^ Australian Wheat
f Probed by Baruch

Council; May Stimulate
Protection Campaign.

1 iilvernai berries Stuff Correspondent.
London, Sept. 4.—Bernard Barurh
lias been In London thin week inves
tigating Australian wheat pools. Uni
versal Service understands he has
cabled the American council of agri
culture, formed at St. Paul in July,
last, the results of his inquiry. He
particular!'' directed the attention of
the council to the offer made by
Premier Bruce of Australia, to the
four wheat growing states of the
commonwealth to co-operate in volun
tary wheat pools.
These pools would run for three
years with one selling organization
for overseas sales, and one charter
ing agency for control of shipping
and freight arrangements.
Premier Bruce said the common
wealth and state governments would
Jointly guarantee up to 80 per cent
of the export market price.
Seen today on the eve of his de
parture for Scotland, Baruch ad
mitted his Interest In this develop
ment, and said It was of the greatest
importance, but declined to comment
further.
mfP Pools Described.
' It is believed here that /Tflstrnlia's
action will stimulate American farm
ers In a campaign for a protective
system such as has already been con
ceded tb industry. They will demand
the establishment of a single organi
zation for control of the price of
home consumed wheat and the price
of the exportable surplus sold In
cither countries.
How the pools have helped Aus
tralian farmers for many years was
described to Universal Service today
by one of the leading common
wealth operators In the London
wheat pit. He said:
"We have long had state and com
munity pools designed to give the
farmer a steady Income and protect
him from market fluctuations. The
commonwealth's offer of state back
ing is helpful hut not essential. In
fact, many farmers distrust the In
tervention of state machinery.
Have Never Failed.
"Already the banks are bound to
finance the operations of pools of
wheat and other produce. At the
present moment farmers working
through those independent pools are
given three shillings on every bushel
delivered to the railroads. The pool
guarantees an eight pence a bushel
shipping rate to ports. The farmer
afterward Is allowed a percentage In
any price in excess of three shillings,
eight pence per bushel realized In the
foreign markets.
"The pooling system has never
fulled to work to the advantage of
the farmers and we are watching
with deep interest attempts of Ameri
can farmers to do what we have al
^ready done—establish one organiza
for marketing the surplus of
wheat abroad at a price fixed In ac
cordance witli world crops.
"The matter is one of greatest In
terest to the world. If the eampalgri
of the American farmers succeeds
oilier wheat exporting countries will
follow suit until eventually we will
find a single international body con
trolling the price of wheat sold In
countries unable to grow a crop large
enough to support themselves.”

No Longer Suffers
From Asthma
William F. McKinley
^ After suffering from asthma for fifteen
■o an, W illiam F. McKinley, 502 Marion
^ Avenue, Indianapolis, states that he has
liail no signs of asthma since he began
taking Nacor. He tells of his recovery as
follows:
"I had been a sufferer from asthma for
fifteen years. Was unable to do any work
for four or five months in a year, had to
sit in a chair for weeks, unable to lie
down. I tried different medicines, but
they did me very little good. I com
menced taking Nacor last September and
I hadn't taken a half bottle until I could
la. down and rest at night. I have had no
sigjfc of asthma since I commenced taking
Nscc."- and I praise it for what it has done
for me. I reram mend it to all sufferers
from asthma and bronchitis and will
gladly answer any letter of inquiry when
postage is furnished.”
Records show that former users of
Nacor advise that they have had no re
turn of their trouble. It should do the
same for you.
“The Health Question” is a booklet
which contains photos, testimonials and
valuable information regarding the use of
Nacor in the treatment of asthma, bron

