The name Onawa means wide awake and this pretty Iowa town lived up to its name today when a program and pageant were presented at Blue lake, on a site which has been established as one of three camping places of Lewis and Clark in Monona county. The historical and patriotic pa- -rvafgeant with attending features was t civen under auspices of the Iowa . State society and the Onawa chap ter of the D. A. R. A granite marker was unveiled near the lake and on the ground where Lewis and Clark and their 40 sturdy pathfinders rested 117 years ago today.

Underbill, regent of the Ona wa chapter, and Mrs. A. . .uann of Onawa, past state regent. The event which was attended by many this afternoon was one of the most notable occasions in the history of Onawa. One of the attendants was Mrs. Daisy Lewis Collins of this city, a third cousin of Captain Meriwether Lewis, whose memory is being honored. An interesting feature of the pageant was the ap pearance of Addison Oliver, 18, on horseback, as a tribute to his dis tinguished grandfather, the late Ad dison Oliver, who rode into this country, from Keokuk in 1857 on a horse, later being honored by elec tion to congress. , i Timothy Elliott gave Onawa 4ts, name because he was an optimist 'ini believed in the "wide awake" tnwnner of living.

Excellent crops cheer up the farmers in spite of low prices, in some sections at least. "Around Omaha-r instead of sell ing corn at SO cents a bushel, farm ers raise more hogs, feed them corn and allow the intelligent animals to change 50-ccnt corn into $10 pork, "Hogs are worth $10 a hundred now. . Even at $6 a hundred they can be raised without loss on 50-cet: corn. "In Nebraska this spring there were 667,000 brood sows. In 1913 there were 211,000. There will be 1,000,000 Nebraska brood sows soon unless pork drops as rapidly as corn More trouble for the railroads. They won't have the corn to haul, and it would weigh more than the hogs, dressed, which eat it.

" No Blue Sky Control North Platte; Neb., Aug. 9. (Spe cial Telegram.) Ex-Governor Keith Neville gave the following interview with reference to the Touvelle state ment in this morning's Omaha Bee: "Throughout my term as gov ernor of Nebraska, the state railway commission had absolute jurisdiction in the administration of the blue sky laws of the state. Neither the gov ernor nor any appointee of the gov ernor during that period had any su pervision or control over stock sales in Nebraska. "The attempt of the railway com mission to fasten responsibility -for the stock swindles that were perpe trated in Nebraska upon my admin istration is unworthy of Commis sioner H. G. Taylor, who was chair man of the railway commission, and of Commissioner Thorne Brown, who was secretary of the i ail way commission in 1917 and 1918."

Next Sunday's Bee lHtt VJlcSsa Agreement Is Reached On Silesia v Allied Supreme CoU'A O0 T 0 ,v V ' nrfps Nnt tn Srl . C forcemcnt9 . , ' Troops N0 ' yi Differences Patched Up Paris, Aug. 9. (By The Associ ated Press.) Premier Briand of France and Mr. Lloyd George, prime minister of England, have decided at a private meeting upon a compromise partition of upper Silesia, it was de clared here today on good authority. The compromise boundary line is understood to have been drawn ap proximately as follows: Beginning west of Pless on ihe Vistula river and running west of Glciwitz, west of Tost and Gross Strchlitz north to between Rosen berg and Kretiseburg, and thence to the frontier of northern upper Si lesia This line, while by no means a straight one, approximately bisects the Silesian plebiscite area. Satisfaction Required. The reputed agreement must be for mally ratified by the supreme council, and the possibility of this action at the late afternoon session today was forecast. At this time the interna tional geographical experts were ex pected to have ready their reports. It was upon the private settlement being reached, it is understood that the council decided not to send rein forcements to tipper Silesia at pres ent, the British and Italian delega tions voting against the sending of French troops tor this purpose, as France had desired. Sir Harold Stuart, the British Silesian commis sioner, and General Marinis. the Ital ian commissioner, declared they be lieved both Germany and Poland would accept the council's' boundary decision. British View Prevails. The conviction of General Lerond of France, head of the commission, was that trouble might occur if there were an immediate decision. The Britisn and italian view ore- vailed, and the council decided against the sending of reinforcements for the time being. Ihe new line is accented in princi ple as more nearly representing the real meaning of the plebiscite vote than anything previously proposed. The division also splits the disnuted industrial district. - At the ooenine of the session Lloyd George took occasion to de clare the position of the British gov ernment, ' on ; what lie -called the. menacing problem' to the peace of j Europe longed to the German race for 700 years a part of that period to Aus tria, but for 177 years to Prussia and the British government would not consent to " any division not based equitably upon the votes of the Poles and the Germans in the disputed region. Sympathy for France. Discussiner the future security of Franc:, the British prime minister said in substance that the British government keenly sympathized with the French desire for. safety, knowing .what France had suffered in two wars. That security, how ever, he declared, ought to rest upon the moderation with which the vic tors used their power- and upon equity in apportioning Silesia. The British empire, the prime minister declared, .would never be dragged into another war caused by the op pressive use, of superior force or, the abuse of . justiceSn a time of tri umph. Asperity Disappears. With today's meeting of the al lied supreme council here to con sider the upper Silesian question all asperity between the French and British delegates over the-Silesian boundary apparently had disap peared. Both sides were agreed that the unity of the allied powers cannot be wrecked over a matter so relatively unimportant. New Traffic Regulation Is Sought by Police Head Amendment to the present traffic ordinance, which would make it a misdeameanor for one automobile to pass another at an intersection will be sought by Police Commissioner Dunn, he announced yesterday. If the' amendment is adopted, he stated, he will take steps to see that it is en forced rigorously. Commenting : on criticism of his action in permiting automobiles to disregard safety zones, Commis sioner Dunn, said his move 'was in accordance with- public sentiment. He denied , he is taking unto himself the prerogative of changing city ordinances. The safety zone plan was merely a police regulation, he says. .

