WAHOo FARMER

out CalIoused Hands Seek
ing Three Figured Salaries
Not Wanted.

"The cost of production is sub
iject drawing the attention of farm
ers around Wahoo." said Nelson
Mays of that place, who was Wis
Iitof at the stock yards Saturday
with a two-car shipment of cattle
and hogs.
"Haphazard farming and stock
feeding is thing of the past" con-
tinued Mr.. Mays, because Of the
increased cost of production. Farm
ers are not so keen for hired men
this year if they have to pay three
figured salaries for common labor,
and they are not going to bid
against each other for high-priced
feeder cattle.
"Many farmers in my nei ghbor-
hood are going to reduce their pro-
duction of grain and live stock in
preference to taking chance of the
market remaining high for live
stock. Farmers around Wahoo are
willing to pay from $40 to SIS a
month and board for hired men this
year and there will be no employ
ment OF green help who have no

Says (
Church Is Necessity,
Not Modern Luxury

1t was announced last night in the
South Side Christian church revival,
Twenty-third and | streets, that the
church had five great aims in the
meetings. To increase the Bible
school to 800, add 100 new members,
make the church the center of a
great community spirit, put the en-
tire church at work and interest at
least 1000 people in the South Side
church.
These meetings" said Evangelist
r. F. Winston, will continue until
Easter. Every one of these aims
can be realized. Why should we
side-step the tremendous oppor-
tunity we now have? The old devil
is on the job with many institutions
that stand for damnation and it is
right that the church should be on
the job for salvation.
"The church is necessity and the
only thing that stands between us
and barbarism. | don't preach sal
vation as a luxury, l preach it as a
necessity. Can you image Omaha
a church1ess, Christless city? 1t is
bad enough now, but you take out
the church and it will be a hell let
loose. Men are not moral and de-
cent in Omaha because they are
free thinkers-they are decent be-
cause of the restrains placed upon
them by Christianity, and if it were
not for the church in the community
we would have indecency and law
lessness. ....
"If you want to know what inf
deity has done for a nation, go to
France. Five per cent are Protest
ants, Is per cent Catholics and 80
per cent nothing. France is the
worlds greatest infidel nation.

Scientific Wrinkle
Remover Easily Made

A few dermatologists long have held
the secret that certain product known
to the drug trade as saxolite, had the
property when used in solution, of al
most instantly reducing wrinkles and
burrows. Anyone can readily make
this same solution by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half
pint Of witch hazel. Battle the face in
this-and note the quick transforma-
ton! The skin tightens, becomes
firmer-deepest wrinkles and crowsfeet at
once begin to smooth out. This action
will of course also reduce hanging cheeks
or double chin.
> When the hands show signs Of age
ing. the skin becoming coarse, creased or
flabby, bathe them in the solution. Since
the first publication of this formula.
men and women all over the country
have taken advantage of the information.
according to reports. with most satiss

WILSON MISLED
IN ATTACK ON
FRANCE, BELIEF
No Truth in Story That Codn-
try Is Beset by Militarism
Writer Says.
BY JOHN STEELE.
New York Times Chicago Tribune Cable.
CopyriRht, 1920.

London, March 13.-Mr. Wilson's
attack on French imperialism ex-
cited keen interest in England, where
| it is believed. Mr.. Wilson has been
misled BY the same set of circum-
stances which gave rise to the legend
of the Lloyd George-Nitti plot to
coerce M. Millerand into conces-
sions to Germany at the London
meeting.
Z The truth of the situation is, as
told by man who has been in
closest touch with the conference
throughout the London meetings,
that there was no plot against
France. He said it was utterly un-
true that Mr.. Lloyd George threat
ened to call the French loan. On
the contrary. he even allowed the
loan to be foated in England and
did all in his power to help France
financially.
In addition, France has suffered
far more than England or Italy, and,
therefore, is hardly so likely to take
calm, judicial view of future pro-
ceedings.
The experiences of the London
meeting are said to have been that,
when Mr.. Lloyd George and Signor
Nitti framed a new policy and M.
Millerand objected on the ground
France, who had suffered III her own
body and own population, claimed
the first right to reparation, M.
Millerand always was willing to
listen TO argument. He agreed
when it was pointed out the strict
letter of ,he treaty could not be en-
forced. There has been nothing but
the most thorough corporation
among the three powers throughout
the whole conference, which now
has ended
The conversations Of Signor Nitti
and Premier Trlmbitch on the
