Booze Bought on
Credit in Omaha

Operations of Alleged Liquor
Ring Told by One of Mem
bers at Hearing in
Federal Court.
Buying whisky on credit is the
'atest wrinkle in this Volstradean
At least Glen Elmer Martz of Lin
:oln, star witness for state and fed
eral officers in their case against al
leged members of an "Omaha-Lin-coin
liquor ring," testified the joy
beverage could be purchased here
without immediately producing the
required amount of lucre, while on
the stand in federal court yesterday.
Marts said he came to Omaha
more than a week ago looking for a
job. He looked up his old friend,
Charles Andrews, and after dancing
about a bit they decided liquor was
what they wanted, he said.
"We went to Jay William O'Hearn
and he told us he knew where we
could get the stuff on time," said
Martz.
Marti admitted he became so in
toxicated he was forced to He down
in the automobile, but testified that
he, Andrews and a youth named
Henderson, took the liquor they pur
chased to Lincoln in a car and at
fpmnted to sell it there. They dis
posed of only one pint, at $7, he said.
Attorneys for Andrews, O'Hearn
and Kosario Caniglia, Italian, who
was alleged to have sold them the
liquor, attempted to show that of
ficers had offered Mart immunity
if he testified against his companion.
The three men were charged .with
consoirine to violate the national
prohibition act. Deputy State Sheriff
Moore and Federal Prohibition Of
ficer Anderson denied they had of
fered Martz immunity if he testified.
United States Commissioner
Boehler, who heard the case, dis
missed the conspiracy charge against
Caniglia and continued the hearing
against the other two men for one
week. ,

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE ;
Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
Wishing on a Load of Hay.
The custom of wishing when a
load of hay passes is common in the
rural districts all over the country.
It is a survival from that ancient
nature worship which manifested it
self in various cults and myths hav
ing to do with the spirit of vegeta
tion, the - personification of the
"kindly fruits of. the earth" as the
embodiment of a god.
The growing crop is Osiris,. Ado
nis or Balder alive and the harvested
crop the same gods temporarily dead.
At the gathering of all crops the
killing of the god the ancients were
accustomed to practcie solemn rites
many of which, in a maimed form, ex
ist among us today as popular super
stitions. A load of hay is a gath
ered crop it is the body of Balder
which is passing and a wish upon a
load of hay is an appeal to the spirit
of that god for a fulfillment of the
wish.
'Those who are inclined to question
the survival f ancient religions in
fragmentary form under the guise of
current superstitions should consider
that, without considering the signi
ficance of the fact at all, we still call
five days of the week by the names
of heathen gods and two after the
moon goddess and the sun-god re
spectively; while of the months four
are dedicated to heathen gods or
goddesses, " one perpetuates a. very
ancient heathen festival, and two are
dedicated to defied Roman emperors.
Which, it must be acknowledged, is
a rather striking example of the sur
vival in our daily lives today of frag
ments from ancient cults and myth
ologies. Copyright, 1921, by The McClura News

HOW IT STARTED
'Twas not by Afton's rippling tide,
(Where Burns held hands with various iassies.)
That first the fatuous golfer plied
His cleaving cleeks and busy brassies.
The Dutch devised the royal sport,
The Scots observed it, apprehensive,
So grand a game, by all report,
Would be expensive.
Xot till a Scot had won a cup
Which brought, in Holland, one pound sterling,
Did Caledonians take it up;
They stuck to whuskey, war, and curlihg.
Bpt when the laddie showed his pound,
And told how easy 'twas to win it,
The game of golf, all Scotland found,
Had something' in it.
They laid out links on dune and brae, j
From Afton's braw and bonnie bankie
To where the gentle bannocks stray
Across the pass o' Killicrankie,
And soon the sons of Ayr and Perth,
With clubs of sundry shapes and sizes, '
Were in all quarters of the earth,
In quest of prizes.
Today if you would play the game,
You learn it of some husky person
Who burrs his Vs" and has a name
Like McEntaggart or McPherson.
The hand of golf is on the land;
No power is strong enough to stay it
Because, as you will understand,
It pays to. play it.
' TOUGH LUCK
We have no way of cementing relations with other powers unless per
haps we send the White House dog on a tour.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
We fancy that now Mr. Bergdoll'a funds are cut off he will not 'be
quite so popular in Germany as he has been.
HE LEARNED IT SOMEWHERE
John D's first business venture was raising turkeys. Perhaps it was
from them that he acquired the profitable art of gobbling.

