land republic—green, white and red.
Two proclamations were placarded.
The first of these said:
“To the jjcople of I he Khine
, land: The hour of liberty has
struck Berlin has plunged us In
distress and misery. We come to

Berlin Blames French.
Berlin, Oct. 21.—The' proclamation
of a Rhineland republic at Alx La
i Chapellc is regarded in official cir
cles in Berlin as a purely local af
fair engineered by separatists with
the support of the Franco-Belgian
authorities. It is considered as not
likely to spread to other Rhineland
and Ruhr towns.
Hunger Strikes. Are

Dublin, Oct. 21.—From Mi. Joy

S ing captured irregular*.
*s-*"^t«’publlcan leaders now declare that
there are 4.000 ot their comrades in
free state prisons, who are refusing
food. The situation is really serious
for the government, as it is feared
that If even one prisoner dies the
whole country may agsln be plunged
into trouble. ^
President Cosgrave, speaking today
in front of the obi Irish parliament
house, said:
“Jf the prisoners were really hun
ger striking it might be different, but
tliere is a lot of bluff about these
strikes.
"We sent medical officers to the
prisons and they (jiund that the sup

Perhaps "The Americanism of
Theodore Roosevelt” is not a book
that appeals to your liternry taste.
Fearful that it might not is what
induced us to offer ”KX the Life
Atom.” a book about something or
other by somebody or ether. But in
our anxiety to secure a title, cogno
men, caption name or designation for
this Kolm of Rambling Remarks we
have decided to appeal to the literati
—that wide catholicity of literary
taste that must of a surety bring re
sults. If you do not like either of
the above literary gems perhaps you
will be interested in another book
we offer as a prize for a title. It
is "a study In political vindication,”
And is about a well-known character
in gpr political life, ’William Jennings
Bryan, of whom you have doubtless
heard at sundry times and oft. The
book is written by Wayne C. Williams
and is in his best style. Not a large
book, to be sure, but a book you
will undoubtedly like if you like that
kind of a book. Come on with your
suggestions.
The crowded aiHles of a big depart
ment store. Well dressed and ap
parently prosperous woman looking
at articles displayed on various coun

purchase. Suddenly gentleman
touches her on the shoulder and
whispers a few words in her ear.
Woman grows pale under the rouge
and pulls away from gentleman, who
take* her by the arm and gently but
forcefully propels her toward the
elevator. "Been watching that dame
for a week,” explained a saleswoman.
"Shell put up a big stall, and prob
ably get her husband down to square
her. He'll dig up and the dame goes
free. But it would be Jail for her
It she was glommln' somethin' to
keep her kids warm or give 'em a
square meal. Same old stuff, but it
ain't right.” And the cynical sales
woman turned away to wait on a cus
tomer who had something more than
lime to spend.
Xot surprised that Charley\Ring
ling hurried to square his big show
with Omaha people when he learned
the fuots. Have known him person
ally for more years than either of
us cares to remember. Knew all of
Ills brothers. First knew them 37
years ago. when they unharnessed
their horses and unloaded their wag
ons. preparatory to pitching their
tents and putting on their dog and
pony show at Minden, then away out
west. All five of the boys took part
in the show then, Mr. John being the
ringmaster. Mr. Alf told me that day
that the ambition of himself and
brothers was to own the biggest cir
cus in the world, and expected to win
it by playing square with the people.
The Cleanliness, physically and mor
ally, of the Mingling shows, coupled
with the honesty and energy of the
five doys, explains how they achieved
their youthful ambition.

