Tod ay Calvin "Rear Ribs." The Diamond Trust. Wall Street Doesn't Know. Ford's Flat Mill. By ARTHUR BRISBANE, v__ The Indian* in North Dakota make President Coolidge a member of their tribe and confer upon him the name of “Bear Ribs.” Jovith Badger and Pius Shoots first wrote the president a nice letter, telling him', that his name, “Bear Ribs,” was- that of a very wise Indian, killed by his tribe because he ad vised them to make pence with the Americans, long ago. If old ‘‘Bear Ribs” had kept out of peace confer ences, and advisings, he’d have died a natural death, Mr. President. One of the tightest trusts in the world is the big diamond trust, managed by owners of South Afri can diamond mines. Just now that trust is bothered by overproduction of diamonds. Last year the Ameri can" trust sold about $37,000,000 worth of diamonds, against $27, OOOjCOO in 1923. The market fears disorganization. A few years ago Thomas F. Ryan of New York, who isn’t the easiest man ta deal with in a financial fight, bought African diamond mines. He sends his diamonds out by flying machine. It may be that he is wor rying the diamond trust, as he once bothered the tobacco trust here in Ihe^LJnited States until it took him to Ha bosom. — Herbert Hoover tolls his fellow citiacns not to pay attention to the Wall street slump, and not to be lievS that it means anything se rious as regards business prosper ity generally. If only means, says Mr. Hoover, that Wall street is a poor baro meter. That may comfort you, al though it won’t comfort some of the geese that gambled in the highly speculative stocks and have gone back to work to earn some more money. Cotton states will be interested in the news that Russia is increas ing cotton acreage this year by 300,000 acres. More interesting to cotton grow ers are experiments that Henry Ford is making with flax. He be lieves that flax can be produced at a price lower than the price of cotton, has planted more than 1,000 acres, and he showed this writer, in his flax factory the other day, sam ples of carded flax with a wonder fully long staple. Mr. Ford plans to use flax in stead of cotton in the material used for covering seats of Ford cars. He believes that machinery, working at low cost, will replace nearly all hand labor that has made linen so expensive. Any good soil will grow flax, he says, and the boll weevil doesn’t attack it. However, cotton growers will wait a while before abandoning their favorite crop. Donald MacMillan, Arctic ex plorer. urget, President Coolidge to raise the American flag over more territory near the north pole. We ought to get all the land we can up there, if only for landing airplanes, says he. There is wealth up there under the ground, if it ever serins worth while to go after it. The Rocke feller family, patiently plodding to ward financial prosperity, has sent oil prospectors up thpre. Struck oil, and plenty of it, inside the Arc tic circle, but they don’t mean to get it out yet. It would cost fifty millions to run in a pipe line. In a few thousand years, as the pole swings slowly around, pointing to the different stars, which in turn become our “North star,” the climate up there will change and the land might be very valuable. Before then, however, nations may cease to quarrel about land, and what we call the United Stages may be called by a different name. A young Swedish lady with a fine figure, who has come here to dance for a living, says she drinks only champagne. Champagne and noth ing else “preserves a beautiful, slender figure,” so that young wo man sayr. It may do that, hut plenty of men and women with figures far from slender may be seen drinking plenty of champagne. Whatever champagne may do for the figure, it is death on the kidneys — ■— - ' ' .... . — — . i .. ■ (m and other parts of man's internal machinery. Any wine that bubbles is a wine that hasn’t finished fermenting, and any person that allows the process of fermentation to be car ried on inside himself is a foolish person. Champagne is not a true wine at all. The French, that make it, sell it to English, Russians and Americans. They drink their own national, sound still wines. The postmaster general punishes , six employes, reducing them to a lower rank, because of their activ ity in getting more money for post office workers. What about members of congress that actually voted for their own increase? The public doesn’t ob ject to their having it, any more than it objects to the pay of the postoffice employes being raised. But you can’t help noticing a cer tain difference. (Copyright, 1925.) Steve Biddick Sentenced on Conviction for Arson Plattsmouth, April 1.—Judge James T.
