IS FARM PRODUCING
FOODS FOR FAMILY?
One of Important Factors Deter
mining Amount of Income.
Garden and Live Stock Are Usually
Cared for at Times That Do Not
Materially interfere With
Regular Farm Work.

Is the farm producing such of the
family foods as are adapted to local
conditions in ample quantities for the
welfare of the family?
: The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm is one Of
the important factors determining the
amount of the income of the farm and
the degree to which the farm business
IS safe and profitable, says the United
State department of agriculture This
is especially true of the smaller farms.
The garden ard live stock which
supply the larger part of the family
FOOD are usually cared for at times
that interfere comparatively little with
the regular farm commercial enter
prises, and by labor which otherwise
would not be utilized Further, it has
been found that, up to considerable
size of farm business, when the fam
lily food is produced on the farm, this
item, plus the fuel ard shelter fur
nished by the farm, amount to an
equivalent of the rent for the entire
farm or interest on the v&Se farm
Investment.

FRENCH ACTION is
JOLT FOR ALLIES

LONDON AND ROME WORRIED
French Troops Occupy Cities More
Than Hundred Miles From
Ruhr Troubles

London. French occupation of
Frankfort and other German cities. to-
gether with civil conditions in The
Ruhr district, is being considered b.
the counsel of ambassadors at Paris,
it is learned here.
1t is declared at the foreign office
that the British are not fully decided
as to what course to follow, because
of conflicting reports, but are inclin.
ed to give Germany benefit Of doubt
thus far.
France Notified OF Attitude
A dispatch from Coblenz says that
| it is learned at the office of Pierpont
b. Noyes, American Rhineland com
missioner, and representative of the
state department in the American oc-
cupied area, that several days ago
Mir. Noyes formally dissociated him
self from any action the high commits
sion might take involving it directly
OF indirectly in a possible French
advance into unoccupied territory. 1t
is also stated at the office that Mr..
Noyes has notified Washington OF his
action.
Germans Shell French Patrol
A dispatch from Mayence says the
only incident in connection with the
occupation of North Frankfort by the
French consisted of few shots fired.
According to reports by aviators, Ger
men gun detachments fired two or
three shells on a French cavalry pa
troll before which attachments of the
reichswehr and the security police
were retiring. The latter, although
knowing that occupation had been de-
cided on, refused to believe it would
be carried out, one of the officers
saying that the British would not let
the French come in.
Al Darmstadt, the reception of the
French troops was almost cordial, and
the population at Frankfort was in
clined to be friendly to the French.
Allied Capitals Apprehensive
London-Greatest apprehension pre-
vailed here in official and diplomatic
circles as to the eventualities involved
in the German invasion OF the Ruhr
district and the subsequent French
reLaliatory measure of occupying sew
eral points in the Frankfort region.
While admitting that the Germans
technically have violated the peace
treaty, British government officials
were inclined to regard Frances head
strong, ill considered one-handed
game"
England, Italy and the United States,
il is learned, will not acquiesce in
the French coup, which comes as an
unexpected jolt.

can be so "sour" that even alsike will
not grow. In such case there is
nothing for it but to lime or to quit
clover.
On land that has lime but is other
wise poor and lacks organic matter,
try sweet clover. 1t is no use sowing
this on "sour' soil. 1t won't thrive.
But with lime it is about the best
clover for poor land. 1t will add or
ganic matter and nitrogen and leave
such a soil in better shape for the
following crops. Sweet clover seed is
cheaper than red and in many cases
a farmer could proftably substitute
sweet clover for red in the rotation.
The questions involved in the inn
portance of clover and methods OF
getting a stand, use of lime, and
sweet clover are only touched on here.
Any state experiment station or the
United States department of agricul-
ture will send bulletins or additional
information on request.

Chicago, Agent Says

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago. Oct. 3.-One thousand
bars i'll Chicago are openly SELL
ing real beer and moonshine
whisky in flagrant violation of the
prohibition laws. according to
Maj. A. V. Dalrymple, federal
prohibition enforcement director
for this district. He adds that
thousands Of stills are making
illicit and deadly 'hootch" and that
hundreds of men, formed into COM
panies, are engaged in the bust
ness of manufacturing, stealing
and selling the stuff that passes
for whisky.
Chicago breweries supposed to
be engaged only in the manufac-
ture of near beer, are, according
to Mai. Dalrympie, brewing the
real stuff and they are running night
and day. He further charged
that the police department is do
ing nothing to enforce national
prohibition and the government
forces are SO small that they can
not hope to cope with the des-
perate situation.
"In regard to prohibition" he
said, Chicago and other large
cities Of the country are in a rev.
olutionary state. We are doing
the best we can with an inefficient