Not Much of-It.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE

The prince of Wales danced until
5 in the morning Tuesday and
until 6 in the morning yesterday.
He played polo, went fox hunting
as soon as ne finished dancing, be
fore the sun was un, and still had
time and energy to write to his
father and mother by the Beren
garia, sailing yesterday.
That’s the news about him, in
case you keep track of him.
The prince of Wales does not ex
clude all Americans from the front
pages of daily newspapers. We
also honor our own national heroes.
Jack Dempsey, champion American
prize fighter, gets on the front page
when he announces his engagement
to a young moving picture actress.
A French collector of antiques
says he has the head of Henry IV,
most popular king of France,
bought for 100 francs, about ?5.
Embalming, according to the
medico formula, it was necessary
to cut off the king’s head. Some
body got it out of the tomb at St.
Denis when the revolutionists
opened the royal sepulchers and
kicked the bodies around.
Nobody fortunately got the head
of the good St. Denis himself, the
remarkable head, that, after it had
been cut off, the saint carried in
his arms all the way from St. Denis
to Paris, according to the legend,
thus establishing his miraculous
powers.
One museum in Paris has Vol
taire's heart, preserved. You might
huy the heads of several French
kings from the French republic for
less than the price they would ask
for that withered old heart. There
are plenty of kings, few Voltaires
Always more war. The war in
China has really begun, civil war.
The rival armies are fighting, Amer
ican and British troops are guard
ing the city of Pekin, French, Eng
lish and American warships are
on hand to protect Europeans.
Georgia and Azerbaijan are in
revolt. Many are wounded and
killed in five days’ fighting. That’s
the Georgia across the ocean, of
course—and it’s the Azerbaijan
gentlemen rebelling against the
soviet. There is fighting in Batum,
where the oil wells are.
Who is financing the fighting?
To many good patriots it seems
wrong to let bolshevist* have any
oil wells. The Lord certainly didn’t
put oil in the ground for them.
Who do you think will be
elected? “Nobody knows, nobody
will win in November,” is as good
an answer as any.
La Follette will run remarkably
in the northwest, and may surprise
everybody in other parts, including
New York.
Mr. Davis, presumably will get
the southern vote that his party
guarantees him.
Millions believe that to suggest
any other name than Coolidge’s for
winner is preposterous.
The difficulty is to see how any
one of the candidates can expect
to get the necessary majority of
votes.
However, as a wise politician
says: “Many will think as they
think now until October 15. Then
they will ask themselves, ‘shall we
settle this election now and elect
somebody, or shall we wait for con
gress to settle it next March and
keep the whole country torn up
until then?' ”
Miss Bessie Bubac accused
George Pfister, jr., of hitting her
on the head with a stuffed stocking
while she was reading poetry that
he had given her. He, a deaf mute,
confesses that he struck the young
lady, that he might embrace her.
His intentions were .honorable, ‘‘ob
ject matrimony," but he will go to
jail. Once that was the recognized
form of courtship, all over the
world. Ladies respected only those
energetic and strong enough to
knock them down and drag them
away. The “he man” has degen
erated. —
“My dogs are wise and bite well.
Have I made myself clear?” That
is part of D’Annunzio’s sign out
side his villa. He has contempt
for the world, he says, and retires
from it. An interesting genius, he
will change his dogs for gentler
ones and he out in the world again
telling it what to do.
Even the great Charles V could
not resist meddling with world af
fairs after he hr/ taken off the
crown and retired to the mon
astery.
Men lose teeth, hair, appetite,
digestion, figure, but never their
taste for power.

Reference Agents
Held in Dispute
Over License Fees
Six Officials Arrested While
Holding Grievance Meet
ing; Later Released on
$500 Bond Each.
Six officials of Omaha employment
agencies were arrested Thursday
morning on a charge of operating la
bor agencies without licenses. Those
arrested were Mrs. Mary Marti of
the Marti 'company, Miss Fay Watts
of th«f Watts Reference company,
Miss Maud Cloud of the Service Ref
erence company. Harry H. Knapp of
the Western Reference and Dond
company, and Wyman T. Beebe and
Talmadge Beebe of the Business
Men's Reference association.
The arrested officials announced
several days ago they would not pay
the state fee of $50 required of labor
agencies, declaring that they insisted
upon a distinction between “labor
agencies” and “reference employ
ment agencies."
Detectives Besiege Meeting.
The six officials were arrested at
the Chamber of Commerce, where
they were holding a grievance meet
ing after learning that warrants had
been issued for them. Detectives
armed with warrants besieged the
doors of the conference room, serv
ing the papers after adjournment of
the meeting.
The officials were taken to the
police station, but were released soon
afterwards on $500 bonds. The men
were named in the warrants as "labor
agents," while the women were
designated as "housewives.’’
The matter of license fees for the
employment agencies has been a
subject of bitter dispute for several
weeks, following the decision of State
Labor Commissioner Murphy that
the "reference" agencies were ac
tually labor agencies, and as such
subject to the recently enacted law
requiring a $50 license, fee.
Claim Distinction.
Officials of the reference employ
ment agencies protested that their
organizations operated on a plan
altogeyier different from the labor
agencies, handling only office and
technical employment and requiring
references from both employer and
employe.
They declare that they would In
sist on a "show down.” Their ultima
tum was followed by the Issuance
of the warrants by Deputy County
Attorneys Nicholson and Yeager.
Say I.aw Unconstitutional.
"We are faced in this situation with
a peculiar predicament," said Harry
If. Knapp. "The law under which the
state labor commissioner has acted to
force the various reference bureaus In
Omaha to take out licenses has been
declared unconstitutional.
"It has been a dead letter for years.
Aside from this, however, our bureaus
are not employment agencies.
"We are only reference organiza
tions. We look Into the fitness, effi
ciency and other qualifications of ap
plicants for executive, technical, com
mercial and professional positions.
We do not handle labor In the ordi
nary sense.
"Those who come to ns are educat
ed—most of them highly educated.
We do not hire labor, but look into
the qualifications of applicants only.
Conducted Honestly.
"We have conducted this business
In Omaha for 20 years without a sin
In court action against any of us
charging misrepresentation or fraud.
"Also, we have never had to take
out licensee under any law—muoh
ess this law that has been declared
unconstitutional.

