MeNary-Haugen Bill Is Endorsed ^ by Farm Boards Present Conditions Will “De port** American Farmer, Open Letter to Coolidge Declares. Washington, April 6.—Continuation of present unfavorable conditions of American farms will result In a gen eral "deportation” of American farm ers, representatives of several farm organizations 'declared today ut an open letter addressed to “the presi dent, the congress and the people of the United States." Farmers were forced from their homes during 1923 at the rate of 100, 000 per month, the letter said and “the process still Is under way In all its cruelty.” The NcNary-Haugen bill was en dorsed as an emergency relief meas ure. The latter was signed by T. C. Atkeson, Washington representative of th# National Grange; Gray Silver, for the American Farm Bureau fed eration; Jamel R. Riggs, National Livestock Producers' association, and George J. Wett, general manager of the American Wheat Growers’ asso ciation, “Country conditions cannot be told in words,’ the letter said’ “The hun dreds of broken banks are real, but th* suffering which followed them is hidden In the haze of distance. Tin ceasing toll of millions of people, i^.tll* attempt td protect family and property Is lost without recognilon. "The cause Is evident. The remedy la as obvious as the cause. It rests In the application of effective pro tection to the products of the farmer with those of other industry—the esabllshment of domestic markets for farm crops on an American basis, apart from world conditions, to con form with like markets already pro vided for among manufacturers and American labor." The McNary-Haugen bill, the letter said, had aroused opposition from "two powerful groups, one repre sented by Julius H. Barnes, president of the United States Chamber of Com merce, an Important exporter of grain,” and the other consisting of "oold men of figures, ’ who profess to see In this measure for farm relief proposals which are uneconomic and fundamentally unsound.” GUST ROSENSTOCK WED IN MILWAUKEE A marriage license was Issued in Milwaukee, Wls.. yesterday to Gust Roaenstock, who lives at the Black stone hotel, Omaha.

Mystic Cult Where Kings Held Tryst Established •Stiuly in Teiripte | Gnfempfaliort/ (Jeft)a.#A Tkrona trtTcm-pte. || Tlie famous Forest of Fontainebleau, near Paris, where ancient French monarchs held their trysts, now contains a beautiful temple of a new school of the occult, headed by a Greek mystic, and made up of a band of disciples of men and women which includes many of those famous in the old Kussian court and others from s®> ciety life in England. Striving to live a secluded and simple life, they hope to attain "soul emancipation." Only those visitors who wish to Join the cult are permitted to enter. They are received at a beautiful villa, and if they convince the committee they are desirable they are enrolled as members. Within the wood is a gorgeous temple for study and meditation, a unique amphitheatre, with rare carpets and rugs and pillows that will rival any other collection in the world. Architect of Many Soil Mates Back Home Minus Latest Love Frank Lloyd Wright, 55, Man Who Defied Conventions and Left Wife for Other Women, Returns to Bun galow, “Taliesin,” Alone. By International New* Service. Green Springs, Wls., Aprl 1 6 — Spring, with its love fancies is here and so Is that international archi tect and lover, Frank Lloyd W'right, but there is evidently little of the season's urge in Wright’s heart. The man who defied conventions, left his wife In Oak Park, and twice tried love without benefit of clergy, today at the age of 65 is back in his love bungalow, “Taliesin,” alone and ap parently loveless. Althought no word was forthcom ing from the beautiful home tucked away In the shrubbery and trees of the Wright estate, It is reported that Mrs. Maude Mlram Noel, sculptress, who several years ago shared his re treat with him, is In Paris pursuing her art. It was in 1910 that Wright left his wife and six children and went Into retirement in the love bungalow with his first soul mate, Mrs. Mamah Borthwlck Cheney, who left her hus band but took her two children with I her. For five years the couple lived together. Then, In April, 1915, while Wright was In Chicago on business, a crazed negro butler killed Mrs. Cheney and the two children with a hatchet and fired the house. Wright re built the place and short ly after took Mrs. Noel with him to fill the place In hla heart once held by Mr9. Cheney. For a year they were happy. Then a federal Investi gation and widespread public criti cism drove the couple to Japan where Wright built the Imperial hotel, his greatest work and one of the few modern structures which withstood the recent earthquakes. Meantime, In 1922, Mrs. Wright ob tained a divorce on a desertion charge, but Wright and Mrs. Noel, contrary to expectation did not marry. There has been no hint of causes for the seeming breaking of those bonds. Army’s Poison Gas Cures Colds in Head for Congress Members -- Room Equipped at Capitol Where Treatments Given Solons; Senators and Representatives Enthusiastic in Praises of Benefits. _/ I Washington, April 8.—Poison gas which was looked upon with much horror during the war Is proving to be a blessing in disguise and Is re sponsible for recent absence of colds among members of congress. The idea of giving the treatment to members of congress was first sug gested by Brig. Gen. A. A. Fries, of the chemical warfare service, who, testifying before the house military affairs committee, told of benefits of poison gas when properly Inhaled. 6oon after Gen. Fries gave that - - -- testimony plans were made to equip a room at the capitol where the poison gas treatments couhi be given to members of congress. Many senators and members of the house have taken the treatment and are enthusiastic In their praises of Its benefits. However, when Sen ator Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona, proposed to Senator Magnus John son of Minnesota, to Join him In tak lng a poison gas treatment, the Minnesotan balked, saying: "I may be green and a dirt farmer, but I will not fall for such bunk."

