An Inyitation to Team Work. With Greater Omaha consolidation assured, tinless something Blips a cog In the final stages, we may voice the hope that the people of the annexed territory will at once Join with its for team work la pushing the enlarged metropolis mill further forward. The list part of tht campaign -for the con solidation bill has been lti comparative freedom from eliminations and recriminations or mani festations of 111 will, calculated to create lasting antagonism. While those engased In the fight on both sides have put In their beat efforts to persuade thelawmakert to their way of think ing, the crossfire has pot gottrn further than to charge one another with being animated ly selfish motives. But conceding the sincerity of the opponents of the merger, It will devolvp upon them to acrept the situation and makj good on their protestations of devotion to the welfare of their respective communities through a co-operative effort for Improvement all along the line. With every one pulling on the rope at the same time, the wheels of progress for Greater Omaha must move steadily faster with corresponding benefits to one and all. Clear the track for Greater Omaha! Well. Mr. Groundhog, we're ready for jour icappearance. By all outward Indications, Omaha real es tate never looked better to far-seeing men with money to Invest. To a hungry Nebraska democrat: "The Long Way to Tlrporary" la a short cut beside the road to the pie counter. The workmen's compensation law will beet serve the ends of all Interested by allowing Urua for a practical test of Ita merits. The abolition of the coroner's office will answer the old Question aa io whether the lob by rights belongs to an undertaker or to a phy sician. " Omaha lias a few discarded voting machines ii could readily dispose of to Indiana towns, where they eeeni to know better how to. use them. With an accumulation of over $325,000 la the Water board sinking fund, a real reduction la water rates ought to be at leaat within hail ing distant. Despite the long and wearying delay la the distribution of federal provender, it is confi dently believed the fortunate few will be able to Lake the nourishment. 1 The Jitneys aro rendering a real service to the public, but this service would not be Im paired In the slightest If the cars were kept a little cleaner to make them more inviting. , More aliens are leaving the country than are coming in. Persons whose slumbers have been' disturbed by the alien bogey may now tuck the covers in and snore in peace. If the Rock Island paid Brother Ve'nner 26,000 for Nebraska Central franchise terrrnV ral rights In Omaha, it might not be a bad Idea for the city to start an inquiry as to Just what the sale Included. The new premier of Greece urges the na tives to observe neutrality. Equally potent in that line Is the queen's Teutonic kinship and a rash donation from the allies. A shirt from neutrality's path will upset soma grease. The Western Pacific railroad from 8alt Lake to San Francisco Is spiked to the rocks with bonded debt of f $0,000 a mile.

The International Institute of Agriculture has Just sent out from Its headquarters at Rome a preliminary statement on the area sown to rinter crops (Including wheat and rye) in the northern hemisphere countries, and crop returns for the southern hemisphere countries. Ths showing is very encouraging. According to the figures given the United States data in hands of the Institute, an Increase in area sown In the northern hemisphere over last year Is generally reported, especially In the United 8tates, with an Increase of 22 per cent In acreage, and in In dia, with an increase of 11 per cent. Plenty of moisture haa fallen in all the countries, and some report an excess, but no damage to the prospective crops. Tha good reports on the crops in the so nth em hemisphere are confirmed by the bulletin, es pecially the wheat yield. Argentina, Chile Aus tralia and New Zealand report a yield of 6K 213,1 El quintals, or a trifle under 114,000,000 bushels, an Increase of 6.3 per cent over the 1813-14 crop. The yield of other crops In the southern hemisphere Is also large. . , The significance of this showing of the world's production of wheat, and other food stuffs is, that even with the continuance of the war in Europe, there Is little likelihood of the world's going hungry. Some planting will be done In each of the countries engaged in the war, so that an ample aupply of food seems assured. Merchants' Week a Success. While the bringing of retail buyers to Omaha for the purpose of making spring purchases is not a novelty, the present event has been the most successful of its kind aver undertaken. It