Today Consider Joe, Chimpan zee. Hard to Get, Hard to Use. Not Nickels, But Billions. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v-/| Joe, aged chimpanzee, alleged member of a tribe from which sprang the Caucasian race, has known a moment of exaltation. His keeper, as usual, entered the cage to clean it. Joe, just for a change, swung his knotty, hairy black hand around, knocked the keeper sense less with ease, went out the open door and walked in the park. He stopped to exchange courtesies with his friend, John Barrett, 83-year old park employe. Soon he was on his way back to the cage. Learn that when you admire a prize fighter, you admire only a poor imitation of a chimpanzee, and a worse imitation of a gorilla, that could beat any 20 prize fight ers in 40 seconds. Learn also from Joe, the chim panzee, that freedom depends not on how hard you can hit but on how well you can think. Radicals urging each other “to rise and throw off their chains” should study Joe, the chimpanzee. He rose, knocked down his keeper and walked out of the cage, but he didn't know what to do next. “There’s the rub.” George L. Brown, English work ■ er in a Pittsburgh steel mill, in vested $5 in a British lottery, won $42,500, is on his way to England. How long do you think he will keep the $42,500 or any of it? On the other hand, Winchester, Va., sees a “bonded caretaker” and armed guards protecting the house of the late Miss Martha Shumate. The house is stuffed with money, greenbacks, gold coins, etc., behind pictures, under floors, in closets. Some with money don’t know how to keep it. Others with money don’t know how to enjoy it or make it useful. A wise man said: “Some have meat that cannot eat. And some can eat that have no meat. But I have meat and I can eat, so God be greet.” General Dawes tells a crowd "to hold onto Coolidge,” praising the president as a “close president who watches the nickels.” There are much better reasons than that for “holding onto Cool idge. “Nickel nursing,” as the slang of the day has it, is not the important work of a president. What the people want is a presi dent that will watch the millions and the billions. Ordinary book keepers will take care of the nick els, in spite of the old proverbs. Take care of the millions and bil lions, Mr. Coolidge. The nickels will take care of themselves. Richard Gaffney, 70, and his wife, same age, lived together through good times and bad. Bad times got worse. Gaffney could work no longer as a boilermaker, his wife could earn no money. I , Their last good friend died. Mrs. Gaffney said to a neighbor, “When we go, my husband and I will go together.” They went together on Tuesday, they turned on the gas. A sad story, but there are young m.'-n and women busy with their Paris divorces, that need not pity this old couple. To live together up to 70, and then “go together” isn’t so bad, as things go in this world. Prince Caetani, Italian ambassa dor to the United States, will re turn to Italy, and on behalf of the Italian government, and Mussolini will direct the draining of the Pontine marshes. On these marsh es, covering 150,000 acres, live and breed the malaria carrying mos quitoes that have caused so many deaths and so much misery through centuries. How little the Romans imagined, as they fought the bar barians and conquered the old civilization, that their deadliest enemy was the tiny insect laying her eggs in the marsh water. Mussolini will be remembered forever with gratitude if he wipes out that death-breeding plague spot. fCoryrljhf, 1924.)

The decision was given by Judge Hastings after reading the opinion of the supreme court in a similar case which arose in Furnas county. In the Hamilton county case the petition asking for the allowance of the farm bureau budget contained 554 names, while the remonstrance con tained 687 names. However, the re monstrance contained the names of 216 wives of farmers who lind like wise signed the remonstrance. The supreme court having held that these women were not proper remonstrators too few signatures remained to cal! for an election on the question. While an exception was taken to the ruling of Judge Hastings, it is not anticipated that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court. The farm bureau In Hamilton county has been in existence for eight- or nine years and public sentiment seems somewhat evenly divided as to the benefits derived.

Hartington, Oct. 23.—feeding value of this year's corn crop in northeast Nebraska has been tested and found to be good, considering the early frost and the percentage of soft corn. I Id. A. Chase, a Cedar county farmer, lias a herd of 150 head of hogs which averaged 180 pounds each just before turning them Into a field of corn which he wished to "hog-off.” After allowing them to remain in the field 19 days, ho reweighed the herd and found that they had made a gain of 50 pounds a head on the average in 19 days. In northeast Nebraska are many corn fields in which hogs and other stock either are or have been feeding. Farmers have discovered that "hog ging off” corn is a satisfactory method of harvesting the corn crop and at the same time finishing pigs for the market. As pigs usually have been grown on pasture without much grain ration (luring the summer, they are In the beet of condition for "hog ging-off’ the corn In the fall, especial ly those weighing from 76 to 175 pounds, ss farmers have found that they can cover the field better than entailer or larger ones. Farmers who have had experience, claim that supplemental feeds to hal anee the corn ration, such as alfalfa, sweet clover and rape, should be given to obtain the best results. Experi ments show that the grain Is in creased nbout 20 per cent, when sup plemental feeds of this description are given. tOO Profess Conversion in Revival at Callaway Callaway.
