Maher, of Lin. coin, Is First President— Send Delegates to St. Louis Convention. Lincoln. Neb., May 7.—The American Legion, a national organization of world war soldiers, has been organized in Nebraska. The meeting was held in representative hall at the state Cap itol building. The following officers were elected: President, MaJ. John G. Maher, Lin coln; first vice president, Edward P, McDermott, Kearney; second vice president, Gene Kane, Palls City; sec retory, Hugh C. Robertson, Omaha; treasurer, Prank Perkins, Fremont. Members of the executive committee were seleced from each of the six dis tricts of the state. The president was authorized to appoint a committee of two from the executive committee to draft a constitution and prepare by laws after the national organization adjourns. It meets In St. Louis May 7. Lieutenant Alien Tukey, of Omaha, called the meeting to order. Private T. .1. McGuire, of Omaha, said that the or ganization of world war veterans will be able to show that it is not founded on selfish motives and that it will take steps to find employment for returned soldiers and help them in other ways. Lieutenant Tukey said that It has been charged that Lieutenant Colonel RodseVelt, who is at the head of the organization, was prompted to associ ate Himself with It for selfish political motives, but the speaker assured the soldier's present that Roosevelt had merely accepted the presidency of the national organization because of a de mand for a competent man in that pos ition and he was considered the man for the place. Thirty-two counties were represented at the birth of the organ isation. Delegates were named to rep resent Nebraska at the meeting of the national association. ROAD PROGRAM IN . NEBRA8KA BIG ONE Inncoln, Neb., May 7.—Nebraska will spend nearly $12,000,000 for good road building diirlng the next two years. It is figured that the automobile road tax will bring a revenue of about $2,600,000 a year for the two years. A bill passed by the legislature lays out & highway building program covering 6,000 miles. The work which is contemplated for the next two years will be largely along the lines of grading and draining of these highways, the construction of permanent bridges and culverts and the kind of surfacing needed for the future. In the construction of these roads the state will not be placed at the mercy of the owners of road building materials. One of the new laws passed empowers the Btate board In charge to condemn whatever land It needs to get these materials, to busr the necessary machinery for operation and to use convicts If necessary In producing them. GERMAN PREACHER8 ATTACK NEW LAW Omaha, Neb., May 7.—The German' Lutheran church has made an attack in the courts on the Nebraska law re quiring that all religious services and schools be conducted In the English language The Missouri synod oi Lutherans, recognized as the German church, practically all of whose pastors came from Germany and which conducts pa rochial schools in connection with the church, was the plaintiff In the suit. The suit Is directed at the governor and attorney general, and the court Is asked for an Injunction preventing these officials from placing in effect the anti-German language law enacted by the legislature which lias Just ad journed. The church declares the law is a vio lation of the constitution of the T’nlted States and of Nebraska, and prevents] exercise of religious worship according to Individual conscience.

PHONE COMPANY MUST PAY TAX IN FREMONT Lincoln, Neb.. May 7. The supreme court of Nebraska lias upheld the val idity of an occupation tax imposed by the city of Kremont upon the Postal Telegraph company. The tax is held not to be a charge upon interstate commerce merely because the tax ex ceeds the company's net receipts in that municipality. The court holds that a. tax of $60 u year in a city of over 8,000 inhabitants is not unreas onable. --4— LINCOLN--The farm labor situation is still acute In the grait. growing counties, according to county agent reports com ing to R.