Fewer Men in Swivel Chairs, Policy of New Tax Commissioner Washington, Aug. 9. More men to collect taxes due the government and fewer to sit in Washington swivel chairs is a policy determined upon by David H. Blair, new com missioner of internal revenue. Larger forces of trained n.en, he said yesterday, are to be put in the field in all revenue collection dis tricts. To do this he pxpects to cut down the number of Washington desk jobs. Two months' survey of the revenue situation, Mr. Blair said, has forced the conviction that the government is not collecting its revenues ade quately because of insufficient field men. - Mr. Blair said that he is hopeful congress will pass legislation, now pending, for the creation of new revenue districts in such large cen ters as Chicago and New Yoric. But meantime, through the perfection of a better plan, he hopes to effect par tial relief m some of the more con gested districts.

Capper Bill Is Passed By Senate Measure Calling for Federal Regulation o,f Grain Ex changes ' Put Through , Without Roll Call. Few Members Present By GRAFTON S. WILCOX. Chlrago Tribune-Omaha Dee. lMaed W ire. Washington, Aug. 9. The Cap-per-Tincher bill, providing for fed eral regulation of grain exchanges, was passed by the senate today with out a dissenting vote, after brief de bate. Scarcely a score of senators were on the floor when the bill came to a vote and no roll call was demand ed. The measure has been passed by "the house and just as soon as differences over senate amendments are adjusted, it will be sent to the president. Preceding passage of the bill, Sen ator Capper of Kansas, one of the authors of the measure, denounced the Chicaeo Board of Trade as the ' biggest gambling hell in the world." Joseph r. Gritlin, president ot in Chicago Board of Trade, and L. F, Gates, former president of the board, sat in the gallery and listened to the speech. After the bill had been passed, Mr. Griffin, with the approv al of representatives of other grain exchanges, issued a statement to the effect that in view of the modifica tions made by the senate to the original bill, the exchanges would continue in operation. When the . Kill was nassed bv the house, some of the exchanges, including the Chi cago Board of Trade, threatened to go out of business it it Decame a , law. Says Regulation Needless. "It is the deliberate judgment of the grain exchanges and the grain trade generally that legislation to reg ulate their business is entirely un necessary," said Mr. Griffin. "Con sequently we have not advocated the Capper-Tincher bill or any other measure that has been presented be fore congress. "At the same time we find a pub lic sentiment refjected in congress which indicates a desire for sortie regulatory measure affecting grain exchanges and the grain business. That being the situation, we bow to the great force of public opinion. If the Capper-Tmcher bill is enacted into law wre will, in all good faith, attempt to function under' its provisions. The bill as finally passed by the senate," has eliminated many unfair and burdensome condi-, tions and it is my opinion that the exchanges can continue to function and serve the public, both producer, and consumer, as heretofore." "It is against the law to run a gambling house anywhere in the United States," said Senator Capper.
