Report of Egg Shipment

;,The statement made last week
bv a Seward live stock shipper", 4hat
' mile cars of eees were shiDDed to
a, dealeff in Omaha, devclopr to be

"Instead, the egss wererouted to

to a statement" made by a local
Commission dealer.
i.It was said by the Seward man
thai" the nine cars contained 36,000
cases of eggs, which' is also proved
to" be untrue. In "an average box-
car, only 400 cases can be shipped.
This would make a total of 3,600
instead of 36.000, which was pre-
, viously reported.
The deafer to wnom the eggs
were supposed to have been shipped
says that if the eggs had been

TRADE EXPERTS
URGE ADOPTION
OF PEACE TREATY
Recommend peturn of Mer
chant Marine to Private OwnJ
ership, at Closing Session of
San Francisco Convention.
San Francisco, May 15. Immedi
ate adoption of a peace treaty safe
guarding rights of American citi
zens and return of control of the
American, -merchant mariner- to pri
vate ownership and operation were
striking features of a national pro
gram for foreign trade adopted at
the clossing session of the seventh
annual foreign trade council con
vention here.
More than 25,000 active leaders
in foreign trade unanimously adopt
ed the broad program urging chang
es in governmental policy to en
able Americans to compete with
other nations with equality in all
foreign countries. The convention
consisted t of four days' intensive
study of 'all problems relating to
international commercei from the
American standpoint and the pro
gram was a digest of need to im
prove trade.
As collateral influence in the pro,-,
gram of expansion of exports and
imports, it is important that all in
terests of producers generally
sfiould be safeguarded and main
tained on a fair and equitable basis;
that production should be increased
to the maximum in order to restore
normal conditions of employment
and living.
, "We should biuld ships for the
world markets, as well as for our
own, requirements. There is no
reason hy American ships should
not again be among the largest of
our -exports. Marine insurance can,
best be carried; on by partisan en
terprises. .'"The appropriations for mainten
ance of the United States Tariff
commission should be ' increaseed
and its investigation supported by
congress and the business public.
"Continued development of inter
national waterways is necessary
to -the perefection of economic
trade routes. ,
'There should be reorganization
of the foreign service of the gov
ctnmeut as will eliminate any duupli-,
cation of efforts, and enable it con
tinuously to perform that effective
work essential to the fullest develop
ment of our foreign trade." (
Need of adequate cable, mail and
wireless service to every section
of the globe is a prime essential and
should be the base of a systematic
policy of the government, the pro
gram declased. N

member of the Hungarian peace

'The government still insists that
the treaty sis unjust, but realizes
its defenseless position and that the
Roumanians are waiting an oppor
tunity to reinvade.
"The members of the peace dele

than to give their enemies excuse
to overrun Magyar soil, but not a

Sunday Motoring Under r
Ban for Vassar Students
Poughkeepsie,. N. May 16.
Sunday motoring by Vassar stu
dents has been placed under the
ban by the college authorities. The
edict was. not intended as' a step
toward a revival of the "blue laws,"
Jiut as a move for "safety first."- It
lias been the custom of many of the
students to spend their Sunday
afternoons whirling over the roads
around Poughkeepsie in company
with friends. ;'The great number of
motor accidents reported on Sun
days, in this section of the Hudson

