wish in this way to express to you
my thanks and hearty appreciation
of your cooperation in helping to
entertain the visiting Shriners and

pressing the delight and pleasure
that the parties had while in Greene

successful occasion and it was made
possible by the hearty cooperation

when she undertakes anything of this

even luster was added to her glory.

THE TOY sTREWN HOUSE

Give me the house where the toys
are strewn,
Where the dolls are asleep in the
chairs,
Where the building blocks and the
toy balloon,
And the soldiers guard the stairs
Let me step in the house where the
tiny cart
With its horses rules the floor,
And the rest comes to my weary
heart
For am at home once more.
Give me the house with the toys
about,
With the battered old train of cars,
The box of paints and the books left
out
And the ship with her broken spars /;
Let me step in the house at the close
of the day
That is Uttered with children's toys,
and dwell once more in the
haunts of play
With the echoes of by gone noise.
Give me the house where the tops
are seen,
The house where the children romp,
And I'll happier be than man has
been
Meath the gilded dome of pomp. Let
me see the litter Of bright eyed
play
Strewn over the parlor floor,
And the joys know in faroff day
Will gladden. my heart once more.
Whoever has lived in toy strewn
home
Though feeble he be and gray
Will yearn, no matter how far he
roam,
For the glorious disarray
OF the little home with its Uttered
floor
That was his in bygone days,
And his heart will throb as it throb-
bed before
When he rests where baby plays.

such huge drain on European re-
sources on top of abnormally swollen
adverse balances arising out of our
foreign trade with those countries
have interposed a serious obstacle in
the way of strengthening out the in
ternational credit situation. With
such funding plan as has been
proposed under contemplation it will
be much easier, bankers said last
week, to solve the general credit
problem. Foreign trade reports for
August appeared last week, indcat-
ing that exports are continuing at
high record figures. Exports last
month were $604, 900, an increase
of $76,00O,00O over July. Imports
fell off $35,OO0.OOO to $3OS, 100000,
as compared with July, so that the
trade balance in our favor was close
to $300,00O,0OO.
The outstanding development in
the general investment situation last
week was the rising strength dis
played by the Liberty Loan bonds.
The government issues, in active de-
mand the preceding week, continued
to be steadily absorbed in large vol
ume by investors, and the effect of
the persistent buying was to estab-
lish the highest range Of prices in a
long time. While some Of the buy
ing represented purchases for the
purpose Of escaping personal taxes
due in October, most of the demand
plainly came from investors who
have come to a realization that the
financial position of the Treasury
has undergone great improvement
and the government Indebtedness is
quite certain to be steadily reduced
as time goes OH. Figures issued last
week indicated that already the gov
eminent through purchase has re-
tired or cancelled nearly $S0O,0OO,-
600 of the Liberty bonds to date.
The range of Liberty bond prices at
the close Of last week showed some
rather striking recoveries from the
levels OF latter August. The second

While the strike of the steel work
ers was the development on which
attention was mainly centred last
week, pronounced Improvement in
the foreign exchanges did not pass
unnoticed, and, in fact, it was a
constructive influence of considerable
Importance. The recovery in ster-
ling exchange amounted to about 10
cents in the pound, the rate getting
up to around $4.25, compared with a
recent low record OF $4.12. French
exchange underwent similar inn
provement, and most Of the other cx-
changes moved up. There were two
reasons for the better tone in this
market. In the first place, the
Treasury announced that plans were
under discussion for funding the
short term obligations of the Allies

Rural Schools Of
West Nebraska Are
Without Teachers

Lincoln, Sept. S. - Many rural
schools in western Nebraska coun-
ties have not yet secured teachers
for the fall and winter terms and
will not be able to open at the time
set, according to reports reaching the
state superintendent Office. Lincoln,
Perkins and Keith counties are lack
ing about two dozen apiece, and I'M
less they are supplied from the out
side it will not be possible to keep
all the schools going.
Chase and Hayes are other coun-
ties where the shortage of pedagogic
material exists. In the latter county
the teachers institute was abandoned
some weeks ago because there were
not enough present to make it worth
while.
Some districts lacking teachers
may send their children to adjoin-
ing districts which are more for
tunate. 1t is probable that a COM
bination of two or three schools will
be necessary in various localities.
Western Nebraska is not alone in
facing a teacher shortage. though it
is not so marked in other parts of
the state. Cass county, on the east
ern border, is having trouble along
this line.

Lincoln Bureau of The Omaha Bee
P. A. Barr ows. Correspondent
Cole Makes Unique
Plea in Last Effort
to Save His Life

Lincoln, Sept. 5.-(Special. )-That
the district court of Howard county
erred in not examining witnesses to
determine whether Alison B. Coles
crime was murder in the first or the
second degree, or manslaughter, and
instead, instructed the jury to return
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree, is the argument made by Coles
attorney in a brief filed in the SUI
preme court, supporting the appli-
cation of his client for writ of
habeas corpus.
Statutory citations are given in
support of the contention that the
court could not legally determine
the degree of guilt except by the
testimony of witnesses. In the
Howard county trial Cole entered a
plea of guilty" and his written con-
fession was before the court. Judge
Stewart refused the writ of habeas
corpus on the theory that the facts
thus adduced were sufficient to es-
tablish the crime of first degree
murder.
This proceeding is Coles last
chance to prevent the execution Of
the death sentence imposed upon
him for killing Mrs. Lulu Vogt. He
does not deny he committed the
deed and no appeal was taken from
his conviction.
The supreme court sustained the
death sentence in the case of Allen
V. Grammer, who was convicted as
Coles accessory, and Governor Nc
kelvie declined to interfere with its
decree.
