Farmer Advised to Sell Slowly •» < by Business Men • Urged Not to Rush Grain to Market and Break Pres ent Profitable Price. (Continued from Pare One.) growers to hold their crop and spread the deliveries over a longer period of time, thus conforming to the op erations of the law of supply and de mand. Lincoln hankers and state officers agree with Omahans as to the ad visiblilty of marketing with caution. Morehead Sees Price Rise. "I certainly would advise every farmer who can do no to hold at least Mi per cent of his present wheat crop,” said M. Weil, president of the National Bank of Commerce, Lincoln. “And the farmer who has old corn in his crib should hold all of it. We have two months yet in which to learn whether we are going to have a good corn crop. As good ns it can possibly be it is going to be short, with the danger of none of it being good for seed. Old corn will certainly not be less than it is now, and if our corn crop is short or worthless as seed, then the old crop will bring a big price. The danger is In the specu lative element. Some may be tempted to hold on too long. But as a general proposition, the farmer who can hold on to his wheat for a while and then sell it slowly, will make a good profit." John H. Morehead, representative in congress from the First Nebraska district, believes that every assistance should be extended to the farmer to enable him to hold his wheat for a while and not rush it to market at once. He believes that In view of con ditions the price of wheat and corn will rise, especially corn. "The farm ers should hold most of their wheat for a while yet,” said Mr. Morehead, “and then let go of it gradually. It is the dumping from thresher to buy er that depresses tho price.” Pool Advises Holding On. “I advise my farmer friends to hold on to most of their wheat for a while,” said Secretary of State Pool. “I will have a little wheat, and I am going to follow my own advice. I helieve it would be a good thing for the banks to extend all possible as sistance In this matter.” L. C. Chapin of the Central Na tional bank, Lincoln, said he thought supply and demand would regulate the price despite all other efforts. He wop id not commit himself further than to say that It was human nature always to want Just a little bit more than the market offered. If the price went up past the $1.50 mark it would ho human nature to hold for $1.65, and so on. South Platte In Good Shape. W. B. Kyons of the First National hank, Lincoln, said the farmer who had old corn in his crib was pretty apt to be on easy street. But he said it would be a good idea to hold on to it at least for a couple of months. ”1 think it v. ould be wise for the farmer who can, to hold at least a goodly portion of his wheat,” said Mr. Ryons. "I am not familiar with conditions in the N^rth Platte coun try, but in the South Platte country our farmers are in pretty good shape, despite all reports to the contrary. The one or two in the community v. ho have been foreclosed or crowded too often have been taken as a sam ple of the whole community. The fact that the bank deposits today are larger than they have been for years ought to go a long ways towards re futing the stories of distress and bankruptcy. The farmer who can hold his wheat a while certainly will not lfise by It, and he may gain a lot. A great deal depends on his Judgment about the right time to sell. Spread ing the wheat deliveries out over a > longer period will certainly have the effect of stabilizing the price." . Sliuniway Doubtful. "Every possible aid should be ex tended to farmers who need aid to mak$ it possible for them to hold their wheat," said a prominent financier who declined to permit tho use of his nam?. "I am satisfied that wheat and corn will command a much higher price, especially wheat, if some way can be devised to prevent its being dumped on the market from tho threshers. "It is natural that some speculators will endeavor to force the price down, hoping that many farmers will be forest to sell at any price In order to take up past due obligations. Then these speculators can take advantage of the long price that Is sure to come when tho bulk of the wheat has been dumped. I want to see the farmers, not the elevator men, get the profits. And profits are sure to be better than for several years if the farmers can hold on. Those who cannot hold on without help should have that help extended to them without delay." "I hardly know what to say,” said Grant L. Shumway, secretary of agri culture in Governor Bryan s cabinet. ■I am quite a hand to take a profit, and $1-15 Is a pretty good price for wheat. Of course I would like to see It go higher, but it may not." SCIENCE INTO BLOOD TESTS London, July 20.—Remarkable and far-reaching discoveries about the human blood have been made ns a result of recent researches, according to scientific authorities. It Is stated that tests initiated shortly after the world war have conclusively proved that the human racer Is divided Into, roughly, four main blood groups, and that this dis covery will have a very important hearing on blood transfusion, an oper ation which Is becoming more and more frequent In cases of dire neces sity. Scientists also believe that the new discovery may throw freHh light on the ancestry of man, and will also possibly have some bearing on the proving or disproving of legitimacy.

