Thawing Out Agricultural Assets.
At this time, when immense loans are about
to be made for the benefit of afirictilturc in Ne
braska, it is only fair to examine the security.
Full assurance of ample resources on which to
bane the loan of millions of dollars is given in
the newly issued census bulletins giving farm
statistics for the state. It would not be prepos
terous to say that a billion dollars might be
lent safely on farms and farm property here.
The value of all farm property in Nebraska
an January 1, 1920, was found to be $4,201,655,
992. Live stock was valued at $336,443,784;
buildings at $381,885,420; implements and ma
chinery at $153,104,448. The greatest value was
In the land, the 42,157,120 acres in farms ainount
ffif to $3,330,222,340. To these figures it may be
objected that the slump of the last two years
las reduced the value of all these assets. Such
may be the case, but it certainly is not true that
they hive been as a whole put back to the posi
tion of 1910; the valuation of farm property at
hat time wai well above $2,000,000,000. '
Some idea of the productive power of the
farms of Nebraska must also be given, still hold
ins; in mind that at present market prices no such
sum are being obtained by the farmer, but that
a revision of prices upward must and will come.
Thus, 151,000,000 gallons of milk were produced
here, and the value of the butterfat and other
dairy products amounted to $23,706,963; more
than half a million sheep produced wool valued
in 1919 at $1,229,894; the egg production, amounting-
to more than 49,000,000 dozen, was valued at
$16,000,000 for the year. These are minor mat
fern, compared to the value of beef cattle, hogs
and Cereals, the main products. The total value
of all crops two years ago was $519,729,771, and
fof 1909, $194,401,937.
Such are the assets of Nebraska agriculture.
Through the depression of prices, these assets are
now to be classified as frozen. The value is
there there is just as much nutriment in the
wheat, corrf and other products, no matter what
the price and the effort now is to enable the
farmers to get full value out of them. The War
Finance corporation and the sibsidiary loan
agencies such as the one formed in Omaha the
other day, capitalized at $1,000,000, have as their
object the restoration of profit to agriculture.
The confidence of the government in the solid
worth of agricultural output and capital is plainly
to be seen, and the justification for this con
fidence is also apparent.
Bringing Russia Into the Fold.
The propaganda from Washington now in
cludes Russia, with a hint at a combination be
tween Russia, China and the United States, with
regard to the future of mainland Asia. All this
is mighty interesting. It serves to recall that
General Jan Smuts, taking leave of England in
the late summer of 1919, said the reorganization
of Russia and the recognition of whatever form
of government its people adopt is inevitable. The
Bee has from the first insisted that the govern
ment of Russia is a matter for the Russian peo
ple to determine, just as is that of the United
States a matter for its citizens alone. So long
as the Russians maintain their external integrity,
it matters not what .state their home affairs
are in.
The difficulty has been that the Soviets have
not tried to maintain their external integrity;
they declared war on all the world, in effect,
when they undertook the universal spread of
bolshevism. When they can find themselves con
tent to abandon the effort to force all other na
tions into their way of thinking, the Soviets will
encounter little trouble in coming into interna
tional relations. Here will be found a way to the
salvation of the soviet. Sobriety in its relations
with the world will tend to discourage levity in
-its domestic doings.
Liberty may be set up, freedom for the people
in all ways exercised, but not under the rule of a
despotism that pretends to champion the holy
cause of human liberty but forbids any other than
its Own peculiar principle or policies to be prac
ticed. When Russia can behave like a good
neighbor, she will find the circle of nations open
and ready to welcome her.
Christmas Gifts for the Vets.
Omaha is proposing to make it a merry
Chrijtmas for the members of the late A. E. F.
who are now what they describe in their own
way as being "S. O. L." Each of these chaps is
to be rounded tip, filled with turkey, mince pie
and other things, and then turned out again?
Probably, but not if Adjutant Harry Hough
of" the local Legion post has his way.
Adjutant Hough suggests that the most ap
propriate and practical gift that can be made to
. one of these lads is a job. ThU is correct enough.
It may cot be possible to !1 the order entirely,
fcut some effort should be made to carry out the
ieggertion in its full scope. Business is not
