You know the fable about “The
Mountain in Labor.” Much groan
ing and crackling, and when the
critical moment came, out popped
a little mouse, That was the
mountain’s baby, about which it
had been making all the fuss.
That story of the mountain
roust come back to Mr. Edward
ft. Bok as he contemplates the
result of his $100,000 peace prize
offer. It’s a very small mouse
f}iat he got for his money.
That Bok prize peace plan will
hmuse you. Poor Mr. Bok must
ifiel rather silly paying $60,000
fbr a suggestion that the people
•of the United States should do
,,n»w what four years ago they re
fused to do with 7,000,000 votes
to spare.

ple, discussing what they should

the affairs of the United States
to be submitted to a foreign
tribunal.
Mr. Bok can charge his $50,000
to experience.

The British are building the
biggest dam in the world on the
Indus river. It will be a mile
long, nearly a thousand feet high.
' Sixty-six gigantic steel gates will
•control the waters of the Indus,
irrigating a territory, nearly as
great as all England.
One single canal will supply
water to 500,000 acres of rice
land, enough to feed millions of
Hindus.
This kind of building in India
by the British is better than use
■ less monuments that ancient
rajahs used to build for their own
comfort or glory. It’s better than
Gandhi’s suggestion of a boycott
on the English, and going back to
the hand loom. That one single
, British enterprise will do more to
wipe out starvation in India than
••ever was done by all the rajahs
that ever ruled the country. Let
that be remembered to the credit

\
Noted Novelist Offers to Dis
charge Chauffeur Who,
His Wife Charges,
Writer Coveted.
By International Mrwa Swrlft.
New Yi*>rk, Jan. 8.—“Believe You
Me," Nina Wilcox Putnam's next
novel will not he entitled “Ladles and
Their Chauffeurs." although it might
be. Miss Putnam, or Putnam-Sander
son—the verdict is still out—said so
in just those words today.
“I’ll 'discharge Mr. Bassett this
very minute if his wife says so,” Miss
Putnam promised in frank discussion
of the triangular events of her life,
involving Ellsworth F. Bassett, her
six-foot four blond New England
clam digger chauffeur-business agent,
and his little postoffice clerk wife.
"I'm not the kind of a woman who
would rob another woman of her hus
band—please say that for me,” Miss
Putnam insisted.
”1 have cried and cried over this
thing—now’ I am mad, and hurt,”
Miss Putnam said, shaking her be
witching black bob, in which traces
of gray are beginning to show. Fire
flashed from the eyes she inherited
from her Spanish mother.
Can't l nderstaiid.
"I had always thought Gertrude—
that is, Mrs. Bassett—my friend; I
thought so until now. How she can
say these things about me I cannot
understand.
Of course, I say It is unmoral for
man and wife to live together after
love has died—most unmoral. In the
case of the Bassetts, I do not know
If love's there or not—I have never in
quired.”
"I did not ask Gertrude to divorce
her husband and give him to me."
Miss Putnam said. “I flo not be
lieve in divorce—Oh, I know you will
ask how I square that with my writ
Ings for easier divorce.
“Divorce sometimes becomes neces
sary—it became so in my case. The
fault does not lie with marriage. It
is with the people who* marry. If
divorce were easier there would be
less divorce."
Miss Putnam made it clear she was
going to fight.
"Reputation Ruined.’*
“My reputation has been ruined—
ruined by malicious calumny,” Miss
Putnam said. “I want people to know
the truth. Mr. Bassett is Just an em
ploye. I have treated him as such. He
has driven my car and served as my
business agent. I will discharge him
this very minute if Mrs. Bassett says
so. Why I would rather cut off my
right hand than hurl her—or any
woman.”
Miss Putnam said she would confer
with her attorneys today and If
necessary prepare an answer to any
legal action which may be taken by
Mrs. Bassett, alleging alienation of
her husband's affections.
Miss Putnam said she had no Inti
mation of Mrs. Bassett’s charges
when she left Florida, where, with
Bassett, her secretary, and his wife,
she has been wintering at her orange
grove.
"I came home to straighten the
legal tangle of my divorce from my
second husband, B. J. Sanderson.”
Miss Putnam said. Miss Putnam was
granted a divorce at Providence, R.
I., her husband's home. The court
then set the decree aside pending In
vestigation of alleged collusion and
fraud.