decide that it would be unwise to

BROGAN ANSWERS
ATTACK-MADE BY
LEGION MEMBERS
C. of C. Head Writes Post 0f
ficials of His Attitude To
ward Executive Commit
tee Resolution. ,
. President I1. A. Brogan of ' the
Chamber of Commerce, criticised
by American Legion members for
his reported attitude in opposition
to a general bonus-to war veterans,
replied Saturday to a letter reach
ing him Friday night from Larry Ny
gaard and Lyman H. Wheeler, vic3
commanders of the Douglas county
American Legion post.
Friction between Legion and
Chamber of Commerce officials has
arisen over a resolution adopted by
the chamber executive committee
last Tuesday.
. President Brogan in his statement
asserts no action the chamber has
taken, or may take, could be the re
sult of any unfriendly feeling to
ward Legion members, or ex-service
men generally.
i Move for Reconsideration.
His letter follows: ,
"I have your letter of May 15 ad
drcsed to me as president of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce, tak
ing exception to the resolution re
cently passed by the executive com
mittee in regard to national legisla
tion to aid and benefit ex-service
men.
'Since that resolution was passed,
two members of your post, acting as
a committee, called on me and pre
sented their views regarding it. I at
once stated to thdm that I thought
the action ot the executive commit
tee m this matter was contrary to
the usual practices oLthe chamber
by which such matters are consider
ed in special committee before be
ing acted upon by the ; executive
committee, and an opportunity given"
to the interest affected to be fully
neard oetore hnal action.
tor that reason, I stated to the
committee that at the next meeting
ot ine executive committee on lues-
cay, May, 18, I would move for a
reconsideration of the resolution.
and suggest that it be referred to a
committee which would confer with
a committee from your post and'ex
change. views before taking further
action.
Son Belongs to Post
"This is all I am authorized to
say at this time on behalf of the
chambcr.ibut I feel" free to sav to
you that no action which the cham
ber has taken or may take couljT be
the result of any unfriendly feeling
towards the members of your post
or ex-service men generally.
It is impossible that an unfriend
ly attitude should originate w.ith the
chamber. Not only were its mem
ber andj the members of the Ameri-:
can Legion bound together by acts
of patriotic endeavor during the war
and after, but many of our members
are themselves ex-service men, and
many others are closely related to
members' of the legion. One of my
sor;s is a member of your post and
I can assure you that the relations
between him and me are quite cor
dials "A continuation of this friendly
relationship will. of. course,1 be
greatly aided by a spirit of mutual
toIerance and respect for each oth
er's opinions, which I am sure the
officers of the chamber will en
deavor to promote. y

LEGAL EYE SHUT
WHEN ITS A CASE
OVER MOONSHINE
Fiery Beverage Derived From
Secret Treatment Has No'
Court Standing.
Seattle, May '16v "Moonshininir"
does not exist legally.
Uesoite the fact that it is the of-
ffTcial cognomen applied in Kentucky
and iennessee to the pure distillate
of th'e corn and more recently to the
fiery beverage derived from the
secret treatment of raisins, it has no
standing in federal court.
A decision handed down here bv
Judge Neterer in United States dis
trict court made this plain.
An indictment was returned
against L. P. Mars, arractor, charged
with possession of "moonshine." A
demurrer against the indictment was
tieled by the pctor s attorneys, hold
ing that failure to define "moon
shine" invalidated the' indictment.
And Judge Nfterer.held that the de
murrer was correct and dismissed
the charges.
I here is no statement in the in
dictment that the alcohblic spirits
was wrongfully brought intoi this
country, or was illegally in the cus
tody of any person, unless the term
'moonshine charges such fact," said
Judge Neterer in a written opinion.
"The term moonshine may have
derived the name from the fact- that
illicit conduct is frequently enacted
at night or at least in secret and
have relation to contraband intoxi
cants like the common law offense of
'owling applied to the offense oi
shipping wool or sheep out of the
kingdom of England. That name, is
said to have its origin in the fact
that" it was carried on in the night
when the owl was abroad.
"It may not be said, however,
that the term 'moonshine' in this
country has attained that degree of
judicial status when the 1 court can
judicially say that the term' moon
shine,' in an indictment charges con
traband intoxicant.
"The demurrer is sustained."