"cfcn:g cp as rapid'y as some l-.oped it would,
and considerable depression is noted in all lines
that usually afford employment. The dead ot
winter is not a very good time to go around
hunting work, but here is an unusual situation
Every emolover who is figuring on adding to hii
force on or about the beginning of the new year
should make it a point to find out if a jobless
veteran of the World War will not meet In re
ouiremenU. A Christmas dinner it all right in
its way, but it is soon digested, while a steady
job means dinner every day down a lorg sticces
sion of days.
Canada's Remarkable Flop,
Results of the general election in Canada in
volve something more than a nitre agrarian re
volt. A complete reversal of the external and
to a large extent of the internal policy of the
Dominion i indicated by the voting. When
Wilfrid Laurier appealed to the electorate on the
reciprocity idea, ten years ago, he was over
whelmingly defeated. Not only was lie driven
from power, but his party was nearly annihilated.
Now, on the issue of continuing the protective
policy then enthusiastically endorsed, the con
servative party is buried under a defeat even
more decisive than that suffered by the liberals
under Laurier.
On the surface this means that Canada pro
poses to modify or abandon the high tariff that
has been effective for the last decade or longer,
and to seek closer relations with the United
States in the matter of trade. Of a total of
$1,064,516,169 merchandise imports for 1920,
Canada received $801,632,849, or practically four
fifths, from the United States. On the other
hand, Canadian imports for 1920 amounted to
$1,286,658,709, of which only $464,029,014, or just
over one-third, came to the United States. In
other words, Canada buys from us nearly twice
as much as'shc sells to us. More than one-third
of the total imports enter the Dominion duty free.
Before reciprocity had been rejected by the
Canadians, President Taft had been authorized
by congress to apply a retaliatory duty against
Canadian goods entering this country, but this
was never enforced. The Canadian policy was
enforced to the end that great American conce'rns
found it convenient to erect branch factories
across the border in order to do busi
ness. The industrial growth of Ontario rests on
this foundation. Now a change has come Over
the situation. With branch plants of United
States industries firmly established and success
fully operating, the Canadian statesmen would
like to readjust relations on a basis that will favor
their agriculture, and reciprocity comes again to
the front. Of course, all the world is included in
it now, but Uncle Sam is the closest neighbor
and will get the most attention.
As affects the domestic, concerns of Canada,
the revolt is of a genuine agrarian character.
Farmers have determined to take over the gov
ernment and carry it on along lines that seem'
wise to them, but which have been rejected by
the conservatives.- Americans may note with
some interest the presence of William Lyon
Mackenzie King as leader of the liberals, and re
call that a few years ago he was the publicity
manager for the Standard Oil and its allies in
the United States.
Crazy Like a Fox.
Once in a while the heirs ot a wealthy man
sue to prevent his wasting his fortune which by
a process of anticipation they have come to re
gard as theirs. Extravagance in such cases is1
held to indicate insanity, and sometimes judges
appoint a conservator for the fortune.
No such solution could be arrived at for the
suit of the wife of a Buffalo millionaire to have
him declared insane on the grounds that he is
too thrifty. It would be an unheard-of thing to
appoint a man to assist the defendant in spending
his money. Although well able to afford the
royal suite at the best hotel, the husband is al
leged to live at a cheap boarding house. Instead
of having his breakfast served in bed, or patron
izing a cafe where he would be served more food
than he could eat, he is charged with eating his
breakfast out of a paper bag. It is further al
leged that he has not been to a barber in years.
The dispatch leaves it in doubt whether he shaves
himself or just lets his beard luxuriate.
There may be other evidence which will provj
him irrational, but it will not resemble this. He
may have more money than he knows what to da
with, but that only proves him fortunate rather
than unfortunate. Undoubtedly his is a thrifty
disposition, but even though the modern tendency
is to extravagant spending, he surely can not be
locked up' in an asylum for that. In the words
of a bygone slang, this old man is craz", like a fox.
The rising price of meats promises to interest
the public in the packers' strike. If the plants
are running short of supplies, the conclusion
must be that the men are not working.

