With the solemn rites of the church and the swelling bugle notes of the soldier's requiem, lie was laid In mar ble to begin his tlmelesis, honored sleep. In the house where he lived his last days and gave up his soul at last to his Maker simple services were said in the presence of his family and close friends and a select company of officials who had come to symbolize the grief of the government he served so long. On the sturdy shoulders of men who went to war at his command, be was carried tenderly forth to make his pilgrimage to the place of entomb ment. At the cathedral where his broken body was laid to rest there was another service, almost as plain, but attended by others who had sought the privilege of honoring him. Among them were many who speak for the great governments of the earth. Honored as t nknown Soldier. But only the sorrowing widow and a little circle of other relatives saw ilie last ceremony of entombment. The funeral services over, the chapel was cleared while the great stone slab that seals the crypt was lifted from Its place to receive him. At the moment he was lowered Into the hall of his long sleep, an army bugler, tho same who sounded taps over the I,'nknown Soldier at Arling ton. stepped before the chapel en trance and the soft notes of taps rose to the gray sky. Thus did the nation, at last, find pi way to say a national farewell to lorn who had guided Its dsstinies lb rough such troubled years but who i-iid asked .that there be no pomp of Kate ceremony when 'he was con -igned to rest.

Thia ia a question propounded by many i uoughtful men. The anawers are aa numerous as the men making answer, each answer depending largely upon the mental attitude of the man. Perhaps the keenest analysis and th" most comprehensive answer Is -,'lven by Edwfn O. l’lnkham, well known editor and publisher. In a series of articles to be pub lislied In The Omaha Bee he traces government from the time when It was an ordinance of kings down to mir present system of representative government. Then he keenly analyzes the situations that havs arlaen In the political and economic history of this republic, lie explains clearly why the federal powers havs grown . ml the state powers declined, and concludes with a comprehensive sr ttole dealing with "the only material of which a nation ever can he made.” This series of articles Is so com prehensive, so Illuminating, so In structive, that The Omaha Bee has arranged for their serial publication. Beginning Sunday ths Initial chap ter will be printed on page one of the nialfi news section. Each day thereafter until the series Is com pleted, It will appear on the editorial page. Patriotic citizens who are anxious to learn what Is best to do to bring back government to the people and to preserve tbs liliertles won by so much sacrifice, should read and wligest them fully. < The Bee believes that It Is per forming a distinct service to Its read ers In giving these splendid articles from Mr. Plnkham's pen a wide elr < ulat Ion Mrs. Irene Buell, Ashland Lawyer, / Married to Retired Farmer, 78 Ttfrs*.

Feb. 6.—Better mar kets for American products through "honorable settlements abroad" was set forth as the purpose of the emer gency foreign policy conference which announced its organization here to day with a membership including members of the senato and house and officials of farm labor and women’s organizations. ^ A moratorium for Germany, "rea sonable" reparations payments, evac uation of the Ruhr by France, opposi tion to increasing military rivalries, support of tlie republican form of gov ernment in Germany, and appropria tions for starving populations were announced as the chief policies ad vocated by the conference. Senators listed as included in the national committee of the conference are: Magnus Johnson, farmer-labor of Minnesota: Frazier and I.add, republi cans, North Dakota; Howell, republi can, Nebraska, and Wheeler, demo crat, Montana. The committee also included eight members of the house. Money Lenders Not Benefited by Credit Bank Federal Institution Aims to Encourage Production and Marketing of F’arm Products. The purpose of the Intermediate Credit bank is not so much to pay off creditors of the farmer as It Is to tide the farmer over a difficult period, according to F. W. Clarke of the Intermediate Credit bank at Omaha. "The big object of the bank." said Mr. Clarke, "is not assistance to banks, rich men, money lenders or poor men, but to encourage produc tion and marketing of livestock and agricultural products. "laws under which the l>ank oper ates specifically states that It shall be used for aid of producing and marketing. For example, we cannot lend to grain elevators—their officers are not producers, on'y marketers." The Federal land bank serves a slightly different purpose. In this organization, the object Is to supply the farmer money on one-half the value of the land he will encumber to pay off short-time loans which come due before he Is able to come out from under them. "The farmer Is not making many new debts,'' said P. P. Hogan, presi dent of the Federal land bank. "What he is trying to do is to pay off old debts, t'nder our form of loan, the debt conies due in 34 years. At a low rale of interest, and with a small ainTiunt of the principal which be Is able to pay each year, at the end of the 34 years the debt Is ab sorbed. This long loan enables him to work his way out of debt without taking so much money from him annually. He will not be forced out of business, which >s sometimes the case In other typed of short loans. "At the same time, we ask the farmer's creditors to extend the time of their loans to him."