By KENNETH CLARK. International New* Service Staff Corre spondent. Washington, July 20.—With Sena tor Burton K. Wheeler, democrat, of Montana* selected as his running mate, Robert M. La Follette's Inde pendent drive for the White House got away to a fast start here when definite plans were announced for launching Immediately an Inten sive campaign all over the country. In formally accepting the vice presidential post, Wheeler savagely denounced both the republican and democratic parties as “subservient to great predatory interests," and charg ed their nominees with "bearing the brand of the dollar sign.” Wheeler's acceptance was contained In a letter to William H, Johnston, chairman of the Conference for Progressive Poli tical Action, which, at La Follette's request, had offered him the nomina tion. Shortly after Wheeler took the post, both he and La Follette, after a conference, declared they would wage a nation-wide stumping campaign that will carry them into practically every state in the union. Their first efforts will be concentrated in the so-called "enemy territory" of the east, but both hope to reach the Pa cific coast in an intensive swing westward before election time. La Follette "Tickled." "I am tickled to death." was La Follette's laconic reply when he first learned that Wheeler would accept. Later, he issued a formal statement praising Wheeler s "courage, ability, Integrity and patriotism, and declar ing "his candidacy will add tremen dous strength to the progressive ticket in every state.” La Follette's optimism was shared by every member of the progressive conference which tonight closed its two-day session, after formulating plans for raising funds for the cam paign and perfecting organization de tails. Although bolting Davis and Gov ernor Charles W. Bryan, Wheeler an nounced "he did not abandon faith In the democracy of Thomas Jeffer son." "I am a democrat, but not a Wall street democrat." Visit Conference. La Follette and Wheeler late Sat urday went to the Machinists' build ing and greeted the members of the progressive conference. Henry Rosenfelt. New York, was appointed by the conference as finan cial campaign director, to work with Herman M. Ekem, attorney general of Wisconsin, In collecting funds. Rosenfelt promised he would raise $3,000,000. On Labor day. Rosenfelt said he would ask all members of la bor organizations to work and turn over their wages for that day to the La Follette chest. By this plan, he added, he expected to raise sufficient funds to finance the whole La Fol lette campaign. JAP WOMEN WORK WHILE MEN FISH By International Mews Service. Toklo, July 20.—“Tho women <lo the work thut under present day so cial standards falls on the shSulders of men. The men fish at night and sleep all day. The island is covered with forests of boxwood, all of which Is common property. The chief occu pations are tho felling of these trees and tho export to Japan of hand made combs made on the Island.” Thus reads a report of a traveler who recently returned to Toklo from Mlktirashlma, the most remote of tho seven Islands of the Izu peninsula, In southern Japan. The Japan tourist bureau In Toklo has received numer ous applications from various classes of Japunoso ns a result of th; publi cation of tho above description In sev eral of the vernaculnr newspapers In Toklo. Upward of 100 Japanese tour ists are said to have visited Mlkura shlma as a result of the report of the traveler and to have caused some surprise to the residents In tho place, which normally Is Isolated.

