tribute to the mothers. In the fol
lowing editorial entry he advocates a
greater participation in public affairs
y tne mothers:
If a woman runs for office in any
of the elections, either city, state or
national, in this great country of
ours, you will often hear the fol
lowing remark: "Why doesn't she
get back home where she belongs
that's a woman's place. And yet,
If the truth be stated, the one per
son who is most qualified for the
work of making a country's laws
, is none other than "mother."
Mothers should also be largely
represented on every committee
that discusses industrial disputes;
they also should figure in large
numbers on most juries.
A mother knows better than
father or son what is the matter
with both of them. This helps her
to fathom the truth behind the ac
tion of any other mother's hus
band or sons. You can't fool
mother. She understands father's
every whim, she understands the
boy better than the father does.
Politicians the world over are try
ing a league of nations and num
bers of prominent men attended '
conferences to insure peace in the
world. Let them try a "League
of Mothers." The power of the
mother is untried at present.
The Footpad Relents.
A young man was held up by a
footpad, who took all the money
he had, and was about to take his
watch. "Stop." said the young
man; have you ever had a mother?
k My mother gave me that watch."
"You cut that out," said the foot
pad, but he handed the young man
back his watch.
A merchant of Tekamah and a
minister were among the contestants
entering yesterday. A citizen of
Council Bluffs wrote against strikes,
a Central High school student advo
cated more public tennis courts and
basebafr diamonds and a resident of
South Omaha discussed neignoorii
ness m the city. Among the other
topics were "thrift and industry,
"better newspapers," 'automobile
evils," "youth and the good oTd days"
and the absorption of handicapped
men into industry. A preacher
flayed the suggestion of Judge Wap
pich for a whipping post.
James R. Lee, a student and sup
ply pastor at Murray, Neb., has en
tered an editorial on "Democracy
and' Self-Control," which may be
taken as a model both for brevity
,nd thought. It reads as follows:
- Democracy is not a thing accom
plished once- for all It is strife.
There are many things that need
to be guarded against continually.
Ohief of these is laxity in self-ton-
troL . . . .
Self-government must indeed be
"government of self or it will
quickly cease to exist. The nation
whose individual citizens cannot
control themselves must resort to
some other form of rule.
As long as 51 per cent of the
people remain somewhere within
calling distance of the golden rule,
popular government will be able to
stand. When a majority of the
people abandon self-control and
seek only to accomplish their own
selfish ends, democracy must give
way or the nation will destroy
has said that the sad-
dest thing in the world is the spec
tacle of a people whose national
soul is decayed. Nothing will de
stroy the soul more quickly than
..i.Wa. If. then, the spirit of
the nation depends upon the spirit
of the individual citizens, it be
hooves each one to look beyond
iis own personal profit and pleas
ure to the good of all. Self-control,
thou art an admirable thing
and much to be desired in America!

In the office of the state executive
are stacks of letters received frorrTall
parts of the United States congratu
lating: Mr. McKelvie for bringing to
the attention of the country the true
story of ' Nebraska's growth and

result of the governor's campaign to
present a quarterly review ot busi

It was a trifle over a year ago that
these reviews first made their ap

bankrupt and had done their best to
place the state in a bad light before
the nation, according to the gov

