Today H4 Sleeps and Rests. Socialists, Please Note. Tired of Unhappiness. A 100-Billion Idea. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE J President Harding will be buried on Friday, with 3,000 soldiers handling the crowd at Marion. The day is set aside for mourning, but the national banks will not close. The law forbids it, as the burial day is not a national holiday. Warren G. Harding is far away from it all now. The mourners will gather, sermons will be preached all over the country, but not for his ears. He has begun the slqep that rounds our lives. Sleep and rest come at last to all. Those that know what a burden rests on a president of the United States would not call him back to take it up again. The socialists cast a solemn vote of censure condemning President Coolidge as a friend of capital, then wisely let the resolution die. Calvin Coolidge is president of the United States. His boy, 16 years old, is spending the summer vacation working on a tobacco farm, rolling tobacco into bundles, for $3.50 a day. There is a lesson for soma socialists and others. Friends of capital or not, the Coo lidges seem to be friends of hard .work, father and son. "Dear Mother and Father, for give nie for what I am doing. I am *o tired of being unhappy.” That note was found beside the body of Amy Brown, 19. How huge the list of suicides would be, if all those that get "tired of being unhappy” went out of life, instead of struggling through. Few successful men es cape a leaning toward suicide at some time. Luckily a majority win the fight on the side of cour age. In five years the boll weevil has cost the United States $1,500, 000,000. It is probable that thor oughly developed use of flying machine spraying may solve the problem. That being the case, from the point of cotton growers alone, the Wright brothers’ invention would be worth, with interest, two hun dred billions in a hundred years. Enough to pay for the war. Mr. Bertelli, that brilliant cor respondent of Universal Service, describes a “beautiful, mysterious American woman, Mrs. James Brown, startling, pale, clad in black lace” winning-from $20,000 to $60,((P0 a night gambling at Aix. Each time when she "rakes in” a big pot of gold, she kisses a large emerald ring on her engagement finger. Extremely interesting, but those that have been gambling longer than-the beautiful, pale and mys terious Mrs. Brown will tell her that if she keeps at it she will, some day, give that ring a farewell kiss. It will go with her other prop erty—let gamblers make a note of that, whether at Aix or in the stock market. By special scientific process, Henry Ford will get $2 a ton more of byproducts out of coal, besides getting the heat. They have been doing that for a long time in Ger many. Our specialty in America is waste. Every ton of coke, made in the old way, wastes twice the value of the coke. Here’s food for the supersti tious. Five different presidents died, as regards their election, at 20-year periods. They are: Har rison, elected in 1840; Lincoln, elected in 1860; Garfield, elected in 1880;-McKinley, elected (sec ond time) in 1900; President Harding, elected in 1920. Superstitions have been built up on less of a foundation than that. Lamborn, Hutchings & Co., brokers, rise to remark that "the lamentable death of our beloved president should have a sobering influence upon the rauicais." This firm thinks that before congress meets "all fears of radi cal legislation will undoubtedly have been entirely dispelled.’’ The conclusion is that the stock market will do better. The stock market certainly nerds it, although just what the radicals have had to do with the exposures of bucket-shop dishonesty it i. diffi cult to say.

