There they organised the Nebras-
ka Humane society, one of the tirst
to be. organized in America. 1
The meeting of the American
i Humane association held in Omaha
last week, was the forty-fourth an
! nual affair. '
Apparently Nebraska was fore
most in organizing to care for dumb
. animals, as' in many other onward
and upward movements.

"' A committee of nine was appointed
to prepare a constitution .and by
laws and discuss animal laws then in
force. The following citizens whose
names have been indelibly written in
Nebraska history were the first of
ficers of the society: A
James W. Savape, president; B. E.
P. Kennedy, J. H. Kellom, James
T. Allen. Mrs. St. John Goodrich,

James W. Savage, , corresponding
secretary. .
In Swaddling Clothes.
' . In those days Nebraska as a state
was hardly out of swaddling clothes
and the public school system , was
being organized. Through publicity
and personal solicitation the charter
members of this society introduced
humane education in the schools ami'
stimufcted interest in the work of
awarding gold medals to the police
department for , assisting he de
partment , It also succeeded in
' passing early legislation for preven
tion of cruelty to children and
animals. 1
Shortly' after the ;ncipiency of the
society, the late Alfred Millard
joied its ranks and for years was
one of the foremost members M He
looked after the always necessary
cog in every organization ; and for
years as treasurer of the Nebraska
Humane society kept its skirts clear
of debt. r i ;

When the 1920 national conven
tion was won by Omaha, the society
took on new impetus and its activi
ties grew by leaps and bounds ! in
the last year. In that time a chil
; dren's aid division has been es
: tablished under Miss Gtienn P.
- Godard, the women's auxiliary, has
'. displayed unprecedented activity and
r '.the animal rescue department has
" . established an enviable recrd. ,
, A poster contest carried on among
i .. school children, under supervision of
, .the women's auxiliary, was one of
" 4 the most successful achievements of
the year. This was offering prizes
" to school children preparing the best
V posters pertaining to the work of the
! society. The contest resulted in
.7 2,594 childish ideas depicted in pic
tures being presented to judges ap-
' f pointed by the auxiliary,

library, under, the auspices of the
V Omahit Society of Fine Arts, and 27

To help finance the new children's
aid division, the auxiliary planned
,4 and carried through most successful
ly the Humane Society Button day,
which netted $6,500 for the ensuing
i year. ' '. ;

, Miss Guenn, as' head of the chil
dreh's aid,; division, has investigated
the cases of 54 children in Omaha.
i She has arrange or the birth and
- future care of 2 children born out
" of wedlock.
The animal rescue department, un
v der C. E. McClain, has in oneirear.

complaints. ' :
Use of Taps. '
' A tap should never be used in a
cored or rough hole. A heavy flat
' arm shduld be run through to take
out the scale, sand or projections.
Plenty of good lard should be used
in cutting the threads with a die.
Very often a die tap is ruf f!ei when
,1 ' it is first used, simply because there
is no oil on the work. Taps should
, never be used without plenty of good
oil. Taps will frequently wear off
threads unless well oiled.
, Sharpening Files.
Worn files may be sharpened by
" lacing them in a solution of sul
phuric acid and water, made in pro
' , rortions of one part acid to two of
water. The files may be left over
night, after which they should be
rinsed . in 'clear water. The acid
should be put in an earthen vessel.
.' . - T
Mohair, tops should be cleaned
'frequently by dusting off and brush
ing briskly with a stiff brush. On
the other hand, pantasote tops are
best cleaned with a soft brush dipped
in water in which is a little am
monia, after which the top should be
nibbed dry. Pantasote curtains may
be treated in the same way. Do not
us gasoline or 1 kerosen to clean
the tops.

')y GKOIIGE.ADE. ;
The republican victory la' impend
ing, not because of opposition to the
League of Nationa, but because men
and womfrn wish .to register their
deep disgust bft noting against the
party of which Mr. Wilson has been
the figurehead and the, forequarters
and the hindquarters through many
months of suffering,
The home, folks are seeing a-lot
of things in ' perspective, now that
they couldn't see through the smoke
and dust of a world jvar In 1918.
They seo (even the hiisguided
farmers of Khsas arid Nebraska,
who thought that the price of wheat
was the paramount issutf in,, 1910.)
that the refusal of Mr. tR'Hson and
his boy choir to get ready for the
inevitable conflict with Germany was
stupidity colossal and almost unbe
lievable. ' ! " ,
The thousand of citizens who
voUd for Mr. Wilson because they
thought it would be a nice thing to
kees out of war 'and keep on making
money did not know of that damn
ing and piled-up evidence of Ger
many's perfidy. , Mr.-- Wilson con
cealed the facts brought to him by
the secret service, and Colonel House
and Mr. Gerard and numerous other
emissaries and continued .to. admin