effect of these damaging reports, the
governor conceived the idea of issu

reports concerning the state. These

Letters Mailed to Farm Bu
reau Members Warning of
Appearance of Dreaded
Chinch Bug.
Des Moines. Is.. July 16. Farm
ers are organizing in a fight against
one of the worst insect pests whicn
has appeared in the state this year,
the chmch bug, according to reports
from various farm bureaus received
by R. S. Derrick, secretary of the
State Horticultural society.
Special letters are being mailed to
larm bureau members by their coun
ty agents ncscribing the ravages of
the pests and warning tarmers t
watch out for its appearance and be
gin sDravinsr at once.
The chinch bug, according to the
bulletin, is. to be found first in wheat
corp. rye. barley, cane and sudan
grass fields. During the fall months
the adult bug harbors in some rufo
bish such as cornstalks, grass stub
ble or fence rows. In the spring
they come from their winter quar
ters, and flying to fields of the above
mentioned grains, lay their eggs.
When the eggs are hatched the small
-hug is red and about the size of an
ordinary pin head. These bugs will
grow into a bug with wings, but they
do not develop a wing strong enough
for flight until August. They mi
grate from field to field during the
developing periad traveling on the
ground. I his method makes it easy
to keep them from entering an ad
joining field by the use of what is
known as a tar line or creosote din
or any other tar smelling oil.
A spray formula which has proven
successful in corn has been prepared
by the Lee county farm bureau. It
is as follows:
One gallon of light lubricating oil.
Nineteen and one-half aoounds of
urandpa s tar soap.
rour-tifths pound of Black Leaf 40.
The three above ingredients are to
be used ior every 100 gallons of
water . The soao should be dis
solved in warm water but not boiled.
1 wo-thirds of the soap liquid should
be mixed with the lubricating nil.
Take the rest of the 'soap and plafc
it in the, water in which the mixture
is to be used and add the Black Leaf
40, and the oil-soap mixture and stir
tnoroughly.

HOW YOU CAN KEEP COOL.
Drink no alcoholic beverages o
any sort. -In
the first place, drinking alto
holic beverages sends an excessive
amount of blood to the skin. The
skin is about the only tissue in the
body that can feel heat. The blood
is hot. Therefore, drinking alcoholic
beverages makes you feel hotter
than you are.
L Comparing the summer of 1921
with that of 1916, v.e find that the
former was much the hotter. On
the other hand, the death from heat
in Chicago during 1921 were 26 as
compared with 5.15 in 1916,
Most cases of sunstroke were
cases of beerstroke, as this column
has contended for years.
In the second place, eat- tightly.
Digesting food, and especially di
gesting meat, makes heat, as Lusk
has shown.
A considerable Dart of the calory
requirements, as figured by the"Shys-
lologists, are taken tor the purpose
of furnishing heat.
When the temoerature SO or
over, the question is not how much
heat can the body make, but how
little.
Therefore, decrease the food in
take by so many calories as are re
quired for the maintenance of body
heat or somewhere near tnereto.
In the third olace dress lightly.
The fundamental reason for the
wearinor nf clothes is to lessen the
rate at which the body throws off
heat. Of course there are secondary
reasons for wearing clothes, such as
fashion, the wiles of dressmakers,
rivalrv. tnvV. false nride. sex attrac
tion, the aesthetic sense, tne love oi
beauty, and so on ad infinitum, but
the basic reason is to keep "het up.'
Therefore, m extreme hat weatner.
the fewer the better, so long as you
keep out of the police court.
White is the best coior. motion
is tne Desi laDnc. mc
should be light and the weave as
loose as possible. No linings.
Looseness is a virtue when, it
comes to bands in hot weather.
t . hat hrim. loose collars, loose
cuffe, loose belts, loose garters, and
no corsets. ...
A man knows what he, is aDout
when he .proceeds to sweat tne
starch out of stiff collars and cuffs.
Galluses are cooler than belts, ana
pinned up socks are cooler than
using garters.
In 1871 Layard wrote in naiun a
magazine: as tne resuu oi cv'
ences in South Africa, it is found
that the use of a mosquito bar makes
a difference of 8 degrees between
the temperature of the air before
and behind that obstruction.
When it is safe to do so, stay
where an unobstructed breeze can
reach you. . .
Of course, sometimes you must
o-et hehinrl mosauito bars to be pro
tected from mosquitoes, and to es
cape malaria, but you pay for your
safety with some discomfort.
Likewise copper window screen
ing may be an evil, from the stand
point of the comfort proposition, al
beit a necessary or advantageous
nFor the same reason, a house set jn
ih nnen cets more breeze and, there
fore, may be cooler than one set
among dense trees. On a very hot
day a dense wodd may be very hot
because of . the lack of breeze. A
house set under one or two good,
larce trees, but otherwise m the
open, is liable to be cool and healthy.
The ooen sunlight is many degrees
hotter than the shade. There is gam, i
il,rfnrp - frnra usinir an umbrella,
or walking on the shady side of the
street. ' ,
sin all forms of exertion, and
especially physical exertion, manu
facture heat, ana getting im ui
nlits heat is the ereat problem, keep
ing quiet promotes comfort.

