THE OMAHA BEE: MONDAY, JULY 31. 1922. Women s Exhibit for 'No More War' Not Comins Here a mm mm Appeals to Mould mime Opinion Mtde by Regional Director and Officer! of League. The "No More War" exhibit, tour ing the country, cannot be bookc for Omaha or Nebraska, according to Mri. H. J. Bailey of the local League of Women Voters, which sponsors the showing. Appeal aimed to create public opinion for "no more war" are made y Mrs. C. H. Dietrich of Hatting, i ' jfional director, and Mrs. L. C Kyan f Grand Island. Hate presi dent of the League of Women Vot "How Much We Want It.' Said Mm. Dietrich: "There it no doubt whatever that thinking people everywhere want 'no more war' unless possibly we must except the very few who themselves profit financially by wars, without personal suffering. The question then is, not what we want, but how much we want it. John Fiske said: 'The cessation of warfare is the so cial and political end toward which the entire creation moves. How rap idly shall it move politically in our generation? Since the days of the Oarden of Eden, no good has been attained without effort. Am I, are you willing to make the same amount of effort jto prevent war as to win one? A unified public opinion, persist ently expressed, can accomplish any reform. Must Be Articulate. Mrs. Ryan's statement follows: "The truism fhat public opinion is the greatest potential force affecting popular government is Deing recog mzed more ana more, ruonc op" ion must be made articulate, however, or its effect is nothing. When a government authorizes its army offi cers to spread propaganda in support of a militaristic policy under the guise of preparedness, public opinion must b expressed loud enough for governments to heed. The Confer ence for Limitation of Armament at Washington latt winter brought credit to the heads of this govern . ment and satisfaction to its citizens. We believe there should be no lag ging; that steps taken there should be advanced and that public opinion should be vigorously proclaimed against any effort on the part of those whose profession is armament to mould sentiment for armament in stead of world peace and "No More War." A Definite Flan. Miss May Gund, state secretary, also issued a statement as follows: Ths National Lfafus of Woman Voter has a deflnlta "No Mora War" plan. It resolved at Ha recent convention that ths aim of International peace effort ahould he to outlaw war, to abolish It as a legal lird inatltutlon, Inatead of to regulate It, and, to thl end, a code of International law, based upon equity ana justice Be tween nations, should be erected, by which . the waging of war be made a crime d"flned and punishable under the term of the code. Further, the National Learua of Women Voters asks every congressional candidate: "Are you In favor of having tha United Tilates irks xne inmau.. in on-nn.rntfon to lir.Vent War? The Washington conference waa brought .!,.. (hrnnih the initial effort of the National League of Worqen Voters. That (vnirertlire accomnlisnea less man was expected of it. but women are not discouraged. It was only a step In i the i di rection of world peace. So the Nations! l.e.gue of Women Voters, the Women Christian Temperance union, and other organization of women, will work until they prove that ths outlawing of war I the one economical way -- international relation. My Marriage Problems Adela Garrison's New Phase of "REVELATIONS OF A WIFE" (Copyriisl lilt) What Asked Harry Underwood Madge to TtU Him. I shall not soon forget the hour in which I drove Harry Underwood from the big Smythe-Hopkins house at Southampton, where he had been masquerading as Don Ramon AI mirei, to Greenport by way of the Shelter Island ferries. In one respect, at least, it was like escorting the ghost of some one I had known. I he voice and manner were the unforgettable ones of Har ry Underwood, but they came from beneath heavy snow-white mustachios and Van Dyke heard, which not only thoroughly difcnied him, but added N years to his age. hen I had known him his hair, also, had hren black, with jmt enough gray sprin kled through it to nuke a most strik ing frame for his ruddy fare. Now his hair was all white, and to all ap pearances he was an .old man, still handsome, still vigorous, but unde niably old. "Pipe- the Manner." Disconcerting also was the kaleidO' scopic manner in which he changed from one personality to. another, From the time he had taken the seat beside me in the car, up to the mo ment we entered the Smythe-nop' kins grounds, even through the uiv expected encounter with Dr. Petitt, he had beeu the old, irresponsible, rough, slangy Harry Underwood, But at the entrance to the home where he had been entertained he was transformed on the instant into the courtly dignitary whom he was im personating. Yet he could not re sist the impish impulse to excite r laughter by muttering out of the cor- ., . , . ner of nis mourn as me correct English butler appeared at his sum mons: Pine the- manner. Ain't he lust the sweetest?" I did not hear the tale he told the butler as an excuse for getting his belongings out of the house. That it was a convincing story, and aiso that he had distributed convincing largesse I deduced from the obse quious bustle which prevaded the house. And it was in surprisingly short time that two of the butler's helpers appeared and deposited the steamer that your story to the mythe-non-kins family should agree with the trunk in the tonneau of mv car. and the imposing- butler him self escorted the supposed Don Ra mon to a seat beside me and directed the disposal of his smart handlug- gage in the spaces around tne tuink. v It was not until we had left the grounds that the man at my side poke : "I vour Well-known Puritan con science in its usual well-oiled condi tion, or could it be a bit rusty?" "Why?" I asked noncommittally. "Because it is quite necessary talc I just told the butler Harry Underwood's Story, 'I do not see that my conscience has anythftiff to do with it,' I re turned. "If you relate to me what you said to the butler I have no right to question its truth." He laughed lightly. "iou wont o back on the re' turns, ch? That's a good little girl, You re improving under the Dicky bird's tutelage. You'll be a petticoat ed little Machiavelli in time." There was an intangible some thins in his voice that betrayed subtle disappointment, and 1 guess ed thai with the inconsistency of his type of masculine soul, he would have orrfrrred me to exlnmt what now men u.ed to dub by "buckram prin ciples," even at the cost of intcrfcr inor with his olans. I made ho answer to his sally, for I felt a sudden shamefaced couvic tion that he had jestingly spoken the truth, and that I had lost in part the rigid ideals of my youth. But in loyalty I would not admit even to myself that association with my husband's tenets had anything to do with the change. There was nothing far me ta da but await Mr. Under wood's farther speech, and this did not come until we were out on tne streets of Southampton, and had turned into the delightful winding unnd mad leading to Sag Harbor, T tnlrl hi nibs there all about the accident." he began, "and gave him your messages. Then I explained mv nresence bv saving that I had hurl a heart attack, and that you had broueht me to a physician on tne way here. 1 11 say you Drougnt me to a doctor all right. I don't know of a better nerve tonic than the sight of dear old Herbie Pettit was. And his treatment of me was sure invig orating. "My get-away," he went on, "I ex plained by saying that I unexpected ly had met a man from South Amer ica who had given me information which called for my instant depar ture to New York for an indefinite period. And everv word of that's the gospel truth. Your father once stayed in bouth America, and ne certainly gave me an earfull requiring my presence in New York long enough to get a train out of it. So you won't have to soil your pretty lips with anything- that isn't the truth. Tell em I said I d write to tnem as soon as I got into New York. Now, enough ot themr he addei abruptly. "I've got more important things to say to you. I want you to refresh your memory, and to tell me every little thing you know about Grace Draper's devilment last year. Your father didn't have time to spill it, but he said he was sure you would tell me the whole cursed story. Early Plowing Increases Yield, Says County Agent Oete Neb. One of the topics be ing discussed by Saline county farm ers is the relative merits ui cnjr "u lit rtlnwino. According to the county agricultural agent, as a rule the early plowing arguments wiu, since , early deep plowing in July, saves the moisture a.nd makes soil conditions more favorable for the manufacturing and storing of plant foods for the coming crop. He says such plowing gives the soil plenty of time to settle into a cainpau reu bed. This, he states, causes early .Termination of seed wheat and re tu in miiek start and immediate According . to the Southwest Wheat Improvement association, it has been repeatedly demonstrated rr!f Tniv nlnwinir will increase the yield from two to seven bushels per acre over the same kind of plow ing done in September. "Weather Exposure Cause of Many Binder Troubles Lincoln, Neb. A large per cent of binder troubles come from de preciation of the machine while it is standing-in the field, experts in the extension service of the University of Nebraska Agricultural, college de clare. The knotter mechanism of the binder, they say, is a compli cated and delicate piece of machinery and should not be exposed to the weather. If the machine must be left in the field for a time, it is good policv to cover, the knotter part with a heaw coating of axle grease and tie an "old piece of canvas over the binder head. Binder canvases will not stand any particular amount of exposure and should be removed as soon as the machine is stopped, ac cording to the experts.

