THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 4, 1920. S MANY FARMERS CUT ACREAGE OF FOOD PRODUCTS Rumors of Labor Difficulties Cause Farmers to Prepare To Fight Demands Are Settled. The farm labor situation is arous ing considerable speculation among farmers of Nebraska. Circulation of the report that demands for large increases would be made has caused many farmers to change their crop plan for the year and decrease the acreage of wheat "and other food products and increase their acreage of clover, alfalfa and wild hay in order to operate their farms with less help. The sections of the state where demands for; larger pay is being made are widely scattered and in many sections the supply of labor at wages considered fair by far mers is reported better than last year. Boyd Radford, secretary of the Nebraska Polled Hereford associa tion, says that investigations have shown him that conditions around Kearney are not serious and that there will be no. shortage of labor or a demand of unreasonable wages. J. F. Coupe of Carroll, who has made a general survey of labor con ditions in his section says, there will be plenty of farm help with wages averaging about $70 a month. He says farmers in general are not worrying about the labor situation and that they do think the condi tions are bad as they were last year at this time. f A group of more than a score of farmers and live stock raisers dis cussing the situation in the stock exchange were unanimous in the opinion that they as individuals woald refuse to pay exorbitant wages to farm laborers. Parole Confessed Thief To Provide for Family Columbus, Neb., April 3. (Spe cial:) In order that he may support his young wife and their two little children. Will Stoll, who confessed to the theft of Leo Walter's auto mobile, will be paroled by Judge A. M. Post. Stoll entered a plea of guilty to the charge filed against him. Judge Post sentenced the young man to serve two years in the peni tentiary and then announced that he would suspend sentence and pa role him if his attorney could find some responsible man who would i accept the charge. Columbus Disappointed In 1920 Census Figures Columbus, Neb., April 3. (Spe cial.) The official record of the 1920 census shows the population to be 5,410, according to' announcement from Washington. Columbus was the first city in Nebraska, to. get its. census figures, but they wcre'disap pointed, as it was confidently ex pected the count would exceed 6,000. In 1910 the census was 5,014, but at that time Columbus was striving to become a city of. the first class, and it is said that not all the noses counted were worn by permanent, residents of the community. Beatrice Family Narrowly Escapes Injury in Auto Wreck Beatrice, Neb., April 3. (Soecial.) Mr. and Mrs. Jess Hargis and little daughter had a narrow escape when the automobile in which they were riding collided with an auto driven by Station Agent Spencer of I'ickrcll. Their car was partially overturned and they were thrown out, but they escaped with severe bruises. Speaker of House Pays Tribute to Modesty Of General Pershing Washington, April 3. How su preme power, world-adulation and acclaim failed to change General Pershing, commander of the great est American military force anyone ever directed, from the same modest and unspoiled citizen known to his friends of years, was forcefully told by the speaker of the house in ex tending the thanks of the nation to General Pershing on the occasion of his public reception by congress. "You have seemed to us not only a successful general," the speaker said, "bending all his great powers without favor and without leniency to the one stern purpose of victory, but you have also seemed a wise, discreet, restrained, far-sighted man. And, sir, I may add, that to those of us who knew, it is refreshing but not surprising to find that, after all the supreme power, the high sta tion, the lordly associates, and the unstinted compliments to which you have become accustomed, you have developed neither arrogance nor af fectation, but that you have come back as you went away modest, straightforward, unspoiled. (Ap plause.) It was of such men as you that Burns wrote: 'The ranlc la but th Kuineu's stamp; The man's the gnwd fur a' that. For a' that and a' that, The jittch of sense and pride of worth Are higher ranks than a' that. "And as we rejoiced to give you the rank to which your extraordi nary service entitled you, we rejoice still more in the sterling character which that rank decorates." (Ap plause.) Gas Holder Explodes asd Girl Has Narrow Escape Nebraska City, Neb., April 3.i (Special.) A holder of the Nebras ka City Gas company blew up last night when a pressure of 25-opunds to the square inch was too strong for the pipe to which a top had been riveted several days ago. Two acetylene tanks, left on the holder by workmen, were blown 200 feet. The top, weighing over a ton, was blown into a dooryard west of the holder, narrowly missing a house. One of the smaller tanks alighted near a girl walking along the street. The holder is a part of the old stand pipe used for years by the water company. O'Neill Considers Bids For Paving City Streets O'Neill, Neb., April 3. (Special.)

Bee Want Ads"Prrjduce Results. Taft Makes Four Talks During Stay in Omaha . (Continued From First 1'age.) fight " here Mr. Taft stopped and laughed heartily. Mrs. Smith Interrupts. Mrs. Draper Smith, who had in troduced Mr. Taft to the women, leaped to her feet in an instant, her cheeks red with indignation: "Everything we have we got be cause we worked and were opti mistic," she exclaimed. "Well, when you've had as much political experience as I have had," Mr. Taft laughed, "you will count your chickens after not before they are hatched." Mr. Taft spoke at an informal din ner in Hotel Fontenelle at 6 p. m., on the relations of labor and capital. At 8 p. m. he gave an address in the Auditorium on "American ism." The meeting in the Auditorium was nonpartisan. The Rotary, Con cord and Kiv.annis clubs were in terested in the 6 o'clock dinner and the Auditorium meeting. "As I have been going about the country during the last two months," Mr. Taft said, "I have found a well defined sentiment in favor of getting tlie peace treaty out of the way in advance of the po litical campaigns. With the excep tion of the bitter-enders, the people generally arc anxious to have the treaty disposed of. Would Stabilize Conditions. "The joint resolution which has been offered in congress,' for de claring peace, will not dispose of the treaty. I believe that ratifica tion of the treaty would tend to stabilize conditions. It would strengthen the credit of those na tions between, which we now have prohibitive rates of exchange." Mr. Taft expressed belief that the peace treaty will be ratified before the national conventions. "There is not such a wide differ ence of opinion," he said. He observes stabilizing influences at work in this country. He likened the national situation to a wound he suffered in the Philippines. The doctors told him that the wound must remain open until the process of granulation had finished its work. "We must all live while our na tional problems are being solved and gradually we will righten ourselves." he asserted. Urges Organization of Clubs. In his addresses on this tour Mr. Taft is urging such organizations as the Rotary, Concord and Kiwanis clubs to promote Americanism and to discourage those who would sow seeds of discord from soapboxes on the street corners. An Omaha man asked Mr. Taft if he was for Hoover, whereupon the former president chuckled and explained that he had a son who was a Hoover supporter. "Robert was with Hoover in Europe, I don't control my son's politics," he replied. Mr. Taft will leave Sunday for Kansas y City, proceeding to Ada, Okla., where-he will speak Monday. He is accompanied by Wendell W. Mischer, who has been his private secretary for many years. "A Mass of Sores No Sleep Unhappy Days" So writef F. D. Smith, 4U4 Shelby Stmt, Saoduiky, Ohio.
