. On the Indianapolis speedway yesterday racers drove their cars at a speed well above 100 miles an hour, averaging over 98 miles an hour for the first 150 miles. Henry Ford, who was judge of the race, insured the life of every racer for $10,000 per life, at his own ex pense. One hundred miles per hour would have seemed incredible when men were marching off to the Span ish war. It seems slow to young fliers that fought in the recent war. It will esem like crawling to fliers of the future that will cross the Atlantic soon, and the Pacific later, between sunrise and sunset. John D. Rockefeller, jr., has given $1,000,000 to repair the roof of the Rheims cathedral, and to re pair various palaces in France of an artistic value incalculable. That’s a better way to spend mon ey than collecting “art” for your own private gallery. Nevertheless, American collectors render public service. All things worth while drift eventually into the public mu seum, and just now Europe is ready to sell to Americans works of art that cannot possibly be duplicated, and that this country needs.

FARMERS FINISH CORN PLANTING Norfolk, Neb., June 1.—Many, farm ers in Madison county have com pleted the planting of the 1924 corn crop, and In many cases the early planted corn is up out of the ground. The rain of the last week, general over this part of the country, will cause /fin even growth of the corn, It Is thought. , As much listed corn has been plant ed in this vicinity as "check row corn," with the latter slightly ahead In growth at this early stage of the growing season. Farmers here esti mate that more than half of the corn has been planted. Practically no spring wheat was sown in this section this year atul early oats will be short because of cold weather. Farmers have sown a large acre age of potatoes and timely moisture indicates a good crop prospect. Apple and cherry trees give early indications of a good crop, while the berry crop will be unusually heavyr Hamilton County Claims Prize Hog Herd Assessment Aurora, Neb., June 1.—County As sessor Frank C. Kundle claims that the champion assessment of hogs in the state is that of Frank Johnson, living near Hordvllle. Johnson listed 9'j hogs, averaging in weight 700 pounds each. The largest In his herd weighs 900 pounds. Those hogs are Durocs and some of them are 5 years old. He has been offered $18 per hundredweight for them. Charles Herrod of Giltner has the largest personal property assessment among the farmers of Hamilton coun ty. He listed 500 head of fat cattle and 1,000 hogs of all sizes. ADVERTISEMENT.

