Farmers Discuss
Plans to Market
Their Products
Method of Obtaining Fair
Prices to Be Taken Up at
Sleeting of Co-Operative
Association Here. -
Activities of thai committee' of
!7, recently appointed to study
marketing condition in the United
States with a view to advancing a
Uniform plan by which farmers can
market their products, was the prin
cipal matter brought before the
eighteenth annual convention of the
Nebraska Farmers' Co-operative
r ' Grain and Live ' Stock association,
which opened its sessions in the
Hotel Rome yestereday afternoon.
Speakers referred to the wonder
ful work that can be done for the
farmers in getting their produce to
. , markets at a fair and reasonable
price in return for their labor. The
-proposed program outlined by the
committee of 17, which 'is' represen-
tative of as many (farm organizations
throughout the country, will even
tually bring into existence a system
of marketing which! will, it is said,
do away . with'i speculation and
gambling on the Nw York and ChW
cago boards of trade.
Address of Welcome.
The address of welcome to more
than 400 delegates was delivered by
Hugh Mcintosh, manager of the 'ag
riculture bureau of the , Omaha
Chamber ,of Commerce, and Presi
dent Smith of the Omaha Grain Ex
change. Dan Miller of Dorchester and M.
N M Crandell of Nebraska City re
sponded for the directors and man
agers, respectively..,, 1
President Smith of the Omaha
' Grain Exchange and Mr. Mcintosh
jrt their addresses of welcome, told
the delegates their business is a mat
ter of concern to the people of the
city because upon ,its success de
pends the prosperity of the city.
When the farmer is not prosperous,
Mr. Mclntoslr said, there can be no
prosperity in the United States. All
prosperity depends upon a good fair
price for tam produce, ne saiu.
Financial Problem Slight.
k According to Mr. Smith there is
no exceptional financial problem for
the! farmer to meet as is reported
from many sources. Banks 'through-
out the state have tc cut. down on
. loans and ' extensions because the
, granting of credits the first six
months of this year far surpassed
any made during the war-at any
time They are only loaning to es
, sential industry, so the farmer ihould
not feci alarmed he said.
In making the opening address of
tile convention W. G. Eckhardt of
Illinois spoke of the importance of
pool selling to unify forces against
the pool buying by foreign govern
jtnentS, which is the cause to a great
'degree, he said, of the present loV
i price the farmer is getting for grain,
corn and other products..
v National Unit Planned.
He urged the farmers to inform
," themselves of the activities of the
organization be represents, the Amer
ican Farm Bureau' federation, and
also the plans the committee of 17
are working upon to organize the
co-operative farm organizations of
' the country into one national unit.
'The directors' session will be held
' in the Hotel Rome ballroom this
morning, ,when F. M. Meyers of
Omaha, national secretary, will de
. livetan address on VTerminal mar
keting." I v'
The managers' session will meet
this morning at 9 in the Hotel Castle
ballroom. The conveniton will con
' i tinue its sessions through tomorrow
. 'and closing with a tour of the stock
yards. '
Financial Rehabilitation
j Plans for China A,re Sent
i New York, Nov. 16. Definite pro
posals for the financial rehabilitation
k of China, the outgrowth pf recent
discussions here among representa
tives of large financial firms of
Great Britain, France, Japan and the
United States, have been sent to
Peking for consideration by thcl
, Chinese government. tttwas learned
here today. Frederick W.. Stevens,
representative of the American
group of bankers, is en route to
Peking and is expected to negotiate
personally with the Chinese govcrn-
' merit regarding the financial sug
' gestions. - v
Jury Decides Family May
' Keep Cat in Apartment
Ouster proceedings brought by
Irving M. Sorenson, manager of the
Helen apartments, against Mr, and
Mrs. Frank A. Kennedy in muni
cipal court yesterday on grounds
that the Kennedys kept a Persian
cat in their- apartment for three
weeks, were lost by the plaintiff
; when a jury-brought in a verdict fa-
voring the Kennedys.
The . same Persian cat, named
"Kewpie." was the central figure in
a disputed ownership case last surii
' trier, possession of Kcwpic finally
being won by Mrs. Kennedy.
I'M THE GUY
I'M THE GUY who dots his con
versation ' with foreign words and
phrases. ,
I'm keen on displaying my know
ledge of languages. And besides the
.foreign tongues express ideas. ever
so much more clearly than does our
good old Anglo-Saxon. So I inject
French,, Italian and German words
into the general exchange of ideas.
I'll admit I'm not very strong on
the pronunciation, and I've not ab
solutely clear! ideas of the correct
use of the terms. But what's a lit
tle thing like that? No one notices
that Everyone is astounded at my
linguistic ability.
So why should you appoint your
selfva committee of one to tell me
t stick to. English, or to take, out
my French Ion a little exercise, be
cause tt' rheumatic I've heard peo
ple like you before. You're just
jealous, that's all. You should do
a little studying and, you would un
derstand. - x
However if you want to rave
about my fondness for French and
other languages, don't let me stop
you. I won't hold it against you, I'm
sorry, that's all, that you are so un-
erogressive.

