Buttermilk Diet
Makes Big Hit
With Tourists
Omaha Commercial Clu b
Members Learn of Big In
crease in Dairying in
Southern Nebraska.
By PAUL GREER.

Beatrice, Neb., May 26.-(Special
Telegram, Through land flowing
with butternilk the trade excursion
of the Omaha Chamber OF Commerce
passed today. From early morning
when a supply of fresh buttermilk
was put on the dining cars at Seward,
where the creamery turns out close
to 100000 pounds of butter year,
the journey was through district in
which the production of milk has in
creased from Is to 40 per cent in the
last three years.
Nebraska farmers as whole arc
relying more and more on milk, poul-
try and eggs for ready cash and it is
through this fact that they have been
able to live while holding their
wheat. In some towns the farmers
operate cooperative creameries OF
their own, ontably Superior, where
the output of one of these plants
average $4,000 pounds of butter a
day. Two days ago the Omaha
Boosters saw a large condensed milk
plant at Fairbury which has reopened
after being closed down for several
months.
Rain Is Needed.
Pastures everywhere never were
better, and although grain fields are
i'll need of rain, dairying is drought
resisting industry that thrives when
others cannot be relied upon.
Tcday's journey through York,
Seward, Fillmore, Saline, and Gage
counties, gave evidence of the con-
tinuous prosperity that dairying
brings.
Seward, town of about $500 peo-
pie just IS miles from Omaha, stands
out as shining example of the pos
sibilities of the country town. There
is nothing which big cities have ex-
ccpt a street car system that Seward
does not possess. There are four
miles of paved streets, wide IS are
most streets in Nebraska towns,
thronged with motor cars. Even the
fire department is motorized. 1t is
said to be the smallest town in Amer
ica owning its Y. M. c. A. building
and having paid secretary. Fine
homes abound with electricity water
and sewage system provided by
the municipality. A brick plant, ice

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May 2o.-Projects OF
international financing of vast scope
and plans ior the promotion OF
American foreign trade are being
formulated by the Harding admins
tration, in cooperation with the big
international bankers of New York.
At dinner at the White House
last night the plans were discussed
by President Harding, Secretary OF
Treasury Mellon and Secretary of
Commerce Hoover with J. P. Nor
gan. James A. Alexander of the
National Bank of Commerce;
Charles A. Sabin of the Guaranty
Trust company, c. T. Mitchell of the
National City bank. William Kent
of the Bankers Trust company,
Benjamin Strong, governor OF the
New York Federal Reserve bank,
and Fl. c. McEldowny of the Union
Trust company. Pittsburgh.
1t was stated at the White House
today that the president invited the
bankers TO Washington to discuss
his proposal that in making future
loans to foreign governments and
individuals, the bankers should re-
quire that the proceeds be used to
establish credits for the purchase of
American goods or discharge of for
eign obligations to this country.
Bankers Approve Plan. -.
The bankers are reported to have
given unqualified assent to the presi-
dents proposal, which emanated
originally from New York fnanciers.
To require foreign loans to be ex-
pended in this country not only will
promote foreign trade, it was pointed
out, but increase banking business as
American sales increase.
At the same time the bankers con-
tended that extensive American in
vestments in Europe would foster
American foreign trade by promot-
ing European rehabilitation and the
power to pay the government aid
of such financing was urged.
The administration has no intention
to work out in the immediate future,
any scheme by which allied securities
would be used to take up liberty
bonds upon their maturity.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
made this clear today in commenting
on reports that the administration al
ready has decided upon such a plan
and that this is what President Hard
ing had in mind in his reference to
the allied loans in his speech i'll New
York Monday.
No Specific Plan.
Secretary Mellon said the president
merely has a hope that some day a
scheme will be feasible under which
the allied securities could be placed
in the hands Of American investors,
thus establishing direct obligation
between the foreign governments and

All Parties Well Pleased

Belfast, May 2o-Unionists have
done better in the election than they
anticipated, the Sim Feiners, worse
than their prophets predicted aud
the nationalists no more than they
looked for.
All are celebratng-the unionists,
because they have won the nation
alists and Sim Feiners, because they
have made their protests against the
partition of Ireland
Unionists expected to win 81 of
the 81 seats. They will probably get
nearer 40 seats.
Daniel Mccain, chief lieutenant in
Belfast of Joseph Devlin, national
ist leader, had hoped for IA seats.
but did not really believe more than
II nationalists and Sim Feincrs
could be returned and he proved
good prophet
Counting of the ballots will not be
completed probably until the end
of the week, but present returns
show that the unionists made their
greatest gains in Belfast, where it
is expected they will have IS or 10
seats.
One Nationalist for Belfast.
Joseph Devlin is the only national
ist or Sim Feiner who will have a
scat for Belfast, and even he was
beaten i'll his own stronghold for
first place on the poll by his union
ist opponent. T. H. Byrne. His col
league, Alderman Byrnc, had only
81 votes, or 10000 fewer than his
leader. This was due to the national
lists giving all their first votes to Dew
lin.
Sim Feiners did better than Byrne.
but on the first ballot they were we'll
belsnd the unionists.
The socialists here, as in other
constituencies, lost their deposit,
which they have to forfeit if they do
not receive certain number of votes.
In Antrim the unionists were
pretty certain OF six of the seven
seats, the other going to Devlin.
Barbour Heads List.
Louis Walsh, Sim Feiner, who
was permitted TO leave the deten-
ton camp to take part in the election
and who headed the poll in the
county council eiecton, is now near
er the bottom OF the poll, although
there are many Sinr Feiuers in
North Antrim and the glens of An
trim. The unionist, Barbour, headed
the list, with some 10000, as COM
pared with Walsh's less than 5000
At Derry the unionists elected
their three candidates-al they had
nominated, thus leaving the other
two seats. to Professor John Mac
Neil, Sim Fein, and his nationalist
running mate.

stances the candidate whose name
was first on the list, which was ar
ranged alphabetically, received the
most votes. For example, Sir r.
Anderson, unionist, had nearly 1000
more than Professor MacNeil in
Derry, where the Sim Feiner was
expected to lead.
The nationalists probably will win
eight seats and the Sim Feiners
four.