you find arithmetic hard?
H'm, that isn't saying much for your
cleverness. Nowadays, machines arc
made which can do all the simple
rules of arithmetic, add, divide, sub
stract and multiply.. Some will do
square root, and there is one which
can work logarithms. '
That ought to give one an idea.
A machine ican be a complicated
thing, but it is based on a few sim
ple principles. , .Think of it, every
liachine in the world is a combina
tion, of five simple principles, the
level;, the inclined plane, the wedge,
the screw and the wheel. .Yet there
ire machines which can do arhhme-
tic, and arithmetic seems to need
thought. In other words, there are
machines which seem to think.
f In order to study arithmetic, so as
to do it easily, don't merely learn
the rules and do the sums. t Find
out the principles that lie behind it.
For example, tke fractions. 'Mean
things, fractions, sometimes. But
if, just once, when you have to add
1 3-5 to 1 2-5 (or any more compli
cated fraction) or 1.6 and 1.4 which
is the same thing, you will find it a
help to draw a line 1 3-5 inches' long,
another 1 2-5 inches long and another
3 inches long, divided into fifths. The
putting of the two first lines, end to
end, will produce the third. And
once you've done that, fractions will
stand out before the eye. The trick
is solved because you can see the
principle. . ,
.If you know, anyone who has an
adding machine or a counting ma
chine jn his office, a"sk him to let
you see it. Just by figuring out
how" wheels do the sums, you'll see
how you caJi do them, .lgebra gets
to be easy when 'you can think- it
in that way, and "trigonometry is
easier still. It helps a lot to handle
arithmetic as a thing you see, in
stead of merely as a process that
goes on in yo'ur head.

Three years of life for one day of
dancing! -
When some stream flows slowly
througlj a meadow, now towards the
end of May, ano especially on a day
when the sn is bright, watch these
aerial -dancers, some blue, some
green, some with their wings shining
like niother-of-prarl. So lovely, but
for one dayl Evening sees them
wearied. The trout leap at them. A
few raindrops beat them down. 'Thv
stream which has been their home
for years while they lived as larvas.
carries them away. ne day of
dancing, without stoppingfo rest
for they have no mouths and can
not eat and then the end.
In some parts of the world in
Australia, for example--tiiee ephe
merides are so numerous that along
the banks of the piles, of dead may
flies are carted away f.or manure.
In China, such swarms have been
seen' that the air was as a dense fog,
and one could not see across the
street. They are common in France,
and near Paris great swarms of
them have choked the street lamps
so that -they could not be lighted,
and in the evening, when their
strength failed these fragile injects
fell like the flakes of a snowstorm.
y Though among the most beautiful
of the nature studies of spring, there
is a great deal about them which
science as yet -does not know. The
boy or girl with a love for nature,
and possessor of a pocket magni
fying glass, can do a really valuable
work for science by catching and
carefully drawing with all the ex
actitude possibleseach species of
mayfly found along a certain stream.
You might find a new species, and to
anyone with the naturalist's feeling,
the discovery of a new species is as
great a find as "striking it rich" is
to a gold prospector, or locating a
spring is to a thirsty man.

WHY?-
Are' Bubbles Round?
(Copyright, 1920, Bj The Wheeler
Syndicate, Ine.)
A sosrtT bubble," ty use as an
f example the most'Tamiliar kind
ot bubble, is merely a hollow ball
of water with air inside. The
soap, , partially dissolved, forms
a very thin film or skin over the
air which is endeavoring to force
its way through it. This air ex--erts
an equal pressure in all
directions and, thus forces the
soap-film out af an equal distance
from !the Center of the com
pressed air, thus forming a per
fect sphero or ballot the moment
th bubble is first made.
However;after the bubble has
been floating for a few moments,
the water drips down toward the
bottom of the ball and collects
there in drops. The weight of
these pull' the bubble out of shape
'spoil its perfect symmetry
and increase the pressure of .the
air inside to such a degree that
it breaks through the film and the
bubble bursts.

too.
Every once in a while alipost
every day, in fact the earth itrem
hles and shakes in the happy islands.
The houses are built mostly of wood
and paper, an'd if the earthquakes
tumble -them over they sometimes
catch fire, but if the nicest things
are safe in the kura it doesn't mat
ter so much if the house is burned
up. you see. x
There-arc always plenty of fires
for bdys to sec, hi Japan.
Taro had seen ever so many be
fore he was 5 years old and the
twins had"ioth felt ever se many
earthquakes. They were so used to
them that they didn't mind them any
more than you mind a thunder
shower. .
All of Taro's kites were kept in
the kura. The big dragon kite had J
a box all to itself; Takes 3a dolls
were there, too but. dear me here
1 am telling you about' kites and
dolls, when I should be telling you
about the picture of the crow: and
what they did with it.
First the twins' father took it
down off the wall and rolled it up.
Then he took it in his hand and he
and Taro and Talte all went out into
the garden.
