The letter says that where grain and

Chinese Red Cross society has been es-
tablished at weihsien, which hopes to do
something to relieve the widespread des-
titution.

FACULTY COACH FOR HIGH
limitations Are that Next Mentor
Will Be Primarily "a. Glass
Instructor.
REASON PROBABLY IS EXPENSE

While serious attention has been given
the matter. It is more than probable that
the departure of Tommy Mills viii mark
the passing OF the paid athletic coach at
the Omaha High school. 1t Is freely In
timated that the next coach at the high
school win be a member OF the faculty
and will draw his salary fundamentally
for his services as instructor of classes
and but secondly as an athlstic coach
Principal G. z. Reed, when approached
on the matter, declared that the faculty
coach would probably be selected.
Athletics at the high school have been
pretty big expense item and the money
taken in at the gate at the various com
petitions does not balance with the ex-
pense accounts. While not ascribed as
a reason. that is probably the basis for
the faculty coach suggestion.

WOULD BE SOME PUNISHMENT
Congressman Had Right Idea, Unless
1t Came Under Heading of "Cruel
and Unusual"

Congressman Thomas U. Sisson of
Mississippi smiled when the topic
turned to the proper punishment for
a negligent husband. He said he was
reminded of a case of that kind.
Some time ago a married man ran
away with a silly young girl, and
after an exciting chase the clippers
were captured and returned home.
Naturally, the escapade was the one
theme of conversation in the small
town where they lived, and everybody
in the corner store had his own idea
as to what the husbands punishment
should be.
One suggested a life sentence, an
other suggested that 80 years in the
penitentiary would be the proper
thing, while a third spoke eloquently
of tar and feathers.

LEARN MIGRATION OF MOTHS
Department of Agriculture Systemat-
ic in its War on the Pest of
the Farmer.

Unusual methods are being follow
ed by the department of agriculture
in its attempt to control the spread
of army-worm moths in the United
States. The plan, which embraces
a close study of the habits Of the in
sect, is one which requires the assist
ance of every person in the eastern
and central states. The entomolo-
gists are catching the moths, coloring
one wing of each and then l~iberating
them in order to determine in what
direction they emigrate, and how
quickly and how far they spread.
Agents at Portsmouth, Va, are stain
ing one wing of each specimen red;
those at Charlottesville Va, black or
yellow, and those at Hagerstown, Nd,
violet. The moths are then allowed
to follow their natural course, and the
success of the experiment is left to
the advices returned to the bureau of
entomology by the people at large

PAYROLL Of
CIVILIZATION MET
BY FARMER
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS' ON
LIST OF EMPLOYEES.
A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers, Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer is the paymaster of
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays it's bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer is compelled to
honor without protest. This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of COM
merce; may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from a tree.
When a farmer buys a pillow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped it into an ar
ticle of usefulness, the railroad that
transported it and the dealer who
sold him the goods. He pays the
wages of labor and capital employed
in the transaction as we'll as pays
for the tools, machinery, buildings,
etc., used in the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles of use and diet of HIM
self and those engaged in the sub
sidiary lines of industry.
There is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
of the farmer. He must pay the bills
all of them.
The total value of the nations
annual agricultural products is around
$12, 900, 000, 900, and it is safe to esti-
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of SUBJ
sidiary industries. The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the days toll he
devotes to meeting the payroll of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, CONNER
cial and other servants.
