PROBES REPORT

BOOTLEGGERS
Prohibition Commissioner Has
'Information Government Of
ficials Co-Operating With
Whisky Ring.
Washington, Aug. 26. The exist
ence of a close working agreement
between agents of the whisky ring
in New York and other cities and of
ficials charged with the enforcement
of the prohibition law was admit
ted by Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer today.
The commissioner said that he
has been devoting considerable time
to an. attempt to get all the facts
so that he might discipline the men
who may be found guilty.
"For the last three or four
weeks," said the commissioner, "I
have had eight or 10 men working
in New York? City alone trying to
run down these reports. I have been
given a good deal of information to
the effect that conditions there
in prohibition enforcement were
'crooked,' but I have not be;n able
to pin a case on anyone.
."People have come to my office
frequently and told nie that condi
tions in several of the large cities
were bad; that the prohibition law
was being openly violated and that
government agents were co-operating
with men in the liquor traffic. I
have urged in each case that the facts
be given to me, but have never been
given anything substantial.
"If any person has real evidence
to prove that agents appointed by
this office are in collusion with the,
liquor sellers, for heaven's sake let
me have those facts. I will deal
with the men as promptly as any
one could wish.
"It should be realized that in
building up a big organization like
this sonic of the men put to work
are bound to turn out badly. But
the office will 'weed out' all those
who are in any way concerned with
the continuance of the traffic if we
can find out who they are."
As a result of gross violations of
the law in several of the large cities,
' it is expected that congress will be
asked to add several million dollars
to the appropriation for prohibition
enforcement. Commissioner Kramer-
says the $7,000,000 set aside by
the last congress "is totally inade
quate." He has been in conference
this week with treasury officials who
are- preparing the estimates for the
next session of congress. He stated
today that the exact amount has not
been agreed upon, but will be con
siderably larger than the fund now
it his disposal.
Car Distribution Is
I Opposed by Venango
As Unfair to Farmers
.-.Venanga, Neb., Aug. 26. (Spe
cial.) The Venango Community
club has intimated in a letter to the
- i&ate Railway commission that the
One-station one-car system of dis
tributing grain cars during the pres
ent shortage is unfair,
' 2Tht club pointed out that Venan
go 'had loaded 27 cars while Grant,
the county seat of Perkins county,
, had loaded only 16.
- The letter points out to the state
commission that in proportion to
acreage and wheat on hand, if Grant
loaded 16 cars Venango should have
liad 80, as five times as much wheat
is raised in the. Venango country as
in the -country tributary to Grant.
The letter contains the further in
formation that the 27 cars from Ve
nango were loaded with 1919 wheat
and practically none of the 1920 har
vest has yet been placed on the mar
ket. ,
An invitation is extended the com
mission to visit Venango and ascer
tain the truth of the Community
Club's claim that more wheat is
waiting cars at this station than at
all other stations on the "high line"
from Holdrege to the state line
' combined.

cated on Susquehanna
River Tradition of
Mine There, i
Fort Deposit, Md., Aug. 26.
While investigating the flow of nat
ural gas from the bottom of the Sus
quehanna river yesterday the men
engaged in the work discovered a
gold-bearing quartz running into the
hills. All this happened at the base
of the dam of the Pennsylvania Wa
ter and Power company, Holtwood,
Pa. That Indians who inhabited ihe
valley before the advent of the white
man worked at a "gold mine up the
river" has been a tradition that has
sent many in search of the treasure.
The story told of the discovery is
that they were investigating the jet
of gas that has been burning in the
very bottom of the river since it was
ignited by workmen engaged in the
construction of the dam m 1908. A
member of the party, noticing the
quartz, investigated and traced the
vein into the York county hills. The
party brought samples of their rind
and shipped them to Washington
for assay.
The prospectors have procured a

This comment centers upon a
hardly legible piece of correspond
ence received yesterday in the county
attorney s office from J. h. Markey
of Columbus, Neb., in reply to an
order citing him for failure to sup
port his divorced wile and two chil
dren. The letter reads:
"Dear County Attorney Yours of

understand this court order business.

am not very bright on thfs court
dope, and as to alimony,- I don't
know who I am in debt with in
Omaha, and you did not say who

"Yours respectfully, J. E. Starkey."
Now, Mr. Beal wonders whether
there are two Starkeys in Columbus.

