TIIE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. MAY 12. 1922. Farmers Favor Ship Subsidy, Says Federation Head J. R. Howard, President of Organisation, TrlU Joint Meeting of Coiumitteei Stand of Middle Wnt. VViUiiiigloii. May II. (Special TelBramJ The intrrr whan the inldle west lis in building up the American merchant marine v.a c!c scribed today hy.J. It. I Ion aril, e , nrmiiig the view tf the American r arm Bureau federation, whkh damn more than 1,250,00 farmer ember. Mr. Howard it th led nation's prcilent. Mr. Howard addrettrd the joint Bteeting of the innate committee on commerce and the liou.e committee on merchant marine and fisheries in favor of the merchant marine bill, hich a the subject of the recent White llmue conference participated in by Krpretentative Jertcris of Omaha. Representing t!ie farmer of the middle wet, Mr. Howard fliipate4 tit idea that hi seetion i opposed lo ihip subsidy. He acknowledged that the farmer are opposed to sub sidies as a nutter of principle, but principle mut yield, he said, when (he country is confronted with a con dition which warrant the abandon ment. While no reference was made to the St. Lawrence waterway project, it if well understood by the members of the committee that the middle west farmer are intereted in this project a part of the nation merchant ma riue program. Argument Ii Comprehensive. The argument presented by Mr. Howard was the most comprehensive expression yet made of the relation ship existing between the agricultural interests of the country and ocean transportation. In view of the development of co operative marketing and organisation among farmers, Mr. Howard sug gested the time might come when the farmers themselves might un dertake the transportation and sell- ing of their products abroad, and ac cordingly, might become ship own er, thus benefitting directly by the subsidy proposed in the merchant marine bill, which his organization is supporting. The representative of , the farm bureaus said that farmers were wak ing up to the fact that ocean freight rates are just as important to them as railroad rates. This is due to the fact, he explained, that the United. States has become a creditor nation instead of a debtor nation and that now it must go to the markets, in stead of waiting for the markets to come here. He called attention to the fact that the plains of Russia will soon be producing again and that the time had already come when the farmer must seek a foreign Mar ket for his surplus crops and prod ucts. The ship, he said, is the na tion's Tvaffon. and unless this coun try controls its own shipping, the products fronts this country will be subject to the whims of foreign com petitors. ' Questions Tax Provision. Under , cross-examination, Mr. Howard said that his organization questioned only one provision of the pending bill. This is the section which permits income tax exemption on amounts paid for freights in American ships. "We are on record against ta; exemption of every kind," he said; "even tax exemption ort farm loan bonds,. To be consistent -we must definitely oppose this section, but I will say it is the only section which we do oppose." ' Cousin ef Joe - Stecher, Wins Suit for Farm Wages Fremont, Neb., May 11.

"What do you mean? What do you mean?" she whimpered. "Mean? Why, that you must get the money to save him," Netta said fiercely. "I don't know if you care for him I suppose you don t or you wouldn't keep clear of us both like you do. What are you made of?" lie demanded in despair. "If he loved me as he loves you, do you think anything in the world would keep me away front him? 1 shouldn't care if he'd got SO wives. She ought to be dead, that woman! You don'l know her as 1 do you don't know how bad she is." She let Klixabeth go so suddenly that the girl almost fell, but Netta did not heed her; she began pacing about the room, crying and wringing her hands. "She'd sell her soul for money. She's taken every penny he had, I know." She swung round again. "She blackmailed him about you, too. She threatened to spread all manner of lies about you both if he didn't give her what money she wanted. She found out that he cared for you, or she imagined she'd found out. and, she made him pay every time. She's a brute, a brute I wish she was dead." Netta. broke into fresh sobbing. She, was tired ont and her nerves were on edge. This unexpected visit from Elizabeth had proved the last straw, For a moment there was si lence in the room, then Elizabeth said in a cold little voice: "You know he would never take the money from me you know " She could not go on; she felt that her heart was breaking. Netta's words of passionate injustice had hurt her cruelly when the only thing in the world that mattered was that Royston was ill and in trouble. Netta looked up, her face swollen with crying. "Do you think I'd let him know it was from you?" she asked brokenly. "I'm not such a' f-fool as t-that. There are ways it could be done; there are lots of people who owe him money. He's a saint; you're not the only one he's helped. I could find a way to make him take it if he kiljed me for it." She went back to where Elizabeth stood and looked at her earnestly. "You don't love him, Elizabeth?" she said. Elizabeth raised her eyes; eyes that were all the more pitiful because they could not find the relief of te&rs. "I'd give my life for him." she said tonelessly. "He knows, and he he- sent me away. There wai a tragic silence, then Netta said with a rough humility: "I'm sorry I spoke like a fool; for give me, Elizabeth, but I've beep so miserable." "She dried her eyes fiercely. "You must get the money." she said. "You will get it, won't your . ; "Yes." Elizabeth spoke with quiet confi dence. If Netta had demanded 1,000 pounds she would unhesitatingly have promised it; it no longer troubled her to know that she had to go to Farmer for it she hardly gave hjm a thought; the money was for B,oys ton, that was enough; she would have sold herself body and soul t? help him. ' "How much must he have?" she asked. Netta laughed mirthlessly. ' j "There's a man named Bruton who owes him 200 pounds," she said. "If you could get that" she broke pff, to add in despair: "But you can't get all of that of course." "Yes, I can," Elizabeth said, "if you if you are sure you can do the rest make him take it, I mean," SCHM0LLER& MUELLER Period Model Phonographs Specially Priced for OneWeek Only rr 1 ONE DOLLAR DOWN and the purchase of a few records of your own choice and the Period Pfaoaofraph of your selection will be sent at once to your home, terms will b arranged to suit your convenience on the balance.

F-lirabeth's voice was apa. thetie; at that moment the contrast between the two girls was strange. Netta was all trar and pasion and despair, and F.luabrtli looked like marble and spoke without ekpreion. There was a poignant silence; then she moved. "I think I had better go; Mine. Se nestis wjll wonder where I am." For the firt time a burning flush tinged the whitenct of her checks. "Netta, you'll let me know how he ii, and what happens?" she implored fevrishly. She as tortured with Jealousy; it was unfair, her heart cried, that she who loved him best might not be with him, or even see him.
