Trip Was Huge Success
By PAUL GREER.
And tho best welcome of all was
tb.e welcome home. That could be
seen oil the faces of the Omaha
busines) men, who returned Satur
day night from their 2,000-mile trade
trip through Nebraska, Wyoming and
Colorado. Everywhere they had been,
and thvy had stopped at more than
100 towns to the west, they had been
greeted with open hearted hospital
ity. tiering. North Platte, Cozad,
.exington, Central City' and a num
her of other towns furnished larger
crowds, but none was quite so glad
to see the 10 car special train as
were the home folks.
On the business side, the trip was
highly successful. As Frank Myers,
one of the trade tourists said, "This
was a mighty good week. The Omaha
booster spirit was reciprocated ail
along the route.”
Beginning at Sargent, in Custer
county, Saturday morning, the return
trip was like a triumphal procession.
Sargent, a town of something over
1.000 population, is an example of the
thriving communities that dot the
map of Nebraska. Three cars of
dressed poultry, consigned direct to
New York, were in the siding. Last
week, three carloads of eggs were
shipped out. A tremendous amount
of milk and livestock also originates
here. The modern egg and poultry
storage plant of Frank A. Gustafson
was a revelation to the visitors.
Ijist Stops of Trip.
Other towns which received the
tourists Saturday were Comstock.
Arcadia. McAlpine, Loup City,
Schaupps, Ashton, Fnrwell, Midway
St. Paul, Chapman and Grand Is
land.
Many of the features of the trip
were recorded by the official photo
^^cirapher, Ernest Bihler, and In niov
pictures by C. F. Chenoweth. The
business side of the journey is in
dicated by the following Interviews
with some of the men on the train:
A. D. Kpeir. Iten BlsctJit company:
"It was pleasant to note the optimistic
feeling am mg the dealers visited.
Many have recently made improve
ments in their stores and buildings,
and a good many others are con
templating alterations. Orte thing
country merchants stiive to do is to
k'-ep up to date."
Trip Wonderful Success.
II. It. Pinkerton, Orchard A
Wilhelm company: "This 'Good will'
and promotion excursion through th*
wonderful productive regions of
Wyoming snd Nebraska has been a
wonderful success. Dealers are with
out exception optimistic, and while
stocks are low In many stores, the
recent bountiful rains have prompted
buying. Although little soliciting was
done on the trip, a great many orders
were recorded.”

Big Gain Shown
in High Schools
and Attendance
Number of Schools Inereases
367 Per Cent, Enrollment
315 Per Cent, in
13 Years.
Lincoln, Neb., May 27.—Large In
creases in the number of Nebraska
four-year high schools and the num
ber of pupils attending and grauting
from them are shown by a recent
survey of the accredited schools cov
ering a period of 15 years. Public .
four year high schools have increased
367 per cent. In 1906-1907, there
were 81 high schools, all of which
were accredited to the university; in
1921-1922 there were 384. The In
crease In school census In this period
was only 8 per cent.
The Increase in enrollment in the
grades was 93 per cent, while In the
high schools it was 315 per cent.
This means that the youth of Ne
braska is remaining in school more
years. Whereas pdpi Is formerly
dropped out of school In the early
grades, they are in rapidly increasing
ratio completing the work of the
eight grades and of the high school.
The increase in resident enrollment
in the high schools has been 375 per
nnt. while non-resident enrollment
has increased 584 i>er cent.. Nearly
one fourth of the pupils in the high
schools come from outside the local
districts. It Is evident that the boys
and girls front the rural schools and
front the villages are more ambitious
for an education than ate the youth
of the larger communities,
school graduates has been 387 per
The Increase In the number of high
edit, showing a wholesome relation
between the increase in enrollment
and the holding power of the school
for the completion of the entire
course. Much of this increase is
due to the establishment of new high
schools. In order to determine the
relative local Increase, a study was
made of changed conditions in 15
years In the SI schools accredited in
1906-1907.
The Increase |n enrollment In the
grades was 23 per cent; In the high
school. 123 per cent. The Increase in
resident pupils in the high schools
was 122 per rent; non resident. 142
per cent; and graduates, 140 per cent.

Turco-Greek Pact
Clears War Clouds
Over Near East
; Complete Agreement on Ques
tion of Reparations Reached
at Dramatic Session of
Lausanne Conference.
By AniodHted Prrtm.
j Lausanne, May 27.—Peace Instead
I of war In the near east, was the wel
come result of a dramatic session of
; the Lausanne conference held at
| Ouchy chateau, to settle the Turco
Oreek reparation controversy. Com
plete agreement was reached, and, as
this was the only remaining problem
between the Greeks and the Turks,
hostilities which It was feared might
involve the Balkan countries, have
been averted.
The United States, through Joseph
C. Grew, the minister to Switzerland,
played an important part in the settle
ment. Mr. Grew's efforts for peace,
which continued throughout the night
and today, are regarded by the con
* ference delegates as having helped
1 considerably in preparing the way for
I the agreement the European powers
have been seeking for a fortnight.
The happy ending of the war
threats is expected to favorably in
fluence the remaining near eastern
negotiations and force an accord on
the points still disputed. Incidentally
it will further the proposed revision
of the Turkish-American treaties,
which are still in the stage of informal
conversations.
Essential Points.
The essential points in today's
agreement are: Greece admits that it
owes indemnity to Turkey, while Tur
key renounces enforcement of pay
ments: the two powers agree to recti
fication of the boundary between east
ern ami western Thrace and to the
restoraion of ships seized from one an
other since the armistice; the Turks
agree to waive indemnity in view of i
Greece’s precarious financial condi
tion. and Greece consents to the 1
cession to Turkey of Karagatch and
the railroad from Karagatch to the
Bulgarian frontier.
The meeting began in the same at. j
mosphere as attended the collapse of
the previous conference on February
t Th« pricipal delegates, notably Sir
Horace Humboldt, Great Brit*ln, and
General Belle, France, solemnly ap
pealed to Ismet Pasha, bead of the
Turkish delegation, ta wat^j ^tll,
claims to cash Indemnities and Sc
the offer of Karagatch.
Grew I rgcs Agreement.
Mr. Grew who. until early In the
morning, had conferred with Ismet
Pasha and M. Venizelos counselling
moderation, added America's voice to i
that of Europe. Mr, Grew pointed
out that both Greece and Turkey had
lieen engaged In a long struggle, and
both were confronted with problems
of Internal organization demanding
self controlled Statesmanship. Turkey,
he said, seemed determined to re
organize Its national life on modern
democratic lines and It would seem In
conceivable that It would thrust this
object aside In favor of war.
The settlement followed a long de
bate, after which Ismet Pasha and M.
Venizelos shook hands and sat down
and charted in the most frlehdly man
ner.
M. Venizelos thanked all the plejji
potentiaries, as well as the American
minister, for their efforts toward
peace. Ismet Pasha remarked that
he hoped Turkish conciliatory attitude
would help to Influence the settlement
of the remaining problems between
Turkey and the allies.

Court Reaffirms Stand
in Navracel Action
Lincoln, May 27,—The Nebraska
supreme court announced its adher

of an employe of the Cudahy Pack
ing company of Omaha, Navracel by
name. Navracel tfaa Injured in the

juries received by reason of the pack
ing company, as ha alleged, failing to

The supreme court dismissed the
case, holding that an employe who
comes under the provisions of the
workmen's compensation act and has
not affirmatively rejected it In the
manner specified by law, ha* sur
rendered all right to bring an action
for damage* that might aceure.
The previous ruling aroused so
much Interest In industrial circles
that the court permitted a reargu