Chicago, July 20.—Nathan Leopold. Jr.,* and Richard Loeb, millionaires' sons who say they kidnaped and kill ed Robert Franks, a neighbor, for ex citement, have confessed another slaying and mutilation operation, the Herald-Examiner this morning says it has learned from a source close to the two boys. The alleged confession was not made to the state, the paper said, but was told to attorneys for the defense and alienists. The defense may make the alleged confessions public at the trial, the newspaper says. In order to show, It was said, that the boys are mental ly unbalanced. The slaying, to which police have no clue, Is that of Freeman L. Tracy, a university student, who was shot, beaten and hurled from an automo bile In the south part of the city. He had been to a dance and a friend ) had taken him by automobile to the Midway Plalsance. He had started' to walk from there to his home, sup posedly. Nothing more Is known of his movements until his body was found the next morning. Chauffeur Victim Chloroformed. The other crime was the mutila tion of Charles Ream, taxicab driver, who was held up at the point of pistols by two men, whom he de scribes as “a couple of college boys.” taken to a prairie and chloroformed. When he awakened he was in In tense pain, and it was only after he had crawled five blocks to a tele phone and summoned aid that he knew the serious result of the ex periment performed on him. When Leopold and Loeb were helng questioned In the state’s attorney's office at the time of the Franks slay ing, Ream was led to the prosecutor’s office and there, seeing the two boys being taken out, screamed, “those are the two. They did It. I’m sure. Oh, I’d never forget their faces.” The authorities, however, were skeptical. Chief of Detectives Hughes said: “We are not going to pay any at tention to these rumors and other ‘Identifications.’ ” Preliminary motions In the Loeb Leopold trial will be heard on Mon day. The trial Is set to open Au gust 4. Preparations for the trial were be ing rounded Into shape under the greatest secrecy by both the defense and the state. Rumors of some sort of a surprise move by the defense on Monday were circulated today but at torneys refused to comment on the reports. The basis of the defense, they Indicated, might be a plea of compound insanity, that the youths alone were Incapable of crime but that together, their mental processes were such as to make them danger ous. Children Barred. It has already been ruled that boys and girls will not be admitted to the trial. Out-of-town writers are a! ready arriving here to cover the pro ceedings. Lawyers tonight In discussing the probable result of Monday’s hearing said the next move Is naturally up to the defense, and that there are 12 motions the defense attorneys are likely to consider. They are: 1. A motion to quash the Indict ments charging kidnaping for ransom and murder. This is likely as a mat ter of record. 2. Motion to determine the state furnish a full list of Its witnesses, also probable as a matter of record. 3. Motion for a continuance, which defense attorneys are considering. 4. Motion for a special sanity hear ing preliminary to the trial. 5. Motion for a change of venue from the court of Justice John R. Caveney of the criminal court to an other court In Cook county. 6. Motion for a change of venue to a court In another county. 7. Motion to exclude certtaln evi dence on the ground that It Is Illeg ally obtained. This might refer to the boys’ confessions, lawyers said. 8. Motion for a severance of the trials of the two. 9. Motion to take the case out of Illinois Jurisdiction and compel the state to prove venue on the ground that the Franks boy may have been killed in the state of Indiana and his body brought back here. 10. Motion for an Immediate trial. 11. Motion to admit the accused to ball. 12. Plead the boys guilty as charged. A newspaper conducting a canvass of Its readers on a proposal to radio cast the trial, announced that of 8,137 opinions received, 4,774 were against the proposal. No Change of Venue. Chicago, July 19.—As the lines of preparation for the now Interna- j tlonally famous Loeb-Leopold trial were drawing to a close In readiness for tho hearing of preliminary mo tions scheduled for Monday, attorneys for Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, confessed slayers of Robert Franks, 13-year-old achool boy, de cided not to ask for a trial outside of Cook county. Clarence Harrow, chief of the defense counsel, made this announcement today. They will carry on their battle for the lives of their clients, sons of mil lionaires, In the local courts, but may ask for another month’s delay. Speculation wna rife today on a rumored surprise which Harrow wna said to havo had "up his sleeve.” It was believed tho veteran attorney might spring the sensation of the age by attempting to prove that the crime which the boys are to stand trial, occurred across the Indiana boundary line. Hia later announcement, how ever, somewhat dispelled this con jecture. A sergeant and 10 patrolman will he stationed about Judge Caverley’s courtroom when tho trial opens Mon day morning to assist the sheriff and his staff in maintaining order. Tha Instructions will Include the exclu sion of minors from the courtroom. .White and Red Harmony. A white aecordeon pleated gown with a red girdle, bearing the mark of I’olret, was much admired.

