Vys nd means of helping Ne
braska farmer wai the principal
subject of discussion by the NcSras
, k Chamber of Commerce secre
taries in their annual conference in
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce
rooms Friday and Saturday.
R, II. Atwood, Chester, Neb., pre
sented th subject, "The New Busi
ness Manthe Farmer; What Are
We Doing for Him)"
Hit talk was followed by a dis
cusslon led by H. F. Mcintosh, man
ager of the agricultural bureau of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
Outlines Organized Interests.
Mr. Mcintosh outlined briefly the
organized interests that exist for the
uplift and betterment of farmers, and
' explained that because of the magni
tude of a city such as Omaha, the
Chamber of Commerce cannot carry
os) lines of work that will directly
react) the farmer.
Therefore, he said, the Omaha bu
reau of agriculture has confined its
efforts mainly to assisting such or
ganisations already in touch with
farm problems of education, co-operation,
and production.
"One of these problems is abso
lutely fundamental," he declared. "It
comprehend! all problems of agri
cultural progress and prosperity.
This, problem is to keep the tiller of
the soil a land owning farmer.
- Cattle Industry Problem.
"The other pressing problem is the
rehabilitation of the cattle industry.
"Chambers of commerce and all
right thinking men must address
themselves to the, solution of this
tenantry problem. As tecretaries of
Chambers of Commerce, you find
this very difficult to do because too
many 'of your members are land
lords. Bu,t I would focus your at
tention on the subject because the
landless people are a discontented
people. 'v
"the rehabilitation of the cattle
industry and stabilizing it against
future admtity is of importance be-
cause a prosperous live stock in
dustry i the basis of any sound,
economic aystem of agriculture.
Off to Chicago.
"This is becaute live stock is pro
ducsd largely from by-products of
wasHl in farming operations, and
through consumption of this waste
they restore or maintain the fertility
of the soil"
The secretaries, from out m the
state with representatives from the
Oman Chamber of Commerce left
on special train for Chicago last
night to attend the national secre
taries' convention there, 'beginning
Monday. October 25.
Labor Faces Hard
Fight In England
Plea for Industrial Peace Ii
Made at Convention of
Trades Union Congress.
Loudon, Oct. J3.J. H. Thomas,
chairman of the trades union con
. gress, jn his opening address at the
innual meeting at Portsmouth pre
dicted the hardest winter far labor it
Has experienced in many years.
He made a plea for industrial
peace, in view of the bad trade out
look, saying that labor did not want
to fight, but was. at the same time
determined not to give up the re
sults of years of struggle and priva
tion at the demand of the capitalists.
Referring to the recent action of
labor in interfering with the Russo
Polish policy, Thomas said that it
was frankly a challenge to the Brit
ish constitution, but was justified by
the crisis.
The council of action, he declared,
was organized only to meet this
crisis, and would be disbanded im
mediately after the object for which
it was organized, complete independ
y ence of Poland, and peace with Rus
sia, was carried out. At the same
time he added that the action did
not carry with it the approval of
the soviet method of government.

