The Foolish Peasant.

Once upon time there was a peasant
who said it was too cold TO 60 out IN the
woods to chop logs for the fire. So he con-
ceived the idea of chopping up the fur
he had disposed thus of the chairs and
tables-and then, being cold once more,
he took out the window frames and
burned them; and after the window
frames, the doors These being burned,
he was colder than ever. Thereupon he
started to tear down the house and burn
il piece by piece until at the end he had
neither house nor heat.-Bisfnarck

U. S. IS SPENDING
$l8,OOO,OOO A DAY
GOVERNMENT EXPENSES FOR
YEAR EXPECTED TO REACH
ABOUT $3.50, 100000

WASHINGTON, D. CT cost
S5,O28,176,0OO to run the govern
ment for the first nine months of the
fiscal year, and taking this as an
average treasury officials said on
Sunday that total government ex-
penditures for the twelve months
period ending on June 80 next would
reach approximately $6,700,000,000
or nearly $18,000,000 a day.
Further appropriations by con-
gress and the soldier bonus, which
is estimated to cost the government
$1,000, 100000, are not included.
Last December Secretary Glass fig
ured that running expenses would
amount to $6,097,237, 900, but he did
not take into account the loss in
government operation of railroads.
The principal items which go to
make up the nine months expenses
are:
War department, $1,3O1, sos, 900.
Railroad administration, $776,590,-
600.
Navy department, 1921, $4,000.
Shipping board, $433, 100000.
Interest on the public debt, 1884,
$4,000.
Congress has spent for its own
maintenance 100000 and the ex-
ecutive offices cost $6,177000.

At the government balloon sta

DR.. Millener expects the signals

tween the spheres must be by the
language of mathematics, the science
which is the same all through the
universe, the science to which the
worlds revolve. If the Martians are
far enough advanced to try to sig
nal the earth they are far enough
advanced to know mathematics.
"The actual signal must be by wire

gy, projected as a wave, which we
must be able to pick up and inter

OMAHA, Neb.-Sitting in lone
lv farmhouse thirty miles from Oma-
ha where none of the ordinary cleo

lex H. Millener, foremost wireless
telephone expert of the country, is
listening tonight to catch signals that
the people of the planet Mars may
be hurting across a space OF mil

DR.. Millener is surrounded by the

less receiving station in the world.
His intensifiers will magnify even
the faintest connections among the

Tonight, while the planet Mars IS

wireless use on earth. And it is by
the extreme length of wave that DR..

any signal which he may record is

space.

BRYAN VICTORIOUS in
NEBRASKA PRIMARY
WILL BE A DOMINANT FIGURE
AT SAN FRANCISCO. OP-
POSES LEAGUE.

Observation-Disclosures are
preparing for the storm in the San
Francisco convention which cannot be
avoided. In the recent Nebraska
primary VIM. J. Bryan. who was OPP
posed by Senator Hitchcock, Wilson
leader in the senate, and all admin
istration forces in the state, was
elected a delegate at large, and will
attend the national convention at
San Francisco.
He will lead the opposition to Pres
ident Wilson in respect to the admin
istration's desire that the democratic
platform contain a plank indorslne
the league of nations. He will lead
the opposition to the plan of eastern
democrats to write in the platform a
plank committing the democratic par
ty to policy whereby each state by
desirable legislation could modify the
effect of the national prohibition law.
There is no question on the part of
democrats in Washington but that
Mr.. Bryan will have great power IN
the convention. He has largely dom
mated every convention for thu. last
20 years. 1t was the hope of demo-
Gratis here that he would be beaten.
Stormy Times Ahead.
When the news came that Mr.. Bry-
an had acquired commission as del
egate. the democracy of New Jersey
pledged to Governor Edwards and de-
termined to write in the platform
liberal plank, announced that 1t ac-
cepted the challenge of Mr.. Bryan.
Those opposed to Mr.. Bryan con-
tend that for two reasons the demo-
cratic party should take some action
critical of prohibition. The first rea-
son, according to this contention, is
that prohibition restricts personal lib
erty. The second reason is one of
strategy or expediency. 1t is believ-
ed bv the liberals that the democratic
partv's one chance to carry the cleo
tons lies in a declaration antagonls-
tic to prohibition as it obtains today:
It is pointed out that the South Will
support the ticket irrespective of the
platform, and that with liberal plat
form the democrats would carry New
York. New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio,
California, and possibly Indiana and
illinois.
At any rate, the election Of Bryan
means a rip roaring convention.

