MAYOR Of OMAHA
INJURED BY MOB
GOES TO HOSPITAL AFTER BEING
DRAGGED THROUGH STREETS
WITH ROPE AROUND NECK.
LOSING FIGHT OF SHERIFF
Officers Hold Mob Back Until Flames

house and held a consultation with
Sheriff Clark. Emerging from the

gan to make an appeal for law and or

and member of the mob threw rope
around his neck.
Half dozen men dragged the may

end Of the rope over trolley pole.
Twice they drew the mayors body
from the ground. Each time two po-
lice officers cut the rope, Following
the second attempt these officers sue
ceeded in getting the mayor into q
police motor car and rushed him to a
surgeons office nearby. The mayor
was bleeding from his mouth and nose,
and after a brief examination by ply
sicians, was taken to a hospital.

GET OUT IN THE OPEN

Get out in the open and gaze at the
trees, and bark to the song of the
birds and the bees. Just put on your
shake and hike to the woods, where
Nature, doggone it! delivers the
goods-away from the city, the strife
and the noise. Oh, bark to this ditty
and seek natures joys 'Tis good for
man to get back to the sod, to look
at the blooms and the peas in the pod
'Tis we'll for human to roll on the
grass and frisk in the fields like a
hook-dodging bass. Too needless
are we of the beautiful charms-the
pastures. the fields and the streams
and the farms. Each pebble, each
leaf and each katydid's song les
son will teach as you travel along.
Make friends with the dog and the
horse and the COW; get friendly with
ducklings and chickens somehow.
Appreciate nature-doggone it! we
should quite frequently hike where
the seeing is good The pure Systal
brooks and the soft, velvet green are
things that no artist can copy, I ween.
You'd better step lively before the
white snow envelops the scene with
its mantle, you know The mortal
who cares not for natures array is
apt to be gloomy and cherries and
gray. To let your eye feast on the
beautiful sight will make your heart
glad and your conscience feel right.

where they gather the ripenine hay.

road: unburden your mind from its

Anniversary Of Famous
Negro Slave Preacher

Today is the seventy-sixth anniver-
sary of the birth of James Barton
Adams, soldier, poet and scout, who
won immortality by putting into
verse the famous negro sermon,
What You Gwine To Tell De
Lawd?" Adams was born in Ohio,
served through the Civil War with
an Iowa regiment, and was scout
during the Indian wars in Kansas.
Nebraska and Wyoming He 'was
long connected with Denver journal
dsm and what Yo' Gwine To Tell
De Lawd?" was first published in a
Denver newspaper Since then it has
gone the rounds of the press of the
English-speaking world. The poem
is based on the fervent exhortations
Of John Jasper, a negro slave preach
er, who died not many years ago.
This is the the 10Th anniversary of
Jasper's birth in Richmond, Va.
Throughout his career the colored
person preached the literal interpre-
tation of the Bible, and persistently
declared that "de sun do move"
Poet Adams began his version of
Jasper's sermon in this wise:
When de trumpets am tootin' an de
stahs dey am shootin' an de
owls dey am hootin' in de trees.
When de earf it am quakin' an de
dead dey am a wakin' an de peo-
He am a shakin' in de knees;
WheM yo' hea' de rollin' thundah, an
de rocks am rent a-sundah and
de hosts am in dier wondah
standin' awed,
An you fin yo'self tremblin' while
de nations am assemblin,' Oh,
sinner, what yo' gwine to tell de
Lawd?
When de planets get knockin' at
each udder an a rockin,' an de
tempest seems mockin' at yo'
wo,
When de- darkness am a fallin' an
the buzza'ds am squallin' an de
angels am a calm yo' to go;
When de sun hab quit its shinin' an
de brack wolves am a whinin' an
de mo'nahs lay repinin' on de sod.
An yo's asked to tell de story, what
yo' doin' up in glory, Oh, sinner,
what yo' gwine to tell de Lawd?

Two Queer Strikes.

A one-man strike occurred In an
Australian city. A prisoner in the
town Jail. a tailor by trade, refused
to work In the tailor's shop on the
plea that It would be contrary to his
principles as trade unionist, unfair
competition with his brother unionists
outside" as he put 1t. He sent let.
ter to the tailors' union. but as they
took no notice he was condemned to
three days solitary confinement, dur
ing which he continued the strike"
There was a strike of paupers once
In a country poorhouse. They struck
for new potatoes! They expected
green's for dinner and. as there were
none. they refused to eat old spuds!
They even declined to enter the dining
room. The guardians prescribed a
bread and water diet, with the result
that at the end of "a hours the in
mates were ready for potatoes-new
or old.