The proposal for a new state seal for Ne
braska smacks too much of the snobbery of the
new rich who are ashamed of their humble be
ginnings, to gain popular support.
A convention of governors now in session
in North Carolina recalls a once famous com
munication between the executives of that and
its sister commonwealth.
One woman has been elected to membership
on the local American Legion executive com

Banker Morse, wno was also Iceniaker Morse
as well as Shipbuilder Morse, is now accused of
being Embezzler Morse. Quite a versatile chap.
Commodity prices continue to decline, says
the Department of Commerce, but the way down

who love freedom.

(From the Boston Transcript)
Mr. George Bernard Shaw plunged almost as
badly on the Washington conference as he did
on the tight between Dempsey and Carpenticr.
It will be remembered that Mr. Shaw predicted
cn easy victory for the Frenchman at Jersey City.
Carpeutit'r, it seems, had wonderful intellectual
qualities as well as superior strength and agility,
It was an impossibility that a mere yokel like
l)cnuscy should overcome such a man. Mr.
Shaw, as all the world knows, is always infallible
beforehand. And we now perceive, from a highly
interesting article of his which was published in
the London .Nation of November u nominal:
the very dav after Mr. Hughes' famous deliver
ance but, under the publishing arrangements of
weekly journals, actually a !ay belore it Air,
Shaw was characteristically infallible in forecast
ing the work and the prospects of the Washing
ton conference.
"To begin with," says Mr. Shaw in this ar
ticle, "though the conference may stage one or
two oublic meetings within earshot of the prens,
nothing real will be done or told there. It may
not even go so far. In Washington the dele'
gates who really mauer will confer; but they will
not confer in public." What they really do, he
was sure, would never come out unless the dele
gates could take part in a Gargantuan banquet
and upset their discretion with wine. But, Mr,
Shaw reflects, "such banquets would have to be
quite wet; and America has gone dry." Through
knowing so much about the habits and weak
nesscs of statesmen, Mr. Shaw knows just what
the conference will do. Its business is not dis
armament, but the old task of arranging a bal
ance of power that shall be satisfactory to all
parties; and as no arrangement will be satisfac
tory to all parties, the conference will find itself
pursuing a will-o -tne-wisp. japan will Did
against America, he says, for British support,
and America for a makeweight will first look to
building up a strong China (but not too strong)
and a strong Germany (as strong as you like)."
Amazingly clear-sighted Mr. shawl. How could
he have known beforehand that all America
would be grovelling at the feet of Germany for
an alliance by this time! He says, moreover, that
Jingland cannot with decency repudiate the
Anglo-Japanese alliance after what she has re
cently gained by it." Wonderful prescience of
the man!
Mr. hhaw, like Mr. Wells, says some
enormously interesting things about the confer
ence and about diplomats and politicians in gen
eral. They are intercesting because it is Mr.
Shaw who says them. But really the only sig
nificant thing about his article is the proot that
it affords that a man may be the most enter
taining living writer and at the same tirpe know
absolutely nothing about what is coing on in
the world, if is case, with Mr. Wells , raise the
question whether, after all, the charm of a popu
lar writer is not in proportion to his ignorance
of public affairs. The human mind, in this age
of the world, is necessarily so much concerned
with realities that it ceaselessly craves unrealities,
plausible delusions, delightful contradictions of
fact, as a relief, a distraction. "Things are in the
saddle and ride mankind." But along comes an
Olympian paradoxist who can", by the magic of
word-mastery, reverse the process and enable us
to prance around on the back of facts and cir
cumstances like a triumphant cowboy on a buck
ing bronco tnat can not displace him by any wild
effort whatsoever. And a wondering fact-weary
world Unas the process delightful.
Mr. Shaw, who was invited to attend the
Washington conference as a professional journal
ist, would have been, like Mr. Wells, nothing but
a nuisance there. But sitting in his library in
England and illuminating every event in the re
verse sense he is altogether invaluable.

