"The process OF forming the
money trust is now virtually COM
rlete," the Daily Express charges,
and a hve-headed octopus of FIVE
great concerns dominates the money
market and can fix money rates in
dependently of the law of supply
and demand.
The Daily Express alleges that
the Bank of England is d part of the
money trust and that it has in
creased the bank rate to s per cent
without ample reason, adding mill
lions of dollars daily to the nations
burden.
Remember" warns the Daily Ex-
press, that money has ceased to be
free commodity subject to the
laws Of supply and demand so far as
Great Britain is concerned. The
treasury and the humblest indi-
vidual alike can only Obtain. advances
and credit at the hands the trust,
and must pay for them what the
trust cares to demand.
This is dangerous and anti
social situation, and no such power
can safely be placed in the uncon-
trolled hands of individuals"
The Express points out that on
October 3 the rate of interest on
treasury bills at three months was
3 IL per cent, while today it is IL
per cent. On October 3 the rate of
interest paid on deposits by banks
was per cent, while now it is 4.
Thus while the banks :re receiving
2 per cent more from the treasury
they are only paying their depos-
itors l per cent more. Since there
are about $4,200,000000 of treasury
bills out. all of them negotiable Sc
curities which can be turned into
cash any day, it means that the
added 2 per cent means gross
profit of some $l26,000,000 to the
banks which hold practically all the
bills. Raising the interest on GUS
toners deposits which were used to
take up such bills still leaves the
banks a net $63,000,000. The Daily
Express holds that such a division

Pogroms Against
Jews in Poland
Told Of in Report

New York, Jan. l8.-Details of ex-
cesses committed against the Jews in
Poland. in which 252 members OF
the race were the victims OF mob
violence, are given in the report of
the mission headed by Henry Nor
genthau, which investigated these
outbreaks and which has been made
public. The mission, which was ap-
pointed by, Secretary Lansing on the
request OF Ignace Jan Paderewski,
then president of the Polish council
of ministers, was composed of, in
addition to Mr.. Morgenthau, Brig.
Gen. Edgar Jadwin and Homer H.
Johnson. 1t arrived in Warsaw on
July IS, 1919, and remained in Po-
land for two months, during which
time it travelled by automobiles more
than $500 miles, making a personal
investigation in every town where
anti Jewish outbreaks had been re-
ported.
While admitting that in eight spe-
cihc cases the Jews had been made
the target of outrage, pillage and
murder, the report of the mission
declares that it would be unfair to
place the blame for these excesses
on the Polish nation as whole.
"Just as the Jews" the report says,
would resent being condemned as
a race for the action of few of their
undesirable coreligionists, so it
would be correspondingly unfair to
condemn the Polish nation as a
whole for the violence committed by
uncontrolled troops or local mobs.
These excesses were apparently no
premeditated, for if they had been :;
part of a preconceived plan the num-
Der of killed would have run into
thousands instead of amounting to
about 28O. 1t is believed that these
excesses were the result of wide
spread anti-semetic prejudice aggra-
waited by the belief that the Jewish
inhabitants were politically hostile
to the Polish state"

BeIated Realization of Un-

spondent.
London, Jan. 1S.-England, its
press and public men, show be-
lated but, nevertheless, solid realiza-
ton of the unwisdom of attempting
direct persuasion of America on such
subjects as the league of nations,
the peace treaty and the proposed
mandate for Turkey.
A few months ago every move in
the peace battle was followed by i'm
mediate and fulsome comment and
opinion in the editorial columns, and
by pronouncements by public men.
Today Paris and London and
Rome and Berlin still consider it
open season for comment and word
wars when any emergency or shift
ing of the pawns of peace give cause.
But when some new move is made
in the United States senate, or some
message comes from the White
House, there is a visible, almost
audible pause before any opinions
are ventured on the subject.
America has broken bounds, and
nobody on this side of the water is
sure just how extensive the break
is. Certain American correspond
ents writing for the British press
reassure john Bull and tell him that
the States will come around all
right" Certain prominent Areri-
cans here on official and semi i-official
business tell a similar story. But
these statements fail to carry bind

Service-Many Other Features on Program.

