days last week. THIS is the conception

for the Public Ledger under 'Msn and
business September iSD
On the Road, Sept. l4.-Omaha
does a work OF Amerieanization
worthy OF study by other cities.
About 1000 ioreigu-born are natur-
allied there each year. The CHAM
Der OF Commerce has arranged that
when the new citizen receives his
papers il shall be in the assembly
room OF the chamber or in the ro-
tunda OF the court house or in the
public library. Usually il is at the
chamber. Notices are sent to the
embryo citizens and they. their wives
and children are invited TO be the
guests OF the chamber. Prominent
citizens attend TO welcome the for
eign-born. The American, flag is
put in conspicuous position. Able
men make addresses. The visitors
are made 10 know the whole city is
interested in them as additions to
the great American family. They
are told what America stands for,
what it has done and the opportu-
nifty offered here for Industrious,
honest people of any ard every land.
They are informed that the Cham
ber OF Commerce offices are open to
them.
Usually the speakers include
representative OF the courts, a rep
resentative Of the city government
and n representative OF the cham
Der. Usually some OF the new citi-
zens make responses. A buffet
luncheon is served. There are
cigars for the men, confections for
the women and children, and there
is welcome and informality to it all.
Promotes School Campaign.
The Chamber OF Commerce OF
Omaha promotes Know Your
City Campaign" in the schools. Pu-
pills from all the schools are taken
at intervals to the various points OF
in the municipality, the in
dustrial establishments, the parks,
over the many arteries of travel and
so on. Then. 10 those who write
the best essays, the chamber awards
prizes. ..
Another unique feature is the cs-
tablishment of all old folks day. All
the old folks are the guests, of the
city at a celebration in one of the
parks. Persons between 20 years
and so years wear white badges.
those between 80 and 90 blue and
those above 90 gold. Young people
wait on them, take them to and
from the celebration in automobiles
and do homage to them. There are
addresses made i'll praise Of the
guests. Flowers are given to them
and flower buds showered on them.
And there is music.

isn't much. bu, II Is physically sep
arated from the home state. an'
probably will remain so. for IL hai
been away from home 40 years.
| Way back in 1881 the Big Muddy
as the Missouri river is called, wen
on a rampage. as the rivers OF thu
west sometimes do. The water ros'
to heights never known before
There had been a big bend in th,
river just above Council Bluffs ane
the raging waters Strengthened on,
part OF this curve by making a new
channel for themselves. When tn,
food subsidcd the river not only had
cut a slice off Council Bluffs. bu,
had piled silt in its old bed and
also around the piece OF Iowa il had
severed from home and mother SO
that il not only was joined TO Me-
braska, but surrounded by Nebraska
land.
The bit of Iowa comprises about
1000 acres. Nearby is what is known
as Carter lake. This was named in
honor OF manufacturer OF white
lead, whose plant is there today but
dismantled. There's a Carter Lake
club on the lake shore. The club
has about 800 or 500 members, but
the permanent residents OF the bit
OF lost Iowa do not exceed $50 or
200 in number.
There have been suggestions OF
Strengthening on. the state line, but
this never has been done. Today
il any one breaks a law in this
strayed portion OF Iowa all he has
to do is walk away short distance
and he is out OF reach OF the law.
Or if any one nearby in Nebraska
offends against the statutes he may
move into this bit OF what you might
call No Mans Land. for Iowa pays
no attention to the bit Of earth that
wandered away nor does Nebraska
to the stray that came and huddled
by her side. ..
Coli Is Popular.
Golf has wide appeal throughout
the middle-west and northwest. Per-
sons of means play the game in its
Scotch form, there being links in
nearly every city. Not a few of the
public parks have golf courses, too.
African golf is popular. A varia-
ton of the eastern and southern
method OF play may be seen in al
most every cigar store. The gen.
tlemen roll six bones instead Of two.
Barnyard golf has had a sudden
and remarkable return to favor. In
olden days this game was known
as quoits. There is one thing that
can be said in recommendation of
tarnyard golf 1t doesn't cost so
much as the regulation golf or Afri-
can variety. All you need is an old
horseshoe and lot of time. Both
horseshoes and waste time seem
plentiful from the abundance Of play
ers.

