■■ ■ ' t ——«— Federal Agents Launch Drive to j Check Smugglingj Redoubled Energy Put For ward to Stop Illegal Land ing of Liquor,*Narcotics and Merchandise. Washington, March 4.—Indications were given Rt the treasury that new effort had been started to check smuggling. Although official comment was with held. It appeared that redoubled en ergy was being put forward to curtail the illegal bringing into this country of liquor and narcotics, as well rs to strengthen the vigilance against smuggling of merchandise. Assistant Secretary Clifford left Washington for Jacksonville and! other Florida points for the purpose. 1 It was reported, of making a personal , inspection of the rum running and | smuggling problem generally along ' the coast line there. At the same | time it was learned that Chief Van Dorn of the customs intelligence serv- ! Ice. was making a long tour along the west coast, but information received from him has been withheld. It is known that for some time tile , ■treasury has been ^disturbed over the general problem of smuggling and officials have been casting about for1 means of abating the trouble. Their plans, however, have never been dis closed and the scope of the attempt to i lose the sea gates against illicit traf fic of all kinds is only delayed by the departure of Colonel Clifford and by Mr. Van Dorn’s trip. Attention was called also to the is suance of orders to the coast guard in the last two months, all of whlcn appeared to be designed to make that organization more effective against the smuggling of liquor. While the moves were primarily directed against rum runners, it was made known at ihe treasury that an eye was being kept on the other phases of the smuggling problem. Confidential advices received by the treasury seemed to indicate a revival on the part of smugglers to bring in merchandise and avoid the higlt tari’f duties.

March 4.—The formation of a commission to study systems of healing which have gained wide public recognition, for the purpose of de termining the elements of truth which may be in such teachings and practice was voted at a meeting of representa tive leaders of the various schools of medicine. Plans for the functioning of this commission, together with its person nel and financing, will be taken up at a meeting of the same group of physicians and educators early next week. “There has never yet been made any systematic and Impartial study, or even fair investigation of the claims of any of the minority schools of healing, under conditions which would prove to scientists or Intelligent laymen, their truth or fallacy," de clared Dr. David Strickland, presi dent of the Federation of State Medical Boards of the United States and chairman of the meeting. Fall Festival of Ak-Sar-Ben Advanced 2 Weeks Board of Governors Now Giv ing Attention to Cam paign to Get 6.000 Members. In order to avoid conflict with tho equinoctial period the board of gov ernors of the Knights of Ak Sar-Bea has advanced the fall festival dates approximately two weeks.

The electrical parade will be held Wednesday evening. October 3, the coronation bail Friday evening. October 5. The coronation ball came on a holiday in 1922. Pressure has been brought to bear on the gqsernors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to have them again locate the jubilee grounds down town. A decision as to Just where these grounds will be located has not yet been made. At present the board of governors and the secretary are giving their attention to the matter of this year's membership campaign. J. E. David son, chairman of the membership committee, says he will not be satis fied with less that 6.000 members of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben for 1923 and has asked the co-operation of every civic organization in the city In helping Ak Sar Ben secure mem bers. "It Is ridiculous,” says Mr David son, "for an organization like th? Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to go through a season with less than 6,000 mem bers with 40,000 men in Omaha to se lect from." Occupation in Ruhr Extended by French (I ontlniwsl From Paso One I per cent tax levied by the French for the Rhineland. Large quantities of flour are being held up.

Be cause this is an essential Industry' tho workers have not yet struck, but they threaten to quit work Sunday if the troops are not withdrawn. Following the refusal of the railway workers to carry on under French di rection. it is reported that the French may close down the lines except for necessary coal trains. There is an unconfirmed rumor that the French intend to proclaim the Rhineland a republic lrt the near fu ture. However, this can largely be discounted. Ministry Summoned. Chancellor Cuno’s ministry was hastily summoned into conference to day to consider the newest develop ments in the Ruhr and Rhineland war. following the occupation of three towns. Following the session it was an nounced that Chancellor Cuno will leave for Munich Sunday night as planned, and while there he will con fer with the Papal Nuncio, Paceli, and Archbishop Gaulsaber. It Is Interesting to recall that the papal nuncio made the peace move in 1917 which w-as started In Munch, and >hat Archbishop Gaulsaber was im portant In the maneuver. Otto Weils, president Of the socialist party, streaking at Dortmund de clared: "Every possibility for nego tiations must tie exploited. Th« with drawal from the Ruhr of the French troops is our goal, but It Is not an absolute essential to peace." ‘‘Mixed” Boxing Bout* Are Sought hy Omaha Negroes Lincoln.

Everybody on the farm agreed that Miatah Mule was growing better na tured. Even Farmer Green had to 1 admit that .Mistah Mule's behavior had improved. One day Johnnie Green's father wished to send his son to the village on an errand. "I’m going to let you drive the mule,” he told Johnnie. "We'll hiteh him to the light wagon. Here's a let ter to the storekeeper. He'll give you a part for the mowing machine. Hur ry right Back with it.” A few minutes later Mistah Mule trotted briskly out of the yard with Johnnio Green sitting very straight . on the wagon seat. Now, in spite of Iris long ears ail'd his odd tail, Mistah Mule had a cer tain style about him. For all he was JM But that stubborn fellow wouldn’t sti*>. ' lazy, when he chose to behave him self he moved his small, narrow feet in a smart w>ay. And when he trot ted he raised his litres quite high, in a fashio^ble manner. Moreover, he had a aleck black coat, which glis tened in the sunshine. Jbhlnie tlreen couldn't help feeling rather proud as Mistah Mule went down the road at a spanking trot. "We’lj be back home before father expects us." he thought. Boon Mistah Mule's feet were thumping over the great covered bridge that crossed the river. And 1 in a short time they began to climb the long hill that rose from the val ley. Beyond this hill lay the village. Mistah Mule fell into a walk. A slow walk it wag. The sun, heating down upon Johnr.le /Jreen's back, felt scorching hot. It heat down upon Mistah Mule's-hack too. And he be gan to think it would be foolish to climb that mile-long hill ahead of him, dragging the wagon and Johnnie Green behind him. His head dropped. His ears flopped back and forth with every step. And at last he moved so slowly that Johnnie Green spoke to him. “Get along, there!” he cried, draw ing the reins tighter. Mistah Mule stopped short. “Giddap! Giddap! Johnnie shouted. “My goodness! I hope he isn't going to balk. Go on. there!" And he slapped Mistah Mule with the reins. Mistah Mule laid back his ears, slowly turned his head, and stared at Johnnie Green. There was no doubt that he had balked. Johnnie didn’t know what to do His father was waiting for that part of the mowing machine. And Johnnie hadn’t even reached the village yet. He sat unhappily on the seat for a few minutes. And then he made up his rnind that he would do something. “I'm going to tie this old mule to a ;. ee and walk to the village afad back,’’ he decided. So he jumped out of the wagon and iried to lead Mistah Mule out of the road. But that stubborn fellow wouldn't stir. (Copyright. IJSJ.i Omaha Chamber of Commerce Prize Winners Announcer!
