Tariff and Other Problems.
For stvcral generations the United Statej
of America has been the greatest consuming
country in the world. Its people are better
fed, better clothed and better housed than those
of any other land. They use up more of the
world products per capita than any other pco
pie. Within the last thirty years the United
States has risen to be the greatest producing
country in the world. Its farms and factories
turn out more of the things humanity needs
than come from any other one country. The
nation's resources are not yet fully developed,
nor its productive capacity realized.
It is natural and reasonable that home wants
and needs should be satisfied with home pro
ducts. The great bulk, almost two-thirds, of
the total imports of the country consist of
sugar and coffee. In order that the home mar
ket may be preserved for the home producer, a
protective tariff was levied by the republican
congress many years ago, and has been held to
as a fundamental policy of the party. Under
it manufacturing has developed until the United
States has attained front rank in that as well
as in food producion.
If our markets are opened to free entry of
all the manufacturers of the world, home pro
ducers will be required to sell in competition
with foreign made goods, which are offered at
prices far below the cost of manufacture in the
United States. To sell his wares cheaper, the
manufacturer must buy cheaper; that reduces
the prices all the way around. VithJ lower
prices come lower wages, reduced buying power,
and the American standard of living is lowered
to the foreign level, which is admittedly below
that of the United States.
Discussion of old age pensions includes con
sideration of wages; is the standard to be a liv
ing wage, or a saving wage? Are the workers
to be kept at the living limit, or to be given
some chance to accumulate for themselves?
Is the chief purpose of our civilization to
produce wealth, or is it to promote human hap
piness? These problems arc closely knit together, so
as to be inseparable. The tariff includes both
wages and wealth. Its consideration is not
academic, but fundamentally vital, because no
single phase of our national life can stand
alone. We all go up or down together, to
prosperity or adversity. As these questions
are answered will come happiness or unhappiness
to our nation.

Railroad Reduced Wages
Recant Orders Elicit Some Lively
Expressions from Nebraska Editors,
Safe Thrift.
The erroueous notion that only farmers were
the victims of blue sky promoters persists, in
spite of disclosures at trial after trial of these
commercial bandits that they preyed on people
of all classes, in the cities and in the rural sec
tions. It is quite the usual thing to find a pile of
worthless securities in, the estate of a deceased
millionaire. Lawyers, doctors, school teachers
and wage earners, men and women bit easily
and numerously on the bait of rich profits.
In a book advising stock salesmen how to
promote a certain speculative enterprise is found
the statement that ministers are easy marks.
Doubtless their general inexperience in business
affairs, together with the desire to supplement
their often inadequate salaries, did lay them open
to deception. Hence the reason for a new plan
drawn up by a board of the Methodist church to
protect clergymen from get-rich-quick projects
by affording an opportunity for sound investment.
"In preparing this plan," Rev. Joseph B.
Hingeley of Chicago told a protestant conference
recently, "we aim to insure the clergy against
poverty in old age. We based the accumulations
on interest compounded semi-annually at 4 per
cent on money paid during the minister's active
years, on which when retired he would receive
a fixed income for life. The actuarial computa
tion shows that if he should begin payments of
$1 a week when 25 years of age and continue
such payments until he was 65, his accumulations
at the usual rates would yield a dollar a day for
the remainder of his life."
This is slow, but not by comparison with the
result of plunging in fake enterprises. To save
thus requires patience and earnest purpose, but
it is sure. Establishment of such sound means
of thrift for small investors is doing more to dis
courage blue sky schemes than any law could do.
Amundsen's Latest Quest
' Roal Amundsen has sailed again to attempt
the feat of drifting with the ice across the top
of the world. Plenty of evidence exists to
prove that arctic currents will carry him over the
course if his ship holds out Just what he will
discover is beyond conjecture; it may bexa vast,
bleak emptiness, it may be a new land. What
ever it is the rugged explorer goes' with an ad
vantage none of his predecessors had. His ves
sel is equipped with a radio service of sufficient
power to keep him in touch with the world all
the time. Had this means of communication
been in practical use a few years ago, the trag
edy of Robert Falcon Scott and his gallant com
panions might have been averted. At any rate,
Amundsen could have communicated with his
rival at the South pole, and a juncture might
have been formed which would have been of ad
vantage to both. Stefansson's long immersion
in the silence of the northland probably heigh
Aid to Farmers Justified.
It serves no real purpose to lend or borrow
money when it will not be put to some pro
ductive purpose. The success of any loaning
agency it measured by the ability of itt cut-