What course should be followed
with a boy of 10 who is beginning to
be "rough" with his sisters? .
. If the "roughness" is good-natured
do not notice it, and encourage the
girls to take it in good part. A
boy of 10 is just emerging from
"little boyhood" into "boyhood,"is
roughness is due to high spirits, and
is not a fault. Of coufse, if he is
unkind and knows that he. is, there
is a real prqblem; hfc father should

WHY

Water, it should be remem-1

this is the forrn in which; we ar
acoistomed to .think, of it. . But
the. application of cold jwill bro
duce solid water or ice, just'as
the application of heat will trans

This latter action takes place
gradually, howeverfexcept in the
case of a very small amount of
water and even, then the trans
formation is tfiot instantaneous,
though) it may appear to be so.
The application . of the heat
changes the water nearest to it
into vapor, and this beir.g lighter
than the ,-. surrounding liquid,
struggles to reach the surface. In
fact, it "bubbles" its way to the
top precisely as if we were to
force air into the water from a
pipe below the surface. If heat
is applied Sufficiently long, the J
water will, ot course, boil away

CHAPTER II.
Something in the Sky. "
When Sandy Chipmunk was just
a- little chap his mother began to
teach him to take care of himself.
She told him that among other ene-
He 'turned and ran home
mies he must always watch out for
foxes and weasels especially wea

"They are very dangerous," Mrs.

her. f ,

Well, Sandy Chipmunk went out
to play. But he didn't have what
you would call a good time, because
he'couldn'l help , thinking of his
mother's warning, j He kept looking
uo to make sure that no big bird
j was ready to swoop down upon him.
But training oi tne sort nappenea

afternoon. Sandy had begun to be
lieve that his mother was too tinnd.
He did not think. there was anything
in Farmer Green's pasture to be
afraid, of. There were the cows
nothing seemed to worry them. They
ate grass or chewed their cuds and
never once looked behind them.
, Sandy Chipmunk wandered fur
ther and further from home., For a
long tinfe he had not taken the trou-
ble to look at the sky. But at last
he glanced up. And to his great
alarm he saw, hovering in the air
far above-him, an enormous cro j
ture. He had never seen its like be- :
fore. It seemed all head and tail.
Two arcat eyes stared at i Sandy
Chipmunk and sent a. chill of fear
6ver him. The monster's wide
mouth grinned at him cruelly. And
its long tail lashed back and forth
as if its owner were very angry.
Even as Sandy looked fit the crea
ture it gave a horrid scream.
Sandy Chipmunk did not wait for
anything else. He turned and ran
home. ' And a few Of his friends who

happened to see him remarked that
he seemed to be in a greater hurry
than ever. '
Sandy felt better when he found
himself safe in his mother's house.
And, he told Mrs. Chipmunk what he
had seen.
"It may be an owl," he said, "be
cause it has big, round eyes.. But
its tail was not like any owl's tail
that I ever saw. Iwas like six cata
mounts tails, all tied in knots."
"That's queer!" his mother re
marked. "I never knew of a bird
with a tail like that." .
"Maybe it's a beast that has learned
to fly" Sandy suggested.
"Beasts can't fly," Mrs. Chipmunk
said. .
But Sandy knew better than that.
, "There's Tlie Flying-Squirrel fam
ily," he reminded her. r
"They can only fy from one tree
to another,", his mother told him. "I
think I'll peep out and see for myj
self what this strange creature looks
like." v v .
jHe begged her not to. But Mrs.
QTiipmunk said she would be care
ful. And she went out and looked up
at the sky.
Sandy was surprised when she
came back laughing.
"What is it, Mother?" he asked.
"Is it a bird or a beast??"
"Neither!" Mrs. Chipmunk an
swered with a smile.
"Then it. must be a fish!" Sandy
exclaimed. . - ' -
"No! It's not a fish either." his
mother said. "Itynothing but a kite
that Johnnie Green has made. He
has painted' eyes anl a mouth on it.
And ,1 muSt say that if J didn't
know a. kite when I saw one it might
have frightened me." ' '
"But what makes it laslV'ts tan
that way?" Sandy asked her.
"The wind is blowing it,", Mrs.
Chiomflnk explained.
"What made it scream?" SanOy In
quired. : ' ,! -
"It didn't, his mother replied.
Now Sandy Chipmunk knew bet
ter than to contradict his mother. So
all he said was this: ; -,

THE CHILDREN, AND THE
FUTURE.
By J. J. Ml'NDY.
Mr. Parent, when your wife makes
suggestions that your children have
the benefit of instruction along cer
tain lines at which you feel sure they
could never make a living, do not
object.
As your children grow older they
may associate with those who are ac
complished along these subjects,
which a mere public $chool education,
does not give, and the ability to en
tertain others in a skillful and delight
fully expert manner may mean a
great factor in advancing the mater
ial interest of your child.
As a parent it 'should be your aim
to prepare your son and your daugh
ter to be companionable and inter
esting to the sons and daughters of
others who have been even more
liberal in tlieir ideas of educating
their children. ; ,'
Water seeks its level, and like at
tracts like in education, because con
geniality means much, so be as
broad and far-sighted and particular
as you can that the children take ad
vantage of every opportunity' pre
sented tOfill their minds with the
best in every line in the order of its
importance, as you see it after study
ing it out I
Good company goes a long way
toward keeping the boys and girls
straight. . .