Shipment of Hogs by Motor Trucks * J Shows Increase Records Reveal Doubling o( Number of Swine Re ceived in Month of March. Receipts of hogs arriving by truck at the Omaha market during March are more than double the amount re ceived a year ago during same month. Hog shipments by truck are steadily increasing each month and the new unloading chutes and trench pens which will be erected as soon as "Fort Kenyon," the cattle pavilion Is razed, are badly needed to Increase facilities for reception of these large shipments. With good roads throughout the state, the shipper finds It more con venient and cheaper to ship by truck, as his consignment will reach its destination more quickly, because shipments by truck are unloaded and yarded immediately, and delay which often occurs with railroad shipments is avoided. v.

State Representative Tells President. Washington, April 6.—The cry of Governor Preus of Minnesota, that the Insurgent wolf was about to de vour the republican lamb in the northwest was described as a "false alarm” by Representative Larsen of Minnesota, and Toung of North Da kota, who called at the White House today. Larsen carried to the president the word that "Minnesota Is all right," and "i^ill he found In the Coolidge column next ' November." Toung expressed the same view as to North Dakota. Referring to Preus'a fears for the political prospects of the republican party In the northwest, Larsen as serted that the Minnesota governor "imagines that Magnus Johnson Is still chasing him.” "Senator LoFoliette of Wisconsin, Is now the governor’s hob-goblin" explained Larsen. "The governor should not he taken too seriously. He is keenly disap pointed. Having suffered defeat for the senate at the hands of Magnus Johnson, he Imagines that everything is going to the demnition bow-wows.” In Nebraska, Senator Norris of the I^aFollette group, is seeking the re publican senatorial nomination. He is opposed by former Representative Sloan, who has the backing of the administration. The fight thus has become an open test of strength be tween the Coolidge forces and the In surgents. HISTORIC ASTOR HOME TO BE RAZED New York, April 6.—The J7,000,000 mansion of the late John Jacob Astor on Fifth avenue, scene of the most elaborate and historic social gather ings In New York, will be razed to makafB'ay for a modern apartment building, It has been learned. The fate of the magnificent white marble residence, which was built In 1S90, was made known through the filing of plans for the new apartment, to cost $1,800.000, by an architect for Vincent Astor, son of Colonel Astor and present owner of the mansion. It wai understood that the ground covered by the mansions of New York society was appraised so highly that taxes made the cost of maintaining one family house excessive and that many other houses In "millionaires' row" would be supplanted by expen sive apartment buildings. Some of the Astor neighbors already have taken to nearby apartments. LITHUANIANS TO PROTEST NEW BILL Members of the Lithuanian colony will hold a big mass meeting at the New Settlers’ hall.