It was a sad-eyed shipping clerk,
No references giving,
Who asked us for a job of work
With which to earn a living.
And when we cried: "There's no excuse
For any idle man, sir,"
' He let his lachrymals run loose
And made the following answer:
"For seven years or thereabout

Connected with the shipping out
Of records phonographic.
And then, like Little Buttercup,
By some ill star inspired,
One night I mixed a shipment up
And that's what got me fired.
"Next day a letter, I was told,
Came in from Locust Valley,

THE VALUE OF CREDIT.
By J. J. Mundy.
Maybe the pride you take in say
ing "you never owed a man a dollar
in your life" is the reason why you
have not more dollars to your credit
today. ,
It is no disgrace to borrow money
in a worthy undertaking; in fact,
nearly every man who has met with
success is or has been a heavy bor
rower. Borrowed capital keeps a big per
centage of business goiilg.
If you wait till you have saved
enough to go into business without
asking for a loan you may never be
in business for yourself.
True, you must have some cap
ital, but it is foolish for you to be
missing a good chance to make
money by waiting to save enough
to float some enterprise.
H you feel that you have a good
business plan which should bring
you good returns on the investment,
why lose unnecessary time and in
come because, your pride will not
allow you-to owe a dollar to any
man ? ' '
If you have built up a reputation
for honesty and industry and -frugality
it will not be difficult for you
to get some financial backing for a
business founded on sound business
principles.
Don't let your pride become a
loadstone.
! I'M THE GUY
I'M THE GUY who thinks he has
a right to flirt with every girl he
takes a fancy to. but expects the
girl he is gnS with steadily to per
mit absolutely no attention from
other fellows.
She's mo girl, and I want to be
sure of her. I don't like to have
other fellows buzzing around her
because she might get to liking one
of them better than she does me and
then I'd lose her. I want her home
when I want to call and I don't
want to have to worry about her.
But when it comes to my going
f round -with other girls, that's dif
ferent. That's my privilege. We're
not married yet ar.d I mean to have
all the fun I can before I have to
settle down.
If I meet girl now and then
who appeals to me for the moment
it's nobody's affair but mine if4 1
take her to' a dance or to the movies.
That's a fellow's privilege. , m
But I want my girl to toe the
mark. That's my' rights And if she
wants me to be her steady she's
got to understand it.

MONTAGUE
WHY?
Are Bells Used in Churches?
(Copyright, 1920. by th; Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.)
No matter Jiow far we dig back
into authentic history we find
traces of metal instruments which
yielded musical notes when
struck by metal wands or.clap
pers. Aaron, for example, is de
scribed as wearing golden bells
upon his priestly apparel, anil
small bronze bells have been
taken from the., palace of Nim
roud in Ninevah. In the Far
East, where the use of large bells
is supposed to have originated,
"bells of justice" were used long
before the Christian era, but, ow
ing to the secrecy with which the
early Christians were forced to
practice their faith, church bells
did not come into common use in
Europe until about the sixth or
seventh century. Prior to this
time, the monks announced the
hcur of prayer by blowing a
trumpet or rapping with a ham
mer upon the doors of the monas
teries. Bishop Paulinus of Nola, in
Campania, is generally considered
to have been the first to recog
nize the value of bells as a signa?
for summoning congregations to
church, and, in support of this
throty, etymologists point out
that the words "nola" and "cam
pana" appear both in Latin and
Italian as synonyms for "bell."
Paulinus, it is stated, was an
noyed at the excuses offered by
his congregations for not being
prompt in their attendance at
church services. At this time
during the fifth century devices
for keeping track of time were
very crude and inefficient, and
members of the bishop's flock
would often arrive long after the
service had been concluded. It
was in order that they might have
no excuse for being late that
Paulinus is supposed to have in
stalled the first church bell,
though its metallic clang was at
first opposed as savoring of pa
gan practices.
Parents? Problems
4. Is it good or bad for a girl of
12 or 14 to "mind the baby?"
This is good, provided it is not
overdone. : The care of a baby is
tiring, even to a grown-up. A girl
of 12 or 14 is growing fast, and her
strength should be conserved. Let
her care for the baby for a few hour3
a day, but not during all her free
hours. It will develop her sense of
responsibility to have some care of
the younger child,