HOW PLANTS ARE "MATED'
Breeders Today Able to Control With
Much Definiteness the Char
aeter Of the Offspring.

Plants very commonly depend for
their cross-fertilization upon insects.
which carry pollen from flower to
flower. But. Of course. the matings
thus accomplished are purely haphaz-
ard.
The plant breeder to get worth while
results must select the destined par.
ents and control the character Of the
offspring by making sure that par
ticular 60wer receives only certain
pollen. the latter being the male ele-
ment.
He accomplishes this by artificial
imp1egnation-a matter easy enough,
especially in q greenhouse. The pollen
may be carried in watchglass and
applied with the tip Of little brush.
There are, however. other methods.
To make the flower safe against
other and accidental pollens, 1t is IN
closed in tiny bag Of cheesecloth.
Then the breeder is sure Of his par
ents, and it remains only to be seen
how the offspring will turn out. It
may prove valuable new variety.
Suppose that a fruit is concerned.
The latter, to prevent injury by in.
sects or birds, may be further pro-
tected by cheesecloth bag big enough
to allow for It's full development.
Thus 1t grows to ripe perfection and.
when it is ready to be picked, judg-
:sent can be given as to Its value. &,

Animal Faces.

The likeness of certain human types
to familiar animals is a matter Of com.
mon observation. Caricaturists from
the days Of the Greeks and Romans
down have made use of its suggestions.
In our daily speech we naturally de-
scribe men as rat-faced. hoggish or
foxy in appearance, or say of q noble
looking old man that he possesses q
leonine head.
Still other persons we pronounce
simian, and although few of us would
care to merit personal application
of that adjective. 1t need not be
wholly uncomplimentary. rs one would
imagine. The dignified and venerable
Charles Darwin accepted it az applied
20 himself with no resentment.

Agreements Between
Japan And China


parent that China's policy at the
Paris conference in foregoing
the worlds attention on the Sc
cret employed by Japan during
the Great Wa ris having far
reaching effect.
The documents laid on the ta-
BILE at the Peace Conference by
the Chinese Delegation compris-
ing the 1915 Series of Treaties /;
the Sino-Japanese Military Con-
vention of 1918; and the Ex-
changes Of Notes Relative to
Japanese Railway Concessions
in South Manchuria, Inner Eas-
tern Mongolia, and Chill Province
and Shantung and related mat
ters, are being supplemented by
further details published stimuli
taneously in Peking and Tokyo on
March 18th. Most important is
the publication Of the military
convention with the hitherto un-
disclosed extension signed in
February. Over twelve treaties
are to be revealed with the mu.
tual consent of China and Japan.
In this group of treaties are
two agreements between the
Chinese Government and the Bri-
tish Marconi Co., and two with
the fSiems-C Carey interests o
America, and selected Sino-Jap-
anese agreements.
Cable advices to the Far Eas-
tern Bureau from Shanghai state
that the Japanese Minister in
Peking asked the Chinese Gov
ernment to refrain from publish
ing inconvenient parts Of secret
treaties, which those Chinese
politicians in sympathy with
Japan agreed to do. It may,
therefore, be accepted that as
the power of the Chinese Pres
ident increase over this pro-Jap-
anese group in the Chinese cap
ital, President Hsu Shih-changes
policy Of forcing publicity on the
Japanese agreements will result
in a further series Of revelations
concerning the Japanese finan-
cial and political intrigues dur
ing the Great War.
This move is part Of China's
to rehabilitate her in
ternational position. It was
with this in mind that China, at
the request Of Japan, assented
to the publication Of the Shant-
ung Railway Agreement of Sep
tember, 1918; the world now
knows that Japan advanced ten
dollars for railway con-
under condition, which
allowed the pro-Japanese leaders
in China's capital to use the mon
ey for m ilitary operations
against their southern oponents.
China consented to the publ
cation of the ShantunR agree
ment because the President and
his supporters felt that it would
establish Japan's acceptances Of
the policy of revealing secret
agreements which should be
scrutinized at the Paris Confer
ence. This has led to the inclu-
sion of agreements with other
nations. Altogether it is to be
hoped that China's action will
force the clearing up Of condi-
lions in the Far East in a way
which is fair to all Powers con-
,erned.