has seen a larger number of buyers than on any previous occasion, and tha spirit that has pre vailed Is proof that tha advantages of buying in Omaha are fully appreciated by the Merchants doing business In the smaller towns. Hospitable entertainment mingled with the facility for do ing business has cemented more firmly the friendship between' the business men of, the city and of the country, and meant a continuation of the pleasant relations thus established. Omaha's prestige as a distributing center for wares and goods of all kinds is steadily growing, and its supremacy In Its territory is no longer ques tioned. The spirit that has marked "merchants' week" is the spirit that. will make Omaha a sUll greater market town. . Significajit. Observers of the political kaleidoscope should not. overlook the significance of the changevTecently announced In the chairmanship of the bullmooee national committee, by which former-Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana Is eliminated by the resignation route, and Is suc ceeded by soon-to-be-former-Congressman Victor Mardock of Kansas. The reason given for the rtxon resignation is Inability to look after the duties of the position without sacrificing private Interests, bat no one would imagine Senator Dixon giving up command if he thought the bull moose sun were rising Instead of setting. Equally significant Is the concealment of the source of authority which has commissioned Mr. Murdock to be the new chairman, for ordinarily a committee meeting Is necessary to take such action. 8o far is known, however, no euch meet ing haa beea held, except possibly of the handful of bosses no, leaders supposed to be in pos session of the remnants of the party machinery. Gentle Spring" ApproachetL The first meadow lark of tha spring la re ported to have been sighted in Elniwood park, but Robin Redbreast, sure precursor of the season of "ethereal mildness," lingers somewhat behind his schedule. Nor do the snowbanks bear an earnest ot the Immediate pendency of the new birth of nature. Soon, however, the venture some crocus will be found peeping up through the frosty, sodden sod within the woodlands, while the householder, apprehensive from past experience, already looks ahead to the turmoil of spring cleaning, with Its discovery of the for gotten debris of a long and snowy winter. It will not be long until the swelling bads will burst into leaf and flower, and the deen rreanawar. that makes the beauty of local lawns will be spangled with the yellow blossoms of the peren nial pest, and the war against the dandelion will be on once more. Nor can the change come any too aoonr man kind in general is bored stiff from a surplus of dull, drab or weeping skies, and the weather man may turn off the winter spout aa soon aa he likes, for Omaha has had enough. The gamiest old bluffer la all Turkey, former SuiUn Abdul Ham Id. Is said to have bean set free by the yonng Turks, who seised the gov ernment all yearn ago. Ia the Interval Turkey haa been stripped of Tripoli and three-foartha of tha empire to Europe, beside engaging U a war wnicn imperil the Turk lab, capital. It U hardly possible that Harold eaa "come back' at tue age of 71, but his liberty will enable him to observe the great imp rove meat ia tha ulti matums of th allied fleet over the diplomatic ultlmatutus with which. he faUeued the aultantc waatebaskat. The Political Caldron WILT, the Dreater Omaha merger be put throuah with the emergency clause, making It effective ahead of the Impending municipal election? And if It does go throuah In a form Immediately operative, enlarging tli political war arena, whnt chanirea will It make In the political map by which the candidates must guide themselves? These are the new questions suddenly brought home to the city campaign rUtealnts by legislative developments at Lincoln. 'Whether the emergency clmiee will or will rot atay on the l.HI la purely ape, ulatlve. but there are reaaons to believe that It will. When the measure went through the eenste, it dkt not have enough vot- on pansage to make It an emergency lew, but several of the opponents changed their votes, at the same time Inserting the explana tion Into the Journal that they did so because they be lieved. If merger was to come. It shotud be expedited to permit the voters of the annexed iltlra and towns to have a voice In choosing the municipal officer elected thia spring to administer their government for the ensiling three years. The same reasons would apply equally to th procedure In the house-that Is to say. If on final roll rail a safe majority la recorded for consolidation, enough of the volca on the other aide