Poultry Culling Meet ' Conducted at Geneva Geneva, Neb., July 30. County Extension Agent Lee W. Thompson reports that Charles T. Cornman, poultry specialist of the state uni versity extension service, conducted two poultry meetings and culling demonstrations in the county this week. One was at the farm of Robert Hastings and the other at the George Baugh farm. In spite of the busy season, 22 persons were in at tendance at each meeting.

Plowing Up Barnyards for Hog Pasture Advocated Lincoln, Neb. flog raisers may accomplish two desirable results by plowing up the barn lots at least ence a yean say specialists of the United States Department of Agri culture. In the first Dface, hogs need good succulent pastures as much of the time as possible, and in the sec end place they need protection against internal parasites, such as roundworms, the eggs of which are to be found in sous. By turning over the soil in lots, elimination of the pests are possible and a crop of forage makes it a profitable opera' tion. In - addition to providing i cheap protein feed, pasture Crops aid as a laxative and require the hogs to take a certain amount of exer cise which is necessary to breeding animals and growing pigs.

A campaign against noxious weftds has been started in the county, prompted by the alarming increase of weeds along the roadways- and on the waste areas on the farms. "We must not become unduly alarmed about the new weeds," the farm bureau director states. '"What we should be more alarmed about is the rapid spread of some of the well known weeds, such as the Canada thistle, dock, wild carrot, wild let tuce, mormon weed and the many others. The roadsides and fences should be mowed." When you live ofi a bluff you are in danger of a fall.

Dei Moines. Is, July JO. In the olden days it used to be a danger out form of compliment to tell a woman the looked as though she was "just off the farm." Somehow the phrase seemed to carry a picture of suiibonnets, calico wrappers, cot ton stockings, "dutchy" hats, and thick-soled shoes. But modes of dress on the farm change as well as methods of crop cultivation, and at the present time, under the tutoring of clothes and millinery experts, farm fashions have reached the point where the epithet, "just off the farm," is just another way of saying, "snappy dresser."