During the long, cold winter no one had fared better from the bounty of Farmer Brown's Boy than had Happy Jack Squirrel. Every day he had come over'from the Green forest and spent much of his time around Farmer Brown’s house. Farmer Brown's Boy is very fond of Happy Jack Squirrel. So Is Mrs. Brown, and so Is Farmer Brown. So all three were delighted to have the handsome, gray-coated, bushy-tailed little friend of the Green forest make his dally visit. Every day some special tld-blt was put out for Happy Jack Squirrel. Often he would come right In the house If the window was raised for him. But he always took pains to make sure that Black Pussy the Cat ■ Brown’s Boy. “Am I seeing double?” was not In the room. Before the win ter was over Happy Jack seemed like one of the family. He seemed just as much one of the family ns did Black Pussy or Bowser the Hound. But with the coming of spring Happy Jack's visits were less fre quent. On some days he didn't come at all. Farmer Browns Boy had missed him for several days. Then early one morning he discovered Happy Jack frisking about In a maple tree close to the house. Happy Jack seemed to be In high spirits. He seemed to be bubbling over with Joy. Farmer Brown’s Boy had seen him very happy before, but never quite as happy as he appeared this morning. Farmer Brown's Boy went back into the house to get a special tid-blt for Happy Jack's breakfast. When he came out and looked up In the maple tree he rubbed both eyes. Yes, sir, he did just that. He rubbed them twice. Then he looked again and rubbed them for a third time. “Gra cious!" exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. "Am I seeing double? It looks to me as If there are two Happy Jacks up In that tree." It did look that way. for there was another Gray Squirrel up there. When Farmer Brown's Boy saw them close together he say that this second Squirrel was a little smaller than Happy Jack. Then he guessed right away who It wag. It was Mrs. Happy Jack. Y'es, sir, that Is who It was. Happy Jack had found a mate over In the Green forest, and he had brought her over to Farmer Brown’s. Happy Jack ran over to Farmer Brown's Boy and took some of the food from his finger*. Then he scam pered back to the maple tree. Mrs. Happy Jack w'ns bashful, nr perhaps she was timid. Though Farmer Brown s Boy coaxed and coaxed, she wouldn't come down from the maple tree. No. sir, she wouldn't come from that tree. Then Happy Jack began to coax. He would run down the tree half way to Farmer Brown’s Boy, then back up tho tree to Mrs. Happy Jack. He did It over and over again. It was plain that be was trying to make her understand that everything was safe und all right. But Mrs. Happy Jack couldn't get Sp her courage to come down from the tree, so Farmer Brown's Boy left some food whero she could get It and went back to the house. Ho wondered If Happy Jack and Mrs. Happy Jack would go back to the Green forest to stay. Copyright, 1924. The next story: "A Happy Surprise for Farmer Brown's Boy."