by them and nuke repayment.
By this standard the War Finance corpora.
tiou it completely vindicated of the ill-natured
charge that in endeavoring to restore the farm
ers' credit it wat simply pouring water down a
rat hole. For the latt two months, repayments
to this federal loan agency have exceeded the
amounts disbursed on new applications. In s
tingle day repayment! aggregated $1,129,000.
There are tome who predicted that the gov
ernment would never recover the millions it in
vested in agricultural and live ttock paper. Hintt
were even heard that Uncle Sam did not expect
to get it all back. Yet, with itt loans capable of
being extended for a three-year period, the War
Finance corporation is now taking in faster than
:t is giving out.
Co-operative marketing associations in one
day repaid $145,000, and live ttock loan com
panies made repayments of $131,000. Further
evidence of the sound condition of agriculture
is found in the statement of another great public
agency, the Federal Land bank of Omaha, that
less than $2,000 is ninety days past due on the
millions it has lent to the farmers.
In the last year great progress has been made
toward orderly marketing of farm products. The
War Finance corporation has worked loyally with
the farmers to this end. The fact that they are now
able to borrow from their local banks it ascrib-
able to the confidence that its existence gives.
The middle west has been lifted out of depres
sion largely through the faith, courage and finan
cial assistance of the federal authorities.

Soothing Mr. Hearst.
"My objection is that England usually wants
us to do something to her advantage and against
our own advantage," said William Randolph
Hearst on a visit to London.
The very next day he was invited to luncheon
by David Lloyd George, British prime minister.
'A. result of the late war is that England has
a better estimate of the power and importance
of the United States than she ever had before
and England has apparently come 'this close to
America that she is anxious to employ America's
power for, her world schemes," the New York
publisher declared in an interview twenty-four
hourse before he and Mrs. Hearst dined with
the premier and a few, of his personal friends.
Why did Lloyd George choose to cultivate
his critic with a luncheon invitation? Things
are not managed on so broad a scale here at
home. An Englishman with a record of hostility
to America matching Mr. Hearst's hatred of
British policy would scarcely find welcome at
the White House or at the home, of our secre
tary of state. The American public itself would
not countenance such uncalled for hospitality.
However, here's hoping that Mr. Hearst's
jingoism toward England has been cooled by his
social success, and that he may even be invited
to sit down to a "mess of victuals with the king.
Then, if President Obregon of Mexico and the
mikado of Japan will feed him well, the Ameri
can people can rest from war scares for a time.
Taxes Here and Elsewhere.
Those who are interested in taxes and who
is not will notice from the census reports that
Nebraska's burden is not dissimilar from that of
other states. The dilemma of high taxes is not
confined to any one state but seems to have been
brought about by a general condition.
The Department of Commerce statement
shows that the per capita cost of state govern
ment in Nebraska for 1920 was $10.83. There
is little difference between this and the census
estimate for Iowa of $10.39. It is a great deal
less than in Wyoming, where the average cost
per person reached $24.37, but more than Okla
homa's per capita of $7.44. It is interesting to
note, however, that Oklahoma collected about the
same average revenue as Nebraska, its receipts
amounting to $10.53 per capita, not all of which
was spent.
There is nowhere in the civilized world for
people to go to avoid taxation. By the exercise of
restraint and efficiency they may be reduced. It
does not seem to be a matter of what party is in
office, whether taxes go up or down. No mere
wave of an oratorical wand can accomplish a
saving to the people.
Farm land in Iowa pays about three-fifths of
the taxes of the state. The average per capita
tax amounts to $43.36, or $216.80 for a family
of five. Figures at hand show the per capita tax
in Nebraska for 1920 to have beeen $40.40, and
it is probable that the report for last year will
make at least as good showing for Nebraska as
for its sister state.
One line from Omaha to Oakland, connecting
the Missouri river and the Pacific ocean, was the
dream of the first projectors of the Overland
railroad. Tt may yet be realized to the fullest
The War Finance corporation has advanced
$100,000 for the purpose of assisting in the ex
portation of canned goods; thit matter of finding
a market is as important as production.
Over in Europe it it being suggested that
the clouds along the air lanes be decorated with
ads by use of powerful lights but is "decorated"
the proper word?
In the last year the government is said to
have lost at least $1,000,000 through stoppage of
work on Muscle Sholes. Isn't it about time this
issue was decided?
Indiana democrats also point sorrowfully to
the "failure of the Harding administration." If
they will only watch the newt reports they may
get a surprise.
Mexico is all set for another revolution. That
is one reason why governments down there are
not recognized. They don't ttand stitt long
enough. '

