Today
Siamese Finance.
Fighting Is Respectable.
Innocent Hays and
Harvey.
Rather Fiddle Than
Burn.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Stock speculators were nervous
and shaky again yesterday. Eng
land is worried about the conti
nent, and our speculators are
worrying about England. Finan
ciers of all nations are fastened
together like Siamese twins.
A lady asks why the Dempsey
Firpo fight is allowed. “Once,”
says she, “prize fighters had to hide
away in barns, like dog fighters.
Now they have the police to keep
order for them while they knock
each other down. How can you ex
plain that?”
Easily. A big prize fight now is
worth $2,000,000 to the promoters.
That makes it RESPECTABLE.
The owner of a little gambling
house must hide away. The own
ers of a stock or produce ex
change, where they bet millions, is
respectable and protected. We
have our weaknesses in this coun
try, but we do show respect for
anything above 1,000,000.
London cables a rumor that the
king of Spain has been assassinat
ed. Probably not true. Alfonso’s
courage and the respect it inspires
are the beet protection. Yet his
life isn't a good risk.
Revolution broke out in Cata
lonia, which is to Spain what Ire
land was to England for hundreds
of years, a hotbed of hatred and
bitterness. Plora, plora, Catalonia
is the Spanish version of the
‘‘Wearing of the green.” There
can be no permanent peace in
Spain until the Catalonians are
satisfied.
The latest definite news from
Spain shows that King Alfonso
can turn corners quickly. He has
invited the leader of the rebels to
form his own ministry, since the
rebels don’t like the king’s cabinet.
No use fighting the army.
George Haney lands n Eng
land, with Will Hays on ihe same
boat. Both young gentlemen deny
that they have any interest in poli
tics. Mr. Hays is on a vacation.
He derided to take it about six
hours before Harvey’s hoat sailed.
These innocent young men will
iearn with amazement that repub
lican politicians accuse them of
mapping out a Coolidge campaign.
Harvey is expected to he the Cool
idge secretary of state, taking the
place of Mr. Hughes, who, the
politicians say, “got President
Harding in wrong on the world
court.” .. .
Pierpont Noyes tells Unitarians
at Yale that the United States is
a selfish nation. The world's salva
tion will be found only when the
United States resumes the world
leadership.
The United States may be self
ish, but tt isn’t robbing or murder
ing anybody. And it never held
the world leadership. It paid the
bills while Europe laughed.
Walter Leaf, a London banker,
arrives in America to tell us that
the United States fiddles as Eu
rope burns. These criticisms are
painful, but at least, unlike Nero,
wt did not start the fire. We arc
bound to tell Mr. Leaf of London
that if we must either fiddle or
burn, we wbuld rather fiddle.
American school children saved
$>,500 in the last school year. The
* money is nothing, the saving habit
is everything.
To teach children that poverty is
slavery and can be avoided by
reasonable saving, is the first duty
' of parents. The second duty is to
teach children that after thev have
saved, they must help others-.
The innocent suffer with the
guilty. Hundreds of millions of
British oysters are dead because
after the war the government
dumped into the water materials
for explosives that killed the oys
ters and ruined fishermen.
Our government dumped far out
at sea enough deadly chemicals to
destroy every city in Europe, so
the scientists say. Heaven only
knows what they may have done
to whales, sharks, etc.
Cuno, former chancellor of Ger
many, arrived here yesterday. His
mood was blue and pessimistic. He
says there won’t be any revolu
tion in Germany, and there is no
allianca between Germany and
Russia. Good news for France, if
Cuno is correctly informed.
One hundred and fifty thousand
dead have actually been counted
in Tokio and the surrounding area.
Five thousand million dollars is the
money cost of the earthquake.
That earthquake has only just
died out, after more than a thou
sand shocks following the great
catastrophe. There has never been
such a disaster in all recorded his
tory, outside of the three sisters,
War, Plague and Famine.

Good Yield of Corn Is
Expected Near Callaway
•Jallaway, Neb., Rept. 1«.—Corn
hulking will rorrunwicp hern In about
tw6 weeks. Corn will be *• good crop.
ISstlmate* of the yield are from 30
to 60 bushel* an acre.
Custer County to Have
Many Fall Farm Sales
Callaway, Nrb., Sept. 10.- An 'in
u*ually large number of farm sale*
will bo bold In this part of Custer
county this fall. Prbes of livestock
are good. ** •
Potato Crop Is
Reported Large
at Hemingford
Brisk Demand for Bliss Tri
umphs—Flax Brings Good
Price—Building Activity
Shown.
Hemingford, Neb., Sept. 16.—Small
grain threshing continues with the
average yield of wheat about 20 bush
els, bringing 86 cents for milling
wheat and 60 cents for durum. Bar
ley Is averaging 40 bushels and the
elevators are about 40 cents. Oats
are averaging 50 bushels and are
bringing 30 cents. About two-thirds
of the corn Is out of danger of frost.
The acreage of corn Is greatly In
creased, there being about 12,000
acres of corn In the county. Mature
corn will bring about 60 cents here
and all will he fed to livestock. Near
ly all of the rye, barley and oats
will be fed here. There Is no mill
in the county, hence practically all of
the wheat will be exported. There
will be very little of the wheat held,
most of it being marketed frotp the
machines.
The quality of the table stock po
tatoes Is not high, these being In
jured by the early blight and other
causes. The table stock potatoes are
selling now for between 50 to 60 cents
a bushel sacked and are running
about 12 per cent under grade one,
the tolerance being about 6 per cent,
making 18 per cent below grade.
An unusual demand Is springing up
for Bliss Triumphs. One buyer from
Alabama states his requirements are
1100 cars. There was never such good
quality in the Bliss Triumph pota
toes as there will be this year as the
season has been favorable for the
growth of late planted potatoes.
There Is quite an acreage of flax
In the county and this Is making a
jblg crop and commanding a good
price. Owing to the large acreage
there is probably more corn In the
county this year than has been grown
here since it was first settled. Some
farmers are talking of buying corn
shellers. Box Butte farmers have
been practicing diversified farming
the last ten years and they have more
than 20 different kinds of products to
sell. t
In the country there have been a
dozen new farm houses built and a
large number of barns and granaries.
Last spring the alfalfa acreage was
more than doubled and enough alfalfa
fields will be used for seed this year,
so that there will be considerable al
falfa seed for shipment after provid
ing for next spring's seeding. Cos
sack alfalfa is raised by several
farmers for seed.
‘The county commissioners have
worked the road grading outfits full
capacity this summer. They have
built many miles of excellent roads
out Into the farming districts. A
large number of trucks are operating
hauling In the grain direct from the
machines. The threshing will be
over this week and potato harvest
will begin about September 20.
Indians from the Sioux reservation
are coining In and have an encamp
ment here ready to do their usual
work in the potato harvest. Chief
F’atrick Bittera ts in charge, and he
estimates by the 20th that there will
be 300 Indiana ready for work.
Last year, owing to the dry weath
er In the fall, practically no grain
was put out in this territory. This
year a considerable acreage of Kan
red wheat and Rosen rye are being
sowed as moisture conditions are fa
vorable.