Stopped quickly. So did about a

Hurried on because I quickly discov

World Survey of
Agriculture Is
Plan of Wallace
Information Would Keep
American Farmers Inform
ed on Foreign Competi
tive Conditions.
Washington, Oct. 21.—A world sur
vey of agriculture, is being made at
the direction of Secretary Wallace,
it was announced today, to keep Am
erican farmers informed as to foreign
competitive conditions and to indi
cate what opportunities exist abroad
for the sale of American farm pro
ducts. The information obtained by
the Investigators, it Is believed, will
enable farmers intelligently to anti
cipate vital changes in world agri
culture, instead of being forced to
carry on their operations in the dark.
Some studies already have been
completed and others are being made.
In addition, the department of agri
culture la extending and improving
its foreign crop and market report
Ing service. Its commissioners in
I/ondon and Berlin now investigate
demand for agriculture products and
assist in developing the European
market. Arrangements have been
made for extensive cooperation with
the consular service of the state de
partment In developing a supplemen
tary reporting system.
A number of other projects de
signed to better agriculture condi
tions are under way. One Is to as
semljje statistics of supply and de
mand and make it easy to determine
their significance as indicators of
price conditions. Such forecasts, of
ficials believe, will enable farmers
to increase or limit their output well
in advance of price change's on which
they now have to rely for guidance.
A special Investigation Is In prog
ress into the handling and reporting
of shipments of Canadian wheat to
end through the United States and
of corresponding movements of Can
adian wheat through Canada, the
object of which is to clear up con
fusion in the statistics of experts and
imports as published by the two coun
tries.
Statistics dealing with important
item* In hanking, Industry, foreign
and domestic commerce and general
prlves to be used In measuring the
demand for agriculture products, are
being gathered and will be kept up
to date for future studies.

65 Carriers
Mentioned
in Order
Advance of One to Two Cents
Awarded Clerks, Freight
handlers and Others
by Labor Board.
Signalmen Denied Boost
Chicago, Oct. 21—The United
States railroad labor board made
public a decision tonight, awarding
increases of 1 to 2 cents to clerks,
station forces, dock, warehouse and
platform freight handlers, and similar
employes of 65 carriers.
The decision followed closely on an
other, denying an increase to signal
men. The present decision reads:
"In the case of the signalmen, their
present rates of pay and the very
favorable treatment they had re
ceived In previous wage orders and
adjustments, made It seem Inequitable
to award them an Increase of wages
under the state of proof before the
board. In the case of the clerical em
ployes proper, It Is undoubtedly true
that their present wages and the pre
vious wage awards and orders affect
ing them through a long period of
years, do not show that they have
ever received treatment which could
be termed preferential." A dissent
ing opinion accompanied the previous
decision denying an increase to the
signalmen.
The employes affected by the pres
ent decision were represented by the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steam
ship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Ex
press and Station Employes, by the
Brotherhood of Railway Station Em
ployes and by the International Long
shoremen's association.
An unusual provision of the de
olsij.-i is that thu "sum of tho In
creases granted to the employes In
eaclj section shall bo distributed by
Joint action of the representatives of
the carriers and of the employes, In
such a manner as to bring about Just
and equitable rates for the employes
in each of- the various sections for
which Increases are provided.”

Can She Cook?
“Don't Bp Influenced so Much by the Rustle of a GirTs
Skirt as by Her Hustle Over the Dishpan and Tub .“
Minister Warns.
By Calesrsel Smln.
Chicago, Oct. 11.—Can she cook?
That'* the question that should be
uppermost In a young man’s mind
when he goes searching for a wife.
Rev. Charles M. Rauch told the con
gregation of the Brookline Preeby
terian church today.
•'Don’t be influenced »vr much by
the rustle of a girl's skirt as by her
hustle over the dishpan and tub,"
tlje minister warned.
The beat time to go a courting—to
find out Just what sort of a girl she
I*—la Monday. Then you'll find her
at her best—or worst, according to
Rev. Rauch.
“Call on her when she isn't expect
big company and make It some day
when her mother Is away from home.
Then see how the possible dispenser
of kitchen utensils sizes up.” he con
tinued.
But love must not be left out. Oh.
no. Rev. Rauch went into this end
of It when he said:
"To every young man contemplat
ing marriage I would say, Re sure
you love, and are loved, then go
ahead. It would be a good thing
If that love would continue unto the
end. Thera should be as much con
tempt for a slacker In love as tb pa
triotism. I)o a lot of thinking before
you go <^own on your knees to any
woman.
"Do you love her for her charac
ter or her chatter? Or the perfume
on her ribbons, or Is It the far sweeter
perfume of a pure heart that you
adore?"
And the liaiik account Is not so
Important as the heart account, ac
cording to ltev. Rauch's philosophy.
"I would rather lo#e my heart to
a cook and practical housekeeper of
oflvsry day common sense than to the
shallow, Irresponsible butterfly with
never a serious thought. Her bank
account la not so Important a* her
heart account. If her heart has been
bankrupt several times be careful;
you might lose ail