Nc. 2, November II, 1855, and still
hangs on the walls of the lodge
rooms as the oldest lodge charter
in the state.
The lodge was instituted February
|, 1856, in the first territorial capitol
building, which stood on the west
side OF Ninth street between Farnam
and Douglas streets, south of the al
ley and opposite to what was then
the Herndon house, which later was
used as headquarters for the Union
Pacific.
The charter members were Alfred
Jones, noble grand; Taylor G. Good
well; first vice grand; George Arm
strong, financial secretary; Ambrose
5. Bishop, recording secretary, and
Hadley J. Johnson, treasurer. The
lodge was instituted by Sire Jerry
Cassidy of Council Bluffs, who
crossed the Missouri river on the
ice bringing the regalia from Lodge
No. 40 of Council Bluffs.
Seven Grand Masters.
Omaha Lodge No. 2 has furnished
seven grand masters for the juris-
diction of Nebraska. They were
Asa Hunt, ST. John Goodrich, Alvin
Saunders, Alfred G. Jones, John
Evans, Charles A. Patterson and
Samuel K. Greenleaf.
Members of Lodge No. z point
with pride to the fact that their
lodge was founded almost stimuli
taneously with Omaha. They also
are proud of the fact that Mr.. Jones,
father of the lodge and founder of
the city. laid out the city site and
purchased from the original town
site company in 1857 the plot on
which the I, O. O. F. now stands.
1t is estimated there are $4,000
members of the lodge in Nebraska
and is claimed to be by far the
largest organization of its character
in the state.

BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
MAKES SATISFACTORY BAIT

A study Of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
department OF agriculture, indicates
that 20 per cent mixture with food
makes satisfactory bait. With this
percentage a rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three-eights of a
meal of average size to get a fatal
dose. IL was found that with this dose
many of the rats poisoned died within
"a hours, though an occasional rat was
found which survived an even larger
amount thus indicating that 100 per
cent mortality is not to be expected
in any case.
A summary of results of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with view to determining the dead
illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats
1t is pointed out that the fatal dose
of barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size of the animal in
creases, and that bait calculated tc

Increase in Number of
Motor Vehicles Sees
Corresponding Increase
of Forage Yields.

In the face of marvellous increase
in motor-propelled vehicles, which eat
only gasoline, it is worthy of note that
the production and consumption of
hay in the United States has increased
steadily year by year, reaching its
highest point in history in 1919 This
xear's yield will be only, slightly less.
rat the same time, the marketing of
hay has become a more particular un-
dertaking. Formerly nearly all hay
was sold within 80 miles of the place
where it was grown. Now a large
part of it is shipped by rail and some
exported.
Two Kinds of Markets.
Market hay may be divided into two
general classes: City market hay and
local, or county, market hay. The line
of distinction between the two classes
is not always distinctly drawn, but it
may be said that the demand in re-
gard to quality and better grades is
more rigid in the city than on the local
market. 1t requires better quality
Of hay to grade as No. on the city
market than on the local market.
Compared with marketing hay in
the city, disposing of it in the country
is comparatively simple matter. On
the local market the producer usually
comes in direct contact with the con-
sumer, and hay is not sold according
to its official grade, but on its merit.
1t is designated as Choice" good
bright hay" "fair," medium" etc.
This includes all kinds of hay, and
hence there is no necessity for the
producer to know the commercial
grades. s
When hay is shipped to the city
market; however, the grade given by
the shipper is of the utmost import
ance. The prices of the different
grades of hay depend, in years OF
normal yield. on the demand of city
consumers, who may be divided into
three general classes according to the
kind Of hay they feed. In the first
class are the drivers of fancy driv-
ing and saddle horses, who feed the
highest quality hay. Such horses
must be kept in the best condition,
and as No. hay is very palatable
and agrees with the horses, it is used
to furnish the required bulk of the
ration rather than the quality of nu-
tritive substances it contains. High
grade hay always finds ready sale
for the demand usually exceeds the

form.
The small bale, up to 100 pounds, is
much in demand, because one man
can load, unload, and deliver it. This
size is popular for handling where
shipments are by river boat in the
south. For southern retail trade a
bale not more than 70 pounds-ap-
proximately 80 to the TOMS popular
In several eastern markets the large
upright bale weighing from 200 to
22s pounds is preferred.
The producer should select his bes,
hay for the city market. grade it care
fully, bale it according to the market
and avoid shipping more than one
class of hay in the same car.

supply.
The second class of consumers
AVOID extremes in both price and
grade and feed the medium grades Of
hay. In the eastern part of the United
States No. ! and No. 2 timothy are
fed in preference to the other grades
and are cheaper. Consumers of this
kind are beginning to use mixed
(timothy and clover hay) and leeume
hay, especially alfalfa, in preference
to unmixed grass hay.
The third class feed the lower
grades, such as No. 3 timothy and
mo grade" This hay is fed by manv
horse owners because it is cheap and
by owners of transient and sale
stables who want something to fill
up the horses and are not greatly con-
cerned with the nutritive quality of
the feed. Experienced horse owners
know that when poor hay is fed it
requires a larger grain ration than
where better grade hay is used. The
quantity of poor hay in the market is
much greater than that of good hay.
Hay Should Be Well Baled.
Most hay for city market nowadays
is baled, and each year there is con-
siderable loss in marketing hay on
account of improper baling. The
rules by which market hay is graded
require that it be Sound and well
baled." Properly baled hay consists