Whisky Jack, the Canada Jay, own cousin to Sammy Jay, was making himself very much at home around Farmer Brown's augar camp He ap peared to have no Tear at all of Far mer Brown's Boy or Farmer Brown. He was so bold that he did not hesl tete to enter the little sugar house when the door was left open. And such an appetite as he had. lie was h r»oi "That Must Be Hood to Eat,” Thought Whisky Jack. not at all fussy in regard to food. He picked up all the scraps he could find, and he appeared to take great delight in trying new things. Fanner Brown's Boy enjoyed hav ing Whisky Jack about. His Impu dence and boldness tickled Farmer Brown's Boy. He talked to Whisky Jack as ho went about his work. Of course. Whisky Jack didn't under stand him, but that made no differ ence. Whisky Jack watched every move that Farmer Brown’s Boy made, and followed him about as he collect ed the sap from the trees. One noon Fanner Brown's Boy washed his hands In preparation for dinner. The wash basin was on an old stump just outside the sugar house. When he was through with the cake of soap he put It on the stump beside the wash basin. No sooner had Farmer Brown's Boy gone Into the sugar house than Whisky Jack flew down to that stump. His sharp eyes had noticed that cake of soap. It was white. It looked good. "That must be good to eat," thought Whisky Jack. “I don’t know what It Is, but It certainly looks good. “I’ll try It. Everything I've tried so far has been good, and this must be good.” He perked at it lightly. It was a little harder than he had expected. He picked It up and flew over to a tree where he could eat It at hts ease. It was rather slippery, but he got a firm hold with his claws and then he drove his bill into it and got a good mouthful. Such a funny look of surprise and disappointment and disgust ss swept over ths fare of Whisky dark. He dropped lb" soap and did hla best to spit out what he hod tn his mouth. He didn't Ilk* the taste of that aoap at all! It stuck to his bill, and he wiped his bill vigorously on the branch. Still that unpleasant taate remained. He flew to another hranrh and did the same thing. Still that taate remained. From branch to branch he flew, and from tree to tree, stopping each time to wipe his bill on the branch. And how he did scold! It was funny. You see, Whisky Jack blamed Farmer Brown’s Boy. He thought Farmer Brdwn's Boy had played a trick on him. He didn't once consid er that he had been meddling with something he had no business to med dle with. That didn't even enter his head. So he blamed Farmer Brown's Boy, and in his own language he called Farmer Brown's Boy ail the bad things he could think of. It didn’t make him feel any better to see Farmer Brown's Boy standing in the doorway laughing at him. This made him angrier than ever. He was disgusted with the bad taste in his mouth and angry to think that he had been so badly fooled by a thing that looked so nice. He was so up set that he decided right then and there that he would leave the sugar camp. So the last Fanner Brown's Boy saw of Whisky Jack was as he disappeared among the trees, scolding and stopping every few seconds to wipe his bill on a branch. (Copyright, 1924.)

Would you put the money in the bank and draw interest or would you invest it in Omaha so that the city could have added pros perity and grow bigger and better? Omaha is growing bigger and better. There is no question about that. In order to keep pace with this development and still main tain its present high standard of service, the Nebraska Power Company has had to make ex tensive improvements. These improvements, to be car ried out during the present year, will cost more than $3,000,000. There is no kind stranger on hand to give us $3,000,000. The company has to go out in the open market and borrow the money by selling its securities. Every cent of this $3,000,000 will be spent for the necessary improve ments. Additions are now being made to the power plant, new sub-stations and other buildings are being erected; new electric cables and lines are being laid; new additions are being furnished with electric service so that Omaha can spread and grow. Our Company differs from nearly all industries since it not only must keep pace with the growth of our community, but must also build for future development.