Constantinople, Oct. 5.-Part OF
the money obtained by the Near East
Relief movement from Sunday school
children and other Americans, many
of whom sacrificed their Thanksgiv-
ing dinners and one of whom sold
his home to aid the starving Ar
menians, was used to hire a Trebi-
zond hootchy-kootchy dancer and to
buy champagne to entertain officials
here so certain relief workers might
have their passports vised without
uncomfortable delays, according to
testimony produced here during con-
sular court hearings.
The hearings had to do with six
Near. East employees. who are on
trial, charged with graft and embez-
element.
Col. Coombs, director of the relief
commission, which preferred the
charges, was grilled by the defense
for approving the expenses of the
wild dinner"
did you know that champagne
flowed and that Russian singers and
hootchy-kootchy dancers entertained
at this dinner?" the defense asked.
EYES," replied Col. Coombs, "but
there was only one dancing girl
Col. Coorbs disclaimed any
knowledge OF purchases and con-
sumption of whisky, stating that ne
and Col Haskell controlled the
Caucasus branch of the relief work.
F. w. Callum, treasurer of the re-
lief committee. admitted that he had
recovered $1,000 from the sweetheart
of one of the defendants, who as
serted the woman had taken the
money against his will.
Henry Mason Day. president OF
the American Foreign Trade cor
poration, testified regarding the pur-
chase of 1000 small automobile tires
from Col Coombs for $12 apiece.
This he termed a fair price, which
tire defense disputed. .
Dr.. w. w. Peet, who has been a
missionary here for 80 years and
who attracted attention IS years ago
by rescuing Ellen Stone from Raj

chairman of the executive commit
tee, the sale was made without his

Legion to KeepUp
Battle for Bonus
Stiff Fight i'll Progress, With
Little Likelihood of Pass

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Oct. 3.-Although tht
American Legion has again gone on
record for the passage of the sol
diers' bonus bill, opponents of the
measure in congress are preparing
to continue their Eighth against il
and believe it will be sidetracked in
the coming session.
The bill was passed by the house
late in the session last spring and
was sent to the senate finance conf
nlittee where it failed to receive any
consideration Supporters of the
proposition will be on hand early ii,
the December session to urge the
senate finance committee to report
the bill promptly to the senate. A
stiff fight is in prospect in the sem
ate with passage of the measure ex-
tremely doubtful. ..
Representative Kahn of California,
chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, declared that he pro-
posed to do everything possible to
prevent final enactment of a bonus
bill.
"When I was out in California I
went before the local camp of the
american Legion in my district to
discuss the soldiers bonus BILL" said
Representative Kahn. II told the
men that they were heroes in the war
and they are heroes in the times of
peace, and that they should not urge
congress to pass such a bill which
would mean an addition to the deficit
of the government by at least $3,000,-
100000. They agreed with ME and
approved my position"
Even if the bill should go through
the senate it is believed that Presi-
dent Wilson would veto it. That
such action would be taken by the
president was strongly intimated in
a letter by Secretary of the Treasury
Houston to house committee last
snring. There would be little pos
sibility of the passage OF the bill over
the presidents veto.

on .sed by American con-
sun
By the experts at the island, the
viseing of papers by American con-
suls is regarded as raucous joke.
1t affords no protection--the deten-
tions demonstrate that--and as now
operated, it is a mere ceremonial
that gives a chance to collect a fat
fee. Few consuls have facilities for
inquiring into the physical, mental
and financial status of the applicant.
Imposition is easy. g.
Ship Lines Alarmed.
Again the steamship lines have a
share in the blame. Ocean trans
portation which was shot to pieces
during the war, is now being reor-
ganiled. The companies are COM
peting for business. Steerage fares
from European ports which averaged
about SIS to $27 before the war, are
now about $ll0, so the government
officials declare, and at this high
rate, ship can take chance on
having to transport an undesirable
back to port of origin at its own
expense. ...
Within the last four weeks, three
lines alone brought to this port, l.
757 steerage passengers who had no
money at all, not penny and D.
$50 who had less than $50 each. They
have been without funds to proceed
to their destinations, and most of
them were detained as likely to be-
come public charges, which for some
time past has been the most i'm
portant single cause of rejection. All
told, this mixture of the penniless the
diseased, the feeble-minded and the
otherwise undesirable in the volume
of present immigration, is such that
during September, with 70,052 alien
there were more detentions
at Ellis island than in April and
May, 1914. when 100000 a month

against the brick building. The
crank was pressed against his ab-
domen.
The first person to know of the
accident was Don Graham. who was
in a room on the second floor Of
the building. He heard the noise of
the impact and looked out OF the
window. He saw Swanson lying IN
pool Of blood beside his car.
Other students were summoned
by Graham and they carried Swan
SON to the University hospital, hall
a block away. Swanson died before
ne was put on the operating tabl..
He suffered fractured skull.
Swanson, member of the Phi
Rho Sigma fraternity, was born Ii.
Lincoln, Neb. He is an orphan and
had been working his way through
school by working in the advertising
department. of the World-Herald and
with the aid of his sister, Viola, OF