Greenwich Village Comes to Main
Street for Funds for La Follette
- . . ..... ■ ■ ..—
Guido Bruno, Apostle of New York's Uncon
ventional Latin Quarter, Comes West for $1
Bills to Swell War Chest of “Fighting Boh."
Greenwich Village, self-sufficient
Manhattan Island, has come to Mai
street hasn't sent funds to Greenwich
that matter, to support some only daui
before has Greenwich Village invaded
clubs to actively solicit contributions.
Robert M. I-a. Follette, who has®
done many things in his time to make
Main street gasp, has accomplished
this miracle.
High up in the Hotel Fontenelle
sits Guido Bruno, founder and High
Apostle of Greenwich Village. Big of
frame, he could more fittingly be Im
agined on the veranda of some coun
try club than in a hotel room dictat
ing to a stenographer.
And the letters he dictates plead for
contributions to the war chest of
Robert M. I>a Follette.
"We don’t expect large contribu
tions," says Mr. Bruno. "But we are
nfler the $1 Hills and the $10 hills.
And that's the reason I’m in Nebras
ka instead of in New York."
Hived In Garret.
Mr. Bruno is reported to have
lived in a garret. Perhaps he has,
but he could never get by as the
garret type In the modern film drama.
He isn’t emaciated and apparently
he never has been. New York news
paper men who write of him say he
has sometimes pondered long in that
same garret over the means of se
curing the wherewithal for the next
meal. From appearances, Mr. Bruno
has always succeeded.
When he lifts himself from a big
arm chair beside the window and
paces the floor he brings hack recol
lections of Hendrik TVllhelm Van
Loon, whose "Story of Mankind ’went
through countless editions two years
ago.
That resemblance to Van Loon Is
strengthened when he apesks. He
has trouble with the English lan
guage. His speech Is burred, but not
as a Scotsman's. It Is rather the
burr of the Dutchman who has been
too short a time in this country.
And the voice is deep.
The name Guido suggests an Italian.
But Mr. Bruno is a Dalmatian, and
if (ha name Dalmatia can't be found
on the western slope of Europe’s third
and most easterly peninsula it is be
cause the type is too email.
Mr. Bruno is reported to have
worn a bright green fedora on Fifth
avenue, New York. In Omaha he
accomplishes the same effect by
striding about the lobby of the Hotel
Fontenelle with a walking stick.
Pleads For SI Bills.
Mr. Bruno is the soul of amiability.
l[e doesn't want fo k»ep Robert M.
La Follette to himself.

Save his
eye sight
Is he lazy or
stupid, or are his
eyes defective?
Out of the 100,000 children who failed in
examinations last year in New York City,
50,000 were found to be suffering from
defective eyes. Surveys show that over
half of the school children everywhere
need eye attention. Don’t think that be
cause he “sees well” his eyes are perfect.
The eye is capable of accommodating it
self to adverse conditions—but at tre
mendous cost to some other part of the
body. This is why the cause of headaches,
stomach trouble or "nerves” can so often
be traced to the eyes.
Give your child a fair chance. Don’t leave
all the responsibility to the teachers. Take
him to an eyesight specialist.