A THRILL AT THIRTY
By A. Maria Crawford.
It had been one of those youth
ful affairs that merge into matri
mony before a man has outgrown
the pin feather itagc of life. And
after ten years of prosperity in the
big city. Bob Clayton found that
his wife persisted in holding to the
ideals of Maynardsville, which he
had nautrally discarded, in dressing
according to his income in the old
days of struggle and in keeping
house, as her mother had kept one
before her. When he had broached
the subject of moving into a fashion
able apartment house, she gently but
firmly declined and so they had con
tinued to dwell in the brick veneered
house with its sloping lawn in front
and its fruit trees and friendly little
garden in the rear. The only ad
dition had been a modest garage to
hold the roadster which he had in
sisted on buying. ,
He -wanted her to dres, to enter
tain and to live in the luxurious
style which the wives of his inti
mate business friends maintained.
He felt reasonably sure that he was
judged by such standards and he ex
perienced a growing resentment
against Kate because she denied him.
There was only one point on which
she would. argue with him. That was
about children. She wanted them.
He was violently- opposed to them.
Finally there came a time when
he realized that his nerves were on
edge. Everything ' that ?he said or
did seemed to irritate him so when
she announced, one ' morning at
breakfast, that shewas going to vis
it her sfsttr for a month, be felt a
real sense- cf gratitude, because she
was going awa.
A little later, he entered his officegi
whistling like a bAy. He was plan
ning to live, live exactly as he
pleased, while she was gone.
His pretty stenographer lifted her
marceled head and smiled at him.
He smiled back and tossing his hat
on the rack, crossed the room and
sat down on her desk, swinging his
feet in a wholly undignified manner.
Most of his associates had light,
harmless affairs with girls, affairs
that lent a certain zest to the dreary
routine of life. He was young. Kate
belonged to her mother's time. He
would take what the gods offered and
afterward settle down to reminiscent
old age.
He had never touched another
woman since he had married Kate.
He wondered if he would be awk
ward about it. if the pretty, artful
creature who had given him so many
opportunities would know him fof
the novice that he was and would
laugh at him behind his back. He
leaned over and picked up one of her
soft, white, carefully I manicured
hands. '
"How about a little ride with me
Saturday night and dinner somewhere
on the road? Sound good to you?'
He cleared his throat. His start
on the downward path had a man-of-the-world
sound to his own ears.
"Rather," she said and bent chum
mily toward him.
He gave her hand an additional
squeeze. "Look pretty!" hej admon
ished. "Where shall I pick you up?n
"I can come here to the office,
clip can! iriiilelesslv. "There's nobody
here, you know, on Saturday after-J
He reddened a little. "All right,
he answered. "About five."!
He went to his own desk. He had
undoubtedly carried the thing off
with a high hand. Nevertheless )ie
had a little feeling of dissatisfaction.
The girl had been a bit too keen
about it to suit him. He chose the
role of pursuer. If she had only
been a little uncertain, if she had
managed to hold him off for a while,
the thing would have been exhilarat
ing. Things had changed pretty
rapidly since he was twenty and
Kate seventeen. She had been as
shy as a woodland nymph. But, of
course, that had been n altogether
different sort of experience. He had
been honest, above-board, deeply ni
love, looking forward with all a boy s
brave dreams to the sanctity of mar
riage. Now he was thirty, hunting
a new thrill before age caught him
unawares and grimaced at his fu
tile hopes. He wanted to live, as
other men lived, to drain the goblet
of life while its red wine could stim
ulate desire, to dance (while youth
pulsed the blood hotly in his veins.
That night he faced Kate over
their flower laden, candle lighted
(able with something akin to pity
for her in his heart. Poor girl I She
was content to keep a house sweet
anH rlran. to nlan and hclo prepare
appetizing meals, to mend his clothes,
to embroider linens. 10 oo uie uums
and and one uninteresting things that
wnmpn have to do. over and over
again, every day in the year. There
were certainly no more mrins in
life for her. If she were the type
of woman, he reflected, who enter
tained, who traveled a great deal,
who was sophisticated enough to
know her way about witn tne ave
rage men, it' would be quite different.
Mindful of her departure on Friday
morning, he kissed her with more
warmth than usual that night and she
clung to him rather breathlessly, for
just a minute. He wondered at that.
Kate was leaving on the eleven
thirtv in the mornine and he dutiful
ly offered to uro back from the office
to drive her to the station. But
she demurred at that plan, saying
that she would call a taxi and that