Stable World Up to Science, Chemist Says j — Increased Power to Produce ^ ealth Called World's Premier Problem; Must Find New Methods. London, Aug. 7.—Upon mankind's “increased power to produce wealth" lies the future eecurlty of the world. Sir Alfred Mond, ex cabinet minister and leading industrial chemist of Europe, asserts. Sir Alfred Mond was addressing the students of Swansea University col lege. The necessity for the produc tion of more and more wealth through the aid of science was his text. "The future prosperity of the world," he said, "the solution of its economic difficulties, the security of its teeming millions, depends far more upon its scientific progress, upon its increased power to produce wealth by the application of scientific thought and method to its industrial problems, than to any other form of human effort." Must Enrich World. "If Britain," continued Sir Alfred Mond, "is to regain in the financial field what it lost in the war it must find new methods of enriching the world. It must Increase Its entire production. It must increase the production of real commodities in re lation to man power; it must have better methods of manufacture and produce at lower cost. The applica tion of scientific invention and scien tific methods, of new processes and new products, constitutes the avenue of escape from England's economic dilemma. "Whole avenues of new approaches to industrial problems have been open ed up by the theory of electrons, on which is based the modern process of electrolysis. The manufacture of chlorine and the resulting caustic soda is about the most striking in stance of the substitution of electric for chemical action. "Then there Is the application of catalysis to industrial problems. Uses New Discoveries. "Take Prof. Sabatier's discovery in connection with the process of fat hardening by hydrogeneration, owing to the satalyptic action of finely di vided metals in turning soft, unsatu rated fats like olein into hard satu rated fats like stearin. “Then there is the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydro gen under very great compression of both gases and at an elevated tem perature In the presence of a calyst of iron. "This process enabled Germany to provide Itself—after the blockade— with enormous puantitlea of am monium nitrate, the chief explosive used during the war. "These instances illustrate the necessity of scientific research, not merely applied to any one problem, but for its own sake. Far seeing men of bueinese today have no doubts on the point.” Lumberman’s Wife Dies. Special Dbpatrh to Tho Omaha Rfr, Deshler. Neb.. Aug. 7.—Beulah Barnes Stauffer, wife of Amos E. Stauffer, manager of the Foster Humber company at Farnam, died at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. E. ,T. Mitchell. In Deshler Tuesday.

Cut in Wheat Yield Is Spur to Buying (I'ontinufxi From Flmt F«fp.) ever, we are urging farmers to hold their wheat. “It now turns out, according to re ports, the wheat crop will be much ’Ighter than was expected In Nebras ka. We still urge persons to buy wheat, as we did In our slogan, 'Buy a thousand or more bushels of wheat.’ The farmers who hold anil those who buy stand to win.” “That is a good argument, to hold wheat back," Ward M. Burgess stated. Mr. Kennedy explained that one of the effects of the campaign has been to get farmers to hold their wheat and he outlined the possible profit to the farmers who hold and also to those who buy. Kansas Yield Reduced. Mr. Roberta referred to figures which showed a previous estimate of the Kansas wheat yield at 120,000,000 bushels, which estimate has been re duced to 80,000,000 bushels. Chairman Kennedy said he may take up with Julius Barnes the ques tion of whether the United States Grain corporation could be made to function in time to be of advantage in this situation. A letter was received.by the com mittee from the Lexington (Neb.) Mill and Elevator company, stating that this concern Is experiencing difficulty in obtaining enough wheat from Its district to keep the mill In operation. The mill has been closed for a week and the writer stated that he does not believe there is enough wheat In the district to keep the mill In opera tion this year. The writer explained that the recent closing of the mill was due to farmers holding their wheat. Market Is "Bullish." The grain men at the committee meeting described the present situa tion as “bullish" on account of the new estimates showjng a decrease of the probable wheat yield. Letters were received from the fol lowing: Gov. W. H. McMasters, South Dakota, who will help spread publicity of the campaign; public utilities com mission of Kansas; Yankton Chamber of Commerce, endorsing effort to ob tain lower export rates; Nebraska state railway commission, willing to help the farmers; Fort Dodge Cham ber of Commerce; St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, endorsing buying of wheat and floor; Bellingham (Wash.) Chamber of Commerce; Helena and Des Moines Chambers of Commerce; Peoria Chamber of Commerce, stating that the campaign has been referred to a special committee: Ogden and Seattle Grain exchanges and Milwau kee Chamber of Commerce. The committee wishes to explain again to prospective" wheat buyers that the method open to them is to apply to any grain dealer at any grain exchange, i City Free of Crime Last Sunday Night After a 48-hour checkup, police reported yesterday that Sunday night, the night that the funeral train carrying the body of the late President Harding to Washington, passed through Omaha, not a single burglary was committed. Not only tliat, but crime of all sorts was at a low ebb. The under world appears to have declared a temporary truce in its war against society. Although 25.000 persons were as sembled in the downtown district, not a single pocket was picked, so far as police have been able to learn. And although hundreds of homos wers deserted while the occupants stood four hours to watch the pass ing of ths funeral train, not one of them waa invaded by prowlers. Police declare the record is unique in the annals of crime. ..—- -- Bumper Crop Assured. Special Olepatrh to The Omaha Hre.