Silk Socks and Soda Water
Somebody is always taking the joy out of
life. Just as we get all worked up over the
colossal burden of taxes the government makes
us carry to buy armaments, along comes some
Washington chap with statistics to prove that last
year's bill for the army was mere pocket money
compared to what we spent for chewing gum,
silk socks and soda water. To say the least, it
is disquieting.
With armament reduction well in hand at the
Washington conference, we had been congratulat
ing ourselves on the blessings in sight. 'Then
along come the figures that do not lie, or the liars
that figure to load us up with another burden of
moral worries.
According to internal revenue returns, the
American people in 1920 paid the following bills:
For the army. $418,000,000; for tobacco, $1,151,
000,000; for chewing gum and candy, $750,000,.
000; for soda water and confections, $834,000,
000; for amusements, such as base ball, cabarets
and movies, $897,000,000; and for silk stockings,
perfumes and other matters of milady's wardrobe,
$959,000,000.
Ot course, one can moralize over thes'e figures
in almost any fashion. In the last analysis it
comes down to the question: "When is a luxury
a luxury?"
4. When we Americans get to spending on Lady
Nicotine nearly as much as is required for a first
class navy, it might seem that a good thing is
being overdone. When we spend $834,000,000 at
soda fountains it would appear that community
drives all over the country should have no trou
ble m raising their budgets. Yet they do. With
the cry heard everywhere that there is a shortage
of money to meet vital needs, still figures show
that much money is spent for nonessentials. And
so the story goes.

What in known as organic heart
Is a crippling of the-heart wall and
principally the heart valv-ps by in

Tho Infections which nuse heart
dicease are principally rheumatimn,
pneumonia, colds, oouehs, sore
throats, scarlet fever and diphtheria.
The heart may not show the rfi-
snlts of an Injury for many years
after the disease which caused the
trouble.
Even then It may work fairly well
for years unless a second Infection
occurs.
Backspts in heart disease are the
result of infections.
If this teaching be true, persons
with heart disease must avoid In
fections above all else. In the win
ter timo they must keep out of
crowds and away from the hot, dry !
air of houses to avoid catching cold.
If they get even a mild cold they
must take care of themselves. They
must keep their noses, throats and
teeth clean. , ,
Gall bladder infection, appendici
tis and pelvic infections endanger
these persons' hearts and must be
guarded against.
Whatever causes neuritis, neural
gia and rheumatism must be avoid
ed because of the danger to the
heart as well as because of the pain
of the more immediate diseases.

Jack began rttmaging under the sew

When Jill entered, prepared to
spend an evening embroidering, with
Jack entertaining her with a good
ttory from the latest magazine he
was crunching away on something.
"Didn't you have enough dinner?
What are you eating?"
"Oh, just nibbling on a cracker,"
he answered.
He began to read to her, and then
absent mindedly stopped. Jill watch

She said nothing.

Some are due to a heart muscle of

Watch Tomorrow's Papers
Pernicious Hospitality
If there is a humorous side to the plight in
which some of the delegates to the Washington
conference find themselves as a result of the ex
cessive hospitality and sociability they have met
in the American capital city, there is a serious
side also.
When a man is obliged to eat more than he
should, night alter night; when he is sys
tematically robbed of sleep, when he is called
upon to expend his energies recklessly in meeting
long lines of strangers, he is bound to become
unfit for business, even though he may be a
hardened diplomat and versed in the science of
taking care of himself under the most adverse
conditions. The fine edge of his capabilities
wears off. His imagination becomes frayed and
dulled. His brain lacks something of its normal
clearness, and perhaps most serious 'of all, his
temper loses the fineness of its poise.
The fact that two or three delegates in Wash
ington have actually been obliged to take to
their beds temporarily because of the social de
mands made upon them may easily provide a
reason why some of the conference discussions
are not going as expeditiously or as smoothly as
they ought to go. Detroit Free Pres.