TREMENDOUS PROFITS
ARE MADE ON SHOES
LEATHER TRUST is WORST OF
FENDER, WITH RETAIL MER-
CHANTS CLOSE SECOND.

An investigation Of the alleged ex-
orbitant prices charged for boots and
shoes is under way by the senate sub
committee on manufactures.
1t was shown by statistics of the
federal trade commission that profits
on capital in hides, tanning, shoe
making, wholesaling and retailing all
increased excessively down to the
time regulation was enforced, were
checked during the period of regu-
lation and resumed the rise imn1e-
diately after regulation ceased,
The commission found that labor,
instead Of being the chief profiteer,
was very modest. In typical pair
of mems shoes, between 1914 and
1917, cost of leather increased 116
per cent, cost of other materials in
creased II per cent, cost of labor in
creased 81 per cent.
Earnings on capital showed like
results. Average earnings of so
tanning companies were twice as
great in 1917 as in 1914. Retailers
in Washington testified before a
senate committee recently, indicating
that the ordinary rule in fixing the
selling price was to add sc per cent
to what the retailer paid for it. I'm
der this rule their profits had in
creased vastly. One dealer testified
that in 1914 his firm had net profits
of S2,0f4. in 1917 of S18,743, and
in 1913 of SG4,743.

SOFT DRINKS ARE
ALMOST BAD AS BEER
DIR. WILEY, THE FOOD MAN,
TALKS OF THINGS TO EAT
AND TO DRINK.

WASHINGTON.-Dr. Harvey W..
Wiley says soft drinks are worse than
beer.
He condemns the' whole soft drink
family as one of the big things to be
avoided in fighting spring fever.
"Pops, root beer, phosphates, gin
ger ale, bevo, malt extracts, coca-cola
and the whole family of 'olas' are
harmful" says Dr.. Wiley.
"Ice cream is a food, but a very
poorly balanced one. Milk is good,
but sugar and spices and flavors in
it only burden the walls of the stom-
ach., We have such ailments as
Bright's disease in the same proper
ton as we eat sugars and sweets"
Frankly, spring fever is only an
other name for laziness, according to
DR.. Wiley. He gives two causes for
it. One is the overburdening of the
organs of the body with sugar,
starches and fats.
During cold weather." he ex-
plains, "the heat generated by these
heavy foods is utilized by the body
but with a rise in temperature there
is too much heat. The second cause
is too much heat. The second cause
is that the stimulation of cold keeps
one awake, but softness of spring
winds from the south hull one to re-
pose"
"Eat less" is his advice to ward off
this lazy feeling. The body requires
less fuel, since the radiation is not
so great. In the same breath with
soft drinks DIR. Wiley puts the ban
on meats, fats Except butter), sugar,
pudding, desserts, pies, corrections
and candy. He says coffee, tea, CO.
Goa and chocolate are wholly unnec-
essary and positively injurious.
"My children do not have the
spring fever. They are running
over with energy the year round,
says DIR. Wiley "They are given
pure food and not too much of it.
Where one child is starving five are
being fed into the grave. When |
cannot see my boys ribs l become
alarmed for fear they are ready to
fall victim to some disease Either
of them could pose for the Armenian
relief posters.
"These poor little children never
get any candy or pies or soft drinks.
But they have lots of fun enjoying
good health.
eff spring fever patients will
change their diet, exercise, eat less
than they want and at regular inter-
walls they will soon adjust themselves
to the new spring temperature" he.

FEAR OF PRICE DROP
CAUSE FARM SHORTAGE
LABORERS TURN TO INDUSTRY
WHERE THEY CAN MAKE
MORE MONEY.

