The Break Postponed.
Money and Cotton lip.
Many Heathen Saved.
Baby Oyster and Kangaroo
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
The break between England and
France, allies of the war days, is
averted. How long will the break
be postponed?
Jere Dunne, as savage a fighter
ns ever lived in America, used to
say, “it’s easy to win a fight. When
two men have been fighting awhile
both want to stop. If you make
up your mind not to stop the other
man will quit. *
They had five years of fighting
in Europe, and, except France,
everybody seems perfectly willing
to stop. That enables France to
impose, conditions, and it does it.
When the news came francs and
pounds jumped upward with a
speed that made gamblers on the
hear side dizzy. The United States
stock market moved forward
sedately as becomes the world’s
center of real money. Cotton was
strong and went to new high
prices. It will go higher. Buy it
now if you need any.
The news is as follows: There
were earthquake shocks in the.
southeastern part of France. There
was trembling at the eastern end
of the Pyrennes, where Foch's
ancestors were bred. Not much
harm done.
American parties and politicians
are uniting to cut down income
taxation, especially the heavy
super-tax. Labor is as much inter
ested in this, perhaps, as capital.
Excessive taxation drives capital
into securities that pay no tax,
and discurages enterprises that
would employ new labor.
The Methodist Episcopal church,
through its missionaries, has con
verted 1,769,091 heathens—if you
can call the people of India
heathen.
In Africa, it is hard persuadiqg
the heathen gentlemen to give up
their collection of wives. If they
insist on being polygamists, they
can’t be Christians. But some give
up the extra wives, especially if
they are a little old.
Scientists have discovered a way
to produce “seed” oysters arti
ficially. The first 10,000 artificial
baby oysters have been planted.
That may mean adding billioas of
dollars worth to the world’s food
supply. _
A baby kangaroo born in the
Chicago zoo, is an inch long, about
as wide as a lead pencil, and
weighed nine grains. Once born,
it climbs into its mother’s pouch
and stays there seven months,
while its hind legs grow strong.
A giant grizzly bear has a baby
smaller than a kitten. Nature is
hard on women. But science will
fix that one of these days.
They have taken down the gates
of Tutankhamen’ tomb and soon
his shrunken cheeks will be dis
turbed in their rest of 3,500 years.
Here in Apieriea, the bones of
12 human beings, early settlers,
and Indians, dug up by laborers,
would have been thrown into a
potter’s field trench. But local
official says “they are too respect
able for that,” and buries them in
a regular cemetery. We recognize
class distinction, even in dried
bones. There isn’t any real demo
cracy yet.
William Pastorio is in jail for
throwing a cat out of tht; window,
and the supreme court says it is
unconstitutional to pass a law that
would prevent driving thousands
of young children into mills and
factories. Write that on your
tablets. We can protect cats, not
children.
Charles F. Murphy, who de
mands a wet plank in the demo
cratic platform for 1924, “was
firing a shot at McAdoo’s am
bition,” according to political re
porters. McAdoo will welcome
such shooting. Before 1924 ends
each candidate will be trying to
prove himself dryer than the
others.
Several people were killed by
bootleg whisky in Philadelphia on
Sunday. This will give Governor j
Pinchot a chance to preach another
sermon on prohibition to Mr. Cool
idge and give Mr. Coolidge a
chance to ask Pinchot why he
doesn’t clean house in Philadelphia.
America’s doctors distributed
1,400,000 gallons of whisky on
“prescription” last year. That’s
about one drink for every man,
woman and child, in this country.
That sounds like prohibition, but
how much did bootleggers dis
tribute? _
Tens of thousands of doctors
have been turned loose with
fraudulent medical diplomas. Thou
sands of others, with regular
diplomas, know little or nothing
about disease and its cures. Evrey
doctor once in so often should be
asked to prove that he knows the
difference between scarlet fever
and appendicitis. That would pro
tect real doctors and the public.

tobacco and vegetables. What we
must do is go home and raise more

“Granddaddy’’ of Farmers Union
Attending Convention in Omaha
Began Career Ity Devising
Way to Drive Hornets From
Nest Without Get
ting Stung.