This list Indicates that the animal
foods contain more urlo acid than
those of vegetable origin. The or
gan, such as liver, kidney, pan
creas, thyroid, frys, contain more
than muscles do.
The meat extracts and meat soups
are fairly rich in It, and in sub
stances out of which It Is made, be
cause in the process of making these
products, these chemicals are re
moved from the meat and concen
trated In the extract. -
Oatmeal, peas and beans contain
a moderate amount of uric acid
bodies. On the other hand, pota
toes and onions contain but little,
and when eaten with meat they help
In the elimination of uric acid.
Another acid of animal origin Is
lactic acid. '
A product of muscle action is a
form of lactic and known as sarco
lactlc acid. It is the presence of
this acid which makes the muscles
sore and stiff after excess work or
Play.
I know of no proof that eating
this acid in moderation does any
harm.
The lactic acid produced in milk
as the result of acid fermentation is
even supposed to be wholesome.
Buttermilk is an animal product
rich In lactic acid obtained from
animal sources. We like it, and we
account it wholesome.
Curd and cottage cheese are both
rich in lactic acid.
One claim is that longevity may
result from prolonged eating of
preparations of sour milk.
If there is any proof that the meat
of animals run to death is more
harmful, I do not know of it, though
it may be true.
The eating of high cheeses of one
sort or another, or the eating of
high meats may do harm, though I
know of no proof.
Nor do I know how much acid Is
produced in the decomposition that
is called hlghing, flavoring, season
ing, maturing.
In the main, these are alkali pro
ducing processes, but doubtless in
some of the processes at least some
acid is produced.
Carries Bullet in Body.
K. K. writes: "My father was
shot in the stomach 18 years ago.
He was taken to a hospital, but,
after a fruitless search for the bul
let, after 21 days they stitched
him up.
"He came out of the hospital on
the 24th day.
"Would it be possible for a man
to live with a bullet in his stomach
for 18 years?
"I have learned in school that
lead is poisonous. My father claims
that the bullet has never been taken
out of him. but I don't understand
how a man can live so long with a
bullet in him.
The bullet, he says, was a .38 lead
bullet."
REPLY.
Your father is right. A bullet
might remain embedded without dor
ing any harm for 18 years or several
times that long.
The bullet, being walled off, little
or no lead is absorbed into the
blood.
Hot Vinegar for Nits.
A. M. writes: "Will you kindly
inform me what to do to get rid
of nits in the hair. I have been ad
vised to saturate the hair with tinc
ture of larkspur. - If you do not ap
prove, will you please give me your
remedy? "
REPLY.
To loosen nits from the hair, wash
the hair with hot vinegar. Remove
the excess vinegar with a towel and
then wash and comb.
If nits are well greased they will
not hatch.
Some people fall to rid them
selves of nits because they forget
mat one ambitious female louse can
lay nits about as fast as a mother
can wash them away.

NcHl0M-rH and Religion.
Grand Island. Neh May !. To
the Kdltor of The Hee: I have had
It In my mind for some lima to rail
your attention to the manner In
which your paper, in common with
many other paper, treata religion
news. I do not feel that you give
religion and religious new sufficient
consideration a compared with the
t-onalderntlon that you give to new
that I limply wordly, and especially

I think that ChrlHtlnnitv should

paper thun It receive. It I true
that you puhllah In the evening
paper Saturday the church notices,
out they are not In the morning
Issue and they a-e not In the Sun
day issue. 1 think it would be well
if theao notices were printed in the
Saturday morning Issue, or in the
Sunday morning issue.
Again. I wish to call your atten
tion to the fact that too little atten
tion is given to the subject of Chris
tianity In your Monday papers. For
example. In your Issue of May 23 an
entire page Is given over to sport
news and elaborate account are
given of Sunday baseball game and
other sports, but one looks In vain
In that paper -for any mention of
any of the churches In your city.
Those churches and their minister
are making a great effort to dissemi
nate a knowledge of the truth aa
taught In the Scriptures and to stay
the tide of evil which is so prevalent,
and It certainly seems to me that a
paper should give some considera
tion to the sermons that are deliver
ed and the services that are held tn

not on Sunday.
Last Sunday the general assembly
of the Presbyterian churche In the
United States of America was in e.
sion In De Moines. Ia., and more
than 60 of the leading mlnliters of
that denomination preached In the
various churches of that city. If
there were five baseball game In
that city their performance would
go out all heralded to the world
through the newspapers. However,.
I find no account whatever of any
of these meeting, or any of the ser
mons that were delivered, in your
paper. Perhaps your excuse for giv
ing so much space to new of sport
is that the public demands it. This
is true in a measure, but I believe
there are tens of thousand of per
sona who demand that Christianity
and the church be given greater
publicity than your paper is giving
to thla aubject.

"The World's Best"
If you did not know if from your own experi
ence or observation you could not testify to
the truth of that statement; we would not use it
Here is one product that is so outstandingly
superior that it knows no real rival no equal.
No other truck has done, or can do, its work.
None has shown the same stamina or efficiency.
None has proven equal to carrying its loads
and living as long.
It is literally true that this Speed Wagon will
carry "a pound or a gallon or a capacity load"
between any two points, quicker and cheaper.
Its range of highest efficiency its greatest mar
gin of economy over all others is from 500 to
2500 pounds.
"A quarter-ton to a ton-and-a-quarter."
But inasmuch as it will cover any route with
no load, or loaded to full capacity, cheaper than
either a flimsy-light, or an excessively heavy
truck it has proven to be the world's most
economical carrying unit
The majority in favor of the Speed Wagon is
over-whelming as evidenced by the fact
that today there are more than 70,000 in use.
That's more than of all other makes combined
of similar type or size.
Demand is great. Only way to obtain a Speed
Wagon is to order at once.
Delay means disappointment