Lincoln, Neb., May 6.—The immov able body and the irresistible force met in collision in Lincoln, Friday, and as a result there wiU be two rcf erendums on the direct primary laws. One is backed by the farmers' or ganizations and is against section 1, which recreates the state nominating convention for the seven state offi cers aside from governor. The other is led by C. W. Bryan and is largely a democratic protest against the whole law. The farmers have already started theirs, and Bryan is organizing his The farmers don't want the two pro gressive parts of the new law thrown into the discard. One is an official recognition of the woman voter by giving her half the party county com mittees. The other provides for elec tion by direct vote of the delegates to the county convention, who, from among their own number, select the delegates to the state convention. Bryan says the women can get rep resentation, if they want It, under the present law, and he thinks Arthur Mullen could build an irresistible con trol of democratic state conventions by using the direct election of delegates plan, as nobody, unless backed by a machine would file for and fight for an election as delegate. The result will be, In the opinion ot political experts, to defeat the refer endum, if both referendums get the necessary 23.000 votes! They will go on the ballot as separate propositions. Supporters of the convention system will cast a vote against each, while supporters of the direct primary will divide their vote between the two propositions. THE LANGUAGE LAW 18 CAREFULLY DISSECTED Lincoln, Neb., May 6.—Attorney Gen eral Davie has given to the public a lengthy statement setting forth his views upon the foreign language laws passed at the last session of the leg islature. He has been besieged with letters asking for an Interpretation thereof. He says that there is noth ing in either of the two laws that will prevent a mother or father In the home Reaching their children any foreign jlanguage they desire or deem neces sary, and that neither law prohibits the holding of Sunday schools in a foreign tongue. Mr. Davis says that the evident in tent of the legislature was to provide that no subject In any school, public, private, denominational or pu roc lira 1 shall be taught in a foreign tongue be low the ninth grade; that in the Amerlcunlz&tion program of which these were a part, the object was to see that instruction in secular sub jects in the formative years shall be In English only. Not because it was de sirable or a part of this program, but because it was felt it would work an extreme hardship and interfere with religious instruction, it is provided that the latter may be given whenever desired except that it must not be a part of the school work. Thus, says the attorney general, it is proper un der this law to hold out of hours dai ses or Saturday classes in religious in struction. bui these must be a fair equivalent for a Sunday school. Ho Issues a warning if this is taken as a dodge or subterfuge to teach a for eign tongue to the children, prosecu tions will follow and no leniency will be shown. The utiorney general says that mere ly calling it a religious school of In struction will not protect those who use this as a screen for the continu ation of unAmeriran practices. When* there Is a fair and honest compliance with the laws there will he no inter ference. The side, intent oi the legis lature was to prevent the teaching of foreign languages in grade schools, and the fact that the law says that "no person as a teacher shall teach." etc.. Is a clear intent to permit mo thers to teach their children in a for eign tongue at home. Otherwise the law would he unconstitutional. Tho only proviso is that such teaching be not in a regular school. . > ._ HE HOARDED WHEAT BUT BUYS VICTORY BONDS Kearney, Neb..

Neb., May 3.—Henator Hitchcock has advised interested Lin coln people t hut I he advocate general of the nnjjy- lias promised executive clemency in The ease of Louis Gibson of Ansley, Neb., sentenced to two years imprisonment in army barracks in France for sleeping on sentry -poet It was alleged that Gibson « reached more or less secretly by which Great Britain will ajd France against German aggres sion. This agreement comes In lieu of an Interallied army which France de sired as a guarantee of the strength of the League of Nations to replace even interallied general staff which France would substitute for supremacy of superstate. This alliance will be an nounced by President Wilson In a speech In the near future—a speech In which he will repeat sentiments ex pressed by French chamber of deputies when he declared France is the out post of civilisation and deserves the support of mankind. The agreement reached by the council of four has not been put on paper and possibly never has been written, but It will be a pol icy like the Monroe doctrine and will probably be known as the Wilson doc trine. It satisfies Francs. England has a progressive disarmament pro gram and America has the Monroe doctrine fairly stated and when Italy hears the final word about the Adriatic she will be satisfied also. So next week the Germans will come to hear their fate. That being settled there are two guesses as to the date of the final peace. If it is a military peace it will be signed before May 10, ii It Is a nego tiated peace It may not be signed until midsummer and curiously enough France Is supporting the United States in demanding that Germany be given time to read and digest and possibly discuss the peace. To do that will re quire at least five weeks. The docu ment contains 160,000 words divided in to seven parts: League of Nations, labor chart control, international opin ion on trade economics, which section alone- is longer t*i*n the treaty of Vienna, control of Africa, Pacific Isl ands, north and south pole, Asia Minor and boundaries of all eastern Europe and finally ports, waterways and rail roads. It will tcite at least one month for German experts on boundaries to translate the boundaries section and trace on maps its demands. If the Germans are given opportunity even to make a rough guess wliat they are signing in an economic clause treaty, it will require ot least a month. Similar ly the Germans will need three weeks to make out what they are promising in ports, railways and waterways. This estimate makes no provision for discussion, and there Is no point in giving Germany time to read and digest the treaty If she does not have time to discuss it. It is an easy guess if Ger many is to be pampered by civil treat ment we ehall have no peace until mid summer. And It must be remembered that in all these discussions nothing is said about Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. America Is not at war with the latter two, and there Is evidence In Paris that Austria is being lured out of German alliance by the promise of better terms than are offered Ger many. At least the Austrians are not to be asked to step up and lick the spoon with Germany. in the meantime In eastern Europe, from Budapest to Archangel, respon sible rulers, such os they may be, are laughing uproarously at Paris—the statesmen who are solemnly sitting about green tables figuring out boun daries, spheres of influence and eco nomic restrictions when the new order in the world is establishing itself, con cerned only with giving the laborer his share of the profits with no regard to other matters. Lenine is heading the laughter, and during the week his do main is finding foothold in India and Egypt. His birthday was celebrated in Rome under machine guns on foun tains, the Spanish ministry is falling. King Albert slid down from the sky telling the peace conference that Brus sels could hold out against bolshevism less than a month longer, liberal so cialists are whittling Lloyd George’s parliamentary majority daily, and Easter Sunday French socialists met to decide how best to show their scorn for the peace conference—whether by gen eral strike or by an attempt at revolu tion. Southern Germany is torn by bol shevism, and northern Germany is waiting to hear the peace terms before Istting go. WUson’s revolutionary talk during December has profited him nothing. He has piped the European masses into a mountain which looks dangerously like a volcano. And this because while he talked with the ardor of a revolutionist, he has acted with chilly discretion. So Lenine and his crowd are making eastern Europe cackle with their laughter at the Paris show. Certainly if peace does not come by mid summer it will be a peace of anarchy.