During that long falt,whiler we
were under sentence of war, and try
ing to hide the truth from ourselves,
Mr. "Wilsoa took no counsel' from, the
strong men or tne nation, n He nad
hasheeshed himself into the belief
that- he was the only strong man in
the nation. : -
Only the mandolin players were
admitted to the royal presence. The
Creels and Bakers and ' JosephuseS:
knelt before him and burned -incerfse
and sang their sexless love songs.
That pre-war period now lingers
in the memory as a harrowing night
mare. One day the White House
would be bleating like-a lamb and
the next day it would b roaring like
a.lion.i. . : ':
Finally we kicked into the war.
Do you remembejuthat ringing proc
lamation as to "making the world
safe for democracy?" If so, can you
remember a little further back, say
to January, 1917, when our presi
dent advised all of the fighting na
tions to , lay down their arms and
accept pece without victory?"'.
'If the;world had to be made safe
for ' democracy in April, why had
any 'one favored letting democracy
go to smash in the preceding Janu
ary? '.
We didn't go into the war to make
the world safe for anything, i .We
went In because we had been slapped
and kicked, until we either had to
fight or go hide in the cellar. After
we went in, everyone hoped, of
course, that the war would result
in a grand clean-up or a settlement
which would be a prelude to many
years of peace.
. Although Mb. Wilson seemed to
regard the war aa an allegorical
tableau, of which he was the central
figure, it is now a matter of record
that the brunt of the war work was
cheerfully assumed by men who had
previously been mistrusted by Mr.
Wilson and who, at the present writ'
lng. are not to be classed as his, de
fenders.
Ton- may remember In 1918 It
was proclaimed from the White
House that voting the democratic
ticket would be . regarded at head-
auarteft'as an evidence of loyalty.
That supremely idiotic letter is still
one of the reasons why the demo
era t are going to be snowed under
this fall.
But the bulk of the burning re
sentment against Wilson has been
engendered since the signing of the
armistice.
We were emerging, dazed,' from
the agonies and overwork of a great
war. A hundred vexing domestic
problems confronted the powers at
Washington. In every mind there
was the desire for an immediate and
effective peace and a right-about
movement toward normal condi
tions. Every American who had been
a student of events probably took it
forgranted that the president would
rise ' above - partisan considerations
and send to the peace conference 'a
group of men experienced in state
craft, diplomacy and international
law. i i
The American people did not want
Mr. . Wilson to pick up and-.go to
Europe. That was where he and
his party lost out, definitely, with
the quiet, level-headed, meditative
voters. Mr. Wilson did the thing in
a most imperial manner special
ships and huge retinue and great ex-
penditures, and even those who had
followed him around the circus lot
through five years of . acrobatics be
gan to throw up their hands.
He went to Europe with a "man
date." Before going he had consult
ed with no one except the pale men
ials who brought flowers to him
every morning. He and hia policies
had Just been repudiated by on over
whelming majority at an election
which had been made a test contest
at hla own request In any other
country in the world the adverse vote
would have retired him to private
life. It never feezed the Doctor. He
dusted himself off and started to
Europe with a "mandate." It reads
like ,"Alice in Wonderland," doesn't

Sets Another Record
Reo dealers from Chicago and

swer to rumors that the automobile
business is at a standstill by Staging
the largest droveway ever made
from the Reo plant at Lansing on
October 2. .
The production of one day, Sep

dealers in the Chicago territory. The
day's, production was ,178 automo
biles, which sets aiiother'.record, be
ing the largest single day's output
ever attained at the Reo factory.
.There were 63 passenger cars and
115 'speed wagons fn the parade
which left Lansing for Chicago. The
great majority of the cars aad trucks
were handled direct by the 42 deal
ers who came to Lansing in two
special cars. The Reo Motor Car
Co., of Chicago handled the drive
away. '
Cloth Upholstery.
Cloth uphSlstery may best be
cleaned by beating curtains and
backs lightly, with a stick or carpet
beater, after which the accumulated
dust is whisked off with a brush.
Grease or oil may be removed by an
application xof lukewarm water and
ivory soap, applied with a woollen
cloth. There are a number of new
woollen cleaners which will .work
very well on cloth upholstery, but
gasoline and benzine have a tend
ency to spread instead, of to remove
dirt. , ; ..-'.'
Radiator Repairs.
In making repairs on the inside of
a cellular radiator with the ordinary
type of soldering iron an inexpert
workman , such as the ordinary car
owner is likely to be, is very likely to
start more joints leaking, so that the
radiator is worse after he gets

This is a job for an expert. '

It is intensely interesting to observe the
