Farmen and Their Own Affairs.
Farmer! of the middle west are not averse to
listening, to advice, and they have heard a lot
In the past few years, hot they insist on the
rtflit of considering some of their own affairs
from their own standpoint. That il why the
present convention of the Nebraska Farmers'
Educational and Co-Operative union is inter
twine; to the general public, as well as to the
delegates and the men they represent. It is
wrtain that the discussions there developed will
turn on the farmer's own ideas of what is good
tot him and for his business.
Just now the marketing problems are upper
most, and the mbstitution of co-operative for the
former method of handling crops on the way
from the field to the table is getting close con
sideration. Advocates of the new order are con
servative in their claims, as a rule, and the grow
er indicate a willingness to let the ventures
tried and stand on their merits. Experience
ta taught the farmer that service must be
Jaid for, and that it costs money to market a
crop under any system. What is sought to be'
brought about is a method under which as good
etfvice can be maintained at less expense. Un
lets this is done, the farmer gains nothing.
Another topic of great interest at the pres
ent time is how to employ the land so that it
vfll return revenue and without glutting the
iMrket with an over supply of one or two crops
while there is a shortage of others. Diversified
.farming is not a new thing in Nebraska or Iowa.
The war ..may have laid too much stress on
wheat and corn, for example, and so have created
a Condition that is not readily relieved, but earnest
discussion of plans indicates a determination on
part of the men engaged in agriculture not to
trfe caught that way again. New crops or greater
atttetition to some of the old ones, will keep
th land in use and restore the balance between
what the farmer has to sell and the demand for
it by the public.
- The most encouraging feature of the present
lathering is the clear-eyed view of the future!
held by the delegates. None appears to be hug-"
ting any delusion, or to be carried away by
any roseate dream. They all know the way
Out ii through hard, well directed work, and,
accepting this fact cheerfully, they are willing to
fe the work.
Ireland Catting Down to Business, ,;
With the blessing of the pope, and a message
expressing his gratification at the peaceable so
lvfion attained for her problem, Erin is setting
actively about the important business of arrang
ing to manage her own affairs in the future. A
most significant feature is the action of Dail
Eiteann in disposing of the situation created by
Eimonn de Valera and his followers. A direct
challenge to the majority, following the vote
token on Saturdayi when the treaty was ratified,
wws the meeting of the minority group in secret
conference. What transpired in private con
sifcatioa is not of such importance as what took
place in public. The resignation of de Valera as,
president was accepted, and when he was put up
again by hit friends he was voted down. This
often repudiation of the plans of the "die-hards"
is the best possible sign that the Irish are de
termined to give their new status a sincere trial.
Arthur Griffith as head of the provisional gov
ernment may be depended upon to move ex
peditiously to clear away the preliminaries and
arrange for setting the real machinery of gov
ernment into operation. An election must inter
vene, that Dail Eireann may be succeeded by a
parliament chosen under the new conditions.
This witl give opportunity for an expression from
the people, and will afford in fact a measure by
which the sentiment of the masses may be
ganged. De Valera's announcement that he will
nH be a party to fratricidal strife is encouraging,
for it was made after the conference on Sunday,
atd means, if it means anything, that civil waf is
rt4)t likely to add distress at a time when the
Irish are joyed by the prospect of peace.
A Very Pleasant Reminder.
It is a little bit too early in the season td start
making garden or to set out the house plants,
baft time is passing right along to that period.
Of this fact Omahans are pleasantly reminded
by one of the most certain harbingers of the good
oM summer time that has yet been recognised.
iT Palmer has just secured Card No. 1, 1922
series, Ak -Sax-Ben. This means that life is
Stirring once more. Gus Rem and Charlie Card-
net have gone into executive session once more,
timing what will be set before the knights
daring the season which soon will be declared

nated the time for an eWctton lor three number
M succeed those whose terms expire, and ballots
an about to be sent out to the knights. All this
fMsagu another season of activity on part of
a greatest boosting agency ever set ia motion
by nun. Tripartite agreements, (our-powrr en
tentes, or even quintuple alliances are of little
avail in comparison with Ak-Sar-Ben when it
comet to getting men to forget their differences
and all head in the ssnie' direction and work for
tht common good. If the head men o( Europe
only could be induced to come to Omaha and
take the work, even to the extent el a tingle
night at the Den, the world would be the better
for it As for Omaha, issuing Card No. 1 it a
harbinger of vernal joys eves more standard and
dependable than the coming of the first robin.
Newberry'. Personal Plea.
Disregarding any other considers' ion, the
statement made by Truman H. Newberry in the
senate on Monday, relative to hit part In the
election in Michigan in 1918, is far from coo-
Wnelrtg In fts nature. The best that rsn be said
for it it that it it a confession in avoidance. Sen
ator Newberry hat an honorable record at an
omeer m the nary, and wai serving as such
when elected to the senate. His standing as a
business man snd a etttten is unquestioned.
These facts only serve to make his position the
more difficult to explain.
Conceding his inexperience in politics, his lack
ol knowledge of methods and practices employed
in conduct ot campaigns, he yet leaves some
thing to be cleared up. He wai not more shocked
than was the public When It became known that
such debauchery of the electorate had been ear
rted on in his name. Even a tyro should know
that the immense turns of money that were put
out could , not have been needed for legitimate
expenses, and Senator Newberry's explanation
that he did not know that such sums were being
expended is not enough. As the candidate of his
party, it was incumbent on him to show some
personal interest in the campaign, if only to the
extent of learning what sort of management it
had, and not to leave all to .friends, whose zeal
in his behalf was such as led them to disgraceful
length. A candidate always owes it to his party,
to the public, and to himself, to know what is
being done in his name.
Senator Newberry's plea that he is not blame
worthy because he was neither advised nor con
sulted is to the expenditures made is hot enough
to exculpate him. His occupation In the navy in
1918 was engrossing, but he might have posted1
himself in regard to some salient features of the
campaign in Michigan without putting any rtaval '
plans in danger. Nor should the suggestion made
by one of his defenders in the senate, that no
f6or man suffered because all three of the can
didate were millionaires, have any weight Seats
in the United States senate 6ught not to be told
to the highest bidder.