When A, J. Dnrnblazi r. S2. "grand
daddy” of the Farmers' Co-operative
union In Nebraska and elsewhere,
was a small boy on an Indiana farm,
lie invented a way to drive out yel
low hornets without getting stung.
He threw some corn on the nest
and turned Hie hogs loose. The lings
mine dashing In ami trampled the
nest. The hornets stung their hard
est, but they only lost their stings
without mu king any impression on
the porkers' thick hides. And the
small boy lay safe behind a boulder
and roiled with laughter.
Develops (ileninn.
Since that time Mr. Dornblazer has
devoted his Inventive genius to try
ing to show the farmers how they
can get rid of their troubles without
anyone’s getting stung—except, may
be, the hornets.
Mr. Dornblazei s ingenuity had n
chance to develop itself when, with
one other mini, lie drovo a herd of
122 fine Merino buck sheep from
Terra Haute. Ind., to Texas, start
ing in 1SB2. The drive lasted three
years. He was not quite 14 when he
left Terre Haute, arid he was more
than IS when he next saw his home.
Mr. Dornblazer is the only man
now living who took part in forming
the first Farmerk Cooperative union,
on September 2, 1902, In a blacksmith
shop at Point Texas, Rallies county,
Texas. The little group of farmers
organized their union while the black
smith was sharpening their plows.
Came North In 1911.
In April, 1911, Mr. Dornblazer cutne
north to organize the state of Ne
braska for the farmers’ union. He
installed Liberty local. No. 1, May
29, 1911, threw miles frorr^ Brunswick.
O.J. <$omb\a%et'
Antelope county, Nebraska. On De
cember 9 and 10, 1913, he watched
the formation of the Nebraska State
Farmers Co-operative union, whicn
now owns the building at Twelfth
and Jones streets, and other valuable
property In Omaha. At that time it
was housed in two rooms.
The "granddaddy of the farmers’
union” celebrated ills 63d wedding
anniversary not long agct. Mr. and
Mrs. Dornblazer are the proud par
ents of IX children, nine girls and
r.lne hoys. All their living children
are either farmers or live on farms.
Mr. Dornblaaer is in Omaha attend
ing the national convention of the
Farmers Educational and Co-operative
union.
Farmers Seek
Corn Market
State Co-Operative Associa
tion in Session Today at
Hotel Rome.
Prohibition has taken SO cents profit
from every bushel of grain raised In
the United States. Charles K. fc>kerle
of Minneapolis told delegates to the
Nebraska Farmers’ Co-Operative
Grain and Livestock association con
vention at Hotel Rome Tuesday.
Ills talk dealt with the value of co
operative system* among farmers.
Stanley L. Krebs of Chicago followed
Eckerle on the program.
With interest of the delegates cen
tering on corn, the 21st annual con
vention of the Nebraska Farmers Co
operative Grain and Livestock asso
elation opened at Hotel Rome Tuesday
morning. More than 100 delegatea
from all parts of Nebraska had reg
istered before the doors of the as
sembly room opened.
Interest In the price of wheat was
pssslve. According to delegate* from
many sections of the stato. the corn
crop Is a more serious proposition.
Many farmers, tempted by predlc
tlons of a favorable summer, planted
corn last spring. The season came
up to expectations and the crop was
excellent. Now these farmers are
seeking a market at a suitable price.
The day was devoted to reports of
elevator managers. The association
was organized to furnish an improved
market and has established a string
*f grain elevators over the state.
Members now sell their livestock and
grain through their own agents.
The convention was opened with an
Invocation by Rev. C. C. Wilson.
Grace Methodist church. Mayor Dahl
man gave an address of welcome, fol
lowed by 8. 8. Carlisle, president of
the Omaha Grain exchange. J. S.
Canaday, president of the state ele
vator association,- and M. L. Crandell,
president of the state managers’ as
sociation, responded to the addresses
of welcome.
No definite action was taken at
the first meeting on disposing of the
present crop of corn. Several of the
delegates expressed a desire to have
the matter thoroughly discussed out
side the assembly room before any
thing should be mentioned to the
delegates as a body.
