OMAHA CONGRESS CHAMPIONS MANY
 TIMELY TOPICS
Endorses League of Nations and Resumption of In-
 dustrial Work.

Omaha, Neb Feb 22--TEe Trans Mississippi Readjustment congress held here February IS to 20 adopted the following declaration:
 League of Nations.
 We endorse the principle of a league of nations. We believe it to be the duty of the public men of the Unit ed States to cooperate in securing the adoption of the moderate and prac- ical plan presented to the Paris con- ference.
 Unemployment of Soldiers.
 We believe that both public and private agencies should show the same concern for the restoration of the discharged soldier to his normal place in the economic society that was shown in inducting him into the military service. One of the prime reasons for setting in motion the wheels of trade and industry should be to furnish employment for those who entered the army and the navy to take part in the war, as we'll as those who engaged in unaccustomed war industries and are now out of employment While the readjusting process is taking place in private industry, effort should be made to promote public work by the federal government and by the state and mu- nicipakties.
 In order that the municipalities may be enabled to proceed with the work of reconstruction that must be met by local assessment in the cities we urge the railroad administration to reced from it's policy of refusing to meet such local assessments on railroad properties in the cities where required by state laws.
 We also urge the enactment of federal legislation for the reclama- tion of the arid and waste lands in the public domain an dtHe enactment of state laws, whereby the returning soldiers, may be given employment in the preparation of such lands for set clement and provided with assistance to make permanent homes when the reconstruction period IS passed.
 Resumption of Industry. We do not favor a pause in the iu- dustrial process to await some future readjustment of wages and prices oi staples. So far as public improve ments are concerned they should be resumed It once. It is better that the public should absorb tile increased cost, if it should hereafter appear than that the general unemployment and cinsequent disaster ard social dis. { order should follow.
 1 We believe also that the promoters of private construction and business enlargement should take. heart o1 courage md should believe in the i'm. mediate resumption of business pros I perity in the United States.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Parasitic ChIldrcn-1.


A fine and noble woman of my ac-
quaintance was left a widow with a
little son and no money. She rolled
up her sleeves and went to work to
support herself and her child. and
thru many weary years she has la
bored long and hard at ,eping a
boarding ,house so thar her boy might
not only be properly clothed. and fed.
and housed, but have every advantage
of education.
Great was the mothers rejoicing
when. at last, the lad finished college
and Jared forth in the world to seek
his fortune. but instead of returning
with a we'll filled pocket book and
crowned with bays. in about two years
he came back with his wife and a
baby, and brought them to mothers
boarding house to live, and for mother
to support.
oh, yes, the prodigal sons and
daughters always come back home at
last, worse luck! Also they bring
their membranes along with them,
and it makes those of us who are on
lockers wish that when the fatted calf
is slain for the wanderer. somebody
We uld slip little rough on rats into
the veal ragout.
For if there is anything on earth
! that is despicable. and that rouses the
murderous instinct in every decent
breast, it is the spectacle of great
big husky man or woman, in the
strength of their youth, calmly and
deliberately settling themselves on the
| back of their poor, old parents, and
depriving them of the few comforts.
and the ease and rest in their last
days that they have earned by a life
| time of toll.
Compared with that. robbing a blind
| beggar and liking candy from a baby.
| are meritorious and gallant acts. for,
at least. we owe no debt of gratitude
| to the beggar and the baby that We
| are in honor bound to pay, as we are
our debt of gratitude to our parents.
| 1t is no excuse to say that the
| father and the mother fall on the
prodigars neck with tears of joy, and
are rea-y to give him or her the best.
OF course they are. What father or
| mother can endure to see their chill
| dren starve while they have a crust or
| strip a garment from their backs to
cover them, or who could sleep at
night in their beds if they knew their
children were homeless?
The very fact that parents give.
| and give, and give. without counting
| the cost to themselves makes it all
the more dastardly for their children
to graft upon them. Yet thousa nds
upon thousands of young people, who
| never even think of themselves as
|
bles. have no shame in exploiting this
divine parent love for their own
benefit
Every one of US knows some pa
| thetic old man, with bent back and
stopped shoulders. who tolls far be-
yond his strength every day to sup
port a house full of daughters who
are far more able to work than he is.
All of their lives he has fed them on
his life blood. and they are greedily
devouring the last drop OF it. and
complaining because it is so thin and
| poor.

EXPLANATION is NEEDED.

Some light is thrown on the subject
of food prices. but not enough, by a
recent press dispatch from London
which says:
OIeomargarine is being sold at "a
cents a pound. tho the competitive
value is 16 cents. Oranges in certain
shops may be seen marked at the old
maximum of 20 cents a pound. There
is an abundant supply at 8 cents
pound in the general markets and
good apples at II cents, tho the Sc
Guided fruiters still charge IS cents
for any kind.
1t is interesting to note in the above
the complaint that oleomargarine is
being sold for "a cents a pound where
its competitive value is only 6 cents;
that is. that isolated grocers charge a
price that is not known where there is
competition. Thus where the grocers
compete, oleomargarine brings only Is
cents a pound.
In this country the quotations are
from 80 to 40 cents a pound for oleo-
margarine. Oleomargarine, by the
way, is an American product. Yet it
is sent to England and sold far cheap
err than it is sold in America. Oranges
ket at s cents a pound and good ap-
pies al - cents. prices that are scarce
! Iy approximated in the United States,
where the apples and oranges are
raised.
| I'VE must confess" says the Fort
| Wayne News that the English story
rather leaves us gasping. Here we
are having it drilled into us that we
must save to feed England and the
other allies. while England at least is
enabled to buy food at prices consider
ably less than we are forced to pay
There is something about the situation
that needs calculation"
/ Control of prices in England and in
this country appears to be exercised in
the interest of the producer and the
distributor. rather than of the con-
! sumner.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am TWEEN
ty-one years of age and 1 have two
boy friends whom 1 think exceeding
ly pleasant. One of them has just
returned from camp.
The other one is very masterful.
He wants me to give up all my other
boy friends for him, altho he con-
fesses he cannot marry for two or
three years.
He told me that if he found others
here when he called he would take
his hat and leave unless I intimated
to them to go. Would you stand for
Should I give up my other boy
friend and wait two or three years for
him?
YOURS QUESTIONINGLY.
Two years is too long a time for the
young man to ask you to wait. Insist
upon being free and entertaining
whenever you want 70. He is unrea-
sonable in asking you to tie yourself
to him for SO long a time.
OF course you should not ask others
to go home when they are calling.
To. do so would be violating the rules
of hospitality.
L think if you wait you will meet
some other young man whom you will
like better because he is not SO petty.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have been
corresponding with a man great deal
older than 1 and 1 know he cares a
great deal about me, but 1 care for
another man and 1 only care for the
first as a friend. But 1 hate to hurt
| his feelings by telling him he can't
write to me. Please advise me what
! to do.
1 care for this other man more than
! life and l think he loves me. Would
you give up the older man?
ANXIOUS.
If you enjoy the letters the older
man writes and regard him as a good
| friend, 1 think you should continue
your correspondence with him. 1t
| would be foolish to give him up be-
| fore the younger man definitely asks
you to marry him.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls Is years old. We are nice look
| ing and of good reputation and pop
ular among the girls, but not boys.
What is the trouble?
| ROSY CHEEKS AND DIMPLES.
You are too young to be popular
| with boys olde- than yourselves, and
| boys of your own age are too young
as a rule to thing much about girls
| OF course there are some girls of / G
who are popular, but l think they are
| unfortunate rather than fortunate;
| they develop too soon and by the time
they are old enough to enjoy young
men they are cast aside for new at
| fractions.