he was not to be disturbed to ac
commodate her. She had made ar
rangements with old Martha, she
told him, to clean and air the house
every day and she hoped that he
would be quite comfortable and go
about with his friends and have a
good time while she was away. He
assured her that he would not want
to go much without her but he would
read, play golf and manage, some
how, to pass his' leisure 'time away
until she came home again. He felt
almost tender and lover-like once
more when he said good-bye. She
had always before seemed to regret
leaving him, but on this particular
occasion, she seemed really anxious
to be off. He wondered at that, too.
The thrill he had been anticipat
ing failed to put in its appearance
on Saturday morning. He dressed
himself with extreme care, ordered
a very elaborate dinner at a rather
noisy, notorious, road house and
stopping at a jeweler's on his way
down town, bought a handsome
mesh bag just to start the affair off
with a little bang. It was almost
ten o'clock when he entered his of
fice and glancing around hurriedly,
he perceived that his stenographer
was not in her. accustomed place. A
clerk came to him at once, informing I
him that the house was about to lose
one of their lareest contracts for
the year and that the manager hoped
that he. the employer, would send
off a wire and a special delivery letter
right away and try to adjust things
without delay. Upon nervous in
auirv. he learned that his pretty
stenographer hid telephoned that
she would not be down early that
morning. Taking advantage of him
already, he fumed. When just at
that moment, she whirled in, very
much powdered, very much rouged
and very much perfumed for the oc
casion. Her slim silhouette was ex
actly what it should be, according to
the latest issue of the fashion jour
nals. . .
He was tired and hot and cross a9
a bear when at last he had communi
cated with the party in question and
discovered, after telegraphing back
and forth for three hours, that a
mistake in one of the pretty stenog
rapher's letters was the reason for
the firm's hesitancy in placing their
order. That did not help matters
any. - . . i
He longed, somehow unaccount
ably for the soothing touch of
Kate's hand, for a good home-cooked
meal he had eaten four meals
at the club and at different restau
rants and he was already belching
from an attack of indigestion. He
(bought of the clean soap-and-water
smell of Kate's little house dresses.
How easy it had always bten -tcr
him to go to sleep with his head on
her comfortable lap. She never
nauseated anybody by spraying her
self with a half bottle of sickeninglv
sweet perfume. Kate had sense. If
he could only see her for an hour,
tell her how much he loved her,
how glad he was that her influence
had kept him true to the old ideals
of high thinking and right'living and
how unutterably dear she was!
Eyes and brain clear again, he
walked quictlv to the little would
be vamp in his office. "It is impos
sible for me to keep my aopoint
mcnt with you tonight." he told her
tonelessly. "I am going out cf
town to spend Sunday with my
wife."
The girl laughed scornfully and
flounced out of the office He sent
the office boy fdr a time table. I It
was after he had wired his message
to Kate, telling her that he would