could he readily transferred to prevent the elimination of the emergency clause, and give the am bltloua ststnamen of Potith Omaha, Dundee, Benson and Florence a chance to throw their hats Into the city eommlsslonershlp ring if they want to. A revleed political map. adding at least 10 pr cent to the total vote, and bringing In groupa of voters who have never before participated In our city politics would necessarily Inject several elementa o? uncertainty Into the situation. It will he natural for fotith Omaha to demand one of the seven elective places tn the city haJI-whelher It can enforce that demand depending upon Its ability to present candi date with qualification that appeal to the voters here In Omaha. Giving South Omaha a cermmlasione--sliip, however, would leave Omaha with only nix, which number might still be further diminished if ome one from other annexed territory should sue ced In capturing one of tha places. Whatever com bination may be made for either primary or election will have to take Into consideration the alignment of the new votes. Judging from previous elections, it goes without saying that the sentiment In South Omaha la predominantly wet. In Dundee dry, and in Benson and Florenca more evenly divided, but the total vote of South Omaha Is twice that of all tha othsr auburn.' As between different Omajia candi date, the acburhan vote may easily be the deciding weight In the balance. ' It I hinted that several chronlo candidates are holding back their announcement to file because of fsara that they may be adjudged Insane, one candi date already having been cited to appear before the Insanity board. Jlrst what la It In the way of qualifications or promise that is wanted of the place hunters? One candidate announce that If Tie be elected he will en force all of the mandates on the statute books, a feat which ha not been aocompllshed since Moses and tha prophets tried their hands at law making. An other vouchsafes the Information that he was born in Omaha and lived here fifty years, and. therefore, ha ahould be elected. Another man recite the fact that two year ago while serving In the state legi. latura ha waa Interested In a certain bill for Omaha which should entitle him now to be connected up with the payroll. "Bafety flrat," Is tha alogaa which atlll another candidate has adopted for his campaign cards Being circulated. The last day for registration for the April prima'ry will be Friday, March 38, and the last day for filing pennons wvi oe tne same date. Twice Told Tales There Waa a Reaaoa. At a dinner party in Washington the conversation turned to old-Ume customs and this llttlo story wts told by Mrs. Leigh C. Palmer, wife, of Lieutenant Commander Palmer of the navy: ' One afternoon Mrs. Jones paid a visit to her friend, Mr. Smith. In a distant part of tha town, and on her return aha proceeded to impart to Husband Jonea the mora Important Incident of her 'call. "And there is another, Hiram," remarked tha good woman, aa the recital flowed on. "I don't believe tha Bmlth are aa rellaioua aa they used to be." "They alnt!" responded Hiram, with a surprised expression. "What makes ye think that?" "Well. It' Jut thl way." returned Mra. Jones. "For mora than twenty-five years that big Bible of their waa on the center table In tha parlor, .and now It ha disappeared.' "That ain't because of their religion. Mary." mllod Husband Jonea.

Neb., March 1J.-TO the Editor of The Bee: One seldom pk-k up a paper without reading ef on or more divorce, family rows, or aeparatlooa of ome kind, and I presume It I the same throughout th state. Moat people reading of a divorce, re mark that the man la a beast of some thing almllar. and proceed to forget about It. unleaa It be tn the family, then it i. awf4l to have the family broke tip.

About this time this young couple begin to reallie they have never been taught to fill. Who lit to blame? Surelv not they. The bor has attended school twelve ears and In all that time has been taucht thing other than he lisa to contend with. It is doubtful If he could figure the num ber of tons of hay In a stack or bushels of grain In a bin. 1 doubt whether one-half of the rural teachers in this state csn solve either of thore problems without the aid of tht arithmetic The girl has attended the same length of time and probably doesn't know how to make a cup of coffee let alone a loaf of bread. I doubt whether one-half of the feminine rural teachers could do as much, not wllng to start any arnu mcnt. After contending with each othera ml." takes comes the row, and In a good many esses separation. The education these pr.plls receive Is ss millstones hung about their neck.
