Dune*.
Beneath tho moon UMV seem another
sea
With purple shadows moving on theit
breast;
Or like the pale gold sky's Immensity
When sunset tides are ebbing In the
West;
The little mounds with their sharp rise
and dip
Are crested waves; and every dead
pine tree
Is but the broken mast of some bold
ship
The wind betrayed with his old treach
ery.
But O some morning when the air Is
sweet
And the cool dew Is clinging every
where,
And winds are still, who has not felt
the spell
Of those old dunes that move beneath
your fect
Those yellow hills that beckon, lurs
and stare—
Filled with old secrets that they never
tell?
—John R. Moreland In Contemporary
Verse.
FRANCE RATIFIES.
THAT France has at last rati
fied the Washington naval and
Pacific treaties is a matter for re
joicing. For a long time there were
grounds for doubt that she would
ever ratify, and when finally she
decided to take the step she did so
In a manner far from gracious. A
considerable body of French opinion
holds that the treaty limiting naval
armament unjustly penalizes France
by fixing the strength of her navy
at its post-war weakness. French
pride, Inflated perhaps by hopes of
Imperialism born of victory in the
World war, balked at the thought of
i abandoning sea supremacy to Ameri
ca, Britain, and‘Japan.
Although the naval treaty has
about it more of the spectacular,
yet the four-power pact, virtually In
suring peace In the Pacific, Is prob
ably of greater moment. In fact,
Without the four-power agreement It
Is doubtful if the naval treaty could
be made operative. Elihu Root thus
explains the Importance of the Pa
cine compact:
I doubt if any formal treaty ev
er accomplished so much by do
ing so little. It provided that we
should all respect rights, which
we were bound to do already,
and that if controversy arose a
bout the Pacific islands (it was
quite immaterial about what is
lands) the parties should get to
gether and talk it over, which Is
the very thing they were then do
ing in Washington. The consent
of the Senate was not necessary
to Buch an agreement. • • • It
was important, however, that the
Senate should give its approval in
this case because the Instrument
•was a formal certificate to all the
people of Japan and all the peo
ple of the United States and all
' the civilized powers that the par
ties to the treaty had abandoned
their mutual distrust and had
ceased to thtnk about war with
each other and had resumed re
lations of genuine friendship.
That certificate and the truth
that it represents Incidentally
made possible the abandonment
of thf: Anglo-Japanese alliance
and made possible the treaty for
the limitation of naval arma
ments and dispelled one war
cloud upon the horizon of a trou
bled world.
It must be remembered that t'ue
Washington conference formulated
five treaties, all of them more or less
interdependent, that is to say, taken
together they formed one well art*
ulated program. France has yet 1 '
ratify three of these treaties, two of
them dealing with Chinese affairs
and one with gas and submarine
warfare. Since the Chinese treaties
were designed to stabilize conditions
In China and to put bounds upon
foreign exploitation, it Is particular
ly unfortunate that French delay
should hold them up at this Juncture
when Cnina Is torn with Internal dis
sension.
Ths Rid* . .
The endless trail winds over the plain,
The smell of sage brush after rain,
A sheep campfire on the mountain side
A starry night, and 1 ride, and ride.
Twlrdng romal, with stinging rap,
Straining cinch, and latlgo strap,
Squeak of aaddle, and clank of spurs,
Out of the brush the sage hen whirs.
PYesh on the cheeks the wind's wild
rush,
A snake that glides away In the

Far in the hills the wailing notes.
Singing the woes of the gray coyotes.
A desert night, and the nameless

That the wind and thudding hoofbeat

Enter my heart, and that silent land

visions
11 ' “ •
Randolph, Neb., July (Special)
•—What appears to be a badly tangled
divorce case was divulged here today
by Kimball Smith, a farmer living
near here, whose wife was last week
granted a divorce in district court on
the charge of cruelty. R appears
that after their separation Smith
spent some time in Boyd county, be
coming a citizen or that county.
While there he asked for and was
granted a decree of divorce from his
wife on grounds of inhuman treat
ment.
A counter charge filed by his wife
was passed upon in district court
last week, Mrs. Smith being given a
divorce, $1,500 alimony and her maid
en name of Miss Anna Allar.
It is possible that the case will be
tired over again to straighten this
tangle.

EGG CANDLING IS
TO CAUSE TROUBLE
New Nebraska Law Makes
That Demand on All Re.
tailers—Peddler And
Merchants
Lincoln, Neb., July (Special)—
Rules and regulations necessary for
the proper enforcement of the new
egg candling law which goes into ef
fect have been prepared by Secre
tary Shumway of the state depart
ment of Agriculture.
The law Is likely to cause trouble
for the reason that It appears to re
quire every one who buys eggs for
re-sale to candle them. This will
compel every retail merchant who
buys eggs for re-sale, as well a" ev
ery huckster to do this. The huckster
business is of large volume In the
state.
The bill which crystalized into a
law was introduced and championed
by Senator Gumb of Dodge and Sen
ator McGowan of Madison, on be
half of big dealers, whom they said
desired it. The bill contained a ti
tle which prohibited the sale of bad
eggs , but the body did not contain
anything in the nature of prohibi
tion. It merely defined the various
kinds of bad eggs which are declared
to be unfit for human food.

Wichita Conference Considers
“Sellers Strike” and Re
duced Acreage as Remedies
for Price Crisis.
. .Wichita, Kansas, July 16—A ray
of hope in the present unfavorable
condition of the Kansas wheat grow
er was furnished Monday by Secre
tary J. C. Mohler of the state board
of agriculture, who declared in an
address at the five states wheat con
ference, which opened here Monday,
that already there is a noticeable
very marked tendency towards di
versified production in Kansas.
Secretary Mohler presented facts
and figures from which he drew the
conclusion that the main trouble
of the wheat grower is over-produc
tion. Decrease in wheat acreage
must follow he reported. He dis
couraged any idea that legislation
can solve the farmers’ troubles.
Recommends Independence.
"The most effective and direct
remedy lies in the management of
the farm itself,” he said. "It seems
clear that the farmers’ greatest
problem is to help himself. And this
can best be done through diversi
fication. It is the farmers’ independ
ent method.
The suggestion of Gov. Jonathan
Davis, of Kansas, that the farmers
urge a "seller’s strike” was consid
ered by the delegates.
Farm clubs, granges, co-operative
associations and other farm organi
zations of Kansas, Texas Oklahoma,
Nebraska and Colorado, wrere repre
sented at the meeting. The confei
ence met on call of John A White
hurst, secretary of the Oklahoma
board of agriculture. .
Would Reduce Acreage.
Whitehurst believes the way to
solve the wheat problem is entirely
through control of production. He
said:
Heretofore when prices were low,
farmers sought to make up their
losses by an increase In aceage the
following year. This practice has
overloaded the markets of the world
and reduced the production per acre,
as the result of improper cultivation
and poor quality of seed.”
Whitehurst urged:
1. Reduced acreage. *
2. Improved quality of grain.
3. Intensive cultivation to pro
duce a greater yield per aere.
"In many cases wheat growers are
noC tifcie to make enough off iheir
crop at present prices to pay taxes,”
WhiNshuiat said.
