'I lie war is over in Nehru.
Wiiluu u few verU .MO.0UO men
ill lie out in the lirlJi preparing
for tlic new crp. .Ml winter they
lave been looking back on their
t ronlilr j. but now the approach of
spring turn their eye. forward with
Lope (or the future. Despite the
(iitcouraging remarks of critics, it
is a fact cince the administration
and the War Finance corporation
took hnld of the agricultural prob
lem corn lias gone up more than
10 centi a bushel at country poind
and wr-at "cr 15 cents.
Problem One of Distribution.
When the farmer's dollar is worth
cent, all will be well in Ne
fcraka. Reductions in the price of
manufactured goods and increases
in the quotations for many farm
products are bringing that day near
vlii'ii a hii'lul of grain or 1(30
pound of bcrf or pork w ill exchange
for ai much other goods as before.
A tour of the state, ending here
in Madison county, indicates that
the problem is one mainly of dis
tribution, although there has been
, too great a tendency for the farmer
to raise his "crops irrespective of
the market demand and expect them
to be absorbed at a profit to him.
One thinks of the way the motor
car has cut down the consumption
of oats and wonders why here in
northeastern Nebraska almost as
much of this cereal should be raised
as when the towns had many horses
to feed.
Seek Further Rail Cuts.
There is a mighty sentiment on
all sides for another reduction of
freight rates. At Norfolk, - North
western railroad employes say freight
.traffic lias picked.. up 25 per cent
since the recent cut, and that extra
trains are being run, a thing un
known for more than a year. To the
west, in the hay country about New
port, hay is being moved as fast
as cars can be spotted. Country
bankers and every other interest
claim that further rate concessions
would be of general benefit.
An idea of the confidence which
pervades the agricultural industry
can be gained from two pure-bred
livotock sales held in Norfolk last
v.cek. Purchases aggregated $11,000,
every cent paid in cash. Three hun
dred farmers attended . the auction
of 30 registered Herefords from the
farm of C. L. Corkle at Tildcn. The
average price was $130, some 10-months-old
calves selling at from
$80 to $97. and a yearling bull going
at $J.'0. Ranchmen from the sand
hills took many of these registered
bulls, this being their way of im
proving the quality of their herds.
Values Increasing.
The Llkhorn valley is famous for
its corn and its hogs, and breeders
from as far away as Illinois and
Kentucky attended the sale- of 51

Damages Sought
by Madam Gadski
Singer Files Action in Conse
quence of Cancelling of
Her Contract.
New York. Feb. 6. A half mil
lion dollar libel suit against the
Chicago Opera company was filed in
federal court today by counsel for
Madame Johanna Gadski, wife of
Capt. Hans Tausiher, a German subject.
Madame Gadski charges that the
opera company, attcr contracting
with her to sing the role of "Isolde
in two Chicago performances of
"Tristan and Isolde" at $1,500 each,
Dubliclv cancelled the contract on the
ground that patrons of' grand opera
would refuse to hear her sing be
cause of the presence in America of
her husband, a former German army
officer, i , . . - , . . '
Madame Gadski asserts cancella
tion of the contract and the attend
ant publication of "false and malic
ious" reports caused her the lo6S of
the stipulated $3,000 and have "de
stroyed her earning power, which
heretofore has been very large, so
that she is without employment and
will be made to .obtain employment
in her profession.
Madame Gadski described herself
as a citizen of Germany and a resi
Hpnr nf New York with her daughter
since 1914. Concerning her husband,
she asserted he devoted the period
of his residence in Germany during
the war to the alleviation of suffer
ing among American prisoners and
that he has come here at the invita
tion of the United States government,
to reveal processes of metal manu
facture "invented in Germany."