High School Students y
Destroy Co Photograph
Display of a picture of Governor
Cox in Commerce High school Fri
day drew fire from- student sup
porter! of Senator Harding, who
lore up the lithograph. A fistic bat
tle was narrowly averted.
By JOHN CLAYTON,
((lilcfo Tribune rui-lfo tkrttte.i
Constantinople, Oct. 23. It was
on April 28 that the Azerbaidian
bolshevik republic was declared. The
bolshevik troops had not yet entered
Haku, but were within a day's march
of the city, entering it the following
tlay The overturn of the democratic
government followed a long period
o propaganda in which the com
munists recruited most of the more
ignorant working classes to their
banners.
They were held in check, however,
until the troops of the Red army
were within striking distanee. when
the government- deserted Baku and
those of the bourgeois who could
leave the city fled in panic, leaving
it at the mercy of the small, law
less group of radicals.
The story of the development of
tolshevism there after the. 28th of
April is much the same as in Rus
sia during the winter of 1917-1918.
Better technique, more . systematic
methods of terror, less open dis-;
order, marked their advent. But
their purposes and their acts were
much the same as those of the early
period of the Russian revolution.
Cheka in Charge. .
The revolutionary committee of
the local organization at once as
sumed control of the town, but with
the arrival of the Russians the fol
lowing day they were superseded by
the Cncka, composed mostly of rep
lescntatives from Moscow..
At once the requisitioning of
houses began. It was decred that the
bolshevik residents must have 15
cubic feet of space, while 10 feet
only was allowed for the bourgeois.
In many cases tight or more mem-
bers of refined families were forced
to occupy a single room, living, eat
ing and sleeping there. '"The com
fortless, miserable condition in
which the people have to live beg
gars description." declared my in-
fermant. "No respect is paid to the
separation of the sexes. In conse
quence of this enforced crowding it
in common to find two or three mar
ried couples or several men and
women not related, occupying one
room." ,
Crowded living condition! brought
suffering which was. aggravated bv
the shortage of food. As usual,
wherever' bplshevism goes, famine
followed soon after, and the Baku
workman) who since'the arrival of
the American reliefxhas had at least
enough to keep himself alive, has
seen the bread ration dwindle day
by day until by the middle of July
he was forced to be content with
one ponnd of bad black bread daily
for himself, and none for the other
members of his family unless they,
too, were workers. The scarcity of
other .supplies also is grave.
Food Requisitioned.
All food in the city was requisi
tioned, and the first shipload ob
tained was sent via the Volga to
Moscow, "as a present from the
grateful inhabitants of Baku." All
other .objects of commerce have been
declared the property of the gov
trnment, and since July 17 no pri
vate shops or market stalls have been
permitted to remain open, alt food
coming from government sourcesl
Thus in three short months Baku
has been brought to khov all the
forms of suffering which follow in
the wake of bolshevism. The Azer
baidian government attempted to al
leviate conditions by granting man
dates exempting certain classes from
requisition, but none of their acts
were respected by the Cheka. So far
as the Russians are concerned their
government does not exist. N
Killing of Woman? Love
Cause for Murder, Writer Says
Paris, Oct. 23. Feminist lectures
in the St. La.-are women's prison are
being conducted daily by Mme. Bes
sarabe, the, French playwright, who
has confessed to murdering her husi
band and shipping the body to
Nancy in a trunk.
Inmates of the prison are permits
ted to talk freely during exercise
hour and Mme. Bessarabe delivers
little talks on thcrights of the sex.
She is, much applauded and is re
ported to have gained numerous con
verts. In her spare time she is writing a
book in blank verse to he entitled
"The Husband I killed," in which
she extols the theory that if a man
kills a woman's love and thereby her
soul it is open to her to slay his
body.
Man' Who Lives With Wife
15 Years Entitled to Prize
Kid McCoy Former Boxer and Now a Film Star,
Who Has Made Eight Trips toJUtar, Has
Some New Releases on Marriage.
Los Angeles, Oct. 23. Kid Mc
Coy, long distance mrfrriage cham
pion, whose latest wife has just been
granted a divorce, has returned to
, ; Los Angeles on business matters.
; McCoy, whose real name is Norman
; Selby, and who is well known in
ti r Tf, boxing circles, and also as a film ac-
u . , , tor, hat the following to say regard
vO m9 'he marriage institution after
'.V ' ' eight experiments at the marriage
altar:. r ' ,;
h-y. "Any man who stays married to
the same' wife for 15 years should 1e

iryzi-f "Wives 'are like fine paintings no

.T-r , "Brunettes are the most satisfying

tave been blondes.
; j.-s "Lots of wives keep a man young.

. . pathetic friends.
k "I'm not a Bluebeard I'm a
.; ' orophet."
McCoy has been collecting fine
paintings in France and Vilked of
wives in terms of pictures i
:5:-V ) '
He was asked: "What characteris
tics make the model wife?" and re
plied: "How can I say? In paintings
one craves a Greuze pastel on day
and a voluptuous Rubens the next."
McCoy's long list of wives include
Lottie Piehlcr, a girl iron) the farm;
Julia Woodward, whom he married
three timesIndianola Arnold, comic
opera singer; Mrs. Edward C. Ellis,
a widow; Edna Valentine, a New
York society girl, and the present
Mrs. Kid McCoy, who was Dagmar
Dalgren, a dance,'.
Treat 'Em Rougb,
T-he former ring star concluded his
philosophizing on matrimpny by say
ing: "A wife should be fiery and
have some conception of change. In
return for her charms a man should
treat her rpugh. Women like it.
Why, since Dagmar filed her com
plaint against me for a divorce sev
eral women have written and wired
to me that if I am really as cruel as
Dagmar makes out I must be an
ideal husband." '
McCoy says jeajousy has been the
cause of most of his marital troubles.
But he has not lost faith in woman
kind. Far from it, for he asserted:
"I hope to be able to live to marry
many more." J
