Howell Urges Aid to Farmers Agriculture Same Chance as Railroads, Pica of Senator. The Greater Omaha committee was appealed to by Senator It. B. Howell to take the lead In a movement to bring economic relief to the farmer. "The farmer Is a conservative business man now and unless he gets the nid he needs and deserves, one can only guess what lie will be come," said Senator Howell. l'nder the Howell plan the farmer will receive nid on the same basis as the railroads. "We ore paying more now under the special railroad helping plan to ride on trains, so why not pay a little more for wheat, so that the farmer ean be given the necessary aid," sajd Senator Howell. Economic Still*. “One halt of business In this coun try is now on economic stilts, while the other half, the farmer, is close to the ground. We must either put economic stilts under the farmer, or tear the stilts from under the other half of business. Senator Howell’s plan calls for the automatic setting of the price of wheat, using the market price at the time the wheat is sold with the mar ket price of wheat at a similar time in 1913. After the wheat Is sold, the gov ernment will figure out what part of the crop was consumed in this coun try, for the plan calls for aid for the farmer on only products consumed In this country. Tried on Wheat First. Senator Howell said the plan should first be tried with wheat and then extended to other products. “It will mean sure help for the farmer,” he said, ‘‘and when the farmer is prosperous, the country is prosperous. This is especially im portant to the people of the central west.” The Howell plan will be discussed at the next meeting of the Greater Omaha committee.

If you are very much frightened and pretend that you are not frightened at all you are bluffing. It would be true the other way around; if you were not frightened at all, but pretended to be very much frightened, you would be bluffing. To bluff in simply to pre tend a thing Is what It is not. When Bobby Coon ordered Unc’ Billy Possum out of his hollow tree and said that if Unc’ Billy didn't leave he, Bobby, would pull him out If he had to pull him out In pieces, Unc’ Billy grinned and told Bobby to try It. Now' when Unc’ Billy draws his lips way back so as to show all his teeth, he can make himself look quite savage and dangerous. This la what he now did. “Come on. Brer Coon, come on. Just you try pulling me out of heah! Just yo' try It!” he cried, Bobby Coon hesitated. Only Unc’ Billy’s head was inside the doorway, and as Bobby looked at him it seemed as if that head was mostly teeth. Bobby wasn't afraid of Unc’ Billy.

Bobby Coon's hesitation came to an had no intention of fighting. He end. He had made up his mind that was his house, and he meant to have It back. An ugly look came Into his eyes. “I'm coming, 3ir. Possum, I'm coming, he said. “And when t get there you'll wish I hadn't come.” He turned about on the branch on which he had been lying snd started down toward the doorway where Unc' Billy was watching him. Unc' Billy had a chance to see just how- big Bobby was. He knew that Bobby was a good fighter. He knew that there was no one in the Green Forest with more real courage than Bobby iVon. He had no desire to feel Bobby's sharp teeth. Still he kept up his bluff until the very last Instant. He snapped his jaws and pretended to lie eager for a fight. He kept his eyes on Bobby Coon to see if he would hesitate again. But Bobby t'oon didn't liesitate No. 1.—"Uncle Henry" DeUong, 90, pioneer of Council Bluffs, voteo parly with Mrs. A. T.
