Wirth, as the moral stigma carried by them would not have been neutralised by the in direct majority support given to the chancellor by the clericals, the ma jority sociali.it and the democrats who could muMcr sufficient votes to defeat the opposition's attacks on the cabinet. Visible impatience v. ith the pas sive attitude by his principal support brought Chancellor Wirth to his feet just before the hostile resolu tion were put to a vote today. Hi voice, quivering' with emotion, the chancellor, in an impassioned plea, demanded that the reichstag give him a tangible and unequivocal ex pression of itl confidence without which he and hi J cabinet colleagues could no longer conduct the affairs of the government. A negative re sult of the vote on the four opposi tion resolutions, he declared, would suffice to make the cabinet position untenable. i To Vote Wednesday. .

The session supplied a second sensation when the independent so cialist leader.

Today he is a prisoner within the Vatican walls, but tomorrow the hope is freely expressed he may be free to mingle among the crowds of the common people he loves so well. The first message sent out broad cast over the world by Pope Pius expressed the wish for universal pacification, and declared that while the holy see should not aban don any of the church's temporal prerogatives, a satisfactory arrange ment whereby the Vatican could rule spiritually only would be welcomed. Standing upon the throne direct ly under the cupola of St. Peters, Piux XI, with head adorned with the tiara, bestowed the blessing upon those below, in which, many races and many creeds mingled. The Gre gorian psalms and hymns of joy ren dered by the choir were takne up by the assemblage in Latin in which var ious accents, Anglo-Saxon, German, French and Scandinavian, were no ticeable. '.

The driver could not be located. Police believe the ma chine was stolen. Senate Passes Bureaus Appropriation Measure Washington, Feb. ,12.

Sometimes a film star becomes in terested in Mabel, or a director with a vacant place in his address book takes down her telephone number. or a try out shows she has some tal ent that may be developed. Often an assistant director who thinks he could afford to be seen with Mabel in Coconut grove, gets her a chance to' play in some production. .". There arc." of course, some pretty girls, ;ho have become stars with out the sentimental aid of any man. But they were unusually good girls. You've got to have something more than beauty here, something more than talent, something more than de termination to work hard, something more than personality. It seems you must have a disregard for every thing but getting on. Now and then 'a big woman star takes an interest in a girl, makes her a protege.

She fitted up a room for her, put rare tapestries on the walls; a mag nificent four poster bed she hung with silks and satins; the floors she spotted with rose and eold the poetic dreams of. lovesick ori ental weavers.

P.I P Pius has decided that officers of the Italian army may witness the corona tion wearing their uniforms. This has not been permitted since the fall of the temporal power. it is interpreted as another sicn of the intention of the new pontiff to Carry on a policy of pacification be tween the church and the state, which is apparently earnestly desired by a majority of the Italian nation.

Neb. Farmers Union Activities Incorporation of the Farmers Un ion t-inaitce corporation Has been completed and supscription blank will be sent to the locals throughout the state within a few days, 1'resi- dent C. J. Qsbom of the state Farm ers Lmon has announced. Fifty thousand dollars of the capital stock must be subscribed and paid up, be fore the corporation can commence business. It is hoped to have this within a few weeks, so the corpora tion can begin to handle funds of the War Finance corporation. Regard less of whether the War Finance corporation is continued or expires on June 30, the Farmers Union Finance corporation will continue to function as a farmers' investment and loan company, Mr. Osborn said. Coast Needs Hogs. C. H. Withcy, manager of the Farmers Union Live Stock Commis sion company, has returned from the Pacific coast, where he went to in vestigate the demand from that ter ritory for hogs. He found a great scarcity of hogs on the coast. That territory will not be able to supply over 10 per cent of its needs, he re ports. California farmers, it seems, went out of the hog business in the period .of high-priced grains, .and have not taken up pork production to the former extent since the war. The hog shortage on the coast pres ages a good demand for butcher hogs from that section. Mr. Whi they reports, however, that the de mand is for lightweights. McCarthy Union Manager. Yoik, N e b. Con McCarthy, prominent farmer and Shorthorn breeder of this community, has been chosen manager of the Farmers Union state exchange in Omaha. He is a member ot the Doard ot direc tors of the exchange, having been elected in 1921 to fill a vacancy and re-elected at the stockholders'-mect-ing in January, for a full three-year term. It is understood .that . the board considered a number of- men for the exchange managership, but finally decided to put one ot their own number in active charge- of the business, and the choice fell upon Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy.?is an old-time member of the Farmers un ion in York county and has .bee ac tive in Farmers union enterprises. His family will remain on the farm here. - Creamery Doubles Output.