Watch Yourself.
You cannot expect to feel good
every day, and the fact that you
have "off days" occasionally should
not alarm you.
Do not get worried and think that
you are going into a decline every
time your pep is not up to the usual
' point.
Every person has days when it is
hard to work, hard to think, hard
to do anything right
Of course, if you are "all in" too
frequently you should have some
one study your case and get the
right treatment, so that it may not
become chronic
But the chances are that if you
were more careful what you eat, not
to eat much when you are physi
cally weary, not to discard the sub
stantial at meals in favor of des
serts, you would feel better. .
You ought to be able to analyze
your own case and find ont what is
the matter.
- The great trouble with many folk
is that they cannot tay "no" to
themselves.
If you have high-bred animals,
you take mighty good care of their
diet.
-- The animal cannot use its brain in
the sense you do, but is more than
likely to refuse food which is not
good for it, although sometimes an
animal will eat too much.
Take as good care of your own
health i yon io of your live stock.

It is rumored around on good au

the latter, some persons will start to
laugh a second or two before the
general expression of amusement
spreads over the theater and it will
also be apparent that those who are
familiar with the joke are not laugh
ing as heartily as those who are see
ing or hearing it for the first time.
In other words, the impression is
strongest the first time and generally
loses force in direct ratio to its de
gree of familiarity. , It is for this
reason that professional humorists
rely upon the unexpected for the
major portion of their fun-making
for it is seldom that the hearty laugh
which evidences complete enjoyment
is the result of the natural sequence
of events or phrases. Laughter,
therefore, is really half-brother to
the cry of pain for they are both
children of the same father, the
brain. -

Two Mem Held on Theft
Charge at Nebraska City
Nebraska City, June 14., (Special.)
Richard Eacret pleaded guilty in
county court to a charge of steal
ing a car in this city last Friday
morning and was bound over to the
district court in the sum of $1,000,
which he was unable to furnish. Jack
Davis, another suspect, pleaded
guilty and waived preliminary, hear
ing. His bond was also placed at
$1,000. Both men will be held in
the county jail' until the next, term
of the district court.
W HY-
Do We Laugh When Glad.
Although all the investigations of
science have, been unable to tell us
much about the reasons why Certain
thing's make " different impressions
upon the delicate organ which we
know as the brain, much has been
learned about the way in which the
brain reacts to impulses from with
outcausing us to laugh or cry, ac
cording to whether we are amused
or hurt. In the last analysis,
laughter is nothing more than the
involuntary reaction to an impulse
which reaches the brain either
through the ear, the eye, or, as in
the case of a person who is tickled,
through one or more of the nerves
of the body.
Just as a cut or any other hurt
will register its instant impression
of pain, something that amuses us
will cause a definite reaction upon
another part of the brain and will, in
turn, result in the sending of an
almost telegraphic message to the
muscles which control the throat and
vocal chords. This takes place so
rapidly that we are conscious of no
papreciable lapse of time, though
impressions of pleasure do not reg
ister with equal speed upon different
brains as may be noted by watch
ing audiences at the theater or mo
tion picture houses. Especially at
ADVT5RTISEMKXT.
Hairs Will Vanish
After This Treatment
(Toilet Helps.)
You can keep your arms, neck or
face free from hair pr fuza by the
occasional use of plain delatone and
by using it you need have no fear of
marring or injuring the skin. A thick
paste is made by mixing some of
the powdered delatone with water.
Then spread on the hairs and after
2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin
and all traces of hair have vanished.
Be careful, however, to get real
delatone.