Washington, Aug 7.—Cost* of re tailing coal and profit* made by deal ers can best he explained by muni cipal and state agencies In the in terests of the communities concerned, according to conclusions reached by the federal coal commission. In a statement yesterday, the commission said it had found coal retailing in extricably associated with trucking and storage, and with the retailing of a variety of other commodities. The expense of concluding a natural survey was estimated to be $2,000, 000. "There seems to be a lack of In formation as to how far the United States coal commission has gone in the anthracite and intends to go into the bituminous industry with refer ence to the retailing of coal," the statement said. Appropriation Inadequate. "To see the matter right, the com mission announces that it soon dis covered more than 40,000 retail coal dealers In America, many of whom had their coal business complicated with other articles of merchandise, and the appropriation would not permit a presentation rel ative to the investment, cost, margin and profits of each of these dealers. The commission has done all that it could in many of the municipalities and will present the result of its in vestigation to the country, but it has not gone, and cannot go, into an in vestigation of all the retail coal deal ers of America. "An investigation of such a char acter could not be made short of $2,000,000 and when made would not lie conclusive as to whether the cit izens of a municipality were satis fied to pay the prices charged by the retailer for coal. Therefore, the commission has concluded that ex cept as to the general investigation of the retail trade, it will have done alt it can when It furnishes the in formation as to cost at the mine. The railroad rate is easily ascertainable. Must Art for Themselves. “Citizens and municipalities must 3o something for themselves. If they helieve that they are paying to the retailer an exorbitant profit, they should supplement the work of the. commission by local investigation ot the subject. "The commission heartily approves all Investigations that are being made to ascertain the profits of retailers In Individual municipalities, the margin of profits, and any suggestion that can bo made for the bettering, if needful, of conditions disclosed In the investigation of ths subject." Bodies Removed. Sperlal Plipnirh to Tho Omaha Sr#. Grand Island. Neb.. Aug. 7 — Despite the shadow cast over the opening of the Nebraska Baptist Voung People's assembly by the drowning of Walter Solwirk and Kl ton Haight, delegates and singers, the program was resumed Monday morn ing and continued throughout the day.

Master lilies and China asters, with a simple white card bearing this legend: "With profound sympathy, "George, R. I." A huge wreath of tiger and Master lilies and cypress loaves betokened the sympathy of the diplomatic corps. It was brought In person by Ambassa dor Rialto, acting ns dean of the corps in the hbsonoe from tips llnitpd States of Ambassador Jusserand. There were other wreaths from the king of Spain, the king of Italy and the president of Argentina. One boro the name of the shah of Persia. Oth ers came from “his Britannic majes ty's government," the government of Italy, the dominion of Canada. From the legation of the kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, from Ambassa dor Riano in person and from many others of the diplomats, who speak for great peoples overseas, came still other silent tributes to the dead. The great, growing bank of flow ers was a mere hint at what the mor row would bring to the capitol ro tunda, when the state funeral takes place. But it served to make it sure that President Harding's last hours in the Whito House would be amid such scenes of quiet beauty as only do honors to the great dead. Farmers Complain. Lincoln, Aug. 7.—Formal complaint was filed yesterday with the state rail way commission by the Farmers' Union Elevator company against the Burlington and the Northwestern rail road companies because of alleged in ability to have the two roads build a connecting track at Harvard where by it can have access to both roads in spring grain. It says if this accommodation was secured it would be enabled to pay higher prices than it is now enabled to do because it is compelled to make its shipments in a roundabout way to Kansas City and St. Joseph. r The \ Customary The film* you bring back from holiday excursion or motor trip are too precious to risk.