War Heroes to Attend Reunion
of Eightv-Eighth Division Here
Two Men Who Repulsed^At
lack by 40 Germans Will
Meet Army Buddies
Again in Omaha.
One of the thrilling personal ex
ploits of wartime days is recalled by
the visit of two Dakota heroes to the
reunion of the Eighty-eighth division
to be held In Omaha September 28 to
30. The two are Hans Johnson.
Menno, S. D., and his comrade,
Harold Crosby, of Rolla, N. D.
Caught by a block barrage In an
isolated outpost on a sector near
Altklrch, Alsace, Johnson and Crosby
together boat off an attack by 40
Germans, although their rifles were
Jammed, both were wounded, and
Crosby lost a hand.
Hurl Hand Grenades.
The attack was made October 31,
1918. Johnson, then a corporal In
charge of the outpost, came running
out of his dugout when the enemy
laid down a barrage around them,
and artived at the outpost In time to
see the Germans firing rifles and
throwing hand grenades as they at
tacked the post.
Johnson opened up at once with an
automatic rifle. A bomb bursting
near at hand covered the rifle and
Jammed It. Johnson took the rifle
apart with one hand and cleaned It.
meanwhile hurling hand grenades with
the other hand. The feat demands no
little dexterity and coolness, as any
one can testify who recalls the proc
ess of pulling the pins out of the
grenades and the speed with which
th» bomb must be disposed of after
wards.
Bomb Blows Off Hand.
Private Crosby near at hand was
also fighting hard with another auto
matic. A bomb took off his hand,
but he continued to do execution
with the rifle in spite of this and
other wounds. Finally the Germans
overpowered him, kicked, clubbed and
beat him into insensibility.
But Johnson’s tw’o-handed rain of
bullets and grenades finally gave the
attackers enough, and they retired,
carrying off three dead and several
wounded with them. Johnson and
Crosby both received citations for
bravery, annd were later decorated.
They belonged to the Company X of
the Three Hundred Fifty-second in
fantry, 88th division.

curred, when a jury returned a
verdict of not guilty in the murder
trial of Mmc. Marguerite Fahmy, who
killed her husband. Prince All Kemal
Fahmy-Bey of Egypt.
The crowd in old Bailey courtroom

The Jury, which included two wo

Mme. Fahmy, whose defense was
that she killed her husband in fear
that he would slay her as he had
often threatened to do, fainted when
the verdict was returned. Her estl

the Egyptian, whose dinners and
manner of life were said to he like

Iowa Horseman
"Back From Dead”
T. E. Mann of Spencer Sur
prises Friends by Return to
Omaha Track W ith W inner.
T. E. Mann, Spencer, la., veteran
harness horse race driver, "came
back from the dead,” in tne opinion
of old time race followers, to surprise
friends and acquaintances with the
performances of Maud C, his prize
sorrel mare. Tuesday race was Mann’s
first appearance on an Omaha race
track In six years; and he took two
heats and placed In another.
Maud C Is the result of years of
careful breeding in Mann's opinion.
She is a direct descendant of the
favorite driving horse nt Mann's sis
ter-in-law. Also she Is a ''pacing
feot” In the opinion of other drivers.
Mann's last appearance in this vi
cinity was six year* ago at Benson.
At that time he "cleaned up” to such
an extent that other horsemen began
to speak of him aa a formidable op
ponent. Now, after his return, they
find that his horses are as formidable
as ever.
Beveral weeks ago Mann was of
fered $3 500 for Maude C by a Lincoln
man. lie refused temporarily as some
real estate was Involved in the deal
At the time, however, he said that he
might think things over but if his
hor-e won In Omaha the price would
be $4,500. Site won and now Mann
and his horse are in Springfield, III.,
for the races there.

night 1 couldn't rest. Mornings 1 felt tired 1
and for days at n time l couldn't do a tap j
of work. 1 used Poan’s Kidney Tills and
finally 1 felt like a different man."

MRS. LEROY HURD, 2923 S. t7«h St..
says: "I could hardly pet around because
of the pains in my back. They would cut
throuph my kidneys and feel like needles
stickinp into me. 1 could hardly herd, and
my kidneys wore disorde ed. A member
of my family had used Loan's Kidney Pills
and advised me to try them. I only used
a couple hexes of Doan's, and have not
been troubled since.”