Politics, Bankers and Farmers.
A stampede of public opinion is never advis
able, and there certainly is no cause to get ex
cited over the controversy surrounding the Fed'
eral Reserve System. There is need, howevefj
of careful thought and serious discussion.
, Most of the organized groups of farmers
throw the blame for the disastrous and excessive
deflation of agriculture on the Federal Reserve
banks; they are proposing the appointment of a
firmer to the board In control of the system.
On the ether hand, the brganlzed bankers not
only oppose such direct representation of agricul
ture, but Wish to eliminate the secretary of the
treasury and the comptroller of the cufrertty
irom the board. They hold that no man should
be connected with the administration of the bank
ing system whose selection springs from party
politics, and would limit what might be called
representation of the public to ex -officio service
of an under secretary of the treasury. V
Put plainly, the bankers support the theory
that the Federal Reserve system is a co-operative
organization of bankers, not tiling government
funds, and not to be exposed to the influence of
pressure from the public of from any section of
it, whether farmers, debtors, persons in need of
Credit, or what not. ; '
. there iS danger in exposing the Federal Re-"
serve system to political control. But there is
peril also in" any effort to remove it farther than
now from all public check and supervision. The
system has been useful through the confident be
lief of the people that it represented them and
net, primarily, the banking or other special in
terests. Nothing should be done ia' shatter this
trust, making it lss of a people' bank. ,
t Fathers and Children.
Miners, farmers and preachers take the lead
as fathers. -According to the census bureau,
which has just tabulated the total number of
children ever borrl In those families Which had a
birth in 1920, the average number. of children
which each mother had borne Wis 3.3, of whom
the average number living Was :. - .
Dentists, architect, school teachers, phy
sicians and lawyers fell far beldW the average as
parents, ranging between t and 2.4 children on
the average. Miners were fddnd t average 4.3,
farmers 3.8 and clergymen 3.3, .
Looking over these bare figures, a real story
appears. The Classes with 4 low birth rate are
those who, partly through necessity and also
through tradition, engage itf the great American
game 6f keeping tip appearances, this east nfit
be done very well whea there tttthttt or four
children td. wear out ihoet and be fed, and
finally, to be sent thronfh College.
Miners and farmers may not have as much
mJney IS then" contemporaries in the profes
sions, but they do not feel obligated to shine so
cially or cut much of a swath sartorially. No
one expects a preacher to be wealthy, and in
fact, if he or fits family should exhibit extrava
gant tfaits they would be showered with
Criticism. Plain living and high thinking, as op
posed to high living and simple thoughts, are ex
pected from his kind. While a high birth rate
may not be desirable, yet if may sink too low.
That it has done this in the case of certain de
sirable parents is clear.

The name "glaucoma'' comes from
a greenish tinge which the pupil

Physicians use It to designate all
those conditions In which there Is
too much fluid in the eyeball.

structure art dense and Inelastic, it

It the outflowing drains are

by the name ot glaucoma.
The cases are divided Into two
groups primary glaucoma and sec

1. I do not. In the first place.
there is no scientific proof that calo

Where Do Yoii G6 for Advice?
By J. J. MUNDY.
When you need counsel, to get
out of difficulties, do you consult
friends who occupy about the same
station in life and who have had
about the same experience?
If so, how can you expect such
persons to give you the advice which
is beyond anything Of which they
have direct knowledge or experience
advice on matters which they have
not been strained to consider and
master?
Why not go to the person Who has
lifted himself out of the trench in
which you are stationed, the man
ivhn ba conp nv,r tb tnn?
The men who have been staggered
and checked in their progress by just
such problems as confront you ate
not the ones to advise vou.
Without the ability to lift them
selves how can you expect practical
advice on how to extricate voUrself
(from the position which baffles you?
Look around at the successful men
and figure on what their problems
have been on the way tor eminence.
Don't go to Dick, Tom and Harry
for advice and suggestions on things
they know nothing about or they
themselves" V.ouId have profited.
Go to the man who knows and
then follow his instructions.
