Senator Gronna demands that the govern
ment-fxed price for wheat be abandoned. His
idea, of course, is to allow wheat to be sold on
open market with no restriction. This, he
holds will enable the farmer to get profit he
is now denied basing his conclusion on the as
sertion that -four is being sold on a basis OF
$4-wheat. If this be true, the action should be
against the miller, who is extorting undue
profits from the public. When congress was
passing bill setting aside 81 1200,000y000 to en-
able the government to make good its guaranty
to the farmer, Senator Gronna raised the point,
that under war needs wheat might have
mounted in price to any figure, but not less than
S., and therefore the farmers of the country
were being defrauded of at least dollar
bushel. Men as wise and as we'll informed as
he, however, are Of the opinion that the price of
wheat will soon drop, and that the farmer is
being saved by the intervention of the govern
ment. At any rate, the people who have to buy
bread are preserved from prohteering in this
necessity at least.

Forestation in Nebraska.

Thirty years ago The Bee advocated the
establishment of forest reservations in Ne
braska. Not that the state had any consider
able wooded area to be protected, but because
it had great areas adapted to the growing OF
forest trees, but nearly useless for any other
purpose The condition exists today, with the
exception that experiments have proved that
certain varieties of pine will thrive on the sand
hills Of Nebraska. 1t has never been contended
that these timbers would solves the lumber
problem for the state, but they would furnish
many articles of wood that now must be i'm
ported Periodically, The Bee has renewed this
suggestions, always in the hope that some time
governor and legislature will come, wise
enough to see the possibilities in state pro-
gram for forestation, and set on foot the work
that will bring great reward in many ways. Had
the matter been taken up thirty years ago, we
would have those vast areas covered with
healthy growth of serviceable timber instead
of bare and unproductve sand hills. 1t must
come some time, for the people are learning
sense. ...... +.

police?" asked Peggy.
why, the police would save us
from the cannibals," answered Billy
confidently.
Just then the cave grew very dark,
and, looking out, they saw a fish
that to their eyes looked as big as
all elephant.
"Is it a whale?" asked Peggy.
Looks more like a big dogfsh,"
answered Billy, and that is what 1t
was, although, of course, they were
so small that it was many times
larger than they were.
Come out Of there. You're under
arrest. I'm the policeman" gurgled
the doghsh. What do you mean by
stealing Mr.. Perch's homer"
"If we come out will you save us
from the cannibal fish? ?" asked Billy.
Indeed, I'll not. I'll let them eat

Billy Jabs a Policeman,


THE cave in which Peggy and
1 Billy found themselves was
small and snug. AS the roily waters
outside cleared up they were able to
see about plainly. The floor was OF
clean, hard sand and the walls were
smooth and well built. To their sur
prise they noticed that the cave was
not hollow rock, as they had at
first thought. but was made appar-
emily OF straw 1t was a very cozy
under-the- water home.
wouldn't it be fine to camp out
here?' suggested Billy.
Yes, If you were sure that awful
fish wouldn't come back replied
Peggy.
WED better find some sticks to
bar the entrance so he can't get in
if he does come back" declared Bill
ly, anxiously.
There were no sticks in the cav
ern itself, although there were plen-
ty on the river bottom outside.
Peggy and Billy didn't like the
idea of venturing from the shelter
Of the cave with the cannibal fish
prowling about, but they knew if the
owner of the cave came back they
would have mo way in which to fight
him. So after looking around very
carefully and seeing that the can
nibals We're not in sight they crept
through the hole.
Peggy turned to take a look at the
cave, and what she saw made her
mouth open in surprise.
why, the cave is an old hat" she
gurgled, "and l do believe it is the
very same hat that blew from my
head into the river when l was
walking along the bank last year.
isn't that funny?" bubbled Billy
us that spear sticking in it,"
That's an ornamental pin," re-
piled Peggy. You can use it for
spear"
Billy and Peggy tugged at the pin
spear, and while it was so rusty 1t
stuck fast, they finally gave a hard
jerk that brought it out. And just
in time, for a shadow passed over
them, and they saw large fish
nosing downward. 1t was the owner
of the nest
Billy showed Peggy into the cave
and tumbled in after her. Then as
the f1sh-a handsome perch-drifted
toward the entrance Billy stood on
guard with his spear. The perch was

The city council has adopted a miserable
makeshift to deal with the Sunday ice ques-

give the city competent care. Ice is as neces-
sary in Omaha on Sunday during the summer as
water or air, and ought to be as easy to get.

away in a hurry. I'm eat you my.
self for that" he spluttered.
IF you can get US" said Billy.
IF you'll not come out we will
hold court and try you right here
for stealing this nest and stabbing
me-" said the dogfish. He and Mr..
Perch swan away.
Il guess they have gone. We'd
better escape from here" suggested
Billy, Come"
But 1t was too late to escape.
Suddenly the hat cave was raised
from over their heads--a whole COM
pany of dogfish lifting it bodily.

his horns threateningly at them.

Without any word of goodbye,