Glascock, 74, well-known old time Kansas contractor, declares he has virtually been made young again by the recently discovered korex compound, which by many users is pronounced superior to "gland treatments," as an invlgorator and revitalizer. "I feel like I did at 35," says Mr. Glascock, "and seem to be getting stronger every day. During my three weeks' use of the new discovery, pains and weaknesses of many years’ stand. Ing disappeared almoBt magically. To day I am as vigorous and supple as I was In the prime of life. Further more, when 1 began using the com pound, my memory was virtually gone and I was almost blind. Now my mind is clear and active and I ran read the finest print without diffi culty.” In order to find out whether the results were lasting, Mr. Glascock waited six months before reporting on his test of the discovery. On this point he says: "Every passing day strengthens my conviction that my restoration Is not only complete but permument. I can't express the happiness this great discovery has brought to tne. It. has made me 'young' again." Similar reports are being made al most dally. For Instance, D. W. Wood of New Orleans, past #0 years of age, says: “ThP compound has brought me hack to as good, healthy physical condition us 1 enjoyed at 35. I am apparently ns supple ns at 25 and my eyesight Is better than for years. I would not take $5,000 for what the discovery has done for me." The compound referred to by Mr. Glascock and Mr. Wood Is put up in tablets for easy use at home by any one. It has won the praise of thou sands who suffered from nervous ex haustlon, diminished or depleted vig or, neurasthenia, premature nge and lack of animation and vital force. El <!crly people have pronounced it a •'fountain of youth." 1 ' ‘ THOMAS J. GLASCOCK. Prepared especially for acting directly on lower spinal nerve centers and blood vessels, gratifying benefits are known usually In a few days, ac cording to thousands who have used It. Enthusiastic reports from users acclaim the compound as giving speedy satisfaction In obstinate cases that had defied all other treatments pievlously used. Realizing that thousands of en feebled, half alive folk may consider such news “too good to be true,” the American distributors have agreed to supply a regular size, full strength treatment of the Jcorex compound discovery on a guaranteed trial basis to everyone who feels the need of such a preparation. If you wish to test the compound under n money back guarantee, write to the Melton Laboratories, 1473 Melton Building, Kansas City, Mo. You may enclose two dollars or simply send your name, without money, and pay two dollars and postage on delivery of the plain sealed package, ss you prefer. in either case, however, If you report within ten days that you are not sat isfied, the laboratories M^l refund the purchase price upon request. These laboratories are nationally known and thoroughly reliable, so anyone may feel free to arcept their guaranteed offer. -- -- Club ^eek Opens at State College With ‘)00 Present Prize inners From Nebras ka Farms Pour in to Cele brate Seven Days of School anti Sightseeing. By AftMoriuted Pren*. Lincoln June 1.—The cream of Ne braska farm youth streamed into Lin coln today for the ninth annual Boys' and Girls' club week. The boys and girls, coming from farms of the state, have been participating for one or more years In agricultural and home economics rlubs—designed and spon sored by the state agricultural ex tension service for the improvement of the morale and' education of the junior farm occupants who will later be the bread providers of the state. Three hundred J>oys and girls who have won the county championship In their home counties in the various phases of club activity entered the city for the week's entertainment and schooling at the state agricultural college. They were to spend the day regis tering and visiting the many points of interest on the college campus and i probing Into the arts of scientific farming. These trips over the I’ni vosslty of Nebraska Agricultural col lege campus were to he lead by mem bers of the ‘‘4H Club” a group of former boys' and girls' club members who are now taking courses at the state farm college. Most of the boys and girls who came to Lincoln today had their expenses paid by some business organization or business man who is Interested In the promotion of more club work and bet ter farm education. A trip to club week is reckoned as a coveted honor In the state farm clubs, the county agents, who lead them, explained. "Some of these boys and girls have never been away from home before, and we want to entertain them royal ly,” L. I. Friable, state extension agent in dub work said today. Friable is to have charge of the club program for this week. “B'ond parents need not worry for Johnny during this week away from home," B’rishie said, "because every single one of the hoys and girls will he under the supervision of members of the agricultural extension force both day and night. The youngsters will stay together in groups during their day time trips over the city, and they will sleep in the buildnigs on the college campus. This practice has been followed during the previous club weeks with satisfactory results and those in charge this year have all had previous experience." The boys and girls range in ag* from 12 to 19 years. Kach of them comes from the farm with expenses paid and many have been awarded trips for their excellence In their club work in 1923. Mornings will be spent In classes at the college and afternoon will be spent by the hoys and girls in visits to places of interest in Lincoln. B’ri day will be spent in Omaha.