Naturally out of this social inter course will spring valuable lessons In courtesy, generosity and patience. Al ways be fair In settling disputes among children. Do not favor your own child’s story entirely, Jor though he may never have told an untruth there Is always the possibility of a sliding from grace. Sometimes It is very difficult to get a correct account from excited children. If the quarrel is over a doit or a train of cars and you cannot discover who Is In the right, take away the toy, remarking quietly that If they can't play nicely with it they will have to do without U I do not think that there Is a bet ter opportunity than in play to teach lesson* in honesty; play is so vital a part of child life and the child takes his play so seriously. In teaching a child to be honest In word and action the parents first, must be honest In nil their dealings with the child. Never make a promise that you can not keep or that you do not intend to keep For the same reason never threaten. "Son if you do that again. I'll spank you,” for If he does it again vcm will have to spank him or in a short time he will come to laugh at ivour authority. ' D«> not confuse the workings of an 'Imaginative brain as evidence of un Itruthfulness, but enter into the spirit I of the ‘'make-believe.'’ In the case of the little tot who says.

She was kneeling on a chair looking out, so I came at once to the window, not expecting to see a soo in the yard, but wondering what there was to make her imagine such things. There was nothing at all In sight but grass and flowers, so after thinking it over for a second I said in reply, “Oh yes, I see some monkeys, too—just make-believe, like yours.” She looked up at roe and laughed delightedly and at once we were entered upon a new game. . Cheerful obedience is another les son to be learned from play. A child should not cry or fuss when mother says, "Time to put up your toys,” or “Come to me, dear, I want to dress you.” The average parents demand obedience, but usually exercise their authority only at such times as dis obedience means Inconvenience to the parents themselves, it is the teach ing of constant obedience which re quires the greatest patience and tact in all child-training. You cannot lot ! your vigilance flag for one moment, j nor can you allow an offence to pass | unnoticed. I This brings up the question of pun ■ ishments. T have said that children are naturally sociable. An effective fhrm of punishment for most 'of fenses. therefore, is Isolation from the rest of the family, and no reinstating i to favor until pardon has been asked and given. Make your punishment fit the offense. Children are so active that to make them sit still on a chair alone is a sufficient punishment for rudeness, whining and the like.

Early Seeding and Wheat Has Long Been Above Ground in the Land of Opportunity. The greatest optimism prevails* throughout every district In Western Canada. From the eastern boundary ^ of Manitoba to the slopes of the Rocky Mountains the farmers have been busy for three weeks tn seeding operations Lost foil, even for Western Canada, was an exceptional one. Threshing was completed at an early date and the amount of fall plowing made ready for crop from fifteen to twenty-five per tent more acreage than in any year in the brief history of the country. There fore there was ready for seeding this spring an acreage away beyond miy ‘hing ever before experienced in that pountry. On April 20 Calgary (Alta.) report rd that In south country points there was a notable spirit of optimism imongst the farmers there. Moisture »nd weather conditions were good, while land tn most places was in the >est possible condition. More tractor* were being put into operation than in tny previous year. In some parts of t lie south country, however, there was a marked shortage of labor, but in the consideration of the country as • whole the labor outlook was brigiit. Seeding operations were well under way In every part “Of Western Canada by the fifteenth of April. The practice- - , ■ of the farmers in that country 1s t* commence as soon as the frost ts ont of the ground enough to allow the few tnch seed bed to be worked up well. Beneath this the ground may still be frozen, but from this frost the young and tender wheat roots get the mois ture at first so necessary to Its exist ence. The warm days of spring and the long hours of sunlight that 3re ushered Id with it thaw the frost oot day by day / and pay to the growing plant the moisture as It is heeded. Nature’s way of producing moisture to the young wheat plant Is one of the chief reasons why Western Canada has become world famous as a wheat-pro ducing country. What may be said of wheat can as truly be said of oats and barley, and yes, in fact, corn, too. Rapid and strong growth is stim ulated in this manner. Heavy spring rains usually occur after seeding i* over und the grain well above ground. Already a report has been received, ^ dated April 20, that a fanner near Ca brl, Saskatchewan, had 180 acres of wheat showing above the ground.

Western Canada has this spring sbipped ten tliousaad bushels of Mar quis wheat, the variety that holds most of the world’s championships, to Australia, where It Is to be tried out. Seventy-five thousand bushels of the wiroe variety has been sent to Franco to be used for seed. — The wheat lands of Western Canada are probably the most undervalued of any on the continent.