CHAPTER nr. .
A Startled Sleeper.
Of course Dickie Deer Mouse
ought not to have been so ready to
believe that stray bit of gossip about
Mr. Crow. It is true that the old
black scamp had talked about mov

For a few moments Mr. Crov
screamed loudly for help.
ing to a new place nearer Farmer
Green's cornfield. But his plan had
gone no further than that.
He was sound asleep m his bed
when Dickie Deer Mouse jumped
down beside him. And when Mr.
Crow suddenly waked up it would
be very hard to say which of the two
was the more startled.
For a few moments Mr. Crow
screamed loudly for help. And rj
flapped and . floundered about as if
he didn't know which way to turn,
nor what to do.
During the uproar Dickie Deer
Mouse managed to slip out of Mr.
Crows house without being seen.
But he was too polite to run atfay.
Instead of hurrying off to escape a
scolding from Mr. Crow he clung
to a near-by branch and called as
loudly as he could:
Dont be alarmed, sir! lheres no
one here but me. And l ask your
pardon for disturbing you."
Dickie Deer Mouse had to repeat
that speech several times before Mr.
Crow noticed him. But at last the
old gentleman caught sight of his
visitor. And when he heard what
Dickie said he looked far from
pleasant.
Asking my pardon is one tiling,
Mr. Crow spluttered. "And receiving
it is another.
'I'm very sorry," Dickie Deer
Mouse replied. "I didn't mean to
frighten you."
Mr. Crow gave a sudden hoarse
haw-haw. '
'Pooh I" he cried. "You don t think
I was scared, do you?"
"You called for help, Uickie re
minded him.
"Certainly I did," Mr. Crow agreed.
"I wanted somebody to help you out

of my house, before I trampled on
you and broke one of your legs
or maybe two or three of 'cm."
That explanation gave Dickie Deer
Mouse another surprise; for he had
supposed all the time that Mr. Crow
didn't know who or what had
awakened him.
"Oh!" he cried. "I thought that
you thought I was somebody else."
Mr. Crow glared at him.
"I thought that you thought that 1
thought " he squalled. He was so
angry that his tongue became sadly
twisted; and he all but choked.
Meanwhile Dickie Deer Mouse
waited rpectfully until Mr, Crow
had recovered his speech.
"What are you doing here at this
hour?" Mr. Crow demanded at las
"I thought-" Dickie began.
"There you go again I" the old
gentleman interrupted him testily. "I
didn't ask what you thought. I asked
you what you were doing."
"I'm not doing anything just now,"
Dickie Deer Mouse faltered.
"Yes, you arel" Mr. Crow correct
ed him. "You're sitting on a limb of
my tree. . .", Get off it a. once!"
So Dickie Deer Mouse moved to a
more distant perch.
"Now you're sitting on another!"
Mr. Crow exploded. "Get out of my
tree this instant!", It always made
him illtempcrcd to be awakened
from a sound sleep in the middle
of the night.
Once more Dickie Deer Mouse
asked his pardon.
"I was told," he explained, "that
vpu had moved lately. And I did
not expect to find you here."
"Ah!" said Mr. Crow. "I know
now why you came sneaking into my
house. You'd like to live here
yourself."
"Pardon me!" Dickie Deer Mouse
exclaimed with the lowest of bows.
"You are mistaken, Mr. Crow.
Though your house is a fine', large
one, it's much too small to hold us
both."
And whisking about, while" Mr.
Crow stared at him, he ran down
the tall elm as fast as he could go.
It was clear that if Mr. Crow
wasn't going to move he would have
to look elsewhere for a summer
home.

Parents' Problems
How can boys and girls of High
school age best be taught the im
portance of using good English?
First, these hoys and girls must
hear good English at borne; second,
they must read well-written books;
third, while required to use good
English, they should not, especially
in the case of boys, be taken too se
riously when they employ a bit of
harmless slang. Perhaps nothing in
duces "contrariness" in this matter
of good English as over-severity in
connection with slang which
whether good or bad, can scarcely
be regarded as "English" at all.