I Farmer Who Hangs Onto Old Red Cow Is Losing Money, Statistics Prove By P. S. PAGE, State Colics* of Agriculture. Why does the average farmer, on a diversified farm, insist on keeping two or three poor cows Instead of two or three good ones? Our farmers and our dairymen seem to he working in opposition to each other. Most farm ers deliberately prefer to keep a couple of old red cows, that produce milk enough for family use, rather than keep something better and be "bothered” with hauling a little profitable cream to town about twice a week. For every dairyman who is trying by every known means to raise the average milk production of the American dairy cow, we have a couple of dozen farmers who are undoing his work by feeding high grade feed to lew grade cows. Now here are gome facts. The av erage farmer sells only cream, feeding the skim milk on the farm. For this cream he gets paid on a butterfat basis. So I will deal only in butter fat. The summarized records of 18,014 cows divided among 120 American cow testing associations, show that a cow producing 25 pounds of butter fat in a year, falls $31.45 short of paying her feed hill, figuring butter fat at 38c per pound. If she gives 175 pounds of fat, at 44c per pound, the profit over feed cost is $27.90. But If she gives (100 pounds, at 41c per pound, -the profit is $157.87. Dairy man Keeps Ip Average. The estimated production per cow of ail the dairy cows in tile United States is 4,000 pounds of milk and 160 pounds of butterfat a year. And your cow, Mr. Farmer, Is poorer than this average. It is the dairyman's heard that keeps this poor averagge from going still lower. But for con venience sake let us say that your cow does give 160 pounds of butterfat a year. I.et us even stretch a point and say that you feed her alfalfa hay, instead of wintering her around that stack of fine nutritious straw, as do most farmers. Thirdly, we are justified In assuming that the income figures from 18,014 cows are fairly accurate. Ac cording to the figures mentioned above then, your 160 pounds of butterfat will net you $33.64 above feed costs, at 44c per pound of fat, and you can't take care of your cow for $33.64 a year. With a little care and fore thought you could keep a cow that produces 500 pounds of butterfat In stead of 160. And In that case the profit would be $137.22 above feed eost, figuring butterfat at only 43c instead of 44c. Consider the difference, over $100 per year per cow. And that $100 is yours if you care to have it. Nebraska Builds I'p Herd. Let me tell you how the University of N'ehrnska Holstein herd got start ed. The Nebraska university is tak ing a leading place among breeders of dairy cattle, and particularly Hol steins. In three classes, 1. e„ senior 4-year-old, junior 4-year-old, and senior 3-year-old classes, the Nebraska col lege cows now lead all college herds in yearly production. The herd has been developed from one foundation cow-. About 25 years ago the college bougiit Karen 2d In heifer form. She proved to be a producer of male calves, but one female, Katy Gerben, was dropped. Katy Gerben, as a ma ture cow, made 733 pounds of fat and 19,162 pounds ef milk. Six generations have descended from Karen 2d. The best of blood has been introduced by tlie careful selection of herd sires, and very careful inbred ing has been practiced. Today the 15 highest records average 721.C pounds of fat and 19,634 pounds of milk, A few of the best cows are Sultana with 928 pounds of fat, Kittle Gerben Lin coln with 733 pounds of fat, and Ailie Lincoln with 846 pounds of fat and 22,159 pounds of milk. The following shows the steady improvement of the herd. In 1921, all Holstein cows, in cluding young stuff, averaged 425 pounds of fat; In 1922, 524 pounds, and In 1923, 565 pounds. Careful Breeding Demonstrated. One herd sire that wrought much improvement in the varsity herd was King Derby Lincoln. Nine of his daughters are now in the herd, and average, at 4 years 5 months of age. 710 pounds of fat against their dams’ average of 512 pounds. Recently Prof. H. p. Davis, at the head of the dairy department, has managed to procure for the herd a full brother of King Derby Lincoln. The Nebraska college herd is dem onstrating what careful breeding and selection will do In building up the production of a dairy herd. In like manner and on a smaller scale, every farmer can improve his cows, whether he keeps one or 100. BUTTERMAKERS OF IOWA ORGANIZE Audubon, la., June 1.—The butter ! makers of Audubon and adjoining counties met here and formed an or ganization which will be known as Section 12 of the Iowa Buttermakers? association. Officers for this jeari are Paul Border of Manning, presi- j dent; E. C. Jensen of Harlan, vice | president, and D. Jessen of Klmball ton, secretary-treasurer. Since Audu bon Is most centrally located It was decided to make this city permanent headquarters if suitable arrangements can be made. The object of the association Is to promote the efficiency of its members, to weed out inefficient operators and to promote the social and business relations of the creameries In this sec tion of the state. Shorthorn Salt- at St. Edward. Columbus, N’eb., June 1.—Thirty nine short horns from W. E. Happ's herd of pure breds near St. Edward, N'eb., brought $117 on an average at a puplie sale here today.

Idncoln, June 1.—The volume or business in the Tenth Federal Reserve district Is behind that of a year ago, says the monthly review of the Fed eral Reserve bank of Kansas City, is sued here. Moderate increases in most lines of Industrial and trade activity over previous months of the current year are reflected by the reports, which supply a substantial basis for this Issue of the review. The back ward spring, the long deferred warmth and sunshine, together with political and economic unsettlement, however, are reported to have had a tendency to stay progress, with the result that the expansion has not come up to ex pectations. Continuing, the report says: "Conservative buying by retailers from wholesalers continues to feature the mercantile trade, altthough the multiplicity of small orders is con tributing to the making of a tremend ously large volume of goods dis tributed throughout the district. While the general run of wholesale trade ap pears to he lagging behind last year in volume, the returns show distribu tion of commodities, notable groceries and drugs, exceeds that for the month of April last year.

It will be automatically prevented from being up ct *r from crashing down. According to Nimfuehr, the wins* can automatically move forward op backward and upward and down ward, this work being done with an auxiliary motor. Nimfuehr calls his device for se curing equilibrium a "mechanical brain." It. will indicate changes of air pressure, measure the forces dis turbing equilibrium and do other use. ful things now left to the skill of the pilot.