Klan Wrong on i
Jews, Pastor Says
Rex. Albert Kuhn Pleads
Again* Racial
Prejudice.
"The attacks upon the Jew* by the
Ku Klux Klan and Henry Ford'*
Dearborn Independent ought to b*
distasteful to every thoughtful Chris
tian," aaid Rev. Albert Kuhn, of the
Bethany Presbyterian church In hla
sermon, entitled "The Jews," Sun
day morning.
"In the first place." ha continued,
"they nro unjust and misleading.
Among the Jews, as among any other
people, no two are alike; there ar*
lots of crooked Americana: that doea
not make the American a crook; there
are lota of booxe fighting Irishmen;
that doea not make your neighbor a
booieflghter. % also there ar*
crooked dews and there are honest
Jews, clean Jewe and filthy Jews,
modest Jews and arrogant Jaws,
moral Jews and immoral Jews. Clod
never judge* folks wholesale, nor
should we.
"As s matter of mere justice. I
want to state that aa far aa my
observation goes, there are propor
tionately al least as many kind Jews
and honest Jews and 'clean minded
Jews as there are Christiana of that
type; there Is certainly a larger pro
portion among them of thrtfty peo
ple. amt that la a virtue, too.
"The Jew of the pant haa been the
rellgloua leader of the world. What
there Is sane and spiritual In om'
reunion we owe almost exclusively to
Jews. What the Homans later added
to the Jewish fundamentals of Chris
tlattlty has not Improved but corrupt
ed It.
Personalty I long for a movement
toward a spiritual fellowship betweeu
Jew and Christian, l would be glad
to see such a movement started Iu
Omaha and would bo actively to co
operate with It If there are any Jews
or Chtlstian* who feel the same way
as t and are highest-!ed enough to
cist aside prejudice and to treat their
brother as such. I wish they would
get in touch with me Perhaps we
caw get something started that will

Rev. Ralph E. Bailey Says
Honest Spirit of Inquiry
Should Be in Religion.
"Truth ii t# Saw at belief, faith and
life, and reasoning toward reality the
proper goal of the philosophic teat,
whereas, moat of the tragedy and
disaster In human life, the trouble
and hurt and harm In the walks and
ways of men. come along the avenue
of fa lee beliefs, and if It were porsb
ble to avoid the evil of falee beliefs
we should avoid most of the thorn*
and stones that bedevil mankind.”
said Rev. Ralph E. Bailey at the First
T’nitarlan church Sunday morning.
Hia sermon topic was, “Ths Law of
Believing," introducing a eerie* of
eight sermons on the genwal them*
of "What Can We Believe?"
"The will to believe among men
is subject to two types of limitation,"
he said. “One. the tendency and
function of ths human mind to seek
realtly. and. oecondlv. self-imposed
rules or standards which take the
place of those dictated by kings or
governmer.ta of elate or church. For
example, the Idenl. tradition and spirit
of this fellowship of ours is good
ness. to believe only rh* beet, to
make truth the law.
"The true rulee and principles
which It behooves jia to adopt and
follow," concluded Mr. Bailey, "re
sulting from the long labor and ex
perience of mankind In finding
truth, and which have worked In She
quest for reality are three:
