Omaha Lawyers " Honor Pioneer Member of Bar C. S. Montgomery Completes 50 Years Service—Early Days of City Recalled at Lunhceon. When C. S. Montgomery began the practice of law here on April 10, 1879, there were only two blocks of pave ment and Farnain street extended to Twentieth street. The Omaha Bar association hon ored Mr. Montgomery yesterday noon at luncheon in the Brandels restau rant, where David Fitch, head of the organization, presided and the guest of honor offered Interesting reminis cences of his experiences here more than 40 years ago. Mr. Montgomery stated that yesterday marked the completion of 50 yers of law practice, starting at Lincoln. He intends to go to California with Mrs. Montgom ery for the winter. “When 1 started in the law busi ness in Lincoln at the age of 22, I was so boyish in appearance that I expe rienced difficulty in making people be lieve I was a lawyer,” Mr. Alontgom ery said. "After a year a id a half in Lincoln I was married and within a few years my responsibilities were increased by the arrival of two sons. During my last year in Lincoln, mv income was $1,100. G. W. Holdrege gave me transportation to Omaha, Where I established myself in the of fice of the late Judge Goff. Our office was at the southwest corner of Four teenth and Dodge streets, then only one block from the Federal building." Mr. Montgomery referred to the splendid influence of the late Judge J'l. Wakeley, whose office was across the hall. During 1891 M. A. Hall be came associated with Mr. Montgom ery, the recent firm name being Afont gomery, Hall A Young. The partner ship of Montgomery and Hall is said <o have been the longest in the legal profession in Omaha. "In the early days.’j Mr. Montgom ery- told his triends of the bar asso ciatlon, "it was difficult for a young lawyer to obtain a start. I recall sev eral men who worked In our office for a small consideration at first. "To be a reputable member of the bar of the United States Is to hold a position of distinction. Today it means something to be a lawyer, particularly at this time, when there Is need of improvement In the matter of respect for law." Mr. Montgomery added that when he arrived In Omaha John L. Webster and W. J. Connell, although compara tively young men, had already es tablished themselves as lawyers of ability.

The above chart show* In striking relief the present business situation and the changes that have taken place recently. The chart of corn and wheat prices shows that for the first time in a decade the price of corn is as high as the price of wheat, and that the price of corn has steadily advanced and Is well above the pre war years of 1917 to 1919. The gasoline chart shows that gaso line consumption is at last larger than production and that surplus stocks are now sharply diminishing. The charts on steel production and car loadings call attention to the sur prising volume of business in spite «f widespread pessimism. The chart of mail order sales meas ures the steady growth that is now taking place in the purchasing pow er of the farming sections, and the steady diminishing of commercial failures attests the real strength of the present business situation. Burgess Bedtime Stories i_i By THORNTON W. Bl KGESS. Who do«*s hlii b«it no more c*n do. And to himself is ev«r true. —Old Man Buzzard. Old Man Billiard Does His Bent. Old Man Buzzard spread his broad wings and flew out from his favorite tali dead tree in the Green Forest. Old Mr. Buzzard was angry. He had been teased so much by his neighbors of ths Green Forest and his pride in his wonderful flying ability had been so hurt that he had made up his mind that he would show those who had made fun of him what real fly ing was. When ho was high enough he began to spring around in great circles go ing higher and higher. Almost at once the man bird, which was the cause of all his trouble and which you and I know was an aeroplane, began to climb higher and higher. You see, the man in the aeroplane had seen Old Mr. Buzard start out from the Green Forest and he thought it would he fun to show that a man made mu chine could fly better than the best flyer among the birds. So as Old Mr. Buzzard moved higher and higher up In the blue, blue sky so did the man bird. Round and round In circles, high er and higher and higher sailed Old Mr. Buzzard and the man bird, while all the .little people 111 the Green For est and on the Green Meadows sat with their heads tipped back watch ing. Up. up, up went Old Mr. Buz zard until to those on the ground he was hardly visible, their heads tipped back watching. Up, up, up went the aeroplane, hut because It was much bigger It ddt not look to lie as high as Old Man Buzzard. “1 declare, I believe Old Mr. Buz zard really is going to make his boast good and fly higher than that man bird can,” Sammy Jay said. "Walt. Just wait," cautioned Blacky the Crow. "I have an Idea that that man bird is Just as high as Old Mr. Buzzard right now, only it is so much bigger that it doesn't look to be so high. Just wait." Of course they all waited. There was nothing else to do. By this time they could hardly see Old Mr., Buzzard, but the man bird still look ed big. Old Mr. Buzzard went higher than he had ever been In all hie life be fore. But it was of no use. That man bird soon wns Just as high and sailing in big circles around him. Still Mr. Buzzard kept on. He wouldn't give in until he had to. Then that hateful mnn bird begun to climb faster and faster. In a moment or two it was above Old Mr. Buzzard, and kept right on going up nnd up and up. Soon It was as far above Old Mr. Buzzard as Old Mr. Buzzard Visiting Teachers: Visit America’s I.urgost Credit Apparel Store supply your every need.

Old Mr. Buzzard knew then that this man bird could fly faster and higher than he could ever hope to fly. By this time the little people, watching the twa fliers, knew too. That great man bird was growing smaller and smaller. Now it was no logger than Old Mr. Buzzard when he had started out from his tree. Now it was only half as big. Now it was hard to tell which was which. t III a moment or two hr was abore Old Mr. Ituzzard. Now there was only one speck high up in tho blue, blue sky; the other had disappeared. The little watch ers down below stared nt each other. It was hard to believe, but one of those fliers had gone ao high that It could no longer lie soon.

I (llh and Dlnn*jr LON CHANSY la "THE SHOCK"_ Prohibition Politics In U. S. Explained (Continued From F«wo One.) ally hundreds of democrats whom the republican leaders have tried In vain to displace. Some republican senators and con gressmen and other republican lead ers have gone over the heads, or tried to go over the heads, of Mr. Blair and Mr. Mellon, direct to Harding; and have tried to get Harding to compel Mr. Mellon and Mr. Blair to act more In accordance with the wishes of the republican leaders. On some of the occasions, Mr. Harding refused to Interfere. On some other occasions, when he tried to interfere, he was met with quiet but completely effective opposition from Mr. Mellon, who took the position and "got away with It” that so far as within his power the Treasury department must be administered as a business lnstl tution and not as a political instltu tion. Where Politicians Work. Where, then, is the politics? For Governor Plnchot Is quite right when he says that politics Interferes with enforcement. The politics comes from senators and congressmen. The appointment of agents and sub ordinates In the prohibition enforce ment unit Is not under the protec tion of civil service. This being so. as It works out. these appointments are made chiefly on the recommenda tion of senators in the various states. It Is here, rather than anywhere else, that the politics of which Governor Plnchot complains, Is to be found. It is the senators and congressmen who I respond to the "wet" Influence# In their various state*. Aside from the charges that poll tic# interferes. Governor Pinchot really ha» in mind a distinction be tween his own mental attitude and the mental attitude of Mr. Mellon Governor Pinchot Is himself by na ture a man of zeal and determination, and >UBt now his zeal and determina tion are focused on enforcing the pro hibition law. He demand# from Mr Mellon the same amount of zeal and determination that he himBeif has. In his latest criticism Governor Pinchot lays emphasis on "determina tion.” It is entirely correct to say that Mr. Mellon is a man of differ ent temperament from Governor Pinchot. Mellon Is Modest. Among other differences, Mr. Mel lon is extremely modest, almost shy. He is the only member of the cabi net who has never made a public speech since he took office. Mellon, in his way, is as honest as Pinchot In his way. But It would be acutely painful to Mr. Mellon's temperament to go about with pol cemen and pad locks or to do anything else specta cular. And precisely the demand of the church people and prohibitionists Is that something be done that is spectacular and drastic. They think this is what the present cruris calls for. For this and other reasons. Gov vemor Pinchot is likely to have the i^est of the present controversy. Capt Richard Thew Dies. Fresno. Ca!„ Nov. 1.—Capt.