WASHINGTON, D. C,-Who is to
blame for the shortage of farm la
Dor?
Many farm laborers have discov-
cred that they can make more by
going into industry and have de-
serted the farms. Farm owners are
complaining they cannot compete
with industry, and many of them are
actually curtailing the acreage.
Farm employers are refusing to
raise wages because they say the
prices of commodities will be lower
at marketing time this year than last
and that if they invest in labor al
high price now and depend on
future market for their crops they
are taking grave chances on losing
money.
The workers say: rThat's what
YOU have been telling us all the time
and as a result we have let you BAN
boozle us into taking less for oui
work in proportion to what the crops
sold for than we got before pros
perity hit the contry."
1t is fear on the part of the farm
employer that makes the acreage anC
the crop production for 1920 uncer
tain.
Missed Profit Chance.
It is we'll to recall here that
many farmers last year got scared
at high wages, thinking prices would
fall. AS a result they missed the OPP.
portunity of making big profits.
''The farmers who have taken g
chance are the ones that have made
big money" stated an official of the
bureau of crop estimates. "And un-
less a panic hits the country, which
is not likely, those who met the high
wages and grow full crops are the
ones who will make a killing this
year"
In 1910 the farmer got 4S cents
a bushel for his corn, SO cents fol
his wheat and IA cents pound fo1
his cotton, and in 1919 these respect.
i've prices were $1.35, $2.15 anC
SO cents, highest in 10 years, except
corn dropped 2 cents the last year

A FOOD EXPERT TESTS
A SUBSTITUTE FOR EGGS
New Scheme to Beat Hen Declared
To Be a Success.

New Scheme to Beat Hen Declared
To Be a Success.
WESTFIELD, Mass.-The poor old
hen will have nothing to do but live
a life of ease and unproductiveness
of the egg substitutes submitted to
Professor Allyn, pure food expert,
materializes. With eggs selling at rs
cents per dozen an egg substitute
selling for so cents per pound and
equal in food value to fifteen eggs
would be saving all the housewives
would desire.
Professor Allyn analysed prepa-
ration of this nature and found it to
contain over 80 per cent cornstarch,
8 per cent skinned milk and small
percentage coal tar dye. The prep
aration is of real merit, according to
Allyn.
Chemists in a laboratory made
cake from the egg substitutes, the
cake being found nearly as good as
if eggs had been used. The substi-
tute is used ordinarily for cooking
purposes in place of the hens prod
uct. 1t can also be scrambled.
Tastes like real egg.

FIERCE WIND STORM
KILLED l4O PEOPLE
LEFT TRAIL OF DEATH
IN TENNESSEE, ALABAMA
AND MISSISSIPPI

A tornado which swept a score
of towns and villages and isolated
farms in eastern Mississippi, north
western Alabama and southern coun-
ties of Tennessee eXacted toll OF
more than 140 lives, scores of injured
and propertv loss estimated at more
than S2.OOO,000. The storm is said
to have swept down with deadly sud
denness, obliterating everything IN
its path In at least one case, Rose
Hill. Miss, virtually the entire town
was destroyed, in several instances
every member of a family being KILL
ed.
Striking first apparently near Lau-
derdaIe county, Miss, the storm
swept across the state, doing heavy
damage in the heart of the rich ag-
riculturaI district near Meridian. In
Glen, Aberdeen, Ingomar, Egypt,
Baker and Bay Springs many hives
were lost. A lumber camp near Phil
adelphia was wrecked, II men being
killed. At Aberdeen a stock farm
with 500 hogs was wiped out.
In Alabama the rural districts
around Sheffield, Gurley, Little Cove
and Waco felt the 1ull Iorce VI t .,1
storm. More than score were kill
ed in this area. :,
In Tennessee the storm wrecked
MANY homes, cut swath through for.
est and field and wrecked scores OF
barns. Only three deaths were re-
ported in the state.
In Mississippi the dead is $50 and
200 injured, in Alabama 78 dead and
500 injured, in Tennessee 5 dead and
80 injured. Families made homeless
in the three states total close to 5OO
and losses in live stock and proper
ty will approximate $2,O00,000.
Men have taken twisted tim6ers
from wrecked houses and made shell
ters TO protect their families from
rain and winds. Most of these shell
tiers are about the size of an average
room and in some cases as many as
five families huddled together under
the same roof.
One of many touching scenes was
the finding of the dead body OF
woman beside which lay her little
habv pulling at her dress and trying
to make her speak.