ITCHING ECZEMA
DRIED RIGHT UP
WITH SULPHUR

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying little Men
tho-Sulphur, says a noted skin spe-
cialist. Because OF its germ destroy
ing properties. this sulphur prepara-
tion instantly brings ease from skin
irritation. soothes and heals the
eczema right up and leaves the, skin
clear and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the tor
ment and Disagreement. Sufferers
from skin trouble should get little
jar OF Mentho-Sulphur from any
good druggist and use it like a cold

Cecil Withdraws
Demand Mandate
Terms Be Fixed
South African Delegate to
League Is of Opinion Amer.
lean Claims Can
Be Settled.

Geneva, Sept 2i.-Lord Rober
Cecil! representing South Africa
after Indicating 10 the political eom'
mission OF the league OF nations as.
sembly that he thought the Amer.
can claims on mandates could be
satisfied, withdrew his demand tha,
the terms OF the 4 and u mandates
be fixed at once.
IL was pointed out that the A
mandates were so tied up with the
treaty Of Seyres that II would be
impossible TO proceed Immediately 10
adopt them. But Lord Robert i'll
sisted that thesB mandates concern
ing the former German-Airiean colo
nies could be fixed at once.
II. A. l.. Fisher OF Great Britain
said that the council could not ac.
cept a suggestion by the assembly
to adopt the mandates as proposed
while negotiations were going on be-
tween the United States and the four
mandatories.
Lord Robert replied that it was 4
question OF taking into account the
suggestions Of the United States.
The council could boldly modify the
mandates, he said, in the sense in
dicated by the United States and give
the territories the status OF which
they were so much in need. Mr..
Fisher insisted that the council
would refuse such a suggestion.
Alter Mr.. Fisher, NJ. Raynal,
France, and NJ. Boullet, Belgium,
had assured the commission that
their governments would give the
mandates commission every facility
for scrutinizing the administration Of
the territories under mandate, Lord
Robert Withdrew his resolution and
the commission adopted the recon-
mendation that the assembly ask the
council to insist that the powers push
negotiations with the United States
and reach an agreement at the earli-
est possible moment.

Rig DECORATIVE MARBLE
DEPOSIT IN UPPER END OF
THIS VALLEY DEVELOPED

According to the Salida Record
the big marble beds Of the Colorado
Decorative Marble company are now
being developed. and II hopes tina,
thru this development the narrow
guaEe line OF the Denver 4 Rio
Grande Western over Poncha pass
viii be made . standard guage.
o. L. Merrill. president and gen
eral manager OF the marble com
pany, says that six story mill has
been erected ut the marble beds and
a crusher OF one hundred tons daily
capacity has been Installed. The
company has orders for four hun
dred cars OF the crushed marble, TO
be used In certain kinds OF decor
ative work.
The movement OF this big order
and the further development OF the
marble beds which will follow this
initial order will so increase the
transfer work At Salidx that the
road will have to brosdguage ms a
matter of economy. II is thought
that the tracks will be extended
right to the marble quarry.
This marble deposit was written
up by the Journal two years ago. In
the interim MIR. Merrill and his as
sociatcs have gone ahead q" city
with their development work. There
Is now q good wagon road to tho
property. and all that is needed to
make this one OF tho big entcrprls-
es Of tho valley is better and more
convenient shipping facilities.
The marble beds are located near
Villa Grove In the upper end OF the
valley. and In quality and extent are
said to surpass anything Of tho kind
In tho world. These marble beds
produce all the colors Of decorative
marble that are most used In the
finer class OF big buildings. Tho
decorative marble used In tho new
state office building at Denver came
from this Quarry.-Alamosa Jour