V Shaver Assumes Active Charge of Demo Campaign New Chairman‘‘of National Committee Picks Up Reins of War Chariot. By GEORGK VV. ’UNMAN, ,|R. Unlverslnl Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, July 20.—Clem L. Shaver of West Virginia who leil the fight for the nomination of John W. Davis for the presidency, has taken charge of the democratic national campaign. His formal election as chairman of the democratic national committee will take place In Clarksburg, Just before Mr. Davis Is formally notified on August 11 that he is the democratic presidential candidate. Shaver succeeds Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who announced his with drawal In a statement lauding his successor as "an exceptionally able man.” Main headquarters for the demo cratic campaign. Shaver said, will be maintained In Chicago and New York. Regional Headquarters. In addition, he said, there will be regional headquarters, at least one In the far west, and one In the south. The national committee headquarters in Washington will be continued, and Shaver will divide the greater part 'of his time between the national capi tal and the two main headquarters. An executive advisory campaign committee Is expected to assist In the management of the pre-election con test. The personnel of this committee, Shaver said, is yet to be determined. Financial problems too, Shaver said, have not been passed upon. The identity of the treasurer and the others who will be called upon to raise funds for the campaign will be determined In the near future. Mrs. Blair Retains Post. .-. Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, now vice chairman of the national committee, retains her post for the present, but there were indications that she would be replaced. After his meeting with party lead ers who will serve on his board of strategy throughtout the pre-elec tion contest. Shaver left for Clarks burg. He expects to return to Wash ington on Monday to take up the task of selecting the personnel for the campaign battle. NOMINEE PROBLEM PERPLEXES DEMOS (Continued from Page One.) cock Mullen crowd to the political kingdom come. ’ It is all so sweetly mixed. Out-state democrats declare that an Omaha democrat couldn't win a-tall. Omaha candidates and their friends argue to the contrary. Rea! Demns Spurn la Follette. Democrats who want to win at any sacrifice of party honor say that no candidate unsatisfactory to the La Follette followers can win. Democrats who are democrats In fact as well as In name, declare that victory writh a candidate of that ilk would be a hollow mockery. The Hltchcock-Mullen crowd, smart ing under recent insults, declare ven geance. Bryan, so long In supreme command, insists on being allowed continued absolute sway, regardless of what happens to the party organi zation. Meeting no Tea Party. If Bryan is really in earnest in wanting to elect the man named by the committee he will insist on Nor ton. If he is not in earnest he may still pretend that he insists on Nor ton but bow in seeming submission and accept McDonald. If the Hitch cock Mullen fellows are in earnest they will throw the hooks into Nor ton and insist on McDonald. And both factions know full well that no man who falls to appeal to the ex treme La Follette crowd can come within gunshot of defeating Adam McMullen. Both factions know, too, that even with the I-a Follette en dorsement it is going to be a consld able chore to defeat the Beatrice man. The meeting of the democratic stale ticket next Thursday Is not going to resemble a Sunday school convention. It will be a poor place to study eti quette or crocheting. A strange Irishman happening in Just after the committee is called to order is likely to inquire of some by stander: "Is this a private foight, or kin anybody git in?" SEAMAN’S SOUL GOES TO BIRD By International New* Service. Los Angeles, July 20.—There is a superstition of the deep that when a seaman diea his soul enters the body of a gull. The superstition assumed a new color when the Panama Pacific liner Manchuria arrived here from New York bearing the body of one of her men and, In an adjoining cabin, a bird of brilliant plumage, which myste riously came out of the air the morn ing after the man died. It was while the Manchuria was far off tho coast of Mexico that Cornelius Van Rce, assistant baker, died. A few hours later the bird np pen red. Members of the Manchuria's crew say their new mascot la the reincar nation tif Van Rce. and that It came In some other form than a gull be cause the dead man was not a sea ■ nan. NEB Y'nlikc Aspirin t docs not de* press the heart 25 f a box - ___ - - -A § Investigation Proves Motorists Careless at Railroad Crossings .