Wife of Missing City Official Maintains Lonely Vigil
Waiting Tearfully for Return of Mate She Still Loves
' ' ' —
Mrs. Maybelle MeKean Bossie
Confident Her Husband
Is “Just Around
tbe Corner.."
Ilaybclle McKean Bossie main
tains a lonely vigil by day and by
night for the return of her husband,
Claude F. Bossie, former city clerk,
whose unceremonious leave of a
$300 a month city hall job has taken
the city hall by its ears.
At the Bossie apartment, 2213
Howard street, the husband-bereft
little woman of less than 100
pounds displays remarkable forti
tude. Her love has not yet turned
to hate, but her soul is in conflict
between the love that lingers and a
pent-up feeling of wounded pride.
She refuses to resign herself to the
“shadows and darkness and dust.”
She keeps peering into the 2eene
void of things and hopes and hopes
for the return of her husband.
• “Oh. God, my poor brain; 1 don’t
know if 1 am going to last or not,”
she exclaimed, staunching her tears.
Can’t Forget Him.
“I’m so weary. People tell me
to hold up. That’s easier said than
done. They say I should forget
him; that he isn't worth worrying
over. He was a wonderful husband
to me. I have no regrets that I
married him, although I gave 12 of
the best years of my life to him.”
She paused to observe her pet
canary which chirped merrily as if
to relieve the strain. The telephone
bell rang and a woman offered en
couraging words.
Can a woman think too much of
the man she weds? Mrs. Bossie pon
dered over that thought, of whether
she allowed her love to blind her to
the practical side of things. And she
repeated that she wanted her husband
back and believed that he will come
back.
She glanced furtively out the win
dow as if to recognize someone mov
ing in the distance, and she contin
ued:
“I don't know what has come over
Claude. The poor devil; foolish, fool
ish man. I wonder how his brain is
now, when he realizes he has no job.
I trusted him implicitly. When he left
Mrs. Claude Bossie.
home and told me he was going to a
meeting, I always believed lllm."
Mrs. Bossie was 37 on December
12 and her huaband was 47 on De
cember 11. Bhe stated that their mar
ried life was a continual honeymoon
to about eight months ago, when Mr.
Bossie went on a trip to California
and did not write to her during that
absence of four weeks. She indicated
that It seemed to be the Irony of fate
that Kansas City was the scene of
the genesis of their romance and It
also figured in her shattered romance.
According to city hall confidants of
Mr. Bossie, he made week end trips to
Kansas City to the time of his last
appearance in the city hall on Satur
day morning, December 33.
Went to “Sell Grapes.”
Mrs. Bossie explained that last sum
mer her husband said he went to Kan
sas City to sell grapes for a Califor
nia man. She said she told the grape
story so often to friends that they be
gan to have doubts, whereupon she
discarded the grape story.
The romance of the Bossies dates
hack to Convention hall in Kansas
Citv at the time of the appearance
of the New York Hippodrome show
during Christmas week, 1910. Mrs.
Bossie, as Maybelle McKean, had
been with the show about six
years as dancer and singer and
also in character parts. The show
Norris Farm
Body Approved
Corporation to Buy Products
and Sell Abroad O. K.'d by
Congress Committee.
Hy Awtocistrd I’rw.
Washington, Jan. 8.—Farm aid
legislation was considered today by
the senate and house agriculture
committees, with representatives of
farm organizations in various sec
tions appearing as witnesses.
General approval was given to
the Norris-Sinclair bill proposing
creation of a $100,000,000 corpor
ation to purchase American farm
products and to sell them at home
and abroad. It was argued that
such purchases would have the ef
fect of increasing and stabilizing
prices.
Early action on legislation per
taining to the grazing of livestock
on ranges of the national forests
was forecast today as a result of a
conference between Secretary Wal
lace and senators and representa
tives from western states.
Owing to the depressed condition
of the livestock industry in the
range states. Secretary Wallace
feels tnere should be no advance in
the grazing fees until conditions in
the industry warrants, and it is not
likely any increase will be made
until the grazing season of 1925.
He also las recommended that
grazing on all state and national
nublic lands should be co-ordinated
in the interest of efficiency, and he
desires legislation which would per
mit, under certain conditions, addi
tion to the national forests of con
tiguous unreserved public lands,
chiefly valuable for grazing live
stock. Creation and designation of
national ranges, comprising unre
served public lands, valuable chiefly
for grazing, under the administra
tion of the secretary of agriculture,
also is sought.
Under a resolution ordered ravor
atdy reported today by the senate
agricultural committees, the secre
tary of agriculture would be directed
to determine through the grain fu
tures administration the position on
mbthe wheat market taken by the well
known professional speculator* and
member* of the largo "future*" com
mission houses of the Chicago board
of trade. The findings would he pub
lished.
The resolution recites that since
the supreme court declared the grain
futures set constitutional, meml>*n«
of the Chicago board of trade and
other grain exchanges, with few ex
ceptions, “have systematically op
posed the price of wheat, or In trade
terms, tried to bear the market.”
A. E. Bowen of Minneapolis, rep
resenting the Farmers’ Stabilization
association, told the senate agricul
tural committee that the state of
North Dakota could not be sold for
enough to pay the total indebted
ness, mortgage and bonds. He pic
tured a very serious situation in
the middle and northwestern state*.
Illustrating his point, he said a
Kansas farmer bought a binder In
1901 at u cost equivalent to 120
bushels of wheat, and in 1922 the
same kind of a binder represented
a cost equivalent of 258 bushels of
wheat.
Mr. Bowen told of an instance
where white potatoes were bought
at the farm in the Bed river vnlley
of Minnesota at !15 cents a hundred
pounds and sold wholesale at Rn
linn, Kan., at $1.50 per hundred
pounds. The freight rate, he said,
was 56 cent*, giving the wholesaler
a protit of 00 cent*.
W. W. Kitzwater of Banhsm,
Tex., president of the Fnrm Labor
Union of America, said it was the
purpose of his organization to flx
und control the price of furm prod
ucts. The number of tenant farm
ers in Texas, he said, has increased
by several hundred since 1920 be
cause of the snlA of farms to pay
off mortgages and taxes.
A
Old Painting; Not

