Bodies OF American Dead To
Come Home.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Bodies
of all American soldiers buried
in Germany, Belgium, Italy.
Great Britain, Luxembourg and
North Russia will be returned to
the United States as soon as nee.
cessary transportation can be ar
ranged.
Secretary Baker announced to-
day he had issued instructions to
the purchase, storage and traffic
division of the general staff to
take charge of the matter and to
hasten it as much as possible.
This action, Mr. Baker said, did
not indicate any change in the
departments attitude toward the
return of the soldiers dead in
France. Secretary Baker said
it was hoped that the great major.
ity of American parents would
decide to let them remain there,
but that the wishes of the rela-
tives desiring the bodies return
ed would be carried out.

Louisiana Cotton Crop Gone
TO Peices.
New Orleans, La.

October 9, 1919.
The cotton crop has gone te
pelces. This is the key fact a,
the close of the last condition per-
iod, according to John S. Dennee,
field agent for the United States
Bureau Of Crop Estimates, in a
statement issued this afternoon
The message from the cotton
fields tells in no unmistakable
terms its tragic but authentic
denouement.
The percentage condition of the
crop, as determined by over 500
special reports, bearing an aver.
age Gate Of September %, is 38 a
decline of nine points for the
month. The average of deterior-
alton for the past ten years is 5
points. The ten-year average of
condition is 50 per cent, or q
points higher than the present
condition of 50. A year ago the
condition was So.
The condition on September %
Is the lowest in ten years.
A condition of 38 on Septem.
Der % forecasts about 100000
equivalent 500 pound bales, ex-
elusive OF linters. Last year pro.
duction was 587,717 bales, two
years ago 63S,729, and the ten.
year average of reproduction is 4l6,
269 bales.
In the spring and early sum.
mer protracted rains made farm
work almost impossible, and by
the time improvement in the wealth.
er made the cultivation of the crop
practicable, the cotton had gotten
30 badly in the grass that farmers
found it more profitable to plow
up and plant other crops. Labor
shortage played a highly impor-
tant partin acreage abandonment,
which is reported as heavy.
Boil weevil activities have been
the worst in many years. Army
worms have destroyed every leaf
in hundreds of fields, and the
stalks show no sign of vitality.
The crop averages about three
weeks late, and about 80 per cent

Proclamation,

) ton. The Turmoil of war is over
leaving wreckage in its wake
r Our country is confronted will
grave economic problems. TIL,
extraordinary condition of public
unrest with its accompanying dis
} order and bold propaganda O.
destructive ideas and the higf
cost of living makes it necessary
to emphasize an occasion whose
objects are clearly those of con.
servation, public safety and con.
structive ideals of citizenship
The splendid patriotism displayed
by our people in time of war must
be manifest in time of peace,
There are two ways of reducing
the cost of living-more produc.
tlon and greater economy.
Fire loss is an economic waste.
Each year over three million dol.
lars worth of property is destroyed
in Louisiana alone. The materi.
ais and foodstuffs burned must be-
replaced by labor.
An earnest effort by our people
would materially lessen the fire
loss, for fires are the result Of
carelessness, faulty construction,
want of proper precaution or in
cendiarism. Carelessness is re.
sponsiblc for go per cent of the
fires.
In order to awaken our people
to realization of the dangers of
fire, the economic loss and fire
prevention as a patriotic duty, |,
r. G. Pleasant, Governor of the
State of Louisiana, do hereby
proclaim and designate Thursday,
October 9th, 1919, "Patriotic Fire
Prevention Day. and earnestly
urge that our people observe this
day by a general cleaning up and
removal of all rubbish and waste.
and by placing their heating ap-
paratus and ch'mneys in proper
condition for winter use.
Let Hospitals, Asylums, Facto.
ries, Theatres, Hotels and all OF.
her public and private institutions
be carefully inspected on this day
and Improvements be made that
will further provide for the safety
of the occupants and the elimina-
tion of fire danger.
Let the municipal officers
throughout the State, in a formal
manner show recognition of the
day by giving attention to better
building regulations, fire preven-
ton and protection, and ordi.
nances that will insure safety to
life.
Lastly, let period be set aside
in the public, private and paro-
chial schools, so that the teachers
may instill into the respective
minds of the children, through
short talks and proper programs,
the hazards Of fire, the simple
means of fire prevention and the
dangers Of carelessness.

: Fort Calhoun, which is Older than
Omaha. is one of the most interest
ing spots of history in Nebraska.
Some have said it is the cradle of
Nebraska history. Lewis and Clark,
sent by President Jefferson on their
famous expedition, reached Calhoun
July 80, 1904, and on August 4 of
the same year they held their MEM
orable council with the Missouris
and Otoes on a hill which is one
and one-half miles north of Fort
Calhoun of today. The location was
then known as Council Bluff"
Monument is Placed.
Manuel de Lisa, intrepid Spanish
adventurer, made his first trip up
the river during 1907 to a point a
few miles south of Fort Calhoun.
He named his camping ground Fort
Lisa" He made love to belle OF
the Omaha tribe, whose name was
Mitain. A Lewis and Clark MONT
ment was placed in tie Calhoun
public school yard during 1904 by
the Nebraska State Historical So
ciety and the Sons and Daughters
of the American Revolution.
Logan Fontenelle, who was a
chief of the Omahas and for whom
the Fontenelle hotel in Omaha was
named, was born in Fort Calhoun,
May f, 1925, being the son Of Lucien
and Francois Fontenelle. His father
was of French nobility and his
mother a member of the Omaha
tribe of Indians.
Calhoun has the distinction of
having been the scene Of the first
public school library, first brass
band and first county court house
in Nebraska. The first church par
sorage of this state was erected in
Calhoun and was occupied by Rev.
A. w. White. The first recorded
white child of Nebraska was born
in this pioneer settlement. CAL

WALLAGNUTTING,
ANTIQUE EXPERT,
SPEAKSN IN OMAHA
illustrates Lecture on Early
American Homes and
Furnishings.

Wallace Nutting, artist and collec.
tor, lectured to about l25 people in
the ball room of the Hotel Fonte-
nellie Saturday night on Early
American Homes and Their Furnish
ings."
Mr.. Nutting owns FIVE homes in
New Eneland which have been re-
stored ard furnished in period by
him. Interior and exterior views of
these places, as we'll as landscapes
of the region. were shown by colored
stereopticon pictures. Apple trees in
blossom, elm trees, "thc most mag
nihcent vegetable of the temperate
zone,' oak trees more than 1000
years old. and birches, the white
ladies of the wood, were especially
pleasing.
The homes and their furnishings
dated back to 1916. Broadhearth
house was built in that year and is
remarkable for its overhung and
Gothic roof. Wentworth -Gadner
house of 1860 is noted for its Won
derful hall, remarkable panels, carv-
ings and fireplaces. Pictures of fur
niture in Dutch, Chippendale and
Hepplewhite were shown. The en-
tire exhibition was a feast for the
lover of antiques.
when man has achieved a great
work, the man himself is greater
than the work. Work develops man.
That is its chief value; but man him
self is always greater than anything
he may achieve. No matter how
notable the achievement may be, the
antecedent in his brain was more
glorious, more dazzling, more su-
perb. The materials with which he
works in an endeavor to express
himself, are cold, obstinate and can
tankerous," said Mr.. Nutting in his
predatory remarks.
Mr.. Nutting lectured under the
auspices of the Omaha Business
Woman's club.