arising from the boundries question
and other points in the Anglo-Irish

resentatives. When the conferes dispersed, it
was remarked that the Irish repre

that the discussions were proceeding
satisfactorily. The attitude of offi

Gandhi Declares Civil Dis
obedience Will Become Ef

Are Give Amnesty.
By The Associated Fress.
London, Feb. 6. Rene-wed riot
ing in several parts of India, involv
ing the -killing of at least 17 police
officials and four members of attack
ing parties, in additions to the
wounding of persons and some de
struction of property, occurred over
the week-end, simultaneously with
issuance of a declaration by the non-co-operationist
leader, Gandhi, that
civil disobedience would become ef
fective unless the . government
granted amnesty.
On Saturday police officials at
Chaurl, on the Bengal Northwestern
railway, were stormed by Indian na
tionalist volunteers. The mob of
200,000 killed the staff and a watch
man and eight armed policemen who
were rushed to the scene. Then the
nationalists burned the offices and
bodies of those killed.
On the same day, rioting occurred
at Barcilly, in the middle .united
provinces, where . several attempts
were made by a large crowd of vol
unteers to seize the town hall. In
sufficient police forces charged them
without success, and then were or
dered to fire. The mob eventually
was put to rcut after two persons
had been killed 'and five others
wounded, . among them the district
magistrate and the .superintendent of
police. " "','
Ghandi's declaration was made in
a. letter to the viceroy. He said he
was prepared to advise postpone
ment of civil disobedience until the
sun considered if the viceroy was
ready within seven days to declare
all political prisoners liberated and
the freedom of associating and the
press restored. He asserted that the
government's repressive policy made
the adoption of civil disobedienee
immediately imperative and that the
nonco-operators,. under existing cir
cumstances, were unwilling to attend
the proposed conferences. ;

Washington, Feb. 6. (By A. P.)
The address made by President
Harding at the concluding session
of the arms conference follows:
"Mr. chairman arrd . members of
the conference: . .
"Nearly three months ago it was
my privilege to utter to you sincer
est words of welcome to the capital
of our republic, to suggest the spirit
in which you were invited and to inti
mate the atmosphere in which you
were asked to confer;" Jn a very gen
eral, way, perhaps, 1 ventured to ex
press a hope for the things towards
which our aspirations led us.
"Today it is my greater privilege,
and even greater pleasure, to come
to make acknowledgment. . It is one
of the supreme compensations of life
to contemplate a , worthwhile ac
complishment. Truly Great Achievement.
"It cannot be other than seemly
for me, as the only chief of govern
ment so circumscribed as to be able
to address the conference, to speak
congratulations . and to offer the
thanks of our nation, our people;
perhaps I dare volunteer to utter
them for the world. My own gratifi
cation is beyond my capacity to ex
press. "This conference has wrought a
truly great achievement. It js haz
ardous sometimes to speak in super

I will say with every confidence that
the faith plighted here today, kept in
national honor, will mark the begin

ArclibUliop of Milan Pro

of Pin XI.
Won Esteem of Benedict
London. Feb. 6. (By A. P.)
Cardinal Ratti was elected pope by
receiving 38 votes in the conclave of
the Sacred college, says a Central
Newt dispatch from Rome this after
noon. Rome, l"ib. 0 (liy the A. P.)
Cardinal Achilles Natti, archhihop
of Milan, was proclaimed elected
pope in succession to the late Bene
dict XV this morning. He has
taken the name of Pius XI.
The thousands waiting in front ol
St. Peters for the wisp of smoke
which would tell of the election of
a new pope or the failure of the
sacred college to reach decision
gave a mighty shout at 11:33 o'clock
when a thin wisp of smoke came
from the chimney leading from the
Sisline chapel. It was then known
that the Catholic church had once
more a duly, elected pontiff.
Canopies Let' Down.
As scon as the two-thirds vote for
Cardinal Ratti had been verified
Cardinal Vannutclli, as dean of the
sacred cojlcgc, arose and proceeded
to the throne of the chosen one, ac
companied on either side by Cardi
nals Logue and Bislcti, respectively
deans of the cardinal priests and the
cardinal deacons. He was asked in
Latin by Cardinal Vannutelli in ac
cordance with custom if he accepted
the election to be supreme pontiff,
and the new pope answered with the
formal, "Since it is the will of God.
I must obey."
The purple canopies over tne
thrones of the cardinals were let
down, one by one, until only thai
over the new pontiff remained. This
was done to show that the whole
sacred college rendered obeisance to
the new head of the church. Dean
Vannutelli thereupon asked the new
incumbent what name he chose to
take during his pontificate and upon
-his reply. "Pius XI," Monsignor Sin-
fied his election to the papal chair.
Escorted to Ante Room.
The new pope was then escorted
to the ante room within the Sistine
chapel, where he discarded his car
dinal robes, assisted by the conclav
ists and the papal vestments, which
had been held in readiness since the
opening of the conclave, were placed
upon him. These included the white
cassock, white sash, white stockings,
red slippers, a red and gold moz
zatta and fiinally the stole of red,
worked with gold.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
cardinals, thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel.
There the cardinals, according to
their, rank, and headed by Vannutelli,
made their first act of adoration to
his holiness, kissing first his feet and
then his hands, after which the pope
received them in embrace and be
stowed upon them his first apostolic
benediction.
"Fisherman's Ring" Bestowed.
Tbf "fisherman's ring" was placed
on his finger nd he left the chapel,
the whole assembly wending its wav
through the Sala Ducale and the
Sala Regia, along the Loggias to

he received the homage of the at
taches who served during the con