of Raphael's “Madonna of th« Hose,"
or possibly the same artist’s ' Ma

noted connoisseur of New York. If an
original Raphael, the piece Is worth
$200,000, Mr. Smith, who has been a
restorer of paintings for the Metro
politan Museum of Art for many
years, estimates.
After a preliminary ejcaimrwtlon.
however, Mr. Smith ventured the
opinion that the picture, done on an
old wooden panel with no trace of
signature does not even belong to
the Rahpael school. He places its
period at 1525 several years after
Raphael's death.V

was booked for the Auditorium
here during January, 1911, and a
publicity feature was an invitation
to Omaha city officials to go to
Kansas City and accompany the
special train to Omaha.
In the party of Omahans was Mr.
Bossie, then dairy and milk inspec
tor. On the stage at Convention
hall Manager McBride introduced
the visitors to members of the com
pany. Maybelle McKean, attractive
little dancer, caught the eye of one
of the Omahans, who remarked that
he believed it would be a clever idea
to steal the cute miss.
“She’s going to be mine,” Bos
sie said in a challenging tone.
Pair Get Chummy.
Enroute to Omaha Bossie and
Miss McKean became chummy.
During the Omaha engagement the
dairy inspector paid gallant atten
tions to the maid from New York.
After a week in St. Paul the show
went to Chicago to play six weeks.
Bossie journeyed to Chicago, where
he stormed the young woman’s
heart and obtained a promise of
marriage. Miss McKean finished
the season with the show, went to
her home in New York for a rest
and came out to Omaha during Sep
tember, when she and Bossie were
married in Mayor Dahlmnn’s office.
“Yes, that is our romance,” Mrs.
Bossie added. “Previous to eight
months ago Mr. Bossie was a de
voted and attentive husband. Many
of my friends remarked that if
their husbands thought as much of
them as Claude seemed to think of
me, they would be happy. We
went everywhere together. I even
made silk shirts for him.”
She looked out of the window
again and remarked that it Mr.
Bossie did not return soon she
would have to think of going to
work, for she did not have funds
to carry her long.
Can’t Go Back.
‘ I am not able to go back to the
show business,” she reflected, ‘‘but
I will do something. I can’t help
having a feeling, however, that
Claude is just around the corner
and will be back tomorrow. Some
thing just tells me he will come
back.” •
The canary chirped again and
Mrs. Bossie brushed away a few
more tears which came from ‘‘a
woman’s heart, a woman’s life and
a woman’s wonderful love.”

Showdown on
I * Bonus Thursday
House (J. O. P. Conference
('ailed—Fight on for
Mellon Tax Hill.
lljr AMwlMtH Tr««.
Washington. J:in. 8.—A showdown
among house republicans on the
soldiers’ bonus was assured today
with issuance of a formal call for a
conference Thursday night for dis
cussion of the question. The call,
sent out by Representative Ander
son of Minesota, chairman of the
conference, was so worded to permit
consideration of taxation and other
pending legislation.
With former set vice tnen in the
house pressing for action on the
bonus before the end of the month,
the republican organization redoubled
its efforts meantime to keep the Mel
ion tax bill from being displaced on
the tentative leg.slative program. The
republican leaders want the ways and
means committee to complete its
adoption of the tax bill before tak
ing up the bonus, but the soldier bloc
intends to introduce at the confer
ence the resolution instructing the
committee to lose no time in report
ing the bonus bill.
Taxes, the soldiers' bonus, farm
aid and Russ a were subjects to
which congress gave its attention to
day, either in debate on the floor
or in committees.
Having* failed to break the dead
lock over the chairmanship of the in
terstate commerce committee yester
day, the senate faced a renewal of
the contest, but with little prospect
of a decision. Senator Smith, demo
crat, South Carolina, continued to lead
yesterday, but with the insurgents
and so-called progressives on the re
publican side supporting Senator
Couzens, republican, Michigan, and
the regulars voting for Senator
Cummins, republican, Iowa, he fell
several voles short of a necessary
majority.

"I was affected with ecrems
Which broke out in a rash. I had
it on my face, behind my ears and
on my limbs. My skin was acre
end ted and my clothing aggravated
it. It itched and burned causing
me to scratch, and sometimes I
could not sleep at night. My face
was disfigured.
“ I finally read an advertisement
for Cuticura Soap and Ointment
and sent for a free sample. I got
relief so purchased more, and after
using one box of Cuticura Oint
ment, with the Cuticura Soso. I
was healed.” (Signed' Miss An ills