______j Do you stop, look and listen before crossing railroad crossings? A very large majority of persons neither stop nor look, according to a survey Just completed by the Bur lington railroad. The survey does not specify about the listening, probably because the observer was unable to determine Just how much listening was being done. It does reveal some startling facts, however, especially In view of sev eral recent and tragic crossing acci dents. , The observer placed himself at a crossing of the D. L. D. highway over the main line of the Burlington railroad, about four miles east of Ashland, Neb. It was on July 2, a bright day, when scores of cars were on the roads. And during the 10 hours which the observer spent at the crossing, 445 automobiles and trucks passed over it. Majority Prove Careless. Of this large number, 255 drivers failed to look either way; 91 drivers looked only one way and 99 sane, cautious drivers actually looked both ways before crossing, but without bringing their cars to a stop. The observer had spent an hour or more at the crossing, and had almost decided that caution is a dead quality ir. this world of speed, when a driver stopped at the crossing and looked both ways before driving over it. Only seven other drivers had the patience to take tills precaution dur ing the 10 hours he was on duty. Two near tragedies occurred dur ing the 10 hours of observation. Once a family party in a closed car was driving at rapid speed toward the crossing. A local passenger train, traveling at about the same speed, also was nearing the crossing. The driver looked neither to right nor left, nor did he slacken his speed. He had apparently failed to hear the shrill whistle of the engine. When he was but 15 feet from the crossing the engineer cut loose with another shrill whistle, attracting the driver just in time to enable him 10 bring his car to a screeching, skidding stop a few feet from the train as tt roared past. e Carelessness Predominates. It required both the engineer’s whistle and the frantic waving of the observer to stop a man, driving rapid ly toward the crossing and destruc tion a little later in the afternoon. Other notes made by the observer at the crossing show that not a sin gle horse-drawn vehicle passed over the crossing; that a boy riding a mule neither stopped, looked nor listened; that one motorcycle driver was equal ly indifferent about an approaching train; that three Uncoin-Omaha busses failed to stop, although one slowed down at the crossing; that one car was driven by a small boy of about 10, and that engineers on ail passing trains whistled long and loudly as they approached tho cross ing. Newspapers to Aid. "I am Intensely Interested In the careful crossing campaign,” said E. Flynn, general manager of Rurllng ton lines west, who had the observa tion made. "So many reports come to me of auto accidents at crossings which show such utter disregard on the part of the driver to the most simple rules of safety, that we must look to our representative newspapers tr correct the evil. “I recall just now two or three cases where automobiles were driven into the sides of our trains. In one case I remember the auto struck the baggage car and in another case^ the auto struck a coach on a passen ger train, and we have almost any number of cases where cars ran into the side of the engine, rather than being struck by the engine." AERODROME FOR TOKIO IS ASKED Toklo, July- 20.—Increased demands for the establishment of a central aerodrome In Toklo have been brought before the military authorities and the members of the imperial diet re cently. The arrival of the American fliers in Tokio, the trip of Captain D'Oisy, the French flyer, and the knowledge of a general Increase In world Interest In aviation has caused the authorities here to bring out the plan submitted last year for a central aerodrome in the heart of the city of Tokio. and a place for water landing to be reserved at the mouth of the Sumida river, near Tokio. The original plan, proposed by a member of the military staff last year, was said to have been advanced for the Improvement of Japan’s aviation section by the interesting of more young Japanese army men in the aviation end of army work. • HUSBAND HUGS TOO TIGHTLY FOR WIFE l.os Angeles.

Former Nebraskan: Leaps Out Window Ex-Official of Lincoln Leaves | Check for Funeral; Falls Nine Stories. Los Angeles, July 20.—After writ ing a personal check to defray fu neral expenses and leaving a will disposing of his effects, F. W. Hell- ! wig, 80, ex-city deputy treasurer of ! Lincoln, Neb., and a warm personal j friend and supporter of William Jen- j nings Bryan, leaped from a window. on the ninth floor of the Stillwell hotel, where he had lived for several; years, crashed on to the roof of a Grand avenue garage and died in stantly. No motive couid be discovered for the obviotis suicide, but it was be lieved by police to have resulted from worry of the Nebraskan over what he considered unmerited rebuffs to his old friend Bryan In the recent demo cratic convention.

Y., society woman. Attorneys who filed the suit for Mrs. G1U refused to state the nature of the case but it was reported to be an action for breach of promise. Mr. Priestley eharacterlzer the suit as "blackmail.'' "I have known Mrs. GUI for many years,” he said. 'I knew that she and her mother came here last week to attend a muslcale. I certainly had not expected a suit of any kind and our relations certainly never have justified a breach of promise suit, if that is the nature of this one.” Priestley was a friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt and was chair man of the finance committee In the late Mr. Roosevelt's campaign for president on the Progressive ticket of 1912. While holding this position, he said, he had made it posible for Mrs. Gill to engage In politics. His wi* died last February and he declared he had never proposed marriage to Mrs. Gill.