Last spring the company built an addition to its plant and installed a buttermilk drier. Competition wa very keen for cream in this territory during the year. A comparison of butterfat prices made by the Farmer Union creamery shows that station prices in the Superior territory averaged .i cents a pomm tor the year ahov station prices in other parts of Ne braska. Officers of the Farmers Union creamery point out that this increased price meant SjO.OOO to its patrons alone. Audit Murdock Union. Murdock, Neb. An audit of the Farmer Union Elevator company of this place covering the six years since tne company was orcanized has just been completed bv K. L. Shoe maker ot the farmers Union Audit Co. of . Omaha. This audit shows that in the six years stockholders have received cash and stock divi dends totahng S8.200. on an orieina paid-up capital of only $3,400. While no profit was made in the business in 1921, the stockholders feel that their investment in their own busi ness has been much more profitable u.an me investments which some tarmers were induced to make in various kinds of stock promoted in the boom days following the armis tice. Ullstrom at Union. Ruby, Neb. Sixty farmers attend ed a meeting of Ruby local of the farmers union. . A. L. Ullstrom. member of the state board of direc tors, was the speaker. He spoke on co-operative marketing of grain and live stock, and described the new Farmers Union Finance corporation now being formed. Farmers report that it was an enthusiastic meeting and that the result will be renewed activity in the Farmers union in this community. ' ' ' ' Urges Reserve Fund. Tilden, Neb. J. H. Bolin of the Farmers Union Audit company, Omaha, has audited the books of the farmers' co-operative store in this place. He is emphasizing the im portance of all co-operative enter prises building up good reserves as a safeguard against temporary reverses in business. Co-operative associa tions, he says, should refrain from paying patronage or trade dividends, and even stock dividends if necessary until their reserves reach a point that will enable thgm to weather busi ness squalls. Associations that had good reserves before the present de pression have not had financial dif- "Man Miput -Country" May Become International Villain for Movies Producers Offer to Make Him Highest Salaried Play er in World Other Nations Protest Casting of . -CitizeniTfor Derogatory Parts. By the AsMHsiated Prrti. New York, Feb. ; 12. American motion picture producers announced here that if the "man without a country" will consent to. play the international villain they will make him the highest salaried person in the movies. - The announcement was 'prompted, it was said, by recent threats of for eign governments to ban the films of producers who use one of their na tionals as the villain fn a picture. , It has come, to a point: where Uncle Sam-. !1s: the-, universal "goat," they 'said; as ' the United States is almost the only nation to refrain from official action against the casting of one ot its citizens in an unpopular role in the cinema. The consul general of China re cently asked for seats at a private shewing before censors from several states of a "super-picture" now show ing on Broadway. He explained that his government probably would wish to protest the use of. Chinese charac ters as villains of the "play.'. In another picture recently filmed, the unpopular roles were assigned to natives of Abyssinia.. The Abyssin ian government promptly lodged a protest, threatening to bar' all such pictures from that country, and from other countries where, ii had in fluence. . . , . . i ,. . Mexico was the latest tci put its foot on the display of "propaganda" pictures, when G. 5. Senguin, con sul general of the Obregon govern ment, informed American, producers that "the government will find pit necessary to stop the importation to Mexico of all films produced by com panies which may continue' to manu facture films derogatory to Mexico, even though the latter may be des tined to other-countries." It was intimated that ' ill-feeling toward. Mexico had been inflamed in Central and South American coun tries by pictures in which the Mexi can was portrayed as villain. ; "The trouble rests largely in the fact that pictures do not. reach those countries until several i'ears after they are made," one producer ex plained. "When the United States and Mexico were at odds, in the years tollowing 1916, the Mexican was a favorite character for the vil lain role. Now, although the two countries are friendly again, these ancient pictures are being dumped on the Central and South American market and Mexico objects. "A similar situation exists in China and, in fact, in all foreign countries which depend upon the United States for their movies." Kearney Teachers' College A study of report pertaining to rural schoolB of Buffalo county by Hans C.

At a re cent farmer-labor meeting, staged by the radicals, labor was well rep resented, but farmers were conspic-, uous by their absence. Leaders ,of the farm Bureau iea- eration say that the average farm er feels that' he has been made the goat in post-war deflation, but that he docs not blame the Harding ad ministration or the republican con gress for his plight, particularly as s chief complaint dates trout tne Wilson administration, lhat com- oiaiiit has to do with credit, tlu farmers being convinced that the de flation policy inaugurated by the te-J- eial rei-erve Heard under me yvnso administration operated detrimen tai'v to their interest.

The financial system of the country provided the short term credit' satisfactory to commerce and industry, but not the long terms credit needed by the farmers.

Lexington to Have Big Debate, ,' ' "The best is none too good for Lexington, appears to be the motto of that thriving western Nebraska city. When seeking enlightenment on national affairs they procure speakers of recognized ability and understanding to present the various sides of the issue. Early in March Lexington will stage a debate on grain marketing that is attracting na tional attention. Kalph J. rickneii, Chicaeo editor, and George I. lew- itt of Portland, Ore., vice president of the United States Grain Growers, Inc.. will be the sneakers. Mr. Pick- nell will defend the system in vogue at present, while Mr. Jewitt will at tempt to prove it a menace. The at tention the debate is attracting is best shown by requests for reserva tion of seats for visitors from the Pacific coast. Canada and Pennsyl vania, as well as numerous Nebraska and other nearby states. Hear Sermon Via Radio. Commercially and socially the radio appears to be gaining popu larity in Nebraska.

They now "listen in," while seated at the table, to world news.'market quotations or grand opera as their inclinations may dictate. Pay Tribute to Tilden Man. "We know Charles Corkle. and we know that when he recommends a cow his recommendation is better than any pedigree or bond that could be provided us." This unwitting tribute to Charles Corkle of Tilden was paid by a neighbor in explana tion of why over one-third of an of fering of fancy Hereford cattle placed on sale by Mr. Corkle in Nor folk were purchased and shipped back to Tilden by his neighbors. Buyers from several states were re luctant to pay the high prices bid by his neighbors. When informed of the reason Mr. Corkle's neighbors, mostly small farmers, were will ing to pay top prices, basing their judgment on the confidence in which the Tilden man was held by his neighbors, they managed to pick up several head after the sale at con siderably higher prices than had been paid iri the sale ring.

When he arrived home a curious traveling man was following him closely and pointing to the box. As the minis ter swung into a walk up town the traveling man was joined by others until trailing along behind was a mob of circus proportions. At the post- nffire the minister set down the closely pailed box, the contents ot which were unnnown to nis ioiiow ers, while he wiped the honest per-snirat-on from his face.