Anrlfina v. don't talk heat. JS-eep
away from thermometers. Pay no at
tention to weather reports and dis
believe stories about death from heat
prostration, except the one at the top
of this column.
You can think yourselt hot.
It's Fashionable, Anyway.
N. writes: "Is a person with curly
hair considered born with a deformi-
"The question arose in the family
that a person with curly (.natural;
hair is a deformed person." ,
REPLY.
Curly hair is inherited The in
heritance lawss as to curly hair are
establisher.
What one social group calls a de
formity, another group might think
all right. '
But no social group regards curly
hair a deformity.
Thirty Years of Enemas.
H. F. writes: "Several times lately
you have referred to the enema habit
as a bad one, and I wish you would
give us a column some time soon
telling why you think it is 'bad.'
"I have a aunt who has taken daily
enemas for 30 years, and she is
brighter mentally and smarter phy
sically than the average women of
her age 78 doing most ot tne woric
for a family of five.
"Personally, I have taken them
daily for 14 years and never have
headaches, car sickness, or rheuma
tims, which were frequent bugbears
with me before taking enemas.
"Of course. I have tried the min
eral oils, but they nauseate me. Bran
gives me cramps, etc., so naturally
I am prejudiced i- favor of enemas."
REPLY.
The objection to the daily use of
enemas is that it begets the enema
habit, and that is a troublespme one.
Except that, I know of no objection
to enemas.

By FRANKLIN K. SPRACUE.
Omaha He Wife,
.Sew York, July 17. Ovilinued
buying of l.ihrrtv and gilt edged cor.
portion jUrs hat been one of the
outstanding developments of ricfiit
days. This renewal of activity in the
bond market, which has carried the
government issues to new high levels
since the dale of issue and which has
caused substantial advances in other
quarters of the investment nurkrt.
is linked up with a further easing in
money rales. While the call loan
market i by no means an accurate
index to conditions, still it dors give
evidence of the day-to-day floating
supply of funds and it was significant
that last week the rate on drmajid
loans dropped to the new low of the
year; 2J per cent.
Time ryouey, while showing no
recession in actual rates, was easier
toward the close of the week, since
accommodations were arranged in
some instances at a price which was
under the generally quoted figure.
Trend nf Money I-ower.

Hnth of the, factor a re subject lo
suuden rhsng". It hss been the record
of tb money market In normal times that
ine ratv on commercial paper anoweq
progressiva reauctioa towsra tns mid
year, with a rise in th last six mnmha
This hss been du to th fact that th
seasonal requirement for money sre
heaviest In th fan, when fund bsgsn
to flow from th larg centers to th
farm district la anticipation of th crop
movement.
Ther ar executions In all cases, and
It may b that th trend ot money will
continue to be downwsrd for some tlm
to com. To certain extant, however, the
course of money available for nvestment
purposes Is dependent upon th business
situation. While it la true that a fairly
substsntlsl degree of business rscovsry
hss tsken place, th demands of buslneas
upon money market hav not assumed
large proportions. However. If the Im-
firovement is to continue ther will be an
ncreaslng demand for funds In th eve
nues of commercial endeavor and this, In
th final analysis, cannot help but lighten
up conditions In the money market.
Jirltlsn Rate Drop.
Not only did th last week see a fur
ther essing of money at New York, but
the betterment In the world money market
was testified to by a lowering In th llrlt
ish bsnk rate to 3 per rent, a step which
ir.sy ultimately be followed by a reduction
In the rate at the Federal Reserve bsnk
at New Tork. There seems to bs no ra
son for aellevlng thst a reduction at
New Tork would tend to Increase specu
lation. This fear hss been expressed with
relation to every contemplated reduction
from a high level of 7 per cent, and thus
far no untoward circumstance have ac
companied the decline.
The foreign situation has undergone no
pronounced change In recent days. Ger
many has paid its reparations obllgstlon
and it appears thst the way now ha
been naved for a consideration of the pro
posal by Germany that a moratorium be
granted.
